cash. It will pay SI0.50 a ton for the
roots delivered on the cars at O’Neill.
The contract also contains a provision
similar to that in the contracts of the
Norfolk Sugar Beet company, that if
the state bounty Is not paid‘then ttiej
farmer is to receive $0 per ton at the!
factory instead of S10. The roots are
not required to meet any test as to
quality, but are paid for wholly by
weight They urc to be free from earth
and well topped. A few acres were
raised in this vicinity last season with
satisfactory results, ‘ although the cost
of digging them was larger than was
anticipated.: ..The roots were so long
that no machine would work satisfac

Crete dispatch: The gold prospect
ors here ure by no means idle. There
was general dissatisfaction with the re
sult of the last washing of sand off the
Morris farm. I.ast week a syndicate of
five prominent business men was form
ed for the purpose of thoroughly testing
the sand from the Norris farm. The
sluice boxes were improved by inserting
copperplates in each box covered by
quicksilver. Quicksilver was also placed
under all riffles in the boxes. Five
loads, carefully measured and weighed,
were hauled to the sluices. These five
loads contained exactly five tons of
sand. The washing was done very
slowly and the results of the clean-up
are axiously. awaited. From all indi
cations the result will far exceed that
of the last experiment. .Should it be
satisfactory actual work to sluice the
entire deposit of sand will at once be
commenced. The result of the clean
up is now in possession of l’rof. Hos
ford of Donne college to be retorted.
When that is done the actual amount
of gold in the five tons will be known.

EXCITING SCENE? IN KEHTDCKY:S
JOINT ASSEMBLY.

<»n the Forty-Kcrou«l Hu I lot, Hut I he
Friends of Carlisle Rallied the
Sound Money Men and Forced
a Deadlock ~~ Populittts
Vote for Him.
Frankfort, Ivy., March 0—Senator
Hlackburn narrowly missed re-elec
tion in the joint assembly to-day. In
fact, his election was announced on
the strength of a bolt to his side by
I’opulist Poor and other followers of
Carlisle, but the gain was quickly
covered by the sound money advo
cates, some of them Republicans, who
rallied o her bolters to Carlisle's side.
There was another big crowd pres
ent to see the forty-second ballot
taken. The roll eail showed 1M mem
bers present, necessary to a choice
sixty-three. The pairs numbered
seven. Senutor I'll I is ton led off by
voting for Carlisle, lie was followed
by Senators Holloway, Noe, Salyer,
Smith and Stephenson. The Repub
licans voted solidly for Hoyle. Jiaird
was the lirst Demotrat in the house
to vote for Carlisle. After him came
Carroll, Dougherty, Norman, N. H.
Ilice, Speight, Swinford, Violett,
Walker and Witt.
There were no speeches of explana
tion to-day from anyone until the roil
call hud boon completed, when Popu
list Poor arose and said that it had
hern said that there was no hope to
elect Hlackburn. Ho believed that
that time had now arrived, lie would
cust his vote for Hlackburn. (Cheers.)
Then one by one, amid elieers from
the friends of lllackburn, the follow
ing Democrats changed to Hlackburn
from Carlisle: IClliston, Smith, Witt,
Stephenson, Dougherty, Noe, Salyer,
liuird, Holloway, Rice, Norman.
Mr. llaird, ia explaining his vote,
said that he was opposed to the Dem
ocratic nominee’s views on the cur
rency question, but as there was no
chance to elect their candidate, he
would east his vote for that candidate.
Senator llollowav spoke in explana
tion, as did Senator Salyer. They
took the ground that it” was their
duty to vote for the nominee when
ever there was a chanee to elect him.
i Representative Chambers, who was
! paired with Senator Weissinger, said
| that he wished to vote.
I Senator Itronstor. protested ami said
j that the Republicans should sec that
! the pair was not broken, dames arose
and changed his vote to John (I.
Carlisle. '
At this Representative Lyons arose
nnd caused the wildest excitement by
saying that if any attempt was made
to elect John U. Carlisle he would vote
for lilackburn. This statement was
wildly cheered by thefriendsof lilack
burn. Speaker Rian ford arose and
said that when it became certain that
a sound money Republican could not
be elected, he would follow his peo
ple's wishes and vote for a sound
money- Democrat. lie changed his
vote to Carlisle amid the wildest ex
citement. Men jumped on chairs and
cheered wildly. A dozen members
clamored for recognition unit the
chair rapped for order for live minutes
in vain. The assembly was in a tur
moil. Thefriendsof lilackburn were
elated and thought they saw victory
in the air.
The sound money men held a con
sultation and urged eacli other to
change to Carlisle. Several Republi
cans who voted for Carlisle declared
they would not change, and this
seemed to make it certain that Carlisle
would win.
After the lobbies and galleries had
been cleared the chair announced the
result of the forty-second ballot as
Carlisle, 5.
Howard moved to adjourn, but
Uronston objected. “X want to give
an opportunity to the sound money
Democrats to elect Carlisle,” said he.
The roll was ordered called on the
motion to adjourn and the motion was
lost.
The announcement of the refusal of
the assembly to adjourn by the pre
siding officer raised excitement again.
A recapitulation of thp vote was had.
Speaker Mum-hard voted that the
General Assembly adjourn until Mon
day at 1 - o'clock. .Republicans fili
bustered in an attempt to stave off
another ballot.
Speaker Mandford withdrew liis
motion to adjourn and the roll was
ordered called for anpthcr ballot.
Confusion again broke out. Many Re
publicans refused to vote with the
idea of breaking u quorum.
Dougherty, l-’urnish. Norman, Stout,
Speight. Walker and Yiolett voted for
Carlisle. The two Populists. Poor and
Edrington, again voted for Mack burn.
The ballot resulted: Mack burn. 49:
Carlisle, 15; total, 64, which the chair
decided was no quorum.
Senator Jones moved that th’e as
sembly adjourn until Monday at uoon.
The motion was carried.

