Swarm Of Bees.

If it wasn't for the height of the
thing the cupola of the new court
house would be a very inviting place
to rest and view the surrounding
country. A swarm of bees did not
mind the height and took possession
of the very top of the roof of the cupo-
la yesterday They were honey bees
ont looking for a location and selected
Parkersburg as the town and this po-
sition as the exact place. Hundreds
of them gathering in a swarming
singing mass. The noise they made
was enough to convince any one that
Jhey meant business.
Well, now men can't work with such
tenants in the house and they didn't
try to. Squire Drennsn puffed few
puffs of Tobacco smoke at them and
some of the workmen took poke or
two and away went the sweet bees.
They started in the direction of the
oil refinery, but it is hardly thought
likely that they will stop there.-Park-

map showing the beet sugar belt Of
sugar promises to become leading
industry.
In this country there are at the
present time 30 beet sugar factories
in operation, with a daily capacity of
1900 tons of beets. LiX new fac
tories are now being built that, when
finished, will add total of 3.1OO tons
five more factories are proposed If
sufficient acreage contracts for beets
with the farmers can be secured.
Charles F. Saylor. special agent of
the agricultural department of the
government, who has carefully inves-
tigated the beet sugar industry, says
of it:
Instead of crude material. the
farmer should furnish as nearly as
possible finished products. The prin-
ciple applies to the beet sugar indus
try. In no other direction has large
area of this country. east. north or

cially is this true of the Mississippi

Here is chance to hear the hum Of

A Guilty Mother,

The following is taken from the
columns of the Columbus PressPost
of recent date:
Five acts of stirring melodrama
were presented to standing room only
at the High Street Theatre last eve-
ming. The Guilty Mother" which
has record fCr packed houses, was
presented for the first time, and was
greeted by one of the largest houses OF
the season. From pit to gallery every
seat was filed, while the outburst OF
spontaneous applause showed that the
play well deserved the unstinted pat
ronage given it.
THE plot is interesting, intricate
and fascinating. 1t has for its basis
a sad story of mans perfidy and wom-
ans weakness; the old story of the
train of misfortune which follows
fault; the double moral standard of
morals, bring dishonor to the woman
and distinction to her oppressor. The
struggles of mother and daughter to
regain love and position are developed
in a logical manner, with fitting clim-
axes and with the tender thread of
love romance interviewer with the
story of plot, counterplot and intrigue.
Enough of the comedy is thrown in to
keep the audience in humor.
IAN of the parts are we'll played.
The company is strong, and is fortu
nate in carrying an immense quantity
of scenery with some realistic and at
the same time beautiful effects. The
Guilty Mother" closes its engagement
Wednesday evening and on Thursday
evening will be succeeded by Isham's
colored troupe presenting a three-act
musical farce, King Rastus'."

itorum tonight under the manage
ment of l.. NJ. Luchs.

that. Some years under poor crop
conditions some farmers NAV produce
as low AS five or six tons to the acre,
but these would be extremes in either
case. Going back now 10 our aver
age, the farmer that produces 12 tons
per acre. receive 5 S4S per acre for his
crop, or S6O on crop of IS tons. His
profits over and above all expenses
would be SIS on the smaller. or $50 on
the larger crop. OF course, the farm
er that produced % tons per acre
would have an enormous profit name
ly. SO per acre, or enough to buy the
best land in the state of Iowa. [
konw of no other single product which
can be grown on the farm to any con-
siderable extent that will compare
with this.
Farmers are inclined to look too
much at the element of cost, and say
that $50 is a snug sum OF money to
pay for producing an acre of any
thing; but they should consider this
as they would any other business
proposition. VIII the profits Justify
such an outlay? If so, the proposition
TO raise sugar beets is good one.
Before the farmer can produce fat
tened steers to any great extent he
must make an investment in the
stockers. And is il not a fact that,
after making such investment, he is
not nearly so highly compensated as
he would be IL he had made the same
investment in labor and expense nec-
essary to produce sugar beets?
Doubtless the experience of each farm
er himself will be the best answer to
lustration with the dairy COW. Be-
fore he can go very extensively into
this business the dairyman must first
buy the cows and build his barn. He
does this because he figures that he
is going to be gamer thereby, and
that is the one basis upon which the
farmer should settle the question of
raising sugar beets.
81 have studied very carefully the
history of the starting of all the fac
tories in this country. and without en-
ception it has been difficult TO get the
farmers in the beginning to contract
to raise the beets. but after an eX-
perience of one or two years il ceases
to be question as to who can be in
duced to sign the contracts, and be-
comes question among the farmers
as to who can secure the contracts.
"Another beneficial feature of the
sugar factory in a community is that
an outlay of $50 to produce an acre
of sugar beets means n large outlay
for labor in the vicinity, as the large
expense of producing beets is for la
Dor. In case of town of several
thousand inhabitants and the com
munity surrounding, it is fact that
everyone who wants work can get ii,
and | believe ii to he true that saw
ings banks in towns where factories
are located have larger number of
depositors than in other places on ac-
count Of the large amount of labor in
volyed in the production of the beets
and the manufacture of the sugar"

