The second annual beet sugar cam.
paign of the Oxnard sugar factory closed
on Tuesday of last week with longer
run than last year by three days, and
record of having sliced 3,G42 tons more
than last year The percentage of sac.
charine matter is also considerably
better, and taken all in all the great
sugar campaign of 1900 is one that will
long remain as a surprise to the people
of Ventura county, who early in the
season hardly dared hope for the open.
ing of the factory at all.
A crop that can be raised in dry
year following two preceding dry years
and then make record in some respects
superior to that of a wet season is one
that should receive favor in the eyes Of
all farmers, especially when greatly i'm"
proved prices have been contracted for
the coming season.
This years run has clearly demon
strated that beets as crop are as
little affected by dry weather as any
that can be raised In wet season
there is a very heavy tonnage,
but at the same time there is a
very marked decrease in the sugar con-
tent. Many farmers have this gear ex-

fed with s to 10 tons per acre and the
higher percentage that accompanies it
than with yield of 20 tons with the
heavier expense and decreased sugar con-
tent.
On the very first week of the campaign
farmers were greatly surprised at the
result of their crop returns on sandy
soil, both as to tonnage and sugar con-
tent, although the alkali land did not
give as much promise. There were be-
sides enough beets on irrigated land to
swell the average tonnage and surprise
the whole valley with the first returns
The tests for sugar content ran exceed

through the entire two months.
From Oxnard and vicinity So, 14S tons
of beets were received and from Chino
and outside points, 4,017 tons, making a
total of 81 ,165 tons of beets received. -

BIGAMY IS CHARGED,
Weinberger Was Divorced Merely
According to the Hebrew Law.
Complications Followed.

An odd case was yesterday afternoon
tried in Alderman w. S. Millar's court.
1t was one with many puzzling turns
and twists. In October, 1899, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Weinberger, Of South Washing
ton avenue, We're Joined in wedlock in
New York city. Weinberger first, how
ever, went through the formality OF
getting divorced from a wife who be-
fore that shared his home. He did
not secure "a legal separation but was
merely divorced, according to the old
orthodox Jewish law. Shortly after
he moved to this city with his wife
and settled on South Washington ave-
nue..
All went well, until about two weeks
ago when wife No. appeared on the
scene, together with certain Nathan
Schlosser. The latter frequented the
house, threatening Mrs. Weinberger
with all sorts of dire things, and Mon
day Weinberger was taken before AL
derman Millet on the charge of bigamy
and committed to the county Jail. Yes
terday SchlOsser was arrested on a
warrant issued at the instance Of Mrs.
Weinberger charging him with surety
of the peace.
She alleged that he entered her house
January 90. and acted in such man.
ner that she was in mortal fear, he
declaring that unless he was given a
large sum of money he would have her
husband put into Jail. Although it was
not proved that any direct threats had
been made by Schlosser. still the fright
given the woman was deemed sufficient
cause by the alderman to hold the de-.
fendant in 800 BAIL

SAFE BROKEN OPEN.
But It Was Done by a Mechanic and
Not BURGLAR,

The immense safe at Hotel Jermyn
was locked Monday evening and the
memorandum Of the new combination
lately adopted having been lost, 1t was
found impossible to open it.
The services of an expert mechanic
We're accordingly brought into use. but
up to last evening he had only sue
ceeded in opening the outer doors, and
it is thought that another days work
will be necessary before the heavy
steel plates of the inner doors can be
opened.
This fact is in itself a striking illus
tration Of the progress of the times.
as only few years ago a skilled
cracksman could in four or five hours
get into the best safe made without
tho use of explosives.

O'Conneu md Massey.

Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey.
who was n sworn foe TO everything
that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the suffix mas" from all
words in our language and to substi-
tute tide thus converting Christ
mas" into ''Christtide," and so on.
When he had ended his Introductory
speech. O'COnnell got up and said:
'Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
mas why does he not set a good ex-
ample by anglicizing his own name?
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak OF him as Thotlde Tidey"
The house rolled with appreciative
laughter. and Mr.. Massey never recov-
cred sufficient courage to speak Of the
bill again.
