The Penitentlary Matter.
A Lincoln dispatch says : It as now
claimed 'by various officials in the departments -
partments at the capitol that Contractor
A. D. Beemer will never be asked ,
'either by Warden Leidigh or the board
of public lands and buildings , to supply -
ply maintenance for the convicts at the
penitentiary. It is quite certain that
he will not , at least , until after the
decision of the supreme court is ren-
dered. The question as to whether or
not Beemer is legally appointed by the
board is the vital point upon which the
court will be called upon to pass. This
important question is now pending.
For the board to go ahead and. force
his recognition upon the warden , it is
claimed , would be disrespectful , to say
the least , to the supreme court. The
board of purchase and supplies is furnishing -
ishing goods and provisions to the penitentiary -
itentiary and will continue to do so until -
til the decision of the supreme eourt.
This decision may be handed down
Wednesday , November G , and it may ,
possibly , be delayed for a few days.
Beets' Are Ripe.
Mr. H. T. Oxnard was in Omaha last
week on his return from New York.
He received on arrival highly favorable -
able news from both sugar factories at
Norfolk and Gland Island concerning
the improvement in the condition of
sugar beets during the last ten days.
The chemists at the two factories report -
port that' beets now offered indicate
that the ripening process has proceeded
rapidly during the last week and the
analysis now indicates that beets are
generally in an acceptable condition
and all will be fully ripe within another -
other week.
'T'he Grand Island factory , which was
closed down temporarily because of
the unripe condition of the beets offered -
ed , will reopen this week.
Funeral of General Van Wyck.
11lilford ( Pa. ) dispatch : The funeral
of ex-United States Senator Van 1Vyck
occurred yesterday afternoon. A short
service was held at the Van Augen
farm house , Senator Van Wyck's old
home , preceding the services at the
Presbyterian church. Rev. Hugh Smith
Carpenter of Brooklyn preached a most
eloquent and impressive sermon on the
life of the deceased. Rev. Thomas
Nichols assisted.
Representatives of various Grand
Army posts from this region were present -
ent to pay their last respects to their
departed comrade. The people of Mul-
ford paid a high tribute of respect to
their former townsman. On the coffin
was a silk flag presented by Carroll
post of Port Jervis. The remains were
interred in the family plot in Milford
cemetery.
Enormous Beet Yields.
The Lincoln Journal correspondent
has been gathering information concerning -
cerning the sugar beet crop in Greeley
county this year and can say it is most
excellent. "One farmer reports three
thirty-ton cars and seven tons over
from four acres. This the best yield
heard of yet. Several have reported
I fifteen tons per acre. Complaints are
loud and long now as to the refusal of
the factory to accept the beets as harvested -
vested , farmers generally thinking that
the factory is trying to defer shipments
until the weather is colt ! and thus compel -
pel thorn to care for the beets during
the cold weather. This may be such a
drawback as to' cut short the future
beet crop in thisseetion of country. If
farmers are assured , however , that
there will be a ready- market they will
only be too glad to engage in beet rais-
ing. It is beyond question the most
profitable crop raised in this section of
the state if the companies will accept
them as agreed during the season suitable -
able for beet harvest. It has been estimated -
timated by men who have given it
careful attention 'that there is $50 net
profit on each acre actually attained if
delivered at once at the contract price. "
Nebraska Dairymen's Association.
The annual meeting of the Nebraska

gestions in regard to the subjects to be
discussed , and extends a cordial invitation -
tation to arty and all interested persons
to take part in the work of the meet-
ing. Those who will prepare papers
or present topics for consideration at
this meeting are invited to at once correspond -
respond with the secretary.

Beet Sugar Making Proceeds.
The Oxuard Beet Sugar company at
Grand Island resumed operations on
the 30th , and the factory is running
full blast. The same employes who
were let out a few days ago , when it
vas found necessary to stop the manufacture -
facture of sugar on account of the unripe -
ripe conditionlof the beets , are at their
various posts of duty , and there is a
good prospect for a long campaign ,
without any further breaks. Manager
Ferrar states that the recent cold
weather has greatly improved the beets.
It has stopped their growth and given
them an opportunity to gain in saccharine -
rine matter. About 2,000 tons are now
on hand and more are being rapidly
.shipped. In the event that no further
, difficulties are encountered , and none
are expected , the production of sugar
beets will this year be most satisfactory -
tory to producers.
SAuLuEL : r. PATTEUSON , postmaster at
South Bend , was severely kicked on the
head by a vicious horse. A physician
worked with him for two hours to
bring him back to consciousnes. It required -
quired .twelve stitches to close the
wound.
Much concern is felt by settlers of
the Otoe Indian reservation over the
decision of the secretary of the interior ,
which is said to be final , and which re-
quires that the balance dud on said
lands be paid on it before November
10 or the entries will be cancelled and
the land declared vacant. Unless other
influence can be brought to bear upon
the secretary and his order modified
great hardship will be felt by these settlers -
tlers , nearly all of whom are honest ,
hardworking Inca , but through a partial -
tial failnre of crops last year and almost -
most , a total failure this season , they
are unable to raise the necessary
amount of cash to make final payment

