Those sport loving Omaha people who
contemplate going to Homer to see Clar
Snce English and Dave Andrews of South
' Omaha take a few pokes ut each other
would better consult with the state author
Itles first. Governor Mickey heard that

Oovernor Mickey and Attorney Oeneral

Weathers; After Clerkship.
Friends of John N. Westberg, at one time
comptroller of the city of Omaha, have
been doing a little missionary work here In
bin Interest as a candidate for chief clerk
of the house of representatives, but it is
believed with Indifferent success. A mem
ber of the Omaha delegation announced
yesterday evening, when he heard of the
movement In Westberg's favor, that the
former city comptroller could not secure
the support of his home delegation and
that consequently he would not be a for
midable candidate In opposition to John
Wall, Mr. Westberg Is known to the Lan
caster delegation as the man who helped
secure the passage of the Omaha charter
amendment two years go that raised the
salary attached to his office and later lost
out In his candidacy for the renomlnatlon.
Food Commissioner Reporta,
Food Commissioner W, F. Thamp'Sn, In
Tils biennial report to the governor, recom
mends that the payment of fees to his de
partment be abollthed and the commission
bo supported by a direct appropriation;
that the scope of his department be ex
tended to all foods and condiments and all
articles used for food or drink by man. At
present the department has, jurisdiction
only over dairy products, vinegar and elder.
Commissioner Thompson calls attention
to the fai t that the legislature In passing
the present law saw fit to restrict the scope
of the department to the limited artt.les
of food found In section 4. These nre: But'

cheese, milk and creum, vinegar, cider and

BEET SUGAR FACTORY MOVES

ftebraaka Farmers Find Other Crops
Which Pay Better and Require
Less Labor to Pro
duce. NORFOLK, Neb.. Dec. 10 (8peciul.)
When the wheels and belts and engines in
the Norfolk sugar factory stopped running
late tonight, after having made a cam
paign of three consecutive months of man
ufacturlng, during no hour of which those
wheels were stationary, the last grain of
sugar that will ever be made in Norfolk
or in northern Nebraska was finished.
Experts who have been here for two
months have already begun tho tearing out
and dlamanteling of the machinery. Hav
ing been measuring up every bolt and belt
and having fitted them all into the plans
for the new factory which is to be erected
at Lamar, Colo., those engineer began at
once the removal of the Norfolk plant Into
tho state on the west. The factory has
been run In Norfolk for thirteen continu
ous years, but it will never run ugaln.
The American Beet Sugar company, to
whom, fourteen years ago, Norfolk citizens
donated 150, 000 in cold cash, together with
240 acres of the richest soil In this com
monwealth, for locating that factory at
Norfolk, Is withdrawing all of its Interests
from this city, leaving the big stone build
ings, the land and the boilers. This prop
erty will be deeded back to the people of
Norfolk and will be hung up as a prize to
Induce some new concern to locate here.
Already a distillery, a brewery and glucose
plunt have presented propositions to. the
Commercial club for the establishment.
The factory is being moved, the com
pany says, because not enough btets are
raised In the vicinity of Norfolk. The acre
age has steadily dropped off. In Colorado
they are assured of increased acreage for
a period of five years at least.
The farmers explain their luck of fields
by the fact that it Is too easy in this soil
to raise other crops. Beets are hard work.
No more tedious toil exists In the agri
cultural world today than the bringing up
of beets. Kvery root of saccharine has to
be tenderly cared for and coaxed from
spring until full, and on hands and knees
in the hot sun men and women must thin
out the rows. It la too hard work for a
country which can do other things. And
Nebraska can do other things.
During the thirteen year hundreds of
thousands of tons of sugar have been man
ufactured and sent through Omaha's job
bers to the outside world. About 300 men
were employed. But the business men here
believe that with an institution which will
run the year around greater benefit will re
sult to the city and community.

THE VALUE OF CKAHCOAL
Few People Know How t seful It Is la
Preservlna; Health and Ueaoty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal la
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
snd purifier in nature, but few realize its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the goses and Impuri
ties always present in the stomach and
intestines and carries them out .of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Churcoal effectually clears and Improve.
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
or rather in the form of large, pleasant
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is In Stuart's
Charcoal Loaenges: they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet form,
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with boney.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
bieath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of tlx
benefits of charcoal, says: 'I advlst
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach aud bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I ajso believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they coat but twenty-five
cent, a box at drug stores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and belter charcoal in
Stuart s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of
the ordinary c mutual tablets,'

Sliooting accidents have been frequent here

shooting blue rocks on a Sunday afternoon
at the Gray rnnch. It leaked out during
the week that last Sunday while R. A. Gray
and Joseph Smatlun, brothers of tho prin

Smatlun, while some seventy-five yards
from Gray and not knowing his exact loca
tion, fired, and several of the shot struck
Gray In the face, one of them striking
through nn eyelid and into the ball with
sufficient severity to necessitate his being
taken to an Omaha hospital for treatment.
Report Is that the eye Is not likely to be
lost. Arthur Spurlock and Claude Hurley
were hunting rabbits and a shot from Hur

and struck Spurlock Just under one of his
