Sueur Meet tinmen Complain. A correspondent writing from Fro rnont complains of tho growers' wrongs thus: Tho sugar factory representa tives throughout tho cntiro stato visit ed every hamlet portraying tho beau ties and profit of raising sugar beets. They wero very successful in this par ticular line, for hundreds at their earn est solicitation invested every dollar they had, and nob being content with this even went so far as to encumber themselves by mortgaging, somo oven their household effects, in order to in alto a complete su;ccs. Why notV Five dollars per ton and twenty tons per acre and no dancer of drouth. It'a simply llko finding ' money. Oh, no. It's u dcplorublo fact, considered in Its entirety. Wo havo never witnessed a more gross misrepresentation. Tho facts and results aro simply this: Wo havo Hundreds ox acres ot beets on uanu, and aro confronted daily with a reply, "Wo will notify you whon to ship, as they do not como up to tho require montsof our contract" Wo might bo content with this particular phase of tho situation if somo of tho favored few did not get to ship forty to fifty cars, while other adjoining fields planted on tho samo day and under llko conditions rccclvo no orders at all, only "Silo or disnoso of them if vou can." Stop nnd reflect a moment When you consider winter Is staring theso poor unfortu autoitvliv lttrncw-Tintrnot'atrTrrniinWr dollnr to meet its exigencies. It is no uncommon sight to sco tears tricklo down tho chocks of tho brawny sons ot toil. And well may them weep, lor it is a well known fact that If overy man should receive an order to ship at onco they could not harvest this immense crop of beets before frost would inter fere; hence tho eagerness for tho longed for word, 'Ship."

