More than half a million acres of marsh lands in the counties of St. Joseph, Porter, Laporte, Starke, Lake and Newton are soon to be drained and converted into sugar beet plantations. The Kankakee river is the natural drain of this vast region. It is found that the muck and sandy soil of the upper counties are suited to the propagation of the sugar beets.

V. J. Irwin Itolurns I'rotn the I.and of Flowors mill IMvdirts For It a Great Future.
V. Irwin returned last week from Florida and is more than pleased wi his visit. "They told us," said he, "that when Florida had tlio big freeze that the State was ruined. On the contrary it was the best thing that ever could have Happened there, and I'll tell you wli3r. Before the freeze people raided nothing but orangeB, and now they are devoting themselves to a diversity of crops to their great advantage. Agait. the freeze froze out financially a lot of sleepy back number southerners so that now northern men of means and push are coming in and are making a new State of Florida. Tobaeeo is now becoming a great crop then and since the new tariff law went into effect immense profits have been derived from it. It will be the principal product of northern Florida from this on. It.southern L^lorida the orange groves were not irremedially ruined and m-e now bearing as well as ever. There will be a good many Florida oranges in market this season but not at the old time price. When the growers used to receive sixty cents a box they are now receiving two and three dollars. Our party has in view the purchase of a big plantation not far from Tampa and in case we purchase it we will raise both tobacco and oranges I saw Dr. Marsh in Oklahoma and his grove was killed by the frost as was mine at tiie same place. Dr. Marsh is now postmaster of the town."
MAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
Tin* l.ieiitcnanl I i^i'S That tin- Iiiiiiaiia National (iuaril KtCivi-n Ni Killes.
Lieut. Will T. May, inspector of the Indiana National Guard, recommends to the war department that the batteries of the Indiana National Guard be supplied with the new 3 2-inch breech loading rifles complete and that a battalion of infantry and alight battery of regular troops be encamped with the Indiana National Guard in lS'JS. The benefit of such action can not be overestimated. The highways in Indiana are generally excellent, and the necessary supplies abundant, so that troops from Fort Sheridan, Fort Wayne or other neighboring posts could march to the place of encampment without great expense, and afford to the State troops object lessons of the greatest value. He recommends that the Statf- be authorized to exchange 700 Springfield nlles, model 1S73, for that number of later models and that the annual appropriation for State troops be Increased to 8100,000.

Ward had been drinking heavily and during the evening had created considerable disturbance in O'Hrien's restaurant. lie was ejected several times and finally the last time was warned not to come near the place again on the penalty of being shot. Hut a few minutes had elapsed when Ward returned and started into the place of business Without a word Itrown whipped a revolver from his pocket, aimed at Ward's head aud 11 red. The ball of 32 calibre entered the right breast just abovo the heart. Ward was taken home and medical aid summoned. llis wound, it is thought, is a fatal one. Itrown was immediately arrested.
