seed for ; 0 cents a pound , to be taken
from the first shipment or be paid in
cash. It will pay 10.50 a ton for the
roots delivered on the cars at O'Neill.
The contract also contains a provision
similar to that in the contracts of the
Norfolk Sugar Beet company , that if ,
the state bounty is not paid then the
farmer is to receive $9 per ton at the'
factory instead of $10. The roots are
not required to meet any test as to
quality , but aret paid for } vholl3 by t
weight. ' 'hey are to be free from , ? arth ,
and well topped. A few acres were
raised in this vicinity last season with
satisfactory results , although the cost
of digging them was larger than was
anticipated. The roots were so long
that no machine would.work satisfactorily -
torily and they had to be spaded up by
hand.
Working Nebraska Gold Fields.
Crete dispatch : The gold prospectors -
ors here arc by no means idle. There
was general uissatisfaction with the result -
sult of the last washing of sand off the
Norris farm. Last week a syndicate of
five prominent business men was formed -
ed for the purpose of thoroughly testing
the sand from the Norris farm. The '
sluice boxes were improved by inserting
copper platen in each box covered by
liticltisilver. Quicksilver ryas also placeu
t'ndemt all rifiles in time boxes. Five
loads. carefully measured and weighed ,
were hauled to the sluices. These five
loads contained exactly five tons of
sand. 'lure washing was done very
slowly and the results of the clean-up
are axiously awaited. From all indications -
cations the result will far exceed that
of the last experiment Should it be
satisfactory actual work to sluice the
entire deposit of sand will at once be
commenced. The result of the cleanup -
up is now in possession of Prof. ilos-
ford of Doane college to be retorted.
11'hen that is clone the actual amount
of gold in the five tons will be known.

ber :11 : , 159i. The total farm , town and
city and chattel mortgages filed for
that year show a decrease of 9IS3-
9i x.04 from that of the year 1591. To

pending decrease in the total amount
of satisfactions , the satisfaction of
farm , town and city chattel mortgages
for IS95 being $9,259,5742 less than
for the same period in 189.4. The total
decrease of farm mortgages is $4,118-
02'.75 ; total decrease of chattel inor t-
gages. 3i7,28.62. In town and city
mortgages for 1893 there is a decrease
of nearly : ' . ' ,000,000 , and a corresponding -
ing decrease in the amount of satisfac-
tions. The number of sheriffs' deeds
and other deeds in foreclosure are

PLANT Crrv , Fla. , March J.-In a
desperate battle with regulatorsBotw-
en Sykes fatally shot four men and
wounded six others seriously.
Sykes lives in Hillsboro county and
had incurred the enmity of his neigh-
bors. Within the last ten days he had
received notices to leave. Wednesday
morning Sykes found a rudely drawn
coffin on his front door , and underneath -
neath a statement that , unless he left
immediately , he would be killed.
Sykes prepared to defend himself
against the expected attack , which
came Thursday morning about 1
o'clock.
At that hour a mob of fifteen masked
men broke down the door and entered
the house. Sykes was ready , and as
the regulators entered , lie opened fire
with a Winchester rifle. Soon four of
the regulators were down and the
others fled. Sykes continued to fire
at the fugitives as long us they were
in ranee an(1 is confident six others
were wounded. Sykes then tore the
masks from the four men who had
fallen , and found that they were Johti
and Alonzo Ihnrnes , John Gilliland
and Dennis Driggers. The Barnes
brothers were shot through the head
and cannot live. Gilliland and Drig-
gers were shot in the chest and their
wounds are fatal.
Sykes came here , reported the tragedy -
edy and swore out warrants. Officers
who went out to make the arrests
found the four men named dying , and
reported that six others are too badly
wounded to be moved. Sykes says lie
has done nothing to be "regulated"
for , and proposes to remain in the
neighborhood if lie has to kill every
man in it.

