"Umiucatlr.n'ibly ; In till * ruse whit Is sauce

the bottom of the Rranner movement. Hut
politics , an al ay * happen * when they arc
mixed up , eonfimed the ocotimnlra. I ran
conceive no Rreatrr nervlce that any public
men , or powerful newapupor like The Dee ,
could do to the male than to utmly the
economy of Nebraska farming and migRrst
to farmers the application of combined
method * ! In iho purchase of their agricultural
requirement * ! . In the nale of their produce
and , above all. In securing of credit facili
ties on Urms suitable to the particular
Industry. "
"Have you heard of the btet minr.r In
dustry of Nrbrnflka and do rou consider that
the application of co-operation would facili
tate and expedite the development of that
IhduKtry ? "
"I have no technical knowledge of the
Industry , and so speak with diffidence on the
fiiibjrct. From what I have heard of the
matter from friends In nmahn I should
Hay that co-operation was essential to the
highest development of this Industry as n
Croat state resource , which I trust It will
before IOIIR be. I am not fully Informed
upon the question where tinrcflnlnfi should
bo done , whether where the raw nujar Is
made or elsewhere. It would seem to mo
that thnt cud of the business could be most
ndvnntaieomly : concentrated In Omaha and
controlled by the very best business men
of the state. The sugar factories could
then be scattered about the state In suit
able localities.
SPKC1KS OP I'UOI-'IT SHARING.
"I understand that without the refining
plant a moderate capital sulllccs to estab
lish such a factory. It Is In connection
with these local factories that I should like
to see the principle of co-operation put Into
practice. This could best bn achieved by
some such plan as Iho following : A re
fining syndicate or company should ad
vance n portion of the capital required for
the local factory- The farmers surround
ing the factory should bo Invited to be
come shareholders In It. It would bo bet
ter that they should eventually own all the
stock. This would Kuarnntoo that they
would keep up n supply of heels. They
should have. In any case , a stronj ? represen
tation In the directorate. The profits of
the concern should not bo distributed
among the shareholders alone. After a cer
tain Interest was paid on the shares way
8 or 10 per rent the rcm.ilr.ini ; profits should
bo divided between the workers In the fac
tory ( by way of a bonus on wages earned ) ,
and among the suppliers of bcrts , to each
In proportion to the beets supplied. Of
course Iho farmers would be paid for the
beets os delivered , but the current prlre
would leave a margin of profit to bo di
vided as sugsested. This Is true cooperation
tion , and by It the Interest of nil would
be to make the scheme succeed. You would
soon find that the farmers , assured that
the profits of their labors would revert to
themselves , would conduct their end of
the business In the brst possible wny and
would become enthusiastic supporters of
the Industry. You would . find , too , that
this combination of producers \\onld give
u sound foundation to the whole Industry ,
which would be n dominant factor In the
competition with other sugar manufacturing
and rellnlng renters. 1 bolle.vo that for
eign capital would bo readily attracted to
nn Industry built up on such a system. "
"Hut would not great dll'ieii'ty bo ex
perienced In explaining to farmers and
others the details of such n scheme DS you
propose ? "
"The difficulty would bo by no means
Insuperable. Of course It is necessary that
the broad principles of the scheme should
be understood , and this would require an
exposition. The state would do well to
pay the small cost which the thorough ex
planation of the scheme would Involve-
that Is. to pay competent organisers , such
as our society In Ireland sends around , to
do the work. Hut I can't go Into any fur
ther detail1 ! . "
"I nm mire , Mr. I'luukctt. much food for
reflection will bo found In your sugges
tions. May I j'ist nsk you one more ques
tion ? \Vlfat do you think the General cf-
fccl of tin ) presidential "
"Oh , don't you think that , having ex
cused me from the necessity of talking of
Irish politics , I might deny myself the lux
ury of American politics ? "
With this suggestion , to which The
Hco reporter could not refine to fall In.

