Tribute to StOcker.

Stocker, living at New Ulm, was killed
by Indians. He left widow and an in
FAINT son, named Robert. The mother
was poor, and afterwards married a man
who was too poor to give the lad, Ro-
bert, an education. But the boy could
not be chained down by poverty. That
which his parents could not give him, he
decided to help himself to. After OBJ
tanning, as best he could, common
school education he went to Mankato, in
his early teens, and applied for admis-
sion to the normal school. He was ad-
mitted. It was then that his trials be-
gan. He was but mere lad but he
must earn money for bread, for lodging,
for books and for clothing. It was one
continual struggle, but he knew but one
word-success. He did chores, such as
saving wood, carrying coal into offices,
and even got up before daylight and
helped scrub out saloons s-anything that
would help him to turn an honest pen
ny. Such boy with such determina-
tion always stands we'll il his studies
and with his teachers. When Robert
was between II and 18, J. B. Wakefield
of this city, who was then congressman
for the second district, gave notice that
on certain day there would be a COM
petitive examination at Mankato for the
admission of the successful candidate to
the United States naval school at Annap-
oils. Robert deci led to enter the con.
test. Mr.. Wakefield, who was in the city
at the time, became interested in the
green, awkward German boy, and, taking
him to his room at the hotel, had long
talk with him. AS result of the exam
ination, Robert Stocker stood first. He
went to Annapolis and withstood the
more critical examination as to both
mental and physical requirements. lie
entered upon his studies. While che
youths of more favorable surroundings
were spending their leisure hours ia soci-
al circles, Robert was ever at his studies.
After four years of study, came the cx-
ANIMATION. Robert Stocker stood at the
head of his class, made up from lads
from every state in the union. He was
then given two years experience in our
battleship, Trenton, to learn practical
navigation. He vas at Samoa during
that awful cyclone. He came back. By
reason Of his ability, be was one OF three.
sent to the school of technology at Paris,
France. At this great school, made up
of scholars from every civilized country,
Robert Stocker stood No. of all for
eign students; he came home and was
put to work in the bureau of naval con-
struction, which calls for the best schol-
ars of our navy. During the past sum-
mer, the perintending constructors
health failed and he was given a four
months leave of absence. Lieutenant
Robert Stocker was put in charge Of the
construction Of one gun boat and three
battleships. The responsibility Of such.
q task may be imagined when We say
that one Of those huge Dattleships cost
about three million, i've hundred thous-
and dollars. Shortly after the return Of

lasted fifteen days-he was promoted

What an object lesson the trials and
trlumphs of Robert Stocker furnishes for
our boys. There is not youth IN our
little city whose lot is harder :han was
the lot of the hero of this sketch. We
nse the word hero, for no other word in
the English language is so appropriate.
And such a hero! Think of the hard
ships that beset him on every hand and
the temptations that surrounded him
among strangers, without the influences
of home, and he put them all behind
him. Think of his sore trials with po-
verify pinching him at every turn, and
then think of his grand victory Though
OF hum BILE birth and an empty purse,
this noble Minnesota boy lifted his head
and started up the ladder of success, USE

shouts: "Come up, boys! There's room
up here for all This place is never
crowded" BLUE Earth City Post.

lie Says TImo has not Isipsned Yet for
Peace Negotiations
MADRID, July 10, p. m.-Marshal
Martinez Campos in the course of m
interview at San sebastin, said 1t was
impossible that negotiations for peace
should be entered upon by the Spanish
and American governments for the rea-
son that the time has not yet ripened
He had always advocated reforms for
Cuba since 1869. but not autonomy.
General Campos denied remark at
trIbuted to him that he was less con-
cerned at the loss OF Admiral Cervera's
squadron than at the position of the
queen regent.
"I believe" he declared, "that Spain
and the monarchy are intimately con-
nected, but am first OF all n Spaniard.
My affection FOR the queen regent Is
great. but my affection for my country
is greater"
impartial says the Carlists are
great source OF anxiety 10 the govern
ment. 1t AYERS that an aide de camp OF
General Maxine Gomez has asserted
that there will be new insurrection in
Cuba against the Americans, "as the
Cubans believe the Americans do not
desire the independence Of the island,
but its submission 20 American rule"

