FIGHTING BEET SUGAR
Sugar
Trust is Envious of Success of
Beet Sugar Producers
During lii recent visit to Denvor
Col Henry Q Oxnard president of tho
American Beet Sugar company was In
terviewed by tho Duuvor Republican
and made tho following statement of in
terest to tho people tributary to tho boot
sugar factories Wo nro in the midst
of the hardest kind of fight Tho boot
sugar interests havo incurrod tho on-
nilty of tho suimr syndicate which ia
making every effort to ruin our busi
ness Tho syudlcato bended by Olaus
Sprockles has almost unlimited capital
and sues that if wo coutiuuo to succeod
as wo havo boon doing in tho past wo
will foroo it out of business
Wo have undor way 28 fnotorios for
tho production of boot sugar and expect
to build at least 10 moro this year This
has arousod tho syudicato to action Its
last movo was to glvo orders to its
brokers west of tho Missouri rivor not to
soil any savo syudlcato mado sugar and
rocontly thoy attomptod to pursuado tho
grocers of Donvor to promise to nmko 75
per cout of thoir wholo salos lu tho pro
duct of tho trust Tho Donvor grocers
howovor woro loyal to homo products
and were not willing to accept the synd
icates condition 1 think none of them
has made any ngreomont with tho synd
icate to sell any stated amount of its
goods so as to Injure our Interests
Hecoutly tho syndicate reduced the
price of its product hero ono fourth of
a contn pound and increased it iu tho
cast where thoro are no beet sugar fac
tories This of course forces us to cut
prices and takes so much from our profit
My company has recently bought S0000
acres of land iu tho Arkansas valley
and oxpeots to oreot a factory there
Tho syudicato handles crude sugar
bringing it from Hawaii Java India
aud tho West Indies and rofiiios it and
Bolls It as American sugar So it will
attempt nt tho uoxt session of congress
to havo tho duty on crude sugar lowored
and perhaps abolished Should It suc
ceed it would bo discouraging to tho
beet sugar industry which Is lu Its teu

AGAINST SUNDAY GAMES
H Risb Pleads for a More Strict
Observance of the Sabbath
Norfolk July 27 Editor Daily
Nkws Remember tho Sabbath day
to keep it holy is ono of the com
mandments which has never beeu re
volted A great many of our citizens
still try to obey this command and somo
perhaps would rather violate it Now
it is not because we would rob them of
tho enjoyment of tho baso ball game
that we make a protest but because we
do believe iu this command that we ask
them to fix some other day iu which to
play those games Then also lookiug
at It from a business standpoint the
persons who patrouizo baso ball games
away from their home town on Suuday
cauuot do any business oxcept in tho
sporting line so that if those games
wero played on a week day we might
got 6ome outsido trade in other lines
Then thero are a class of peoplo who are
denied tho privilege of looking on be
cause they respect tho Sabbath who
could aud would see the games if played
on some other day
The game for next Suuday is perhaps
all arrangod for and could Hot bo rear
ranged so we will say nothing about
this game but we do ask tho promoters
of these games to please nrraugo thoir
games for some other day iu the future
We also wish to say that if this can
feel very grateful and also wish to say
that wo aro In dead earnest about this
matter and if any games nro played ou
tho Sibbath after July 28 that arrests
will surely follow Yours truly

