GOING IN lard FOR BEE SUGAR.
Iowa Enthusiasts Exploit the Indus
try ThnromghIN in Prospect.

try Thoroughly In Prospect.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, March 29.-(Special.)
Beet sugar discussion has taken a firm
hold on the people of Iowa, and four factories
are now talked of. John S. Emery of Des
Moines, one of the leading merchants of
that city, is the leading spirit in the move
ment, and 1t is probable that he will have
the assistance of a number of capitalists in
the state. The intention at the present time
is to construct one factory at Des Moines
with a daily capacity of 1000 tons, and
three other factories at Ames, Waterloo and
Clinton, each with a capacity of 500 tons.
1t is proposed to make tie enterprise state
wide, and each county in the state will be
asked to furnish a certain percentage of
acreage.
Mr.. Emery says that any soil that will
grow good corn will grow good sugar beets.
The tests which have been made at the state
agricultural college at Ames for the past
ten years under the direction of Profs. VIII
son and Curtiss have demonstrated beyond
a doubt that the soil of Iowa is peculiarly
adapted to the culture of the beet. Mr..
Emery believes that the time has now ar
rived when the Iowa farmer should turn from
the production of corn and other products
of the farm to the culture of the sugar beet.
Arrangements have been made with Mr..
Human of Grand Rapids, Mich. an ex-
perienced sugar beet raiser, who will lease
fifty acres of land in the vicinity of Des
Moines In from five to twenty acre tracts,
and the culture of beets. These
tracts will include the five soils of the state.
This is done for the purpose of furthering
the tests already made on the state agri-
cultural farm, and for the further purpose
Of conducting a sort of school of instruction
for the farmers h will Engage in the beet
sugar culture. The five soils of the state
are: The timber soil, with clay sub-soil; the
prairie loan, with clay sub-soil; the river
bottom land, with sandy sub-soil; the sandy
soil, with sandy sub-soil, and the high
prairie land. The first named is the best
adapted to the culture Of the beet, while the
high prairie land is the poorest for the
raising of beets. All of these soils are to be
found on the state agricultural farm, and
experiments have been made on all of them.
The different counties will be asked to guar
antee the following acreage:

FIGURES on THE WHEAT CROP.
Agricultural Department Report to
nC IssMnI in IL EcN DnNs.

he Issued i'm u Few Days.
Washington special says: The Worlds wheat
crop for 1896 is 2,42S, 1893, 900 bushels. This
fact will be officially announced by the secre-
tary of agriculture in a report to be issued
this week.
This important report will also cover the
quality and distribution of the corn, wheat
and oats growth in the United States during
the past year.
Although the total wheat crop is lis, 000,-
600 bushels less than in 1895, it is larger
than earlier estimates indicated. This is
bushels in European Russia, as shown in the
final estimate of the central statistical
bureau over the November estimate of the
minister of agriculture of that country. The
crop for 1896 is the smallest for six years.
The figures given by the Agricultural depart
ment IN these tables are official wherever
available. Regarding the distribution of the
wheat crop of the United States for 1896, the
report will state:
1.-The increase IN price which began in the
fall of 1896 so stimulated sales that many
parts of the country are now left with only
sufficient for seed. All sections report an
exceptionally small percentage on hand, the
general average being 20.6, against 26.3 last
year, and showing but SIS, 900, 600 bushels in
farmers hands March l. Unusually little of
the crcp of 1895 remains-but 8 per cent,
against Al per cent of the 1894 crop so held
a year ago. A larger proportion than usual
must be retained for home consumption.
The average percentage SO retained is As,
against 41.5 last year, when the inducements
to export were weaker"

Arrested on Two Charges.

Charles Wolf was arrested yesterday upon
two warrants. The first was sworn out OF
the superior court and charged him with dis
turbing the peace and intoxication. The
charge was made by his landlady, Mrs.
Bridget Harrison, who claims that he was
day morning and Wbsn he came home to
dinner his conduct was atrocious, and not
to be tolerated before her family of little
children. He was arrested upon this war
rant, and before he was safely behind the
bars an officer from Justice Veins court APP
peared with a warrant charging him with
assault upon a little girl, Julia Keenan,.
The complaint was made by X. Keenan,, the
parent OF the child. Wolf is alleged to have
assaulted the child in a ferocious manner
and to have broken her collar bone. Wolfe
has been engaged on the street during a
great part of the winter.

