BEET SUGAR.
Agricultural Expert Say1or Predicts
Great Things for the Sugar Indus
try in Minnesota. N

Such development Of the best sugar
industry in Minnesota that it will some
day rival the states great flour industry
that is the prediction made by G. F.
saYlor, special agent of the department
Of agriculture, who has charge of the de-
partmcnt's beet sugar investigations
throughout the United States. Mr.. Say
lol, visited the st. Louis Park plant
when it was building; this week he has
examined it in operation. When the
plant was yet it embryo Mr.. saylor knew
that the conditions theoretically favored
the beet sugar industry in this part of
Minnesota; the plant in operation con-
vinces HIM that practice in this case does
not fall short of theory:
Mr.. Saylor dictated the following
statements:
The beet sugar factory at St. Louis
Park is going to demonstrate great deal
for this state. find that they have a
factory there using about $50 tons of
beets per day. Its hackers were unfort-
innate this year in not being able to Sc
cure beets enough to run full cam
paign-meaning by that season of 100
or 1875 days. They were able to secure
this year the planting of only about
1900 acres. III the future they will re-
quire about 5000.
Minnesota has been making some very
thorough tests for several years of the
capability of the state to, raise sugar
beets successfully. AS general state
ment, I may say that these tests have
made a good showing as compared with
the results obtained in Germany and
France and those places in this country
where beets have been workedinto sugar.
There is no doubt that this locality is
in the belt which has better conditions
for raising sugar than any other part of
this country. There is every reason to
believe that the works these people have
started here are the beginning of al in
dustry in this state that will some day
rival the states -four industry. The peo-
pie who are doing the pioneer work
along this line should receive all possible
aid, encouragement and sympathy from
the business men and farmers of the
state.
The industry must necessarily start,
hampered by the fact that very few are
acquainted with it. Technical men must
be called into the business and relied up
on to conduct it,while the proprietors and
others are educated by experience. Other
institutions of like nature, starting in
this state. will be largely benefited by
the experience Of this LEGAL concern.-

these journeys were made by
night and on the state side of the
line; because it was allowed that

known to be on this side.
On one of these trips the police
become apprised of Toms move
ments, and they shadowed him.
They determined to clay" for
him on his way back to the south;
and this had to be done, if at all,
over in the state among the white

he fell in with a man whom he
knew to be a reliable friend of the
Starr boys, and at the same time
wholly unsuspected by the police
of any such odious leaning; on the
contrary he was measurably within
their confidence. This fellow Tom
induced to cultivate a drinking
familiarity with that particular
member of the police force whom,
of all Others. he desired most to
get hold OF, and invite him out
into the darkness of the bushes to
designated spot where the bever-
age could be found in secret keep
ing. This was mission easy to
accomplish; for the fellow loved
liquor dearly and was seldom clear
from under its influence. On ar
irving at the appointed place, as
dark as Erebus, the deluded police
man raised the jug and began TO
drink with avidity, supporting the
vessel with both hands. This was
the supreme moment. Just then
two mighty arms closed around
the mans body from behind and
lifted him clear from the ground.
He struggled nightly, but in the
giant embrace of Tom Starr he
was as helpless as babe. Other
hands defLly suppressed all out
cry; the next moment the poor
fellow found himself firmly bound
upon horse and galloping away
in company with the Starr boys.
But, after all, it seems as if
! Toms trusted confederates in the
lower kingdom of nature were not
always at their post of duty; there
were times, now and then, when
they seem TO have left him to
shift for himself and to meet
emergencies single handed Just
like other men-when there was
no friendly bird or beast or rep
tile at hand to warn him of his
danger.

ing to his own business and closed
his days in peace at a good, ripe,
old age.
While posterity may not feel in
clined to condone the whole of
Toms bad deeds, yet as long as
human nature remains what it is
to-day, the provocations which he
had for embarkihg in a career of
desperadoism, will never fail,
when only considered to protect
his memory against that degree of
obloquy, due to those who wilful-
ly defy the law and go on a race
of crime merely for gain, or base
distinction. Too-QUA-sTEE.

merits of the contest, and the
opinion widely prevailed that the
police were a crowd of armed fell
lows much more SHINING than
sinned against. Their conduct
had been such as to give rise to
much earnest talk among the set
Elements as to the probabilities of
a Cherokee Indian outbreak. Wo-
men and children in general were
in a trembling state of expectancy,
and even men of the best quality
of nerve saw nothing in the mat
ter to sneer at or joke about.
So the police went over to select
their ground. The job was deem
ed to be too delicate to be entrust-
ed to a multiplicity of agencies.
Hence a few select shots only
were detailed to form the ambush.
The highway crossed the channel
of a dry run which, in wet seasons,
formed a torrent down the slope
of a hill to the west. The current,
in the course of years, had brought
down the fragments of the forests
and deposited them in an immense
drift just a few PAGES below the
road, forming not only fine place
for concealment, but a splendid
breastwork against the dangers of
attack. Behind this the party
were squatted in position.
1t was about one O'Clock in the
morning, and the shoes of Tom
horse were heard shifting the
flinty surface of the highway, evil
IDENTIFY nearing the fatal spot.
We have just said that Toms
guardian angels were sometimes
neglectful of their duty and left
him to take his chances like
other men, and it was certainly
seeming so in this case; but the
ways of destiny are incompre-
hensible and it is no use to reason
about them.
Pretty soon Toms body, moving
in the starlight, came exactly In
range. The platoon fired; strange
to say there was only one shot
that took effect either in horse or
