EDWARDS DISAPPEARED.
The Promoter of tho Band Entertainment
Leaves Town Suddenly With Numer-
Gus Creditors Loft Behind.

Several too contiding citizens of
Little Falls would, no doubt, like to
know the present whereabouts of
one F. Edwards, an alleged repre-
sentative of the Chicago Lyceum
company, who played quite an in
terestiDg engagement here. giving
some specialties that were not pleas
ing to some and not on the bills.
Edwards, by Misrepresentation,
induced the City band boys to take
him up in the matter OF giving an
entertainment under his direction,
the proceeds to be divided between
him and the band according to an
arrangement made. On the strength
CT this entertainment Edwards Sc
cured credit for board, borrowed
money and contracted quite a num-
Der OF debts during the two months
he was here. 1t was very evident to
any one who stopped to consider the
matter that his share with the great
est success the promoters of the en-
tertainment could hope for, would
foil considerably short Of paying
his actual expenses, to say
nothing OF the several small luxuries
Mr.. Edwards INDUCED in. Certain
promises made to the band boys
were not fulfilled Monday, the day
before the entertainment was to
have been presented. He was brought
to task on this point. Several per-
sons from whom he had borro wed
money were looking for him, and in
each instance he "stood" for d lick
ing. Board was long past due, and
he did exactly what many thought
he would do-he skipped. Just
how he got out OF town no one
seems to know, but when rehearsal
time came Monday evening he was
not around, nor has he been seen
since.
1t is doubtful If any of his victims
will send for him. He took no money
with him, and could not pay his
bills if brought back, and it would
only be an expense to the county to
the county to look him up.
This is another lesson to those who
are too ready to take up a strang-
err without recommendation or fl
nancial backing. About the only
consolation Edwards victims have
is that they have gained some
knowledge and experience which,
though costly, may prove to be
worth all it cost some time in the
future.

BEET-SUGAR FACTS.

The most remarkable phenomenon
that ever occurred in the agricultural
world has been the shifting OF the
sugar belt, says the St. Paul Dis
patch. In half a century the sugar
area has passed from .he tropics to
the temperate belt from the cane
region to the beet region. The
treasury bureau of STATISTICS has
prepared some valuable Informal
ton on this subject, in response to
the demand Of the country to know
just " here the sugar industry stands
in view of the possible changes
which may result from commercial
intercourse with our sugar producing
islands.
In 1S54-5 the total beet-sugar crop
! of the world was $4,000 tons. In
| 1871 2 it had risen to 100000 tons,
while the present crop year tits esti-
! mated at 100000 tons. Ithas quin-
tupled in a quarter of century.
The cane sugar production has not
quite doubled itself during that time
having been 1888, 900 tons in 1872
and 8, 1904, 900 in 1899. 1900. Never has
there been so striking a development
in any foodstuff. In the meantime
the price has been cut in two, the av-
erage in 1872 being 5.37 cents per
pound and in 1899 2.39 cents per
pound.
OF this beet sugar, European coun-
tries produce almost the entire
amount Germany furnished 100000
tons, or about the amountconsumed
annually by the United States. Aus
tria nearly equaled her, while France
produced $4,000 tons and Russia
nearly the equal of that.
In the United States the industry
has climbed from 255 tons of beet
sugar il. 1887 to to 41,347 tons in 1898.
The product fell off this year to 49,
$50 tons.
