Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has heen
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clu ches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood lis severest tests, but her vital
organs we've undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She iually discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of US bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was SO much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles, has
been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz.' Thus writes W. c:

THE COMING INDUSTRY
 OF VENTURA COUNTY
BEET SUGAR FACTORY ERECTED
 AT OXNARD.
All the Farmers Are Getting Mag nifcent Returns From Small Acreage Seeded Last
 Season.

c. Leonardt of Los Angeles, now stop ping at the Palace, gives some valuable information in regard to the present status of sugar-beet growing in Ventura County. He Is more especially Interested in the recently completed factory at OK nard. of which he Is one of the con- tractors.
 'The new factory" he said, 'ts both designed and constructed by the Oxnard Construction Company of New York. It is 100 feet in height, over 400 feet long and 120 feet wide. It Is constructed entirely Of brick and steel with expanded metal metal HTe- ire proof floors A large power house, up right and rotary lime k1lnS, four-Stofy brick office building and beet shed cap able of receiving 2OG0 tons of beets, com pose what is in every way, model plant the equal, l believe, Of anything or US kind in either this country or In Europe It cost $1,500,O0O and when running IuLlo ido blast will give employment to about AUD men"
 1How about this seasons crop?" he was
 ''Spiendid, but small In the aggregate I must explain. Owing to the light rain fall of last winter the farmers, generally, were exceedingly apprehensiVe in regard to this seasons crops, and did put nttle planting. The small average which was planted, however, gave magnlhceht re suits proving concluSively that sugar beets do not require as much moisture as most growers believe. In one Instance thirty acres put in by farmer named Rose yielded about thirty tons to the acre, from which he will clear. over and above all expenses of cultivation, nearly 5000. A Carr, who rented 100 acres of good beet land. agreeing to give one quar- ter of his crop to the owner of the land, cleared up as his share $5500. Charles Dunlan also got very large returns from what he planted. These men were all obliged to ship their beets to Chino this year but will in future patroniZe the new plant.
 The beets this year yielded from A to & ton. according to their SacChaT1nH character. There are 900 acres avail able for the cultivation of the beets.
 Now, as perhaps you may imagine, little is thought of but the sugar beet, of which the factory will handle about 100000 tons next season, but every dollar em parked in the industry Is of greater bene- fit to the country than If it were invested in the Philippines or Cuba. l believe in keening money at hOme.'

CONNOLLY BENEFIT.
It Drew a Large Crowd to Union
 Square Hall.

An entertainment was given at Union- square Hall last night under the auspices of Fl Dorado Parlor No. 52 of the Native Sons of the Golden West, the South End Rowing Club and Golden Gate Council No. 34 of the Young Mems Institute, for the benefit of the parents of the late Daniel D. Connolly a popular oarsman and singer Alfred J. Fritz, Democratic nominee for Justice of the Peace, acted as master of ceremonies.
 The programme contained twelve num- bers, but, for the convenience of the per formers, the order of these was some what changed After an overture by Grennan's orchestra the Columbian quar- tet-J. c.

A sailor dance by Miss Ida Bradbury, vocal solo by A F.

The Missing Girl on
 the Walla WaIIa.
A YOUNG FRIEND WITH HER
ON ARRIVAL SHE JOINS A WOMAN AND DISAPPEARS.
Information Given by One of the ngers-Attracted by Her Youth and Strange
 Actions.

At last what seems a definite clew to the whereabouts of Eva Hess, the young girl who so suddenly disappeared from this city short time ago, has been ob- tained. It promises to determine where the girl is either in hiding with her own Yol1tion or being hidden by her abductors
 The information comes from a passen- ger who sailed aboard the Walla Walla on the last trip made by the vessel to British Columbia. He claims that he can positively identify her, as he saw and took especial notice of her. He says that on the day the vessel sailed he noticed the missing girl in company with another girl, also of immature years. He remarked to a number of friends at the time that the girl was unusually young to take such a journey, practically alone and unpro- tected, her only escort apparently being the young girl who accompanied her.
 When asked as to whether an older per son was with her, the informant was at a loss to declare himself positively, as he had seen no other companion except the girl alluded to.
 What attracted the attention Of fellow passengers to the young traveller was that she seemed unusually restless and en- deaVored at every opportunity to inter- mingle with the merrymakers on board the steamer and sing and dance as II she were afraid, or for some other reason dlS- liked to be alone. Her every action was strange in the extreme, and 1t is now
 
 folly after she boarded the steamer or was fearful that some one would recog- nize her and possibly prevent her from landing at Victoria
 From the description given, the girl IS, beyond a doubt Eva Hess.
 As the steamer neared Victoria the informant who furnished the present cleW decided to watch the girl and ascertain where she went after going ashore AS the wharf was approached 1t was noticed that the girl began to scan its entire length evidently eXpectant of gaining sight of some one to whom she had been directed and whom she was to accompany upon leaving the boat ,-,,
 Upon landing she immediately 1olned woman, the same undoubtedly that she was so restless about meeting. soon after she was lost in the crowd to tnose who had been keeping an lnQulsltlVe watch over her.
 At first sight of the woman who met the girl the immediate impression con veyed to the author of the present state ment was that she was in bad company and with a woman from whom she could expect to derive no good, but, on the con- trary. by whom she would be forced to initiate the life which was so legtbly written on. every line of her. escorts face.
 The mother of the girl has placed. her confidence and hope for the recovery or the girl in the hands of Dorn N born, the attoTneys. The police are still searching but blindly and without tangible cle" tO work upon.