WAS3HINOTON , Nov. 20. It Is not probable -
able that the houae at the coining se Blon of
ccngrcsn , which beglna a week Trom tomor-
rj > w. can dispose of much of the proposed
ItRlslatlou which encumbers Its calendars ,
hlttlo In usually accomplished at the short
session beyond the passage of the regular
supply bills. Still , the house with tta In
strumentalities for the expedition of busi
ness can accomplish a creat deal In a brief
tlmo. The question of additional revenues
for Iho government will depend on the. sen
ate , to which body the house sent the Dins-
loy bill almost a year ago. Should It be
Impossible ) or bo deemed Inexpedi
ent to press that measure through
the senate there Is , of course ,
a possibility that the proposal to In
crease the revenues by nn additional tax on
beer , for the Imposition of n duty on tea ,
coffee , etc. , may take tangible form , and If
so such legislation must originate under the
constitution in the lower branch of con-
Bt ess.
There are on the several calendars of the
house 1,103 hills reported from the various
committees and the proportion which will
puss at the coming session must bo , neces
sarily , almost Infinitesimal. Most of them
nro , of course , private bills ( of which there
are 1,100) ) , but there are also 2SI ) bills on tin-
calendar on fie state of the union and nine
ty-six public bills on the regular house cal
endar. Some of these nro of very great
putllc Importance and those Interested will
no doubt do nil In their power to secure
action on them.
I'OWHK OF TIII3 COMMITTEE.
The powers lodged In the hands of the
committee on rults , which glvo the incmberu
of that committee control of the house pro
gram will make the committee the practical
arbiter of what shall be submitted to the
house- for Its action. That committee Is
composed , as at present constituted , of the
speaker , Mr. Henderson < of Iowa. Mr. Dal-
zoll of Pennsylvania and Mr. McMlllln of
Tennessee. The death of ex-Speaker Crisp
creates a vacancy at Ihe head of the minor
ity of tin ? committee which must bo filled
by the speaker. The names principally men
tioned In connection with the vacancy arc
Mr. Ilalley of Texas , Mr. Patchings of Mis
sissippi. Mr. Turner of Georgia , Mr. Richard
son of Tonucssoo and Mr. Dockery of Mis
souri. . .
The bill , which , In many res'poi-ts. IP
fraught this tlmo with mwt Interest , and
which will press hardest for consideration. Is
the Pacific railroad funding bill. The bonds
guaranteed by the government are payable
early In the coming year , nnd either an extension
the roads In
tension or n foreclosure stares
the face. Kor eight years funding bills have
received n good share of the attention of cori-
grosti. The proujnt bill , of which Mr. Pow
ers of Virginia U the author , was reported
. 'liorlly before the close of the last session ,
everything will bo done by these Interested
In It to nocnro consideration.
OTIIEII IMPORTANT MEASURES.
The friends of the Nicaragua ! ! canal , are
also bending cveiy energy to secure action
on the bill reported by Mr. Donllttle. which
provides for n guarantee bv the United States )
of $100(100.000 ( of bonds for the con.'itriictlon
of the canal. The war elalmn committee ,
which showed light on several occasions' at
the laiit cesplon. promises to renew Its ng-
gresslvenesu this winter , and especially for
Iho passage of the claims awarded un lei
the llownian act , and the French spoliation
claims. These claims , the former amounting
to $562,159. and the latter to $2,70S.10G. were
put on the sundry civil bill , nnd at the
last soffllon , as a rider of the senate , but the
bill was vetoed by the president , and they
were then dropped. Mr. Malion , who In
chairman of the war claims committee , will
also proas the Pennsylvania border claims ,
which lave been pending In coiigre. for
ycara The Load bill lo euro the nbnsesi of
the law relating to second class mull matter.

the law In various ways for the transmis
sion of books and pamphlets , will aim be
preujed. as will also the Plckler forvlco pen

"Here. Clinton , stop that fighting or I'll

as ho looked out of the window and noticed
Clinton scrapping with another kid.

and pa sailed In and made mo think summer
had come again , that's all. Pa's awful
touchy lately and you can't "
"Ah , ha ! llecn putting up another job
on him , liavo you ? "
"It wasn't mo ; It was this kid. You see.
It was just llko this. Pa had some whirls
ho wanted taken to the" laundry , as he wan
going to Chicago the next day , and he
didn't have enough clean ones to last far
the round trip. Ho told mo to take 'cm down
to the laundry and call for 'em the next
day. This kid was going down to the li
brary to get a book , so while wo were walkIng -
Ing across the viaduct what dccsjbe do but
put It In my head to play n joke on pa.
You know where that Chinese laundry Is
down on Sixteenth street near Gamer's , don't
you ? Well , we took 'em In there , telling
the nlmond-ejed pigtail we'd call for "cm
the next afternoon. He gave me a piece of
brown paper with a lot of Chinese signs or
\it , which was a kind of rc-eelpt. you knov.
"Well , me and thjs kid got some brown
paper coming homo and we fixed uv a re
ceipt Just like the one the Chinaman gave
us. The next afternoon I sends this kid
down to the laundry with the counterfeit
ticket , and Mr. John Chinaman hand.i out
the bundle. About half an hour later I
steps Into the joint , presents my ticket
and lajs down the money. The Chinaman
hunted high and lc < w for the bundle , looked
over his tickets and say , but you should
n-beon there ! John calls another fellow
from the back room and the two put thcli
heads together nnd pretty soon two more
plpo-hltters come down from the second
story. Well , sir , for the next five minute.
It was as good as seeing DufTalo Hill's Wild
West ! I finally got tired waiting aivl told
John I wanted these shirts nnd I wanted
'em before dark. Ho looked at mo and
grinned , and all I could get out of him
was clack-olack-clack-clack-clack-clack.
"I got mad after a while and told him
to give me back the ticket. Ho handed mr
the one this kid had made , but I told him
that didn't go ; I wanted the other one or
the shirts , and I didn't wont any foolish
ness about It. either. lie finally gave mi
the rlprht ticket and 1 took It to pa , tolllm.-

