The supper given last evening by the ladies of the 3ftl section of the M. E. church at A. Parkison’s was a decided success both socially and financially. An art exhibit was displayed. Th« proceeds were sl2. The Chicago Kush Medics flunk - ed on their game with Rensselaer football team, in Chicago, as was quite generally predicted they would. They did not want to put up the cash for pur boys to come up and b°at the backs off of them on their own grounds.

One election bet that was decided on a very close figure was between W. B. Austin and George Strickfaden. Austin bet that McKinley’s plurality over Bryan, in this county, would be over 500. The corrected official returns shows it to be 503. The bet was SSO a side. Relatives to the number of thirty gave J. M. Troxell a surprise supper, last evening, in honor of his seventy-second birthday. Several presents were left, among them a handsome rocking chair,. They left at a late hour wishing him many more happy birthdays? The skies at the Culver Military academy,‘Lake Maxinkuckee, have cleared, says a late special. There will be no more censure from par-

ents of the cadets who were recently dismissed and it is probable that all or nearly all will be reinstated if applications for the consideration of individual cases are made. Night Police Childers found ;wo men sleeping at the light sta;ion last night and run them in, under suspicion of being the men who recently robbed George Mitten’s general store, at Wadena. He was telephoned to and himself and three other men drove over today. They took a look at the two suspects and said they were not the men wanted. They were therefore released. Tne betting portion of our population are watching for the full official figures on Indiana with breathless interest. Uncle Mac and Uncle Strick have up $75 each on the JMcKinley plurality being 30,000 or more. The figures today, partly official and partly conservative estimates, are 29,919. There are a whole lot of nines in those figures, and if they will only stop in the “nine hole” Strick will feel pretty glad. But the chances are that the official count will more than supply the 81 votes lacking. Three of them will come from Jasper county, that we know of

It looks now like Strick has a sure cinch on that $75 bet with Uncle Mac on McKinley’s plurality in Indiana.

PROWERS COUNTY LEADS THE FIELD. ■ J Our Beets have the Highest Sugar Percentage and Coefficient of Purity of Any in the United States It will interest the farmers to learn that Prowers county leads th® procession in the matter of raising sugar beets that will command the highest prices at the factory. Agriculturist Timothy received reports from the latest tests of car lots on Tuesday that made him feel very proud of the section he has in charge. The chemist’s reports show * percettage of sugar ranging from 18 to 21.7 per cent, and a coefficient of purity ranging from 85 to the extraordinary figure of 92. 2 per cent. Mr. Timothy says he has no hesitation in saying’Wat these figures wil not be equaled elsewhere in the United States, The following are a few of the highest tests: PER CENT SUGAR COE FFICIENT OF PTRIT Charley Kornman 21.7 , 89.6, W. H. Wadhams 21.4 91.8 B. S. Nyman 10.2 92,2 J. S. Wright 20.5 89.6 Frank McKinley 18.0 88.0 The beets tested were from outside rows, which are supposed to be inferior to the rest of the field. They averaged about a pound and a half in weight. Mr. Wadham’s yield was twenty-one tons to the acre which at $6.30 a ton—the price they commanded—brought the neat sum of $132 an acre, of which SIOO counted as profit. Prowers county raises the best sugar beets and has sufficient available land to support two or three factories. There is little doubt that the field here will be occupied by a first-class factory within a few years. From Lamar, Colorado paper.
