ditions for beet growing in this state
said Mr.. Allen. the beet industry is at
a low ebb. This situation might be
changed il the farmers and the people
of the state in general gave the in
dustry their support. 1t has been dem
onstrated beyond a doubt that beets
with a very satisfactory sugar content
can be grown in Nebraska and all that
remains now is for the farmers of
this state to enter into the spirit of
the thing and raise beets. The exper-
fence of the Standard Cattle company
proves that beet growing is the most
satisfactory and profitable business the
farmer can go into. During the grow
ing season we had families working on
our beet fields, which cleared from 81
to 50 per day. A farmer with large
family, or one who is good manager
and could economically handle outside
labor, could keep this money in his
family as an addition to the substan-
tial profit from the yield of beets. Be
sides making an excellent crop to ro-
tate with corn, oats, etc, and prevent
the raising of excessive crops of those
cereals, beet sugar making will serve
to keep in this country the $1l6,000,O0O
which now goes annually to other
countries to buy sugar"

Annual Synod of swedish Lutheran
Church Mt Burlington.

From Mondays Daily.
The annual Augustana Synod of the
Swedish Lutheran church in. the Unit
ed States and Canada, will be held at
Burlington June 1925. There win be
delegates in attendance from all parts
OF the country, representing body of
250,00G people. During the sessions of
the Synod excursions will be run over
the different railroads leading into
Burlington, in order that members of
the church in the territory adjoining
the seat of the annual meeting may be
enabled to attend. All sessions of the
Synod with the exception of5one after
noon meeting which will be held at
the coliseum, will be held at the
Swedish Lutheran church. Local mem
beers of the church, at Burlington are
already making preparations for the
entertainment of the IT'S delegates and
500 visitors that are expected. There
are many more families in the church
of that denomination at Burlington
than the number of delegates, and it
is not anticipated that the members
will be compelled to go outside of their

Democratic Nomination.

G. T. Rinehnrt, at one time adver-
Using manager of the Courier, now
editor of she Newton Herald, was in
the city last Tuesday. Mr.. Rine-

he would soon announce his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for

he said, had been under contemplation
for some time and he had been hold
ing off the announcement for the pur-
pose of allowing Judge A. c. Steck, OF
this city, an opportunity to run. Mr..
Rinehart's visit to the city today was
for the purpose of comforting with
Judge Steck. The judge having assur-
ed him that he had no intention of
seeking the nomination, Mr.. Rinehart
will announce his candidacy forthwith.

said in regard to. it. The building will
be about thirty-five feet in width and
about eighty-five feet in length. The

SAVED THE N'SEYE
Delicate Operation Performed il
Ottumwa Last Evening.
STEEL SILVER REMOVED FROM EYE
Operation on Young Man From
Gladstone Nlines-Feat One
20 Feel Proud OG
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
An exceedingly delicate and very I'M
usual operation was performed in OF
tumwa last evening upon young man
from neighboring town. The young
man had received an injury to his left
eye, for the relief of which the most
modern and approved instruments We're
needed. After the operation the young
man was removed to the hospital and
has good prospects of retaining the
sight OF the organ, notwithstanding
the fearful injury to which it had been
subjected and which in the old days
would have resulted in the loss of the
eye in removing the cause of the
trouble.
About o'clock yesterday morning
Thomas Cathcart, coal miner of Je-
rome, a small town down the Milwau-
kee railroad, was engaged in his occu-
patton in the Gladstone mines near Je-
rome. Having occusion to use steel
wedge and sledge, he procured those
articles and inserted the wedge in u
ledge of rock, which he desired to
split in the mine. While hammering
on the wedge a small piece of thin
steel about one-fourth of an inch in
diameter, as sharp as razor's edge,
flew from either the hammer or the
wedge and entered the young mans
eye exactly in the center of the cornea
1t pierced the lens and embedded it,
self near the center of the eyeball. At
this time, of course, it was not known
how serious the injury was, but at any
rate the young man had good reason to
believe that the sight of the organ was
lost. He was taken to his home, put
on the Milwaukee train last evening
and brought to Ottumwa. He repaired
to the office of DR.. b. d. LaForce,
where the circumstances were told.
After the introduction of an anesthetic
to lessen the pain, the patient was seat
ed in the operating chair. AT this time
it was thought that the foreign sub
stance in the eye was Il small silver Of
steel. If it was there was q chance
of saving the eyeball and perhaps the
sight by the use Of very powerful
magnet. This has the appearance to a
layman of being simply slender
piece of iron about one inch in length,
attached to a handle wound many
times with wire, as are magnets gen
orally, and attached to a storage bat
1 terry. The point of this instrument
was inserted thru the wound in che

OLD Law LIBRARY.
Four Volumes Of Blackstone Formerly
Owned by ID. w. Price.

