THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The Railroad Company is Working
tc Establish Factories.

Last Spring the enterprising man
agement of the NJ. & St. l.. railroad de-
cided to experiment as to the quality
and value Of Minnesota beets with a
view to encouraging the building of
sugar factories aloug it's line, and they
obtained suitable seed and through an
agent distributed it among the farm
ers for test. Samples of the beets
grown from this seed have been sent
to a chemist of the State University,
and the result of his analysis are be-
ing made known.
His analysis of the beets furnished
by T. A. Vandegrift, of Manchester, is
as follows:
MR.. L. A. VANDERGRIFT, Albert Lea,
Mimi received sample of beets from
you few days ago, which showed Oh
analysis: 12.1 per cent sugar in the juice
of the beet, 11.5 per cent sugar in the
beet itself ii. e. of it's W.T. 1906 per cent
purity of juice ii. e. gall. the matter in
the juice not water); 1906 per cent was
sugar. This is average of all the beets
sent in, Your tonnage of beets minus
tops multiplied by the per cent sugar in
beet, would represent approximately
the total available sugar. The beets
were in bad condition when received,
that is, dry and leaves decaying, SO that
not much reliance can be placed on the
results. Yours very truly,
Oct. s, 1896. EDWARD E. NICHOLSON.
This is said to be highly gratifying
showing, and justifies the expectations
of the promoters of the experiments
Both St. Paul and Minneapolis are
anxious to secure sugar factories, but
it is likely that the NJ. &. St. L. COM
pany will favor a point like Redwood
Falls that is located midway on its
line, and our citizens will certainly CO.
operate with the company in establish
ing factory here and in making it a
success.

BIG FISHING.
Mrs. Lockwood D. Welsh Catches
Bio Member of the Tribe.

The Minneapolis Journal of last
Friday contains an account of some
big fishing in the lakes near that city.
One of the big catches was made by
Mrs. Lockwood D. Welsh, whose hus-
band is quite wellknown in this city.
The article states:
AS the weather gets colder big fish
in the lakes are feeding better. Pike,
generally referred to in this locality
as pickerel, always feed hungrily
when the weather becomes frosty, and
in very cold weather are more easily
taken than at any other time. During
the regular fishing season the big fell
lows seem to lie dormant at the bottom
of deep water, and they cannot be
tempted by any sort of bait. Last
winter some enormous pike were taken
from Minnetonka by "permit" fisher
men who speared them through the
ice, while but very few fish of more
than the average weight have been
caught throughout the summer
months.
Last week Mrs. Lockwood D. Welsh
of 81 Eighth street S, accompanied
by Mr.. Welsh, was fishing from a
small boat off Casco Point. She was
using an ordinary three-hook plated
spoon and regular trawling line.
Mrs. Welsh has taken several good
fish this summer, most Of them bass,
but this time she caught tartar.
When but short distance from the
shore, she suddenly felt dead weight
on the line as though it had caught
in a rock on the bottom. So heavy
was the strain that if Mrs. Welsh had
not been wearing gloves she would
have been compelled to let go the
line. AS it was she hung on gamely
and slowed the boat round.
Stump" said Welsh.
Rocks, l think" said Mrs. Welsh.
"a fish, they both cried, as the
big 'un made up his mind he couldn't
digest the spoon, and tried to shake
it loose. Then, discovering that he
was hooked for good, the fish made
one of those terrific rushes for which
nothing that wears fins is the equal
of the pike.
Those gloves were the very thing.
The line travelled through them forty
feet one way, fifty another. The fish
ran, doubled, dived, broke water, shot
under the boat and once tried to jump
over it. Under disadvantageous cir
cumstances Mrs. Welsh fought him
until she was in fainting condition,
when Mr.. Welsh took the line and
undertook to see the thing through.
About fifteen times he got that pike
up close to the boat, and as many
times he broke for cover again like a
streak of lightning. His eyes were as

