Sugar From Beets.

No new industry has excited so much
enthusiasm among all classes, as the
probable manufacture of sugar from
beets in our state and even in our own
county. The bill to pay bounty on
beet sugar production before our state
legislature, will, without doubt, be-
come law, and the enterprise will be
begun somewhere in the state.
There is certainly no question about
the practicablity of growing the beets,
with high per cent of sugar, on all
the best corn lands of the state In the
spring of 1890, | distributed quite n
large quantity of sugar beet seed among
the farmers of this vicinity for trial
on our soil The seed was imported
| from France by the authorities at the
Agricultural college and sent to all
parts Of the state with a request that Il
report of cost and amount per acre,
etc, be furnished, with samples of the
beets at maturity, for analysis. There
were good many reports from this
county, with an average product per
acre of eleven tons and IA sugar content
of 14.6l per cent-only nine of the forty
counties reporting showing larger
per cent than this.
To bring the matter down to- par
ticulars, the report of DR.. KedZie, now
before me, shows that G.. Engle and g.
ii. Butler each sent samples of beets
for analysis and made reports of amount
grown and cost per acre. Mr. Engle,
on gravel loan" grew eleven tons
per acre, at cost of $50. 90 per acre,
while Mr.. Butler grew six and one half
tons per acre, on sand" at cost Of
SO As per acre There is this colnpen.
sation, however, for Mr.. Buffers crop
it analysed Is S5 per cent. while Mr..
Engle's showed mp but 1867 per cent.
On the basis of 81 90 per ton of IL per
cent beets, ton of Buffers beets were
worth S6.0i, while Engle's were worth
81 %
TO show what may be done, w. j &.
Newcombe IL Son of this county grew,
on "clay and sand" 6 tons per acre, at
"A cost of So 20 per acre, and a per cent
of sugar of 21.07-the highest per cent
reported in the state-1S. 80 being the
next highest, the sample grown in ST.
Joseph county on SANDY loan"
Large crops of beets, grown on rich
soil, analyze the lowest, and small crops
% to tons per acre, grown on sandy
loan soil, show up the richest in sugar
content.
The constituent elements IN the
structure of sugar beets, show that
they are formed in greater part of car
bon and water-wind and water-and
consequently the draft of fertility from
the soil in their growth, is very light
indeed. There is no soil in the vicinity
of Paw Paw, even that called Eight
sandy SOIL" but will grow profitable
crops of sugar beets. Even though the
gross weight per acre may be small,
the sugar content will be proportion
ately large, and so make up in money
value. No other agricultural crop has
this compensating advantage in so
great degree.
The showing, as outlined in the above
facts, furnishes exceptionally good
grounds for expecting our county to be
in the front, when capital comes seek.

ACCORDING to the populistic press,
the republican party in Ohio was
completely ripped up the back over
the question of Secretary Sherman
successor in the senate of the United
States, and yet Senator Hanna fills
the place and all is serene, not only
with Ohio republicans, but elsewhere,
as we'll. From the same source came
ominous warning OF the antagonism
existing-in the minds of the popu-
lists only-between President Mckin-
ley and Speaker Reed, and doleful
stories were told of the impending
struggle over the speakership be-
tween Mckinley republicans and
anti Mckinley republicans, But now
it is conceded by all that the ''c1ar"
will be reelected speaker without
even a shadow of opposition from his
republican colleagues. There are
no anti mckinley republicans; there
are no anti-Reed republicans, but all
are united in solid phalanx against
the common foe, the hyphenated
populo- iemo-union- free silver COM
bination.

THE silverites are making unheard-
ofefforts to win outin the approaching
township elections. They were so
severely whipped last fall that they
realize their only hope for any re-
spectacle standing in the next gener-
al election is to make good showing
i'm the minor elections of the next two
years. To an extraordinary degree,
political considerations, therefore,
enter into the township elections
this spring. Republicans, stand true
to your colors, vote your ticket
straight, and you will be able to
strike a death blow to the silver
heresy in Van Buren, county and in
the state of Michigan.

Hon. G. &. Phillips, the represent
alive from this county, is an industri-
Gus, painstaking and Woodworking
member and has already taken "a
position of influence amongst his fell
low members. He is accredited with
being able in debate and earnest and
conscientious in everything he adj
vocates. We hear nothing but words
of praise of him, and he promises to
be one of the most useful representa-
tives Van Buren, county has ever had
in the legislature.

THE slow and gradual improve
ment observed for some time has con
tinued during the last week and
without material change. There is a
better demand for most products on
the whole.--Dun's Review of Trade,
March q.
OF all observers of business condl-
tons in this country, Dun's agency is
perhaps the most conservative and
careful, and has at its command facili-
ties that are unexcelled for feeling
the business pulse. There is not the
slightest doubt that prosperity is
gradually returning to us.

JUDGE George l.. Yaple may not
accept the populist-silver-dem
nomination for the supreme court.
He came very near declining to run
when he received notification of the
action Of the convention, but was
prevailed upon 60 delay any announce
ment. 1t is understood now, how
ever, that he is seriously considering
a withdrawal from the ticket. He is
a free silver man, but draws the line
against the free riot planks in the
platform, and says he is not in sym
pathy with the principles injected
into the platform by Altgeld and
Tillman.
The foregoing is the language of a
Grand Rapids dispatch to one of the
state papers. We have heretofore
expressed our sympathy for Judge
Yaple-at his being asked to run for
a judicial position on an anarchistic
platform and, should his courage now
rise to the height of his honest con
vctions, resulting in his refusal of the
nomination, the Northerner stands
ready to commend him and TO con-
graduate him upon maintaining the
honor he has heretofore carried un-
sullied throughout his political career

HE GOT HIS DOSE.

