HARTIG was compelled to unload a carof beets this week , says the Sutton - ton Register , and peddle them out , because - cause the Grand Island factory refused to receive them , claiming they were . below the standard. TUE farm house of AutonKrofta , Sr. , who lives some three or four miles southeast of Table Rock , was burned to the ground while all the family was absent but a very little girl. Very little of thecontents were saved. JAMES D. CARMIChAEL , One of the pioneer residents of Otoc county , died last week , aged 83 years. Mr. Carmi- chad founded the now defunct village of Minersvillc , in Otoc county. He leaves a widow and one daughter. THE Lincoln and Dawson county irrigation - gation bonds , to the amount of $275- 000 , were carried by a vote of ninety- eight to eighteen. The canal , when completed , vill waterabout5O,000 acres of land as rich as any in the world. A FARMER who lives near the Colfax countyline was in Columbus and re- tortcd a fatal malady which is working - ing great destruction among the bogs in that locality. He said he lost sixteen - . teen a few days ago in aboutiwo hours. CUBIST IIAUPT , living in Happy fbi- low , Plattsmoith , indulged in a little wife-beating , and was subsequently ar- rested. The neighbors are indignant over his actions and threaten his life should lie be caturlit at the business again. As A. fl. BIRD was returning home from Cedar Rapids his horse became unmanageable and h wa throwi from his cart and instantly dl1ed. Mr. Bird was an extensive farmer and resided - sided on his father's ranch eight miles below Cedar Rapids. EIGJIT hundred and seventy-seven bags of sugar , says the .Norfolk New's , were turned out at the factory yesterday - day in ten hours. J. Vt' . Covert , W. B. light and D. Lee performed the feat of sewing , marking and weighing 100 bags of sugar in fiuty.eight minutes. . THE fence gang on the Burlington & Missouri brought in word to Allian e that a man had been found by the track eight miles east of that place with his head beaten into a jelly , it is supposed by a club. No trace of the murdered man's identity has been found , but he is supposed to have been one of a number of tramps who were walking east. TIlE citizens of the east partof Fran- tier have taken steps to divide the county by running the line north and south on the east side of and near the village of Stoekville. The people of that part of the county ( Eustis and vicinity - cinity ) contend that the county is - altogether - gether too large , and are weary of haying - ing to driveso far over rough roads in order to ieach the county seat Mus. ; L r. ADAm of Madison , aged 62'ears , accompanied her husband to get a load of straw. When crossing a lough she s1ippI from the load head foremost , struck the hard ground with . such tforce that herscalp was cut across rightunder the eyebrows from one ear to theother and the whole torn back fr.om.and over the top of the skull several - eral inches.

Show , .a prominent citizen. signed 4 ' \Vliitecaps , " ordering Mr. Skew to leave the city within ten dayor suffer the consequences. The supposition is ) that thiscomes from parties who were instrumental in having Mr. Show arrested - rested some time since for shooting William McMurrin while in the act of stealing corn. Tim American Tribune Colony corn- pany , which was organized aboiit.one year : i o , and has 150,000 acres of land in Irwin and Wilcox counties , Georgia , has about 600stockholders in this state , andabout twenty in the neighborhood of Nebraska City. About half of those near that place will leave for their new borne next month add the remainder in tl spring. They claim to have a "land flowing with milk and honey. " In a year erse they vill all be coining back to Nebraska. Tiir : Springfield Monitor says : W. D. Chapman finished hauling his old corn crop into the ( iretna inarhetTucs- day. There were 1,700pushels in the lot , for which he was content to take 1 cents , although there yas a time when he could have gotten 60 cents or better. Tin'beet-.raiserS are again shippi g beets to the Norfolk factory. They bave arranged for the state chemist to analyze their beets to see if the factory . people are giving them asquare deal. Ix Lincoln last week John Faycr was fotnd guilty of criminaI assault upon. . - : -his daughter , and sentenced to the pen- ftentiary for life. S. . , . e-c-t : : ITT . . . : , : v--\ : : \ , Farmer. Can Name a Chemist. . The .foUowing from the beet sugar companies explains itself : It having been brought to our notice that dissatisfaction exists among the farmers r garding the testing oftheir beets , we wish to make the following suggestions : "l'hat the farmers procure - cure a chemist , appointed by the governor - ernor , or recommended by Prof. Nicholson - son of the State univei'sity , who shall check the tests made by the factory chemist We will give such a man every facility for conducting his work properly and fairly. We would suggest that the farmers also appoint some one to select the samples from the wagons and cars , with oui own sampler ; that these beets be cut in half and be given t , ? each chemist , so as to avoid any pos- sLble error by difference of sample , and if the farmers' chemist proves to be accurate - curate and just in his work we will accept - cept his tests in case they differ from our own. In view of the doubts that have been expressed as to the accuracy with which we test the beets , we think , In justice to our company , the beet- growers should adopt this plan oT confirming - firming our results , and we further urge the necessity of speedy action in the matter , as but little time remains for harvesting the crop. Yours truly , NOnFOLK BEET SUGAT : Coi rr , OxxAIw BEET SuaAu COMI'ANY. Nebraska Sugar 1idustriec. Lincoln dispatch : Daily reports are received by the secretary of state concerning - cerning the sugar industries at Grand Island and Norfolk. The season corn- menced October 1. Up to the 15th inst. the receipt of sugar beets at the Grand island factory amounted to 4,429 tons. The amount of granulated sugar manufactured - ufactured to that date amounts to 400,000 pounds. The NorfoIk factory has received 5,017 tons of beets. It has produced 360,000 pounds of granulated sugar , making a total of sugar made by the two factories of 700,000 pounds. These two factories receive on an average , daily , , O0Q tons of beets , or 1,500 apiece. 'Ihie sugar bounty amounts to 1 a ton , in reality , to the producer , for it was with the under standing that the beetraiser was to receive - ceive $3 per ton for beets , instead of $4 , that the bounty of five-eights of 1. cent a pound was voted by the last leg- islature. Thus the two factories at Grand Island and Norfolk are distributing - tributing among the farmers who went into the beet industry about $1.500 a c3ay each. The manufacturing season lasts about three months. One-sixth of this time has now , elapsed. The same avciage hept up would give an output for the season for the two factories - tories of 4,560,00Q pounds of rnanufac tured sugar. Chicory Crop in Valley County. North Loup dispatch : j Experimental plats of chicory which were planted here last season grew with remarkable vigor during the entire season , but it was a great surprise to all who had been interested in watching the growth of the plants to learn the facts in regard - gard to what an enormous yield they were making. One plat , raised by Attorney E. J. Babcock. was divided into sections of rows one rod in lngth , fi'oin which comparative calculations could be inde , and after topping and trimming as required by the factory at O'Neill , the roots weighed atthe rate of from eight to seventeen tons to the acre. As the German Chicory company of O'Neill this year pays 10. 50 per ton for the roots , and the labor required in their harvesting nd tillage does not greatly exceed that of the sugar beet , it vil1 be readily seen that the chicory plant is one of great promise for ecu- tral Nebraska. Sugar Beet Factory Cheinist. Farmers and managers of the Grana Island and Norfolk beet sugar factories have joined in requesting Governor Ilolcomb to appoint one chemist ior each-of the factories. There has been no complaint concerning the chemical analysis conducted by the factorhs on which purchase of beets are based , but in order to protect both the buyer and seller of beets and to satisfy all parties concerned , the joint request for a chem- 1st , who shall serve in the capacity of an umpire , has been made. There is no mention of a chemical analysis in the sugarbounty bill passed by the last legislature over the gow- ernOrS veto. That act simply says no bounty shall be paid on sugar made from beets for which as much as 5 a ton shall not have been paid. This virtually fixes the price of beets at $ a ton , but the written contracts with growers state that the beets , must con- tam 12. per cent of saccharine matter. 80 per cent of which shall be pure. Beets that do not come up to this test are probably not taken at all by the factory , or are bought at a reduce urice. Bank Robber Caught. harrisburg dispatch : A bold at tempt was made to rob the Banner County bank of this town. About 4 p. rn. a masked man entered the bank and ordered Mr. Carlisle , the cashier , to throw up his hands. Mi Carlisle stepped through a side door through his residence and out of coors. and securing the robber's horse , raised the alarm. In a few minutes a dozen armed men wercon the streets and the bank was surrounded. The robber secured what money was in sight , threw it in a sack and came out. Aftei the exchange of a dozen shots or so the robber started to run. and was finally lwought down , shot through the leg. Fortunately no one was shot but the thief. It is not known whether he had any pals or not. It turned out to be a man by the name of Graham. a rancher - er living in the edge of Scotts Bluff county. His WOUnd IS not dangerous. All the money was recovered and the thief captured.

E. Prcs- ton , director of the mint , in discussing his report on the vorld' production of gold. anl silver in 1894 , makes the following statement : "I am satisfied that the gold product of the world vil1 not be less than $200,000,010 for the calendar year i89 , which will be an increase of $20,000,000 over 1804. 01 this increase the Unitedtates vil1 contribute not less than $7,500,000. Colorado will. furnish from $ ,50OOo0 to $4,000,000 , California $2)00,000 and Arizona , New Mexico , Idaho and Montana will. make handsome show- ings. In Colorado the principal increase - crease will come from the Cripple Creek district. This district alt.ogether will probably produce $15,000,00o this year. itrequired some time to eon- vince capitalists that this was a wonderfully - derfully rich district. The shipments of rich ore made in the last year have removed all doubt about the future of the Cripple Creek country. Leadvilie will also show an increase this year in the output of gold. . Some of the mines in this region are very produc- tive. In the Leadville region there are found gold , silver , copper , lead and iron. There is a general revival of gold mining throughout this region. 'California mines are sure to show an increased output from this time forwrd. The establishment of the debris commission in California has given a great impulse to hydraulic mining , which is exceedimrly profit- able. Where there is placer mining , particularly in Montana and Idaho , the poduct of gold will not be so great as it would have been bad there been heavy snows in the mountains , There is a shortage of water in those states which serves to handicap the miners. The returns from quartz mining there are very satisfactory. Soin'e heavy shipments of ore arc being made from helena. Everywhere 1 vcnt in the mining regions of the West I saw cvi- den ces of great activity and prosperity. "Not alone in the United States is the output of gold increasing. South Africa has gonenhead of Australia in the amount of its gold product , and will produce this year a vast quantity of the precious metal. Australia probably - ably vtll contribute $2,000Ot)0 ) or $3,000,000 of the increase. Russia vill produce from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 moie than it did last year. Russias output last year fell off. but the increase - crease in Siberia this year will be marked , judging from the information I have rccived from our minister at St. Petersburg. Mexico , which eon- tributeil $4,500,01)0 ) in gold last year , vill make a far better showing this year.'c gained last year for the gold stock of the world about $7,000- 000 of the gold formerly hoarded itt India , arid we have every reason to look for an increase this year and for a number of years to come. " CLOSELY WATCHED. Few Visitors Allowed to See the Taylor Brothers iii Jail. FAYETTE , Mo. , Oct. 2&-Sheriff George E. Stanley of Carroll county , who was here yesterday , said that almost - most prohibitory rules had been adopted against allowing the Taylors to see visitors since their convic- tion. This course , he explained , had been rendered necessary by the great number of applicants who desire to see the boys , some of whom are interested - ested in their salvation , others to discuss - cuss the crime with them and many simply from morbid Curiosity. During - ing a recent religious gathering in Carroilton , Mr. Stanley says lie thinks about 400 preachers asked permission to see the Taylors. Of course they had to be refused , for to let one in would have necessitated the admission of all. Dansu flu Veutre Barred. ATLANTA , Ga. , Oct. 28.-The Georgia i House of Representatives , passed a bill making it unlawful to perform the danse du ventre in the State. The movement was inaugurated by Mr. Ed Jones , a society young man who represents - resents Dougherty county , and who witnessed the dances a couple of years ago. The bill was introduced last year , when considerable sport was made of its author. but the fact that the streets of Cairo are now conducting - ing a business oii the exposition grounds so shocked the members of 1 the Legislature that their first action was to take up Ed JOnes' bill and rush I it through by an almost unanimous vote.

Ex-Scnntor Van Wyck Dead. IV.ASIIIXQTON , Oct. 25.-Ex-Uflited States Senator Charles II. Van Wyck of Nebraska died at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in his apartments at the Portland flats. lie was stricken with apoplexy Mom- day afternoon and his condition since has been very critical. Ho showed slight improvement Wednesday morning - ing , but at night grew steadily worse and since then his death had been momentarily - mentarily expected. At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Van Wyck , a daughter , Miss Happy , and his wif&s brother , Mr. Nark Brodhead. The attack to which the ex-senator from Nebraska succumbed was a very sudden one. He was in apparently good health up to Monday noon. lie was staying with his family at the Hotel - tel Portland. 1)uring the forenoon he had been dou town with his brother- in-law , General Brodhead , and was tip- arently in time very best of health and spirits. On his return to time hotel , shortly after 12 oclock , he chatted with his vife , and showed no signs of illness , but five minutes after he had entered time dining room he succumbed. It so happened that a doctor was in the hotel - tel at time time and lie was promptly ummoncd. After a brief exarnmnation he declared that Mr. Van \Vyck had been stricken with paralysis. and advised - . vised that the family physician , Dr. W. .v. Johnson , be called. Later in the day the doctors mmmdc a careful examination - ination of the patient , amid found that the senators left side was affected. lie hardly regained consciousness from that time until death ensued. 'rime remains , accompanied by tine members of the family here , vhll be taken to morrow to Milford , Pa.wherc they will be interred in the family burying grounds Saturday aftenoon. Funeral services will be held in the I'resbyterian church at Milford at 4 o'clock and will be conductrd by Rev. Dr. Nichols. There will be no services here. MIS m.nrx rarr. Charles } Ienry Van Wyck was born. at Poughkeepsie , N. Y. , on May 10 , :1S21 : , in which town his boyhood ( lays were spent. When scarcely 21 years of ILge lie graduated from iiutgers college. the best student of his class , after which he studied law and again he graduated with the highmeat honors. Removing to Sullivan county , New York. be opened a law office and a few months later was elected district attorney - torney of that county. lie wus then a democrat. 'lime anti- renters had cor.trol amid usually voted with the wliits and carried time county. General Van \Vyck at his home in Mamalcating township received manly whig votes , which secured his election. his first term was so satisfactory that he was re-elected , the anti-renters voting for him. He received a majority in every towirhip in tine county. Always opposed to slavery , he was with the free soil element of time demo- eratic party and was among the first to take part in organizing time republican. party. lie was active in its conventions - tions , was foremost in framing time piat- form , and , in fact. was present at the birth of that great organization. lie was an enthusiastic worker in the Fremont - mont campaign , .speaking in nearly every school district in Orange and Sullivan counties. SENT TO TILE SENATE. When the carnpainrn from Nebrasi for time election of United States senator - tor opened in 1S81 there were a numn- her of candidates for the position then held by A. S. l'addock. After aspirin.- ed contest Van Wvck was chosen and served out his six years. LAST YEAES OF illS I.WE. In 1800 General \Taml Wyck was nem mated for congress by the popuhists of the First district , lmt declined to ac- cept. although at that time he had become - come an active member of the peonl&s party. lie , however , took an active part in the campaign , and was on tine 1 stump almost constantly from that time until the close of the campaignof 1S02. in that year he was a candidate i for goveraor on thepopulist. ticket , and with Hon. Lorenzo Crounse made a joint canvass of the state , one of the most memorable politic struggles of Nebraska's history. in time winter of 1E03 he was stricken with paralysis while on his way from his marmn to Xe- braska City. For many days his life tvas despaired of. but he recovered. and last summer showed little effect of the i stroke , save in his gait. On Memorial ) lay he delivered his last public ad- iress. Since he recovered sulllciently i to be about lie resided almost contin- Liously in WashIngton. although he vis- ted Nebraska several times. His in- Lerest in public affairs , however , never ragged , and lie kept a constant watch ) n the progress of the people , both ; tate and national. in his private life Charles ii. Van VVyck was a most admirable character. inmpie. kindly and unaffected. Nothing ould be more perfect than his home eiations. His family consisted of him- ; elf , a wife and one daughter. VolI ames could be written of his intercourse tvith his neighbors ; of barrels and bas. ets of provisions sent to aid the needy ; C ) f acts of kindness and deeds of mercy Imat marked his daily walk among mcmi.
