Beet pulp has been fed to dairy cattle
in California for many years with salts
factory results. Reports from Pecos
Valley, n. NJ, shows the satisfactory
feeding of large numbers of sheep and
good demand for pulp. In visiting the
beet sugar farms of Europe, says the as
sistant chemist of the agricultural de-
partment, an excellent condition among
the beef and dairy cattle is quite notice
able. This desirable result is i'll large
measure traceable to the feeding of beet
pulp from the sugar factories. In adj.
dition to the pulp, small portion OF
molasses is also fed.

Judge Nj. +. Tuley recently addressed
an open letter to NJ. I'll. Magher, secre-
tary of the Jeffersonian Democratic
league of Chicago, IN which he says OF
the silver issue
The Democrats who insists upon re-
ming this dead issue must not over
look the conceded fact that the silver
populistic republicans have returned, al
most enmasse, to the republican party.
THE free coinage of silver at the ratio
of IS TO / is no longer live issue.
"The largely increased production OF
gold, the abundance of money, as shown
by the steady lowering OF the rate of in
terest, and the renewed prosperity that
has swept over the land, has killed it as
an issue. Why not drop it altogether
out of the next platform: If that Is
done success is certain.
IF we must have silver plank, let it
be the free coinage of silver without any
reference 10 ratio.

THE STRIKE AND ITS ENDING.
Not Caused by any Labor Union, but
Nevertheless il was a Strike.

Alma Is certainly making great strides
towards dOnning metropolitan airs but
whether we, as resident Of this beauti-
full place, are entitled to be proud of the
fact in all It's aspects, we are undecided.
We certainly are proud of the many i'm
provements and the rapid growth in
population but there are some phases Of
this metropolitan business that are dis
agreeable, especially when it comes to
dissentiOn among the laboring class.
However we must except the bitter with
the sweet To come TO the point we
have reference to the strike of the street
laborers last Saturday night, and now
when an Alma man meets resident of
St Louis or Ithaca he greets him with a
naughty stare and IN whitening tones ex-
claims in language after the style of the
long since vanquished Corbett Ego and
have a strike, then | will meet you on
an equal footing" The strike did not
last long enough, however TO prove dis
astrous and everything is serene now
Larger cities should please note this. II
seems that some of the labOrers working
on the street improvements did not like
the boss Of the job, w. o. johnson, and
on Saturday night stated they would
not go 20 work on Monday morning I'M
less new man was put in his place.
The village council refused to accede TO
their demands and consequently a new
force Of men were hired TO fill the
strikers places. The strikers had
threatened violence if the new men
were permitted to commence work but
the council instructed the officers how TO
act IL any violence was attempted and
this seemed to put a quietus upon the
matter on the start. 1t is only fair 20
state that the agitators and the majority
of the men who went on the strike were
not residents Of the town but had come
here seeking employment from other
towns nearby. The work on the streets
has not been delayed any at all on &C.
count of the difficulty.

The American delegates to the Peace
Congress at The Hague have distin-
guished themselves greatly by Offering
an international scheme whereby wal
may be averted The scheme is to pro-
vide an international Court of Arbitra-
ton with Judge from each of the great
nations, in which court suits shall be
Brought, decisions arrived at. and Opin-
ions delivered much after the style of
our own supreme court. The idea is a
novel, equitable and fair and It's wisdom
has amazed the other delegates. The
power of the other great nations will be
behind the court with all the force of
centuries of civilization and judicial
acumen. The ordinary court expenses
would be paid 10y levy on the nations,
and extraordinary expenses would fall
on the ltigants in court. Nearly every
delegate Is personally in favor OF the
proposition.

