Y V V Y Y Y v t Y Y Y f Y f Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Death of Mrs. Carroll Old Pioneer, Resident of Nehav ka, Goes to Her Reward. Sugar Men Caught Again x Big Circus at Omaha Barnum & Bailey to Exhibit .There on Tuesday July 13. tacle as well as in other departments of the big show, yet never in its splendid history of nearly half a century has it displayed such extravagance as is shown this year. Never since the beginning of time ' has an amusenSent enterprise so tre mendous in size been organized as this one. Its magnitude is almost beyond belief. AH America, together with every foreign country, has been scoured from end to end by agents of this big show in search of novelties and the result is a performance brim full of sensational acts new to the circus vrorld. In the big Barnum & Bailey show are nearly 400 arenic stars, most of whom are seen now for the first time, A new sensation will be seen at every performance in "JUPITER, the balloon horse." This remarkable animal with its fearless rider ascends to the dome of the circus tent in a balloon and des cends to the ground in a shower of fiie works. Nearly 1,000 animal wonders -are to be found in the big 108 cage ' menagerie. 8 herds of elephants, in cluding one herd that actually plays upon musical instruments in time and tune. A group of giant giraffs,monster trained hippopotamus, only living bi horned rhinocros and hundreds of other strange beasts. Barnum & Bailey's big, new, free street parade Is the most gorgeous processional display ever at tempted in tha history of circus busi ness. Its tremendous size and wonder ful length can only be believed in the actual seeing. It is natural to expect this big circus to lead all others in ' quality and quinity of its street spec- Burkett is a Fighter. A dispatch from Washington by the Associated Press speaks as follows of the attack made by Senator Burkettt upon Senator Aldrich and the methods of the Finance Committee: "Indulging in a vigorous denuncia tion' of the committee on finance because of its change of front over night on the subject of tobacco im portations from the Philippines, Senator Burkett staoding face to face with Chairman Aldrich today declared that its action looked to him like a game of petty politics. He characterized this action as an effort to hang Senator LaFollette in the air, and finally declared that this event afforded senators a good opportunity to vote a lack of confi dence in the committee." Senator Burkett's remarks came dur ing the discussion over admitting to bacco free from the Philippines. After refusing to adopt an amendment of fered by Senator LaFollette the finance committee accepted an amendment made by Senator Bulkeley calling for a reduction more sweeping than the one asked for by Senator LaFollette. It was this action which arroused Senator Burkett's ire. The incident served to show even more plainly the bitter fight that men Iiks Senator Burkett are mak insr for true revision in opposition to the Aldrich followers. Chas. Carlson and bride -nee Miss Nellie Whelan-returncd to the city Saturday from their wedding trip. Special Correal onder.c a At 11:15 p. m. June eighteenth there passed out of this world another of the old bettlers of Cass county, Mr3. Win. Carroll. She was Lorn in Kentucky, Feb. 1st, 13:!0, Leir.g at her death seventy-three years of age. She lived for a time in Missouri from whence the came to Nebraska. She was the mother of ten children, five sons and five daughters, and her husband also survives her. Mrs. Carroll wa3i rev erenced by all with whom she came in contact and, eulogy aside, was a ,good woman and true wife and mother, and one of her characteristic traits was her happy faculty of always seeing ' the brighter side of life in preference to the darker. The funeral was held Monday, the twenty-first. i The following have been elected teachers of Nehawka High School for the ensuing school term': Mr. E. E. Collins of Brownville, Principal; Miss Lois Willaie of Parker, S. D., Assis tant Principal: Miss Hazel Jameson of Weeping Water, Intermediate; Miss Evelyn Stout of Lincoln, Primary.' For the hrst time in several years Nehawka is without a candidate in the political arena; but she isn't dead- she's only resting from her long career in Dolitics and next year the fur will fly as thick as ever. Just watch us! .Upon receiving a telegram informing her of her mother's death, Mrs. II. F. Kropp, accompanied by Master Ernest, left for her old home at Portsmouth, Ohio, Monday at midnight. On the afternoon of June eighteenth the home of the postmaster, J. M Palmer, and wife was made glad by the arrival of a little daughter. 'Rah for Teddy and the stork!

For the second time within two months the peculiar business methods of the sugar trust (The American Re fining Company,) have cost it a pretty penny. In the first case the company had to pay to the government 2, 1-3 million dollars because for ten years it had been engaged in swindling the government by the use of false scales. In the second case the company made an expensive compromise with a compet-! itor who charged that it had succeeded by a trick in preventing him from open ing a refinery. The story of this case, briefly stated, is as follows: Mr. Adolph Segal in 1903 organized the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Co., for the purpose of competing with the sugar trust. The company built in Philadelphia one of the most complete and well equipped sugar refineries in the country. Before the refinery was opened Mr. Segal found himself finan cially involved, and borrowed 1 1-4 mil lion dollars from Gustav E. Kissel. The security for the loan consisted chiefly of stock of the new refining company, and with it went the condition that during the term of the loan the holder of the collateral should name the di rectors of the company. Mr. Segal was of course entirely ignorant of the fact that the man who was doing him this favor was n agent of the sugar trust. Mr. Kissel and three clerks of the trust were at once elected directors, and voted that the new refinery should not be opened. For six years this magnifi cent plant has laid idle, and not a pound of sugar has gone through its macinery. As a result, Mr. SegaV this independent refiner who had been duped into falling under the control of the trust, was financially ruined. His down fall involved a real estate company in Philadelphia, whose president there upon committed suicide. Suit was brought against the American Sugar Refining Company, and just as the case was going to the jury it was announced that a settlement had been reached be tween the trust and the Pennsylvania company. The exact terms of the settlement have not yet been made public, but it is reported that the closing of that re finery will cost the trust between 2 and 3 million dollars. The evidence in the case is being investigated by the Attor ney General, in order to ascertain if if there is sufficient grounds for crim inal prosecution under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. So the sugar trust has twice in rapid succession been piU loried before the world once in open court and once by its agreement to a settlement which is equivalent to a confession of guilt. The rascality in the hrst case was systematic aud long continued, covering at least a decade, and probably a much longer space of time. But the second offense was more despicable, for it consisted in ruining a competitor under cover of an act of friendship and assistance the loan of the money necessary for the carrying out of his business. It is this kind of conduct which causes and in part justi fie3 the widespread popular feeling against monopolistic corporations, and in a lesser degree, against all corporations.
