These tarin condition have conspirsd to

sugar Is nov ono and one-half cents par
pound less than Il was whom the Rocky
Ford factory was started. This year that
factory will probably make $4,000 bags
Of sugar. A shrinkage Of Sl.6o per sack
would mean reduction Of half ;a million
dollars In the market value OF the pro-
duct Of one campaign. Only reduced
cost Of manufacturing enables the CON-
pany TO stand such great reduction Of
earnings.
Another diseouraging feature OF the
business was the lower per cent Of sugar
content which has characterized the beets
for tho past three years. This was part
ly due to the plowing up Of much alfalfa

$56,OOO INVOLVED
PecuIlarities of a Will Causing Troublelto This Massachu-
 sets Drug Firm
PATENT MEDICINES

Taunton, Mass, April 10.-An ap- peal from the allowance of first and final account of the executors of the will of Andrew H Potter, of New Bedford, involving more than $56,0O0, and many important legal questions will come up at the general term of the supreme court in this city next week. The issues are complicated, owing to the fact that the will dis poses of property in which the widow of Warren B. Potter, of the drug firm of The Potter Drug and Chemical company, of Boston, had life inter est and which, 1t is alleged, was lot managed for the best interests of all concerned. Points raised by the ap- pellants concern the dividends paid for more than ten years by the drug concern, the claim being that only | part of the large earnings have been applied to the dividends.
 The answer of the defendants is that there was justification for the re- tention in the business of part of the earnings. Questions having an i'm portant bearing on the manufacture of certain patent medicines are ex- pected to develop.

District Attorney Jerome Makes the Effort of His Life 10
 Send Thaw 10 Chair
END NOW IN SIGHT
He Opened His Address By Saying That the Jury Has Been Roaming For Two Days Through the
 Fields of Romance

New York, April 10.-What bids fair to be the last day of the long
 drawn out trial of Harry K. Thaw
 began at 11:39 o'clock this morning,
 at which time District Attorney Will
 liam Travers Jerome began his sum.
 ming up for the people. For two
 days MT Jerome has been absent
 from the court room. leaving to his
 assistant, MT Garyan, the task of
 making notes of MT Delmas's re-
 marks, while he went over the evil
 dence and prepared himself for the efforts he will make. to-day. That 1t
 will be the effort of his life there Is
 little doubt. The case which he is about to close is the longest ever tried in New York and no other trial in American criminal history has at tained the prominence that has been given to this.
 MT Jerome went before the jury in an effort to have inflicted upon Harry Thaw the extreme penalty of the law. He has believed Thaw to be in- sane. but the commission appointed by the court under the law has held that he was legally sane, and if he is sane now. Mir Jerome will argue, he was sane when he fired three shots point blank into the body of Stanford White on the roof garden on the night of June 25.
 MT Delmas painted Harry Thaw as the model young man, who in a burst of insane rage, believing him. self to be the agent of Providence, put out of the world a man he be- lieved was a menace to society and who he believed had ruined the wo- man who afterwards became Thaw's wife. MT Jerome will contend that Thaw's act was premediated murder and that it was prompted by nothing more than jealousy. N
 District Attorney Jerome began by telling the jury that they had been through the fields of TO- nance for the past two days. He said the case on trial was not one of rape but one of murder. An appeal to the sympathy and passions of the jury was broad departure from the duty of counsel. There could be but one of four verdicts. murder in the first degree. murder in the second degree. manslaughter or not guilty because of insanity"
 The law Is not cruel one. It does not punish for the mere sake of It provides to protect those who live under 1t. Important as 1t is that no human life shall be put out unless justly, 1t Is equally i'm. portant to the community in which you and l live that the law shall be justly upheld.'
 He referred sarcastically to de mentia Americana" asking if it was Ihe highest law under which q man may Haunt the woman through the capitals of Europe for two wears as his mistreses and then Kill. He made ! fiery attack upon Evelyn Nesbltt rhaw. referring to her sarcastically IS the "angel child" saying. .'she seemed always ready to go to the hu- man orge. who had stripped her of Ter virtue"
 It seemed to him that the voice of he murdered Stanford White was .alling to him. Cant you say one word for me Must go down to the fires of hell unheard. undefended!" He then went into the character of Evelyn Thaw and scored her unmerci- 'ully.

MISSIONS WELL ATTENDED.
Women Braved the storm and Filled
 the Churches.

The women folks in St Francis Xavier and St Thomas parishes ap- pear to have got the worst of the deal with the men while the missions are being held. This week is for women and they are out in all kinds of weather. while the men have fine time spinning yarns beside the stove. Ideal weather conditions are pre- dicted for next week when the mems turn will come, but 1t wouldn't pay to be too sure about this. Who would have thought few days ago that We would have almost a foot of snow on the ground at this time? But what matter about that. The severity of the weather didn't deter the women from turning out in full and if the hardship was greater than they looked for at the opening of the service, the reward will be commensurate with the sacri- flee. The women are doing their part we'll and the men will have to hustle to beat them.

 Miss Margaret Katherine Bergin. aged 22 years. died at noon to-day at the family residence, 69 South Main street. She was graduate of the Waterbury High school, class of 1902, and of the State Normal school at New Britain. She taught school at Naugatuck until last June, when she received an appointment to a po- sition in this city and was assigned to the Webster school last Septem- Der. She enjoyed good health until short time ago, when she com menced to fail and sank rapidly until the end came. Miss Bergin was an exemplary character, bright, and possessed a disposition that made friends wherever she went. She will be missed by large circle of friends, who admired her for her honest, sim pie ways; but her loss will be felt most in the home where she was idol ized by her mother and the rest of the family. Besides her mother she leaves two sisters, Julia and Mary, and two brothers, Joseph and Charles. The funeral arrangements will be announced later.
