Five dollars per ton and twenty tons

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.

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

Omaha, Nov. 7. Latest and almost

tho estimate of tho result of tho elec
tion as printed.

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

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.

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

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

it is announced by Mr. Walter For

FORTY-FIVE PERISHED.
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. The seventh
body, apparently that of a machinist,
was taken from the front of the build
ing, soon after 1 o'clock, and then tho
workmen were driveu back, while a
rope was thrown over an overhanging
wall and was pulled down by a gang
of men stationed on a building across
the street
Ono of the worst incidents was a
struggle between Coronor liutler and
an undertaker in 'the employ of Giest
Bros., against Undertaker Frank
Gibbs. The latter clung to tho
stretcher, whllo tho body was being
carried out through the crowd. As
the spectators wero becoming excilcd,
tho police, in the interests of order,
rushed Gibbs outsido the fire lines and
would not permit him to return.
SEAL HERDS DECIMATED.

Wasiiinoton, Nov. . Captain C. L.
nooper of tho revenue cutler Rush,
who commanded the Bohting nca fleet
last season, is moro than ever con
vinced of the ultimate destruction of

seals, but now the number is probably
less than 500,000. The regulations pro
mulgated under tho Paris tribunal of
arbitration do not, in his estimation,
meet the requirements of tho case for
the preservation of seal life. One of
these prohibits sealing within sixty
miles of tho Sea islands. Tho
greater number of the female seals go
out to tho sea to a disunion far ex
ceeding sixty miles, wltoro they
aro killed by the sealers. At least
two-thirds of tho 30,000 killed this year
by tho pelagic sealers were-females,
and the records substantiate the state
ment. Tho regulations issued under
the arbitration tribunal prohibiting
tho shooting of seals in Bering sea
and permitting tho snearing of them
outside thu prohibited zone was bene
ficial in that nearly every seal that
was speared was caught, whereas by
shooting them they sink and are often
lost
Mr. Clc eland Smiles Quietly.
Washington, Nov. 8. President
Cleveland Is charging none of the re
sults of the election to his administra
tion. On the contrary, ho is taking a
quiet smile over certain features of
the returns. Senator Gorman declares
that President Cleveland's personal
followers contributed to tho success of
Lowndes. The administration Demo
crats appear to be willing to assume
tho responsibility as another achieve
ment for reform. Thero seems to bo
no doubt that thoy expected and de
sired the defeat of Gorman's ticket
The president nnd every member of
his cabinet took a deep interest in the
cause of Campbell In Ohio and ex
pressed regret at his defeat. The
helpless condition presented by tho
Kentucky Democracy is regarded as a
rebuke to the free silver Democrats
and the president und Secretary Car
lisle have confidently expected the de
feat of Hardin und Blackburn, or their
elections by majorltiesso meager as to
amount practically to defeat.