CASES IN The FEDERAL COURT.
EdgingtOn Tells His story in n Frank
and Candid Manner.

Testimony in the Edgington case was not
concluded in the district court yesterday ac-
cording to anticipations. The greater part of
today was consumed in taking testimony.
The defendant was on the stand all after
noon. The direct examination was con-
cluded and the cross-questioning begun when
court adjourned. Edgington made a good
witness for himself, and told the story of
the mistakes he had made in connection
with the application for his mothers pen
sion in a straightforward manner that had
an appreciable effect upon the jury.
Judge Woolson devoted the forenoon to
passing sentence upon the federal prisoners
who had pleaded guilty. These were all
men who had become entangled in the fed
eral revenue laws. All pleaded guilty in the
hope that such action would mitigate the
severity of their sentences. The men SEN
fenced yesterday were: Mike Swanson, 5000
fine and 100 days in the Avoca Jail; Benton
Logue, 100 days and $3.50; John Smiley, 100
days in the Pottawattamie Jail and $3.50; w.

Gains II Couple Of Laps in the SiN.
Day Race.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-There was a
good attendance throughout the night to wit
ness the siX-day, go-as-you-please, bicycle
race, which began at 1905 a. m. A sensa-
ton was sprung at 6 o'clock this morning
when Ford made a squirt, gaining n slight
lead. Lawson, the terrible Swede,' flew
after him, and Schoch redoubled his efforts,
Ford was soon passed, but the Swede and
Schoch continued to sprint at the top speed.
Time and time again they passed their com
~petitors, while the shouts of the enthusiastic
spectators could be heard blocks away. Law
son gradually drew away from Schoch, and
at the termination of the squirt was two laps
ahead, having gained one early in the night.
Another lap wGs gained by him at s O'Clock,
when Schoch punctured his tire. The crowd
shouted to Lawson to make a squirt, but the
Swede shook his head and continued at his
usual pace. Muller, at 5:19, dropped out
temporarily, saying it would be necessary
to get come new tires. He expected to start
again at noon today.
Many of the riders stopped for short periods
to rest, but up to IL o'clock Lawson and
Schoch had ridden continuously, except
when the latter changed wheels. Lawson
was a favorite with the crowd, owing to
his appearance of freshness and energy.
At II o'clock Lawson, the leader, was
seventeen miles behind the record. Score at

Behind Locked Doors.
There are prospects that charges will be
preferred against two police officers for neg
lect Of duty. On Sunday morning, between
IL and 1 o'clock, the officers noticed two
young girls go into a livery stable, and when
they tried the door a few moments later
they found 1t locked. No further effort was
made to investigate, but the officers kept

In the morning they were placed under ar
rest and taken to the police station. At the
station the girls protested that nothing i'm
proper had occurred during their stay. They
were sent to their homes in company OF an
officer and the parents notified of their
escapade.
The men at the stable say the girls re-
quested permission to stay at the barn until
daylight and asked the men to close the door
and bar 1t.

Immediately placing the whole outfit under
arrest declare that their instructions and
the police regulations will not permit them
to enter a public building under such circum-
stances, and they did not do so for fear they
would lay themselves liable to dismissal and
prosecution. They say there have been other
occurrences OF a similar character and that
they have been watching the place closely
for some time. The matter will be inquired
into and the parents OF the girls may be
induced to bring criminal prosecution against
the men.

the stable say the stock was there at 6
o'clock at feeding time, and one OF them
says he saw them as late as midnight. Yes
terday morning a section of the fence was
found to have been broken down and the
animals gone. Baldwin Immediately notified
the police. Baldwin received information
animals had been driven to the South Omaha
market and the police In Omaha and South
Omaha have been asked 10 assist in the

