Tho beet Sugar Industry.

=
The beet sugar industry is looming
up in this country. In Michigan the
bounty earned thus far this year
amounts to $9S,555. There is certainly
a hopeful outlook for this Industry.
The total product Of beet sugar in Eu-
rope last year was 100000 tons
against 4,947,000 tons the year before.
The worlds crop Of sugar cane is plac-
ed at 100000 tons. 1t will be seen
from these figures that more than half
the raw sugar produced comes from
beets. Sugar beets are raised success
fully in various parts of Europe, par.
ticularly in Germany, and it has been
proved beyond question that the soil in
some sections of this country is admi-
rably adapted to their production and
that those raised in such sections are
very rich in saccharlne qualities The
sugar beet growing industry should be
encouraged. 1t gives Investigation
Of the agricultural Industries, which is
desirable. and adds to the sources of
income Of the tiller Of the soil. There
are, however, local conditions and
adaptability Of soil to be taken into
consideration. While sugar beets may
be successfully grown in some sections,
they might not be probably produced
in others. .@
The Kansas experiment station does
not speak in the most encouraging
terms Of the beet sugar industry in
that state. 1t is stated that the results
of the past three years confirm those
of former years and indicate that while
Kansas has produced many individual
plats of excellent quality she has pro-
duced more Of inferior quality, and
that states in higher ATTITUDES are bet
ter situated for successful sugar beet
production. Doubtless with a better
understanding of the conditions requi-
site to success and greater willing
ness to take the pains and make the
necessary effort to meet these condi-
tons better beets can be grown. The
state will always be at a disadvantage,
however, and with it's superb adapta-
ton to corn, wheat, alfalfa and other
staple crops it is probably the part of
wisdom to leave this crop chiefly to
other states, except as it is grown for
feed.

The Foundation of a Modern
Utopia.
DIRE AM OF CERTAIN MEN
Several Colonies Have Been Started
But Failure Has Been the End
In All of tine Attempts.

AS long as the world endures there
will probably be men whose ambition it
will be to attempt to solve the social
problem. Ever since the days Of the
Brook farm, to the inception of which
SO many of the brightest men and wo-
men of this country gave their best
thoughts, men have dreamed of Utopias
in which all should reside together so
peacefully that the world would be
taught a lesson that would persuade it to
forsake it's old money grabbing. ways for
a more ideal method of living. Almost
every year has seen the organization Of
some new Utopia based upon the vision
airy dreams of social refOrmers. In the
Dry these projects may lave been cor
rect. If they could be successfully car
ried out they might be able to solve all
the social difficulties Of the world, but in
nearly every instance the theory, when
put into practical operation, has met
some i-nsurmOuntable obstacle and the
Utopia, founded upon such honest hopes,
became another of the many failures.
The story of Brook farm is a familiar
one to every student of American affairs,
Never in the world las such a colony
been organized under more suspicious
circumstances, n yet the Brook farm
disappeared as thoroughly as many Of

and that he led the most serious Fenian
raid into Canada which has ever succeed
ed in crossing the border.
In 1866, the close of the Civil war, left
without occupation a large number of
American citizens Of Irish birth or par
entage who had seen much active mill
tary service. Most of these were i'm
bued with a venomous hatred of England,
and many of them had distinguished
themselves not only by the usual Irish
gift of physical courage, but also by
the display of higher qualities as lead
ers. Among the latter was Colonel
ONeil, a graduate from West Point. Cir
cumstances seemed to indicate to the bit
terly anti-British Irish in this country
the expediency of a great military organ
ization in furtherance of their political
designs. Seven years before, in 1858, the
"Fenian" movement, with a name taken
from one of the legendary heroes of the
primitive Irish races, had begun in Ire
land. The "Fenian B%rotherhood' now
sprang into what vas to be a thoroughly
organized and equipped existence in this
country. 1t was reported at that time
to have a following of more than SO, 900,
as we'll as a regular government, with an
office "in the neighborhood Of Union
Square" It's organization was certainly
complete enough to encourage it to at
tempt a rising in Ireland. James Steph-
ems, it's famous head CENTER landed in
that country, but was arrested and put
in Jail. The Fenian rising in 1866 failed,
and while Stephens remained incarcerat-
ed the leaders on this sid fell out among
themselves.

