will bo put In the field to solicit bus !
ness for the firm. The firm has been
Incorporated under the state laws of
Nebraska foi twenty years. Norfolk's
location and other advantages ofTeied

ferlng advantages over Omaha , Sioux
City or any other point for this Instl
tutlon. The machinery and fixtures o :

and active business will begin by Jan
uary 1.
Will Manufacture Fine Candles.
The new firm will , besides doing a
wholesale business in all sorts of con
fections , cigars , California fruit juices
and fancy groceries , will manufacture
all of Its own candles and this will be
one of the most important features of
the Industry. Everything In the candy
line will be made , and the product
will be made so as to compete with
the finest candles of all sorts on the
Amorlcan market. Stick candles ,
chocolates and bon-bons of all kinds
will be made and It Is said that thoR
< R- ' output will be the equal in quality of
| | " ' . any confectionery product made any
where not barring Omaha , Chicago ,
Now York or Boston. Only the finest
of machinery and the very latest mod
els for this work will be Installed , and ,
„ ' ; since two of the firm aio experienced
f candy men , there is no reason why
the quality will not at once becoiro
the standard for this territory.
Who the Men In the Firm Are.
The following three commercial
'
" travelers , who have owned homes and
lived in Norfolk for the past three
years , are members of the new firm :
M. M. Faucelt , president ; W. E. Ha-
ger , vice president ; S. R. Carney , sec
retary and treasurer.
Mr. Carney has for years been a
representative of the Wright , Wilhel
my company , hardware jobbers , of
Omaha.
Mr. linger has been a representative
for the Richardson dry goods company
of St. Joseph , Mo.
Mr. Faucett has been with Palmer
& Co. , candy manufacturers in Sioux
City.
City.Mr.
Mr. Faucett and Mr. Hagor are prac
tical candy men , having had experi-
c.'io ' In this line , while Mr. Carney Is
a very thorough business man and ono
well acquainted with wholesale meth
ods.
ods.On
On January 1 the new firm will buy
out the business of Fnucett & Carney ,
nnd will still continue to distribute the
California fruit Juices which are now
being handled in this territory by Mr.
Faucett and Mr. Carney.
It Is thought that It will take sixty
days before the now plant can bo got
In shape to do active business.
All Wholesale , no Retail.
The firm say that at every point of
their preliminary transactions , such as
getting the building , etc. , they have
been met with surprise nt the fact
that the firm will do nil wholesale nnd
no retail business. There will bo noth
ing but wholesaling doneby the Insti
tution and , as one of them puts It , it
will bo Impossible to got oven so much
as a stick of candy nt retail.
The flvo traveling "men who will
cover the territory will bo placed ,
probably , at the following points , In
order to best handle the business :
Two at Norfolk , one at ( irand Island ,
one at Chadron and one at Fremont
Building Being Remodelled.
Picllmlnaiy steps have nltoadyhocn
tiiKen to remodel the Ulseley block for
the start of the now enterprise. A
freight elevator has been ordered to
run from the basement ( o the third
Moor , for the purpose of transferring
up and down the various cargoes
which will bo shipped out , An olllco
will ho prepared In the front end of
the building , where the business mat-
teis will bo attended to.
Employ Twenty-five to Thirty.
"The plant will bo complete nnd up-
to-dato In every detail , " said ono of
the ( Inn today , "and we will employ
nil the year around from twenty-live
to thirty people to handle the whole
saling nnd the manufacturing depart
ments.
Mr. Fnucott will continue his old
teirltory for the now ( Inn for n time.
The new Industry , according to the
plans , will bo a thorough credit to
Norfolk anil will bo a material addi
tion to the city's Industrial and com-
metclal life. It will bo n help In buildIng -
Ing up Norfolk.
"f Why They Selected Norfolk.
' fn ' > o new firm selected Norfolk as
< C < j.'icnllon for so\ oral reasons. In
thv \y place they consider Its geo-
grairt i T ? 'icatlon to bo fur superior
for roftri , this territory than any
ether cits' They will bo able to reach
towns over a largo area twenty-four
hours quicker than can Omaha or
Sioux City. In the second place , they
can tinnsact their business more eco
nomically in Norfolk than in a city
larger than this. Their rental hero Is
much loss than it would bo for the
same building In Sioux City or Oma
ha. They can got their raw materials'
hero at n cost no greater than In other
points. They sny that the out-rnto In
freight tariffs Is In their favor , as com
pared with Sioux City or Omnhn , and
that these considerations more than
overbalance the advantages which
might have been offered them by Sioux
City or Omaha.
The members of the now firm are
all well known among dealers in their
lines of business all through the ter
ritory which they will cover with their
new distributing plant. They ctard
high among all those in Norfolk who
know them or who have done business
with them during their residence In
this city. The fact that they are all
giving up good paying positions on the
road for other flrms , and are sinking
their money Into this plant , Is In itself
enough evidence of their faith In the
success of the big venture , and Nor
folk people will unquestionably be
glad to coopoiate with them in any
way possible to help assure that suc
cess.
Norfolk to be Jobbing Center.
"Norfolk Is hound to be a jobblrg
and wholesale center just as sure as
the sun rises and sets , " said one ol
the members cf this firm. "Within
another year there will bo n wholesale
grocery house In Norfolk without a
doubt. "
Water works will be Installed
throughout the building , and all mod
ern equipments.

