THE VLLAINY EXECUTED.
A Nervous Man, Some Noisy Boys and a
Plot That Was Put Inlo Use.

In the plot We're all the boys of the
block. including the boy with the brok-
en- arm who could not get out. Their
ages ranged from nine to IA. The cause
of the conspiracy was a nervous man
who had requested the boys to keep
quiet in the morning in order that he
might sleep and who had frequently
stopped them, singly and collectively,
and told them how he did when he was
a boy.
The chief of the conspiracy and exc
cutioner of the plot had called for sug-
gestiOns for schemes and plans by
which the life of the nervous man
might be further harried and shorten
ed. Very many were suggested. But
to each the chief villain had replied,
walking to and fro like hyena between
meals:
1T must be somethin' lingerin' and
distractin'."
After the catalogue was we'll nigh
exhausted the chief stopped and rasped
the air.
'Ha, I have it! I will play Santa to
me brudder and give i'm drum"
And the next day an undertaker's
wagon backed up to the house in which
the nervous man had died?"5 Of

SOURCES OF RUBBER SUPPLY.
New Fields Must Be Opened to Meet the
Increasing Demand.

increasing Ien1anu.
The total amount of rubber that was
brought to the markets in the year
ending June 30 last was 46, 750 tons. OF
this amount Brazil produced ALSO tons,
or little more than half the entire sup
ply. Africa's share was 1880 tons, leav-
ing only 1900 tons to be supplied by the
rest of the. world. India furnished 1876
tons and the balance of the supply, 1,705
tons came from Central America and
parts of South America outside Of
Brazil.
When the export of rubber from Bra
I'll began about fifty years ago the
quantity shipped in a year was only
495 tons. The British minister in Brazil
estimates that the area Of rubber pro-
ducing territory in Brazil that is still
untouched amounts to 961,000 square
miles. or nearly a third of the area of
the United States, exclusive of Alaska.
The great difficulty in developing these
rubber regions is the scarcity Of popu-
lation and the consequent necessity Of
carrying food supplies everywhere In
all the vast rubber regions Of Brazil
it is estimated that there are only 140,-
coo inhabitants. The rubber districts
that thus far have furnished the sup
ply are becoming exhausted and the
total production last year was less than
in the preceding year.
In Africa there was until recently
only one region which had been very
conspicuous as a rubber producer. This
was the Portuguese colony of Angola,
which in 1889 sent to the market 172S
tons, while the Gold Coast and Lagos
together furnished only 912 tons. In
that the Congo basin appeared in the
market as a source of supply. It's
progress since then has been rapid and
in 1897 1.600 tons were exported from
the upper Congo, though the rubber had
to be carried long distance on the
heads of porters. The present prospects
are that the Congo will some day be
Brazirs nearest rival in the produce

"A Cash in the Head.

T. D. Sweeney appeared at the city

asked for the arrest of the man who
caused it. He said he was talking with
another man in the saloon known as the
Silver Bow Brewery, in Main street,

THE SUGAR BEET.

Willets & Gray, the sugar brokers of
New York, made the following remarks
in their last circular:
The domestic beet-sugar industry OF
the United States shows some very
notable features, which are quite sur
prising when considered from some
points of view. The result of the cam
paign in tons is below last year, but
the gain in factories built and pro-
posed is quite important. The object
lesson of few well-managed factories
paying 20 per cent dividends to stock
holders and dividing 100000 among
farmers near by, as in Utah, is having
a wonderful effect upon both capital
lists and farmers in neighbOring states
and localities, and the year 1899 bids
fair to see much greater activity and
advance in this industry, regardless of
any objection or fears from without
The industry itself is expected to be
strong enough in its position to take
care Of itself against all opposition, po-
officially or otherwise, by the time that
any important action may be required.
Certainly the progress made this year
is phenomenal and unexpected gener-
ally, not as to sugars produced, but as
to factories built and contemplated,
and as to progress made by farmers in
experimental work. We shall continue
TO give the details OF new enterprises
as fast as they reach us, but, as here
tofore, shall avoid publishing mere
rumorS without authentic information.
The sugar beet production may not
be for some time an important factor
In fixing the prices of sugar. At the
same time if that industry is finally
made successful on large scale in
the mainland, it will seriously affect
the sugar interests here. Some are
disposed to ignore the matter But it
must not be forgotten that the chief in
dustry of the United States is agricul-
ture, and that skill in the cultivation
OF the soil is increasing with marvel
GUS rapidity. The facts show that the
farmers are gradually becoming con-
WINGED that the beet crop may be made
more profitable than any general crop
What is needed especially, in order to
make a success of it, is correct prac-
tical knowledge of the matter of cul-
tivation. The time has almost passed
when the farmer worked blindly in de-
yelOping a new industry. He may now,
before making any efforts in new di-
rections, obtain the most reliable data
from the great scientific corps that is
supported by the Federal Government,
and furnishes the farmer with prac-
teal results, not theories.
So far as our own sugar interests are
concerned, the important fact seems to
be established that the sugar-beet in
dustry has come to stay, even far east
OF the Rocky mountains. and if it has
come to stay, it will grow

SUICIDE IN THE STATES.

Rev. ]. A. Cruzan, now pastor of the
Foreign Church at Hilo, Hawaii, once
delivered lecture in Berkeley, Cal, on
the subject of suicide in the United
States.
He stated that one person in 1880
in England; one in 200 in France;
one in 1,5O0 in the United States COM
mitted suicide. His belief was that the
appalling frequency of this crime in the
States was due to high pressure in liv-
ing, and that the crime would increase
unless the people struck slower gait
What is the difficulty? The struggle
for existence in the United States is
slight in comparison with the struggle
in Europe. The resources of the Amer
lean continent have hardly been
scratched. Land, which is the desire
and hope of all in Europe, is cheap in
the States. The Government has been
for fifty years utterly prodigal in Civ
ing a home to every one who wanted
one. The price of food is cheaper than
it is in Europe. Education is free.
Democracy rules. There is no caste.
There are no artificial social distinc-
lions. There are no commercial restrlc-
tons in trade between the forty-tiye
great States. The political orators tell
us on every occasion that America is
the land of the free and the home of
the brave. The religious teachers tell
us that it is the land of Christian
homes It is the paradise of the poor Of
all other lands.
In spite Of all this, a most alarming
number of people become tired of life
and dash themselves into eternity.
Unrest, unhappiness, prevade all
classes alike. The "quiet home ceases
TO be an institution. The good people
listen reverently every Sunday to the
preachers exhortation to put their
treasures in Heaven, but spend the
rest OF the week in putting their trea-
sures on earth. Even with the most
intelligent Christian communities,
wealth commands the highest consid-
Grafton, while character and philantro-
ply are regarded as excellent things
TO talk about, and are recommended
TO the careful consideration Of neigh
bors, and the heather.

such a rich country as the United
States, is due to the unbalanced sys-