the United States government confiscat-

Few of those who have read the works
of Bellamy and who have dreamed of an

The history of the Bethel colony after
his death is SO brief that it may be told
in a few words. Without the executive
head things went from bad to worse and
the colony gradually dwindled away
until nothing was left of it but a memory.
The history of Ruskin, Tenn, fur
nishes another instance Of a colony that
although founded under the most favor

weather the tides of fortune. Ruskin
was founded about five years ago by j.
A. Wayland, afterwards a resident of
Kansas. For a time it was one of the
most promising cooperative colonies in
the country. and it's paper, the Coming
Nation, had a circulation of more than
$4,000 copies.
Wayland was a thorough believer in
the principles of communion, and his
faith in human nature was perfect. He
believed that man needed but an oppor-

him n he gave them that opportunity.

Car Blownup with Dynamite

St. Louis, July 15.-As a Union line car of the Lee avenue division of the Transit Company was passing the intersection of Twenty-second street and Bremen avenue at Il o'clock tonight the wheels struck charge of dynamite, which exploded with terrific force. The car was blown from the track, the flooring and sides were rent as sunder and all the windows demolished. There were four passengers on the car, two of whom, Edward English and Mollie Shere, were so badly injured that they had to be taken to the city dispensary The others, although badly shaken up, were able to go home. The explosion was by far the worst that has occurred on the St. Louis Transit Company's line since the strike began.

It was the first Sunday in many weeks that one or more saloon men were not caught dispensing spirituous or malt liquor on the sly. If there were any violations of the law in this respect the police were unable to detect them.

They found twelve negro men, ranging In age from IS to 50, and one woman, the wife of the head of the house. The latter showed fight and promptly resisted the police; and the men were disposed to give trouble, too. But amongst the dozen sports there was not single gun-only razors. Nix and Potts were quick to draw their revolvers and cover the crowd, and soon all demon strations on the part of the darkies ceased.

EYES CENTERED
 ON IRON DECLINE
Each New Break is Taken as
 Matter of Course.
PRICES NOW CLOSE TO GUST
When the Turn is Forced by Events, as it Will be Before Many Months,
 the Buyers Will be
 Anxious

New York July 15.-(Special)-The whole iron trade has it's eyes centered on the de- cline in prices. Each new break is taken as a matter of course, and a further and heavier break is expected to follow it, There is no more disposition to buy Besse- mer at s16 than there was at $24. Prices of pig iron are now close to the cost mark in all districts, but it can safely be said that were they 25 per ceHt lower the aver age buyer would wait for a still lower bot tom. It has always been so, and always will. When the turn is forced by events, as it will be before many months, the same doubters will change in a night to eager buyers of material.
 Wall street boasts that 1t does not wait for events It discounts them. It dis counted the decline we have witnessed, months before those in the trade believed in it. Now 1t is discounting the turn up- ward. The leading iron and steel stocks are up three to ten points, and further rise is expected. Heads of large New York banks tell their iron and steel friends that their present gloom is as ill-founded as their exaltation of last fall, and predict great activity before the year is over.
 The increase of S6,000 tons in pig iron stocks at furnaces is rather less than we predicted last week. The reduction of out put by blowing out of stocks in June about 650000 tons off the annual rate-is close to what was expected. Something near this monthly rate of restriction will continue until prices recover. Furnaces, unlike mills, can not respond quickly to demand for starting and closing. The best estimate is that the present level of prices calls for an annual output of 125OO,000 tons, and that each dollar a ton further decline will knock off million tons. With miners wages and transportation averaging 30 per cent. higher, and not capable of readjust- ment this year at least, a relapse to prices of two years ago would close practically every blast furnace in the country.
 Rather undue local attention has been given this week to conferences between managers of large Western steel companies. We are warranted in saying that such in- formal reviews of the situation by leading interests, while healthful. do not look to price agreements. Nothing is better settled than that the general iron and steel trade of the United States is and always will be aswide open affair, and that prices will ad- just themselves according to the old-fash- toned laws of supply and demand
