Washington Letter. Nominally the two branches of Congress met today and adjourned without waiting to get Mr. McKinley’s message, as a mark of respect to the late Senators Davis and Grear and members of the House who have died since the last session, but in reality the adjournment was for the purpose of giving the republicans a little more time to try to reconcile their numerous differences and to get together on a legislative program. • The Jackson Democratic Association, of Washington, is arranging^or its annual celebration of Jackson Day, January 8th next, with as much enthusiasm as its members could possibly^ have displayed, had the party been victors in the late campaign. The Jacksonians are of the same undaunted brand as was “Old Hickory” himself, and the result of campaigns cuts no figure in their calculations when 'compared with the principles they value far more than triumph. Representative Shaflfroth, of Colorado, said of the contest for the seat which will be vacated March 4th, by Senator Wolcott: “It promises to be the most interesting, and the closest call ever known in that section. Three of the strongest men in the state are, now candidates—Gov. Thomas, former » Governor Adams, and Thomas F. Patterson, and it is just possible that Mr. Charles J. Hughes, a prominent mining lawyer, may enter the field as the fourth. ” 'Although all knowledge on the subject is denied at the War Department, many persons in Washington, believe the correctness of the story that embalmed beef Eagan will shortly be restored to duty as Commissary General of the Army, by Mr. McKinley. Representative Neville, of Nebraska, who was re-elected says he thinks

publican enemies to succeed in getting elected to the Senate. Notwithstanding his previous humiliating experiences in that line, Secretary Root has again smothered an important public document on the ridiculous ground that it is a confidential matter not intended to be made public. The document in question is the report made by an expert accountant from the treasury department, who was sent to Cuba at Secretary Root’s request to go thoroughly over the accounts of Rathbone and Neeley. The real reason for not mak.ing it public is that it shows the stealing in Cuba to have beeu greater and more systematic than anybody had supposed. A similar report was made by the accountant to the senate committee on relations with Cuba, which has been trying so hard not to comply with the senate resolutiow directing it to investigate Cuban finances. If these reports are not made public, there is likely to be some plain talk in congress on the right of an official to suppress a report made by a minor official under orders and under public pay. If such reports are not public documents, pray what are? ^ A treaty has been signed with Nica ragua, giving the United States the right to construct and operate the Nicaragua Canal, which will be sent to the senate for ratification, but whether the Panama lobby will allow it to be acted upon, only time can tell. A democratic caucus of the house is now in session, to decide upon the party policy to be followed in dealing with the army organization bill, which the republicans will push at

once. Senator Martin, of Virginia, said of the attitude of the democrats toward the legislation of the session: “I see no reason for any captious objection j or dilatory tactics on the part of the democrats. I do not mean that the minority has no responsibility but that the democrats will be satisfied with a statement of their objections, and with recording their votes against bills they So not approve.?’

Saw Death Near. “It often made my heart ache,” writes L. C. Overstreet, of Elgin, Tenn., “to hear my wife Cough until it seemed her weak and sore lungs would collapse. Good doctors said she was so far gone with consumption that no medicine or earthly help could save her, but a friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery and persistent use of this excellent medi- | cine saved her life.” It’s absolutely I guaranteed for coughs, colds, bron- ; chitis, asthma and all throat and lung j diseases. oOc and $1.00 at Harvard Stearnes drug company.

Sugar Beet Experiments in Indiana. Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bulletin No. 88, Oct. 6, 1900.V For the past thirteen years the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station has been conducting experiments on sugar beets in Indiana. The main purpose of this work has been to determine whether or not sugar beets might, be profitably grown in this state, for sugar producing purposes. This work has been conducted year after year with much care, and every opportunity has been made use of to ascertain Indiana’s adaptability as a state to produce sugar from the beet. For years the station has distributed free seed each spring to hundreds of farmers over the state, who agreed to follow the directions given them, to plant the seed, grow the crop and send the station samples of the beets in the fall. Thousands of pounds of beet seed have thus been distributed, and each fall a large dumber of beets have been received at the station from different parts of the state, and their sugar contents determined. No other experiment station in the United States, excepting Nebraska, so far as we are informed has attempted to conduct such longcontinued experiments with sugar beets, or grown experimental crops for so many years in the state, as has Indiana. Since 1888 inclusive, we have had experimental plats of beets in 9ne or more parts of the state. In 1890 there were eight of these, in 1891 thirty-eight, in 1892 thirty-nine, 1893 twenty-seyen, in 1891 forty-seven, in 1893 five, in 1897 one hundred and for-ty-three. In 1898 the station sent seed to 1,109 persons over the state, [ while in 1899 and 1900 large amounts

of seed were distributed, which farmers agreed to grow under the direction of the station. For years growers have planted one-eighth acre or more of beets under our instructions. Asa result of this work a great number of samples of the beets from nearly 70 counties in9 the state have been received at the station and their sugar contents determined. We have now on our records a large amount of information as a result of these years of work, which is favorable to the profitable production of sugar beets in the northern third of Indiana on certain soils suited to this crop. In consequence of all this work, the station has decided to discontinue further distribution of beet seeds to our ! people and to largely curtail its sugar beet investigations. The station however, desires to keep in touch with our j sugar beet growers, and will be pleased - to examine free of charge all samples of beets sent us, under station instruc- | tiona, in the fall of 1901.

trial on their farms, can no doubt obtain the same by applying- to their congressman during this winter of 19001901. Some time early in 1901 a bulletin will be published by the station giving a record of the sugar beet work of this institution during the past thirteen years, and the results attained. This will be mailed free to any one desiring a copy of the same. C. S. Plumb, Director. A Woman’s Awful Peril. “There is only one chance to save your life and that is through an -operation” were the startling words heard by Mrs. I. B. Hunt of Lime Ridge, Wis., from her doctor after he had vainly tried to cure her of a frightful case of stomach trouble and yellow .jaundice. Gall stones had formed and she constantly grew worse.

Monday morning there was a skirmishing time among the husbands, who light the morning fires when they discovered that there was no gas. Pine boxes and all other kinds of light wood were in demand in order that the morning meal might be prepared.

She ate her dinner with the family and Mr. Nelson, who is engineer at the mines, went to his work and about three o’clock a messenger was sent for him, and her death occurred in a few moments after h^f arrived home. She leaves a husband and four children, all grown.—Oakland City Enterprise.