The law library of United States
Commissioner F. NJ Hunter contains
four of the oldest volumes of Black
stone in the state. The books tho dis
colored by age are well preserved and
do not give the slightest indication
of the great amount OF study to which
they have been subjected since their
publication in 1907. An inscription on
one of the fy-leaves shows that the
books We're purchased by j. Prentiss,
in 1911. Mr.. Prentiss was native of
Kentucky, but during his life practiced
law in st. Louis, Mo. d. w. Price, form
erly 4 member of the Council Bluffs
bar, and prominent man and attorney
of Iowa, purchased the books of Mr..
Prentiss, with whom he read law while
the former was at ST. Louis. For
number of years it is said that these
four books constituted Mr.. Prices law
library, but nevertheless it was suffi-
Gent to enable him to win an enviable
reputation in his profession. Mr.. Price
was a member of the constitutional
convention from the district embrace
ing Pottawattamie county. Mr.. Hun
ters first acquaintance with him was
in 1882. Mr.. Price was member of
the committee on examination of the
law class of the State university at
Iowa City, from which Mr.. Hunter
graduated. Afterwards Mr.. Hunter
went to Council Bluffs and became in
timately acquainted with Mr.. Price,
and later, after his death, purchased
the books of Mrs. Price. They were
priced very highly by the former own
er, who, one time when his entire Ii
brary was threatened with destruction
by fire, rushed into the burning build
ing, and saved the four little volumes
now owned in Ottumwa.
The books are bound in leather and
are exceptionally well preserved, con
sidering the usage to which they have
been subjected. The little volumes thru-
out contain several markings where
Mr.. Price, in his study and perusal of
the pages, has marked certain clauses
which are OF special importance. On
one of the blank pages in the back of
| Volume /. are number of compari-
sons of conditions in England, made
with those in America. They are made
in Mr.. Prices own handwriting and
We're evidently placed there during mis-
study of the law of one country as COM
pared to the other.

OBJECT TO DIVISION.
Methodists of Iowa to Determine an
Important Question.

kMpOrtant 0ue6UlOus
Marshalltown, April 9.-The Metho-
dists of Iowa have problem before
them which means nothing less than
big fight at the time of the meeting
of the next general conference in Chi
cago next May. The cause of the i'm
pending trouble is notice that has
just been served upon the presiding ell
ders OF the Upper Iowa conference by
the presiding elders of the Iowa con-
ference, notifying them that an at
tempt will be made at the conference
to change the present boundary lines
between the two conferences.
The present boundary runs from the
southwest corner of Marshall county,
east to the Iowa river, or the southeast
corner of Tama county, thence down
the river to Iowa City and east on the
c., r. l. & P. railroad to Davenport.
The proposed change, if perfected,
will make the limits beginning at the
southwest corner of this county and
extending on a straight line east to
Clinton counsy, then north to the nor
thern line of Clinton county and east
to the Mississippi river.
As can be readily seen this will take
considerable territory from the Upper
Iowa conference. fact that the pre-
siding elders and those interested will
not relish in the least. This means
that the contest for the loss of terrific
ny will be bitterly fought to the fin
ish.
The same scheme, or rather practi-
cally the same, on the part of the Iowa
conference elders was tried twelve
years ago and failed, and if the pre-
siding elders of the Upper Iowa con
ference are any judges it will again
fail when brought up in the general
conference this year.
The contest will be conducted SINH
larly to any legal contest, attorneys
will be appointed from the delegation
both to prosecute and defend the two
sides of the question. The hearing viii
be had before the standing committee
on boundaries, composed of about 12(
members, or one member from each
conference in the state.

THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE STATE
Other Ottumwans Get Part of the HON,
ors at the Meeting of the Grand
Council Mt Waterloo-Tbe
Growth of the Order.
f'rom TUESDAYS Daily,

from TUESDAY DAILY.
w. w. Epps, Fred w. Wilson and
DR.. I'll. o. Rogers returned this morn
ing from Waterloo, where they were
in attendance at the annual meeting OF
the grand council of the Royal Area
mum. All of ahese gentlemen were
elected to Offices high in the council of
the order. Mr.. Epps was chosen as
grand regent, the highest: Office in the
state; DR.. Rogers was elected for the
position of one of the grand trustees
and Fred w. Wilson was elected as q
member Of the committee on litera-
ture. The attendance at the grand
council was very satisfactory and
while there was no business of espe-
cially great Importance transacted, vet
the order was found to be in better
shape in this state that at any time
during the past four years. The men-
bership was found to be larger, the fl
nances in better shape and more ems
thusiasm has been displayed. The gain
in membership was found to be very
material in this state during the past
year.
AS whole the order follows the Io-s
wa showing. The membership in the
United States has just passed the 2oO.-
900 mark and the reserve fund which
is new feature, having been adopted
in August, 1898, and therefore having
been in operation but nineteen months
was found to be slightly over one mill,
lion dollars.
Mr.. Wilson says that the local coun-
Gil at Waterloo handsomely entertain-
ed the visiting members last evening
with a program of music, addresses,
etc, followed by banquet and dance.
The Waterloo council is esconced in a
building suited to a nicely for the
work of the order and for social enter
rtainments. and one in which the Was
|>terloo council takes much pride.

The bill creating department of
agriculture is of general interest to
the farmers. Another bill lowers the
interest of the school fund from to 5
per cent.
The anti-prize fight bill also became
a law.
\ bill recognizing the Iowa Ma
tional Guard passed both houses and
state.
A bill giving cities right to pro-
hibit gambling was passed; heretofore
the law only gave them a right to
suppress it.
Appropriations We're large, the total
being $1,400,000 for the present year
and $1,500,000 for the next year. OF
this amount a larger sum goes to our
state and educational institutions. The
State University receives $4,000 and
the State Agricultural $167,000 and also
one-tenth of a mill, each, tax for the
next five years for each institution for
building purposes This will raise
$550,000. The State Normal school re-
ceives $164,ooO, 100000 of which is for
building purposes. While the taxes are
high the ways and means committee
assured the house that the receipts
would be in excess of the appropria-
tons at least 100000 for the next BIZ
ennial period. IL was also decided to
finish the Cherokee asylum and
$360,00O was appropriated for this pur-
pose. The total cost will be $1.000,OOO.
1t will be one of the finest asylums in
the west, if not in the United States.
bill to establish another Normal
school was lost in the senate. 1t is
generally regretted by the friends of
education as it leaves only one Normal
school and that in the north portion
of the state. There is no doubt but a
determined effort will be made at the
next meeting of the legislature to es-
tablish one or more normal schools.
The appellate court bill died in the
senate in the hands of, the sitting com
mittee: also Cowles high school. Dill !.
The bill giving one-fourth of the stock
holders of corporation control of the
election of officers Was also buried in
the same graveyard.
A bill for the purpose of examining
county treasurers was also defeated
and the bill for the purpose of increas-
ing the levy for fire purposes, probably
one of the most bitterly fought bills
OF the session, was defeated.
A bill for increasing the salaries of
auditors and few other county Off
GERS was defeated. This bill if enacted
in the law would probably have in
creased the salaries nearly 100000 in
the state.
The above are few of the bills lost.

removed. Oculists and physicians will
appreciate the extreme delicacy Of the
operation and the danger single
false move entails. DR.. Herrick, who
assisted in the operation, says that d
case of this kind happens, perhaps,
once in the lifetime of an oculist or
physician and is extremely rare even
in the practice of those who are sup
posed to draw patients from all parts
of the country.

Building and Loan Measure.

This bill effects $13 100000 worth of
property in Iowa and is considered by
ZONE to be detrimental to the interests
of the building aud loan companies.

ney General Remley and TO this gen

also the bill consolidating the histori-
cal and library departments.

This will increase the taxes of insur-
