ATTEMPTS TO
PREJUDICE
Desperate Efforts Made By
County Attorney LIQUIDS
Enemies.

tits evident that County At
torney LIQUIDS enemies intend to
"get him" if they can.
A long account of the murder
of Matt Cannon appeared in the
Minneapolis Journal yesterday
under a Fergus Falls date line
luridly setting forth that the ex-
animation, conducted by County
Attorney Loud was a farce.
AS a matter of fact 81 witnesses
were examined and the examina
ton, according to those who
were present was a particularly
rigid one. Speaking of the mat
ter today Coroner E. H. Marcum
said, every effort possible was
made at the inquest to ascertain
the murderer. [ do not see how
an examination could have been
more searching. If Governor
johnson had conducted the ex-
animation in person he could not
have been more thorough in his
methods than was Mr.. Loud.

Mike Harris, aged 80, was ad-

state asylum at Fergus Falls,
where he was taken this morn

has been very serious and at
times ne has been violently in

The year 1904 was not good year for
the fire insurance interests of the coun-
try. The aggregate fire losses of the
United States and Canada for the year
just closed are put down at the immense
total of $25O,OO0,O00 in round figures.
That immense total makes 1904 record
year for losses, and that many compan-
les have been compelled to go out of
business is not astonishing. Of the in
crease in the waste seventy millions were
due to the Baltimore fire early i" the
year; Sioux City's great fire swept away
about 100000; Rochester lost over
S3OOO,OOO; Toronto suffered in excess Of
S12O0O,OOO; Shelby, Ohio, records 81 800
600 lost in one blaze; Peoria, 100000,
and Yazoo City, Miss, $1,800O00. In
addition, there were nearly a half-score

a million dollars i.i... -.

Now comes Governor Van SAINT Of

eminent in unjust freight rates are St

lect necessarily is theoretical rather than
practical. 1t is yet marvellous that each
and all of them, once enlisted in the
great conflict of their imagination be-

The great peril to the rural mail de-
livery system is not the cost. Even now
the country mail service is far from
equal to that of cities, and the farmer
can hardly be denied some little share OF
the good things, even though it costs
money. Neither is tho opposition OF
rural postmasters and other persons di-
rectly in Oerested likely to long Offset the
wishes of the great majority. The only
real danger is the attempt made here
and there to mix with politics. The mail
carriers are quite numerous body and
SO located as to exert an influence in To-
cal politics in various ways. Already
signs have appeared of little plan to
raise salaries, which scheme was broken
up by the prompt discharge of the
leaders by the postal authorities. Good
rural mail service can only be expected
when the carriers depend for advance
nent upon the good will of satisfied
patrons rather than on the wire-pulling
of congressional politics. A strictly
business basis is the only solid ground
for the new country mail system.

February 14-24 The course is open to
all persons over twenty five years OF age

farmers in attendance from AZ counties
of the state. This year several new feat
ures are to be added to strengthen the
course materially, and the work will in

THE SUGAR BEET PROPOSITION.
Various Phases OF the Question Discussed

Various Phases OF the question DISCUSSED
EDGERToN, Wis. Jan. Is, 1905.
EDITOR TOBACCO REPORTER: In your
issue of the 18th / noticed that man
from Evansville would like to know who
wrote the article in your issue of the 9th
with regard to raising sugar beets. l
will say that I wrote it but did not do
the subject justice, as it would not look
we'll in print. As for discouraging beet
growing, have no desire to do So as
any farmer can get discouraged enough
by raising one CROP and learn by exper-
fence as some of US did last season. The
GAINESVILLE Gazette informs us that the
Rock County Sugar Co. is honest and
disposed to be fair in all it's dealings, and
that the grower is entitled to every
pound that belongs to him, and that it
requires some faith iI humanity to do
business. | fail to sec how any grower
could have faith in humanity after his
first returns from the company. He GER
tainly requires any amount OF faith to
send his produce to market and take
just what the company sees tit to send
him; but after he gets his returns his
faith is like the amount of cash he re-
ceives, and that is very little. If the
growers believe all the statements pub.
lishen in the Gazette with regard to hon
est weights, what must be their opinion
of the men who own the scales In our
home towns and weigh our beets for us;
and the question is, what is their object
in making US think we have about 25
per cent. more than we really have? We
have the figures to prove what we claim
and the Gazette has it's hobby but has
ridden it nearly to death. We held a
meeting in the school house in district
No. 6 Saturday evening and there was
one grower present who was not kicking.
He had not got his returns yet and
therefore must have had little faith
left. We will give you his opinion after
he gets his check, as he was really lone
some among about fifty kickers.

noon and organized the Rock County
Beet Growers association, naming Dr.

dent: J. B. Humphrey OF Alton, vice
president: and f. FL. Bemis of James
Vile, secretary and treasurer. An ex-
ecutive committee consisting of the otfic-
ers and w. T. Olsen Of Stoughton, G. l.
Hesgard of Oxford, Theodore Decker of
Beloit, and John Collins of Porter, was
appointed to confer with the beet sugar
factory men and ascertain what terms
would be made with the growers for the
coming year. Members of the associa-
ton refuse to make any contracts for
| next season until the negotiations are
concluded and the representatives of the
companies entrusted with the work OF
securing the acreage are anXiously
awaiting the outcome. A big increase
! in weighing stations, more money per
ton for the beets, and share in the beet
pulp are among the things that will be
asked of the local factory. Much objec
ton is made to the system of taking cal
weights from the numbers marked or
the cars and there are other grievances
to be adjusted. When the refinery mer
