The $4,000 sugar-beet factory contracted
to be erected at North Judson, Starke
county, is an example of what one earnest
and persistent man can do. Jacob Keller,
of that place, for over three years has
been persistently and untiringly keeping
the fact that the sugar beet was an in
dustry of high promise and that North
hudson was in the center of the best grow
ing belt before the public and before cap
italists and sugar experts. No periodical
was too big for him to tackle and no one
too small for him to use He has written
hundreds of columns and thousands of
letters on the subject. At last he sees the
hopes realized, and the location of the fac
tory is an example of what an earnest
man can do.

1t should make the judicious Democrats
grieve to think of the situation. Not long
ago Kentucky was, other things being
equal, the banner Democratic State of the
Union. There was supposed to be no limit
to the Democratic ma ority that Kentucky
could give. But with everything in its
own hands the Democratic party lost the
State to Bradley then lost the State, en-
tirely through its own fault, to Taylor.
The party has arrived at a point where

Ibsen has written a new drama, and this
Is the way the ridiculous Richard lie CAL
lienne begins a two-column account of the
masters work:
In the year I'm which Ibsen publishes a
new play all other literary events take a
second place. This happens with solemn
periodicity only once in two years. Once
in two years the divine plant flowers. Once
in two years the prophet opens his lips.
And the metaphors are not homogeneous
for through all the sternness of Ibsen's
various messages have always twined the
star-like blossoms of that fancy which is
all Ibsen now allows TO escape TO the sur
face of the tremendous poetic force lying
like a central volcanic fire beneath ali his
work. Well. the great event of new play
by Ibsen happened in Copenhagen on Dec.

navian culture. and. though Ibsen is a
Norwegian. he always publishes his books

I. is announced that the editor of the
organ of the State Liquor Dealers League
will be the principal speaker at a meeting
tonight in one OF the city churches, called
by the Anti-saloon League. The object of
the joint movement is to compel every per-
son who takes out a government license
20 sell intoxicating liquors to take out also
q county and city license as the law re-
Quires- The movement is probably directed
mainly at grocers who sell bottled goods
and drug stores who retail liquors without
license. The curious alliance of temperance
and saloon interests seems TO grow out
of common desire on the part of both TO
bring about a strict enforcement Of the
license law. The motives OF the two par
ties are. of course. entirely different, one
aiming at the advancement OF the temper
ance cause and the other at restricting the
liquor traffic to open and licensed dealers.

proprlate bit of repartee at least
dozen other strapping darkies came
tumbling out from behind pile of bar
res, where crap game had evidently
been in progress, and started on dead
run for a nearby alley-way. None of
them had asked any questions, and,
needless to say, my curiosity was highly
excited, SO I trailed along in the rear,
and at the other end of the alley found
the whole crowd, with numerous addi-
lions, clustered about a small covered

The lower half of his countenace was

except his eyes, which he rolled upward
until they resembled a couple of white

DREDGING FOR GOLD.

Relative to the mammoth industry
Of dredging for gold in the creeks of
Montana, she current issue of the Min

ated in the Northwest was built at Ban

1895, by H. J. Reiling and others, was
named the f. l.. Graves. was rebuilt in
1896 and became successful in 1897. That
same year the dredger A. F.. Greater was
built and was a success from the start.
Then olloWed the dredgers Maggie A.
Gibson, Bon Accord and Geo. F. Cope, all
located on Grasshopper creek, below
Rannack. These dredgers met with va
rying success. The Maggie A. Gibson

pecting done in Gr%asshopper creek at

These particulars concerning the Ban

necessity of careful inquiry and study of
conditions surrounding a placer proper

a number of elevator bucket dredgers
have been put out in other states, and

GAVE BEIGE THE LIMIT.
Judge Sullivan Imposes Just Sentence
on an Alleged Man.

E. Freeman Betger was sentenced to
six months in the county Jail and to pay
a fine of $500 by Police Magistrate Sui
livan yesterday for brutally beating
Matte Bowman, an inmate Of an East
Gaaena street house. Betger has been
living off the earnings of the woman.
and Judge Sullivan, in passing sentence,
said tina he regretted that the law did
not allow fiogging.
Miss Bowman appeared on the stand
With both eyes swollen and her face
badly bruised. She said that Betger had
assaulted her while she was lying on the
bed, and she did not know how many
times he had struck her. After the as
sault Betger called in the police to have
her arrested, blu the police seeing her
condition, took Betger into custody.
In putting UP a defense, Betger en-
deavored to show that the woman was
drunk and that she had injured herself
by falling against the stove. Under
cross-examination by Mr.. Alley, how
ever, he admitted thu he had pulled
Miss Bowman's nose.
In summing up the case, Mr.. Alley Sc
verely arraigned Betger, and said that
he was not worthy OF the name of man.
Judge Sullivan put on the fnishIns
touches by giving Betger the limit.
