With the experimental planting of
beets at Garden City it was found
that the yield of sugar from the III Cd

higher than from the Colorado beet and
that stimulated the growth of the in

Chicago, Nov. 15.=During the last
five years 5000 persons were muir
dered in the United States. More per-
sons were murdered last year than
died of typhoid fever. This awful to-
tai has been due to the way in which
the law was administered. And the
law Itself is bad and inefficient 1t is
burdened with restrictions and techni-

MANAGER SKIPPED
Poor Sioux Baseball Boys Had to
Scrape to Get Back Home.

Two or three days ago six members
of the Indian baseball team, which
has been playing ball in North Da
kota and Minnesota, passed through
the city enroute for their homes in the
Indian Territory. When first heard Of
in this vicinity they played at Warren.
MINI. From there they went to
Crookston, defeating the team in that
city and the next day going down to
defeat before the Larimore aggrega
ton in Larimore. Thence they went
westward.
They suffered the loss of their outfit
and paraphernalia in wreck near
Rugby, N. D., and the manager. Harry
HomewOod, boarded the next train and
left his team without making any pro-
vision for their return and without
money. Between them they raised the
wherewithal to carry six Of them as
far as Kansas City, but two were
obliged to remain to work in the har-
vest long enough to raise enough
money to carry them home.
Although advertised as Sioux, there
was not Dakotan in the team. There
were representatives of the Senecas.
Pottawattamies and Cherokees. The
eyes of the red men flashed as they
spoke of the treatment given them by

Trained Litter Of Mice.

Mrs. Frank wife of postmaster West
Frank of Celoron, New York, has a
litter of about forty common house
mice which she has trained to do her
bidding to most remarkable degree
and which are source of astonish-
ment to her neighbors and callers.
They have been trained to do tricks
which seem almost Incredible.
Inside the building in which the
little animals are kept is wire cage
in which are arranged several articles
of tiny household furniture, bed, tables,
and the like at one end, and at the
other are miniature merry-go- round
with small horses, double-decked ca
rousal and musical wheel A stair
way leads up to little house wherein
is stationed little Dick, che mouse
ticket-seller.
At Mrs. Franks command the other
mice will seize a kernel of faxed rice
and troop up the stairway, place the
rice in front of the ticket seller and
rush out and jump upon one or the
other of the amusement features. Mo-
-tion is impaired to these by the mice
themselves and when the merry-go-
round is going at full speed, pete"
the bareback rider, will Chamber upon
horse and cling there until told to
get down and give some one else a
chance
After playing for time mouse will
go over to the dwelling-house enclo-
sure, jump into the little bathtub and
then climb out on the bed and remain
there moment to rest and dry before
attempting other stunts. When Mrs.
Frank calls out that it is time to go
to bed the little fellows scramble into
large box and remain there until
called out again.

had made up her little mind to know
all about the round bright moon
how it hung there on high, who nut
it there, who lighted it each night.
The simplest way to answer her was
the easiest. so she was told God hung
1t there each night and took it in each
morning. One evening after lisping
her prayers she looked out of the
window and saw the moon shining
brightly but about to be shut in by
heavy bank of rain clouds. In her
fear that something would happen to
her precious moon she suddenly ex.

To Shrink Linen.

For shrinking linen the following in
structions have been found to be very
satisfactory: First, after bathtub has
been carefully busted fill it about quar-.
ter full with clear cold water. 1t
should be first filtered IL it is at all
dark or cloudy. Then, leaving the
linen in its folds. wrap it in a clean
towel and allow 1t to remain in the
water over night. When taken out in
the morning do not wiring the water
from it, but leaving it still folded hang
it up dripping. 1t will take some time
to dry, but the material will be thor.
oughly shrunken and will not need to
be pressed.

Lessons Dangers Of Navigation.

A Berlin scientific paper tells. of q
new device arranged by a Swedish
scientist to reduce the danger of shall.
low water in navigation. 1t consists
of simple water kite. which is fast.
ened to wire cable and cast over
the side of the ship. BY reason of the
oblique pressure, the kite sinks rap.
idly as far as its cable permits. On
the side of the winch scale and reg
lister tells the depths to which the
kite has descended. AS soon as the
kite comes in contact with any solid
obstruction, or. shallow bottom, q
coupling is released which instantly
slackens the tension of the cable BY
changing the position of the kite; this
sets in motion an alarm bell on deck,
which attracts the attention of the
watch.

Whether the knowledge will spread

To Clean MATING.

To clean mating it should be first
swept thoroughly with a stiff broom,
following the grain of the straw, then
swept across the grain with a soft
broom that has been dipped in warm
water in which handful of salt has
been dissolved. Nothing brightens
colored mating so much as the salt
and, moreover, it goes far to prevent
it fading. The light-colored mating
should be washed in water in which
borax-has been dissolved. If any grease
spots are noticed before the mating
is cleansed cover them with a mixture
of prepared chalk wet with turpentine,
which, after being allowed to remain
on for two days, should be removed
with stiff brush. In the event of the
grease having sunk in about one-eighth
of washing soda added to the mixture
will be effectual. Sweet milk is said
to keep the mating in a good state of
preservation and 1t is only necessary
to use the application about once a
year.