PLANS FOR MANUFACTURING BILL
Senate Committee Meets TOdny-Pro

'hSst'
gram IN Cut and Dried.
DIES MONIES, March 29.-(Special Tele-
gram)-Sessions Of the legislature were
marked by a small attendance today. The
senate passed the railroad control bill sub
stantially as it came from the house, con-
curing in the house amendments r~einstat-
ing the old law in all controverted sections.
The senate made an additional amendment
providing for Furnishing railroad officials
who commit perjury In railroad hearings
before courts. The senate passed the bill
relating to trustees OF state institutions. The
house dealt with a number of bills which
the senate had amended, concurring in some
amendments and appointing conference COM
mittees on others.
The senate committee on suppression of
intemperance will meet Tuesday afternoon,
and II Is now announced on good authority
that 1t Will report a manufacturing bill. The
measure will be made a special order for
an early date In the senate, 1t will differ
considerably from the house bill. but the
tactics which have been decided on seem to
assure it a much better chance of passage
than 1t has been supposed to have. A neat
little parliamentary trick has been arranged
to give the measure a better chance In the
senate. The scheme Is this:
The committee will agree to report a man
ufacturing bill. There are just votes enough
in the committee to do this. The measure
Will be drawn as an amendment to the
lengthy code Dill relating to the liquor laws.
1t must be remembered that all the liquor
laws OF the state are consolidated into one
bill for the purposes of the code revision.
This measure includes the old prohibitory
law, the mulct law, the amendments to the
the mulct law that were adopted by the reg
ular session last winter, and a number Of
amendments that the committee is deter
mined to incorporate at this time. Added
to this will be the manufacturing provision,
which Will be, in bulk and apparent impor-
lance, a comparatively Insignificant feature
of the whole bill.
The minority will report against the in
sertion OF the manufacturing clause, and
the motion Of the antl-manufacturing people
on the floor will be to substitute the minor
iy for the majority report on this section.
In case OF a tie vote, therefore, the minority
report will fail to be substituted; in other
words, twenty-five votes Will be enough to
prevent the bill being changed to an anti
manufacturing measure. while II the manu-
featuring proposition were presented as an
affirmative proposal 1t would require twenty

NO RATE CUTTING IN SIGHT.

pcnr Probnb bic at Present.

CHICAGO, March ga careful canvass
of the western and northwestern roads de-
vclops the fact that there is no demoraliza-
ton in rates. The most imperative orders
have been issued by the executive officers Of
each western line forbidding the cutting or
manipulation of rates. The western trunk
line committee, consisting of the highest
traffic officials of every road which was a
member of the Western association was
called together Immediately after the an
nouncement of the Peckham decision, and
this committee is now fully organized and
will be reinforced and assisted by the board
of arbitration of the association, which will
be organized as bureaus OF statistics and
information.
Every move is being made under the SUI
pervision and direction of the highest legal
advice available, and it seems clear that
rates are going to be fairly maintained with
out contravention of the law as laid down
in tho recent decision.

six votes to pass 1t. After the nSanufactur-
ing section Is discussed and voted on 1t is
expected the vote will be such as to prevent
%oxpunging the section. The prohibltionists
will not be able to defeat the bill as a whole,
which they might be able to do by keeping
1t from getting a constitutional majority Of
twenty-six votes, because all the liquor laws
of the state depend on that vote. The old
law must be repealed and re-enacted in the
course Of code revision. II, therefore, the
trick Of making manufacturing a negative
rather than a positive issue works, the pro-
hibitionists will be compelled to allow the
measure as a whole to pass, or take the
chance OF losing all liquor laws OF the state.
II Is stated by member of the committee
who are very confident Of their ground, that
the committee will agree to the plan, and
that the twenty-five votes are in sight to
prevent adopting the minority report.

The measles epidemic is still giving the
health officers a good deal Of trouble. Nearly
q dozen cases were reported yesterday from
various parts of the city, but the worst
phase of the situation is the outbreak of the
disease In the Christian home. Seven cases
were reported there yesterday, and as there
is material for several hundred more the
outlook for serious trouble for the home
workers is excellent. Only one case was re-
ported to the Board Of Health, which was
sufficient to comply with the state laws.
Tho cases have all been quarantined and the
home people are doing all that is possible
to keep the disease from spreading. The
children are cared for in the hospital build
ing. Among the outside cases reported yes
terday were: Child of the Dillon family,