NO CUBAN RECOGNITION.
President Cleveland unit Cabinet Strongly
Opposed to It.
w. siiixGTox , Marchl 5.-Tile President -
dent and his Cabinet are undoubtedly
opposed to the present recognition of
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents
and to any declaration concerning
their independence as embodied in recent -
cent Congressional resolutions. The
following is not an official statement ,
but it is known from careful inquiry
that it accurately represents the ad-
ministration's views in time matter.
11'hmle the President and members of
the Cabinet personally feel the sympathy -
pathy common to all Americans with
those Cubans who are contending for
self-government , they feel that in
their official action they should not depart -
part from the well-settled principles
svhmicit were followcd.by former ! 'resi-
dents and Secretaries of State during
prior insurrections in Cuba. These
were clearly set forth by General
Grant in his message of 1S5 , in which
he dealt with the question of time recognition -
ognition of Cuban independence and
also with that of the recognition of
belligerency.
Both independence and belligerency
arc facts , ; .nd their recognition by
other powers , as the term implies , ms
merely formal acknowledgment of a
state of things which , rightly or
wrongly , has come about.
When a people , united raider some
known and defined form of govern-
.ntent , which administers its functions
by time usual methods , come to occupy
and control a known territory over
which it is competent to administer
justice and within whichm it affords
protection to citizens and strangers , a
new state exists. Refusal of recognition -
tion would nut , change the fact , any
more than premature "recognition' '
could create it. The former would be
merely a slight to the new government -
ment , just as the latter is merely aft
affront to the old one , The question
necessarily is always what govern-
meat is actually in control of time
country.
Recognition of belligerency depends
upon the same facts , and is only a
mnodified form of recognizing inde-
pendence. thought the latter implies
micro perfect accomplish meats.
'fhe pretension of recognizing what
does not exist "is always , and justly ,
regarded as an unfrienuly act , and a
gratuitous demonstration of moral
support to the rebellion.
It is understood that , judged by
these tests , the administration does
not think the present state of affairs
-in Cuba justifies any change in the attitude -
titude of the Government. Its function -
tion is to act and not to express feel-
ing.

From the Press , New York City. t
Worn with the exposure of army life
nn the frontier , and poisoned by the
continual drinking of alkali water ,
Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadel-
phut eight years ago , broken down In
health and unable to ( lo any work. )
He had served five years with the
Ninth United States Infantry In many r
a desperate light with the Indians Iu
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an enviable record. In the
tierce conflict when Geronimo , the
famous chief of the Apaches , was captured -
tured , Mr. Ihugauff was among the
brave soldiers Who , forgetful of everything -
thing but duty , charged upon the ] nos- ;
the Indians.
Life on the plains sent to an untimely
( loath many soldiers who were never
touched by a redskin's bullet or arrow ,
amd Mr. Ftegauf came near such a fate
as that. A long time before his time ,
uas''out he was taken seriously ill , but ,
he stuck to Iris post until an honorable
discharge was finally given to him.
"tVhen he reached Philadelphia , the
Indian tighter was scarcely more than
skin told bones , and for three weeks he
lay desperately ill in a hospital. Ile felt
dizzy , and his stomach felt as if it had
dried up. These symptoms were accompanied -
panied by bloody dysentery , which no
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering , Mr.
Flegauf came to New York and was
treated , by several physicians. These
did not agree. some calling his dis ( a'e
catarrh of the stomach , and others
chronic diarrhoea. ,
In speaking to a reporter about his
illness Mr. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him , but , with all the money he
spent for advice and medicine , 1i ryas
able to work omlr a sm.tll part of the
I
thne. Since moving to his prest-nt theme
home , No. SIT \Vest Forty-second strt ,
In New York , about a year ago , dlr.
Ftegauf has been so ill that his voice
am(1 hearing almost left him.
' 1'lmen all medicines flailed , arid the 1
sick man had little hope of recovery.
At this critical time Dr. Williams' Pink '
Pills for Pale People were recommended
to Mr. Flegauf , and , almost as a last
hope , he began taking them.
"The beuefineial effect of the me + lkimm'
was felt at once , " Mt : ) 'legauf toed the
rorter } , "nod before i had taken : L'l)4)x
I began to eat with relish. Three boxes
made me so much better that I begati
work and haVt' been able to keen at it
since , for five months. "
Dr. 1.Villiams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give Rely life /
and richness to the blooT and restnrt' {
