Sufur Beet Growers Complain.
A correspondent writing from Fre
mont complains of the growers' wrongs,
thus: The sugar factory representa
tives throughout the entire state visit
ed every hamlet portraying the beau
ties and profit of raising sugar beets.
They were very successful in this par
ticular line, for hundreds at their earn
est solicitation invested every dollar
they had, and not being content with
this even went so far as to encumber
themselves by mortgaging, some even
their household effects, in order to
make a complete success. Why not?
Five dollars per ton and twenty tons
per acre and no danger of drouth. It's
simply like finding money. Oh, no.
It's a deplorable fact, considered in its
entirety. We have never witnessed a
more gross misrepresentation. The facts
and results are simply this: We have
hundreds of acres of beets on hand,
and are confronted daily with a reply,
"We will notify you when to ship, as
they do not come up to the require
ments of our contract." We might be
content with this particular phase of
the situation if some of the favored few
did not get to ship forty to fifty cars,
while other adjoining fields planted on
the same day and under like conditions
receive no orders at all, only "Silo or
dispose of them if you can." Stop and
reflect a moment. When you consider
winter is staring these ' poor unfortu
nates in the face and not an available
dollar to meet its exigencies. It is no
uncommon fight to see tears trickle
down the cheeks of the brawny sons of
toil. And well may them weep, for it
11 1 a . . .
is a wen Known tact mat n every man
should receive an order to ship at once
they could not harvest this immense
crop of beets before frost would inter
fere; hence the eagerness for the.
longed for word, "Ship."
Kloplng Girls Return.
A Waverly dispatch says: Miss Ward,
one of the young women who eloped
from here last week, has returned and
gives full details of the case. She
states that there were a number in the
plot and some acted as accomplices,
one of whom was bribed with a fine
present. He was about to give the
snap away when he was threatened.
The party left Lincoln on the 2 o'clock
train for Omaha, but paid the conduc
tor to let them off at a suburb of
Omaha. They then took a dummy for
Council Bluffs. , In a few hours they
were joyfully on their way for Kansas
City, at which place the young women
realized their situation and concluded
to proceed no further. Druggist Vin
ing left at once with them for their
home. Before they started back Dr.
McCandless had Miss Miller return the
watch that he had presented her.
When the party reached St. Joseph on
the return trip Miss Miller stopped,
meeting a friend there. Vining and
Miss Ward came on to Greenwood,
from which place she notified her par
ents here yesterday afternoon by letter
and then by telephone that she would
return home at once if received with
out any punishment or rebuke, and
that she and Vining would be married
as soon as a divorce could be procured
through the Arizona courts This
afternoon J. M. Miller received a mes
sage from the manager of the St.
Joseph Herald, asking if Miss Miller
could return to the parental roof, to
which he wired "Yes" at once. The
parents of the girls are greatly relieved
at the outcome and shed tears of joy
'nstead of sadness.
Encouraging Beet Producer.
The Oxnard beet sugar company ax
Grand Island has offered to take those
beets which do not come up to the
standard in purity and saccharine con
tents, in the following circular: "We
have been asked by several committees
representing beet growers if we would
accept beets below 12 per cent sugar
and 80 per cent purity at a reduced
price, with the object of saving as
much as possible of the crop. We are
disposed to do this, after we have
worked up beets coming up to the re
quirement of our contract, for which
we pay S5, in compliance with the law
passed by the late legislature. We are
not able today to say what we can pay
for such low test beets, but after care
fully investigating the whole subject
we will, within one week, name you a
price which you can afford to pay for
all beets containing less than 10 per
eent sugar and 70 per cent purity. The
season is advanced and when you har
vest your crop, which we think it wise
now to do, be careful in tapping your
beets to cut off all the frozen part, that
they may be well preserved in the si
los." Since there are always some beets
which will not come up to the require
ments, and which therefore are fed to
stock, this offer, if the prices to be
named later are reasonable, will no
doubt be accepted with satisfaction to
the producers, especially since in Hall
county there is an abundance of other
bod for wintering stock.
