4 PEACE CONFERENCE
PROPOSED BY CAR OF RUSSIA.
Powers Will BE Invited to Send Repre-.
sentatives to The Hasue@Japan
Included In the List.

Vo"eHS VIII oe inviteo 20 Seno Hepre-
sentatives to The Hasue-Japan
included In the List.
St Petersburg. Sept. 19.-Emperor
Nicholas to-day again appears before
the world as a promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
ese war over, and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified. than his
majesty issues invitations to a second
peace conference at The Hague. That
the Emperor has done SO was learned
to-day from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to its authority.
1t is officially announced that the
Russian government purposes to nd
dress the foreign powers with q view
to the holding of a second peace con
ference at The Hague" but 1t is
known that negotiations preceding this
announcement that the governmen,
proposed to address the powers were
entered into especially with the United
States and were conducted with thu
greatest secrecy, there being not tn
slightest inkling that Russia contepa
plated anything of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here and that Russip
should plan a second conference de-
spite the steps already taken by Pres
fdent Roosevelt was also heard with
amazement. 1t Is clear that the step
could not be taken by Russia without
first reaching a complete understand
ing with President Roosevelt. The
fact that President Roosevelt is re-
ported as being entirely in sympathy
with the proposal and that he is said
to believe that to the initiator of the
first Hague conference should belong
the honor of convoking the second, and
readily and gladly acceded to the Rus
sian proposition, is clear proof that
the conference has already been called
and that President Roosevelt relin-
quished his part in it to the Emperor.
There is strong reason to believe that
the news even of the intention of the
Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al
ready been sent to the powers and
possibly their answers had been re-
ceived.
In this connection an interesting
question arises as to how the invita-,
ton was communicated to Japan in
view of the lack of diplomatic rela-
tions, but the invitation may be de-
layed until such relations have been
resumed, or 1t may have been for
warded through the United States.
1t was impossible to learn tonight
the proposed date of the second con.
ference, or to gain even an approx
mate idea regarding it, but it probably
will not be greatly delayed. Russia,
as the power convoking the confer
ence, will probably submit an official
program, the other powers submitting
suggestions

SUGAR FACTORY FOR BRUSH.
Citizens Celebrate the Success Of tn
Project,


Denver, Sept. ia News special
from Brush last night says, To-day
has been the gala day in Brush. One
year ago the Chamber Of Commerce
entered into a contract with the West
ern Sugar Company to grow ], 500 acres
Of sugar beets in 1905 and $500 in the
years of 1906 and 1907.
The sugar company guaranteed the
erection Of a sugar factory to be COM
pleted in time to handle the crops of
1906. The soliciting committee of the
Chamber of Commerce during the last
week secured the necessary acreage
with an additional plot of $40 acres.
In addition to the above acreage they
have 1000 acres subscribed by a set
tlement of German farmers in the east.
ern portion Of the county, provided
that a switch or stub railroad is
built into their settlement, which is
located about seven miles northeast of
here. The matter has been taken IN
with the Burlington railway and the
sugar beet company, and indications
are favorable for the building of the
branch.
The Chamber of Commerce gave a
free barbecue to-day to the 200 farm,
ers who have subscribed the acreage.
The dinner was served in Knearl's
opera house and the entire citizenship
tributary to Brush were present. The
general field superintendent for the
sugar company. Frank Secor. is here
and has personally examined every
acre Of beets grown this year and un-
hesitatingly pronounces the sugar
beets grown in this section the best
in the state.
This acreage only requires sixteen
acres of beets to be grown on each $50
acres Of land. and thus allowing plenty
Of chance for the rotation OF crops.
The worth of the crop now growing on
the 1900 acres is varionsly estimated
from 100000 to $3.50. 900.

REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular "Proprietary
Medicines"

The recent campaign against the
use of proprietary medicines, conduct
ed in the columns of The Ladies'
Home Journal and Golfers Weekly.
has evoked an answer from the Com
mittee on Legislation of the Proprie-
tary Association. The committee says:
In considering the question raised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines, every reasonable man will
admit that there is wide and legiti-
mate field for the manufacture and
sale of medicines already prepared
Tor general use and easily obtainable
at all times and everywhere. .
AS matter of fact these medicines
are not patented at all, and the popu-
lar use of the word patent in connec-
tion with them is a misnomer. Any
pharmacist will tell you that practi-
cally the only patent medicines in
use to-day are those which are manu-
factured either by foreign or domestic
pharmaceutical houses, and which are
now almost exclusively dispensed by
physicians or designated by them in
their prescriptions.
THE medicines which are now the
subject of wholesale attack by Mr..
Box and Editor Hapgood are the old
fashioned family remedies properly
described as proprietary medicines
They are the favorite remedies among
millions Of people all over the coun-
try; and. Notwithstanding the con-
stant effort Of some physicians to ere
ate prejudice against them, no one
ever yet heard Of any of the millions
of users of such remedies asking for
legislation or other action adverse to
them"

Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in Y pound pack
ages. and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you
. 12-oz. package 1t Is because he has
. stock on hand which he wishes to
Dispose Of before he puts In Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
f1ance and save much time and money
and the annoyance Of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.
The Dolores star., 1905-09-22

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
Of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that trial Of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because 1t is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand. but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs..
while all the other kinds contain but
~ ozs. It is safe to say that the lr iy
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
20 other. Quality and quantity must
win.

could be sent to this young girl to
brighten her lonely life, if there
were postage stamps in the Pass-it-
on box wherewith to send. Now,
look here, brothers, can't you send as
many stamps this week as your to-
bacco has cost you? Come now, don't
be selfish, spend a little for Sun
shine.
And Maye dear, never forget that
there are none too poor to do kind
deed. have kind generous, beautiful
thoughts and Sunshine in the heart.
Right Eere let's memorize these
little lines; put them in our hearts !:
IA sick man helped by you shall
make you strong!
A poor man served by you shall make
you rich.
Thou shalt be served thyself by
every sense of service which
thou renderest"
Dear Mrs. Ransier:-You don't
know how sorry and surprised l was
to hear you were sick, but hope you
are better by now, for l have en-
ioyed reading in the cozy corner so
much this spring, and last winter
too. and since / joined feeling like
| was at home.
[ think you are a Sunshiner sure
enough to be sick so much and never
mention it. I don't think [ can ever
make such a faithful Sunshiner, al
the ugh l will try.
You asked for some of the things
Sunshirers were doing so that you
might get some new ideas. I have
not been doing much of anything but
trying to be sunny with the little
ones. / have twenty-one nieces and
nephews, and am with some of them
almost always. I feel thankful to
say of that number there is only
one orphan. 1t is little girl. Ny
sister died and left her. February 8,
1905. We would be glad of any new
IDEAS you can give us how to raise
her up RIGHT. I must close with my
best wishes for you and the Sunshine
Society. If there is any little thing
I can do to help the Sunshine cause
please let me know. E. +.
/ think we will have room to listen
to one more 'Shiner. and Pm going
to share with you my letter from
across ocean. You remember my
having given you short time ago
the address of lady in Delft, Hol-
lard, who wished letters from some
of our Sunshiners here? a did not
know whether any of you would
write to her or not. and l wanted
her to feel what warm-hearted Sun
sinners we were here in the South,
so to make sure she should get at
least one letter (although l had
hoped you would fairly snow her un-
der with good sunny letters), wrote
to her myself. And when I read her
rely l did not regret the time it
took or the five cent postage Uncle
Sam made me pay to send her my
letter.
Now really you know you don't ex-
aclly deserve to read my letter (you
should have written yourself), but 1t
is so quaint in her broken American
language that here it is, read it, then
don't miss another chance for such
a pleasure yourself:
Delft, Holland.
Dear Mrs. Rainsier You can

in "Ransier Place" for a while in

Here it is quite else. Delft is a

ings. Ny husband has his daily bus
mess and is employed on Mr.. Van
Marshen's manufacturing. The
well-beloved Industrial here. I have
two little girls. The elder is six
years and the younger is four years
old. We all love so the beautiful
life of 1usticating and the little ones
took much pleasure as I told them of
your plenty ponies, goats, etc., espe-
cially the little horses, that was
incest of all. and they asked me all
about Mrs. Rainsier's.
Yes. [ am a native here. not an
American. Did you think it perhaps
because [ know Sunshine work? I
know Sunshine work only a year and
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-06-13

take much interest in it. I hope it
will slowly (she means shortly)
come here Now I am alone besides
my husband. So / have my Sunshine
in my own way. but as [ said, | am
not able to spend much on it.
You asked me the worth of our
stamps in your money.
A dollar has here the worth of
25G cents. Thus a Dutch stamp of
10 cents is 4 cents at yours.
Have you seen the Delft Ware on
the Dutch exhibit in st. Louis?
With most cordial greetings and
trusting to hear from you once more.
Believe me
Faithfully yours for Sunshine.
