SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Report of the Committee Appointed to
j ' Secure It* Promotion.
The committee appointed to consider
means of promoting the sugar beet in
dustry submitted the following report:
Your committee appointed to take
under consideration the subject of en
couraging the beet sugar industry in
Nebraska begs leave to submit the fol
lowing report: < *
Your committee invited the counsel
of experts and those who have had
practical experience in the manufac
ture of beet sugar. We sought infor
mation that would enable us to draft a
hill to encourage the erection of new
factories in the state without the aid of
a bounty and at the same time not con
flict with the constitution of the state.
We did not have our labors completed
when the time expired for introducing
bills. Consequently we introduced the
Brat page of the bill we prepared,
which is known as house roll No. 819.
Your committee now has a bill drawn
which it wishes to substitute for house
roll No. 813. While this bill is not
what we should like to have had, yet it
is the best we could prepare that
would be constitutional.
The substitute bill simply provides
for the organization of sugar beet dis
tricts simitar to the irrigation districts
ft the state. These sugar beet dis
tricts will have a board of direction
who arc empowered to contract with
beet sugar construction companies to
furnish a given number of acres of
sugar beets for a given term of years.
When the individual citizens of the dis
trict fail to contract to grow the re
quired number of acres of beets, the
board of directors of the district is
smpowered to rent land and plant a
large enough acreage to supply the
leficiency. The district shall nave an
assessed property valuation of not less
than four million dollars.

Qaffln'i loprani Court Bill,
n The above is known as House roll
So. 555, and it has been ordered to the

Sec. 3. That section 4 of article vi

Mexico and the Exposition.
The Mexican Financier, a weekly
journal of finance published in the
Olty of Mexico, in its last number has
an article on the subject of expositions,
whieh advocates the advisability of
making creditable display at the Trans
Mississippi show in 1808. The article
speaks of the invitations which have
been received by the government to
exhibit the country’s resources at the
Nashville exposition during the sum
mer of tho present year, at the Trans
Mississippi exposition and at Paris in
1900. The editorial continues as fol
lows: “Though those expositions are
t6 be on a far smaller scale than that
which will signalize tho close of the
century at Paris, and for which a pre
liminary appropriation is incorporated
In the budget of expenditure of the
Mexican government for the coining
fiscal year, wo do not hesitate to say
that more practical utility is calculated
to accrue to Mexico from a comprehen
sive exhibit of her resources at the
comparative unpretentious displays
contemplated in the states of Tennes
see and Nebraska during this and next
year than on the more imposing stage
of the French metropolis in 1900.”

Maxwell Favors a Bounty.
Washington dispatch: Congressman
Maxwell’s bill, which he introduced in
the house to encourage the erection of
mills to manufacture sugar and syrup
trom sugar beets, has been referred to
the committee on ways and means.
The text of the bill follows:
A bill for an act to encourage the
erection of mills to manufacture sugar
and syrup from sugar beets.
Whereas, Sugar beets containing
more than 13 per cent of sugar and 80
per cent purity are now being success
fully cultivated in many parts of the
United. States, the production thereof
being limited by the want of mills to
extract the sugar from the beets, and
with a sufficient number of mills to
manufacture the annual crop of beets
there is reason to believe sufficient
sugar would be produced in the United
States to supply the nation; and,
Whereas, Such mills require costly
and elaborate machinery and a large
outlay of money to put them in opera
tion, which ordinarily is beyond the
means of ordinary individuals; there
fore be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress as
sembled:
[■Section 1. That to encourage the
erection of mills to manufacture sugar
from sugar beets a bounty of 75 cents
per ton shall be paid out of the treas
ury of the United States for each and
every ton of beets raised in the United
States and the sugar extracted there
from by mills erected under the pro
visions of this act, within the United
States, and such bounty to continue
for three years from and after the
passage of this act. For the next suc
ceeding three years, that is to say, for
the fourth, fifth and six years after the
passage of this act, a bounty of 50
cents per ton shall be paid as afore
said, and for the succeeding three
years, to-wit: Seventh, eighth and
ninth years after the passage of this
act a bounty of 25 cents per ton shall
be paid as aforesaid, when said boun
ties shall cease and determine.
Set. 2. The person operating any of
said mills and claiming the bounty
under the provisions of this act shall,
during the time each year when said
mills are in operation, males report by
mail at the close of each day's business
to the secretary of the treasury of the
number of tons of beets purchased dur
ing the day, the average amount of
saccharine matter therein and degree
of purity, and the • postoftice address
and the names of persons from whom
beets were received apd the price paid,
and shall make oath to the correctness
of the same before any sftlcer author
ized to administer oaths. A false oath
shall Bubieet the afliant to all the pains
and penalties of perjury.
Sec. 3. The person operating any of
the said mills and claiming a bounty
under the provisions of this act shail
also, at the close of business of each
week, make a sworn statement of the
amount of sugar manufactured in said
mill from sugar beets during the week
just then closed and also state the
quality, whether refined or unrefined.
•Sec. 4. The secretary of the treas
ury shall provide such rules and regu
nlations as arc necessary to carry this
act into effect and secure the faithful
observance of its provisions by all per
sons connected with the business.
This act shall continue in force for
the period of nine years from and
after its passage.
Nebraska Patronage Prom Washington.
_ Washington special: It has not been
decided yet what offices of importance
outside of the main federal offices in
Nebraska, President McKinley will be
urged to apportion to leading republi
cans in our state. There are. rumors
that one of the South American mis
sions will be requested and that it will
be tendered to John L. Webster and in
the event of his declination to John 0.
Uowin. Kx-Representativc Meiklejohn
is on the slate for a position at the
national capital if one worth his while
can be secured. C. A. Atkinson and F.
W. Collins both long for a desk in the
department of justice. One or both
will be disappointed. Senator Thurs
ton feels inclined to do something for
Church Howe and has carefully filed
away his long list of places that would
suit him, promising to take them up in
the near future for examination and
selection. Church feels quite confident
that he will come under the wire a
winner, and some of his friends share
with him in his belief.
One thing can be set down as certain
that Nebraska will not fare as well in
matters of federal appointments out
side of the state under the present ad
ministration as she did when General
Harrison occupied the white house.
Then she had the minister to Chili, a
commissioner of the general land
office, two successive assistant secre
taries of treasury and an assistant
attorney-general. None of these places
were under the civil service rules and
j none are today. Hut Nebraska in 1888
I cast her elcctorial vote for the republi
can ticket, while in 189« she gave a
majority for the opposition. This fact
will of course count against her in the
distribution of the ‘ small number of
important offices at the disposal of
Major McKinley.

