man who is also so sorry that he dances
and signs to orchestral accompant-
ment.
Now the scene Is changed to New
York. This honest old farmer who
uttered such heart broken sentiments,
when his only daughter ran away, and
didn't care darn for the dollars If he
could only get his daughter back, i'm
mediately buys some green goods" of
the first man who comes down the
street. Honest old farmers always do
that when they go to New York.
And now typical bowery swell is
introduced. He and the villain are old
l.pals. Both confidence men have
Showed the queer. 1t seems the run
away girl really got married. and the
wife overhearing the conversation be-
tween the two, denounces her husband,
who Immediately proceeds to Kill her,
but is prevented by the honest bowery
swell. All this happens in first class
New York hotel, where such things
happen every day.
Then the innocent little (?) servant
girl and the honest dutch hired man
and the bowery swell all meet in the
street and have double shuttle to ex-
press their emotions One can always
see such things in the streets of New
York.
Then comes the saw-lnill scene. way
up In the woods of Canada. The whole
crowd properly danced all the way up
there The villain meets his wife IN
the mill, once more proceeds to Kill
her by pounding her head up and
down on the pile of sawdust, but to
make sure of her after she is senseless
places her on the slowly moving log
and starts the buzz saw. This is n real
log, real woman, and a real humming
buzz saw. Just before she is cut In
two in comes the honest old farmer and
rescues her. Down goes the curtain
amid tremendous applause.
In the final scene the villain is adj
dressed by his wife. who is sorry for
him, forgives one or two little things he
has done, turns the sheriff on the
wrong track. lets the villain escape and
all OF the whole crowd feel so good
they have regular Virginia break
down. Now 1t must be admitted there
are some redeeming features of this
show, The dancing is actually good.
The orchestra is good one, and that's
all. Several of the jokes are actually
nasty, so much so that one audience
received them in silence. Those VINO

RESULT OF A GOOD ROAD SUIT.
Nevada Representatives

Nevada Representative
The case of Mulverhill VS.. Thompson,
decided in the district court in favor OF
plaintiff, has been reversed by the SUI
preme court. The parties to this case
all reside In Richland township; and the
occasion of the suit was that Thompson
dug ditch along the road, which ditch
ran water onto Mulverhill's land and
made 1t too wet The defense was that
Thompson was working his road tax
under direction of the road supervisor
but the plaintiff insisted that the direc-
ton was only a permission, which did
not relieve Thompson of responsibility.
The Issue seems to have been on this
point. Judge Birdsall in the district
court ruled in favor OF Mulverhill. and
the supreme court reverses him and
holds in favor Of Thonpson

SUGAR BETS UNPRoF1TABLE.
rf,nnncil Rl,lffs Nnnnareil. 4

Sugar beet culture has not proven
profitable In Harrison county according
tc A. 7. Flickinger. OF this city. who re-
Gently visited the sugar beet farms near
Modale and California Junction, and
was advised OF the true condition from
a number OF the farmers who expert
mented in the raising OF the beets the
past year.
Excellent crops of the finest kind of
sugar beets have been raised in Harri-
sen county this year, large share of
the farms In the western part OF the
county being turned over to the new
culture in expectation of greater profit
than had been obtained by the grain
sharvests OF former years. After the
beets were ready for the market, how
ever, the farmers found that they could
obtain but 81 or IS a ton for them Of the
beet sugar factory at Ames. Neb., one of
the largest in the country, and that they
had to accept the weight Of their beets
as returned by the scales at Fremont,
Neb.
Great dissatisfaction has resulted over
the deduction made for shrinkage OF the
Iowa sugar beets which. tho admittedly
Of the finest quality, were generally
claimed by the beet sugar company to
Rave been improperly topped or to have
retained an undue amount of dirt. For
these alleged defects the systematic loss
&C weights has greatly reduced the cash
returns on the sale OF the beets. and the
Harrison county farmers will return to
the cultivation of their customary crops
OF grain next year.
The cost of producing the sugar beets,
too, 1t Ia said. has proven far greater
than anticipated by the Harrison county
experimenters. The sugar beet fields in
order to produce creditable crop have
to be weeded as carefully as an onion
patch, which necessitates the employ
sment of much more labor than the grain
fields require 1t is also asserted that
the amount of money invested in Iowa
farms and the high rentals charged
make the cultivation OF sugar beets I'M
profitable in this part of the state. for
even tho an excellent crop may be OBJ
tanned, the returns are not sufficient to
pay for such use OF the valuable Iowa
land.
Sugar beets have not been cultivated
very extensively in Pattawattamte
county, tho considerable discussion has
been had at several times on the subject
among farmers and at one time propo-
s.tion was on foot to build factory in
this city.