Ida GaskiU'a Murderer.
Blair dispatch: Morgan, who is ac
cused of a criminal assault upon and
murder of Ida Gaskill, is known here,
and he was jailed here on the charge
of attempting a criminal assault but
was released. His release was because
the jury thought the evidence not
strong enough to convict. His intended
victim, as charged, was a girl 7 years
old. He had tried coaxing a number
of girls to go out walking with him
but failed and was watched. When he
enticed this girl out of town and had
gone about a quarter of a mile her sis
ter and a young man overtook them,
and feeling certain that his designs
were evil, they rescued the girl and
had Morgan arrested. That was two
years ago. Not long after Morgan was
convicted of burglary of Arndt's cigar
factory and saloon and sent to the pen
Hcntiarv. Dorsey Most Pay.
Judge Shiras today, says a Lincoln
dispatch, rendered his decision in the
case wherein Albert Watkins, as re
ceiver for the Ponca National bank,
sought to have a transfer of stock by
G. W. E. Dorsey to Frank Dorsey set
aside. The receiver alleged that Frank
Dorsey was insolvent and the transfer
just before the failure of the bank was
to protect G. W. II Dorsey from liabil
ity to assessment The court set aside
the transfer, and the judgment recites
that G. W. E. Dorsey must pay the as
sessments, which amount to 100 per
cent
SILVER LEADERS FIRM
THEY ARE NOT DISMAYED OYER
THE ELECTION RESULTS.
SENATOR JONES' VIEWS-
The Nevada Senator Strongly of the
Opinion That There Will Be a Separ
ate Silver Party In the Campaign
Next Tear Split In Alabama
Between General Oates
and the Senators.
San Francisco, Nov. 11. United
States Senator John P. Jones of Ne
vada is strongly of the opinion that
there will be a separate silver party in
the campaign of next year, the forma
tion of such a party growing" out of
the silver conference at Chicago, to be
held some time near the Christmas hol
idays. A call is now being- prepared by the
executive committee, which grew out
of the Memphis conference of last
summer. This committee consists of
Congressman J. II. Acklen of Tennes
see, M. W. Eusk of Cojorado and Jo
seph Batallal of Vermont. The Amer
ican Bimetallic league, of which Gen
eral A. J. Warner is chairman, with
headquarters at Washington, and the
National Bimetallic union of Salt
Lake, 11. C Chambers chairman, are
working- in conjunction with it.
Secretary George P. Keeney of the
local branch of the American League
has had frequent conferences with
Senator Jones since he has been here
and he stated that Mr. Jones, since the
result of the elections in the East has
become known, is particularly anx
ious for the conference, Mr. Jones expressing-
himself as follows on the
outcome of the elections: "I think
that the elections just held have dem
onstrated beyond the possibility of
any doubt whatever that the issue in
the campaign of 189G will be flatly be
tween the champions of gold and
silver; that finance and not tariff
is to De the only question, ana
that it can no longer be settled
within party lines. The gold and sil
ver men knifed each other in
these elections regardless of party.
It is an object lesson to silver men all
over the nation. It is the battle be
tween metals to be forced now on a
straight issue and along unmistabable
lines. The gold brokers of London
and New York will dominate the gov
ernment of the country for the next
four years also, whichever of the two
old parties win. The best thing for
the silver men to do is to get together
at Chicago and outline a plan of or
ganization for a completely separate
and independent party. The people
have been pretty well educated and
they know quite well what free and
unlimited coinage of silver means to
their business interets. In my opinion
a distinctively silver party could win.
IN ALABAMA.
Open Split Between Governor Oates and
the Two Senators. i
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 11. Demo
cratic harmony in Alabama went into
pieces when Governor Oates announced
his intention to again lead the South
ern Democrats in the state campaign
on the sound money issue, and Sen
ators Morgan and Pugh, Congressman
Bankhead and several other silver
Democrats, as the result of a confer
ence held here yesterday, decided to
make a hot silver campaign inside of
the party.
