Colorado is the one grand place OF all
others for the successful production of
the sugar beet and the sooner invest
ment people learn this fact the better it
will be for us in securing manufacturing
establishments For many years pasts
in fact since the early introduction of
the sugar beet, it has been noticed that
beets cultivated at certain altitude
above sea level, in diluvisn soil, are
richer and better suited for sugar
extraction than the valley or alluvian
solid. Experiments of DR.. Hanaman de
Lobositz, and others have demonstrated
this fact beyond cavil, the argument
being that the roots thus have more air
more direct suns rays, and furthermore
do not absorb the same percentage of
those mineral elements which subse-
quenlly become difficult to handle in
beet-sugar extraction.-Denver Field

The lady who lives at the family hotel

there save hers. Suddenly she was

Then in a clear, bird-like voice she
called:

"It's Johnnie" said a voice.
Johnnie was the sad-faced boy with

In the forward march of science, ma
ture S methods are being closely inflicted
in the laboratories of the synthct.cal
chemist who has already been able TO
make an artificial quinine which con
tains most of the therapeutical proper
ties of the real article. Two German
chemists working in Berlin have Just
produced an artificially prepared caf-
feline, the alkaloid to which both tea
and coffee owe their refreshing stimu-
lating and analgesic properties.
AS may be readily imagined, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the process by
which this has been done is exceedingly
elaborate and costly, but the discover
ers are not without hope that they will
be able to simplify and cheaper it SO ms
to bring il within the region of practical
economics, as has been done with many
of the coa1-tar preparations which,
though now exceedingly cheap, were
very expensive when first produced.
Should the anticipations of these two
gentlemen be realized a cup of tea or
coffee will resolve itself into a question
of minute pellets; one of the alkaIold,
one Of saccharinc, and one of highly
concentrated milk, which will only
need to be put into a cup of boiling
water to be an efficient substitute for
the real article.

DEATH OF MRS. B. E. LEONARD.
1t Occurred at Her Home on Jefferson
Avenue Yesterday Afternoon.

Mrs r. T.. Leonard died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at the family res
idence, 127 jefferson avenue. The i'm
mediate cause of death was heart fall
ure. DR.. John Burnett, the family ply
sician, had called to see Mrs. Leonard,
who, while not seriously Ill, had been
unwell for some time. As DR.. Burnett
was leaving Mrs. Leonard complained
of a severe pain in the back of her
head The doctor was called back, and
he prescribed for his suffering patient.
DR.. J. +. O'Brien was also hastily sum
moned, but the ministrations of medi-
cal science produced no relief. Mrs.
Leonard lapsed quickly into an uncon-
scious condition, and inside of a half
hour from the beginning Of the at
tack. she was dead
The suddenness and the awfulness Of
the shock may be gathered from the
fact that she had been shopping during
the day, and up to the moment of her
seizure, had given absolutely no evil
dence Of an affection from which Sc
rious consequences might have been
expected by her family. Two members
of the family, Miss Male and Frank.
were in New York and were appraised
Of the death by telegraph.
The simplicity and directness of Mrs.
Leonard's life make unnecessary any
profuse or extended eulogy. Anything
approaching ostentation was so foreign
to her nature while living that to call
1t into use now would be both incon-
gruous aud unworthy.
Mrs. Leonard was a member of the
charitable society Of st. Vincent De
Paul in which society she was prom
inent factor. Her private dispensations
of charity were also many and well
hidden from the public eye. .s'
She was born in Waymart, Wayne
county, this state, and she has lived
in Scranton from childhood. Her hus-
band and seven children, Anna, Eliza
beth, Maie, Francis, Joseph, Ambrose
and Wallace, survive. No arrange
ments concerning the funeral cere-
monies have yet been made.

The story telegraphed from Syracuse
last night that the Eastern league base
ball franchises Of Scranton and Wilkes
Barre were to be transferred To New
ark and Rochester is untrue.
An option on the Scranton club mas
been given to the promoters of the
local stock company and will be def
nitely settled in a few days. 1t Is
probable that Mr.. Brooks, and posi-
bly, Mr. Simpson, the two active spir-
its os the present ownership would be-
come interested in the stock organiza-
ton and that the former would be its
president.
The Tribune received reliable infor-
nation from Wilkes-B Barre last night
that the Wilkes Barre owners propose
to stick, consequently the story of the
transfer Of these two cities to New
ark and Rochester can be founded ON
nothing more than the wish of GER
tain faction to see the thng brought
about.
There Is no doubt that there Is sem
tirnent in the league against Wilkes
Barre and Scranton. Both have paid
poor returns to visiting clubs, the for-
mer city in particular, and Scranton is
on the blacklist because there was
rumor that the club would disband in
the midst of last season and because
it would not play Sunday games
CAN DEFY THE LEAGUE.
However, now that Wilkes Barre
PROPOSES to stay and if the Scranton
stock deal materializes the two can
defy the league and not be dumped on
to cold world The only way the
league can he rid of the two cities
without the lattcrs consent is to dis
band and that would throw the rlay-
ers of eight clubs on the market,
contingency which isn't apt to arise.
G.. S. Fowler, who heads the stock
company movement, is not at all
doubtful as to success. The Scranton
owners are willing to wait until the
beginning Of the coming season for the
final payment on the franchise which
would he sold for a sum not far from
50, 500.
Those who favor Mr.. F'owlers plan
are representative business and pro-
fessonal men who are admirers of the
game. They have expressed their un-
willingness to subscribe unless with
the assurance that Mr. Brooks would
consent to assume the active r.anage-
ment of the organization. This situa-
tion has been made known to him and
it is likely that he would dc1ulescc if
his duties involved nothing more tl.ah
a general supervision au1 direction of
the clubs affairs.
Manager Griffin consulted yesterday
with Mr.. Fowler and both seem hope
full that a definite auh favorable con-
clusion as to the stock compauy plan
of 80 shares at 800 each VIII be reach
ed before the end of the week.

three filed, one from this city. one from
