OF other western states with the idea
of investigating the conditions for
growing sugar beets. During the past
season he has sent the seed of the
sugar beet to $4,000 farmers. The ma
jority OF them are now growing the
vegetables. The valleys of the west
are we'll adapted to raising them, and
il is his opinion that this industry will
deal a severe blow to the sugar trust.
He has received a number of letters
from those interested in cornering
sugar, asking him what he would do
in the matter OF sugar beets. He said:
II failed to reply TO any Of them. At

ing shall be submitted to the commits
sion. If the decision rendered by the
commission is not satisfactory, an ap-
peal to a board of arbitrator can he
taken. The agreement should then be

Der of signers in time TO call them to-
gether some time within the present
month TO perfect arrangements to carry
it into effect. A meeting before the last

pare for the joint meeting OF the min
eTs and operators TO agree upon a wage
scale TO go into effect with the uni

JAPAN EMBARRASSED.
No Funds With Which to Meet Neces-
sarY Expenditures.

Tacoma. Wash, Aug. 1.-The steam
er Olympia, from the orient, brings
news that the Japanese government is
seriously embarrassed financially, ow-
ing to the rapid pace at which the ma
ton has been going since the war with
China. Civilization has necessitated
increased expenditures in every direc-
ton, particularly in building railroads,
telegraph lines, new government build
ings. improved harbors and strength
ening the army and navy. The treas
ury was not directly benefited by the
big war indemnity paid by China, be-
cause it has been kept in England to
pay for new warships and armament
Owing to the increased expenditures
during the past year, all the govern
ment'S reserve funds are exhausted.
The Russian government has deter
mined to keep open during the winter
the harbor of Vladivostock, Siberia
the terminus of the Trans Siberian rail-
way. This harbor is closed by ice from
November till May, but the govern
ment has sent to Vladivostock two
immense ice crushing steamers, like
those used in keeping communication
open between Denmark and Sweden.
There is great need of rain in Corea,
and the government has sent priests
to the mountains to petition the gods
for showers. 1t is certain large i'm
portations of grain will be necessary
while usually Corea exports to Japan
and China.

miners of Davies. Pike and Gibson
counties have taken the marching
fever. and today a movement began in
which they viii attempt to close every

miners. They invaded Pike county to-
day and have closed the mine at

carriage and ran into a house. Men
pounded the brutes on the head with
clubs and stones, but were unable to
separate them They ran against the
hearse and almost upset it. All the
mourners and people on the streets
were panic stricken and several of
them had narrow escapes from being
trampled to death. A number of men
then made rush on the animals and
they were finally driven away. The
mourners re-entered their carriages
and the procession was resumed.

SITUATION AT scoTTDALE.
There May Be Trouble When the
New Men Arrive.

Scottdale, Pa, Aug. 3.-The strike
situation at the Scottdale Iron and
Steel company's plant is unchanged.
No new men have been brought in since
Saturday. 1t is said that an agent of
the company left for the east this
morning TO engage new men, and as
soon as they commence to arrive
trouble is looked for. Last night the
council empowered the burgess to ar
rest all persons in any way interfering
with the non-union men. 1t is thought
this will have the effect of keeping the
sheriff's deputies out of town and thus
prevent a conflict between the borough
officers and the sheriff.
A report that number of persons
had secured a cannon and had planted
i on the hill which overlooks the mills,
caused considerable uneasiness in the
mill last night, but those in charge of
the cannon say it was not taken out
last night. Sheet mills are in opera
tion, but how much or what kind of
work is being done could not be learned
from the officials Of the mill. The
strikers who have been on picket duty
say that very little marketable iron is
being, made.

