DIED-Near Florenville, La,
Friday. July %, 1899, Camille
Slngletary, widow of the late
Henry Singletary, after long and
severe spell of typhoid malarial
fever.
She leaves seven little orphan
children to mourn her loss, four of
them in a dying condition with the
same fever that called their dear
mother away. They had no one
to look to but their little cousin,
IA years old, Elizabeth Crawford,
who stood over their dying mother
without sleep for several days, and
at the end closed her eyes and
turned to the sick children In bitter
grief, and since then has watched
over them night and day. Now
Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Simpson
have moved them to the Florenville
Church, where they receive the
klndest attention from all the peo-
pie, but their little nurse still sits
over them, night and day, Elizabeth
Crawford, may God bless her.

Beet Sugar.

The Department Of Agricultur,
has published IT. report to Con
gress on the progress Of sugar bee'
culture in the United States. Aftel
giving the data obtained fIom the
various States, ~ to yield. suga,
contents aud other points. the
Secretary Of Agriculture. says re.
garding California:
"The seasonal. and climatic
eifects upon sugar keets are well
illustrated by comparing the dats
from California with that Of Ala
bama. and Arkansas, both south 81
the beet sugar belt. Although the
average size Of the samples from
California was greater than from
the States named, the content Of
sugar was almost double and the
purity III points higher. Further
data are not needed
to determine the suitability Of the
soil and climate to produce sugar
beets Of high grade.
"Further work in that State
should be directed toward delineat-
ing the sreas IN the valleys best
suited to beet culture. Aside from
The important question Of water
supply it has been demonstrated
beyond cavil that California pre-.
rents in every respect favorable
for growing beets equal
% those Of any OF the States Of the
Union and even of any countries of
he world.''

Of prophet to foresee the gradual
shifting OF the business in toto to
this section. A few years ago La
Crosse, Wis.,, was the center OF m
enormous milling industry, princi-
pally in white pine. I was there
the other day, and during my stay
. deal was closed that leaves only
one lumber mill in the city. The
rest have all come South. The
possibilities Of yellow pine are being
better understood every day, and l
see no field in which it cannot take
the place Of white pine with perfect
satisfaction. Immense quantities
Of it are going into the Northwest.
and as far out ~ Minneapolis and
St. Paul It is in great demand for
flooring and finishing. l was talk

A Way Out OF the Diff
Guilty.

Ex-senator John 3. Henderson,
who has been a Republican evel
since chat party was born and who
was a gallant Union soldier during
the civil war, refutes the idea that
the government can not retreat from
its position in the Philippines. He
admits that a serious mistake was
made when, after the. destruction
of the Spanish feet at Manila, the
authorities at Washington tailed
to order Admiral Dewey to Cuba,
that he might assist In carrying out
the instructions of Congress to drive
Spain from Cuba and Cuban
waters. Having, however, COM
mitted the blunder of allowing
Dewey to remain in Asia. Mr..
Henderson believes that the best
way out of the Philippine difficulty
is for US to open negotiations with
the Philippines for Manila as !
naval station and then help them to
establish republic Of their own,
the United States agreeing to pro-
tect them from any interference
with their free institutions, they
70 return to US the $50, 200, 900
Spain received from this govern
lnent on . very detective title to
the islands.
We believe the above views, ex-
dressed by Senator Henderson. will
meet with the approval of large |
majority of the people. 1t has
always been our opinion that when
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet
It Manila, he should have been
to return to America.

1t is said that the first essential
for enduring hot spells is to get

eminent medical authority for the

due much more to the exhaustion
incident to insufficient sleep on ex-

intensity of the daily heat.
