Remember the beet sugar industry
has principally to do with the western
farmer who is justly entitled to his
share in the bountrys protective tariff
policy
President Roosevelt wont have a
banged tail horse no matter what
the other qualifications are He is op
posed to the English you know custom
of docking Teddys common sense
is breaking out in unexpected quarters
Senator Dietrich in a recent speech
at the annual banquet of the board of
governors of lined himself
up to devote his best efforts in the senate
for the encouragement of the beet sugar
industry irrigation and the reclamation
of the arid regions of the west
It must be evident to all observers
that the sugar trust is after the beet
sugar industry and that if the people
and legislation do not come to the rescue
one of the most promising industries of
west will be threatened with extermina
tion Let no friend of the west be misled
in this matter The beet sugar industry
comes to the west with bright and endur
ing prospects of permanent profit to the
farmer and every proper and righteous
effort should be put forth to stay the
crushing hand of the sugar trust in its
efforts tosqueeze out the beet sugar in
dustry which the people of the west
should protect and foster most loyally
Hogans Alley
In its ninth successful season during
which the farce has proved to be with
out a rival as a fun maker Hogans
Alley comes to the opera house on the
16th of November with a host of new
specialties and attractions As there is
never anything of a plot to speak of in
this class of shows it is safe to say that
the theme is entirely new and that any
one who has witnessed it in previous
seasons may go again without weariness
Three hours of continuous laugh is what
Hogans Alley affords It is nonsensi
cal in the extreme is not built for fine
criticism and has nothing to do with
anything in particular
There are a chorus of pretty girls
with song and dances until you cant
rest As of yore the Yellow Kids won
the piece and are always in the way
under your feet between your legs or
in any other awkward and unexpected
position when least wanted These
parts are assumed this season b y
Ellsworth and Russell justly esteemed
two of the cleverest as well as littlest
men on the American beards The chief
part is of course given over to Carduff
whose abilities as a fun maker were long
since established Such accessories as a
piece of this kind require are bright and
new and everything is said to be up to
date Prices 35c and 50c Secure seats

Talk of New Train
It is rumored that the management of
the Burlington is considering a proposi
tion to continue No 13 the fast mail
train that now arrives from Chicago at
11 oclock in the night west of Lincoln
to Denver General Passenger Agent
Francis is- quoted as saying that he
knows nothing about the matter but
that it is purely a general managers
proposition and would not come to him
No 13 leaves Chicago a little after 8 a
m and arrives here in time to catch No
41 with the northwest mail If the train
was continued to Denver it would put
the Colorado mail in that city in the
early morning thus greatly benefitting
the territory served by morning trains
from Denver as well as Denver itself
It is not believed that should this be
done the time of No 1 would be changed
or the train taken from service The
westbound business of the Burlington
has been heavy and with the addition
of the mail that would be routed this
way with a through train on the card
ftthere would be almost enough business
to justify running both At least that
is the way it looks at present Journal

AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY
A Serltn of Order That Rejuvenated
the Alllne Slaves
A correspondent sends the following
story of an old Virginia gentleman
Some years before the war a gentle
man of large lauded Interests counted
among his possessions a plantation on
the Tames river an estate of consider
able dimensions Other interests kept
him away from the old place for some
years during which time there was a
marked decrease In the revenue Upon
his return to the plantation he discov
ered that many of the slaves were laid
up with rheumatism and other miser
ies the farming Implements -were In
bad order and the old homestead was
fast goinff to rack and ruin Calling
his overseer he said
Anderson I notice a great many old
wagons plows and harrows about
the place Have them brought and
piled in front of the house and on
Monday next order all the niggers on
the place to be present
At the appointed time they came
The pile was set on fire and the Imple
ments destroyed The following week
he called the overseers attention to the
sick and Infirm horses hogs and cattle
and gave the same order When the
negroes had assembled all the animals
were knocked In the head The Fri
day following the landlord again called
his overseer
Anderson I see a great many sick
niggers around here many who seem
to be laid up with rheumatism and are
good for nothing Give orders that on
Monday morning at 10 oclock they all
appear in the front yard
The effect on the slaves was magical
On Saturday men who had been un
able to walk were skipping around like
children the sick grew well suddenly
and from that time on the plantation
was most prosperous Exchange
FOOD OF AMERICANS
An English Woman Tells of the
Strange Tilings She Ate Here
An English woman who visited Amer
ica a short time ago has been telling
her country women about the strange
food across the water Of course she
discovered green corn but she had been
prepared for that Oyster crabs were
quite new to her h
They look like Boston baked beans
she explains but they taste much bet
ter
An oyster cocktail filled her with awe
and enthusiasm She tried it at Del-
monicos and thought it was soup Of
course in England one didnt serve
soup in a glass but then neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in a
glass One could never be sure of
Americans
Of canvashack duck she has a poor
opinion but thinks she might like it
better if Americans would have it cook
ed or even warmed As for terrapin
she sings its praise She found it much
like calf s head and she always liked
calfs head Shades of Maryland gour
mets what a slur is there
All the puddings in America are pie
or ice cream she says but it must be
understood that pie does not mean
game pie The Yankee pie is a tart
and is ubiquitous she explains
She sat next to an American man
who ate a lump of- cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned a plateful of
ice cream over both but she doesnt
know that that is a general custom
The oysters were good but had most
impossible names and the cockles
meaning clams are excellent On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good but there is too much of the food
on the table at one time New York

Portrait of Cocker
Edward Cocker who lived in the
reign of Charles II is chiefly known
to the present generation by the say
ing in common use According to
Cocker which means in accordance
with arithmetical rules I saw the oth
er day amid the treasures of a private
collector a copy of the first edition of
Cockers immortal work on arithmetic
published by T Passenger at the
Three Bibles on London bridge Only
two or at most three perfect copies
are known to the book collector One
is- In the British museum This par
ticular copy its brown morocco piti
fully faded bears on its title page the
inscription Cockers Aritlimetick
Perused and Published by John Haw
kins by the Authors Correct Copy
It contains what purports to be a
portrait of ingenious Cocker Ex
perts however shake their heads over
the authenticity of this work of art
There are many engraved portraits of
the epoch but there was only one
Cocker The British museum copy has
no portrait and there is too much rea
son to fear that this embellishment
was added by some ingenious owner
of an earlier century Cocker died in
1G75 This rare relic of the past bears
date 1678 Scotsman
Georges Father
Augustine Washington the father of
George Washington was engaged in
1732 in making pig Iron at Accokeek
furnace in Stafford county Va about
fifteen miles from Fredericksburg
when his famous son was born This
furnace had been built by the Princi
pio company composed of English cap
italists as early as 1726 on land owned
by Augustine Washington aggregating
about 1600 acres and containing iron
ore Mr Washington becoming the
owner of one sixth of the furnace prop
erty in consideration of the transfer of
Jiis land to the company
In my opinion the man who kills his
fellow is the hero of barbarism the
man who risks his own life to save
the lives of others is the only hero that
a true civilization can honor Andrew