.» Pi.axt City, Fla., March '•>.—In a
desperate battle with regulators.Bow
eu Sykes fatally shot four men and
wounded six others seriously.
Sykes lives in Hillsboro county and
had incurred the enmity of his neigh
bors. Within the last ten days he had
received notices to leave. Wednesday
morning Sykes found a rudely drawn
coHin on his front door, and under
neath a statement that, unless he left
immediately, he would be killed.
Sykes prepared to defend himself
against the expected attack, which
came Thursday morning about 1
o’clock.
At that hour a mob of fifteen masked
men broke down the door and entered
the house. Sykes was ready, and as
the regulators entered, he opened fire
with a Winchester rifle. Soon four of
the regulators were down and the
others fled. Sykes continued to fire
at the fugitives as long as they wero
.in range and is confident six’otliers
were wounded. Sykes then tore the
masks from the four men who had
fallen, and found that they were John
and Alonzo Karnes, John Gilliland
and Dennis Driggers. The Uarno3
brothers were shot through the head
and cannot live, Gilliland and Drig
gers were shot in the chest and their
wounds are fatal.
Sykes came here, reported the trag
edy and swore put warrants. Officers
who went out to make the arrests
found the four men named dying, and
reported that six others are too badly
wounded to be moved. Sykes says he
has done nothing to be “regulated”
for, and proposes to remain in the
neighborhood if he lias to kill every
man in it.

NO CUBAN RECOGNITION.
Prealileot Cleveland and Cabinet Strongly
Opposed to It,
Washington, March 5.—The Presi
dent and his Cabinet are undoubtedly
opposed to the present recognition of
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents
and to any declaration concerning
their independence ns embodied in re
cent Congressional resolutions. The
following is not an oflicinl statement,
but it is known from careful inquiry
thnt it accurately represents the ad
ministration's views in the matter.
\\ lule the President and members of
the Cabinet personally feel the sym
pathy common to all Americans' with
these Cubans who are contending for
self-government, they feel that in
their official action they should not de
part from the well-settled principles
which were followed'by former Presi
dents and Secretaries of State during
prior insurrections in Cuba. These
were clearly set fortli by General
Grant in his message of ISIS, in which
lie dealt with the question of the rec
ognition of Cuban independence aDd
also with that of the recognition of
belligerency.
both independence and belligerency
are facts, and their recognition by
other powers, as the terra implies, is
merely formal acknowledgment of a
state of things which, rightly or
wrongly, has come about.
M lien a people, united under some
known and defined form of govern
ment, which administers its functions
by the usual methods, come to occupy
and control a known territory over
which it is competent to administer
justice and within which it affords
protection to citizens and strangers, a
new state exists. Refusal of recogni
tion would not change the fact, any
more than premature “recognition”
could create it. The former would be
merely a slight to the new govern
ment, just as the latter is merely an
affront to the old one, The question
necessarily is always what govern*
ment is actually in control of the
country.
Recognition of belligerency depends
upon tlie same facts, and is only a
modified form of recognizing inde
pendence. though the latter implies
more perfect accomplishments.
The pretension of recognizing what
dors not exist “is always, and justly,
regarded us an unfriendly aet, and a
gratuitous demonstration of moral
support to the rebellion.”
it is understood that, judged by
these tests, the a dm ini,strut iou does
not think the present state of affairs
in Cuba justifies any change in the at
titude of the Government. Its func
tion is to act and not to express feel
ing.

AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS AGONIES.
FROM DISEASE.

Wlirn tierontmo IVti Captured.
From the Press, New York City.
Worn with the exposure of army IIfo
nr» thr frontier, arid poisoned by the
ooniltuutl drinking of alkali water.
Joseph Phgtiuf returned to Philadel
phia eljtht years ago, broken down In.
health and tumble to do any work.
Me had served five years with the
Ninth United Slates Infantry In many
a desperate fight with the Indians In
Arizona and other frontier States and
had won an enviable record. In the
llcree conflict when Geronlmo, the
famous chief of the Apaches, was cap
tured. Mr. Fleugauf was among; the
brave soldiers who, forgetful of every
thing but duty, charged upon the hos
tile Indians. ; e
Life on the plains serit to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never
touched by a redskin's bullet or arrow,
and Sir. Flegauf came near such a fate,
as that. A long time before his time
was out he was taken seriously ill, but
he stuck to his post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the
Indian fighter was scarcely more than
skin and bones, and for three weeks he
lay desperately ill in a hospital. He felt
dizzy, and his stomach felt as ir it had
dried up. These symptoms were accom
panied by bloody dysentery, which no
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering, Mr.
Flegauf came to New York and was
treated bv several physicians. These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach, and others
chronic diarrhoea. u
In speaking to a reporter about his
illness Mr. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him. but, with all the money he
spent for advice and medicine, lie was
able to work only a small part of the.
time. Since moving to his present
home, No. 617 West Forty-second street,
in New York, about a year ago, Mr.
Flegauf has been so ill that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the
sick man had little hope of recovery.
At this critical time Dr. Williams- Pink'
Pills for Pale Peopff were recommended
to Mr. Flegauf. and, almost as a last
hope, he began taking them.
“The beneficial effect of the medicine
was felt at once,” Mr. Flegauf told the
reporter, "and before I had taken a box
1 began to eat witli relish. Three boxes
made me so much better that I began
work and have been able to keep at it
since, for five months.”
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
arid richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
by all druggists, or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y., for 60c per box, or
six boxes for $2.60.
Tlie Coniine Fashionable Bonnet.
That plaited straw, yellowish in tint,
will form the fashionable bonnet there
can be no doubt. But the shape se
lected will depend this season, more
than ever before, on that fancied by
the wearer. Since the Directoire. First
Empire and Louis Sixteenth styles are
all in vogue with a suggestion of the
large bonnets fancied during the early
part of this century, and the small bon
nets such us were in vogue among the
beauties of i he Second Empire, it would
seem as if every face should be suited.
The fact that the stock and the jabot
are growing nearer and nearer to the
ears means, so say the milliners, the
coming in of ribbon ties, and broad
ones at that. Importers announce that
the enormous straw hats will be tied
by inch-wide ribbons under the chin,
while the small bonnets will be put on
securely with three-inch-wide ties.
Men, Stir Your Mentality.
If only men would realize 1 that the
material side is what we girls care the
least for. Bray don't think, just be
cause you have built us colonial houses
and have our clothes made for us, and
never allow butchers’ bills to annoy us,
that you have done your whole duty by
us. It never occurs to most of us, who
have these dear American men for lov
ers and husbands, that we ever really
could get cold or hungry. You would
have a fit if you thought anybody be
longing to you didn't have all the
clothes they wanted and the best the
market affords. But you think it a.
huge joke when we say that we are
mentally cold and hungry a good deal
of the time, and that you are a store
house with all that we need, right
within your hearts and brains, only you
won't give it to us.—Ladies' liome
