REETsuGAR..

Senator Keller is an enthusiast on
the question of profitable beet sugar
culture in Minnesot a, and more par
licularly in that part of it to which
Sank Centre is central. On Saturday
night he brought up with him from st.
Paul Prof. Schroeder, an export from
Germany, who has given the greater
part of his life to the detail work of
raising beets and converting them into
sugar. He delivered an interesting
ldress to gathering of representa-
tive citizens at the City Hall, answer
ing questions fairly enthusiastically.
Suffice it to say, at this time, that the
/ Jest of his remarks were to the effect
that experience proved that fifteen tons
OF beets to the acre, containing fifteen
or more per cent of sugar can be raised
! in Central Minnesota at a cost of from
twenty to thirty dollars per acre, which
| sell to the sugar maker at not less than
| four dollars per ton, net profit OF
thirty dollars per acre. The propO-
sition made was that of 700 acres OF
beets would be, guaranteed by the
| farmers, plant costing 200, 900 for
making them into sugar would be erec-
ted at Sank Centre. Such is briefly
the proposition, and the HERALD is
giving the matter close attention, col
Letting facts and figures which it will
present from time to time, striving to
be conservative and accurate in state
ment.
At this meeting an association was.
formed for the purpose of promoting
beet culture and disseminating reli-
able intirmation, and in every way
assisting the farmer in arriving at
best results. The following are the
officers, all of them public-spirited
men, and deeply interested in agri-
cultural prosperity:
President-W. S. Dean.
Vice presidents Pendergast.
Secretary-B. w. How.
Treasurer-M. F. Woodbury..

SAUK CENTRE is an attractive little
CITY. It's business streets are wide,
and the enterprise of the merchants OBJ
servable in the fine class of buildings
erected and the taste manifested in,dis-
playing goods. The residence prop
erty is of high order, beautiful lawns
and handsome grounds setting off the
comfortable and pretty homes to excel
lent advantage. During the season
Just opening these attractions will be
more noticeable than ever, and the
HERALD merely suggests that more at
tention than usual be given to the
streets themselves. Though work on
the drive ways and several improve
ments in sidewalks is crying need.

What's the matter of Willis How

New Reapportionment scheme.


There is new reapportionment
scheme on foot, appearing in a bill in
troduced by Senator Iltis, providing for
constitutional amendment. 1t allows
one senator to each organized county,
members of the house to be apportioned
according to population, as at present.
:. To get at the profits of the big eleva-
tors and give the state share therein,
Senator French has introduced bill to
provide for 10 per cent gross earnings
tax on all elevators and warehouses,
their business and earnings, along the
right of way of all railroads within the
state.
To Help Out Fusiouists.
By fusion the Democrats and Popu.
lists are practically without standing
under the election law, and would have
to insert the names of their candidates
ON the official ballot by petition. Mr..
Donnelly has therefore introduced a
bill amending the general election law
so as to provide that when two parties
unite ON the same candidates, so that
it is impossible to determine the per
cent of the total vote cast by each, one-
half of the votes SO cast shall be con.
sidered the vote Of each party.

HEARD THE BUGLE CALL.
Charge of Two Old Cavalry Horses
Which Were Ora wing a Street Car.

NEW YORK, June 13.-At long and in
frequent intervals a car drawn by two
horses crawls along Broadway in the north
ern part of the annexed district. 1t is run
simply to hold the franchise. Until yester-
day the history of the two old horses used
there was a secret. They were hauling the
car along past Van Cortlandt Park, where
the troopers of Squadron A were cavorting
through a spirited drill. Suddenly the blast
of bugle was heard and the aged car
horses pricked up their ears. Then came
the buglerS call to charge" In an instant
the horses plunged towards the crowd,
pulled the old car off the track and the
driver over the dashboard. The traces broke
and the team galloped UP 1.-THE road and
dashed upon the parade ground right In the
midst of the troopers. The troops didn
know whether they were being charged by
the enemy or not so they broke ranks and
fled, until the driver came rushing up. Then
the troopers reformed and swept down upon
the car horses and made them prisoners,
and the trip TO the city line was resumed.
The horses had been in the cavalry service.

UNIDENTIFIED SUICIDE.
Body of the Woman Who Shot Her
self in a Church Not Claimed.

NEW YORK, June 13.-No one called at
the morgue to-day to identify the body
of the old woman who shot herself on Sat
urday in the vestbule of Calvary Church.
That fact makes 1t seem likely that she
did not live in New York or its vicinity,
for all the newspapers published long ac-
counts of the suicide. The suicide was
probably sixty years old. She was pleas
ant-faced, and her figure indicated robust
health. Her hands were soft and white,
rot the hands of a woman accustomed to
menial work. The brooch which she
volver with which she shot herself seems
to be the most likely clew. On it We're two
them is of a woman of perhaps fifty and
the other of a girl of perhaps eighteen. The
costumes and the hair dressing are of the
STYLES of thirty or forty years ago.

IMPORTERS. JOBBERS.
IMMIGRATION QUESTIONS.
Organized Labor Asked to Express
Opinions on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-President Com
pers and the other members Of the execu-
tive council of the American Federation Of
Labor have sent greeting on the immi-
grafton question to affiliated unions in order
by this means to obtain the sense of or
ganized labor the immigration question
in it's several phases. The greeting says:
The subject has been divided in such a
manner so that each member may have a
fair opportunity to vote either in favor of
or opposed to the entire subject of mmi-
grafton restriction or upon the measure and
scope of such restriction. OF course those
who are opposed to the restriction of immi-
grafton need give little attention to the
manner by which restriction may be Sc
cured, while those who are favorable to
restriction can fully discuss and decide as
to the forms and measures of restriction.
Following are the questions submitted:
"Ftrst-Does your organization favor
to restrict immigration more than 1t is now
restricted?
"Second-Does your organization favor a
provision in the law guarding against Grim
inal and pauper elements entering into the
United States?
"Third-Should the foreign consular. serv-
ice and our immigration department be in-
trusted with greater powers to enforce
immigration laws?
''Fourth-Should the violation of the alien
contract-labor law by employers be punish
able by Imprisonment?
'Fifth-Should the steamship companies
be held responsible Tor term or years Tor
the character of their passengers?
'Sixth-Should a stricter civil and edu-
cational test be enforced as to qualification
for naturalization?
''Seventh-Should every immigrant be
compelled to declare his intention to be-
come citizen of the United States?
What other provision does your organ
ization favor and suggest if any, to further
the restriction of immigration:

resented at the Nashville convention of the
