The- - State Ahead of AU Others la Its Work The next ingctirig ttf thX Nebraska World's Fair commission will fed field1 irl Lincoln Jari. 19. 1892, at which time planS arid spft'clflfeatiohs' for tho proposed Nebraska building at the Win-Id'- s Fair will be received, examined and adopted. At the last .meeting of the commission a resolution was adopted asking the arch- itects of the State to submit plans for a building with a floor space equivalent to 0x120 feet In size and two stories in height, the eost when completed not to exceed S15;000. The first floor will con- tain tHejnairi exhibit hall, a general re- ception room, three' office' rboms, toilet rooms, etc On the second floor will be the rooms for the educational and art exhibits, reading room, another largo reception room, two smaller re- ception rooms, toilet rooms for ladies, etc. A proposition to receive in trust 81,000 to be divided into three prizes of $509, $300, and $200 for map-drawin- g, to be placed in the educational exhibit, was submitted, by Colonel Bills and unanimously adopted. This money has been raised by an association of gentle- men interested in educational work in the State, and no portion of the amount is to come from the money appropriated by the State. Commissioner General Greer was authorized to appoint such department superintendents as he deemed necessary, with the understand- ing that no salary IS to be attached to such positions prior to the year 1893. Tho preparatory work has been ad- vanced to a far greater extent than any of the other States, and with tho begin- ning of the new year aggressive work will be commenced and pushed with all energy possible. SUGAR BEET TESTS. The Result of Ksperlmeats at Schuyler, Neb., Satisfled the Moot Saagatao Ex- pectations. Prof. Maxwelt, who has had charge of the government experimental station at Schuyler, Neb., has returned to Washington. Tho experiments in grow- ing tho beets and testing their sugar producing qualities were not only on a fairly largo scale, but wero conducted in tho most practical and thorough manner. The result surpassed the most sanguine expectations, particularly with regard. to the yield. The crop of sugar beets raised at Schuyler exceeded the European experimental yields fully five tons per acre, and slightly surpassed them in sugar. There was over 13 per cent, of sugar in the whole crop. The experiments demonstrated that farmers can raise on the average fifteen tons of beets per acre at a cost of 83.25 per ton delivered at tho factory The minimum price is 84 per ton but the average is about 84.50. The profit will thus be seen to bo about 815 per acre, after al- lowing for labor, seed and value of land. The cost to European farmers Is con- siderably less for wages, but the value of their land is greater and they are obliged to buy expensive fertilizers, which are not required on our Western farms, so that there is very little differ- ence in the actual cost of laying down a' ton of beets at the factory here and in' Europe. That sugar making is profit- -' able to capitalists the progress of the' Oxnards in Nebraska and California' fully proves. She Was Very Mnch Abased. The police of Kearney are trying every way possible to obtain the where- abouts of Edna Clayton, a middle-age- d woman who came there about two weeks ago and obtained work as a'do-mest- ic with Mrs. D. W. Roe. She claimed Cairo, HI., as her home, and spoke fccl.ngly of the hardships she had endured, adding lhat her wardrobe had recently been stolen, together with 850 in cash, leading her poorly clad and penniless. She gave general satisfac- tion until one night last week, when she disappeared, taking with her valu- able clothing, jewels and money belong- ing to Mrs. Roc. Late intelligence shows that the woman is no common thief, but accomplished in the art. Killed at a Railroad Crossing. A. L.-- Ferguson and his wife were killed at a crossing west of Violet, Neb., on the Burlington & Missouri Road. Two sections of a freight train a short distance apart were bound eastward, and when one section had passed Fergu--o- n. accompanied by his "wife and baby in an open vehiclo, thinkiug tho road clear, attempted to cross, when the sec- ond section caught them and threw the whole party out on tho cowcatcher, where the fireman caught hold of them and held them until they reached Vio- let. The man's neck was broken, the wife lived a short time after reaching Violet, and the baby has died since. There was no mark except a scratch on the woman's face. A Wreck in Nebraska. A BPKCiAir freight on the Black Hills line of the Burlington met with a seri- ous wreck at H&mpton, Neb., in switch- ing to set out a stock car. A number of cars became detached and ran down grade about a mile from the station. The train started back after then, but reached them sooner than was expected and struck them with such force as to demolish four cars, killing Conductor Drake and seriously injuring Brakeman Edwards. - Strike t oared oa the Etkhora. Alvin Pfeffer, station agent 'and telegraph operator at pavey, has been notified by tho railroad company that he must sever his connection with the Crdcr of Railway Telegraphers or ha would be dismissed. All the-operato- along the Elkhorn Road have received similar notices and . strike is feared. Jt a ier Factory. Lixx)i.N ;has captured a beet sugar factory.

