from his home in Havre when he was a
little boy of Ii. He has just been left

A man was taken 70 the lawyers
Office about nine months ago % be ex-
amined as witness in an assault case
that was then pending and in which the
lawyer was counsel. In the coarse oi
the examination these alleged facts were
brought out:
The man was Jacob Loesing, better
known among habitues of cheap lodg-
ing houses as "Jakey." He was born
in Havre of German parents, both Of

reached the age Of years. His uncle,
who conducted large flour business AT

to boarding school. This uncle, by the
way, was an old bachelor, without
other relatives than little Jacob, and
by rigid economy had accumulated a
snug fortune.
When the boy was is years old, he
ran away from school, went to Paris,
mastered the English language, earned
a little money, made his way to Liver
pool and came 10 this country Oh cat
tie steamer.
All this Jacob told the lawyer. The
latter at first did not place much conf
dence i'll the mans story, but after Civ
ing it careful consideration for months

truth in it. So he wrote to counselor
at Havre and received Il reply that ia
cob's rich uncle-unnamed, by the way
had died several months ago, leaving
an estate valued at x3S, 900. 1t was only
necessary for Loesing to go there and
prove his identity and the property
would be turned over to him. What
ever money he needed for expenses
would be advanced, but Loesing cannot
be found. He stopped at an Eighth ave-
nue. lodging house three weeks ago, it is

BUSY WITH BEET SUGAR.
Wisconsin Has Taken Up the Industry Ii
Earnest.


The beet sugar industry has been
started in earnest in Wisconsin. The
plant at Menomonee Falls is now turn
ing out the product in fairly large
quantities, having successfully passed
the experimental stage.
1t represents an investment of $500,
900 and has IA capacity of disposing of
275 tons Of beets every "a hours. An es-
tablishment of this kind cannot fail to
be of great benefit to the neighborhood
Practically all the material it uses is
grown in the immediate vicinity, and
nearly all the money it spends in con-
Quoting the business stays in this one
locality.
1t furnishes employment to men,
women and children in the fields raising
the beets and employment to hundreds
Of others in the factory, where the beets
are converted into sugar
There ought to be 100 of these con-
Germs i'll Wisconsin, and there ought to
be hundreds of other factories erected
in the other states which are in the sug-
AZ beet region, such as Michigan, north
ern Illinois, Iowa, southern Minnesota,
parts Of Kansas and Nebraska and the
rest in the far west. Chicago Tribune.

A SHOWER OF SNAKES.
It Fell Upon . Citizen In . New York
ThorouKhfare.


Richard f. White, an electrician,
lives at Busse's hotel, at 100 and 1871
West Twenty fourth street. New York.
He went across the street at half past
O'Clock ono morning recently to pur-
chase some straw berries. Showers were
falling, and Mr. White thought that it
would be possible for him to get back
between the downfalls. He was half
way across the street when there came
rushing as Of many waters, aud a
shower seemed TO burst over his head.
He says that he felt light touch
upon his hat brim, as though finger
had gently tapped it and vanished. A
wriggling, squirming thing shot over
the edge Of his hat brim and fell upon
the asphalt sidewalk.
Mr. White stopped in the shower aud
looked at the thing he saw before him.
Whats that?" he inquired.
He bent over at the thing upon the
pavement and then pressed his fists into
his oyeballs. He was sure that he was
sober. for not for long while now has
he known the taste of liquor.
The thing was snake.
Then there came four distinct flashes
upon the pavement, and four more bod
les Of snakes uncurled their lengths be-
fore his very eyes. There were five
snakes upon the pavement. -Four were
water snakes and the fifth seemed to be
Of The variety commonly known as house
snakes. Mr.. White solemnly AYERS that
the reptile was raising itself and view
ing him with its small eyes He didn't
know what kind of a snake it was. He
promptly stepped on it,
y grocery man came along and seized
one of the snakes by the tail and bore it
off in triumph. a newsboy got another.
Mr.. White gathered up the others and
went back to the hotel. A complete
search Of the neighborbood was made
afterward by the small boys. No more
snakes could be found. The wind was
blowing from New Jersey at the time of
the fall.
In the country the fall Of snakes and
frogs during the progress of heavy
shower is not considered rare phe-
nomenon. These reptiles were probably
taken up in waterspout or carried
away by "A heavy wind blowing over

SEYEH LIKES TO KISS.
He May Make His Penchant Popular In
His Native Land.

Ills Native Land.
Seyeh, the S-year-old son of Yang
Yu, the retiring Chinese minister, has
been under the tutorage Of Miss Ham
ner for the past year or two and has
made fine progress in learning not only
English, but also our ways and man
ners. He is naturally very bright boy
and has the Unborn Chinese idea of po-
hteness and courtesy.
He was devoted to his school, and
when Miss Hammer found that Mr..
Yang Yu was to be transferred she told
Seyeh that she would give him fare
we'll party, and accordingly invited his
own two sisters and eight other little
girls and gave them the most delightful
children's party imaginable.
Seyeh felt the full Importance of his
position as guest Of honor and devoted
himself most gallantly all of the after
noon in entertaining his small lady
friends, and when it came time to go he
put his arms around each one and gave
her resounding American kiss in bid
ding her goodby.
Evidently he related the circumstance
at home, for the next morning he came
back to school almost i'll tears. "Miss
Sallyah, said he earnestly to his teach
er, "Seyeh is no going to be Chinese
Seyeh want to be 'Merican. Chinese no
kiss, 10 kiss at all, and Seyeh is going
to cut off his cue and be Chinese no
longer, for Chinese no kiss, and Seyeh
he like to kiss
Perhaps Seyeh may go back to his
own country some day and do some
missionary work in this direction. -

all indications now point to the success

list reported was made up largely Of res

ceiyed from the nonresident owners
show that they warmly advocate the
scheme, and number OF them have al
ready signed their contracts. The deal

to the valley and the state. Tbs pro-
posed system OF reservoirs will do more
70 interest the people OF the state and
their legislators in the question OF the
storage Of the waste waters ot the noun

There Is plenty OF water in this state, IL
properly handled, to turn all the arid

But in order TO do this great storage
systems must be established, and these
require an immense outlay OF capital.
The Great Plans Water Storage Com

have chosen the great north side canal
as the best field for Development Their
offer is fair one, and OF great advan-
