"Norfolk will have a sugar factory

sugar factory will pay here ami can be
made a big success and Loavltt Is the
man to make It so. With us be has
jusl doubled bis factory this year and
there are enough beets ahead down
( hero to run another month. The
farmers raise beets for him because
he makes money for thorn. Wo tried
raising beets for the Oxuard people
but wo quit when they lot them free/.o
on us In the ears and then paid us a
dollar a ton for them and that after
we had a contract for $5 a ton. At
Ames they are putting through frozen
beets and they seem to get the sugar
out of them all right. I haven't heard
ol any trouble about frown beets with
the Standard people. 1 don't see why
they won't take hold of this proposi
tion one way or another within a few
mouths. They will put in now ma
chinery and make n business proposi
tion out of them that will bo a good
thing for the city and the surrounding
country. We think our factory is
worth a good deal just for the food
that the beet pulp makes. "
Mcxlco-St. Louis Special.
In the Lathi-American republic be-
viinil the Kio Grande lies Hie wonder
land of present da > tourists , as well as
the richest Held of Investment that now
challenges the attention of American
capital ami enterprise. Only n few-
years since Mexico was looked upon
as a country too remote for the av
erage traveler to entertain hopes of
crossing its threshold ; today Its cap
ital city is but sixty hours distant from
St. Louis A semi-weekly train service
has been established , via the Iron
Mountain route , the Texas & Paclllc
and the International & Croat North
ern , representatives of the Gould in
terest. and the national lines of Mexico
ice beyond the "Uiredo Gateway , "
leaving SI. l ouls at 9:00 : a. in. each
Tuosiho and Friday , and reaching the
City of Mexico nt 8:30 : p. m. on the
Thursday and Sunday following. The
train will be equipped with compart
ment , observation anil standard draw
ing room sleeping cats and dining car.
Its ivmarkalily speedy schedule is
made possible by doing away with nil
changes or lay-overs , and , for the tlrst
time since the sister republics were
joined together by links of glistening
steel , an Interchange of visits across
the national boundary means simply
the journey of a few hours surrounded
by all the pleasureable amenities of
modern travel. Much of good can bo
expected from these changed condi
tions. The people of Mexico have long
evidenced an enlightened appreciation
of the kindly Interest of their northern
neighbors lit their country and Us his
tory. Institutions and wonderful re
sources , while on our part there Is an
acknowledged recognition of the fact
that n closer social and commercial
relationship with that progressive na
tion is In every way desirable. The
inauguration of this now train service
Is a stop In the right direction and
meets the needs of the hour. It Is
typical of the tireless interest shown
by the roads concerned in the upbuild
ing of the great southwest , and will
doubtless receive the hearty encour
agement nnd support of the traveling
public.

programs that made the trio famous
from the Missouri to Gotham. Induced

those famous sinters. So far as can

AH a conventional rural melodrama
Uncle Josh Spniceby nt the Auditori
um last evening carried out Its pur
pose. It follows closely the lines of
the plays of Its class which have been
prevalent of recent years. There Is
the country girl who marries the vil
lain from the city nnd whoso life Is
ruined thereby. Through his mnchlnn-
( Ions she finds her life threatened
many times and Is only rescued In
variably In the very nick of time.
When once violence begins the action
becomes alarmingly rapid. The rural
character , even as ho might exist In
Vermont , is too well known in the
west for anyone to bo able to sympa-
fhl/.e and feel with the characters , who
bear the brunt of the struggle in Uncle
Josh Spniceby. A fair audience greet
ed the company and wore fairly well
pleased with their efforts. A number
of specialties were interspersed
throughout the acts.

WILL CHARGE HIM WITH FORGERY
Henry Hascnpflug Has Ernest Manske
Arrested and Jailed.
Ernest Mniiske was arrested yostor-
ay on a charge of assault made by
lenry Hasenpllng and his trial was
ot for tomorrow. It Is understood
lint a new complaint charging him
vlth forgery will bo filed against Man-
ho in the morning before the hearing.
About two weeks ago Mansko cashed
check for $15 at W. C. Roland's
tore at the Junction , which was held
p by the Nobrnskn National bank and
vas repudiated by Hasenpllng. At
hat time Mansko went to Sioux City
nd the matter was presumably set-
led by all parties concerned until the
llfllciilty of last evening when , It is
illeged , Mansko struck Hasenpflug in
he face. Following this llasenpllug
md him arrested on the charge of as-
unit and now declares that be will