A DROP TOO MUCH.
Painter Attempted Strangulation, but
 the Rope Broke in, the Middle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-Simon Brauer, Respondent painter, attempt ed to commit suicide yesterday morn ing, but on account of an accident he landed at the bottom of well with sprained ankle instead of broken neck. He now occupies a cot at the city and county hospital.
 Brauer says he wanted to die and he adopted what seemed to him to be the most effective method of attaining his object. The spot selected by him was an open well, twenty-five feet deep, on top of Reservoir hill at Market and Valencia streets.
 The painter climbed the hill shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday morning. car rying small rope He inspected the open well and found that one of the inner braces of the high fence extend ed over the opening, thus forming a convenient gallows beam. To this brace Bauer fastened one end of his rope. He fixed the other end in a slip-noose about his neck. To pre- vent any accident he first took off his coat to allow the rope to encircle his neck without chance of encumbrance. The rope was about twelve feet long, thus insuring plenty of slack and a good drop.
 These details perfected, Bauer closed his eyes, pressed his arms close to his sides and jumped from the curb into the well. A moment later he was screaming with pain at the bottom of the we'll. The rope had parted in the middle.
 Though Brauer's neck was not broken, as he had hoped it would be, the fall to the bottom had been suffi- ciently severe to give the man a seri- ous shock, besides spraining his left ankle badly. Pain and fright caused him to call Justify for help. Mrs. Des- mond, who occupies cottage about fifty feet from the reservoir, heard his cries and directed some men who were working in the vicinity to as- certain the cause. They soon located Brauer and fshed him out of the well After he had explained how he had fallen into the well he was taken to the receiving hospital, where his injured ankle was dressed. Later in the day he was taken to the city and county | hospital, where he will remain until the injured member is cured.

PLAN OF CUBAN HOME RULE.
Spain Proposes a Congress
 Elected by the People.
The Congress Would Have Control of the Whole Island, ana the Home Government Would Still Exercise Supervisory Powers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Another important step toward the plan of home rule for Cuba has been taken by the Spanish authorities. The former plan proposed, but not executed some months ago, provided for Cuban con- gress of thirty members, of whom the queen regent was to name fifteen and the people of Cuba were to elect six teen. It is now proposed to do away with that part providing for the nam- ing of members by the queen regent so that the Cuban congress will be elected by the Cuban people. This and the entire control given to Cuba in making the tariff laws of the island will con- stitute the essential features of the new plan of home rule. That giving the people the election of it's congress is felt to carry out in script as we'll as in letter the idea of home rule. Thus far only the general nature of the pro- posed congress has been made known to the officials in Washington and the plan of reforms has not been received, nor is it likely to be completed until after the completion of the Porto Rico reforms which will be signed by the queen regent tomorrow as suitable Christmas act. Under the Spanish system it will be necessary to submit the foregoing changes to the Cortes, which is not now in session and not likely to meet before February.
 The Christmas day reforms for Porto Rico are allied with those for Cuba. being the second section of the same law. They give Porto Rico a congress, the province of San Juan and Ponce. alternating every two years in choosing a member for a term of four years. Congress is given control of the whole island. The home govern ment will continue ta4 be represented by captain general who will exer- else supervisory power and be local delegate to the ministry of the col onies. The foregoing was the plan approved by the Cortes, but as in the case of Cuba it is believed the plans will be enlarged so as to make the congress wholly representative of the people of the island The definite action Of the queen in signing the Porto Rico reforms tomorrow is be- lieved by officials here to be a prelude to similar action for Cuba.

SECURED S3,OOO.
The Robbery of the Chicago & Alton
 in the Blue Cut.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 24.-The Chicago & Alton express which was held up by masked bandits in the famous Blue Cut near Independence, Wednesday night, arrived at St. Louis this after noon at los. The story obtained from the trainmen shows that the robbery was one of the cleverest and boldest pieces of work done by road agents during the year.
 The express messenger, J. K. Frier, feels terribly broken up over the rob bery. When the train crew first asked how he fared, he said the company had been hard hit. He now says he cannot tell how much was taken. To representative of the Associated Press, Frier said:
 q was busy and thought we had stopped on account of a breakdown I heard no voices. When the knock came, I supposed it was a brakeman and opened the door, then I was help less. The robbers threw my shotgun out of the car and broke it to pieces They certainly knew their business and were very polite, but it would moi have been safe to have resisted them.
 The amount secured foots up 2,5O( in cash and may reach $3,000.

THE TOWN OF JEROME.

Jerome is a typical mining camp and has a most picturesque appear ance. It overlooks the Verde valley and but faint conception can be given of the picture presented. It is by no means boom camp. It has not had the mushroom growth of most mining camps. For years mining has been going on in this section, but the first noticeable impetus was given when w. A. Clark became possessor of the United Verde mine in 1888. Since that time the town has steadily grown until the population is today between 1,5Q0 and 2,000. Of this number over 800 are on the payroll of the mining company.
 The town lies on the side of hill and steep one at that. The principal business street, however, is compara- lively level.
 The town can boast of many hand some residences and business blocks, unlike the makeshift buildings of most mining camps. The mining company recently erected several residences on the hill that cost about $3,000 each. These buildings are rented only to en- ployes of the company at very reas- enable price, These houses are light ed by electricity and have many other conveniences that are not usually found in mining camps. The company will shortly erect several more resi- dences for the accommodation of it's employees The company has contrib uted largely to everything that has benefited the town, although not obliged to do so.
 Jerome is lighted by incandescent lamps, the power being furnished by plant in the smelter. Another pleas ing feature is the water supply. The water is piped from a spring about
