Sugar Factory Notes.

Every day sees thousand tons or
more Of beets unloaded at the factory
from wagons and Santa Fe cars. The
machinery is working smoothly and the
normal capacity Of 1000 tons per day
is exceeded during some twenty-four
hour runs.
The home office OF the American Beet
Sugar Company has this week been
visited by several high officials. General
Manager E, C. Howe came down from
Denver to look over the situation. Secre-
tary Hamilton made a call on Saturday
and again on yesterday. He is en- route
10 the Pacific coast factories. Mr.. Hamil-
ton is not afraid TO stop at Rocky Ford IL
he did induce the farmers to sign con-
tracts for 1000 acres OF sugar beets
three years ago II Mr.. Hamilton will
move here and run for office he can poll
very heavy vote. w. ]. Wayte. the
eompany's consulting engineer has been
here this week. Il is Mr.. Wayte's mission
TO visit all the factories OF the company
about the time OF starting that the local
management may have the benefit Of his
expert advice in correcting tho running OF
the complicated machinery should any
defects be noted.
Since the above was in type we have
learned OF the visit OF James T. Oxnard
OF New York. yiee-president OF the COM
pany. who was On route home from CAL
ifornia. He spen, two days with the
local officials here.
Tho analyses being made daily show an
Increase in the percentage Of sugar which
started out below tho normal amount
owing TO tho unusual moisture Just at the
opening Of tho campaign.
Yesterday and the day before score
Of prominent citizens Of Kansas were
registered at the e. Captain. They were
here at tho suggestion OF Secretary

Co.. who Is dosirous Of establishing ono
or moro factories In the Sunflower state.
Mr.. Hamilton wished to bring a number
influential Kansas citizens in contact with
tho sugar bee, industry that they could
sec for themselves wha, Il would do for
agricultural growth and development
While here tho party was under tho
ehaporonsge Of Mr.. Hamilton. Industrial
Commissioner Davis Of the Santa Fe and
C. L. Soagrayes. tho Santa Fo's travelling

factory and made tour Of the beet

IMPORTANT GATHERING OF GER
rlAN BAPTISTS.
Ministerial Meeting Of Southwestern
Kansas, Southern Colorado and
Northwestern Oklahoma.

Northwestern Oklahoma.
Tuesday morning there assembled in
Rocky Ford large number Of ministers
OF the German Baptist church. formerly
known as Dunkards. Many portions Of
Kansas, Oklahoma and Southern Colo
rado were represented by earnest, able
and active workers.
During the two sessions on Tuesday
the following program was carried out:
The Cause and Cure of Worldlness-A
Hutchison, ]. C. Funderburgh.
What Constitutes Prosperous church,
Homer Ullom. S. E. Delp.
The Elements OF an Effective Sermon
j. J. Yoder. Amanda Witmore.

Duties.-A. F. Miller. F. A. Vanlman. E.

Life Of the church.-Jacob Witmore. G
w. Weddle.
Why Do Not More People Attend
Church and What Is the Remedyp-A
NJ. Dickey. G. Neyinger.
How Can We Save Our Young People
for the Church?-Mishael Keller. S. j.
Miller.
In the evening Elder j. l. Roder
preached the missionary sermon. II was
an excellent discourse. many scripture
texts being quoted 10 sustain the argu-
ment advanced. In substance the ser
mon was that Christians have great
blessing in the faith they enjoy. and the
Bible enioins upon them the duty OF Civ
ing all the world the opportunity OF en-
braeing the same wonderful and saving
faith.
Wednesdays program was begun by a
devotional meeting al $50 followed by
breakfast in the large tent adjacent tc
the church.
Both morning and afternoon sessions
on Wednesday were devoted to District
Conference church business. Among
the items Of business was taking col
lection OF SS5.so for missionary pur-
poses.
Wednesday evening was devoted TO a
Sunday school meeting. tho following
topics being discussed:
Importance OF Thorough Preparation oI
tho Sunday School Lesson: by the
Class. ply the Teacher.
What are the mos, successful method:
Of teaching Sunday school class?
What should be the object Of tho SUM-
day school?
These vital Interests Of tho Sunday
school were discussed by the ministers
and members generally. and there was q
valuable interchange Of thought and
method.
While this gathering Of German Bap-
list ministers TO considerable deg, ct
corresponds with Methodist annual con-
ference. no business similar to that Of the
Methods, gathering is transacted. There
is no assignment Of ministers to cof;air
places. Tho NJ. E. church always has a
man for every charge and charge
for every preacher belonging TO tho con-
ference. Sometimes a preacher Is sent
TO u church he don't Ike. and sometimes

whole has proved is adap;ability Il

Baptist brother said that under the non
arbitrary machinery Of their church the

More Concerning That Bogus Sugar
Trust Special.

Two weeks ago the Enterprise copied
a special from one Of the Denver daiies.
being reported interview with mythical
son Of Manager Fr. Wietzer. This nom
existent son was alleged to have said that
the American Beet Sugar Co. and the
sugar trust had formed a combine to
raise the price Of sugar. In commenting
on this canard the Beet Sugar Gazette Of
Chicago says:
1.-The audaeity Of the author Of this
canard and the malicious falsehood Of the
dispatch are at once apparent when the
fact is taken into consideration that the
American Beet Sugar Company is the
largest producer Of beet sugar in this
country. and that the trust is unable to
fix prices as heretofore on account Of the
growing competition Of beet sugar factor
les. Mr.. Henry T. Oxnard has been the
most active antagonist Of the sugar trust
and is sincerely engaged in trying to
build up the American beet sugar in
dustry.
THE righteousness Of this report is
further emphasized by the fact that
should the price of sugar be raised to Y
or 9 cents per pound. it would i'm
mediately result in flood Of beet sugar
from European sugar producing eoun-
tries.
THE whole thing is bold fabrication
and clearly shows to what unsorupulous
and desperate means the enemies of the
American beet sugar industry will resort
in order TO accomplish their selfish aims.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
| it's value when taken into the human sys-
tenn for the same cleansing purpose.
| Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
| take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
| smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics
IN tablet form or rather in the form of
large. Pheasant tasting loZenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of il is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF the
benefits of charcoal, says: II advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; |
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although in some sense patent prep
aratlon, yet l believe / get a better
charcoal in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
