SUGAR BETS FOR INDIANA.

Jameson & HeidrIch of Peoria,
ILL.,, have purchased from Danielson
& Ellingson 1850 acres of land ly-
ing near Hamlet, paying S3o,5oo,
and closing options on an additional
1850 acres. This land lies just on
the edge of the Kankakee river and
most of it is included in the swamp
section. The firm has purchased it
for the purpose of converting the
great tract into a sugar farm.
1t was in behalf of this firm, which
proposes to erect sugar.beet plant
the first in Indiana-that the sugar
bounty bill was introduced into the
Indiana legislature last week. Itwas
shelved for the present and possibly
never will be heard of again. 1t
proposed bounty of cent on ev-
cry pound of beet sugar manufac-
tured in Indiana from Indiana beets.
1t is said, however, that the com
pany will not abandon its plans and
that the plant will be erected at
once. Sugar beets testing 22.9 per
cent sugar have been raised on these
lands and it is thought that the en-
tire country along the Kanka-
kee river possesses sugar-beet
lands which are unequaled anywhere
else in the world. The soil that
beets demand is a ssndy loam-black
preferably. We find both in the
Kankakee swamps.

wATTERsON's CONCLUSIONS.

Writing from Washington to the
Courier; Journal, Henry Watterson,
in a letter of nearly 1900 words,
has some pertinent remarks concern
ing the immediate future. AS to the
democrats, he says they will go to
certain destruction if Bryan is re-
nominated, and to worse if an anti
expansion plank is added.
Recurring to his nomination of
Dewey for president, he meets criti-
cism with the statement that Taylor
was not wing nor Grant repub-
can. He speaks plainly about the
war and the peace treaty. 1t was a
peoples war, forced upon the ad-
ministration, and the democrats led
the pressure. Politicians were sim
ply swept along with it. 1t is worse
than bad politics, ne says, to oppose
the peace treaty, since Mckinley
has the cards in his hand.
Mr.. Watterson also remarks:
GAS l am under none of the re-
sponsibilities or restraints of leader
ship, and may say what l think with
out any fear of consequence, l am
free to express the opinion that Gu
ba anu Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines are with us and to stay. Moth.
ing except some overwhelming
wave of disease and death sweeping
across these tropic regions and car
rying our soldiers off as by dry
rot can save the opponents of ma
tional expansion from defeat. Their
sole hope for 1900 is national calam
ity. In 1896 it was fancied, ane
they lost. If it be real, they ma,
win IN 1900"

An experienced raiser of hogs, in an
article in Tuesdays Chicago Record,
takes the position that what is called
cholera in hogs is mole like typhoid
fever, and that it is the result of con-
slant exchanging diet of corn. This, he
says, produces fat, but does not build
bone or muscle to any considerable ex-
tent, and the hogs digestion and consti-
tuition are ruined by constant use of
the heating food He declares that if
hogs are kept clean and fed plenty of
bran. oilmeal, beets, sorghum and other
food of that kind along with corn there
will be no cholera.

1t is possible that today may be set
apart as one of the notable dates in
history. From the actions of our citi-
zen. Chas. Dew. we take it that some
thing of intense importance has occur
ed in his neighborhood. Urgent in
quiry seems to develope the fact that
the object of so much excitement is not
a public calamity such as An earthquake,
a burglary or big fire but on the con-
trary something to be rejoiced at. to an
unlimited degree. If the Reed band
and Plymouth band would play their
livliest jugs; if Dewey would whip the
Spanish again, or Chas Labrash would
bring another show to Plymouth, il
would not half express the sublime
cOntentment on Chas' face. And who
could blame him? This makes only
