The ladies connccted with the North Eighth street mission have gone on the war- path for Rev. Heory Delong, and rumors which have been floating about the air for weeks past, in fact ever since within a week after the Assoclated Charities was organ- Ized, crystalized in the form of a visit to De- long's mission Wednesday afternoon. The ladies attended the meeting of the executive board of the Associated Charities and poured thelr tale of woe into the ears of the com- mittee. They claimed that Mr. Delong nad not been doing cnough for the $50 per month which he is receiving as manager: that he did not pay any atteation to calls for help unless he saw fit, and that he even went so faras to take some of the clothing, pro- visions and the like, which had been left with him for distribution among the poor and use it for himself and for the members of his famil Mr. Delong’s friends give a very different version of the story. For years he has been doing more or less work among the poor durine that time ho bas acquired a larg of experience in dealing with their needs that comes very handy justat this time. While tiiere are a geeat many people in the city who really need assistanco, thore are others, and tho list is by no meaus small, who are nothing more or less than “aead beats. Mr. Delong thinks he knows about who belong to this class ana that the ladies of the mission have been misled by some of them into makiog all these charges against him. Ho admits that there are numbers of poor people whom he has refused to help and always will, but he claims to have acted with the purpose of making what sup- plies were on hand go as faras possible in alleviating the wants of those who were actually unfortunato.

So far as can bo learned the ticket meets with the upproval of all republicans, and a united effort is looked for to put the mén composing 1t fnto the city offices in the spring. There is probably more interest felt in the outcomo of the approaching elec- tion than is usual, from the fact that in the election last fall 1t was developed that Coun- cil Bluffs {s not a democratic eity, as hus usually bedn supposed, but a republican.

The law fora long time was ecforced in some degree, but_convietions became more anda more dificult, while the costs W piled up mountuin high, e said they aid not want even now to give up the fight, but that he was slowly coming to the conclusion that they must try something else, When pressed for an explanation of the change condition of affairs tne senator from Ap panoose thought the lurge increase in min- g population was one of tho chief fuctors. Another meeting of the joint committee on suppression of intemperauce was held to night, which was largelv attanded both by menibers of the legislature and others, Hon. G. R. Struble of Tama City spoke first, He had always been a prohibitionise, he said, but was uow willing to sce some other mothod adopted in sccordance with the party platform to give relief to those places where the sale of intoxicating liquors wer open ana unrestricted. Hon. L. S. Faucett of Sioux City was the next speaker. He detailed at length the conditions of affairs prevailing in that eity, gave his own personal exporience in at- tempting to enfore the law and cloged with an earnest appeal to the republicans to keep faith with the people, and especially with the votevs of the localities that desired a moditication of the law. Captain J. H. Powers of Chickasaw coun who had long been noted for his persisicr attempts to securo the observance of tho law and who has had his barn burned, and his own life threatened and a bomb thrust in his doorway, which happily failed to ex- plode, said he ‘was compelled to admit that there more saloous now in his count ning wide open and unrestrained than there ever had been under the license system, and while he disliked very much to give up tne fight, yet was constrained to say that if the state enforcement was not practicable that some means of stringent regulation should be adonted by this legislature, Hon. C. L. Dobson and Mary Jane Aldrich of the Women's Christian Temperance union spoke for the prohibitionists, the former urging the adoption of the mulct tax and tho latter favoring state enforcement. REVENUE LAWS TO STAND, Tt may be taken for granted that no radi- cal change will be made fn the revenue laws. The members of the ways and means com- mittees of the two houses, after struggling for three weeks with the bill drafted by the revenuc commission last sun.mer, have about given up the task. - They feel that the commission did its worle too well and drow up a bill 0 radical in_its nature and so cum- bersome that it is a physical impossibility to ive it that consideration which the subject demands. Had the commission contented itself with makiug «wo or three changes, covering the greater inequalitics of the present law, and embodied the same in two or three short bills, the revenue reformers wouid very like v have won the fight. As it is, the banking institutions are mak- ing war on the schéme to tax money and credits and the insurance interests are equally determined = in opposition to in- creased raxation, while, even the farmers fear a general increase in the rate of assess- ment, might not be followed by o corres- ponding reduction in‘the levy. "The bill for the taxation of mortguges will go the same way. 'hese bills introduced in the house today : By Brinton, raising the age of consent from 13 to 16; by Dowell, making an appropria- tion for the support of the Girls’ Reform school at Mitchellville: by McQuinn, requir- ing the observance of all lezal' holidays by public schools; by Smith of Linn, authoriz- ing cities organized under special charters to submit amendments to sume to a vote of the people, and to bond floating in icbtedness; by Stuntz, to classify and provide for in. spection of steam boilers; by Wilkin, author: izing cities orgavized under special charte to change number and boundaries of wards and fix number of aldermen; by Crow, to erect a dam across vhe Des Moines river at Bonaparte; by Dicderich, vequiring tele- graph oftices iv citics of not less than 10,000 to keep open at all hours. Steen offered a resolution for the final ad- Journment March 25, which was laid over till tomorrow. A bill providing that the offcial county printing should ve let to the lowest bidder was indetinitely postponed. Sawyer's bill providing » bounty on beet sugar was discussed ab length, but no vote was reached, In the senate g joint resolution by Grone- weg memorializing congress to make an ap- propriation to prevent any further change in the Missouri river at Council Blufls was passed. A bill was introduced by Terry authorizing cities organized under special charters, to fund their inaebtedness. The senate committee on corporations recom- mended the Shipwell bill, requiring tele- uph oftices in the larger cities to be kept open at all hours, The discussion of the woman suffrage amendment was resumed, Senator Rowen speaking in favor and Brower in opposition. AT People of Cass County Will Await the Out- come of the Luw. ATLANTIC, Ta,, Feb. 15.—(Speoial to The Bee.)—The bitter feeling against the Cass County bank officials was not so noticeable today on the streets, as many of the farmers had gone home to await the filing of the re- ceiver's report. The petit jury has been ex- cused until Monday, but the grand jury is hard at work and in a few days its labors will become visible by the serving of several warrants. The explicit instructions given the grand jury by Judge Decmer and the promptness in taking up the examination into the afairs of the defunct vank has Alled many people with confidence that the law will ‘be rigidly enforced and all guilty ones will be made to suffer full penalties. Through the calmer adyice of leading busi- ness and professional men the more hasty and hot-headed depositors have been held oft from making any violent demonstrations, and the papers have joined in with the demand that justice be given g fair trial before the people should attempt to take the law into their own hands, If the execution ‘of the law carried out, it is predicted that quiet feeling s only the calm before a most terrible storm. No one realizes this more fully than the accused and their friends and overy move they make fs cavefully considered before put into execution. Tho public now have a fair idea as to the extent the depositors have been defrauded, but is impatiently awaiting the report of th recelver.