eral Toral. who commands at Santiago
since General Linares was wounded
and stated that he was prepared to sur
render the city. provided is arnF would
be permitted TO capitulate with hon
orr" This, he explained, meant that the
Spanish forces should be unmolested
and go In any direction they wished
with arms and flying their colors.
The letter concluded with the bold
statement that surrender under any
other terms was an impossibility ana
would not be considered.
General Shafter Immediately cabled
the facts to washington and sent to
General Toral refusal OF his proposal
but added that he would communicate
with his government and would extend
the Informal armisttce until Sunday at
noon.
may extend even beyond the time des-
iEnated, as the offer OF General Torai to
surrender on any terms is regarded as
an indication that the Spanish COM
mander has decided upon surrender up
on the best terms obtalnable.
The general condition Of the health OF
the American troops is excellent, but
the water supply is poor and a number
of cases Of malarial fever have develop
ed. No deaths have resulted, however,
and in nearly all the instances the few
er has been broken up by liberal use
of quInine. The hsrdships Of the cam
paIgn and the fears Of possible attacks
OF fever have rio the army In the field
and on the coast Of non-combatants,
with the exception Of few newspaper
correspondents, who have been on the
ground since the American warships
appeared of Santiago and who constl-
tute the only force able to report the
progress OF the war with the assistance
Of the dispatch boat service.
The second fleet OF transports arrived
of Juragua this morning, bearing $500
troops, Including a large detachment OF
artillery. II the peace negotiations fall,
these heavy guns will be most valu-
able addition to the artillery now In the
field, and It is expected that they Will
be pushed forward to the front. The
new troops will be landed tomorrow
and pushed forward Us rapidly as pos
sfbie.
The days OF temporary peace are be-
Ing utilized by both armies In strength
ening their defenses. The Americans
have strongly entrenched themselves
and the artillery now at the front has
been placed in strong position behind
earthworks and will be able to cover
the advance OF the troops much more
effectively than during the previous en-
gagetnent.
The wounded In the hospitals are be-
ing we'll cared for and in almost every
instance are recovering rapidly.

Beet Sugar Industry in Allegheny Valley.

Sugar beet seed has been furnished to
600 farmers In Jefferson. Clarion, Indi-
ana, Armstrong and Wcstmorcland
counties by w II. Stnmey. Esq, Of this
place. special agent. Common land
will pay the farmer 500 to $50 per acre
In this branch Of agriculture. The eli.
mate and soil in the United States are
adapted to growing beets with high
per ccntum of sugar and purity co-elll
cient-superior to Germany, France and
the great west. The beet lands Of Ger
many, which formerly yielded II to II
bushels per acre. now yield 81 to 30
bushels.
Business prospers In localities where
beet sugar industries are located and at
all places where the beets are grown.
It is the purpose of the company TO
erect II factory at a cost of not less than
$30O,0o0 providing the beets grown
this year are sufficiently high in per-
ccntum Of sugar and purity co-ctlcient.
II will require 5000 acres TO supply this
industry which, at low estimate.
should yield 100000 tons of beets. The
farmers in Southern California last year
got over ~ tons per acre and made II
net profit OF from $50 to $50 per acre
The price is based upon the percen-
tum of sucrose in the beets, the mini
mum price being $400 per ton of II per
cent. OF sugar in the beet. which is the
usual percentum in Germany, where
the lands have been farmcd in this in
dustry for $50 years. In this country
the percentum of sugar Is much higher
and for every full per cent. found in the
beet over II per cent. the company will
pay 25 cents per ton additional. BY
rotating the beet crop, which is mature
in five months from date Of planting,
the same as is the custom in wheat and
other cereals, our farmers can grow
beets successfully with healthy effect
on the land and without commercial
| fertilizer at ALL

A decision Of Importance to the livery

A decision Of Importance to the livery
men of Pennsylvania has been handed
down by Judge Orlady, of the superior
court. 1t sustains as constitutional the
act of Assembly of 1887, known as the
livery act, which makes it misdemean-
or, punishable by fine or imprison-
ment, to wilfully damage the property
of a livery keeper. 1t was passed to
cover cases of injury to horse or vehicle
by reckless driving The judges OF five
county courts have decided the act was
unconstitutional. AS result the law
became dead letter. Now that the
superior court sustains it, many cases
are likely to be added to the business OF
the courts. People who drive hired
teams recklessly and iniure them will
have criminal suits entered against
them as of yore.