Last month the Beet Sugar Gazette
sent kilograms TO the 30 factories in the
United States, asking for information
to the probable outlook for the manu-
facture Of beet sugar in the UnitCG
States this season. In the June issue of
the Gazette it publishes replies from | /
states and the total acreage is placed at
l42 PIP. The Gazette says:
Deducting from this 10000 acres for
loss incident TO first campaign and un-
favorable climatic conditions on the Pa
cifc coast, we will probably harvest a
full crop from 1900 acres. At the
very conservative estimate Of ten tons
to the acre, this would bring 1,132, 900
tons of beets, or 1872 900 tons of granu-
lated sugar. This represents an increase
on nearly 400 per cent. over last year.
1t will be interesting TO note that Of
the total acreage given, Michigan is
credited with II, 400 devoted TO beet
culture this season OF this amount
10, 400 acres are distributed in Western
Michigan, as follows Berrien county;
j 100 acres Ottawa, 100, Allegan. H.
3O0 Kent, $50; Muskegon POO; GratiOt
1000; Kalamazoo, 1000. Discussing
the outlook of beet sugar product for
this season the Gazette says
1t is very gratifying showing and
means that we will keep many millions
of dollars at home instead of sending
them out Of the country. 1t shows, on
the other hand, that there is plenty of
room for more capital to engage in this
new industry. We have now thirty
factories to supply the home demand.

sugar bounty bill but cut the bounty ones
half before passing it, This was done a.
a compromise as the bill has been re
ported back from the governor and there
was danger Of its being defeated en-
tirely. The bill provides. besides the
half-ceut bounty, that 10 factory which
goes into trust shall receive any bounty;
that farmers must be paid 81 a ton for
beets, and that if any arrangement is
made 60 return a rebate to the factories
by the farm RS, the factory receiving the
rebate shall be cut OIL from the bounty
The amount appropriated is 100000

enough the general fund may be
drawn upon.

Big Tuss1s Berween Clown Bobby Mack
aud Big Constructor ntHaGenback show.
Philadelphia, Oct. 26. This is most
extraordinary story of fight between
a man and 10 foot boa constructor.
Bobby Mack. respectable and trust
worthy employe, holding the position
of clown and animal Instructor witnthe
Hagenback wild animal aggregation,
weighs 1870 pounds, is as strong as a
lion, and can hold a man over his head
with one hand. Yet Mack. with a base
ball bat, was unable to finish the
snake. The serpent not only showed
remarkable agility, but showed that it
had genuine courage, and could fight
like cornered panther. 1t gave Mr..
Mack the prettiest tussle for points
history has probably ever recorded. It
is to be added that after two rounds
the fight ended in draw, with both
contestants thoroughly winded.
Mack had occasion to go into the
show early this morning, when he
heard terrific threshing. Recognizing
at once that one of the snakes had es-
capped from its box, he advanced. and
saw the 19 foot boa constructor rear its
ugly head over the top of one of the
animal cages. Mack looked around for
some weapon of defense, but finding
none turned and fled into the Es-
planade, where he secured bat and
scurried back to the show. He thought
1t would be fun to cut the snake into
mince meat with the club.
The snake had not escaped upon the
return Of Mack. but had opinions of it's
| own in relation to the impending COM
bat. 1t coiled itself into a huge mass
| and assumed defensive position. Up
went the club through the air and
| caught the snake on the head. For an
| instant the snake wavered; then like
Kissing rocket 1t shot forward and
made lunge at Mack Before the
snake recovered Mack had again given
1t q terrific blow with the club.
The clown rained blow after blow
upon the crazed creature, and once was
sent sprawling 20 the ground. Before
he could get on his feet the snake had
seized him around the waist and was
endeavoring to crush him. Mack
wriggled loose with the assistance OF
Mathew Johnson and others. AT the
first opportunity he reversed his bal
and gave the reptile an awful blow In
the neck with the butt end.
Down in heap went the snake, ami
Mack was certain he had knocked II
completely out. but he was mistaken
The snake was up and after Mack. who
leaped aside. feinted with his bat, ant
the snake. carried with the force o.
the redhot lunge. landed out into th'
middle of the enclosure. 1t tSlen AGAIN
advanced into the open and glared az
Mack. The reptile shook with anger
and WEAKNESS. but made no attempt
Ia renew the battle. After short res
Mack again attacked the snake. This
round became hot at the start, but i
did not last long. The snake, nov
overcome with exhaustion, was cap
tured and put into its box.
Mack's friends are congratuiatin'
him upon his pluck and the narrow es
cane which he had.