Yotzer had a partner, in this business, and the recelver says it is hard work to find out just how much Interest Yetzer hus which is avallable for assets in claims made against the bank. It is thought that the estimation of the assets which has been published is too high, as some of the properly has been rated at too great a figure.

The exhbit Ne- braska state building gay an idea of low far this ndustry already had advanced in that state, the illustrations of the beet flelds and sugar refineries belng very in- structive, The manufacture of sugar from beets is no doubt ried on more extensively in Germany than in any other country, es- pecially around Magdeburg and Braunsch- welg. In the duchy of Braunschweis, which covers an area of 1,424 square miles, thero are no less than forty sugar refineries on a larger or smaller scile, with a capacity of from 11,000 to 14,000 hundredweight of beets per day. In the northern and central parts of Ger- many beets are grown in nearly all kinds of soil, loamy, clayey or sandy and soil con- ining lime, and T am of the opinion that the cultivation of the soil is of far more importance than the nature of the soil tsclf. When the ground is carefully prepared, and the seed is of the best quality and accli- mated, the result is generally satisfactory, Some work and care is required in weeding and thinning out. Great carc is also neces- sary, when the beets are out of the ground, but the profit com; vorably With the expenses connceted with the «n- terprise, providing the product can be brought to market at a reasonable rate The cxpense of fertilizing should not be confined to one year, as benefit, according to my personal ‘experience in the Danish sugar refineries, is derived from it for the next two years; the yield being from 3 to 4 per cent better the first year and from 2 to 3 per cent better the second year. Ex- periments have proved that barley and cats yield the best crop where beets heen grown the year before, while beets are of a superior quality when planted directly after oats. Beets are excellent for cleaning. the soil. The price of sugar beets in Germany as well as other places is governed by the price of sugar. Washed bects with the leaves taken off bring on an average about 1 mark 89 pf. per 100. Stock companies as well as private enterprises are in a flourish- ing condition, Thirty per cent dividend to stockholders s nothing unusual. The fact that labor is cheap in Germai Yy must, how- er, be taken into consideration. In Braunschweig there is an excellent zucherschule” for chemists, which I fre- aquented last summer. Among the students mearly all,uationalities were represented. In Denmark the cultivation of sugar beets is not so general, being more confined to certain localities, There are, all told, six sugar refineries, five of which belong to one stock company, the Danish Sugar re- fineries, while the sixth is a eo-operative concern. The farmers find, after an experience of eleven years, that it is a profitable indus- try. 1t would become more general if the farmers could find a market for their beets near home. It becomes unprofitable if a load of beets has to be hauled over three miles, The Danish Sugar reflucries are now however, arranged according to the French system, ‘which facilitates the farmers' work materially. Tho beets aro not delivered at the fac- torles, which is always the case in Germany, but all over the beet growing country sub- statlons have been erected, where the beets are worked into a liquid, and in this form it is sent through p'pe lines to the refineries. In 1893 the Danish refineries laid thirty- five miles of railroad track frem the plant to the beet growing districts, and laid out colonies for their employes (men and women), During the last two ycars the Danish sugar refinerfes have fmported labor (men and women) from Poland. which has been found superior to native labor, as they lave proved to be very industrious and frugal. : The above mentioned stuek company com- menced operations in 1840, Seed was sent to the farmers all over the country for the | purpose of learning where the most inter- | est was taken in the new enterprise and what kind of soil would yield the best crop.