The llama of South America Is an ex pert marksman, though it never uses it's craft in the procurement of it's food. Only when annoyed and angry does it give an exhibition of it's wonderful skill in hitting the object aimed at. The llamas weapon is it's mouth; it's bullet is composed of saliva and chewed hay. Several years ago, at the Fair Grounds in St Louis, I witnessed an exhibition of this creatures powers of expectora- tion in which the victim was country beau, who came very near losing his sweetheart thereby. This young man was one of those self sufficient individ- uals who imagine that knowledge sits enthroned in the temples of their own per sonal intelects; that what they do not know is not worth knowing" He was annoying the llama (the animal stood in the centre of it's pen, probably fifteen feet or more from it's tormentor) by throwing clods of dirt at it and by beating on the rails of the pen with his cane
 I saw by the creatures actions that it was angry; the rapid movements of it's jaw indicated that it was preparing u dlldth llo ptl SGCulOI l WdIiltu lIlC young man, telling him what to expect; lis sweetheart begged him to desist and to come away. But he treated my warn ing with derision, and told the girl that he knew his business" Suddenly there came a whizzing. whistling noise, fol- lowed by sharp pat; the young wiseacre lay supine upon his back with his eyes and forehead plastered with disgusting mixture of saliva, hay, and mucus.
 T hate a fool!" said the girl, as she shouldered her parasol and walked away.
 I saw them again in the monkey house some time afterwards. but the man was a changed being; he had learned his lesson in decorum: he had been taught modesty by the good craftsmanship of llama.-James Weir. jr, in Lippincott's.

THE WALLACE COLLECTION,

The runors which have been in circu-
 laton since the death of Lady Wallace
 will be set at rest by the authoritative
 statement which we make this morn
 ing. The nation receives, by her will,
 the most magnificent bequest of works
 of art ever made in modern times, eith-
 CT in this or in any other country. A
 brief account of some of the chief con-
 tents of Hertford House will show that
 this language is not exaggerated, and
 that whether the experts would value
 the gift at one million or at three, the collection which has now become the
 possession of the British nation is such
 as scarcely any amount of money and time could bring together again.
 By the common consent of connois-
 seurs it is, take it altogether, the finest
 private collection in the world. The Borghese, the Lichtenstein, the Els
 mere, and perhaps one or two of the collections of the Rothschild family may equal or surpass it in pictures alone: three or four houses in Europe may have as much old furniture of the highest class; possibly in Germany or Austria some one might be found with as good armor. But it is the combina- tion of all these things, and of many
 other departments, that makes the Wallace collection unapproachable. We may name few of the principal
 pictures. In our English school the
 works of Reynolds include five of su-
 perlative excellence; the enchanting | half-length of Nelly O'Brien," the
 head and bust of Mrs Braddyl," prob
 ably Sir Joshua's technical masterpiece
 the original Strawberry Girl Miss Bowles," and the famous full-length of
 Mrs. Carnac." By Gainsborough there are the charming little Miss Haverfield," and that supreme picture the ull-length of Mrs Robinson and her Dog" for which fabulous offers | were made when the picture was last shown at the Old Masters. The Span | ish pictures include eleven Murillos some of them master works, and Ve- | lasduez's Lady with the Fan. | Among the Flemish are the Rainbow Landscape of Rubens and the marvel | ous Philip Le Roy and his Wife" by | Van Dyck. Among the Dutch are such Rembrandts as the "Pellicorn and his
 
 i the marvellous Cavalier" by Frans Hals-the picture which first brought back that great painter into fashion; | five Hobbimas. the Demidoff Cuyp, and Metzus celebrated little "Chasseur En- | dormi" Of the late Italian school are seventeen Canalettos, only equalled by | those at Windsor and Woburn and | ten Guards.
 Most wonderful of all is the French | collection. with it's Watteaus large and small (we have no Watteau in the Ma tional Gallery), its Lancrets, and its | Eaters. it's set of splendid staircase | pictures which Boucher painted for Mime. de Pompadour; its twenty-five | Greuzes; and, among the moderns its 1 thirty-four works of Decamps and its 1 fifteen of Meissonier. Add to these l things the extraordinary furniture masterpieces of Boule and Riesener. the 1 clocks literally scores of them-tht | chasings of Gouthiere. including a fa-
 nous set of vases for which a fortune 1 has been offered; the Sevres. of Nhict

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Doubtless the Bassett crossing on the Northampton road will long be remembered by William Connolly, a driver for Malley Neely & Co, for he had narrow escape from death there yesterday noon. He was driving across the tracks with truck loaded with furniture just as the Il :45 ac- comodation train came out of the city bound north. Connolly says he did not hear the whistle and the first thing he knew the train was gliding along behind him. He saw the train, but he thought the truck had cleared the track. The rear end was still in the way of the engine. however. and the cpwcatcher struck the rear wheels and sent the wagon flying over to the side of the road. Connolly was thrown violently from his seat and the horses were thrown down. The train was stopped and the train hands and some of the passengers came back They found that no serious injury was done. however, and went on The wagon was badly smashed, but the horses escaped with ont serious injury and were removed to Howshield's carriage factory. The furn- ture in the wagon was considerably dam aged Connolly escaped with cut lip and several bruises and was able to walk down to the store.