Tho Oxnard boot sugar company nv Grand Ibland has offered to take those beets which do not como up to tho standard in purity and saccharine con tents, in the following circular: "Wo havo been asked by several committees representing beet growers if wo would accept beets below 12 per cent sugar and 80 per cent purity at a reduced price, with tho object of saviug us much ns posslblo of the crop. Wo aro disposed to do this, after wo havo worked up beets coming up to tho re quirement of our contract, for which wo pay S5, In compliance with tho law passed by tho lato legislature. Wo are notablo today to say what wo can pay for such low test beets, but after care fully investigating tho whole subject wo will, within ono week, name you a prlco which you can afford to pay for all beets containing less than 10 per cent sugar and 70 per cent purity. The season is advanced and when you har vest your crop, which wo think It wise now to do, bo careful in tapping your beets to cut off all tho frozon part, that they may bo well preserved in tho si los." Since thero are always somo boots which will not como up to tho require ments, and which thereforo are led to stock, this offer. If tho prices to be named later nre reasonable, will no doubt bo accepted with satisfaction to tho producers, especially slnco in Hall county thero is an abundance of other food lor wintering stock. Ida Gniklir Murderer. Blair dispatch: Morgan, who Is ac cused of u criminal assault upon and murder of Ida Gaskill, is known here, and ho was jailed hero on tho charge ot attempting n criminal assault but was released. His release was because the jury thought tho evidence not strong enough to convict His intonded victim, as charged, was a girl 7 years old, He hud tried coaxing a number of girls to go out walking with him but failed and was watched. Wheu ho enticed this girl out of town und had cone about a quarter of a mile her sis ter and a young man overtook them, and feeling certain that his designs wero evil, they rescued the girl and had Morgan arrested. That was two years ugo, Not long after Morgun was convicted of burglary of Arndt's cigar factory nnd saloon and sent to tho pen itentiary, Homey Mint l'ay. Judgo Shlras today, says a Lincoln dispatch, rendered his decision in the caso wherein Albert Watkins, as re ceiver for tho Ponca National bank, sought to havo a transfer of stock by G. W. li Dorsoy to Frank Dorsey sot uside. The receiver alleged that Frank Dorsey was insolvent and tho transfer just before tho failure of tho bank was to protect G. W. E. Dorsoy from liabil ity to assessment The court set aside tho transfer, and the judgment recites that (. V. Ii Dorsey must pay the' as sessments, which amount to 100 per ! cent. MUCHLY REPUBLICAN. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ONE WAY POLITICALLY. Itepnbllcan Tnk All There Was In Sight Ktttn Maryland unit Kentucky Wheel Into lUpnbllcnn Lino Democrat! nnd X'opullsU Not Jn It to Any Extent. Itesttlt of the Election. Elections wero held on tho Cth in twelvo states and ono territory In tho United States. Tho territory is Utah, and tho states ro Nebraska, Kansas, Iown, Kentucky, Massachusetts. Mary land, Mississippi, Now .tcrsey, Now York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vir ginia. Tho election in most of. tho states was upon local issues pure and sltnplo or upon other questions which do not divtdo tho two Croat national parties. Itcturns received from vari ous points aro as follows: NKIIIIARKA. Omaha, Nov. 7. Latest and almost complcto returns from tho city and county sustain, with lew exceptions, tho estimate of tho result of tho elec tion as printed. .JltoalcJi's, plurality for mayor over Brownis 08.1 nn.UilUho eltv oMces will bo filled by nion named at the repub lican convention. Complcto returns havo been received from every voting district in tho city on city ofllccrs showing alt republicans elected.' The same is true regarding tho school board. Two of tho county commissioners on tho citizens' ticket wero successful. For sheriff tho re publican candidate was elected. Tho returns on the stato judicial tick et so far ns received indicate a very close election, In fact, the result is so much in doubt that both republicans and populists are claiming tho victory. Chairman llainer of tho republican Htate central cdmmlttco, whllo admit ting that upon tho surface of the situa tion tho contest is a closo one, refuses to admit for a moment that Judgo Nor val has not been re-elected by a safo plurality. Returns practically complete from tho Fourth judicial district show that tho citizens elect two judges, Keysor nnd Duflle, whllo the republicans elect Ilakcr. Dickinson, Powell Scott and Slubaugli. It is posslblo that tho miss ing precinct in tho Eighth ward of Omaha may elect Ferguson instead of Duflle, but Fnwcott of tho republican ticket is out of tho race by GOO votes. Omaha, Nov. Nov. 8. Official returns from Nebraska aro being made up very slowly, but as far as received they in- illcato tho re-election of Chief Justice Norval by a plurality of somewhere in tho neighborhood of 0,000. From returns at hand tho World Ilcrald feels safo In giving the follow ing as tho list ot district judgs elected: First District Stull and Lntton, reps. Second District Ramsey, dem. Third District Hall and Holmes, present incumbents, and Cornish, nlL reps. Fourth District Keysor and Scotfy present incumbents, and Raker, Dick inson, Fawcett, Powell and Slabaugh, all reps.

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 halgo is re-elected by 03,444 plurality, which is 1,033 votes above his plurality labt year. Municipal suffrage for wo men was defeated by a majority esti mated at over 75,000. PKNN8YLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. G. Returns re ceived up to midnight indicate that llenjamiu J. Hay ward, republican, lias been elected state treasurer by about 150,000 plurality, a republican gain over 1803, which was also an off year, of about 15,000. This state also elects seven judges of tho new superior court Of theso tho six republicans nominated aro elected. The seventh man on tho ticket is in doubt. KANSAS. Kansas City, Nov. 7. Kansas re turns today show that the republicans roadu practically a clean sweep of tho state, carrying a majority of tho coun- ties entire, and electing many or the officers of the others.

Tho re publican stato committee now claim 70,000 for Drake as the least figure. Indications nro that Drako will run slightly behind tho rest of the stato ticket Tho entire stato has cast a light voto but tho republicans show a net gam over last year in spite of this.

SriuxoriKLP. 111., Nov. 7. It Is tht belief of Governor Altgeld that the greater republican landslide of yester day was brought about chiefly through tho treachery of the national adminis tration und the, tfold bug wing of tho democracy-it. Wall street Democratic conventions in many states, ho saya, were packed by postmasters and meni als of the administration who forced the administration or Cleveland's policy on tho money question. The stato lias gone largely republican. NKW ji:iisi:y. Nkwaiik. Nov. 7. The election ol Griggs was known to bo a certainty at 10 o'clock last night, but at that hour l'J.OOO and 14,000 wero all that the lead ers of tho republican party claimed.

