Senator Platt, of Connecticut, struck
the bulls eye of truth when he told the

stop any of the extravaganza. A care.
full consideration of a number of the
appropriation bills will show that q
concerted grab game was played from
the start to finish. In the wind-up,
when the bills were in conference and
some things had to be thrown over
board to reach an agreement, the appro.
priations of those having the weakest
"pull" had to 60. Senator Warren, of
Wyoming, Wilson of Washington,
Carter of Montana, and several others,
who had been admitted to the game In
its early stages, publicly protested when
they found themselves buncoed by the
conference report, but that didn't do
them any good in the senate and will
probably not do them any good at

The counties of the state now have
over 100000 of school money in their
possession which they are unable to
loan at the rate of per cent required
by statute. The law requires that this
money shall be loaned in sums of $500
when possible, but it may be loaned
in sums not to exceed $1,000 and it
must be loaned on real estate, but not
necessarily on farm property. There
is no demand at this time for loans in
such sums and at this rate Of interest
and the counties do not know what to
do with the money. 1t is peculiar
condition and a new one in Iowa.

Sugar Production IN LOWE.

Sugar Production IN Iowa.
Beet sugar production has made sub
stantial progress in the United States
during the past year, Notwithstanding
the interruption of the Spanish war,
and the consequent acquisition of some
of the richest sugar producing islands
on the globe. Without doubt these
events had depressing effect for q
time and tended to retard the invest
ment of capital in promoting this enter
prise, but since the policy of the gov
eminent toward these islands has be-
come better understood, feeling of
confidence has been restored and interest
in sugar production has been revived.
Michigan, New York, California and
Minnesota have new factories that have
been in successful operation during the
past season. There are now eighteen
factories in the United States in run
ming order having a total capacity of
12600 tons of beets daily, and contracts
have been let for eight more to be
erected in 1899 -one in Illinois, one in
Colorado and five in Michigan.
investigations In sugar beet growing
have heen continued with very crafty.
ing results at the Experiment Station
at Ames and at many other points in the
state during the year. These results
clearly confirm the previously express
ed conviction that Iowa, particularly the
northern two.thirds of the state, lies
within the belt of profitable sugar pro-
duction, and that the state is entirely
capable of producing Its own sugar
an agricultural and manufactured pro-
duct for which it is now expending over
S6, 100000 annually. Not only this but
1t can also produce sugar for other states
less favorably situated and immeasur-
ably improve the system of agriculture
and stock raising now prevailing.
On the Station grounds, the expert
ments included the different methods
of cultivation before and after seeding,
thinning to different distances in the
rows, and different widths between
the rows, the application of salt and
lime and various barnyard manures.
The commercial fertilizers have been
tested in former experiments and it
has been quite conclusively shown that
the production of high grade sugar
beets Is practicable without the aid of
any of these expensive methods Any
good corn land in Iowa will produce
sugar beets. This is a marked advantage
over foreign sugar producers, as in Ger
many, the sugar best lands sometimes
require as high as $1,000 to SIS 90 worth
of commercial fertilizers per acre. The
Ianaa fzis of eighty .anples taken from
twenty plots on the Station grounds at
different dates is given below.

Ihese oeets average considerably
richer in sugar and higher in purity
than the minimum standard for profit
able manufacturing, and some that
were even hetter have been forwarded
from other points in the state.
The most extensive work in sugar
beet growing in Iowa was carried on in
the vicinity of Waterloo and Cedar
Falls, Mason City and Clear Lake,
Hedrick and Dubuque, hut many other
localities have produced good beets,
This work should be continued In a
systematic and thorough manner, as it
is necessary before factories will be
built to demonstrate not only the pos
sibilities of the soil, but the capabilities
and interests of the farmers as well, for
it must be shown that they are willing
to take hold Of it and grow good beets
in sUch quantities as will insure the
successful operation of factory. Two
firms of eastern capitalists have lately
written to the Station that they are
ready to erect factories in favorable To-
ealities where such interest is NANTES.
ted. Capital is now seeking paying in.
vestment and it will be much easier to
secure the means necessary for the
erection of factories than during the re-
cent years of financial depression. The
outlook for sugar production in the
United States has never been more
encouraging than it is at the present
time, and the localities that are suited
to TINS industry should now make every
effort to promote it.
The Iowa Experiment Station has on
hand a large quantity of high grade i'm
ported beet seed that will be distributed
to those who are sufficiently interested
to grow the beets carefully according
to instructions that will be sent, and
samples of the beets will be analysed
free and the results reported. Com
munities that are desirous of securing a
factory, however, should organize at
once and employ an expert to superin
tend the work of preparing the soil and
cultivating, growing and gathering the
crop Much will depend on uniformity
of good results in any community
where the erection of factory is con-
templated and this can only be attained
by entrasting the supervision of the
work to an experienced beet grower.

