Farmers of the Middle West
Once 3Iore Prosperous.
VIEWS OF SECRETARY WILSOX
Effect of Returned Prosperity Ap
parent Upon All Sides The S u-Csr-Beet
Industry.
Chicago, Sept. 1. James Wilson, sec
retary of agriculture, has returned from
a trip through the Western states,
where he has been investigating condi
tions regarding irrigation and other mat
ters which will tend to widen the scope
of agricultural industries.
Mr. Wilson is enthusiastic concerning
the agricultural future of the West, and
is confident that the hard times have
passed for the farmers west of the Mis
sissippi riyer. During hia trip through
the Western states he examined into the
conditions existing among the farmers.
He found that the latter had felt the
wave of prosperity, and that they were
building new machinery, making num
berless improvements, and are able to
pay off their mortgages.
"I have been through the mountain
states," said Mr. Wilson, "in order t6
learn what could be done regarding irri
gation in the range lands of Western
Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
parts of Idaho, Montana and North Da
kota. The principal object of my trip
was to ascertain to what extent the gov
ernment could add to the annual pro
duction by further irrigation. During
the course of my observation I have
found that these states have already
used up the waters in many districts
without being able to irrigate the bottom
lands. They are now agitating the
theory of damming the waters in winter.
"I have an agent in Europe at the
present time investigating the require
ments for heavy draft and carriage
horses and animals needed for army pur
poses. I have yery little doubt that if
the range horses in the Western states
were properly cared for they would be
able to compete with European horses.
I hope to bring about such a competi
tion and to make the market for Ameri
can horses lively in European coun
tries. "During my trip I found a very ex
tensive interest in growing sugar beets
to make sugar. Grand Island, Neb., is
on the edge of the dry belt. Sugar beets
is one crop that grows independently of
droughts. About 3000 to 4000 acres are
necessary to cultivate a sufficient crop of
beets to keep a factory in operation.
The dry product, or the pulp, is not be
ing used to the best advantage. At
Grand Rapids and Lemhi, Utah, it is
fed to range steers. The amount of it
that would make two pounds of gain in
a first-class steer worth or 7 cents,
would make a pound of butter, but such
has not occurred to the sugar-beet grow
ers." Progress of the Xenteert Trial.
Chicago, Sept. 1. Interest in the
Luttgert trial was unabated today.
When court opened Attorney Vincent
began the cross-examination of Bialk.
He testified that since May 16th he had
been with Officer Klinger, Hying at his
house and paying no board. Inspector
Scbaak had provided means for his wife
to live and pay the rent.
Bialk regarded the actions of hia em
ployer on the night of May 1st as sus
picious because he turned steam into
the basement at 9 o'clock. He' said
Luetgert had barricaded the door lead
ing directly from the boiler-room when
he went to the basement, although there
"My Ears
were badiv sunburned. I used Gar
land's Happy Thought Salve, and it
cared them in short order."
Edwin Tsrbexi,, Sunnydale, Wash.
"It is a grand thing for sunburn and
tan. I never used anything better."
Mes. Potts, Tacorna, Wash.
"One jar of Garland's Happy Thought
Salve cared me entirely of the severest
case of sunburn I ever had. I have re
commended it to mv friends, who have
all been benefited by it."

Benton Ave., Seattle, Wash.

was another route by which he colud
have walked into the basement. He
did not go in, he said, because Leutgerl
had told him to go back to his fires after
he had delivered the second bottle of
medicine to him.
Belle Carmen May Die.
Chicago, Sept. 1. Mrs. George Mid-
dleton's furious assault on Miss Belle
Carmen Monday night may result in the
actress' death. The police have taken
her ante-mortem statement. Her as
sailant's hearing is set for September
12th. and she is out on bonds. The
friends of Miss. Carmen think Mrs. Mid
dleton has been treated too leniently, and
have sworn out two new warrants.
Miss Carmen was removed from Dr.
Campbell's office, where she had passed
the night, to her hotel apartments. She
was conscious, but extremely weak from
the loss of blood. The dangerous wound
is a deep stab in the left shoulder near
the neck, which severed an artery. The
physicians have not been able to stop
the flow of blood. The other wounds,
while painful, are not considered serious.
Catarrn Cannot te Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and
in order to cure it you must take inter
nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

Her Troubles Are Ended.
San Fkancisco, Sept. 1. Little Em
ma Davis, the English girl who was
taken from her home by E. A. Tubba
and his wife and treated almost as a
slave on their Fresno vineyard, has ar
rived here on her way to her parents
across the Atlantic. The British consul-
general will provide the funds. At Chi
cago she will be met by members of the
Young Women's Christian Association,
who will see her safely on her journey
to New York. There she will be taken
in charge by the Children's Society and
safely housed up to the time the steamer
sails. At Liverpool the English Chil
dren's Society will meet her and forward
her to her home in Rock Ferry.
Northern Pacific Officers.
St. Paul, Sept. 1. Daniel S. Lamont,
the new vice-president of the Northern
Pacific, is in the city, and says he is
awaiting the arrival of the new presi
dent, Mr. Mellen, before he will be
prepared to state what his duties, .will be.
With his family Mr. Lamont is for a few
days the guest of President Hiil, of the
Great Northern. He said he expected
to remain here but a short time.
Preeident Winter's duties in an official
character ended at midnight, but he will
continue at the headquarters until Presi
dent Mellen arrives next week.

Three Silver Parties of Nebraska to
Pool Issues.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1. It is safe to
say harmonious fusion of the three silver
parties is assured. Whatever doubt
there may have been about co-operation
was dispelled by good-will mass meet
ings held last night and this morning.
The sentiment on every tongue is to
fuse regardless of which party furnishes
the nominee for supreme judge. The
Democrats, who favor W. H. Thompson,
express great confidence in their victory,
Dut say tney want lusion above all
things.
The silver Democratic state central
committe met and agreed to recommend
A. A. Shellenberger, ot Alma, to their
convention as temporary chairman.
Attorney-General Smythe, of Omaha,
will be recommended for permanent
chairman.
The bilver republican state central com
mittee met this morning and agreed to
recommend F. F. Loomis, of Edham, for
temporary chairman, and to lewe the
nomination of permanent chairman to
the choice of the convention.
The Populists have agreed to wait un
til their convention . opens before ap
pointing a temporary chairman.
Since early morning the corridors of
the hotels have been thronged, and
trains have augmented the crowds until
the number of delegates is estimated at
2800.
Remarkable Cure of Chrome Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this" great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to. me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen-
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough

Schlatter in Trouble.
Chicago, Sept. 1. The man calling
himself Francis Schlatter, who has been
conducting a "divine-healing" camp at
Manhattan beach, has been served with
a summons to answer the charge of prac
ticing medicine without a license. He
will be prosecuted by the state board of
health of Illinois, and if convicted is
liable to a fine of $100 for the first offense
and $200 in addition if his patients care
to trouble him further.
Dr J. A. Egan, secretary of the board,
instituted the legal proceedings.

San Fkancisco, Sept. 1. Charles M.

the Angus-Craven case, with astonishing