The conference adopted Senator
Morgan's suggestion that each county
Democratic authority fix the qualifica
tion of voters in primaries as a declar
ation to support the nominee. The
state committee has heretofore denied
admission to the primaries all who ,
failed to support the nominee in the
previous election. The Morgan plan
lets in Populists, who will help, to
nominate a silver Democrat for gov
ernor. Congressman Underwood and
his followers were for party harmony,
and the temporary regulation of silver
to the rear, but were voted out.
Senators Morgan and Pugh will
stamp the state for silver, beginning
at Tuscaloosa to-day. It is practically
conceded that they will support
Joseph F.Johnson of Birmingham, who
was defeated by Oates in 1891
Not a Rich Man's Bad Son.
St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 11. The body
of the burglar killed at Newmarket by
Dr. II ale and buried at Weston, has
again been exhumed. It was at first
identified by a St. Louis detective as
that of Harry Hugueley, the son of a
Boston millionaire. Colonel II. C.
Whitley, formerly chief of the United
States secret service, who now lives at
Emporia, Kan., went to Weston and
at the request of young Hugueley's
father had the body exhumed again,
lie said at once that it was not
Hugueley's body. He knew the
young. r Hugueley from childhood and
was a close friend of his father.
Young Hugueley is now living in
Indiana, Whitley says.
, Chinese 8oldlers Mutiny. (
Shanghai, Nov. 1L The Mercury
reports that a mutiny has broken out
among the soldiers of Kin Kiang, and
that they are defying the officials who
seem powerless, as they refuse to sur
render their arms. Affairs are in a
very critical state and a panic exists
among the natives and the wealthier
classes are leaving. The foreign resi
dents are armed, having been warned
and prepared for any emergency.
Fatally Wounded at a Dance.
Nebraska City, Neb., Novll. Last
night at 1:30 o'clock Tom Maher, a
character about town, who had been
drinking heavily, became enraged at
the sight of Miss Maude Fessler pre-,
paring to go home from a dance under
the escort of another, man, drew his
revolver and shot her twice. Fred
Plattner received two bullets in his
cheek while attempting to disarm
Maher.
NEBRASKA SILVER MEN.
They Are Not Satisfied With Their Show
ing at the Election.
Omaha, Neb.. Nov. il. Much inter
est has been created among- Nebraska
Democrats as a result of election re
turns, showing the relative vote of the
two wings; Mahoney, administration
candidate for Supreme court, received
14,500, and Phelps, silver man, 8,000.
Both went on the ticket under the Su
preme court ruling, as Democrats, and
the silver men claim that this was un
fair to their interests, and that it was
not a proper test. The silver men no w
suggest that the silver question be
submitted to a primary election in
Nebraska, the regular Democratic
committee and the bolting Democratic
committee to agree upon primaries to
be held at the same time and at the
same places, and each voter to be
called upon to express himself on the
money question, and the State con
vention to instruct its delegates ac
cordingly. It a majority of the Dem
ocrats of Nebraska are in favor of a 10
to ! plank in the next national con
vention they are to be entitled to the
delegation. If the majority of the
Democrats in Nebraska are in favor
of the present financial policy, then
these Democrats to have a right to
represent the State in the national
conventian.
This matter, they say, can only be
determined by a primary election and
the silver Democrats say they are not
afraid of such an expression from the
voters. They assert that if the gold
men refuse to submit the question to
to a primary election they will be
stopped from claiming to represent a
majority of the Democratic voters.
The opponents of the white metal
have little to say on the subject, as
serting that the election results indi
cate clearly that the silver Democrats
are outnumbered two to one in Ne
braska, and they think they have
nothing to fear in future contests.
SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Great Enthusiasm Displayed at a Mass
Meeting In New York.
! New York. Nov. 11. The Cuban
sympathizers in New York held a mass
meeting last night at the Murray Hill
Lyceum, which was a great display of
enthusiasm. Juan Fraga presided.
