SUGAR WILL RISE
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF THE
DINGLEY LAW.
It Will Greatly Augment the Sugar Pro
duction In Both the North and South
—Confidence Being Restored in Bus
iness Circles Everywhere.
E. F. Parsons, Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C— There are few
men in the Unietd States better posted
on sugar production and its possibilities
than Congressman Meyer of Louisiana,
a Democrat, who has spent a lifetime
in the heart of the eugar producing dis
trict of the United States. He says
frankly that he believes sugar produc
tion, both as to cain and beets, will re
ceive a greater stimulus from the en
actment of the new tariff law than any
thing that has been done for it. It
may be added in this connection that
the rate of protection given to sugar by
the new law is greater than ever given
to this interest under any preceding
law. Possibly the actual amount of
protection per pound may have been
greater under other laws, but the fact
that the cost of producing sugar and
that prices the world over are now co
low, makes the ad valorem rate of
protection which is given by this law
greater than any in the past.
"It seems to me," said Congressman
Meyer, talking to a correspondent upon
this subject, "that sugar production
in the United States ought to be great
ly stimulated by this law. I believe
that we can and should, and I hope
certainly that we will produce in this
country all the sugar that our people
require."
"Do you refer to beet sugar, Mr.
Meyer, or to cane sugar when talking
about producing enough for the people
of this country?"
"Both. We shall, I feel sure, in
crease onr production of cane sugar
very greatly. This increased produc
tion will undoubtedly stimulate our
producers and increase the number of
producers. We ought to increase largely
the qauntity of cane sugar produce in
this country."
"Is there additional area not occu
pied suitable for that purpose, Mr.
Meyer?"
"Yes, plenty of it. In Louisiana
there is a good deal; in Texas and
Florid;* also much land is suitable for
this purpose."
"Do you expect to see the produc
tion of beet sugar develop thoroughout
the North?"
"Undoubtedly. Conditions have
been so thoroughly tested by those
studying this subject that there can
be, I think, no doubt of the entire
practicability of producing beet sugar
in a broad strip of country stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I
look to see that interest develop very
rapidly under this new law."
"Will the additional protection
which this law gives prove any more
advantageous to the beet sugar enter
prise than to cane?"
"In one sense, it may. The cane
■ugar industry is already pretty well
developed, while that of the beet su
gar is not. It takes less capital to-go
into the production of sugar beets than
it does to produce cane sugar because
beets can be transported mure readily
to the factories even at a considerable
distance. Cane is so heavy that the
cost of transporting it any distance
would be too great This makes it im
practicable to produce cane sugar in
the way that beet sugar is produced.
In the production of beet sugar, the
beets are grown on farms and trans
ported to a factory which handles the
beets of quite a large number of farms
and does so successfully. In the pro
duction of cane sugar, it is not practi
cable to do this to any considerable ex
tent as the cost of transporting the
cane any distance would make it im
practicable. So I look for a more rapid
development of beet sugar production
by reason of this fact, I believe that
we are going to see a very great in
crease in the sugar production of this
country and that the farmers of a great
belt of country, who can produce beet
suagr readily, will be participators in
the benefits which will come from it."
Democrats Disappointed.
There are a good many disappointed
people in Washington just now, also
several in other parts of the country.
The cause of their disappointment is
in the developments following the en
actment of the new tariff law. The
hope of the Democratic leaders was
first to befog the atmosphere with their
cries about trusts and especially the
sugar trust, and second, to show that
the new law was no revenue producer.
In both cases they seem likely to be
disappointed. Certainly their effort to
make the Dingley bill as it became a
law advantageous to the sugar trust as
compared with the Democratic law
which it repealed, was an absolute fail
ure Nobody believes that; the men
who made the assertion do not believe
i it themselves; in fact they know bet
ter. Now it seems likely that they are
to be disappointed in an opportunity
to complain of the new law as a reve
nue producer. It is certainly starting
off in a way j which surprises its ene
mies and delights its friends. In the
few days in which it has been in opera
tion, the customs rates under it .have
been very satisfactory, far jin . advance
of those under the -Wilson law in a
corresponding period of its history.

ENGLAND AFTER SHERMAN.
British Newspapers Consider Hl* B«*
marks Highly Offensive.
London, Aug. 11.—-Commenting on
the interview of the New York World
with Secretary Sherman, St. James's
Gazette this afternoon says:
"Sherman's utterances afford no ma
terial for denial by his friends of the
statement that he is suffering from
senile decay."
St James's Gazette refers to the
Kalnoky incident when it says:
"Austria properly severed diplomatic
relations with Great Britain, and Glad
stone apologized for his attack on the
dual monarchy, and asked why there
is one law in Europe and another in
America?"
The Globe says: "Secretary Sher
man had better rid himself of the idea
that Uncle Sam is going to boas this
country either on gold or on the fish
eries. The idea of Europe being afraid
of a third-rate naval power like the
United States could only have occurred
to a lunatic or to Sherman."
The utterances attributed to Secre
tary Sherman upon which the com
ments of the London papers was based
are as follows:
"England is a great country, but it
is not always safe to assume she is
ready to follow up every quarrel with
blows. She quarrels oftener than she
fights. It would be exceedingly diffi
cult for her to fight us all alone about
our seal catchings. Russia and Japan
are in a similar position, and any quar
rel between the United States and
England on this score would probably
involve those other countries."
AWAKE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Strange Case of a Carpenter Living at
St. Louis.
St. Louis, Aug. 11.—John O. Sutte,
a carpenter and builder, has been
awake 25 years. His last slumber came
so many years ago that he haH forgotten
what it is like to lie down at night and
awake refreshed and rejuvenated.
Sleep is an unknown quantity with
Sutte. He either lies upon his bed
and gazes on the stars, or, if in a rest
less mood, takes long walks into the
country, returning at daybreak to begin
work in his little shop, just north of
the house. His neighbors call him
"The man who never sleeps."
Sutte attributes his sleeplessness to a
noise which continually roars in his
head like a cataract. At times it
sounds like the buzz and whirr of
wheels sawing their way through heavy
timber. Again the sounds resemble
escaping steam, but at times they
mingle in a horrible deafening roar.
Owing to the noises in his head,
Sutte does not hear readily. He says
that the ringing in his ears was caused
by an overdose of quinine which was
administered to him in 1872. He took
62 grains at one dose, and when he
awoke next day he heard a noise in his
head which has remained there ever
since, keeping him awake every day
and night for 25 years. Sutte is 70
years old. He carries his age grace
fully and does not look the worse for
his long siege of wakefulness
HER BOY WAS UGLY*
A Quitman, Georgia, Mother Commits a
Terrible Crime.
Quitman, Ga., Aug. 11.—Fishermen
discovered the body of a 6-year-old boy
floating on the surface of a pond near
this place and later identified it as the
son of Mrs. Idella Powell Banks, a
widow, owning a farm just outside of
Quitman.
The actions of the mother when noti
fied of the discovery aroused the suspi
cions of the coroner and she was subse
quently arrested and placed in jail.
Here she was visited by a minister, to
whom she confessed having murdered
her child. The reason she gave was
that he was too ugly to be permitted to
live, and was a constant source of em
barrassment to her on that account.
She said that she walked by the pond,
and when she tried to push him in he
resisted with all his feeble strength.
She broke down completely in jail, and
says she wants to be hanged as soon as
possible. The child's face was dis
figured by a birthmark.
A Grewsome Discovery.
Valley, Neb., Aug. 11.—A grading
company at work near here exhumed 19
skeletons. All the bodies were in a
good state of preservation, and were
evidently buried with their clothes on
and without coffins. Five were fe
males. The bodies had probably been
in the ground 15 or 20 years, but no
resident of the locality can recall any
burying ground located here, nor does
rumor relate of anything in the past
that will account for the presence of
the skeletons. The bodies were covered
with only a few feet of earth, and were
placed in a large trench. Apparently
the skeletons are those of white people.
Fall in Spanish Becurites.
London, Aug. 11.—On the stock ex

Indianapoils, Aug. 11.—The Chicago
express on the Pennsylvania line and a
Monon switch engine came together in
a head-end collision at Market street
crossing this morning. William Mar
tin, the Monon engineer, was instantly
killed and both engines completely
wrecked. No passengers were injured.

