HIE BEET StCAR INDUSTRY What the Beot Sugar Industry Has Done for Grand Island. Colonel Hoe In eMli-ales the Merits of KalsliiK Mmnr Itcclt-Soiiie Tlat-ttrlnu; KcnuUm of Tins seiiHon'M t'rop-A l.nrue Factory. Colonel J. II. line, io lin.s lieen lately in (irand Island for the express puriMwe of informing himself as to the relative merits of the culture of siifrar beets in Nehraskn, ami the actual iiiolit accumulating from the inaimfacture of HiiKar from them, Hives nie Hi 11 the benefit of his personal investigation of the matter.

"I was at (irand Island last Friday, said the Colonel, "and learned, through Hon. Geo. II. Thuminel, that the com-pany who raised the subsidy for the Oxnards to build the beet sugar factory also agreed to raise beets for the company at about per ton provided the farmers would not do so. "The farmers made a signal failure last year in raising beets which paid them from to per ton, but not greater than in other things, and would not raise any this year.

It therefore became the duty of the subsidy company, according to the terms of the agreement, to raise this years crop of fleets, with the exception of a few far mers whom they were able to induce to do so, by offering about $4 per ton. "About live thousand acres were sowed last spiing but a poor superintendent, during the critical part of the neason, actually lost about $0,111 mi for ihe company through his ignorance in tending them. "It has been proven by experience that beets can be raised for about $." () per ton with profit and the Oxnards expect to pay more for contracts next year." It appears from what Colonel Hoe says that beets this year have done exceedingly well and have yielded a wonderful percentage of sugar of exceeding purity; some beets turning out as high as or HI per cent sugar, rated at from to Hit one hundredths pure. We will suppose for instance that the Oxnards pay $4 (10 per ton for the beets; they admit that each ton brings from $112 00 to and the bounty from the government is just about enough to change the beets into sugar. So that the profit to the Oxnards themselves is about H.OO per ton.

Beets average about ten tons to the acre and ii is easy to compute the immense profit obtained daily, when we are told that BOO ions are turned into sugar daily. The beel sugar industry in Califor nia is not a success and this failure is due undoubtedly to the season of veg etation which lasts the year around, The beets keep on growing and go rap idly to seed unless closely watched The result is that portions of a field maybe ripe for making sugar while other parts are undeveloped, and the Oxnards who have made a trial of one factory in California will experiment with no others in that stale. Three more factories would have been built in Nebraska this year had the bounty not been removed. It is understood that the company are negotiating for one or more such institutions in South Dakota, where we believe there is a beet sugar bounty. Mr.

Thiimmel is in correspondence witli wealthy parlies in the east who have intimated a willingness to put up a much larger lactoiy than the Ox minis if Mr. Thuminel will agree to take charge of it He says there is no doubt in his mind, from ihe facts learned from the Oxnards, that our soil and sunshine are as good for the beet sugar industry as liave eve been found, and that the leaders of this enterprise are entirely satisfied with the results obtained Mr. Thuminel prophesies that the country, within a radits of from "JO0 to 300 miles or uranu island, win mane the' sugar for the I'nited States in a few vears The Oxnards lost money last year, "but are accumulating a fortune this season, and an institution of a similar character in Kearney can do the same besides making the market interesting for Grand Island The Grand Island factory this year will more than compensate all losses of last season, pay a good dividend to the stockholders and place over in the general lund.

The act of arresting the Midway busman yesterday may be cited as an act of cowardice on the part of those who made the complaint md tends to obstruct the convenience if the traveling public. The Midway bus has oftentimes refused to take passengers. except those for the hotel, and on rainy nights when mud was deep at the crossings has withstood a tirade ot abuse lioin wavtarers who wished to be carried to their homes. It would be far different if a hack or other vehicle was at the depot but when such is not the case it is onlv an act of gentlemanly conduct on the part of ihe Midway bus man to accommodate the public.

No poison brings death with more maddening effect than ammonia, but that fact does not seem to discourage thesuicide.

The man Ilarrowitz, who deliberately swallowed a fatal dose of the drug in New Y'ork recently, is only one of the many who have gone the ammo nia route to death in spite of the ex cruciating pain. Dr. Blyth has re corded thirty cases of ammonia poison ing in the small district ot which he is health officer; Professor Mitchell mentions twenty-two cases, ami four have occurred during the short time Dr. Jenkins has been connected with the coroner's office in New York. Cases of slow poisoning from ammonia are of constant occurrence among men who work in its manufacture, or even in decomposing substances which give it off in considerable quantities.

Ammonia, slowly and from day to day taken into the system, causes the complexion to loose its freshness, and the skin of men who get heavily impregnated with it has a disagreeable blotched and discolored appearance. Taken into the stomach from day to day in even the small quantities used to adulterate food, siich as baking powder, it not only injures the complexion but attacks the lining of the stomach, and is the source of much general ill health. The recent rapid increase in the use of ammonia for various purposes, and the consequent increase in its manufacture, have made it one of the most easily obtained poisons and, although everybody is familiar with it in some form, there is a surprising amount of 1 ol its dangerous qualities I Its use as an adulterant in anv food preparation is simply a crime, and as a crime should be punished. Prices, combined with quality and durability, lend enchantment at the Nobby shoe store. oUdwtf For Snle.
