Stssesd In otsse County.


Sugar City is the name of the
new townsite just laid off on the
map of Colorado, fve miles east Of
Ordway and almost directly north
Of Rocky Ford, says the Pueblo
Chieftain. The beet sugar factory
Of the National Beet Sugar Com.
pany will be the FIRST industrial
plant erected at Sugar City and
ground will be broken for that inn
mense structure within the next
few days. The location of the
town was determined upon last
week by a party of the directors Of
the company and it is on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad near Lake
Meredith. The factory will be To-
Gated ON bluff near the lake al
ready mentioned and both locations
are considered we'll nigh perfect.
Horse Creek runs just east Of the
townsite and that will be used as
an outlet for the sewage system.
o. o. McReynolds, the chief en-
gineer OF the company, went to
Ordway Sunday night to make a
survey for the tracks, and the new
town promises to be one OF the
busiest places in the state for it
will require force OF some 200
men to build the factory.
In the party were ]. A. Roberts,
OF Buffalo, p. L. VanAlstyn, Of
Sandusky, Ohio, Z. A. Robbins,
OF Baltimore, George Felck, Of
Sandusky, ]. c. Abbott, of Hart
ford, Conn, w. l.. Hartman, Of
Pueblo, and L. S. Cronk, land
agent for the Missouri Pacific rail
road. Most OF the gentlemen are
also interested in the Twin Lakes
Land and Water Company and the
Twin Lakes Reservoir Company,
Mr.. McReynolds has been in
charge OF the work at that place
and he says that the dam will be
completed and the reservoirs in
operation by November sth. The
storage capacity will be sixteen
feet deep and cover an area of
1000 acres. This water will be
carried down the Arkansas river to
the headgate OF the Colorado canal
which is some fifteen miles east Of
Pueblo. The company has but
little apprehension over being able
to get all its water back again as
there are bht few headgates above
its own and the state statutes make
provisions for the use Of water as
already stated.

to consult Dr. r. v. Pierce, by letter, abso-
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by DIR. Pierce, has caused iriita-

advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to {" write to a wornan," ask
the simple question, |" Is this woman

not, and does not, and dares not claim

is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.

R..ul.. ot .h. aa.Iec s...eo.

The Rocky Ford Enterprise in
an interview with Nat Wetzel,
learned the following facts and
figures regarding the results OF the
seasons shipments:
Over SIoo, 900 has been paid
the growers by the Western Poul-
try and Game Co.. SIoo, 900 has
been paid to the transportation
companies, and between $50. 600
and $40, 900 for expenses and COM
mission, making total Of nearly a
quarter OF a million dollars, in a
period Of forty-five days, making il
the largest melon transaction in
the world, and making the Arkan-
sas valley the largest cantalonpe
producing section in the world,
both in number Of cars and number
Of crates per acre. The statistics
show many growers have this year
marketed over two hundred crates
per acre. &
Owing to a sudden change Of
weather conditions in the east it 10
doubtful whether the Western
Poultry and Game Company will
be able to realize more than freight
charges out of the last seventy-hve
cars shipped. for which the grow
ers received as advance payment
about $4,000.
Mr.. Wetzel informs us that he
will be with us next year. as free
and ~ liberal as ever, with some
changes, however. as well as inn
provements in his manner Of
handling the larger cities, and
hopes that the melon growers Of
the valley will remain loyal to the
one who has piloted this industry
to fame and prominence, and give
him an opportunity to regain his
Losses Of the past two years.

YIELDS TO POPULIST SENATE
Three Days Deadlock in Kansas Leg
isInture Ends and Adjourn
ment Comes Today.

TOPEKA, Kan, March THE Kansas
will adjourn sine die tomorrow deadlock
that has prevented legislation for three
days past was broken tonight by the yield
ing of the republican house to the demands
of the populist senate. The strife grew out
OF a judicial contest in the district com
posed of Nemaha Brown and Doniphan
counties. The returns were in favor of
Judge Brown, a republican, but his popu-
list opponent. Falloon filed a contest before
the state senate. in accordance with the
Kansas law. The senate postponed action
on the contest until near the close of the
contest, when the majority brought in a
bill appropriating 900 to defray the ex
penses of the senate sitting in special ses-
sion to consider the contest. The republicans
denounced this as a salary grab and killed
the measure, whereupon the populist sena-
tors added the appropriation measure TO the
executive and judicial appropriation bill al
a rider.
Then came the deadlock the popuists
absolutely refusing to pass the appropria
ton bill without the rider, After three days
strife the republicans weakened and ac-
cepted the odious amendment after the
senate had agreed to reduce the amount to
be expended from $4,000 to 100000
Governor Stanley has declared that he
will veto the appropriation bill when it
comes TO him as amended.

LEASE OF DEAD MANS ISLAND
Vancouver Citizens Protest to the

of Chicago Syndicate.

MONTREAL, March IA delegation Of
Vancouver, b. c., citizens called at the Of
fee OF the premier today and protested
against the leasing Of Dead Mans Island to
a Chicago syndicate for milling purposes.
The delegates claimed that Dead Mans
Island is part of Stanley park which was
conveyed to the city by an order in council
for park purposes. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that one of the delegates j. C. Nc
Lagan, had been negotiating at one time with
the provincial government for the park,
which upheld this contention. 1t was also
shown that the island had been used by
the city as a contagious disease hospital and
cemetery and not a cent had been expended
on 1t for park purposes. The terms of the
lease were then explained and the premier
asked the delegation to put its views in
writing.
1t is generally believed that the lessees
will not be disturbed.

an employe OF the Lexington avenue cable

similar shock. The accident was caused
through Hampel trying TO tighten a loose
screw on tho switchboard and in some way
creating circuit. The enormous power of
the shock may be judged by the fact that
until the circuits were readJusted all the