FOR INSURANCE REFORM
Commissioners Adopt Resolution
Against Rebate Evil ,
Washington. Oct. 5. The National
Association of Insurance Commis
sioners adopted a. resolution against
the so-called rebate evil , from which
It was stated the public had suffered
even nt the hands of some of the big
gest companies. It was explained that
many Insurance companies run regu
Jar get-rlch-quick schemes under the
guise of offering enoimous dividends
that are wholly Impossible of realiza
tion. It was shown that frequently
some wealthy and Influential man In
a community Is offered .1 secret or
special contract , reducing the cost of
the Insurance to him on the promise
that he will work for the ends of the
company In his locality. It was rep
resented that many people who take
the chance of getting large dividends
are Induced to Insure beyond tholr ca
pacity to pay. but that these divi
dends , which , It was stated , are really
secret rebates , go to the richer mem
bers of the community , who , It was al
leged , do not need them.
The convention already had adopt'
ed the standard blank for obtaining
information from the various compa
nies doing business In the several
states. A motion was agreed to au
thorizing the secretary to collect
enough from the states present to
cover the expenses for this purpose
and then notify the states not present
that they were expected to contribute.

FOREIGN RESIDENTS OF CUBA
EAGER "FOR AMERICAN RULE.
DESIRE IS NOW VOICED OPENLY
Islanders Will Hold Meetlno at Ha
vana Sunday to Discuss Feasibility
of Obtaining Vote of People on tha
Question Taft Moves to Palace.
Hiivuim. Oct. C. Now that the ills-
armiimunt of the revolutionists and
the Bovornmont volunteers Is progressIng -
Ing steadily , the thouBhtful poilions
of the public of all nationalities arc
aniniatudly discussing tlie possibilities
of Cuba's future foim of KOV ( innieiit
The desire lor annexation , which IIIIH
been caiefully concealed foi Iho past
four years , Is now voiced openly and
the wish that the United Slates idnln
some measure of actual control In
Cub'in affairs la heard moro Insistently
than over.
Hepresentatlvcs of loading elements ,
both Cuban and foreign , have boon
risked to attend a meeting Sunday to
discuss the feasibility of holding some
sort of plebiscite by which all clashes
of the population would bo enabled to
express their Ideas on what the future
form of government should be.
The Idea of holding the next elec
tions In January has been entirely
abandoned , the general nreforenco
among Cubans appearing to
holding of elections In Juno The
quest.on of the status of eongicss and
whether senators and ropiCHentnlivcs
are to receive their salailes after the
establishment of the provisional gov
ernment will bo decided in Washing
ton.
Reports of the disarmament opera
tions show considerable delay and
confusion , but no real opposition.
While on their way from Havana to
Qulnes , General Kims ton and General
Agramonte were halted by Insurgent
sontlnelH , who threatened to fire upon
them In the belief that they belonged
to the rural guards. The sentinels
were profuse In their apologies when
they learned who was In the automo
bile. The news that Gcnoral Kunston
was passing through spread through
out the section , and on the return
trip to Havana women along the route
pelted Funston's automobile with
flowerB.
Governor Alemnn telegraphed Gov
ernor Taft that disarmament In Santa
Clara province was going on steadily
and quietly. Senor Ale-man has con
sented to romaln as governor of the
province.
The latest dispatch received by Gov
ernor Taft from Santiago says that
700 rebels at Santiago , Guantanaino
and Bnracoa have laid down their
arms.
Government volunteers mustered
out 400 of Pine Guerra's men. who
had been sent Into Plnar del Rio from
Santiago do las Vegas. This opera
tion passed without Incident.
Coincident with the occupation of
the palace by Governor Taft. the garrison
risen of rural yuardsmen which has
been maintained since the beginning
of the trouble , was sent elsewhere.
The palace Is guarded now by only
half n dozen polk'ion. . The pre
vious atmosphere of formality at the
palace disappeared with the departure
President Palma. The American
authorities are quite accessible to vis
itors.