On the platform with him were
Senors Tomas Estrada Pal ma,
who was recently appointed pleni
potentiary delegate abroad for
the Cuban revolutionary party;
Enrique Trujillo, editor of El
Porvenir; Gonzalo De Quesada, secre
tary of the Cuban junta, and Senors
Terreforte, Rivas and Checon. In the
balcony were Senora Cespedes and her
daughter, and Senora Trujillo, presi
dent of the club, Hyas De Cuba.
Senor Trujillo was the first speaker,
and predicted that the liberation of
Cuba is now only a question of a few
months. Senor Quesada paid a glow
ing tribute to the memory of young
Cespedes. The speaker's reference to
Maximo Gomez evoked prolonged ap
plause, as did also his recital of the
deeds of valor of the insurgents
WALLER DYING.
The Ex-Consul Writes His Last Letter to
His Family.
New York, Nov. 11. A special from
Washington says the family of ex-Consul
John M. Waller believe that his
health has been permanently broken
by his confinement in French prisons.
His letters are all written in a
most despondent tone. In letters
dated September 30, from Clairvaux
prison, just received, Mr Waller
writes that he never expects to see his
family again, and states that this may
be the last letter they will ever re
ceive from him. It is evident that
his health is extremely bad, for the
French authorities have transferred
him from Clairvaux to Nimes and have
placed him on hospital diet and allow
ance. It is expected that the State
department will tace some decisive
action in the case before Congress
meets, as Mr. Waller's attorneys have
been instructed to file ' their brief at
once.
WRECK ON THE SANTA FE.
Five Persons Injured, One of Whom Is
Likely to Die.
Gibard, Kan., Nov. 11. A discon
nected part of a Santa Fe local ran
into an extra freight on a grade ten
miles north of Girard last night,
smashing up a coach of the local and
five cars. Five persons were injured,
one of whom may die. The crews
escaped by jumping. Those injured
are: C. W. French, drummer of Chi
cago; Charles Abend, drummer of Cin
cinnati, Ohio; Messrs. Armstrong and
Soloman and an unknown man who
was working on the Santa Fe bridge
gang.
NICARAGUA CANAL
It Will Be Constructed With New York
and London Capital.
Chicago, Nov. 11. The Evening
Post asserts that the Nicaragua canal
is to be built; that New York and
London capital will foot the bills and
American contractors do the work.
It is also said Chicago engineers and
drainage canal contractors will have a
leading part in the construction.
War Cloud at Tahlequah.
Vinita, Ind. Ter., Nov. 11. A mes
sage from Tahlequah states that much
excitement and intense feeling be
tween political factions is prevailing
and bloodshed will result unless com
promised. The conditions are similar
to those of eiffht years ago when many
men were killed. The National party
is contesting the election of Sam
Mayes as chief on the Downing ticket,
and the Indians are collecting . in the
capital armed to the teeth, determined
to aid their friends.
Colored Man Elected Judge.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 11. James C
Matthews, colored, recorder of deeds
at Washington in President Cleve
land's first administration, has been
elected judge of the Recorder's court
of this city; which office carries with
it powers of a Supreme court judge.
His majority is over 2,000. He was
nominated and elected on the regular
Democratic ticket. It is the highest
judicial office ever held by a man of
his race in this country.
MUCHLY REPUBLICAN.
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ONE
WAY POLITICALLY.
Republicans Take All There Was in Sight
Even Maryland and Kentucky Wheel
Into Republican Line Democrats and
Populists Not In It to Any Extent.
Results of the Elections.
Elections were held on the 5th in
twelve states and one territory in the
United States. The territory is Utah,
and the 6tates are Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mary
land, Mississippi, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vir
ginia. The election in most of the
states was upon local issues pure and
simple or upon other questions which
do not divide the two great national
parties. Returns received from vari
ous points are as follows:
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Nov. 7. Latest and almost
complete returns from the city and
county sustain, with few exceptions,
the estimate of the result of the elec
tion as printed.
Broatch's plurality for mayor over
Brown is 985 and all the city offices will
be filled by men named at the repub
lican convention.
Complete returns have been received
from every voting district in the city
on city officers showing all republicans
elected. The same is true regarding
the school board. Two of the county
commissioaers on the citizens' ticket
were successful. For sheriff the re
publican candidate was elected.
