The Coloradoan Saved the Kansas
Free-SoilerS

There were thrilling deeds, daring ad-
treachery in Kansas. Once the free
soilers were beleaguered at Lawrence
by an overwhelming force of maraudefs
from across the river, with battle, mur-
der and sudden death in their eyes, A
few miles away force of United States
troops lay encamped, but the Missouri
ans had drawn their lines so tightly that
it was as much as free soiler's life was
worth to try to reach them. Was there
man in Lawrence brave enough to take
the risk? The besiegers rarely threw
away a cartridge; their aim was sure
their fingers quick on the trigger. Yet
as night fell and people thought of what
the morning might bring, Vermont boy
said he would take his chances. The
swiftest and strongest horse in the place
Mas saddled; the boy gripped him with
lis knees, swung his quirt in his hand
and, commencing his old father to his
friends if he fell, dashed out into the
dark. Lawrence listened to the c!atter
of his horses hoofs, to the steady gallop
into which the animals pace settled
down, to the crack of an outpost rifle
followed by volley aimed not at the
rider, for they could not see him, but al
the sound Of the furious rush; and then
the firing died out, and Lawrence knew
from the faint reverberation of the dis
tant hoof beats that the daring rider had
got through the lines, and the city was
saved.
The young mans name was H. A. w.
Tabor, and he lived to be United States
Senator from Colorado for brief term.
Many years ago he told me the story in
confidence. 1 think l am justified in
breaking faith, now that the old man
is broken, houseless bankrupt who at
this time .sorely needs friend.--Leslie's

vice of electrical experts. who represent
that the greater use of electrical traction
in the United States has brought its manu-
facture to higher degree Of perfection
and made it far less expensive than 1t is
in England. Lord George Hamilton, Sec
rectary of state for India, in reply to a
question in the British house of commons
the same day, why the East India railway,
! owned by the government, had purchased
770S tons of rails from the Maryland Steel
company of Baltimore, said the lowest
British bid was 2S675 higher than the

Consul Muth of Magdeburg, Germany,
has sent report to the state department
lconcerning sites for beet sugar factories
The report is considered especially inter-
esting at this time on account of the pros
poets of increased beetsugar production
in this country. The consul says: Fac
tories should be erected only in localities
where ii has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that sugar beets can be grown sue
cessfully. Experience has shown that the
sugar beet grows in almost any soil, pro-
vided the proper fertilizer Is applied. A
rich, deep SOIL with porous, well-drained
subsoil should be selected. 1t is not neces-
sary to plant large areas; small patches
here and there will answer for expert
mental purposes, anu III lHlS way a large
district can be covered without obtaining
an accumulation of beets. The factory
must be easily accessible to the farmers,
and should, therefore, be situated in the
heart of the district from which it draws
its beets. All material needed in the manu-
facture should either be close at hand or
easily procurable. Besides beets, the prin-
cipal materials NEEDED to run sugar fac
tory are water, fuel and limestone water
70 nd 70 ~
publication of the beet juices. In Ger
many beet sugar factories principally
manufacture raw sugar to be sold to the
refneries. From the nature of the sugar
industry in the United States the beet
sugar factories probably will find it more
advantageous to manufacture granulated
sugar and sell 1t for direct consumption.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Aug. ia decline of cent
per bushel inaugurated the days business
in wheat September, which closed yester-
day worth S51a, started at from S45s6S41z. 1t
gradually improved to S5 and fell Off again
to S41a, and for over an hour kept fiuctuat-
ing between those figures. December was
somewhat steadier after that confusion of
opening and then narrowed it's discount
from September for a time. The Liver
pool market at the opening was only hlssd
higher than it closed yesterday, which in
comparison with YESTERDAYS 2h cents ad-
vance here was great disappointment and
its effect on the market was very appar-
ent. In addition to the unsatisfactory ad-
vance at Liverpool, the receipts at Chi
cago substantially confirmed the increased
movement that yesterdays estimate fore
shadowed. The number of cars inspected
into store was 4S2, compared with 240 a
year ago. OF this number 1898 were new
wheat. The out-inspection was 172.0 900 BUSH
els. Bradstreet's reported an increase of
$50, 900 bushels in the worlds visible, COM
pared with decrease of 516,00 bushels the
year before. The market had been hold
ing very steady between S4aidS5 for Sep
tember until the receipt of the report, but
became weak Immediately after and de-
clined to S4 New business from the out
side was small, and what there was of
1t was chiefly for December delivery.
Trading in September was generally in the
way of settling up outstanding contracts.
Cudahy's buying of December was quite
conspicuous. That operator was said to
have received very discouraging news re-
garding the prospects for spring wheat.
Seaboard advices were in continuance of
what has been their regular drift for some-
time concerning the excellent demand
from exporters. Long wheat began to
come out in the last hour of the session,
but it did not look like any of the larger
lines, in fact the market was too small
to have taken any considerable quantity
without quite a severe shock. Septem-
ber gradually declined to S3h. but had
recovered to SS5sGS3% at the close. Corn
was weak from the start, losing "a during
the first hours business and recovering
but little of the decline Crop reports were
of the most favorable character Liquida-
tion was quite heavy. especially by ele-
vator people. who reported free acceptances
of country offerings. Nothing of particular
interest developed in oats. The market
was fairly active, though the range of
prices was unusually narrow. There was
an inclination to yield with corn for a
time. but the good export demand checked
it. Quite an active business was done
in provisions. During the first hour the
influence of lower yard prices was felt,
but the market suddenly turned strong
on the buying of big line of pork credited
to Armour, and although some of the
advance was subsequently lost. the market
remained strong to the close.
The leading futures closed as follows:
