CAGLE RIVER. - WISCONSIN
BEET SUGAR IN ENGLAND.
It is now more than a century since
Napoleon urged and encouraged the
cultivation of the sugar beet in
France, with results to that country
whioh have long since demonstrated
his foresight and sagacity. After a
hundred years and more a sugar beet
factory is to be established in Eng
land, a belated tribute to the once
hated and dreaded Bonaparte, says
the Manchester Union. It is an
nounced from London that the Anglo-
Sugar Corporation, which
recently sold through the British For
eign Colonial Corporation £300,000 5
per cent first mortgage profit-sharing
debentures, will use part of the proc
eeds to establish a sugar beet factory
in England in the eastern counties.
The factory in England will be run
under the management of Dutch sugar
experts. It is pointed out that in 1910
over 1,725,000 tons of sugar, valued
at £24,554,000 —about two-thirds of
which is beet sugar—were imported
into the United Kingdom, indicating
the possibilities of the beet sugar in
dustry in England, if it shall be found
that the beets can be grown success
fully there, and if the English farmers
will take an interest in helping for
ward the enterprise.
Spain has also illustrated the peril
of the law’s delays and the danger of
error in the trial courts. The Su
preme Court at Madrid has reviewed
the findings of the Council of War at
Barcelona which condemned Fran
cisco Ferrer to death.. It finds after
the lapse of some years that there is
no evidence that Ferrer was a partici
pant in the rioting; that any of the
rioters acted under orders from him,
and that in all the other cases of in
dividual rioters who were tried there
was no testimony indicating Ferrer’s
complicity in the disorders. This is
practically a judicial finding that Fer
rer wr.s executed for-an inspired of
fense, really because he was deemed
by tho military tribunal and the royal
court to teach revolutionary princi
ples. Under these circumstances the
best ft can do is to order the restora
tion of Ferrer’s property confiscated
after his condemnation to his heirs.
As to Ferrer himself, he is innocent,
b - .t dead.
The report comes from Pittsburgh
that the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars is being expended in experi
ments to determine the edible proper
ties of petroleum and turn them to
commercial use. It is said to be cer
tain that elements of petroleum can
be transformed into fatty acid. These
in turn combined with glycerine, it is
asserted, will form a new food. It is
said palatable peti oleum "jellies” and,
"sauces” will be the first products to
be made for general use. There are
people whose gustatory anticipations
will not be aroused by the prospect of
petroleum food products. There are
others who wih be keen to notice the
fact that while there is talk of pe
troleum as a food product the price of
the crude oil lately has undergone a
heavy advance.
Simplicity in weddings is reported
to be strongly advocated by members
of the British aristocracy. Members
of the British aristocracy who marry
American heiresses will hardly be able
to induce the young ladies to agree to
any brand of simplicity that precludes
the wearing of more than $100,009
worth of pearls.
The efforts now to save the chest
nut trees emphasizes nature’s revenge
for the needless slaughter of the birds.
Bird conservation is one of the im
portant factors in forestry, but If
human carelessness or wantonness de
stroys the natural means of tree de
fenses, it follows that men are left to
their own Inadequate devices to repair
the blunder, in this case worse than a
crime.
A justice of New’ York’s supreme
court says there are too many laws,
courts and technicalities. The gen
eral public for some time has been
suspecting that less law and more
justice would better fill the average
needs of the community, and it is
quite gratifying to the lay mind to
have its opinions confirmed by this
expert decision.
A heart expert tells us that the
chief cause of marital discord is quar
reling about money. And yet, our
millionaires are not altogether un
known to the divorce court.
Save your raisin seeds. A scientific
■investigator in California, where 3,000
or 4,000 tons of them are thrown away
every year, has demonstrated that
they have commercial value, and that
sirup, oil, meal and tannin can be
made from them.

Will Total between $25,000,000 and
$30,000,000, It Is Asserted.
New York, April 17. —These pin
nacles of fact concerning the world’s
greatest steamship disaster —the sink
ing at 2:20 a. m. Monday of the great
White Star liner Titanic, off the
banks of Newfoundland —stand out
prominently as sifted from the wire
less reports:
Revised estimate of loss of life,
1,232 souls.
The $10,000,000 steamship, with car
go and jewels worth perhaps $10,000,-
000 more, a total loss.
No mention among the survivors of
Qol. John Jacob Astor. His bride,
who was Miss Force of New York,
has been saved.
Maj. Archibald Butt, President
Taft’s military aid, still is unaccount
ed for, as are many ocner persons of
international importance. J. Bruce
Ismay, president of the International
Mercantile Marine, owners of the
White Star line, is among the surviv
ors, as is his wife. J. G. Widener,
the Philadelphia traction magnate, is
not accounted for.
Most of Rescued Are Women.
The Titanic sank at 2:20 a. ml
Monday, after striking an iceberg off
the banks of Newfoundland.
Of the 201 first cabin passengers
thus far accounted for 132 are wom
en. 63 men and six children. Of the
116 second cabin passengers reported
surviving 88 are women, 16 men and
10 children.
According to the last report from
Captain Rostron of the Carpathia
there are about 800 survivors of the
Titanic on board, which would show
that 483 had been saved whose names
had riot been sent in by wireless.
Earlier Messages Held Hope.
The persons aboard the ill fated ves
sel were divided up as follows:
First cabin 318
Second cabin 300
Third cabin (steerage) 722
Crew 860
News of the sinking of the liner and
the terrible loss of life in consequence
came with all the greater shock be
cause hope had been buoyed up by re
ports that the steamship, although
badly damaged, was not in a sinking
condition and that all its passengers
had been safely taken off.
The messages were mostly unofficial,
however, and none came direct from
the liner, so that a lurking fear re
mained of possible bad news to come.
Shortly after seven o’clock Monday
night there came flasf’ng over the
wires from Cape Rac. within 400
miles of which the liner had struck
the iceberg, word that at 2:20 o’clock
Monday morning, three hours and fif
ty-five minutes after receiving its
death blow, the Titanic had sunk.
Carpathia Comes Too Late.
The news came from the steamer
Carpathia, relayed by the White Star
liner Olympic, and revealed that by
the time the Carpathia, outward bound
from New York and racing for the Ti
tanic on a wireless call, had reached
the scene the doomed vessel had sunk.
Left on the surface, however, were
lifeboats from .’he Titanic, and in
them—as appears in meager reports
received up to a late hour —were some
675 survivors of the disaster.-
These, according to the advices, the
Carpathia picked up and is now on its
way with them to New York.
A significant line in the Cape Race
dispatch was the announcement that
of those saved by the Carpathia nearly
all were women and children. Should
it prove that no other vessel picked up
any passengers of the sinking liner
this might mean that few of the men
m board had been saved as the pro-
portion of women and children among
the passengers was large. -
The same facts would likewise spell
the doom of practically the whole
crew.
In the cabins were 230 women and
children, but it is not known how
many there were among the 740 third
class passengers. In the first cabin
there were 128 women and 15 children
and in the second cabin 79 women and
8 children.
Vessel on Maiden Voyage.
The Titanic was on its maiden voy
age. When it found itself among the
ice fields on the Grand Banks the ves
sel sent call after call to the hurrying
liners of the upper roads —the Cunard
er Carpathia, the Virginian and the
Persian of the Allen line, the great
Baltic, the “Good Samaritan of the
Atlantic,” and the big Germans that
were plowing their way between the
continents.
The Carpathia and the Virginian,
wheeling in their course raced to the
aid of the Titanic.
Lifeboats as Last Hope.
It is assumed here that before help
came Capt. E. J. Smith of the Titanic,
the admiral of the White Star fleet,
the careful veteran who has brought
so many of the line’s finest ships to
this port on their maiden trips, real
ized early- that there was small chance
of his vessel staying above water and
that reliance must be had on the
small boats.
The Olympic had twice met with
misfortune with Captain Smith as her
commander, but the White Star com
pany knew that they were justified
in placing every reliance on the man
who has ruled over the best steam
ships in the world.
He had 50 lifeboats, supposed to be
capable of resisting the battering of
heavy seas. They were in theory
capable of holding 50 persons each.
So far as could be told from the
scant and cryptic wireless messages
from the ships that found the Titanic,
these boats were afloat and fending
away from the Titanic and threaten
ing icebergs when the Carpathia
blazed through the gloom.
THOSE SAVED FROM THE SEA
Wireless Sends Glad Ne*'s With List
of First Cabin Passe gers Who
Were Rescued.
Cape Race, N. F., April 17. —The
steamship Carpathia, which is be
lieved to have on board most of the
survivors of the Titanic disaster, sent
by wireless to this station the list of
the survivors. The receipt of the
list of the first cabin survivors re
quired nearly six hours’ effort. So far
as the names check up correctly, the
following saloon passengers of the
Titanic are safe on board the Car
pathia:

in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman’s
great change may be expected.
