Prophet Hicks is said to be in cold

how it was that his predictions
Of one of the most severe Decembers
ever known fell SO utterly short Of the
mark. The public was promised all
the old.iashioned blizzards it wanted
and more between the 18th and 30th
Of the month. The evil influence Of
Mars was to be added to the atmos-
phere that would be felt to a tremen-
dous extent.
But the blizzards did not come
Old Mars evil influence did not COM
mote the earth worth a cent. In
stead there came q season OF mild
temperature. Prof. Hicks explains
his bad shot by intimating that the
forces he relied upon to produce a
good old style Christmas got waylaid,
actually resolving themselves into
seismic shocks or earthquakes. 1t is
1t Is true these seismics were not felt
anywhere except in Great Britain and
in few villages on the eastern coast
OF America, but Mr. Hicks considers
the excuse perfectly valid one. He
predicted month of frosts and win
try storms, instead Of which there
came a spring temperature here and
seismic shock about 7,777 miles
away. And he thinks that was near
enough.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
BETS BEAT SORGHUM.
A Business Tip That Applies to
Dickinson.

One Of the things that might give
Dickinson county profitable line Of
industry is sugar beets. Senator
Allen in a recent speech told what is
being done in his state. German
farmers started with cost Of about
$l5 per acre for rent and $l5 for fer
tilizers, and it may be presu med that
the cost to the average European
farmer is about the same, but for all
that, we import German beet sugar
largely, though here land costs little
and we need not fertiize, and we get
a bounty on sugar.
The Pecos river country now lays
claim to producing the richest beets
in this country or any other. They
say their beets will average IS per
cent in sugar, and their contract
price is "a for beets having IA per
cent Of sugar or better, and % cents
less for each point under IA. All the
beets are grown under irrigation and
the yield is large. This is the first
season in the Pecos country, and their
experience doesn't 60 for much.
At Ames, Neb., the cost Of beets de-
livered on board cars for 1898, was
$500 per ton, the cost per acre being
$54, and the yield 10 tons. In 1890
the beets costs $3.50 on board cars,
the cost per acre being $SS, and the
yield l0.1 tons In 1895 we grew a
miscellaneous lot Of beets, none Of
which were sold, the average yield be-
ing 26.6 tons an acre, and cost was
$3.50 a ton delivered to cattle. II is
II little too early to get actual figures
for 1896 but using figures up to date
with estimates for the balance the
cost of sugar beets is estimated at
$3.50 n ton on board cars, the cost
per acre being $50 and the yield 20
tons.
Now in Kansas wo are between the
Pecos country and the Nebraska beet
region. We have soil equal to that
in Nebraska and rather better cli-
mate. There Is no reason why the
business should not do as well here
as farther north.
New York quotations on sugar now
are at the lowest point they have ever
seen and ii is certain that the price Of
beets will not be higher than 81 after
The expected repeal Of the bounty
law. But Senator Allen thinks it
still leaves profit on beet sugar.
This is but one Of the several new
Industries which are practicable and
nay be very profitable.

1t leaves out nearly all local busi-
ness houses and puts the tax on those
in which outsiders are interested.
There are those who argue that the
city might better retain the old tax
with some notifications as 1t made
many pay who otherwise do nothing
to help the city and the leading busi-
ness houses could better afford to pay
their share than to have regular levies
increased, On the whole however the
new ordinance will be generally ap-
proved.
Gan ordinance was introduced to re-
peal the bicycle lamp ordinance which
has not been enforced for many moons