An exti act is given; Tho 'n.Vf.imi nt Ihn nrtit two Voar at Grand Island has sKcfwr! that a farmer can prepare and plant his ianu, ran iot ins crop and bring it to harvest time at n total ....... it n ami nt S13.75. which amount Includes the cost of seed and rental of a suitable seeder and full compensation Ka n.t te9 His nwn tlniA and that of his family and teant. To these Sgurcs must be added el per ton ior we cos oi nrTiri.-I- m tha fwxt and dnllverin! them at the factory, which flgure allows the payment of U cents per ton ior ireigni. It will thus be seen that the entire aver- age cost to the farmer of raising and deliv- ering at tho factory the product of one acre Df beets, U a yield of twelve ton ba ob- tained, is 825.75. Taking 14 percent, as the average sugar content of the beet, which was the average per cent, obtained this year, the value of twclvo tons would be at Ibis year's tcale of prices $42. Deducting the total cost of the crop there Is a net profit left of Sltf.23 per acre. For a yield of iiftcen tons per acre tbo net proSt would bo 521. 73 per acre. Ii' the beets bad contained this year, as they did last, IS por cent. Instead of 14 per of sugar, the net proSt in the Sret ice would bave been $22.25 per acre, and the second Instance $31.25 per acre. The different Items of expense, which make up the 31X75 which I bave stated was what the Industrious and Intelligent farmer had found to bo the average cost of raising an acre of beets are as follows: Plowing, ten t- - twelve inches deep. . .$ 1 50 Harrowing and rolllngtwlce 1 03 Seeding (including rental of drill).... 73 Twenty pounds of seed 2 00 Thinning out the beet-- i ' 0U Hoeing twice 4 9J Cultivating with horse cultivator. ... 1 50 Total. "" To which mut be added $1 per ton for harvesting, hauling, loading beets oh cars and freight at 30 cents per ton to the fac- tory. Mr. C. H. Dietrich, or IIasting3, who had but recently returned from Ger- many, gave some observations on tho manufacture or beet sugar in that country. He said there were a great many smaller factories costing all the way from 850.000 to 8300,000 eacn. These factories simply extract the syrup nr raw siiaar from the beets, and tho raw product is then taken to some cen tral refinery, lie stated that many oi these small factories, in fact most of them, were owned on the plan, in which the farmers owned stock in tho factories. Referring to tho bounty question, Mr. Dcitrich said that ho favored the payment or a bounty by the State, not only to the manufacturer but to tho producer. Mr. Deitrich also favored the employment of a State chemist at each sugar factory, and the employment of an expert in every county, to instruct farmers in the best methods of raising beets. Prof. U. H. Nicholson, or the Ne- braska State University, read an inter- esting paper on ''Nebraska as a Beet Sugar State." His address was an ad- mirable exposition or the advantages or soil, climate, etc., offered by Nebraska for the cultivation or the sugar beet. He discussed the question from a scien- tific as well as a practical point of view. Several delegates took part in the discussions which followed the papers read, and many interesting points were brought out. A permanent organization was effect- ed, with the following officials: President Geo. D. Meiklejohn, Fullerton. Vice Presidents C. A. Atkinson. Lincoln; J. O. Cramb, Falrbury; J. 9. Hoagland, North Platte: O. E. Adams, Superior. Secretary--- W. N. Nason, Omaha. Assistant Secretary M. A. Lun. Treasurer Maj. McArtbur, Lincoln. BEET SUGAR PLATFORM. The report of the committee on re9& utions, as amended by tue convention, was adopted with bnt two or three dis- senting votes. It was as follows: Whereas, The State of Nebraska in the year J 889 enacted a law for the encourage- ment of the sugar beet Industry, in conse- quence of which two factories were secured for Nebraska; which law was repealed in 1891, which repeal this convention regards as a mistake on the part of the people of Nebraska; therefore be It Besolved, That the material interests of the people ot the State demand that we. as a State, should practically restore the pro- visions of the law, and that the bounty should be restored in a manner just to the farmer aad the manufacturer; and be It Resolved, That this convention recom-mea- ds aad respectfully urges upon the next Legislature the enactment or a taw that will pay the growers of sugar beet la Nebraska for a per":-- 1 of Ave years a bounty of $X a ti rr sugar beets to be manufactured Into t..jar, yielding at least 12 per cent, ot sugar, with a coeMclent of parity equal to at least 89 per cent, r and belt Resolved, That there be also paid for a like period to the manufacturer of beet sugar la Nebraska a bounty of cent a pound for all sugar manufactured from beets grown in Nebraska, which shall aot be paid unless the price paid to the growers of beets by said manufacturers be as fol- lows: f 1 per ton for 12 per cent, beets, par- ity 80 per cent ; $4 per ton for 13 per cent, beets, purity 89 per cent. : $4 per ten for 14 per cent, beets, parity 89 per cent.; $4.59 for 15 per cent, beets, purity 89 per cent; and so on. Increasing 59 cents per ton with each additional per cent, of sugar; and belt Besolved, That the general government should provide a compete at chemist at each factory during the working season; aad be' it further Besolved, That the secretaries of this convention be instructed to furalsh each of our Senators aad Representatives la Coa- -l gress with copies of this report, urging upon! them the Importance of this enterprise aadl work.