Many women seek broader sphere
than art and home and fashion offer.
The vortex of speculation entices them,
and the bauble gold flashes before their
eyes. Their argument is that if men
accumulate fortunes in Wall Street, q
woman of equal intelligence should
succeed as well. These women are not
fast in the vulgar sense; they do not
belong to the class that frequent the
race track. The majority of them have
no vices; their habits are no worse
than those of the leaders of fashion, but
they are born gamblers, like men who
spend their time in gaming places.
The necessary password for the gild-
ed youth to enter gambling house ia
not essential for woman desiring ad-
mission to the gambling places of Wall
Street. Money is the magic wand she
waves to insure her welcome. She
enters some fine office queen radiant
with gems, she leaves it q beggar.
W0meA who speculate insist that
they do not gamble, but oply invest,
They argue from false premises An
investment implies something paid fol-
and held, like real estate, or bonds OF
stocks locked pn in safe. The only

sex represent this class of Investors

GOODNESS SAVED H F.

Story Of the Escape Of Mr.. Wells and
Family of Jamestown, n. ID.
New YORK, March 2U.-Edward H.
Welles, his wife aud daughter, of
jamestown. n. D.. had apartments on
the sixth floor Of the Windsor hotel, on
the Fifth avenue side. and Were watch
ing the St. Patrick's day parade when
the fire broke out. They had hardly
time to realize that something had gone
wrong when the smoke rolled through
the corridor and their escape was cut of
in that direction.
The window was now the only hope,
and to jump meant certain death. In
this emergency Mr.. Welles besought his
family to remain cool. and he then
proceeded with great deliberation to
measure the chances Of escape. He first
paid out the Ere escape rope in the room
until he saw it would reach
the ground, and hauling it back
he quickly but securely fastened
i, about his daughters waist. He then
lifted the form of the girl to the win
dow lie dye and slowly allowed it to de-
scend. He wound the rope tightly
about his hands and braced his feet
slowly paying out the rope. at the end
Of which dangled the almost inanimate
body of his daughter. Smoke and fame
shot out at intervals from the windows
below, but the passage of the girl was
not retarded and in a few seconds she
had reached the ground.
There she was quickly taken are of
by fremen, who released her and the
rope was quickly hauled back by Mr..
Welles and exactly the same perform
ance was gone through with in the
case Of his wife. who had meanwhile
stood at his side at the window. For
the third time. Mr.. Welles pulled the
rope back, after he had seen his family
in safety, and he then made prepara-
tions for his own descent.
He recognized. seemingly. that it
would be impossible for him to 60 down
hand-over-hand. and knowing the LAGER
atlons that would result if he slid down
the rope, be first carefully tied up his
hands in towels. Then he clambered
out on the window sill and swung clear.
He shot down like lightning. but there
were ready hands below to break the
fall. and when the bandages had been
removed from the mans hands it was
found that he had not even a blister on
them.
\ great shout Went up from the
crowd as they saw Mr.. Welles land in
safety. He asked for his family. thanked
the tiremen and others for their assist
ance and disappeared. He found tenn
porary shelter with his wife and daugh.
ter with some friends on Fifth avenue,
and his subsequent place of abode was
not learned.
