Alcohol Made From Reefs.

Fremont (Neb.) Cores. st. Louis Republic
W. c. Peterson. who has been experiment.
ing with a process for the manufacture of
crude sugar from beets, has succeeded in
making crude spirits from the juice Sat-
urday, at his residence in Saunders county,
in the presence Of Deputy Collector of
Revenue Mathews of Omaha and a number
CT Fremont business men, he operated his
still for the first time and succeeded in
obtaining a spirit which was tested by W.
H. Bruner and reached the high point of
40 degrees. The juice is first treated by
chemica al process. upon which Peterson has
a patent, which removes from it all the
albumtnoids and Salts and Is then allowed
to ferment. after which 1t goes through
the still. The liquor obtained with only one
distillation was light, milky color, and
was said by Mathews to be more like rum
than any other spirit. 1t had the general
smell and appearance of raw spirits, and
had no vegetable taste.
The heets used in the test were of per
cent sugar. The purity coefficient was not
determined. Mr. Peterson says that beets
Of as low grade as per cent sugar can be
used. "a
The cost Of the spirit, he asserted, is
much less than that made from other SUBJ
stances, and he does not think that for the
manufacture OF the raw spirit an extern
sive plant Is necessary. Those posted on
the manufacture OF spirits are of the opin-
ion that a high-grade alcohol can be made
from the juice, and that a large additional
demand for beets will thus be created.

The municipal and private pawnshops may
both exist in the same town. The rate of

at not more than "a per cent per annum
on loans under thirty marks and not over
IL per cent on larger sums.
In Berlin the pawnshop Is q royal ins ti-

At Hanau no interest is charged on loans

places no one is allowed to pawn articles
of more than two hundred marks value

The Di.trteg Chemists An.'y.i. OF
the Dr9k. Captured in the
e
Prisoners Quarters.

In the work Of Detectives Horne. Weldon
and Helan leading to the capture of the
alleged knockout" men, Frank Lewis and
Frederick Nelson, a Chinese laundryman
played an important part. The celestial
had their wash in his place. and was to
have had it ready for them Wednesday,
but 1t was not ready when they called or
sent for it. They therefore concluded
to remain until yesterday morning. Had
the officers been delayed over night in
making the investigation the men would
have been gone, for they had made ar
rargements to leave YESTERDAY morning.
Detectives ODonnell and Ward of Balti-
more, who came here yesterday with II.
Easter Gale. the young man who identified
them as the men who brutally assaulted and
robbed him In the monumental city. as pub
lished in yesterdays Star, were very much
elated over the work Of the detectives in
apprehending the men.
Detective O'Donnell considers the arrest
one Of the most important that has been
made in this section Of the country for &
long time. After the doping" and robbing
of Mr.. Gale in Baltimore this officer went
in search of the men. He obtained from
Mr.. Gale good descriptions of the men, and
then he tracked them to Philadelphia, Jer-
sey City and New York. where he lost all
trace Of them.
This afternoon Mr. A. w. Eastlack of 3314
0 street. Georgetown, called at police head
men. He had seen their pictures in yester-
days Star and he felt certain that they
are the men whom he suspected of robbing
him New Years eve while on his way home
from a watch meeting. Mr.. Eastlack was
on street car at the time and was jostled
by two men, One of them had light hair
and did the work.
1.-The pictures are exact likenesses of the
men, he said, "but l thought would like
to see them"
He explained that he got on the car at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Az
time One Of them pushed against him.
and he was certain that the other man
picked his pocket of his pocket book, which
contained SO.
Later Mr.. Eastlake called at the police
station, and fully identified the men as
those who were on the car at the time he
was robbed.
Tomorrow morning the men may be
taken into the Police Court and committed
until next week for examination. but it is
likely that they will eventually be turned
over to the Baltimore authorities.
Prof. J. d. Hird, chemist In the health
department, has made an analysis of the
solution of choral found In the room of
the prisoners, and will make his report to
the police tomorrow morning. He found
that there were glycerlre and rose water
used in some Of the bottles containing the
solution This was used for the purpose
of destroying the sckening odor of the
choral. There was a bottle of glycerine
and rose water found among their effects.
The ordinary dose of Choral Prof. Hird
told Star reporter this afternoon. Is from
fifteen to thirty grains. Books on this sub
ject show that a dose produces a quiet
sleep in about ten or fifteen minutes AMI
any unpleasant symptoms during its pro-
greSS.

KINDNESS TO DOGS.
What . Famous Trainer Has to SAP
on the Subject.

What . Famous Trainer Has to SAP
on the Subject.
From the New York Times
1T is a great mistake to suppose" eaid
this famous dog trainer. that all dogs can
be made to perform any trick. however
simple. successfully. 1t Ii equally true
and too much emphasis cannot be put on
the fact-that perhaps not one man in ev-
cry FIVE thousand Is At to educate dog.
You may laugh at this assertion, but II IL
painfully true, nevertheless First Of all. a
man who intends to be successful with dogs
must really love the animals Dogs. far
more than any dumb brutes. are most sus-
ceptible to impressions and kind treat
ment. Let a dog once and for all under
stand that you do not wish to hurt or
harm him and he will amply repay you
for your labor. I would under no condi-
tons have a dog handled by a man who
did not have the kindest of dispositions as
well as an almost inexhaustibie amount
of patience. This given, let the work be-
gin.
Another illusion that the public fondly
clirgs to is that certain breeds of dogs are
more tractable and easier taught than
others. This is nonsense. Barring. per-
haps. the poodle, which breed has been
used for circus purposes longer than any
other, almost any other dog will do. When
you choose a dog you must beforehand
have made up your mind to what particu.
lar trick or tricks you intend 10 train him.
4 man in this business must be lhoroue hly
posted on the peculiarities OF each breed.
1t is better to take very young dog, say.
puppy about six months old. for a pupil.
After such a puppy has overcome its at
first very natural timidity, it develops an
eager desire for romping and playfulness.
Here is the opportunity of the dog trainer.
He now begins sort of dog kindergarten,
utilizing the animals disposition to play
as the vehicle of instruction.