Chicago Chronicles: Charles Schup-
pei, German laborer living on the
north side, lis in several respects one
of the queerest and rarest of freaks.
Nfture took unusual liberties with
Sc.Iuppel and played seldom pranks on
him. Evidently she was in a happy
mood the day she played with the for
eigner, for, despite the oddly. of her
antics, SchupDel suffers no evil effects
from them.
Nearly all of the Germans vital or
Sans are entirely out. of their proper
place and always have been. The
heart, instead of being on the left side
OF the body is on the right, and the
side, is on the left. The position of
the stomach is the reverse of that in
which it is ordinarily found
So far no one has been able to offer
the least explanation of the remarkable
case. Those most conversant with it
say that there is no explanation, as it
is simply an inexplicable freak in ma
ture. AS the man suffers no pain, sick
ness or inconvenience from the peculiar
location of his vital organs, there is
no necessity for surgical operation
or any medical treatment whatever
DR.. H. J. Haiselden of AIS Belden
avenue has given employment to
Schuppel in order that he may conduct
a thorough examination of the case.
Under the supervision of DR.. Haiselden
the X-ray was made use of and by its
means the organs were found to be in
the unnatural position as stated above
1t is seldom the pulsation Of the
heart of anyone can be detected by any
movement of the chest wall distin-
guishable by the eye. In the case of
Schuppel the beat Of the heart is so
powerful or else that organ is so close
to the ribs that the throb is easily de-
tected by pronounced movement on
the surface of the body between the
fifth and sixth ribs on the right breast

New York, Aug. A special to the

ton, requiring the immediate payment

While no threat of coercion is made
in case of refusal, the note makes the
statement that any further delay on
the part of Peru to close the incident
will be considered as Injurious TO the
cordial relations existing between the
two governments.
The Peruvian minister has cabled the
note to Lima, and is now awaiting in
structions from his government.
1t is said that the Peruvian govern
ment will try TO obtain further consid
Grafton of the case. but such an at
tempt will not meet with success. The
state department has informed Peru
that her liability is unquestioned ex-
ceot by herself and that this govern
ment will not consent to further dis
cussion of the matter.

Huns Beat an italian to Death and
Defy the Sheriff.

Wheeling, W. Va. Aug. S.--At Cor
nth, w Va. at o'clock tonight, Jo-
serh Giassani, an Italian coal miner,
was beaten so badly by a gang of
strikers that he cannot live until morn
ing, and four of his fellow countrymen
were severely nlaltreated. Giassani
was knocked down and all the Hungar-
ians devoted their attention to him,
after four OF the Italians escaped with
severe but not dangerous wounds.
Giassari's skull was crushed, an arm
and half dozen ribs broken, while his
legs, body, mead and arms are masses
of bruises and cuts. Sheriff Wilson
went TO the scene late tonight, but the
Hungarians defed him and his two
deputies. Tonight the Huns crossed the
lire into Maryland. They threaten to
kill any man who enters the mines of
the Oakland Coal and Coke company.

OUT ON THE LAKE.
State Land Board Become Mariners
and Take a Trip.

Last evening the inhabitants along the
lake shore above Bountiful were scared
into something like fits by the sounds OF
music emanating from the large COB OF
gloom which hangs over the waters be-
tween that place and Antelope island.
'.Earboard Watch, Alloy" "A Life On
the Ocean Wave The Sailors Wife
the Sailors Star Shall Be" and other nau-
teal songs were heard from dusk until
bedtime.
There were rumors that the crew of a
vessel long since gone down was cO3sting
around like the crew of the Flying Dutch
man. trying to round a cape which they
could not see. and others said it was the
wraiths of a boat of SpaniardS who went
down in the Driny waters about the time
Escaiante came through Utah
But II WASH l.. 1t was just the members
of the state land board, and the music
emanated from Fisher Harris, who burst
into song just after the keel grated in
getting off shore. He was assisted ~
Walton in his rich bass.
The board is going over there TO aD-
praise lands and-well let that pass. Sus
pose they do find chicken or two.
The board held a meeting yesterday. at
which the matter of preference rights ar
ter July ! came up, and decided. alter
much talk. that the law was mandatory.
Hence preference rights after July l will
have to be settled in court.
After arriving at that conclusion, the
board decided 1t needed rest and took it
by going over to the island. 1t will re-
turn as soon as the wind changes.
