Big Beet Tonnage.
Hon. Geo. Austin Draws Down Over
$1,000 from SO Acres.

The farmers throughout the sugar
beet districts are now closing up their
records OF tonnage and acreage for the
season of 1904-5, and many very excel
lent records are being reported. Some
Of the best showings as usual come
down from Garland, and among the
list none thus far equal the record
made on the private farm of Hon.
George Austin On 1915 acres of land
Mr.. Austin dug l,527.22 tons of beets,
an average of Ia tons to the acre. AS
the entire lot of beets was delivered
by wagon to the factory, he realized
4.75 per ton, or a gross sum Of ST.
1925. Six acres of the land realized
% tons of beetS To the acre, a result
due the fact, as Mr.. Austin says, that
he poughed under his second crop of
alfalfa which was growing on the
land in August, 1904, and re-ploughed
it late in the same fall, the planting
having been done early in the spring
OF the present year,
Mr.. Austin will naturally exert him
self TO increase his acreage for the
season of 1906, and his land is even
now being put in readiness for next
springs planting.

CONSUMPTION'S WARNING

syinptoms,-DR u. G.. GREEN
The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average iu-
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives SO
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked
if the medicine used is Or. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
II is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent eNpectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect a curc-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Special Dispatch to The Call

CHICAGO, Aug. SIS woman respon-
sible for what barbarity there is in the
world?
Professor Frederick Starr of the Uni
versity of Chicago says she is.
In lecture before his class IN anthro-
pology Professor Starr put himself on
record as believing that in those races in
which children are brought up wholly un-
der the direction of the mother there Is
more barbarity than in those races where
the young are reared under the guiding
influence of the father.
A stir was caused in the classroom
when the educator put himself up as a
living example of the truth of what he
said The students regarded their instruc-
tor rather fixedly when he concluded his
remarks by saying:
II was brought up by my mother, but
IL 1 had been brought up by my father,
instead, 1 would not have been so bar
barous."
This statement was regarded by some
OF the seniors as a sort of apology for the
professors own eccentricities.
Professor Starr is known as a rather
peculiar character. He lives entirely
alone, except for the company of a Mexi-
can boy, and whenever the vacation pc
riod arrives he hastens away to the
study of some uncivilized race

YOUNG GIRL PLACED

Called Upon to Swear Away
the Life of Her UnfOr-

Special Dispatch to The Call

FRESNO, Aug. 9.-When called upon
to-day to swear away the life of her
father, Mary higgins, the eleven-year-
old dauhter Of Emmet higgins, who
killed Robert E. Deane on July 81,
burst into tears and leaving the wit

hand of the court bailiff, ran to her
father and throwing her arms about
his neck clung to him weeping. When
order was finally restored in the court
room the girl was in a condition bor-
dering on Mysteries and the proceed
ings were postponed.
The pathetic incident occurred at the
preliminary examination Of Higgins.
Beside her mother, little Mary was the
only witness to the shooting, but as
her mother cannot according to law
be compelled to go on the stand against
her husband, the daughter is the only
one who can give direct evidence as
to the shooting. The circumstantial
evidence points strongly to unprovoked
murder, but to make the case complete
the testimony of the little girl must be
obtained

this crack boat can do. Three years ago

Union Pacific Decides
Upon a Change
in Cooks.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, Aug. 9.-Can a white cook do
better cooking cooped up in a dining-car
kitchen than a black cook?
This is the problem which the Union
Pacific dining-car department has set out
to solve. For some weeks the colored
chefs have been gradually giving place
to white men. and the work was COM
pleted this week. There is not a single
colored cook on any portion of the Union
Pacific system to-day.
The question involved is, in a measure,
as to the relative Importance of skill in
cooking on the one hand and cleanliness
in methods and habits on the other It is
admitted that the colored mans cooking
may often be of superior quality, but the
criticism is made that he is slovenly and
less painstaking in his handling of the
food. Consequently he has had to go
until the road shall have had an oppor-
tunity to test the relative merits of the
white cook. The experiment is being
watched by the officials of other rail-
roads with interest.
An incipient stampede of colored wait
ers, among whom a report had been cir
culated by a mischief-loving employee
white men, has been checked by an Off
cial declaration that the colored walters
are to be retained. Assurance to this ef-
feet was given to a body of fifty colored
walters.

CHICAGO, Aug 9.-The grating pro-
clivities of the American people took
solid root in the days of Washington,
according to Professor Francis w. Shep-
ardson of the University of Chicago, who
declares this particular method of acqui-
sition is not so bad to-day as it used to
be-comparatively, of course-for the
country has grown considerably since its
father died
Professor Shepardson is a recognized
authority on United States history and
is one of the foremost historians of the
country His views on Graft" deliv-
cred before a gathering of junior and
senior students at the University of Chi
cago, were, at least theoretically, con-
vincing.
The present-day grafters did not ap-
pear so bad to the students when they
heard from the professors own lips that
graft, tainted money and vulgar com
mercialism all fiourished at the inception
of this Government.
''Why, Peter Faneuil, who built Faneuil
Hall, which historians have termed the
Cradle of Liberty was liquor dealer
who made his money by beating the
Government" the professor soemnly de-
clared.
There is also proof that one of the
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was indicted for smuggling" the
professor concluded, impressively.
