COLORADO BEETs THE BEST.

The Orange Judd Farmer has
awarded it's prizes for the best
sugar beet production last year
Colorado won virtually all of the
prizes and j. w. Bellew of Rocky
Ford captured the grand prize.
The largest yield of beets re-
ported was 1854 pounds, net
weight of dressed beets grown on
one acre, by d. V. Burrell of
Rocky Ford, or little more than
thirty-nine tons.
The next largest was 1895
pounds, net weight of dressed
beets from one acre raised by j.
w. Bellew, also of Rocky Ford
These average 16 per cent sugar,
containing | 1868 pounds of sugar
with purity of over 80 per cent.
This crop yielded nearly five tons
of refined granualated sugar from
one acre. Bellew WAS paid $l57A
for this, while the cost of raising
it Qncluding 6 per cent interest on
land worth 1925 per acre. was
$63 80, leaving profit of $9334
Mr.. Bellew WAS awarded the grand
prizes of 5000 in gold.
There were eighteen other prize
winners in Colorado, who will re-
ceive upwards of $1,000 in prize
mo ney.
The average yield of prize win
ners in California last year in the
contest was twenty-one tons of
beets per acre, in Utah twenty
tons, Nebraska thirteen tons, while

marvellous average of twenty-seven
tons.

Number the Houses.

If there is one particular thing
in which Florence is not up-to-
date it is certainly the lack of
properly numbered houses. For
instance, in many parts of the
city over the door of one house
can be seen the number that cor
responds with the 100 block and
the very next door will have a
number to correspond with the
200 block. This proves an an
noyance to stranger in the city
and otherwise causes confusion.
If the holders of residence prop
critics care 30 to do they can learn
the number of their lot or house by
visiting the office of the city clerk
and consulting the map of the city.
An authentic directory of Flor
ence is being compiled by Messrs.
Wolfe & Yeager and they report
much difficulty in gathering their
Information. The council year
ago made request that property
holders look into the matter and
see that their property is properly
numbered.
There is one thing about it, we
will not have the free mail delivery
system inaugurated until this is
done, 30 the earlier the better.

Horses are very scarce here and
demand good prices. One OF our
customers brought us a sample of
some clover hay last night, it
was of the Alsack Clover, it
measured 5 feet tall and made 3
tons of hay to an acre. A farm
mer here that has from 20 to IS
head of cattle has to work all
summer to provide feed for the
winter for them and work all
winter to divide the feed out to
his stock and to haul manure on
the field, so as to be to raise the
next crop. Rye is all cut now,
oats are ready to be cut, There
is very little wheat but what
there is, is very nice. Corn they
say is very nice in Custer. They
would call it poor. Farmers here
cultivate ther corn from 3 to g

good crop. Yours truly,

shouldn't Prof. Hiatt and others,

some very nice weather here.

cratic state convention in 1891,
is no longer a debatable question.
Instead of fulfilling the grand
work which its founders intended
and which the rank and file in
tended, the pop organization in
this state has been used as a
mere toy for democrats to play
with. Up to 1895 Mr.. Bryan had
no party following in Nebraska
worth mentioning. He was too
much of a democrat to become a
pop, but he aspired to national
leadership, and wanted a pres
tiage," following" to stay
him up in his struggles, not for
populist principles, but for the
supremacy of Bryan in the demo-
cratic party, To obtain this
prestige for Bryan, fusion was
born. To maintain the pres
tiage' for Bryan, populism was
killed.
Saltpeter won't save the party,
Bryan don't want to, and the
fusionists can't. Yet they blum
der ahead, blindly and without
hope, still following the I'M
certain footsteps of a democratic
politician who has been twice
repudiated by the sober sense of
the American people, and twice
turned down by the cool judg-
ment of his own party.
No one expects a democrat to
read, but the time has come when
evere fusion pop should be able
to read on every signboard, in
every highway, and at every
crossroads, these words

Boyle that year he said: 1--WE
must accept the inevitable. y
There is only one year to wait
and fusion will be all over.
There will be but two parties,
and the recognizek leaders of
the democratic party now, will
be recognized leaders then. Sub
NIT gracefully"
When the fusionists met at
Grand Island, hauled down the
populist flag, hoisted the foul
rag of the democratic party
and nominated upon a platform
acceptable to democrats, a dem
ocrat for governor, who acted as
democratic state committeeman
under Cleveland and opposed
KEN in his first campaign for
congress, they not only humilat-
ed and insulted every self-respect-
ing populist in the state but
turned the last screw in the
coffin lid of the once proud pop
ulist party of Nebraska.
When the fusion BOSSES of
Custer county met in convention
and at the solicitation of mere
handful of democratic allies
call lies, hauled down the
populist flag in the county which
gave the party birth and nursed
it until it became powerful and
strong, when they adopted re-
solutions that no honorable pop
ulist cared to recognize as being
even of remote populist origin
and nominated lifelong demo-
crat to head the county ticket,
they not only sealed the party's
death warrant in this county, but
committed a crime against the
integrity of the party, its pied
ges, and its own membership,
unequalled in the annals of
political treachery and dishonor.
Platform pledges and resolutions
are the inducements offered by
political party for the votes of
the people. They are the party's
sacred promise to do specific
things, and are as morally bind
ing upon political party as any
pledge or agreement between
man and man.
But a few short months ago
the fusion and anti-fusion pops
met at Broken Bow in joint con-
ference, to arrive at a basis of
understanding regarding the flu
ture policy of the party. AT
that conference resolutions were
adopted pledging the party of
this county against any further
fusion in county, state or nation"
and agreeing to work on in
dependent lines. AS a result of
the adoption of these resolutions
and with this understanding. the
mid-roaderS were induced to dis
band their organization, retire
their committee, and return to
the fold, believing that this
pledge given at such time, and
under such conditions would be
faithfully and religiously kept.
No one then dreamed that any
set of fusion "heelerS," no matter
how degenerate, would be brazen
enough, or foolish enough, with
in year to place the party in
position to be condemned by
friend and foe, as an unscrupul-
Gus liar and pledge breaker. But
it has actually been done, and
populists are asked to submit
gracefully"-in plain English to
become democrats.
Certainly party which is
guilty of breaking its pledges to
the people, and of practising the
meanest kind of deception upon
its own membership, is unworthy
public confidence or respect, to
say nothing of popular support
and the man who is following
such a party, expecting to get
reform, may as we'll hang his

RAILROAD TO FIGHT FIRES.
Will Dispense With Insurance by
Using It's Own Departments.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company has estab-
lished independent fire departments at
all its stations and freightyards' along
the Highland division, says dispatch
from Newburg, n. u, to the New York
Times. The company has taken the
matter of fire insurance into its own
hands. None of the cOmpany'S prop
erty is to be insured in the future.
They argue that if office forces are
we'll organized and have the proper
paraphernalia to fight fire they can do
it quicker and more effectively than a
fire department, which necessarily
loses much time in rea aching the scene
of a fire.
At the yard in Newburg the COM
pany has placed fire hydrants. Three
cabs are in the yard, each equipped
with $50 feet of first class hose. Be
sides the hydrants the company has
supplied the various buildings with
four kinds of eXtinguishers. and the
employees have been instructed in
their use.
The company has converted its in
surance fund into a fire department
fund. and the officials feel sanguine it
will prove as useful. Day and night
forces are employed at the station and
freight yards. thus giving the railroad
property continual protection.
