GOOSE PLANT BLOOMS AGAIN.
Strange Flower In Bloss ON q WA h
ington Park, Chicago, for the
First Time Since 1895. y

The goose plant is in bloom in the
Washington park tropical house at
Chicago for the first time since the
initial experiments with the flower in
1895. A score of blossoms have reached
maturity on the vines, which are rap
idly covering both sides Of the hot
house.
It is eight inches in length and con
sists Of q; q single green leaf SO shaped
that it has the appearance of goose
with head and neck drawn back upon
its body. A long flament-ltke tail
swings from the end of the blossom.
The plant is a native Of Guatemala
and its scientific name is so long that
Head Gardener Fred Kanst, after inn
pressing it. on several hundred visit
ors, decided in 1895 that some shorter
designation must be invented. Ac-
cordingly he advertised for SUCCESS
tons, and all visitors agreed that It
s. should be called the goose plant

NEBRASKA BEET. SUGAR CROP.
Coed Outlook for the Industry In
That state-Farmers Get Four
Dollars q Ton for Reefs.

The officials of the Chicago, Bur-
ington & Quincy railroad have been
collecting some information concern
ing the sugar beet industry in Ne
braska.
Some difficulty was encountered
early in the season in securing suf-
fcient acreage for the two large fac
tories there. But the final result was
an acreage sufficient to meet all re-
quirements.
The weather conditions early in the
season were favorable for planting and
cultivating the beet, SO that good
stand was secured. The crop matured
in excellent condition and is making
a very large yield.
The factories at Grand Island and
Norfolk began operations about Oc-
tober and are making a successful
run, with a prospect of larger sugar
output than in any preceding year,
The price paid to the farmer usual
" is four dollars a ton, but the very
good quality of this seasons crop will
probably secure five dollars ton The
output of the factories in the state
this season is estimated to be about
25,0O0,0OO pounds.

TARRED WITH sTH 6A11ESylOK 5


It has come to such 4 pass that one
does not expect much from the aver
age republican partisan newspaper, but
we had hoped that our old friend Hays,
of the Sleepy Eye Dispatch, whose rec
ord for yeracity has thus far escaped
without a bIemish, would rise superior TO
that propensity for nlisrep presentation
with which his brethren Of like political
faith are 50 sadly afflicted. But alasl
Heis tarred witt, the same stick. Yes,
he even goes farther, and boldly asserts
that his facts are facts. Here is the
evidence quoted verbatim from his last
paper.
Here are IA few facts 1t cost 5 cents
a car to inpect and weigh wheat under
the Republican administration; under
the Pop deal It costs % cents. With 10
cent inspection the department had u
balance at close of last crop year Of $40.
5074.34; under the Pop deal there is anet
ueticlt of $24 ,833.23. The average num-
bel of employees under the republican
administration was 100; under the Pop
deal 1t 1872. just think over this a min.
ute.
And TO conclude with the admonition
that his readers think 1T over minute!
Why, bless your dear heart, bret her Hays,
republican voters never think. they let
their party leaders do it for them, and
if they did think less than a minute up
on the present proposition they would
see that this deficit was harvested dur.
ing the last eleven months Of republic
can administration and that the report
Of inspector Reishus actually covered
only one month of his term Of service
They will also see, if they stop to think,
that the average number of employees
under the Sc. called spop'' administration
covers only that period of the year when
the receipts Of grain are the heaviest
and an increased force the most neces-
sary, while the smaller average credited
to the former administration takes in the
entire year with. its dull. seasons In
conclusion, brother, here's friendly
tip-never ask your readers to think.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

The Review has thus tar refrained
from jumping into the dreadful breach
caused by the discussion as to when the
18th century ends and the goth puts on
It's overalls and jumper and goes to work,
but 1t seems THAT something must be
done to settle this vital question. So bit
ter has been the controversy that J. Ad-
am Bede and the Pope have both been
called.upon for an authoritative statement,
and,,lhstaving got it, the public with the
peryeEsity of human nature, refuses to
be satisfied. We can see some possible
excuse for doubt or nlisconstruction as
to the statement Of the his ecclestiacal
but that Bede's judgment should be
questioned is beyond belief.
However, there is yet one great source
of light upon all complex question, the
New York Sun, and here follows its rea
soning in the form of few simple ques.
lions and answers, which, t" say the
least, appear to be perfectly logical: II

One hundred years.
When did the year No. ! end?
December 8 of the year /.
When did the year No. begin?

When did the year 80 end?

Did that complete century?
No. #.
When was the century completed?
At the close of the year following 90,
or at the close Of the year 100.
When did the second century begin?
January of the year Of the second
century, that is, January 1, A.. d. I01.
When did the nineteenth century end?
At the close Of the nineteenth hun
dredeth year, or at the close Of 1900.
When does the twentieth century
begin?
It begins on day No. Of yeal No. !
of the twentieth hundred years-that is,

The state board OF railway commits
sioners has authorized the railways inter-
ested to make an advance of fifteen cents
= ton on the cost of transporting coal
from the head of the lakes to interior
points. No claim is made that the rate
formerly charged was too low for profit
but the advance was allowed upon the
theory that the rate was not as high in
proportion as other rates. 1t has been
popularly supposed that the railway
commission was organized for the pro-
lection OF the public but such would
seem not to be the case. With coal cost
ing perhaps 50 per ton at the mines and
selling in this section of the country at
$3.50 it would seem that there could not
be much reason foran advance in freights.

The Magic of Rome.

The story of Rome is tale Of mur- der and sudden death, varied. chang ing, never repeated in the same way there is blood on every threshold; a tragedy lies buried in every church and chapel, and again we ask in vain wherein lies the magic of the city that has fed on terror and grown old in carnage, the charm that draws men to her, the power that holds, the magic that enthralls men soul and body, as Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tam hauser in her mountain of old. Yet none deny it, and as centuries roll on the poets, the men of letters the musi- clans, the artists of all ages, have come to her from far countries and have dwelt here while they might, some for long years, some for the few months they could spare, and all of them have left something, verse, line, sketch, a song that breathes the threefold mys- tery of love- eternity and death.- "Studies From the Chronicles of Rome, " by Marion Crawford.

Ireland Called Many Names.

Few countries have suffered SD many changes of name as Ireland In the time of Ptolemy the island was known as Scotia Diodorus Siculus calls the island Irs, or Irisi; in the De Mundo, cred
 ited by some scholars to Aristotle, it is called Irenne. in the "Argonautica of Orpheus it appears as lrinus; Strabo calls it Irene; Caesar, Tacitus and Pliny mention it as Hibernia; Mela called il Juverna The native names in Celtic are IF Fri or Erin Plutarch mentions it under the name of Ogygia The name Ireland is no doubt derived from the native IF or Fri but when it came into general use IS question concerning which scholars are much at variance

The tragic story of the beautiful and talented Scottish woman. Helen Irving is not, perhaps, well known. although it has been celebrated in song She had been for some time courted by two gen tlemen whose names were Bell and Fleeming Bell told the girl that if he ever found her in Fleeming's company he would kill him She. however. had a strong regard for Fleeming. and one day. while walking along the romantic banks of the Kirtle. she observed his rival on the other side of the river among the bushes
 Conscious of the danger her lover was in. she passed between him and his enemy who firing, shot her dead Fleeming crossed the river and killed the coward A heap of stones was raised on the place where the brave woman fell, and she was buried in the near churchyard Fleeming. overwhelmed with love and grief, went abroad. but soon returned and. stretching himself on her grave. expired He was buried by her side.