Progress Of Beet Sugar
Mdnst,y in This Count,y
New Factories Are Being Built, and Larger Acreage
of Beets Is Being Planted Each Year

beets grown in different parts of the
United States are grown under diff
ferent conditions which will affect, to
some extent, the cost of production
and the profits incident thereto.
Speaking conservatively, | shall lay
down some general facts which will
give an idea of the average profits to
the farmer in sections of the country
where beets. are produced under rain
conditions, and where the cultivation
is similar to that which would be nee
esSary in Iowa. for instance. A fair
estimate of the cost of producing
sugar beets in Iowa would be about
$50 per acre. This allows for every
element of cost entering into the pro-
duction of beets. 1t allows the farm
er $3.50 a day for himself and team,
and the laborers whom ne may en-
ploy $3.50 per day. A great deal OF
the work can be better done by bows
from - to 16 years of age at a some
what reduced rate. The universal
price of sugar beets al the factories in

use the minimum price of four dollars
in making this calculation. My inves-
tigation of the production of sugar
beets in other localities leads me to
say that Iowa can produce from 12 to
IL tons per acre on an average. OF
course. some years under eNtraordi-
nary conditions some farmers might
produce as high as 25 tons an acre. I

Homicide Saturday Night.


Saturday night last at the store
OF Walters Bros, near the cotton
mill, Mr. Will Evans, aged about
20 years, son of Mr. John Evans,
was shot and instantly killed by
Mr. George Eubanks. The ball
took effect in the left side of the
head just above the ear. The
young men were both employees
at the mill, about the same age,
and are said to have been good
friends prior to the difficulty,
which terminated 80 sadly and
brought such sorrow into the
homes of the families of the two.
1t seems that "a brother of Evans
and young Eubanks became in-
volved In a quarrel about some
uplmportant matter when VIM
Evans, who was standing in the
back door of the store whiting
with his pocket knife and llsten-
ing to the services at the tent, was
told Of it and asked to stop it.
He interceded and became IN
volved in tho quarrel himself.
After some words passing, and
fight seeming imminent, we un-
derstand they were ordered out of
the store, and about this time, we
are told, the shot was fired.
Evans jumped straight up and
dropped to the floor dead Eu-
banks went to his boarding house,
where later he was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Wilson and taken
to Jail.
Coroner Young held an inquest
over the body that night, and the
jury found that deceased came to
his death at the hands of
Eubanks.
The burial of Mr. Evans took
place Monday morning in our
town cemetery. The burial SER
vice was conducted by Rev Chal
mers, Fraser. When the grave
had been filed it was fairly GOV.
cred with floral tributes by the
friends of the unfortunate young
man. Mucn sympathy is felt for
the parents and bereaved brothers
and sisters in their sore afflictlon.

The Masonic Celebration.

The Masonic Celebration.
The big celebration of St Johns
Day by the Masonic Lodges of
Lancaster county, which came off at
this place last Saturday, 23d inst,
was a decided success in every
particular. There were between
1900 and 1000 persons present,
quite q large number of ladies
honoring the occasion with their
presence and assistance. A more
orderly assemblage was never
seen anywhere, however, it is
characteristic of Lancaster county
people to be we'll behaved and Or
derly and should always 90 with
out saying. In the early morn
ing threatening clouds appeared
but they were. soon dispelled and,
all IN al, the day was an ideal
one.
At II o'clock the masonic pro-
cession was formed in front of
Masonic hall, Abney Lodge COM
ing first, then White Bluff, Flat
Creek, visiting masons from other
lodges and lastly Jackson Lodge,
the chaplain and speakers-the
procession numbering 1872 Masons.
Headed by the Gold Hill brass
band, the procession was marched
down Main Street to the Kibler
corner returning on the opposite
side to the Cunningham Hotel
corner, thence to the Academy
building where it was halted, the
ranks opened, the spe akers and
officers passing through to the
stand, followed by the members
who crowded the opening about
the stand which had been reser we'd
for them. Benches to seat sew
eral hundred ladies had been
placed to the right, left and front
of the stand and they were all
occupied. The male portion of
the large assemblage had to re
main standing.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by the chaplain, tho Rev

the unanimous verdict of the mem
bers of the fraternity present.
D D u NJ, w Bratton DeLoach
OF Yorkville, was next introduced
and received the same attention
as the former speaker, and the
same favorable comment was pro-
nounced upon his discourse. Dur,
ing the intervals between the
speeches the band played.
Dinner was announced and the
800 feet of table, which had been
erected, was fairly grooming un-
der its burden of good things as
the immense crowd gathered
around 1t. 1t was spread such
as only the good women Of Lam
caster county can make. In quaint
ty, quality, preparation, ETC., that
dinner could not be excelled.
Dinner over, Chief Marshal
Crawford again formed the pro.
cession of masons and marched
them back to the Lodge room
where the Lodge of Festivities
was closed.
This ended one of the grandest
and most pleasant occasions in the
history of Lancaster. Many of
the people remained in town until
late in the afternoon.