Besides this, wordcomes from Norfolk that work upon theNewark is carrlod forward so rapidly thatIt will get away next week. ContractorCramp, who recently launched the NewYork, will probably have that vessel readyto be put In commission several monthsbefore the time required by the contract.In fact, activity around the navy yards andship building yards in the country is sogroat that it has never been equaled elacctho war closed.

The distress among the poor of Russia Jiasnot touched the MearMof many of the rich-est merchant of St. Petersburg. They re-- fe

bi subscribe to anything for the reliefof their suffering countrymen. An illus-tratloa- of

the apathy with which the appeals have been received is the tact thatthe collection boxes placed about tad cornexchange were found whetf removed to befilled with aits ol tin and pieces of paper,ta numerous cases the dealers; after re-ceiving exorbitant price) lor their grain.

HAD A FIGHT WITH GARZA.

Oae Soldier MUM aad Oaa lajared la aBhlrmlsh la Texas:

Advices from Rio Grand City are to theeffect that the troops from Fort Ringgold,onder baptaln Burke, of the Third cavalry,had two skirmishes with Garza's band ofbandits, who were seen crossing Into Mex-ico. Corporal Estrom, troop C, Third cav-alry, was killed and Lieutenant Hayes, cfthe Eighteenth infantry, was slightlywounded.

Ways and Means committee of the House,all except Stevens, of Massachusetts, andBryan, of Nebraska, who are in their firstterm in Congress, were members of theFiftieth, and of these all except Whiting, otMichigan, are recorded as voting for theMills bill on its final passage. Whitingmode several speeches upholding the tariffmessage of President Cleveland, andjwasprobably paired In favor of tho bill.Springer, the Chairman, always voted fortariff reform measures, but has, by pub-lished interviews, recorded himself In favorof passing specific bills to put a few articleson the free list and against a general revis-ion of the tariff by the House at thissession. The majority of his Democraticcolleagues have stated In public that tbeywere in favor of this line of policy at thepresent time.

Stole from Mrs. Foster.Mrs. J. EUcn Foster, while in the Senate

gallery witnessing the Plumb obsequies,laid aside her fur coat.

Swine Yacclaatlea Is Good.The farmers have been watching with

great Interest the result of a test of themethod of inoculation of hogs employed bythe Government Bureau ot Animal Indus-try and tho Billings method; at Ottawa;111. Fifty-fiv- e hogs were purchased by thegovernment and located on a farm, aadNov. 26 eighteen were inoculated by thegovernment method, eighteen by the Bill-ings method, and tho remainder left

Up to this time five of thehogs Inoculated by the BiUags methodhave died. All the others are alive and ap-

parently well, although deaths among thebureau's pigs In the near future wouldhardly be surprising, owing to the directexposure to disease. The farmers are hope-ful that the government method of Inocula-tion marks an epoch lu the history of hograising.

Equlvaleat to aa AcquittalThe report of the Chilian Judge who has

been making inquiry into the assault uponthe American sailors at Valparaiso, hasbeen announced. It practically exoneratesthe Chilian rioters, claiming that the Bal-timore sailor were the aggressors.