LITTLE RociT , Ark , Nov. 4.-All
prospect of holding the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons , the Maher-O'Donnell or the
Ryan-Smith , prize. 'fight in. this state
has been abandoned. Indeed when
the Fitzsimmons-Julian case was
called before Chancellor Martin this
morning , attorney General Kins-
worthy , in moving for a continuance
until afternoon , announced that it was
quite possible that the court proceedings -
ings would be dismissed , an agreement
havittg been reached with the pugilists
that they should leave Arkansas as
soon as possible. This was brought
about by Governor Clarke himself.
After the adjournment the Attorney
General and Attorney Martin went to
the ofliec of the Governor , and after
an hour's conference , Attorney General -
eral Kinsworthy went back to the
court and made arrangements with
Judge Martin of the Circuit court to
be in his office at noon. He was there
on time , and in a few words Attorney
Ilemmingway , for the State , asked
that the cases be dismissed , saying
that he had full confidence in the
promise of time defendants to do as
they agreed. Fitzsimmons and Julian
were not in court , but their representative -
tative , 1Ir. South , said the prisoners
had agreed to leave as stated. The
case was at once dismissed , but time
Chancellor told them that if they
violated the injunction restraining
them from fighting they would get
not less than two years in the county
jail.It
It is possible , however , that Corbett
and Fitrsimnrnons will meet yet , either
across the river from E1 Paso , Texas.
or at Phoenix , Ariz. Brady declared
yesterday afternoon that he and Cor-
bett would not bind themselves to go
to El Paso or Phoenix. Later , however -
ever , he made this proposition : "I will
select one man for referee from the
list prepared by Juiian and select the
battle ground. If lie is not willing that
I should select the fighting.ground , I
will let him select one newspaper man ,
I will select a second. the two to choose
a third , and let them pick out the place
for the fight. We will fight him for
$10,000 a side , and for nothing less
than that. Corbett Wilk not fight him
for nothing. I have my money right
here and that is what talks. Now ,
what more can I do ? We have agreed
to allow him his own man for referee ,
will eveni fight on his own ground , if
he knows of a place. or let a jury of
newspaper men make itfor him. Now ,
let him keep quiet or fight. Corbett
and I will fool with this thing no
longer. I have the thing in my own
hands now , and no clubs will have
anything to say about rt. "
Fitzsimmons and his manager. Julian -
ian , bctit expressed themselves to day
as being anxious to accept either
Brady's proposition of yesterday , or
the Florida Athletic club's proposition
to fight at El Paso. Julian preferred
the T'-xas battleground , as the $3,000
forfeit ottered would help to pay for
the lost time , he said , in case the fight
did not come oft.

reason to doubt the existence of a
Turkish revolutionary committee here ,
Although it is 'difficult to ascertain
whether it receives much support , it
is certain that many decent Turks resent -
sent the persecutions of the Armen-
ians. The aspirations of the young
Turkish party to restore a parliamentary -
ary regime are , however , destined to
disappointment. "