Makes Estimate of Cost
At a recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Trans-Mississippi
exposition Manager Kirkendall, chief
of the department of buildings and
grounds, submitted an estimate of the
probat le cost of preparing the grounds
and buildings, which had been pre
pared by himself and General Superin
tendent Geraldine, and asked for the
advice and opinions of the other mem
bers of the committee. For the first
time the committee had before it the
consideration of the details of construc
tion and the session was an animated
one, lasting all the afternoon, and an
adjournment was taken in order to
give this most important matter still
further consideration.
The estimate presented by Mr. Kir
kendall was explained by that gentle
I man as being a rough, approximation
designed to acquaint the members of
the committee with the probable cost
of an exposition constructed along the
lines which have been laid down, lie
said the. list in question did not include
the buildings to be erected by the
federal government or the state of
Nebraska, but was only designed to
Include the buildings to be erected by
the exposition association. The esti
mate was as follows:
Administration building..*150,000

opening of gates. 133,000
Miscellaneous.. 70,000
Total cost of preparing grounds.$300,000
Grand total of buildings and

It was the unanimous opinion of the
members of the committee that the ad
ministration building should be an
imposing structure, in which each of
the states should have a suite of rooms
set apart for its commissioners and
visitors* The executive offices of the
exposition will also be located in this
building.
Members of the committee were
unanimous on the point that the agri
cultural feature of the exposition must
be one of the most prominent, in honor
of the importance of the agricultural
industry of the entire Trans-Mississippi
region.
The auditorium will be an immense
structure, a duplicate of the world
famous Mormon tabernacle in Sait
Lake City, the most perfect auditorium
in the world. It will probably be con
structed of steel framework us such, a
manner that it may be removed when
the exposition is. over ami erected near
the business center of town.
_ A special feature will be made of the
live stock exhibit, and extensive pre
parations will he made to make that
one of the most attractive departments.

Bee: Senator Allen has. reintroduced
his resolution calling upon the civil
service' commission to. examine and re
port to. the senate the reasons, why Dr;
»V. S; White, William Holmes,. John
Reller, Mary A.. Dalton and! Mary
Flynn were discharged front the serv
ice of the bureau of animal industry
at South Omaha. The resolution is.
just a little bit more- searching- thorn
the former resolution., and seeks to- in
vestigate the action of J. Sterling Mor
ton in. dismissing the above named
persons. Senator Allen ailso. presented
a favorable report for- the Indian
affairs committee restoring the Santee
Sioux in Nebraska and the Flandrean
Sioux in South. Dakota to all rights,
and privileges enjoyed; by them miH
their ancestors, under the treaties of
1837 and 1351. Also a favorable report
from the same, committee for- the relief
of homesteader-settlers on the ceded
portions of the great Sioux reserva
tion. in Nebraska, North and' South
Dakota. He presented a petition from
the Griswold Seed company of Lincoln
protesting against that portion of the
agricultural appropriation bill, provid
ing for the purchase and dvstribu.tijOD’
of seeds.
Senat* Wilt Ulnlr K«w<a
The Trans-Mississippi exposition ap
propriation bill is still in conference
between tine house and senate, twerthe
senate's alteration of the house amend
ment, fixing the amount of money to
be paid in by the Omaha association
before the state appropriation becomes
available. The house amendment put
the :i , are at $200,000. The senate eat
this in two. making it StOO.OOO. and
sent the bill back to the house. The
house refused to concur in the amend
ment, and the bill was sent to con
ference. It is now given out that the
senate conferees have agreed to recede
from the senate amendment, and will
so report to the senate. The report
will be adopted.
Ex-Congressman ilainer continues
very ill at liis home in Washington,
and his improvement is so slow that
there is no telling when he will be able
to leave for Nebraska.
Washington special: There were
j nearly 800 bills introduced in the senate
during *he first three days of the extra
session. Of these more than one-tenth
were introduced by Senator Allen. It
can be said for Senator Allen that lie
is an indefatigable worker for the
interests of the state in the senate and
omits no opportunity to follow up in
committee and on the floor of the
■ senate every measure in which he is
i Interested, lie probably participates
‘ in debate more than any of his col
i leagues and has filled up as many
pages of the record during his four
years of service ns did General Van
I YVyck during his term.

“Paderewski’s refusal to play at a
concert where the seats were to be at
reduced prices,” said a former man
ager of attractions, “was, of course,
the work of his manager. When an'
American manager farms out a lectur
er or a singer to a local manager it is
invariably with the stipulation that
the price of seats shall not bo reduced
below tho usual local rates for per
formers of likj grade. Managers aro
tenacious on this point because they
know that once a> man’s rates are re
duced it is almost impossible again to
bring them up to the standard. Soma
of the performers realize this and aro
sufficiently stiff about rates. But no
manager could long exist should ha
disregard the priii-inle.”