The returns on the state judicialiick
et so far as received indicate a very
close election, in fact, the result is so
much in doubt that both republicans
and populists are claiming the victory.
Chairman Hainer of the republican
state central committee, while admit
ting that upon the surface of the situa
tion the contest is a close one, refuses
to admit for a moment that Judge Ner
val has not been re-elected by a safe
plurality.
Returns practically complete from
the Fourth judicial district show that
the citizens elect two judges, Keysor
and Duffie, while the republicans elect
Baker, Dickinson, Powell Scott and
Slabaugh. It is possible that the miss
ing precinct in the Eighth ward of
Omaha may elect Ferguson instead of
Dufne, but Fawcett of the republican
ticket is out of the race by 500 votes.
Omaha, Nov. Nov. 8. Official returns
from Nebraska are being made up very
slowly, but as far as received they in
dicate the re-election of Chief Justice
Norval by a plurality of somewhere in
the neighborhood of 6,000.
From returns at hand the World
Herald feels safe in giving the follow
ing as the list of district judgs elected:
First District Stull and Latton, reps.
Second District Ramsey, dem.
Third District Hall and Holmes,
present incumbents, and Cornish, all
reps.
Fourtli District Keysor and Scott,
present incumbents, and Baker, Dick
inson, Fawcett, Powell and Slabaugh,
all reps.
Fifth District Bates, present incum
bent, pop, and Sedgwick, rep.
Sixth District Marshall, rep, and
Sullivan, dem, present incumbent.
Seventh District Hastings, present
incumbent, dem.
Eighth District Evans, rep.
Ninth District Robinson, present in
cumbent, pop.
Tenth District Beall, present incum
bent, pop.
Eleventh District Kendall, rep., and
Thompson, dem., present incumbent.
Twelfth District Greene, pop.
Thirteenth District Grimes, rep.
Fourteenth District Norris, rep.
Fifteenth District Kinkaid, rep.,
present incumbent, and Westover, pop.
This makes a net gain to the repub
licans of four judges, losing three and
gaining seven.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 7. Corrected returns
now at hand show that Governor Green
halge is re-elected by 63,444 plurality,
which is 1,933 votes above his plurality
last year. Municipal suffrage for wo
men was defeated by a majority esti
mated at over 75,000.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 5. Returns re
ceived up to midnight indicate that
Benjamin J. Hay ward, republican, has
been elected state treasurer by about
150,000 plurality, a republican gain
over 1893, which was also an off year,
of about 15,000. This state also elects
seven judges of the new superior court.
Of these the six republicans nominated
are elected. The seventh man on the
ticket is in doubt.
KANSAS.
Kansas Crrr, Nov. 7. Kansas re
turns today show that the republicans
made practically a clean sweep of the
state, carrying a majority of the coun
ties entire, and electing many of the
officers of the others. C K. Holliday,
independent candidate for chief justice,
admits David Martin, his republican
opponent, will have 40,000 majority.
IOWA.
Des Moines, November 6. The re
publican state committee now claim
70,000 for Drake as the least figure.
Indications are that Drake will run
slightly behind the rest of the state
ticket.
The entire state has cast a light vote
but the republicans show a net gam
over last year in spite of this. The
populists also show heavy gains. Last
year they polled 34,000 in the state; it
will be about doubled this year.
The legislature will be overwhelm
ingly republican, the best estimate be
ing sixty-seven republican members of
the house to thirty-three democrats,
and thirty-five republican senators to
fifteen democrats. - .
Washington, Nov. 7. Asa result of
the latest election returns the repub
licans gain five United States senators,
two from Utah and one from Kentucky,
Ohio and Maryland, and the democrats
lose three senators, one each from
Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio. None
of these changes become effective, how
ever, until March 4, 1897, except in the
case of the two Utah senators who will
take their seats as soon as chosen.
Thereafter the numerical strength in
the senate will be as follows: Repub
licans, forty-four; democrats, thirty
nine; populists, six; vacant (Delaware),
one; total, eighty-eigh vIf the
ware vacancy isni
it will give a repv
repu-
NEW YORK.
