SUGAR BEETS.
iestiihonV Of Prof Slosson of the Wyo-
ming University, as to Wyoming SUI
gar Beets.

Professor E. E. Slosson, in cbarpe
oil the state experiment station at
Laramie, says that as far as SUGAR
beets are concerned experiments are
at an end. During the past ten wears
work at the station has shown con.
clusively that the beets can be grown
III Wyoming. Professor Slosson now
says that the sugar beet question is
now up to the people"
In the course of his experiments
Professor Slosson has found that sup-
ar peets require Il cold climate and
abuncant sunshine and grow best un-
der irrigation, all these conditions be-
ing met in almost every section of
this state. Another important aues-
ton has been settled in the course of
ten years of investigation there, name
ly, that of the effect of alkali in the
soil upon the sugar beet. 1t has been
generally declared that a small per.
centage of alkali in the soil is very in
furious. Professor Slosson finds that
where the quantity of alkali is very
considerable, enough to kill off all
other forms of vegetation, as is the
case IN some sections of Wyoming, it
does not in the least injure the sugar
beet.
As to where the most profitable To-
cation for a factory in Wyoming may
be found, Professor Slosson declines
to say. Lander has the disadvantage
OF being without railroad facilities;
the Big Horn valley has a new rail
road and would furnish a good loca-
ton; a factory in Wheatland would be
a great success, while the Laramie
plains offer all the requirements for
the cultivation of the sugar beet, to-
Sether with railroad facilities. the
purest of water and limestone, cheap
coal and an immence quantity of land
under irrigation from which to supply
a factory with material to work upon.

NELSON OBJECTS TO HOUSE

Lot Next to His Resi-
.deuce.

A war is on bewteen Building Inspector
Carter and a house mover named Charles
Barnum, and at present the Inspector seems
to hold most Of the winning cards. One
of the physical evidences Of the war Is an
old ramshackle house standing on movers
trucks, half in the street and half on a
lot, at Nineteenth and Pratt streets. Next
door is the palatial residence of W. T.
Nelson, lawyer and author of legal text
books. The ramshackIe house belongs to
NJ. F. Martin, a real estate dealer.
Mr.. Carter says hat II the house Is
moved upon the lot he will never issue an
other permit to Charles Barnum. Mr.. Mel
son objects to having his property depre-
oiated by the contiguity of such an un
slightly structure. and threatens to In
woke the law to enforce his rights. Barnum
wants to finish moving the house so he
can collect his fee from Martin. Martin,
piqued at Mr.. Nelson's interference, has
notified the building inspector that he pro-
poses to improve all Of his property on
either side OF the Nelson residence.
Meanwhile the house still stands on the
movers trucks.

WHITMAN DESERTS HIS BRIDE
Police MatrOn Little's Romance Hns
Sudden and Sad Termination
Through Soldiers Deceit.

J. H. whitman, member Of Company e
Twenty-second infantry, has disappeared
and his bride OF a week, she, who was
formerly Mrs. NJ. e. Little, police matron,
has applied to the police to locate him.
The disappearance of Whitman was re-
| ported to the police Tuesday, but a days
search has failed to throw any light on
his whereabouts. 1t has been reported
to the police that Whitman left Fort
Crook several days ago, due to return last
Saturday. He has not yet returned to
the fort and nothing further has been heard
of him by the officers there.
Mrs. Whitman is heart broken over the
action Of her husband, but stated yesterday
morning that she did not believe that he
has deserted her. Tuesday night, while she
was absent from home, at the police sta
ton, she said, Whitman had called at her
house, so she had been informed, and she
Is OF the opinion that he has probably
became intoxicated and will return to her
or the fort as soon as he gets sober. The
police, however, have failed to secure any
trace of him and are Of the opinion that
he is not In the city. Whitman informed
his wife that his term of enlistment In
the army would expire in about two weeks,
at which time, he and she would go to
| Chicago, where he had been offered a lucra-
| tive position in the machin shops. On
the strength of this Mrs. Whitman re-
signed her position as police matron, and 1t
has been accepted, and she will not be
reinstated. Her case is particularly sad.
because she is left without a position and
has three small children to support.
Whitman and Mrs. Little were married
secretly in Council Bluffs last wednesday.
and no one knew of it until Monday, when
she announced to the chief Of police, her
intention to resign. Whitman she said,
had been a boyhood friend in the
east. but that they had been separated for
a number of years, during which time she
married Mr.. Little. When the Twenty
second, of which he was a member, re-
turned, she and Whitman renewed their
love AFFAIR of the old days and their mar
riage was the result.

IG'S HONOR is UNTARNISHED
Declines TO Hold Communication with
Johnnie Wright, save in Press
ence of witnesses.

Ignatius Jehovah Dunn, deputy county at
torney in and for Douglas county. Ne
braska,' is a very cautious man, which
perhaps explains an incident that occurred
in his office Tuesday.
When the case against Police Officer Mar
tin Shells. charged with ~assautling Vic
tor B. Walker, was called in criminal
court Monday, Charles Mars, a colored
man who was to appear as one Of the
witnesses for Walker, was absent, and
Dunn had disquieting suspicious that he
had departed to remain ava permanently,
and this became the general rumor. 1t
developed later, however, that Mars is a
porter on a sleeping car and that he had
gone west with the Shriners, understand
ing that the case would not be called
for some time. When Johnnie Wright, his
bondsman, heard Of Dunn's alarm and
threat to sue on the bond, he went to
Dunn's office with a friend to explain
matters to the latter. The friend who
knew Dunn introduced Mr.. Wright, and
then started to leave the room on business
Of his own. But I~gnatius saw in this
simple proceeding a dark plot to attempt
to corrupt hin and perhaps to defame
him. He thought of his sacred honor, of
his responsible position and of the day
when he should be county attorney with
two office rooms, a stenographer and a
messenger to do his running about for
him Rising to his feet with flaming
eyes and uplifted arm he is said to have
shouted:
Stop! a not one step toward yonder
Goor or by heaven I'll follow thee! l per-
ceive the motive in this, and as God lives !
will not be outwitted by such as you. I am
a lawyer, but l still have honor; that honor
l will protect at any cost. If you go, I'll
say no word to Johnnie Wright nor listen
to aught he may say to me, for 1 suspect
that he would fain corrupt me with paltry
brides or else would go forth and tell to the
world that l sacrificed the dignity Of my
office and glory of my name by making sim
liar offers to him. I'll have none of it. You
stay or / go with you'll"
Wright's friend stayed, the purpose of the
visit was explained in detail and Mr.. Dunn
was finally Gained, agreeing to give reason
able time for Mars return to Omaha.