Tho republi cans from ono end of tho stato to tho other wero celebrating today and boast ing that this time next year will find New Jersey safely in tho republican ranks. KENTUCKY. Washington, Nov. 7. The hopeless condition presented by tho Kentucky democracy is regarded as a rebuko to the frco silver democrats, and tho pres ident and Secretary Carlisle havo con fidently expected tho defeat of Hardin and Dlackburn, or their election by ma jorities so meager. as to amount practi cally to defeat UTAH. Svlt Lake, Nov. 7. The republicans havo elected tho stato ticket und car ried tho legislature by a safe majority. Republicans elect twenty-nine repre sentatives, democrats seven, with nine still in doubt. Three judges of thu. su premo court are elected. HKPUIILICANB make gains in coi.oiiado. Denveii, Nov. 7. Party linos wero not closely drawn in the Colorado coun ty elections, but tho republicans claim to havo made gains outsido ol uenvor. In this (Arapahoo) county tho election was very close, and tho result being still in doubt as to somo of the offices Two candidates on tho taxpayers' tick et (General Frank Hall for treasuret and Willard L. Ames for assessor) ap pear on tho returns so far received as having been certainly elected. T lie re publicans probably hold all the other officers, 'i'liu result is regarded as a defeat of tho tramway company and tho Denver Union Water company, which fought Ames bitterly on account of his efforts as an alderman to sccuro u reduction of water rates. 1NGERSOLL ON POLITICS. CrltlclHes Cleveland nnd Predicts Itrpub llcan Success in 1HUG. Pirrnuno, Pa., Nov. 8. Discussing tho result of tho 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 advico and tul es none. Ho is utterly indifferent as to the ud vico of others. Ho imagines that ho Is the whole Democratic party, with btomething left over. No party can carry that load." t "Roosevelt and Strong and Park hurst gave New York eity back to Tammany.

AS TO THE ELECTION. REORGANIZATION SENATE. OF THE The Upper Ilranch of Concrem Will be rtcpubllcnn Tho Two Senntors From Utah Will Take Their Sent as Soon as Choien, nnd dive Control of the Senate to KepnMlcani Ilrndley' I'lnratlty In Kentucky. Election Aftermath. Wasiiinoton, Nov. 8. As a result of tho elections Tuesday, tho Republicans will gain five United States Senators two from Utah and ono each from Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland, and tho Democrats will loso thrco senators ono each from Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio. Nono of these changes will become effective, however, until March 4, 1807, except in the case of tho two Utah Senators, who will tako tholr seats as soon ns chosen. There after, tho numerical strength in tho Senate will be as follows: Republicans, 44; Democrats, 30; Populists 0; vacant (Delaware), 1. Total, S3. If tho Delaware vacancy Is filled by a Repub lican it will glvo a Republican ma jarlty In the upper branch of Congress. The direct effect of theso Repub lican victories upon tho senate will bo to make It absolutely certain that tho Republicans will not enter into any combination with tho Populists, di--rccjtly or indirectly. to.ouir.a,tho,or ganlzalloH of tho senato at tho ap proaching hession. They have simply to wait a fow months and then tako control with sufficient votes of their own party member.-,. In the mean time, with a Democratic executive in the White houso nothing could be ac complished In tho way of legislation, even if tho Republicans securo tho organization of the senate, and they are not looking now for empty honors. It is interesting to note that before March 4, 1807, the successors to oilier Democratic Senators may be chosen. A Republican may como from Now York in place of David 11. Hill; from Illinois in placo ot John M. Palmer, and from Wisconsin In pluce of Will iam 1'. Vilas. If Indiana and Missouri should go Republican next year Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Vest would Ml op aside, and their places would be filled by Senators representing the Republi can party. BOOMFOR BRADLEY. The Republican Govcrnor-KIcct of Ken tucky For VIcc-rresldent. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3. Republi can claims and Democratic concessions 6hov that not only has Kentucky elected tho full Kepubliean Stato ticket but that the complexion of tho Legislature assures a Republican suc cessor to United States Senator Dlack burn. Stnto Auditor Norman, the Demo cratic campaign chairman, in a state ment to tho Commercial said that Blackburn's defeat is assured. "The Republicans, with the help of tho Populists, will assuredly control tho loglslatxire," he said, "and Dlack burn is sure to be defeated. Kentucky Is now a Republican stato. Tho peo plo wanted a chaugo and they took It, the Republicans being aided by both Populists and A. P. A.'s. No ono could have carried Kentucky at this election, not even Cnrlisle." Colonel Jiradley will bo the choice of his stato for the vice presidency, and his friends claim that ho will havo tho support of the Southern Re publicans. It is a significant fact the friends of Governor Morton, as well as the political champions of Governor McKluley, have all been in constant correspondence with tho friends of Colonel llradley, and have urged him to push his claims for second place on tho ticket Colonel llradley has there fore refused to discuss the matter, but it is announced by Mr. Walter For rester, secretary of Colonel Dradloy's campaign commlt.ee. and managing editor of tho Commercial, the Repub lican organ of the state, that Colonel Bradley's claims for national recog nition will bo urged in the next na tional convention. HARRISON PLEASED lint Ho AVIll Say Nothing About Next Years' Fol!tlc. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8. General Harrison, when asked for an expres sion regarding Tuesday's election said: "Oh, I have nothing to say, except that I heartily rejoiced at the victory of Tuesday. I am glad ns any one can bo that the principles of the Republican party should meet so strong and 'wido nn indorsement from the people. The States of New Jersey, Maryland und Kentucky are new stars in ou- crown, but they are none the less welcome. I am glad that the Republicans nf theso states, who have bo long fought the battle lu vain, have now reaped a reward for their devotion to Republican prin ciples " "And what effect will the election have in ISOOV" "Oh, 1 do not care to talk about 1800. Every one knows as well as I do what tho result of yesterday pre sages." Hrailley'H Plurality 15,000. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8.

