rested today on warrants charging
them with accepting a bride. They the
A. NJ. Cowie, G. G. Trey, George II. Hess
and Frank A. Sears. The case grows
out of the letting Of a contract for
Venetian blinds for several large new
school buildings erected last year.
The evidence on which the charge
was made was furnished by Charles
Chiqy, the representative of the Bost-
wick & Burgess company Of Ohio. He
made affidavit to paying all of the ac-
cused except Cowie certain sums fol
their influence and turned over to the
authorities the checks with which the
sums were paid, showing the indorse-
ments of the accused, which were made
when the checks were cashed. Cowie

ed more than he was willing to
pay.
A committee of the board Is also in,
vestigating charges Of bribery con.
nected with other contracts, but no ar.

London, an. 12.-Terribie losses Oh
both sides are reported as a result Of
the fierce battle at Ladysmith on last
Saturday. While nothing officially has
been given out as to the British cas-
ualties. a summary of them has been
received in London. in which it is stat
ed that they amount to y officers kill
ed. 30 wounded and 800 men of the
rank and file killed or wounded. That
is a heavy percentage in a force which
probably did not muster more than
$500 fit for duty.
The Boer losses are placed by the
same report at between 1000 and 5000.
Mapifestly there must be a good deal
of conjecture about the latter figures
vet il must be remembered that the
fighting lasted for seventeen hours and
that the Boers were attacking intrench-

BLACK LEG AMONG CATTLE


Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 11.-State Vet
erinarian Seabury states that b~lackleg
is prevalent among cattle in the state
at the present time. The Wyoming
out of eighteen different stockmen who
have used it not one reports a loss of a
single head.
There has been considerable scab
among sheep in the state, but reports
show that the disease is not so preva-
lent.
From reports gathered from all sec
tons Of the state the fact is learned that
the stock of the state was never in bet
ter condition than at the present time.
The winter thus far has been an ideal
one everywhere and there have been no
losses other than those from natural
causes There is an abundance of hay
in case of feeding becomes necessary,
but to date the cattle, sheep and horses
have found feed in plenty on the rang
es.
Old stockmen predict that there will
be several thousand more head of cat
tie shipped to the ranges of Wyoming
this year from the south than last sea-
son.
More horses were shipped from Wyo-
ming the past year than ever before
for the same period and the coming
season will witness a shortage of
these animals in the state. Hundreds
of ranchmen who have paid little or
no attention to horses owing to the
low price Of the same are now breeding
and increasing their horse herds.

WASHINGTON, Dec %. Two
thirds of the worlds sugar is now pro-
duced from beets. Prior to 1S71-72 the
| worlds production of beet sugar had
present crop year, according to the
latest estimates, it is $4,000 tons,
while the cane sugar crop, which in
1S71-72 was 1883, 900 tons, the present
year is 2,904 900 tons. Thus cane SUI
gar production has scarcely doubled
during the period under consideration,
while that from beets has more than
Quintupled. Meantime the price has
fallen more than one-half, the average
cost in foreign countries of all sugar
imported into the United States in the
fiscal year 1872 being 5.37 cents per
pound and in 1899 2.39 cents per
pound.
These facts are shown by a tabula-
ton prepared by the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics in response to demands
for information regarding sugar pro-
duttion which have followed the meet
ing of Congress and prospective con-
sderation of matters which have re-

No development of the worlds pro-

but $4,000 tons; by 1896 it had
reached $4,000 tons; in 1S74-75 it was
1,219000 tons; in 1SS4-S5, 2.545, 900

beet sugar formed 13 per cent of the

er of the National Liberals in the
Reichstag, has just returned from a
four months trip in the United States,
Cuba and the other West Indies. The
trip was undertaken for the united Ger
man sugar interests, the object of DR..
Pasche being to study thoroughly what
prospects cane sugar had in the re-
gions through which he passed of com
peting successfully with German beet
sugar under the existing American tar
iff. In the course of an interview to-
day he expressed the opinion that Ger
man sugar would be driven out of the
United States market within three
years unless the United States grants
better terms than the present tariff
He will fully discuss the matter in the
Reichstag, and will publish a book on
the subject.

joyed his visit in the western world,