New Yobk, Nov. 7. The total unofS
cial vote for secretary of state is: King,
democrat, 505,590; Palmer, republican
572,525. This makes Palmer's plurality
66,535. The vote in 1893 wa.s: Palmer,
545,098; Myer, 520,614; Palmer's plural
ity, 24,484.
OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. 7. Chairman Ander
son concedes the state to the republi
cans by 90,000. Chairman Kurts saya
Bushnel's plurality will not be lesa
than 100, 000. The vote for Coxey, pop
ulist, will be about 15,000 lesa than last
year. At present the senate will stand:
Republicans, thirty; democrats, six;
fusion populist, one. In the house tha
republicans have eighty-seven and the
democrats twenty-five.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore. Nov. 7. Returns from,
every county in the state, partly esti
mated, give Lloyd Lowndes, republi
can, a majority'over E. Hurst demo
crat, for governor of 19,715. Not only
have the republicans elected their en

Springfield, 111., Nov. 7. It is tht
belief of Governor Altgeld that the
greater republican landslide of yester
day was brought about chiefly through
the treachery of the national adminis
tration and the goldbug wing of the
democracy in Wall street. Democratic
conventions in many states, he says,
were packed by postmasters and meni
als of the administration who forced
the administration or Cleveland's policy
on the money question. The state has
gone largely republican.

12,000 and 14,000 were all that the lead

Later they advanced their claims under
the influence of the press returns to

filed show that Griggs received 26,9C0

KENTUCKY.
Washington, Nov. 7. The hopeless
condition presented by the Kentucky
democracy is regarded as a rebuke to
the free silver democrats, and the pres
ident and Secretary Carlisle have con
fidently expected the defeat of Hardin
and Blackburn, or their election by ma
jorities so meager as to amount practi
cally to defeat.

REPUBLICANS MAKE GAINS IN COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 7. Party lines were
not closely drawn in the Colorado coun
ty elections, but the republicans claim
to have made gains outside cf Denver.
In this (Arapahoe) county the election
was very close, and the result being
still in doubt as to some of the offices.

and Willard L. Ames for assessor) ap
pear on the returns so far received as
having been certainly elected. The re

officers. The result is regarded as a.
defeat of the tramway company and
the Denver Union Water company,

INCERSOLL ON POLITICS.
Criticises Cleveland and Predict Repub
lican Snccess In 1891.
PlTTBURG, Pa., Nov. 8. Discussing
the result of the elections, Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll said:
"Cleveland's administration is a
failure, a succession of blunders. The
Democrats are dissatisfied with Cleve
land. He is obstinate, unsocial, ego
tistic, asks no advice and tales none.
He is utterly indifferent as to the ad
vice of others. He imagines that he
is the whole Democratic party, with
something left over. No party can
carry that load."
"Roosevelt and Strong and Park-
hurst gave New York city back to
Tammany. The people wanted a lit
tle liberty, and were not willing to go
back to the days of Cotton Mather.
Ohio settled Brice; that is good. Mary
land murdered Gorman; that is good.
Kentucky went Republican. I know
of no expression that will suit that;
it is too good. AU this shows what is
to happen in 1896.
"I think the issues of the next presi
dential contest will be just the same as
they are this year. Both parties will
be for good ruoney, and consequently
the tariff will take the lead. Of course,
the Democratic party will make sever
al blunders before the next election.
After all, protection is the issue. We
want more revenue, and the people
do not want more tax on beer
or stamps on checks and contracts.
They do not want internal taxation.
They Jrrant to raise the money for
the most part at the custom house. It
may be that the Democrats will advo
cate State banks. If they do, that
will be enough to kill their party. We
want no more State bank monev in
this country. We want our paper to
be as good as gold equal always to
the best mpney in the world. Harri
son is not in the presidential race.
Allison is somewhat dangerous, but I
imagine it will be between Reod and
McKinley. Whoever is nominated will
be elected