MAY SELL SEWERJONDS TO STATE
Overtures. Have Been Made to State
Treasurer for Disposing of Them.
Overtures have been made to State
Treasurer Mortenscn with regard to
ho sale of the contemplated sewer
toiids. If ho shows a desire to take
the bonds It is probable that an
iniendmcnt will be made to the ordi-
lance at the next meeting calling for
such bonds as be would ho willing to
buy , both as regards years to run and
ilso per cent , of Interest. There is a
general feeling among the members of
the council that It would bo better to
sell such bonds to the state than to
my bond broker , who would probably
pay slightly below par for them and
demand a stiffer rate of interest.
In connection with the talk about
the building of the sewer City Attor
ney Weathorby has made the state
ment that a special tax of 80 cents a
running foot will be made against
nbutting property on those streets
where the sewer runs. This tax on
the sewer projected in connection with
the bonds will raise in excess of $4.-
000. This tax is besides thnt which
must bo borne by each property own
er of the city to pay for the sewer
bonds and Is only borne by those ,
whoso property Is directly benefited
by the sower.
In building laterals from the main
sewers afterward the tax of 80 cents
a foot will bo sufficient to pay for the
sewer with the exception of the street
crossings , which will have to bo paid
by the city. This will make it possi
ble in the more thickly populated portions
tions of the city to secure sewer con
nections within a couple of years for
several miles of streets without issu
ing any more bonds. This additional
expense will all be borne by property
holders directly benefited and can only
be put In on petition from them.

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK COMMIS
SION COMPANY.
Views of the Live Stock Markets at
South Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Mgr.
South Omaha. Feb. S. Whllo prices
for cattle are not as high as we would
like to see them , our predictions are
being made good , as each week shows
gain. There is no question about the
demand being better , and with hogs
and sheep comparatively high , wo still
believe cattle will sell higher ; and
with favorable conditions for feeding ,
wo would not ship cattle until they
are in good condition.
The Omaha market Is still in line on
most grades , Including butcher stock ,
and all will do bettor later.
StocKers and feeders are strong and
will also sell higher during the next
few months , and wo advise yon to
place your orders with us If in need
of anything in this line. Good to
choice fat steers $4 S5 to $5.25 ; fair
to good $1.50 to $1.85. Light stockers
$ : ! .75 to $1.25 ; good to choice feeders
$1.00 to $1.50 ; common cattle at the
usual discount.
The hog trade Is In line shape , with
an active demand for nil thnt como ,
the bulk selling nt $5.55 to $5.05 , with
fnvorable prospect during this month.
It has been an established fact slnco
times Immemorial that history repeats
Itself and this Is as good an explana
tion us any of the general condition
existing at all sheep and lamb mar
kets : the same old story ns a few
years ago : Continued heavy ship
ments of half fat stuff that is not fit
for mutton hilly thirty days in advance
of the time for eastern feeders to bo
ready to handle much of this stuff ,
but the strength shown In the demand
for the past two days should assure
feedeis that prices will respond read
ily with a fair marketing of the good
kinds of stock and be governed ac
cordingly. The market is fully as
high as last week's close , the reaction
on account of the demands of mutton
buyers yesterday and today exceeding
Monday's loss In values. Best lamba
are selling from $ G.75 to $7.00 ; fair to
good $0.00 to $0.50 ; best yearlings
$5.75 to $0.00 ; wothcrs $5.50 to $5.75 ;
ewes $5.00 to $5.25 ; fair to good $1.25
to $4.75.
We do not look for any very decid
ed increase in prices during the next
week , as the market Is not as firmly
established as it appears , but is still
sensitive. Eastern feeders will ship
heavier during the next thirty days
and as fast as they sell , will be in the
market for more stuff. The only rea
son that the bottom did not drop clear
out of the hunt ) market during the
[ last two weeks , is that these people
Imve been taking the stuff at better
prices than mutton buyers would pay.
Wo advise shipping anything that is
fat and ready for market , and do not Ci
pass any of the Missouri river markets
without offering your stuff for sale.
These markets have been and are
higher in comparison than any of the
eastern markets.
During the past week we have m ado
the following sales at Omaha and St.
