BEET men IN PANIC
Fear Congress viii Remove
Tariff From Sugar.
Industry Has Doomed Small
Towns in Kansas.

Larned. kan, May 29.-According
to c. c. .Is1ey of Cimarron. owner of
a big string of lumber yards through
the Arkansas valley, beet growers
throughout the Arkansas valley are
panic stricken over the prospect of
free sugar under the proposed tariff
schedule.
1.-The beet sugar industry is primar-
lily the business of the small town."
said Mr.. Isley. 1.-The sugar must be
manufactured within fifty miles of
the fields because of the bulk of the
beets and high freight rates.
THE beet industry has doomed the
little cities of western Kansas more
than any industry ever attempted
there" Mr.. Isley continued. "In the
last six years the bank deposits of
Deerfield, Lakin and Garden City
have increased over 400 per cent.
THE tariff on sugar is the only tar
iff of particular help to the west" he
said, land from 1t the west derives its
only benefit for money put up to pro-
tect eastern industries. Every north
ern state west of the Allegheny noun
tains has beet sugar factories except
Missouri and the Dakotas and within
fifteen years the beet sugar output of
these states has increased from 10000
to 100000 tons yearly
The suspicion that the sugar inter
ests in Kansas are owned by a trust
is absolutely unfounded, according to
Mr.. 1sley, who claims to be person.
ally acquainted with the men who own
these interests.

JUICE FOR TILLERS
Electricity for Interurban Lines
and Farms Expected.
Hutchinson Company Planning
Many Extensions.

Great Bend, Kan, May 29.-An cleo
trio transmission line up the Arkansas
river valley from Hutchinson to Great
Bend, with possibly an extension on to
Garden City, Kans., and Pueblo, Colo,
furnishing lighting and power current
to the various towns along the valley.
An interurban railway from Hutchin-
son to Great Bend and possibly beyond.
Electric current for farmers and
truck growers along the valley for ir-
rigation purposes.
These are some of the features of the
plans of the General Electric company,
one of the largest corporations of its
kind in the world; owner of dozens
of public utility systems in this coun-
try, among them being the water, cleo
trio and artificial gas systems of
Hutchinson.
Semi-ofhcial advice has been received
through parties in close touch with the
officers of the company stating that
these measures are bound to be put
through. They will not all come at
once but will be put through as oc-
casion demands. According to this adj
vice the General Electric company is
a believer in the future prosperity of
the Arkansas valley.

YOUTH COMMITS SUICIDE.
Edward Nelson of Winona Hangs Self
in Fathers Barn.

Winona, Kan, May 29.-Edward
Nelson, the 14-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Nelson, tenants on the
August Hedberg ranch, thirteen miles
southwest of Winona, was found dead
in one of the barns Tuesday evening,
death evidently was caused by stran-
gulation. The boy had taken a short
piece of rope with a nail fastened in
one end bent into a hook, and making
a loop about his neck, placed the hook
over a. board partition only about five
feet high, drew up his feet, and hung
there until life was extinct. The
hanging occurred in the evening and
members of the family testified at the
inquest that they had seen the boy
alive and walking toward the barn
not over 25 minutes before the body
was discovered. 1t would appear that
the dead boy had made his arrange
ments carefully and deliberately. and
chose a time when his absence would
not be noted particularly.
Dave Elmborg of Winona, deputy
sheriff was summoned and went at
once to the scene. A coroner's jury
was empaneled, but no cause for the
boys CHASTITY act was found.

of JeffersonvilIe. TIZ did it. Mr..
Crockett says: After the second treat
ment she walked downstairs one foot
at time. She had not been able to
walk downstairs before in past five
years; except by stepping down on
each step with one foot at a time.
This is remarkable. Send five more
boxes.

them clean You will feel better the
first time it's used. Use 1t a week and
you can forget you ever had sore feet.
There is nothing on earth that can

as good as TIZ,' ask why, if it is
just as good. they don't dare to come
out and advertise it Don't you be a

SLOT MACHINE BEER.
Would Connect Leavenworth and Dry
dale With Pipes.

Leavenworth, Kan, May pa new
problem will confront the Kansas Of
Gals in regard to the liqour business,
provided the scheme of an Oklahoma
man is carried out. A man giving his
name as James Snyder came to Leav-
enworth and called at a factory for
amusement devices.
Snyder's scheme was to have two
pipes laid under the Missouri river,
connecting Leavenworth with Drydale,
the saloon town in Platte county. Slot
machines would be placed in this city.
When man became thirsty all he
would have to do would be to drop a
nickel in the slot, which would travel
through the pipes to a saloon across
the river. A glass of beer then would
be carried back through pipes to the
patron.
Snyder says that he is determined
to carry out his scheme, although he
was offered little announcement

Charles Hollen experim tented with a