A Negro Roasted Alive.
Tri.Er. , Texas , Oct. 31.-Mrs. Leonard -
ard Bell , the 19-year-old wife of a
farmer living dour miles from here ,
was assaulted and murdered Monday
night by Henry Hilliard , a nearo.
Mrs. Bell had been visiting her
mother and about dusk started to walk
home , a distance of half a mile.
Shortly afterward her mutilated body
was found a quarter of a mile from
her home , at the side of the public
road. There were evidences of a
terrible struggle , as the body was al
most nude. Time fiend , after assaulting -
ing her , cut her throat from ear to
car and completely disemboweled her.
A posse was quickly organized , led
by Deputy Smith of Tyler , who with
lanterns in hand and aided by a hound.
tracked the nearo to within four miles
of the spot , where , at 4 a. m. , they
found him fast asleep in a cotton pen.
Soon after the officers had limn handcuffed -
cuffed a mob of some _ 00 men , heavily
armed , arrives ? on the scene and demanded -
manded the immediate surrender of
the prisoner , which was reluctantly
given. The mob started for the scene
of the murder , where they arrived
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
crowd continued to gatl er at the
scene of the horrible clime until
nearly 2,000 citizens of Tyler and vicinity -
cinity were there.
A few moments before the fiend was
brought to the place , a meeting was
held and a committee was appointed
to investigate his identity. Witnesses
were summoned and closely ques-
tioned. The result was a thorough
identification. In a felt minutes an
officer approached from over the ! till ,
followed by 300 determined and well
armed men. When near the scene the '
oflicers were overpowered and disarmed -
armed , and the nearo , Ilenty llilldard ,
was brought before the committee.
He made a full confession , and wrote
a note to his wife as follows :
"I am arrested by 'Wig' Smith. You
know what they will do with me. If
I don't see you any more , good by.
"IIENnv "
After his confession and thorough
identification a vote was taken as.to
the mode of punishment It was unanimously -
imously agreed to burn him alive , and
timat he should suffer time penalty on
the public square. The line of march
was taken 111) toward Tyler and at 4
o'clock the head line entered the main
street , where no less than 7,0)0 ) people
were assembled. Large crowds of
women and cllkldren were congregated
on the awnin rs surrounding the public -
lic plaza. Wagers , carriages , trees
and buildings were converted into
irrand stands and were thronged at
4:30.
4:30.A
A scaffold was erected in the center
of the square.Vagons laden with
kindling wood , coal oil and straw were
driven to the scene and placed in
position. The nearo teas then given
an opportunity to speak , but his words
were inaudible.1 hen he offered up
his last prayer. however , he could be
heard for several blocks. Ise was then
lashed to the iron rail that extended
through the platform.
Mr. Bell , the husband of the murdered -
dered lady . , a1pPlied the match and the
flames shot upward , enveloping the i
brute in a sheet of fire. Ike begged l
for mercy and it was meted out to
him in the measure he gave his vic-
tim. It was determined to burn him
at once , but the fire was quenched
after the last piece of wood was
burned. In a few minutes time fire
was started again. Front time time the
match was applieduntil his death was
exactly fifty minutes.
The I. & G. N. train was crowded
with the people from towns north.
Hundreds of negroes witnessed time execution -
ecution and representative negroes
expressed their indorsement of the
punishment. The ofikers were powerless -
less and the sheriff aired the Governor
but his message was too late. All business -
iness houses closed and the big Cotton
Belt shops were deserted.

G nstlo Observations by the
In His Annual Report. .
WAS1dINGTO\ , Oct : 3L-Commissioner
of the pension o- f
William L. Lochren ,
ficc , in hia nnual report malcesseveral ,
p 4 inted suggestions. Under the head h.
of "Patriotism and Pensions , " he says : I
"Those who enlisted early and
fought the battles of the war were not 1
moved by mercenary considerations ,
and unless actually disabled did not . ,1 '
show the haste in applying for pen- t
signs manifested by those who enlisted I
nearer the close of the war for large
bounties and did little actual service , t
and who are now the noisiest in clam-
oring for more pensions. As compared ,
with this latter class the real soldiers
of the war have been modest in preferring -
ferring claims for pensions. "
The death of many witnesses and 1
the age of claimants has made it quite i I
difficult in many cases lately to obtain 1
proof sufficient for time granting of i i
pensions. i
The report shows that the number
of pensioners June 30. 1604 , was 969i44 , ,
nets pensioners added during the year , i , j
-9,1bG ; dropped pensioners restored ,
4.200 ; deaths during ° the year , 20,81(3 ; I + ,
dropped for cause I41T making a , . ,
nee increase of pensioners during the 1
year of 860. Pensions claims allowed i
during time year , 39,185 ; denied , 103,555 ; + I f
cases pending , 552,210. The approprk- ,
ation fo.rr the year was bin0,000U00 , ) ,
and there was paid ( luring the - year f /
$138,807,337. Time estimate for pen- i ,
sdous for 1897 is $140,000,000 for pen-
sign payments , SS00,000 for surgeons'1 /
fees and $ l50,000 for clerk hire at ;
pension agencies , and about $200,000 J
for other expenses.
The commissioner commends the l
vigor of the department of justice and 1
of examiners in
pension prosecuting i
dishonest attorneys and others who S 1 !
were engaged in pension frauds. Two / ,
hundred ani ninety-four persons were V
convicted during the year for frauds. i
Indians 1Vaitt More Itights. , + '
PEnnr , Ok. , Oct. 31.-The I'ottawat- ' '
onke Indians , in council , passed rose-
lutions declaring : "We believe the V
stringent a rules of the interior de- ,
partment regarding leases are not '
conducive to our interests. It would i 1
be better for the Indian , better for the
1
white man and better for the community -
munity that the Indian should have
greater control over his land in the
way of leasing at least for limited t
'
periods of say five years. Give us'
more autonomy and less red tapeism. {
' 'ite excessive potentialism of time gov- /
eminent tends to dwarf the development -
ment which is necessary to make us
self-supporting and which can be at- I
tamed only by imposing upon the Indian -
dian greater personal responsibility. "
