not be a recurrence OF the spasms.
Captain Parker has not been we'll
for several days. The first lit came
on shortly after 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning. 1t was sudden, short and Sc
we're. The second paroxysm came about
10:30 last night. This lasted all OF
twenty minutes, during which the life
of the officer was believed by his
friends to be hanging in the balance.
The physician, upon his arrival, re-
Heved the sufferer and he went to
sleep. 1t was not believed at q late
hour that another spell would come
before we'll into today if at all.
Captain Parker is one OF the best
known HaWaiians in the country He
has been a soldier and police OthclaI
recognized at all times for his ability
and courage. He has been a central
figure in several revolutions. In 1889,
during the Wilcox rebellion, he COM
manded the Kings troops and held the
Palace against wilcox and party.
He was made captain of police soon
after the overthrow in 1893 and upon
the retirement of LOrrin A. Andrews,
about year later, was promoted to be
senior captain, position he has since
held.
Captain Parker was in charge OF the
force that discovered the existence Of
the rebellion of January, 1895, and was
at Bertelmann's house during that
evening. He was in the field all that
night and during the ten days exciting
times which followed, and assisted
Marshal Brown, then Deputy Marshal,
in directing the work Of the ponce. For
his fidelity and bravery Captain Park
er was the recipient of many cOmpH-
ments, some Of a substantial char
acter. One was fine gold police cap
tain's badge, set with diamond ana
surmOunted by a gold eagle.
Captain Parker Is a native Of the
island of Hawaii, but has spent most
Of his life in Honolulu. At one time
he was connected with the Iron WORKS.
In the old days he was quite an attn
elete and a noted foot racer, defeating
some of the best sprinters in the coun-
try on kaDiOIani Park track.

BIG REHEARSAL.
Flag Raising Chorus Turned Out
Last Night In Large Force.

There was a rousing meeting of the

last evening. About fifty OF the best
vocalists of the city participated in
the rehearsal Mrs. Cooper sang star

Columbia" At the close Professor
Yarndley called another rehearsal for
next Tuesday night, at which time it
is hoped the attendance Will be even
larger
President Dole was exceedingly anx-
ious to have the new Columbia" sung
at the flag raising, but Professor
Yarndley thinks this Will be quite i'm
possible. 1t is most desirable that
familiar tunes be presented in order
that the whole audience may Join IN
the chOruses. Mrs. Cooper has con-
veyed this impression of the leader to
President Dole with the result that
the piece Will be omitted. 1t Will be
rehearsed by the chorus, however, with
view of presenting it on a future oc-
casiOn. Capt. Berger was musician FOR
the rehearsal.

they will pay 81 per ton for beets de-
livered at the factory.
Prof. Harry Snyder in his paper says:
What is the sugar beet? How does
1t differ from our ordinary garden
beets? Originally the two kinds Of
beets were Identical, but by careful
cultivation and selection of the seed,
the sugar beet has been raised from
its former condition until it now con-
tains from Is to Is per cent sugar. In
p the development Of sugar beet the diff
ferent types have been built UP in the
same general way, by breeding and
selection, as have the different breeds
of cattle. The sugar beet is a type Of
a highly developed plant In order to
conditions must be favorable as to
climate, soil and rainfall"
Prof Snyder then proceeds to recount
the kind of soil and the nature of the
climate necessary to the profitable pro-
duction of beets. In nearly every in
stance the soil and climate of Missouri
exactly corresponds with the most fav-
orable circumstances under which the
beet can be grown. Prof. Snyder says
that medium loan soil is the best
adapted to the crop. Too wet places or
high knobs should never be selected.
A dry fall Is most favorable for ma
turing of the crop. With an abundance
of rain in the fall of the year the
beets do not mature properly. The
rainfall in all parts Of Minnesota is
well suited to the crop. Continuing.
Prof. Snyder says: During the past
eight years the beets grown at the ex-
pertinent station have shown a general
average of 1856 per cent sugar, and
purity coefficient of 1873. BY making
selection of the best beets in a field.
instead of the average beets, it would
have been possible to have obtained
figures at least 5 per cent higher than
those given
Prof. Snyder then gives interesting
data AS to the culture of beets else
where in the state, more especially the
efforts of the Albert Lea Commercial
club, from which some remarkable re-
suits were obtained as to the amount
of beets raised to the acre and the
diminished cost Of production.

as special agent Of the department OF

The pamphlet is of interest to the
farmers of Minnesota from the fact
that there has been a renewed inter

manufacture of sugar Of late. This has
been caused largely by the recent es-
Establishment of beet sugar factory at
St. Louis Park, where a ready market
can be found for the crop. And the