It will be submitted tothe Supremo Court for a final decision.Every step In the investigation is now be,&hurried up by the request of the geveiment.

SUGAR BEET TESTS.

The Result of Ksperlmeats at Schuyler,Neb., Satisfled the Moot Saagatao Ex-pectations.Prof. Maxwelt, who has had charge

of the government experimental stationat Schuyler, Neb., has returned toWashington. Tho experiments in grow-ing tho beets and testing their sugarproducing qualities were not only on afairly largo scale, but wero conductedin tho most practical and thoroughmanner. The result surpassed the mostsanguine expectations, particularly withregard. to the yield. The crop of sugarbeets raised at Schuyler exceeded theEuropean experimental yields fully fivetons per acre, and slightly surpassedthem in sugar. There was over 13 percent, of sugar in the whole crop. Theexperiments demonstrated that farmerscan raise on the average fifteen tons ofbeets per acre at a cost of 83.25 per tondelivered at tho factory The minimumprice is 84 per ton but the average isabout 84.50. The profit will thus beseen to bo about 815 per acre, after al-

lowing for labor, seed and value of land.The cost to European farmers Is con-siderably less for wages, but the valueof their land is greater and they areobliged to buy expensive fertilizers,which are not required on our Westernfarms, so that there is very little differ-ence in the actual cost of laying down a'ton of beets at the factory here and in'Europe. That sugar making is profit- -'

able to capitalists the progress of the'Oxnards in Nebraska and California'fully proves.

She Was Very Mnch Abased.The police of Kearney are trying

every way possible to obtain the where-abouts of Edna Clayton, a middle-age- d

woman who came there about twoweeks ago and obtained work as a'do-mest- ic

with Mrs. D. W. Roe. Sheclaimed Cairo, HI., as her home, andspoke fccl.ngly of the hardships she hadendured, adding lhat her wardrobe hadrecently been stolen, together with 850in cash, leading her poorly clad andpenniless. She gave general satisfac-tion until one night last week, whenshe disappeared, taking with her valu-able clothing, jewels and money belong-ing to Mrs. Roc. Late intelligenceshows that the woman is no commonthief, but accomplished in the art.

Killed at a Railroad Crossing.A. L.-- Ferguson and his wife were

killed at a crossing west of Violet, Neb.,on the Burlington & Missouri Road.Two sections of a freight train a shortdistance apart were bound eastward,and when one section had passed Fergu--o- n.

accompanied by his "wife and babyin an open vehiclo, thinkiug tho roadclear, attempted to cross, when the sec-ond section caught them and threw thewhole party out on tho cowcatcher,where the fireman caught hold of themand held them until they reached Vio-

let. The man's neck was broken, thewife lived a short time after reachingViolet, and the baby has died since.There was no mark except a scratch onthe woman's face.

A Wreck in Nebraska.A BPKCiAir freight on the Black Hills

line of the Burlington met with a seri-ous wreck at H&mpton, Neb., in switch-ing to set out a stock car. A numberof cars became detached and ran downgrade about a mile from the station.The train started back after then, butreached them sooner than was expectedand struck them with such force as todemolish four cars, killing ConductorDrake and seriously injuring BrakemanEdwards. -

Mr. C. H. Dietrich, or IIasting3, whohad but recently returned from Ger-many, gave some observations on thomanufacture or beet sugar in thatcountry. He said there were a greatmany smaller factories costing all theway from 850.000 to 8300,000 eacn.These factories simply extract the syrupnr raw siiaar from the beets, and thoraw product is then taken to some central refinery, lie stated that many oithese small factories, in fact most ofthem, were owned on theplan, in which the farmers owned stockin tho factories. Referring to thobounty question, Mr. Dcitrich said thatho favored the payment or a bounty bythe State, not only to the manufacturerbut to tho producer. Mr. Deitrich alsofavored the employment of a Statechemist at each sugar factory, and theemployment of an expert in everycounty, to instruct farmers in the bestmethods of raising beets.

Prof. U. H. Nicholson, or the Ne-

braska State University, read an inter-esting paper on ''Nebraska as a BeetSugar State." His address was an ad-

mirable exposition or the advantages orsoil, climate, etc., offered by Nebraskafor the cultivation or the sugar beet.He discussed the question from a scien-tific as well as a practical point of view.

Several delegates took part in thediscussions which followed the papersread, and many interesting points werebrought out.

A permanent organization was effect-ed, with the following officials:
