Sugar Beot.Growers Complain.
A correspondent writing from Fremont -
mont complains of th e growers' wrongs ,
thus : The sugar factory representatives -
tives throughout the entire state visited -
ed every hamlet portraying the beau-
tics and profit of raising sugar beets.
They were very successful in this particular -
ticular line , for hundreds at their earnest -
est solicitation invested every dollar
they had , and neb 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 arc confronted daily with a reply ,
"We will notify you when to ship , as
they do not come up to the requirements -
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 unfortunates -
nates in the face and not an available
dollar to meet its exigencies. It is no
uncommon sight to see tears trickle
down the cheeks of the brawny sons of
toil. And well may them weep , for it
is a well known fact that if every man
should receive an order to ship at once
they could not harvest this immense
crop of beets before frost would interfere -
fere ; hence the eagerness for the
longed for word , "Ship. "
Eloping Girls Return.
A Waverly dispatch says : Miss Ward ,
one of the young women who eloped
from here last week , has returned and
gives lull 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 conductor -
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 buck Dr.
McCandless had Miss Miller return the
watch that lie 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-
eats here yesterday afternoon by letter
and then by telephone that she would
return home at once if received without -
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. li. Miller received a message -
sage iroin the manager of the St.
Joseph Herald , asking if hiss 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 Producers.
The Oxnard beet sugar company a.
Grand Island has offered to take those
beets which do not come up to the
standard in purity and saccharine contents -
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 requirement -
quirement of our contract , for which
we pay 45 , 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 carefully -
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
cent sugar and 70 per centpurity. The
season is advanced and when you harvest -
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 requirements -
ments , and which therefore are fed to
stock , this offer , if the prices to be
named later are reasonable , will no m
doubt be accepted with satisfaction to
the producers , especially since in Hall
county there is an abundance of other
food fet wintering stock.
Ida Gaskili's Murderer.
Blair dispatch : Morgan , who is accused -
cused of a criminal assault upon and
murder of Ida Gasltill , 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 sister -
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-
itentiary.
Dorsey Must Pay.
Judge Shiras today , says a Lincoln
dispatch , rendered his decision in the '
case wherein Albert Watkins , as receiver -
ceiver for the Ponca National hank ,
sought to have a transfer of stock by
G. W. E. Dorsey to Prank Dorsey set
aside. The receiver alleged that Frank
Dorsey was insolvent and the transfer
, just before the fpilure of the bank waste
to protect G W. E. Dorsey from liability -
ity to assessment. The court set aside
the transfer , and the judgment recites
that ( : W. E , Dorsey must pay theas- i
sessments , which amount to 100 per
cent. I

Results f- the Elections.
Elections t # held on the 5th in
twelve states one territory in the
United States : he territory is Utah ,
and the states dre Nebraska , Kansas ,
Iowa , Kentucky , Massachusetts , Maryland -
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 various -
ous points are as follows :
NEBliASKA.
OtiIAIIA , Nov. 7.-Latest and almost
complete returns from the city and
county sustain , with few exceptions ,
the estimate of the result of the election -
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 republican -
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 republican -
publican candidate was elected.
The returns on thestate judicial their-
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 11 Liner of the republican
state central committee , while admitting -
ting that upon the surface of the situation -
tion the contest is a close one , refuses
to admit for a mofnent that Judge Nor-
viii 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 Duthie , while the republicans elect
Baker , Dickinson , Powell Scott and
Slabaugh. It is possible that the missing -
ing precinct in the Eighth ward of
Omaha may elect Ferguson instead of
Duthie , but Fawcett of the republican
ticket is out of the race by 500 votes.
0M.4IrA , Now. Nov. S.-Official returns
from Nebraska are being made up very
slowly , but as far as received-they indicate -
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 following -
ing as the list of district judgs elected :
First District-Stull and Latton , reps.
Second District-Ramsey , dem.
't'hird listrict-Hall and Holmes ,
present incumbents , and Cornish , all
reps.
Fourth District-Keysor and Scott ,
present incumbents , and Baker , Dickinson -
inson , Fawcett , Powell and Slabaugh ,
all reps.
Fifth District-Bates , present incumbent -
bent , pop , and Sedgwiclc , rep.
Sixth District-Marshall , rep , and
Sullivan , dent , present incumbent
Seventh District-Hastings , present
incumbent , dem.
Eighth District-Evans , rep.
Ninth District-Robinson , presen t incumbent -
cumbent , pop.
Tenth District-Beall , present incumbent -
bent , pop.
Eleventh District-Kendall , rep. , and
Thompson , dein. , present incumbent
Twelfth District-Greene. pop.
Thirteenth District-Grimes , rep.
Fourteenth District-Norris , rep.
Fifteenth District - Kinkaid , rep. ,
present incumbent , and Westover , pop.
This snakes a netgain' to the republicans -
licans of four judges , losing three and
gaining seven.
MASS ACIIUSETT. .
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 estimated -
mated at over 75,000.
rENNsYLVANIA.
PmLADELI'IILt , Nov. 5.-Returns received -
ceived up to midnight indicate that
Benjamin.1. Iiayward , republican , has
been elected state treasurer by about' '
150,000 plurality , a republican gain
over 1893 , which was also an off year , I
of about 15,000. This state also elects
seven judges of the new superior court.
Of these the six republicans nominated I
are elected. The seventh man on the
ticket is in doubt.
1 ANSAS.
KANSAS CITY , Nov. 7.-Kansas returns -
turns today show that the republicans
made practically a clean sweep of the ,
state. carrying a majority of the counties -
ties entire , and electing many of the
officers of the others. C. K. hlolliday ,
independent candidate for chief justice ,
admits David Martin , his republican i
opponent , will have 40,000 majority.
low A. '
DES .llolx. . . C , 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.
I
The entire state has cast a light vote
but the republicans show a net gain
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.
'she legislature will be - overwhelmingly -
ingly republican , the best estimate be- i
ing sixty-seven republican members of
the house to thirty-three democrats ,
and thirty-five republican senators to
fifteen democrats.
WASIIINGrON , Nov. 7.-Asa result of
the latest election returns the republicans -
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 , lfaryland and Ohio. None
of these changes become effective , however - r
ever , until Marcfi 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 : Republicans -
licans , forty-four ; democrats , thirty-
nine ; populists , six ; vacant ( Delaware ) ,
one ; total , eighty-eight. If the Delaware -
ware vacancy is filled by a republican
it will give a republican majority.
I
- NEW TORS.
NEW YoRS , Nov. 7.-The total unofi
vial vote for secretary of state is : King ,
democrat , 505,500 ; Palmer , republican ,
573,535 This makes Palmer's plurality
60,535. The vote in 1803 was : Palmer ,
545,098 ; Myer , 120,614 ; Palmer's plurality -
ity , 24,484.
01110.
COLUMBUS , Nov. 7.-Chairman Ander
son cnncedes the state to the republicans -
cans by 00,000. Chairman hurts says
Bushnel's plurality will not be less
than 100,000. The vote for Coxey , populist -
ulist , will be about 15,000 less than last
year. At present the senate will stand :
Republicans , thirty ; democrats , six ;
fusion populist , one. In the house the
republicans have eighty-seven and the
democrats twenty-five.
MAIYLAND.
BALTI33IORE. Now. 7.-Returns fron.
every county in the state , partly estimated -
mated , give Lloyd' Lowndes , republican -
can , a majority over E. Hurst democrat -
crat , for governor of 19,715. Not only
have the republicans elected their entire -
tire state and city ticket , but they have
carried the legislature , which , according -
ing to figures at hand now , will stand ,
in the house , sixty-eight republicans to
twenty-four democrats , and in the senate -
ate fifteen democrats to eleven repub-
licans.
IIIINOIS.
SI'RINOFIELD , Ill. , Nov. 7.-It is the.
belief of Governor Altgeld that the
greater republican landslide of yesterday -
day was brought about chiefly through
the treachery of the national administration -
tration and the goldbug wing of the
democracy in Wall street. Democratic
conventions in many states , he says ,
were packed by postmasters and menials -
als of the administration who forced
the administration or Cleveland's policy
on the money question. The state has
gone largely republican.
NEW JERSEY :
NEwAltlr , Nov. 7.-The election of
Griggs was known to be a certainty itt
10 o'clock last night , but at that hour
12,000 and 14,000 were all that the leaders -
ers of the republican party claimed.
Later they advanced their claims under
the influence of the press returns to
22,000. The results in the counties as
filed show that Griggs received 26,960
plurality over NcGi11. The republicans -
cans from one end of the state to the
other were celebrating today and boasting -
ing that this time next year will find
New Jersey safely in the republican
ranks.
KENTUCxY.
W.tsiIINGTOs , Nov. 7.-The hopcles :
condition presented by the Kentucky
democracy is regarded as a rebuke to
the free Silver democrats , and the president -
ident and Secretary Carlisle have confidently -
fidently expected the defeat of Hardin
and Blackburn , or their election by majorities -
jorities so meager as to amount practically -
cally to defeat.
UTAH.
SVLT LAKE , Nov. 7'-The republicans
'
have elected the state ticket and car.
reed the legislature by a safe majority.
Republicans elect twenty-nine representatives -
sentatives , democrats seven , with nine
still in doubt. Three judges of the supreme -
preme court are elected.
REI'UBLiC.&NS M AEE GAINS IX COLORADO.
1)INVER , Nov. 7.-Party lines were
not closely drawn in the Coloradocoun-
ty elections , but the republicans claim ,
to have made gains outsde of Denver.
In this ( Arapahoe ) county the election
was very close , and the result being
still in doubt as to some of the offices.
Two candidates on the taxpayers' ticket -
et ( General Frank hail for treasurer ,
and Willard L. Ames for assessor ) ap I
pear on the returns so far received as
having been certainly elected. The republicans -
publicans probably hold all the other
officers. The result is regarded as a
defeat of the tramway company and
the Denver Union Water company ,
which fought Ames bitterly on account
of his efforts as an alderman to secure'
a reduction of water rates.
INGERSOLL ON POLITICS.
CrltIcises Cleveland and Predicts Repub-
Iican Success in 1390.
PITTBrRG , Pa. , Nov. 8.-Discussing
the result of the elections , Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll said :
"Cleveland's administration is a ,
failure , a succession of blunders , T'he
Democrats are dissatisfied with Cleve-
land. lie is obstinate , unsocial , egotistic -
tistic , asks no advice and till es none.
He is utterly indifferent as to the advice -
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 little -
tle liberty , and were not willing to go
back to the ( lays of Cotton .
Ohio settled L'ric2 ; that is good. Maryland -
land murdered Gorman : that is good.
Kentucky went Republican. I know
of no expression that will suit that ;
It is too rood. All this shows what ms
to happen in 1SiG.
' 1 think the issuesof the next presidential -
dential contest will be just the same as
they are this year. Both parties willI
be for good money , and consequently
the tariff will take the lead. Of course , m
the Democratic party will make several -
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 ptrant to raise the money for
the most part at the custom house. It
may be that the Democrats vmhl advocate -
cate State banks. If they do , that
will be enough to kill their party. We
want no more State bank money in '
this country. We want our pacer to
be as good as gold-equal always to
the best money h the world. Ilarri-
son is not in the presidential lace
Allison is somewhat dangerous , but I
imagine it will be between Reed and I
McKinley. Whoever is nomiuatcJ twill
be elected. " 1