The Naval OHlcer Who Opened Coroj to tho World Pae Awajr. Wasiiinoton, Nov. 8. Rear Ad miral Kobert W. Shufeldt, retired, died at his home In this city this morn ing after a long illness following an attack of tho grip and an accident while driving about a year ago. Admiral Shufeldt was appointed a midshipman from New York in May, le39, became, rear admiral in May, 18S3, and retired in 1884.

TtTcnty-FlTe notllcTnken From the De troit Halnn, DETnotT, Mich., Nov. 8, A gaping rent nearly forty feet wido from top to botton of a five story business block, twcnty-Qvo bodies recovered, a score of persons injured and fully twenty persons missing, with a certainty that many more dead bodies aro beneath the ruins, such aro tho results of tho explosion of tho boilers in the building nt tho corner of Lamed and Shelby streets, occupied by tho lietroit liven ing Journal and several other tenants. When tho explosion occurred tho building collapsed nnd tho fioors fell to tho basement, carrying with them at least fifty persons who had not the. slightest warning of their daugor. Tho cloud of dust that arose was quickly succeeded by smoke from the fires which started in the rums. Carelessness is undoubtedly tho cause of the disaster, but whero tho responsibility rests is ns yet prob lematical. Thomas Thomnson, tho engineer was painfully injured. Ho said he could assign no reason for the explosion. City Holler Inspector Mc Gregor says ho Inspected tho hollers lust August and had found them up'to. tho requirements. Somo of the em ployes in tho building assert that tho boilors wero old and known to be unsafe. After the fins had been checked, tho work of rescue was begun. Annlo L. O'Donohuo was tho first found nnd was taken to a hospital, Then two mora, persons wero rescued. Then, near the top was seen tho arta'apd leg . of a man. Theso moved, .showing that ho was not dead. When, how ever, ho was rescued ho was uncon scious. The fire hroko out again and when it was checked five bodies wero found under the rear walk. All were dead and horribly disfigured. Another body was found at 12:30. It was that of a young man in blouse and overalls and it lay under all tho debris on tho sidewalk", the head toward the building; and the feet near the curbstone. A great block of stone had fallen on his head, crushing It fiat The top of tho head had burst open and thu brainn were scattered all about.
