WAS A SOLDIER.

Lackey Barrett, a disabled Spanish
war soldier, charged with stealing
thirty-two pairs of shoes from Cher
iskis store on South Washington ave-
nue., plead guilty and was sent up for
ten months. The crime was committed
April 27, of this year, just after his re-
turn from Cuba. He was down with
the fever and after recovering was bit
ten on the arm by a tarantula. The
bite permanently paralyzed his arm.
He told the judge that he fell in with
bad company, got drunk and gave way
to temptation to steal. All he asked
was not to be sent to the penitentiary.
Louis Zelinsky admitted having ap-
propriated So belonging to Peter Ruba,
which was entrusted to him to buy
some beer, and was given nine months.
A verdict Of not guilty was taken in
the case Of John Dyer, charged by
Margaret Dyer with embezzlement.
The case of George Richards, charged
with burglary by his former boarding
boss, Allen Johnson, was called for trial
before Judge Kelly, after the panel was
exhausted in the effort to secure a jury
in the murder trial. Johnson alleges
that Richards broke into his house and
stole a lot of household articles. Rich
ards claims to be able to prove an alibi.
Attorneys John NJ. Walker and T. E.
Kilcullen were appointed to defend HIM.

THEY STOLE IRON.

Harry Costner, of the West Side, and
George Smith, of the South Side, plead
guilty to the charge of stealing scrap
iron from the PanCoast Coal company
at Throop. In company with a third
man they drove to Throop one night a

their wagon from the scrap heap near
the mine. The fact that the scrap heap
had been gradually diminishing caused
the company to set watch on it. and

o Q Q
The industry is undoubtedly in lis
infancy. but has attained considerable
growth already. and it is comparative
ly flourishing in California. Utah and
some other Western states without the
help OF bounties- There are eight fac
tories in successful operation in Cali
foruia. with an aggregate capacity
OF $3.50 tons OF beets. or nearly 20
tons of sugar daily. There is one fac
tory of moderate capacity in Oregon
and one in Utah. which are together
capable of using up 1850 tons of beets

the next refused 10 appropriate the
money to pay it. 4 beginning has also

jected in Colorado. Utah and Iowa in
the last named state encouragement
has been given to the industry by eS-
empting beet sugar factories from tax

This subject has been investigated
by a special agent of the agricultural
department at Washington. who has
made favorable report on the pros
poets of the industry. provided due
care is taken in the choice of land for
growing the beets and the modes #

the cost o: raising beets is $50 per

teen tons can be raised. commanding

of the pulp for feeding cattle would
make it profitable for the manufac-
turers. He concludes that trade re-

The Conclusions Of the Surgeons
The medical officers say in conclnE-

For ourselves We have been pro

ease. and in which other sources of in
lection can b. excluded. We feel con-
fident that the publication of these OBJ
seryations must excite renewed inter
est in the mosquito theory OF the prop
agation of yellow fever, as first pro-
posed by Finlay.
From the first part of our study Of
yellow fever we draw the following
conclusions:
'First-The blood taken during life
from the general veinous circulation
ON various days of the disease. in eigh-
teen cases of yellow fever, successfully
studied. has given negative results as
regards the presence of baeillustieter-
cides.
Second-Cultures taken from the
blood and organs of eleven yellow fe-
yer cadavers have also proved negative
as regards the presence of this bacil
lus.
-Bacillusteroides (SanarellD

low fever. but, when present, should
be considered as a secondary invader
in this disease.
From the second part of our study
of yellow fever We draw the following
conclusion:

date host for the parasite of yellow
fever. and il is highly probable that the
disease is only propagated through the

ted that Dr. Carroll during the period
