N EBRASKA AND THE FAIR.

The-- State Ahead of AU Others la ItsWork

The next ingctirig ttf thX NebraskaWorld's Fair commission will fed field1 irlLincoln Jari. 19. 1892, at which timeplanS arid spft'clflfeatiohs' for tho proposedNebraska building at the Win-Id'-s Fairwill be received, examined and adopted.At the last .meeting of the commission aresolution was adopted asking the arch-itects of the State to submit plans for abuilding with a floor space equivalentto 0x120 feet In size and two stories inheight, the eost when completed not toexceed S15;000. The first floor will con-tain tHejnairi exhibit hall, a general re-

ception room, three' office' rboms, toiletrooms, etc On the second floor willbe the rooms for the educational andart exhibits, reading room, anotherlargo reception room, two smaller re-

ception rooms, toilet rooms for ladies,etc. A proposition to receive in trust81,000 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 andunanimously adopted. This money hasbeen raised by an association of gentle-men interested in educational work inthe State, and no portion of the amountis to come from the money appropriatedby the State. Commissioner GeneralGreer was authorized to appoint suchdepartment superintendents as hedeemed necessary, with the understand-ing that no salary IS to be attached tosuch positions prior to the year 1893.Tho preparatory work has been ad-

vanced to a far greater extent than anyof the other States, and with tho begin-ning of the new year aggressive workwill be commenced and pushed with allenergy 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 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. -

Strike t oared oa the Etkhora.Alvin Pfeffer, station agent 'and

telegraph operator at pavey, has beennotified by tho railroad company thathe must sever his connection with theCrdcr of Railway Telegraphers or hawould be dismissed. All the-operato-

along the Elkhorn Road have receivedsimilar notices and . strike is feared.

age cost to the farmer of raising and deliv-ering at tho factory the product of one acreDf beets, U a yield of twelve ton ba ob-

tained, is 825.75. Taking 14 percent, as theaverage sugar content of the beet, whichwas the average per cent, obtained thisyear, the value of twclvo tons would be atIbis year's tcale of prices $42. Deductingthe total cost of the crop there Is a netprofit left of Sltf.23 per acre. For a yield ofiiftcen tons per acre tbo net proSt would bo521. 73 per acre.

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:

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.