SENOR CANOVAS SHO^.
Spanish Premier Assassinated by an
- .. ' Italian Anarchist. . ; _•
Madrid, Aug. 10.-rSenor Canovas del
Castillo, the prime minister of Spain,
was assassinated today at Santa Agneda
by an anarchist The murderer fired
three shots, two of which struck the
premier in the head and the other in
the chest. The wounded man lingered
unconscious for two hours, and died at
3 o'clock this afternoon. His wife was
but a short distance away when he fell.
Santa Agueda is noted for its baths.
The place is between San Sebastian, the
summer residence of the Spanish court,
and Vittoria, the capital of the prov
ince of Alava, about 30 miles south of
Billio.
The premier went there last Thursday
to take a three weeks' course of the
baths, after which he expected to return
to San Sebastian to see United States
Minister Woodford, when that gentle
man should be officially received by the
queen regent.
The assassin was immediately arrest
ed. He is a Neopolitan, and gives the
name of Rinialdi, but it is believed his
real name is Angele Angelo Golli.
The murderer declared he killed Can
ovas in accomplishment of a "just ven
geance" and as the outcome of a con
spiracy. He is believed to have arrived
at Santa Agueda the same day as the
premier, and was frequently seen lurk
ing in the passage of the bathing estab
lishment in a suspicious manner.
The remains of Senor Canovas will be
brought here tomorrow.
Marshal Martinez Campos has gone
to San Sebastian to attend the queen
regent.
Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, has
sent the following telegram to the gov
ernment:
"I have heard with deep pain of the
crime that has thrown us all in mourn
ing, and I place myself at the orders of
the government and queen."
Most of the liberal leaders sent sim
ilar messages, placing themselves at the
disposition of the government.
The queen regent, on hearing the
sad news, dispatched her own physician
by a special train from San Sebastian.
Later, on learning that Canovas was
dead, she "wired her condolence to the
widow.
The health of Senor Canovas bad im
proved greatly of late. He had been
leading a quiet life, although he attend
ed to the business of state.
At the moment of the assassination
he was waiting in the gallery of the
bathing establishment for his wife, who
was to join him for lunch. Suddenly
the assassin, who had the appearance
of an ordinary visitor; approached and
fired at him point blank, one bullet
passing through the body and coming
out behind the left shoulder, and the
other two lodging in the head. He fell
instantly, and only recovered conscious
ness long enough to speak a few words.
Several medical men and his wife
were unremitting in their attentions to
the sufferer, but his wounds were mor
tal, and he died in two hours. Extreme
unction was administered amid a scene
of mingled sorrow and indignation.
The assassin narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands of the waiters and at
tendants who rushed forward. Detec
tives and civil guards immediately
secured him. He was very pale, trem
bled very much and evidently feared
that he would be killed on the spot.
He will be first arraigned before the
local magistrates at Vergara.
JACK HAMBLET ARRESTED
Will Be Tried In Long Creek for the
Murder of Itenjamin Gammany.
Long Creek, Or., Aug. 10.—Jack
Hamblet, arrested in Boise City, Idaho,
last week, and for whom requisition
papers have been applied by Sheriff
Livingstone, of this county, will be
tried for the murder of Benjamin
Gammany, whom he killed in an alter
cation at a dance at Rock Creek on the
morning of February 23, 1894. The
circumstances of the killing are as fol
lows: Jack Hamblet, who lived in the
mountain, and was considered a quarrel
some and dangerous character, was
called to order during the night of the
dance by Gammany, who was floor man
ager. Hamblet resented the interfer
ence, and, using abusive language, the
two men came to blows. Gammany,
who was considerably the smaller, was
getting the best of the fight, when
Hamblet drew his pistol. The pistol
was taken from him and the men sepa
rated. Everything was again compar
atively peaceable until about 3 o'clock
in the morning, when Hamblet renewed
the quarrel by asking Gammany to step
outside with him. Gammany com
plied, and no sooner had the two men
reached the outside when Hamblet
turned and fired. The shot struck
Gammany's left wrist, and, ranging to
the elbow, entered the body. With
his death wound, body bent, and hands
crossed on his breast, Gammany ran
back into the room. Hamblet fol
lowed him, and, reaching over his
shoulder, sent another ball into his
brain.
Then, defying any one to arrest him,
Hamblet mounted his horse and rode
away. Armed parties started after
him, but he got into the mountain
fastness, and eluded all efforts to cap
ture him. Before leaving the dance
hall Hamblet marie the remark that
Gammany was bis fourth man.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins * Company's B«tI»w
of Trade.
The short sellers of wheat hare but
a single argument left to support their
views, via: The admitted fact that the
wheat crop of this country will be at
least 100,000,000 bushels larger than
that of last year. The current news
during the week has been extremely
bullish and developments have materi
ally strengthened the position of spec
ulative buyers. Probably the most im
portant annoucement was Beerbohm s
estimate placing the European shortage
compared with last year at 224,000,000
bushels. This has been emphasized
and confirmed by the active cash de
mand and enormous sales for export.
An additional aid in enhancing values
has been furnished by the farmers
stacking their wheat at a greater ex
tent than usual. Should the coal min
ers' strike continue a fortnight longer
it will prove a powerful, although un
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result in a more
serious congestion of the market for
September delivery than has prevailed
for July contracts. The promise of an
abundant wheat crop in America, the
absence of competition in supplying
the requirements of importing coun
tries, and the consequent increased ex
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American farmer.
Wheat will prove a profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward a still higher range of
values.
The American visible this week shows
a decrease of 164,000 bushels, and now
totals 17,650,000 bushels against 46,
--429,000 a year ago. There is much to
be said regarding both sides of the corn
market, but after all is said it is still a
fact that values are extremely low—due
to panic and overproduction. The
growing crop is not yet assured, and
with the enhancing values ruling lor
wheat compared with producing years,
the increasing activity in general trade,
corn must participate to a greater or
less extent in the general improvements,
according as the crop promise to be
above or below that of last year. In
any event, present values promise to be
well maintained, and there is little
if any inducement for speculative short
selling. Should the growing crop meet
with any mishap much higher values
will quickly obtain.

State Flowers and Suffrage.
Those states in which complete or
limited woman suffrage has been estab

taken the lead in the selection of slate
flowers. Colorado has the Columbine,
Idaho the syringia, Montana the bitter
root and Utah the sergo lily. The
state flower of Nebraska is the golden
rod, which is likewise the state flower
of Oregon.

A vigorous stomach is the greatest of mundane
blessings. Sound digestion is a guaranty of
quiet nerves, muscular elasticity, a hearty ap
petite and regular habit of body. Though not
always a natural endowment, it may be acquir
ed through the agency of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, one of the most effective invigorants
and blood fertilizers in existence. This line
tonic also fortifies those who use it against ma
laria, and remedies biliousness, constipation
and rheumatism.
A magnetic well of great power has
been struck at Bowersville, five miles

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CUBED
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.