T EELECTION.
A REORGANIZATION OF THE
SENATE.
The Upper Branch of Congress will be
Itepubllcan-The Two Senators From
Utah Will Take Their Seats as Soon as
Chosen , and Give Control of the Senate
to Republicans-Bradley's Plurality In
Kentucky.
Election Aftermath.
WASIIINGTON , i\ov. 8.-As a result of
the elections Tuesdays the Republicans
will gain five United States Senators-
two from Utah and one each from
Kentucky , Ohio and Maryland , and the
Democrats will lose three senators-
one each from ICeutucky , Maryland
and Ohio. None of these changes will
become effective , however , until
March 4 , 1807 , except in the case of
the two Utah Senators , who will take
their seats as soon as chosen. Thereafter -
after , the numerical strength in the
Senate will be as follows : Republicans ,
4.1 ; Democrats , 39 ; Populists 6 ; vacant
( Delaware ) , 1. Total , 88. If the
Delaware vacancy is filled by a Republican -
lican it will give a Republican ina-
jarity in the upper branch of Congress.
The direct effect of these Republican -
lican victories upon the senate will be
to make it absolutely certain that the
Republicans tivill not enter into any
combination with the Populists , directly -
rectly or indirectly , to secure the organization -
ganization of the senate at the approaching -
preaching session. ' 'hey have simply
to wait a few months and then take
control with sufficient votes of their
own panty member , . In the meantime -
time , with a Democratic executive in
time White house nothing could be ac-
cotnplished in the way of legislation ,
even if the Republicans secure the
organization of the senate , and they
are not looking now for empty honors.
It is interesting to note that before
March 4 , ISO ? , the successors to outer
Democratic Senators may be chosen.
A Republican may come from New
York in place of Davit B. hill ; from
Illinois in place of John M. Palmer ,
and from Wisconsin in place of Will-
hamll U. Vilas. If Indiana and Missouri
should go Republican nest year Mr.
Voorhees and Mr. Vest would step
aside , and their places tivould be filled
by Senators representing the Republican -
can party.
BOOM FOR BRADLEY. .
T e Republican Governor-Elect of Iccn-
tucky For Vlee-President.
Louisvll.I.E , Ky. , Nov. 3.-Repubii-
can claims and Democratic concesJons
show that riot only has Kentucky
elected the full Republican State
ticket but that the complexion of the
Legislature assures a , Republican sue-
cessor to United States Senator Black-
burn.
State Auditor Norman , the Democratic -
cratic campaign chairman , in a statement -
ment to the Commercial said that
Blackburn s defeat is assured.
"The Republicans , with the help of
the Popn fists , will assuredly control
time legisla ure , " he said , "amid Blackburn -
burn Is sure to be defeated. Kentucky
is now a Republican state. The people -
ple wanted a change and they took it ,
time Republicans being aided by both
Populists and A. P. A. s. No one
could have carried Kentucky at this
election , not even Carlisle. "
Colonel Bradley will be time choice
of his state for the vice presidency ,
and his friends claim that he will
have the support of time Southern Re-
publicans. It is a significant fact the
friends of Governor Morton , as well
as the political champions of Governor
McKinley , have all been in constant
correspondence with the friends of
Colonel Bradley , and have urged him
to 1)11Sh his claims for second place on
time ticket. Colonel Bradley has therefore -
fore refused to discuss the matter , but
it is announced by Mr. Walter For-
rester , secretary of Colonei Bradley's
Campaign committee , and managing
editor of the Commercial. the Republican -
lican organ of the state , that Colonel
Bradley's claims for national recognition -
nition will be urged in the next national -
tional contention.

INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Nov. 8.-Genera al

sion regarding Tuesday's election said :
"Oh , I have nothing to say , except
that I heartily rejoiced at the victory
of Tuesday. I am giad as any one
can be that the principles of the
Republican party should meet so
strong and wide an indorsement
from the people. The States of New
Jersey , Maryland and Kentucky arc
new stars in our crown , but they are
none the less welcome. I am glad
that the Republicans of these states ,
who have so long fought the battle in
vain , have now reaped a reward for
their devotion to Republican prin-
ciples. "
' 'And what effect trill the election
hare in 1890 ? "
"Oh , I ( lo not care to talk about
1S96. Every one knows as well as I
do what the result of yesterday pre-
sages. "

When the explosion ocenrred the
building collapsed and the floors fell re II
to the basement , carrying with them -
at least fifty persons who had not the r
shalmtestwarning of their -danger. The : i
cloud of dust that arose was quickly
succeeded by smoke from the fires ;

which started in ,
Carelessness is undoubtedly the . , f I
cause of the disaster , but where the l i
responsibility rests is as yet prob- "
lematical. 'Thomas Thomason , the
engineer was painfully injured , He f .
scut hte could assign no reason for the , i '
explosion. City Boiler Inspector Mc- I
Gregor says he inspected the boilers \
last August and had found them up to I j
the requirements. Some of the employ - , z
ploy es in file building assert that the
boilers were old and known to be .
j
unsafe. '
After the fire had been checked , the , t
work of rescue was begun. Annie L. i
O'Dono'hue was time first found and ,
was taken to a . .Then two
more persons were rescued. Then t i
near the top was seen the arm and leg 1 ,
of a man. These moved , showing
that he was not dead. When , however -
ever , he was rescued he was uncon-
scions. . ' , ' , 1
The fire broke out again and when '
it was checked five bodies were found ' = r'
tinder the rear walk. All were dead : t
and horribly disfigured. Another body w 9t 1
was found at 12,31) It was that of : s r' . ;
young man in blouse anti overalls , ;
and it 1y ' un(1C ? all the debris on the a , }
sidewalk , the Lead toward the building'
and the feet near the curbstone. A ' '
I
eat block of stone had fallen on his
head , crushing it flat. The top of the
head hta(1 burst open and the brains
were scattered all about. The seventh
body , apparently that of a isachinist ,
was taken from the front of the build-
t
lugs soon after I o'clock , and then the c I
tvorhm ti were driven back , while a i
rope was thrown over an overhanging I
wall and was P ullcI down by a gang- ' . f '

Mr. Cleveland Smiley Qolctly. f i
WASIIINGTON Nov. 8 - President '
Cleveland is charging none of the rte I
suits of the election to his administra- , , ,
tion. On the contrary , he is taking a
quiet simile over certain features of
the returns. Senator Gorman declares I
that President Cleveland's personal
, i3
followers contributed to the success of
Lowndes. The administration Demo-
cmats appear to be willing to : t surge /
the responsibility- another achievement -
ment for reform. Thera seems to be
no doubt that they expected and dc- '
sired time defeat of Gorman s ticket. '
The president and every member of i t ,
his cabinet took a deep interest in the '
cause of Campbell in Ohio and expressed -
pressed regret at his defeat. The '
helpless condition presented by the
Kentucky Democracy is regarded as a t
rebuke to time free silver Democrats (
