TONS OF BEET SUGAR.
We Make Half Million Every Year
in This Country.

We Make Half a Million Every Year
in This Country.
One of the most important Of the
industries developed in recent years
Is the production of sugar from sug.
ar beets. More or less desultory work
was done on sugar beets as far back
as 1867. In 1892 only six factories
were i'm operation in this country
the combined output of which was
a little over 27,OOO,OOO pounds of sugar
According to the National Maya
zine, there are now no less than six.
tyfour factories in operation with a
combined output of approximately
100000 short tons of sugar manufac.
tued from beets, with a factory val
ne Of 100000.
One most important factor has
been the production of a high grade
sugar beet seed. For years, Amer
lean growers have been dependent al
most exclusively on foreign countries
for our sugar beet seed, but for
three or four years past the depart
ment of agriculture has been encour-
aging the successful growth of sug-
ar beet seed in this country. It was
shown that the seed can be greatly
improved by breeding, tests of beets
from American grown seed running a
high as II, IS and sometimes 20 per
cent sugar.
The department is also continuing
investigations to determine the best
localities for sugar beet production.
When we remember that less than
one-fifth of the sugar consumed in
this country is produced in the State.
it Is plain that there is abundant OPP
portunity for development; and it
is certain that wherever sugar fac
tory is located labor is Immediately
in demand at higher wages and the
value Of farm lands increased from
Is to so per cent.-K.C Journal

A Horton woman has found a way
to keep cider sweet. Since there
are lots Of apples this year and plen-
ty Of cider will be made, her pre-
scription is worthy Of attention.
This is her method: Insert bent
tube alright into the bung, with the
other end In a pail Of water. This v
allow the carbonic acid gas Of the
cider to pass off without admitting
any air into the barrel A handy
way Is to I'LL the cask nearly full to
the wooden faucet and roll the bar
rel 90 that the bung Is down. Get a
common rubber tube and slip It over
the end Of the plug IN the faucet,
with the other end IN the pail. Then
turn the plug 30 that the gas from
the barrel can reach the pail.

There is a very strict law against
any British officer accepting any gift
from a native prince in India. Even
when a doctor may have performed
some serious operation upon a rajah,
who. being grateful, wishes to give
exclusive Of money fee varying from
f2OO to $1,000, according to the op-
Grafton performed-a present of a
shawl, golden cup or other similar
valuable, the doctor must obtain spe-
cial permission from the viceroy be-
fore he dare accept the present. If
any officer accepts a gift of any value
without such permission he may have
to resign. This rule was made be-
cause, In the old days, when the East

extorted from the rajah, were worth
much more to him than his salary.

ing Importance. Nothing was heard
from the court relative to the railroad
commission BILL which litigation has
been fully argued and is in the court S
hands.
In an opinion written by Justice
Bailey, the verdict of the lower court
was sustained in case where Mrs.
Rosa l.. Bruner had recovered $4,000
from the Hotchkiss Mountain Mining
l. Reduction Company for the death
of her son. Arthur Bruner was killed
by falling rock while climbing ladder
in the Black Crook mine, operated by
the above mentioned company. The
evidence indicated that the company
knew of the dangerous condition of the
mine when it allowed Arthur Bruner
and his brother to enter it, The opin-
says:
This company sent the two young
men into veritable death trap with
out giving them one word of warning
as to the dangerous conditions. The
rule that the employer must furnish
an ordinarily safe place in which the
employe Is to work was so flagrantly
violated in this case as to leave the de.

DEFENDED BY PRESIDENT.
Judge WiIfley's Work in Shanghai
HiQhIy Approved.

WaShington.-Preside Roosevelt s
defense Of Lebbeus r. Wiley based
on an analytical review by Secretary
Root o. the charges against him was
made public Monday. The charges
were preferred by LOrin Andrews and
have been repeated by him before the
House committee on the judiciary AS
the basis of Impeachment proceedings.
They relate 10 Judge Wilfley's admin,
istration of the United States court
for China at Shanghai.
After disposing OF each of the seven
charges by showing that neither of
them is the proper basis Of criticism
against Judge Whitley, Secretary Root
reviews conditions In the foreign quar-
ter Of Shanghai. sho wing that because
OF the heretofore lax American admin
istration OF justice there, affairs had
grown disgraceful. Judge Whitley was
sent there for the express purpose OF
reversing these conditions. Secretary
Root concludes:
THE circumstances thus presented
exhibit motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Whitley from his position.
They present strong probability OF
misjudgment. exaggeration and distor-
tion OF the facts on the part Of the law
yers who have personally suffered
from the changed conditions. They
make 1t clear that upon no triflins
grounds should our government incur
the public misfortune which would be
involved in putting the stamp OF dis
approval on the work for decency and
righteousness that the United States
court for China has done.
MY opinion is that Judge Whitley is
entitled. not to condemnation. but to
commentator and high credit for his
conduct il office and that the charges
against him should be dismissed"
President Roosevelt's vindication is
contained in letter to Secretary
Root.
He first comments that it appears
that Congressman Waldo of New York
stands sponsor for the charges.
Il cordially concur in your findings
he continues, which is to the effect
that Judge Whitley is not only inno-
cent, but is attacked solely because of
the fearlessness and integrity with
which he has stamped out vice and
crime in Shanghai.
1T is Gear that Judge Whitley has
been attacked not because he has done
evil, but because he has done good.
The assault on him is simply an i'm
peachment of decency and zeal for the
public good and if successful would
tend to COW and discourage every hon
est public servant who dares to with
stand the forces banded together for
evil and wculd do grave damage to the
honor and interest of our country in
the Orient.
''If the attack were to succeed, the
beneficiaries would be every keeper
of house of prostitution, every swind
ling lawyer. every man who lives by
blackmail and corruption in the cities
of the far East.
These are the people whose hopes
have been revived by the effort to
overthrow this upright and fearless
judge who has already done so much
for the good name of America in
China. 1t is not too much to say that
this assault CT Judge Whitley in the in
terest Of the vicious and criminal
classes is public scandal