Whatovor may bo said oof D Clem
Deaver aud his appointment he has cer
tainly smitten some of his onomios hip
nnd thigh in a recent communication to
tho Bee
Within tho past few days I have
been referred to by tho fusion press of
Nebnibka as a traitor satau faced
Janus a Judas aud various other such
uanios as gentlemen always uso
when speaking of their poors
Pray what havo I done that was so
bad aside from rofuelug to be led into
tho democratic party
Tho Omaha World Herald proved to
its own satisfaction that I was a repub
lican iu 1894 soveu years ago
Seriously if a man is a bad wicked
man ho must bo guilty of some bad acts
If a man is a traitor ho must have be
trayed some one I challenge the pro
duction of a statement from any citizen
of Nebraska that I ever betrayed him
They say I fooled the voters by
wholesale aud retail I challenge the
production of a statemont from anyone
to tho effect that ho voted the mid road
ticket last full and is now sorry he did
not voto for Bryan the Poorless States
man
I havo never made a political promise
that was not religiously kept and I chal
lenge a statomout fiom anyone to the
contrary
I never solicited a promise from a
candidate for ollico and always consid
ered it dishonorable to do so I chal
lango a statement from any man that
has ever been a caudidato for office in
this state to tho contrary
Whatever may be said of tho Truo
Populist this Is true Tho fuslouists
could not have bought two columns of
space in it for 75 a day nor for any
price References
and tho triple plated committee of
bogus reformors headquarters at the
end of navigation on Salt Creek form
erly of Lincoln Nob
I have always dealt fairly with my
followmeu and cau see no oxcubo for tho
vile uugontlemanly names instead of
argument that have beeu hurled at me
I became a populist in 1890 because
I houostly believed iu the principles of
that party I never was a democrat
and when it came to choosing between
democracy a party that uover stands
for anything but opposition to what it
is and republicanism a party that
stands for patriotism aud advancement
it did not take mo loug to docide to cast
my lot with the republican party

PRISONERS FILL GUARD HOUSE
A Fino BUnch of Bananas is Captured

O oquleta Mindanao P I Juno 1
1001 To The Niws I will send you
another letter from tho country of many
uegros tho Phillppluo Islands War
here has begun again as far as our sido
Is concerned Our men havo not boon
fired ou as yet but several have come
very near to being cut to piooos by bolo
men for getting out too far from tho
outposts Tho ofllcors aro out nearly
overy day with dotachmonts of soldiers
scouring tho country for iusurrectos
Most of tho work is douo at night bo
causo it is coolor and ttio natives cauuot
see our meu coming and thus oscapo
Thoro aro a great many Filipinos who
want to bo friendly to our side but the
iusurrectos tell them thoy will get into
rouble If thoy do not lot them know of
our movomouts so they tell us all they
can find out about tho iusurrectos and
toll them as little about us as possible
Our mon have killed 11 bolo men mid
have taken a largo quantity of rico
which thoy fouud in somo of the houses
that woro searched When wo took
ohargo of the prisoners thoro were about
05 natives now we havo 05 iu tho guard
house coud a largo number who aro
watched very closely by tho scouts who
seem to know all tho iusurrectos There
woro 15 men out ou May 13 and they
got 10 prisoners iu one bunch all of
whom are held In tho guard house now
Tho guard house is so full that at night
you could walk all over ou tho prisoners
without stepping on the floor I do not
see how 07 men cau lay iu a room about
20 by 80 feet but that is tho numbor in
the largo room of tho guard house
I have not beeu out ou any of the
marches because I do not like to wadet
rivers and marshes well enough to vol
unteer to go I am either on guard or
on old guard fatigue when they take
place so I never get detailod I was
on guard when thoy went out ou horses
IS miles and killed two Filipinos and
took throe prisoners all having bolos on
their persons The boys are getting
pretty well used to marching by this
timo as there is plenty of work for all
I spent May 13 on guard and a fine time
I had of it too
There is no more chasing prisoners
all over town for little things they want
and to talk about what goes on iu the
guard house There has been some
useful information given by the pris
oners so all communication from tho
outside is cut off Even when the
women bring the prisoners food they
aro not allowed to talk together
Last Sunday thfa native scouts killed
three within the line of outposts and if
the priest had not begged the captain to
let their families bury them wo would
havo 1015 Filipinos buried behind our
quarters instead of 100
June 4 The above was written on
Saturday aud before I could finish I
was called away ou duty aud I havo
n U had time to finish until now I was
out ou herd guard last Sunday June 2
aud brought in a largo bunch of ba
nanas almost dead ripe I only have
to keep them a few days until they get
good Herd guard is not easy a person
being compelled to look out for iusur
rectos as they try to steal our horses
There was a detachment of 40 men went
out on the uight of the 2nd and did not
return until tho night of the 3rd They
brought one insurgent officer and four
men whom they captured in a hut in
the mountains They said thoy had
been out about 20 miles aud the greater
portion of the trip was made over
fallen logs Tho boys are nearly nil
worn out and tho two sets of guards
ouly get one night in without old guard
fatigue Wo are off one day aud ou the
uext
The Filipinos are trying to leave tho
islaud and I thluk we will have some
hard work until they surroudor Thoro
are but about 500 Insurrectos but thoy
aro very hard to get at
Our commander at present used to be
captalu of tho voluutoers whom wo re
lieved but will soon be our first lieu
teuant aud our first lieutentant
uow will be our captain the change
will be made June 13 The uames in
rank will then be Captain Welsh
commaudlug officer of tho post and
Lieutenants Elliott and Clark
There has not been a boat hero for 10
days aud the uext that comes will be a
war vessel of some kind We received
13 mules aud a wagou about three
weeks ago and you should have seen the
natives look at them I do not bolievo
ttiey ever saw a mule or a four wheeled
wagou before They acted like children
watchiug a circuB parade There are a
large uumber of cases of the mumps and
malaria fever here but in most cases it
lasts but about 10 days before the pa
tient recovers
I wish you people could visit our bar
racks We have a barber shop aud shoe
shining parlors where wo can get fixed
up flue We must stand inspection
overy time we mount guard aud every
J
Saturday mid must havo our shoos
shluod and our faces shaved or wo nro
liablo to seo tho prisoners view of tho
guard house It costs ur 1 a mouth
for tho barber and 75 cents for shoo
shining
June I just camo off guard aud as
thero is a boat in I must finish this let
tor Tho men who were out helped to
capture about 2000 worth of church
things which tho Iusurrectos took with
them when thoy loft tho town Ono
articlo was n gold ornament used in
worship Today is feast day among tho
Filipinos and they are having a good
timo Thoy have arches up made of
bamboo which would cause au Ameri
can carpoutor to look at tho way thoy
aro built Thoy are scollopod about tho

