hundredweight less than cane sugar and
that during the past year the sales of
beet root sugar have been rs per cent
greater than those Of cane sugar. It is
also a fact that the price of sugar in
the Northwest has exceeded the price
in the Eastern market. This the sugar
companies allege to be due to a shortage
in the product here, but this is refuted
by the fact that the Western retineries
have been overstocl1ed for year past.
1t is authoritatively stated that the cane
sugar companies propose in the near fu-
ture to throw the entire product now
being stored at jobbing points ONO The
market at a greatly reduced price i his
will greatly embarrass the beet sugar
concerns. whose operations in recent
months have been limited with the end
in view of influencing tariff legislation,
their claim being that the beet sugar in
dustry is in it's infancy and is In no
position to meet reduced tariff. While
it is not possible to state positively the
intentions of the cane sugar inerests, it
is an established fact that that indus
try is controlled by a trust, while the
beet product is manufactured by small
independent concerns in various parts OF
the country, and the maneuver is in
tended for the financial embarrassment
of these independent companies.

WAS MURDER DoNEs
Considerable Mystery Surrounds tine
Burning of Aged Couple.
Special to The Globe.

LTTCHFIELD, Jan 3-The mystery
surrounding the cremating of the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Gorton in their
farm house northeast of the city, Tues
day evening, is still unsolved.
The circumstances of the Gre and many
other matters connected with the sur
rounding conditions gave grounds for sus-
picion of foul play Those interested and
officers of the law have taken every step
possible to ferret out any evidence
pointing to foul play Detectives are
working on what clews they have, and
what may develop is only problematical
AS yet no inquest has been held by the
coroner. The remains will be inferred

but Mrs Gorton was ordinarily well, ac-
tive and strong.
No one was in the house at the time
of the fire besides the two old people, ex-
cept a boy, aged about fifteen or sixteen
years The boy escaped without injury
and was found in an clubhouse when
neighbors arrived. According to the
boys story, Mrs. Gorton came outside
when he came out, but returned and was
not seen by him again. The two charred
bodies were close together when found,
showing that she had endeavored to res
cue her husband and had been overcome
by the smoke, or else they had been sit
ting by re stove when murdered, as
their bodies were in the basement, IN
front of the stove, in the front room.
The fire started in the kitchen part OF
the house, and was from one-haf to
three-quarters of an hour in burning TO
the end of the house where the oooles
wera found There was a door in this
cau of the house away from the origin
of the fire, and in that part of the house

Liquid Air victim

Special to The Globe.
HURON, S. D., Jan. 3.-The Rev. A. r.
Wander Las, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, of this city, is a victim
of experiments with liquid air. On the
evening of Dec Is. Prof. Davis, of Chi
cago, gave a lecture here on LIQUID air,
illustrating the same with many interest
ing experiments. During the lecture Mr..
Davis stated that liquid air is being
used to some extent by the medical fra
ternity for the removal of warts, moles,
cancers, boils, etc. and invited people
in the audience to come forward and
have a small spot on the hand frozen,
to remove a wart, boil, etc. The Rev.
Mr.. Wander Las believed the professor,
and having a small boil on his right
wrist had it frozen by Mr.. Davis with
liquid air. Since that time the reverend
gentleman has suffered intensely; so
much so that he was unable to preach
to his people or attend to his other pas
toral duties. The small gathering, after
being frozen developed into great
swelling, and gangrene set in, causing
intense suffering, and for time threat
ened to result seriously. Mr.. Wander Las
is now recovering, and proposes to have
Messrs. Thearle & Hanford, Of Chicago,
managers of Mr.. Davis and his liquid air
entertainment, pay his doctor bill, which
win amount to quite a sum; failing to
do SO, the dominic will appeal to the
courts for satisfaction.

MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT INTRO.
DUCED IN THE BEAUTY-EM-
POWERED WHITE HOUSE
OVER FIVE HUNDRED PRESENT
The Charming Debutante Was Sur
rounded by ThrOngs of the
Most Notable People in
the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of the
president and Mrs. Roosevelt was form
ally presented to Washington society to-
night at a ball given in her honor at
the White house. About 500 guests were
present, many of whom either were con-
nections of the Roosevelt family or we'll
known society people living outside of
Washington. Miss Roosevelt is the first
White house debutante since 1873, when
Miss Nellie Grant, the daughter of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant was presented to
society at ball which was the gayest
social event of the decade. Tonight's en-
tertainment was given a personal rather
than an official character by Mrs. Roose-
welt, whose wish was that Miss Roose-
welt should make her debut much as
though it had taken place in her own
private home rather than in the White
house There was no cotillion and con-
sequently no favors.
When the ball was opened tonight the
interior of the White house was most
attractive. Never before have the
floral decorations been more beautiful
When the guests arrived at the White
house they were conducted to the blue
parlor, where the presentations were
made, Mrs. Roosevelt introducing her
daughter. The latter presented a charm
ing appearance in a dress of white chif-
fon. with white roses and wearing the
jewels which her father gave her on
Christmas. Mrs. Roosevelt wore pure
white, with white lace and trimmed with
lilac orchids. Miss Helen Roosevelt, a
cousin of the president and who also
was of the immediate party of the hos
tess, wore white chiffon with with satin
ribbon, and Miss Cutting white lace
trimmed with tulle, with pink roses Miss
Roosevelt was the recipient Of many
floral pieces of beautiful design sent to
her in honor of her coming OUT day.
The president enjoyed the occasion
heartily, and mingled freely among the
young folks.
The company who gathered to do honor
to the daughter of the chief executive
was a thoroughly representative one Of
Washington society, and also included a
generous contingent of gentlemen from
Harvard, Yale and Princeton universe
ties, and other society folk from out of
town.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. 3.-Workmen
razing the old International hotel today
found, hidden between the floors of the
second story of the building, bones Of
what is believed to be an incomplete
human skeleton. 1t is believed the dis
covery of the CHASTITY relics will be the
means of clearing up a mystery which
for nearly a quarter of century has
baffled all attempts of solution.
In the spring of 1880 a government de-
tective came to this city for the pur-
pose of locating moonshine whisky
still which was supposed to be in opera
ton in or near La Crosse. He put up at
the International, which at that time
was the only first-class hotel in the city,
and which was one of the finest in the
Northwest. For over a week he remain
ed in the city, and at the hotel was
given a room directly over the spot
where the bones have been found. Sud
denly and without notice to anyone he
disappeared from the hotel and public
view No arrests were made during his
investigation, and some were of the opin-
ion that he secretly left for the East,
defeated in his mission. This version OF
the disappearance was afterward dis
proven. In spite of the thorough search
and investigation which was instituted
the mystery of his whereabouts was
never solved. The finding of the bones
revives the still deep mystery. Near the
bones a few buttons, one broken, We're
found, which strengthens the belief that
the government official was murdered
and that these are parts of his skeleton.
The bones appear to have been gnaWed
by rats, and it is supposed the re-
mainder of the skeleton was carried off
by the same animal.