Thoy had caudles all over the big arch

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
People Should Not be Forced to
Choose Any One Method
Norfolk July 20 Tho man of tho
o
world admires aud respects a sincere
churchman aud ho is an object for emu
lation to nil people but whon he gives
evidences of bigotry they aro up inarms
aud thoir feolings aro repulsed A man
who would stop a baso ball game or a
horse racoon Sunday exhibits the same
Bpirit as the worldly man who would
destroy a church or otherwise disturb a
religious meeting a desire to forco an
other to his way of thinking aud neither
would have tho sanction of a fair minded
man He does not grant the samo lib
erty of action to his fellow man that ho
demaudSjfor himself Tho command to
remember thoSabbath day and keep
it holy is a command to christians but
does not give them license to force suoh
commands on others It has the respect
of many who do not pretend to observe
itnor will thf y be made to observe it
against their wishes Then there are
differences of opinion as to how the day
may be kept holy Because one person
believes that the day should be spent in
prayer and meditation and another in
some other manner of observance is no
cause why tho one should force the
other to observe it in hi 1 way It would
appear ridiculous for a Methodist tosay
to a Lutheran you shall not hold your
missionfest on Sunday that is not keep
ing the day holy audit would appear
strange for an Episcopalian to say to a
Methodist yon shall not hold your camp
meeting on Sunday Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy Tho
person who considers Suuday as his day
of rest should not bo prevented from
enjoying such rest aud it would be pe
culiar indeed for the olerk or other per
son of sedentary occupation to be forced
to believe that his rest means that be
should keep to his home or a place of
worship When he has been in con
finement during tho entire week his
mode of rest would assuredly be to get
out in the air and sunshine and if he
wishes amusement at tho same timo
why should it bo forbid him because ho
does not believe exactly as you do To
force a strict Suuday observance is a
relic of the blue laws when everybody
was compelled to attend church all day
Sunday and forced to remain awake
It is not a true conception of liberty to
bind a person to any certain sort of Sun
day observance Nor will they be
ound The average man of the world
will be convinced by argumeut much
more quickly than he will be driven