washce. Pa , you know , went to San Fran
cisco last month , and as he spent a couple
of days and nights In Chinatown. I thought
maybe ho had learned rncunh cf their lan
guage to talk to the rat-caters and mukc
'em understand what was what. Pa looked
at his watch and eaid It WM getting pretty
near train tlnic. so he'd have to hurry up
and straighten those Chinamen out. Hi-
went a-kltlng acrcss the viaduct with mi
about a couple of blocks bt-hlml him , for
I knew thcre'd be some fun down tn Six
teenth street and I didn't want to miss
that for anything. Well , pa wallu-d Into
the joint , laid down the ticket and money.
telling John to hurry up , as his train wac
getting ready to pull out. All pa coull
got out of 'cm was clack-clack-clack-clack-
clack-clack , Just the same aa I got. Pa
pounded on the Ironing board and held
the receipt under the Chinaman's nose.
but that bluff didn't work a llttlo bit.
After looking at his watch and ocolns that
his train was then duo on the other side
of the river , and still no shirts In night
pa peeled oft his coat and proceeded to
clean out the place , throwing one heathen
through the window , pounding another.
and scaring the others out through the
UUflx I1UUI.
"After the battle was over pa put on his
coat , crabbed up a bundle and started for
home , telling Mr. Gamer he'd like to see
the lambasted Chinaman tlmt could steal his
thirls. When ho got homo and opened the
bundle , to put the shirts In his grip , what
do you suppose ho found. Two pink shirt
waists and a night dress ! Well , sir , If there
over was a real mad man In Omaha pa was
that man. Ho didn't say very much , but
when ho stuck his gun In his overcoat
pocket and told ma ho was going to Chicago
on another train I know thero'd bo a dead
Chinaman In town before 7 o'clock the next
morning unless pa got these other slilrin
Just as pa was going out the front Kate who
should como along hut this kid and elves
the whole snap away ! Pa ran upstairs to
by room , four nteps at a time , pulled mo
out from under the cover and shook mo until
my teeth rattled llko a man a-dragglng a
IOR chain down a flight ot stairs. Ho Kot
the big trunk strap and warmed me up with
that until I had to cot down on my kncca
and dig these shirts out from under my bod.
Ho made mo promise to take the shirt waists
and the night dress down to the laundry In
the morning but I 'em ' '
, gave to 'Red lilrd'
and told her they belonged to her Bister !
You can say what you plcaao about pa , but
when It comes to cleaning out. a Chinese
joint ho's right In It. I've got to go to the
bakery and get a loaf of bread for ma , but
this thing Isn't settled yet. not by a long
jump. I'll BCD you tomorrow , young fel

The close of Ihe foot ball season of TiO
In the west flails the game upon a ttlgltc
level than It has over been before. It la
better , more sclentincnlly nnd less brutally
played ; It U played and unjoyod as n health
ful and wholesome .sport by the many In
stead of the few ; It enjoys a higher csteen
among westerners generally than at the cm
of any previous season. These are boh
statements to make In view of some tils
couraglns Incidents of the season , but leone
one who studies all the conditions
tlmt have existed during the season , their
truth Is apparent.
There can be no question as to the- ad
vancement of the Kiimo In the west from
the Btnndpolnt of. the lover of sclentHU
foot ball. The Nebraska , Iowa and Kansas
university elevens nrcsulllelent proof ol
this statement. The won ; of Iowa , nm !

further proof of the now almost undisputed
fact that gootl foot bull depends moro on
faithful training , concerted nt-tlon , stniti-slf
pinylng and less on mere brute strength.
Coach Robinson wpoeliilly bus made

to declare him the best conch Nebraska

siderably better tinm work th.itl Hull illd.
It would be unjust to detract to the extent
of one lota from Iowa's victory on Satur
day , but it must be acknowledged tlmt
Nebraska displayed superior team work ,
lown won because Us Immensely ht.ivler

"Trumpet seance117 North Nineteenth
street. Sunday ovonlnn , 8 p. m. sharp , Or.
ftcorge , " was the announcement written on
a llttlo pieceof cardboard that found Its
way Into the hands of n lice reporter last
evening.
A molest little cottage U located nt Iho
number Riven nnd tn the parlor at the
hour specified a group of the faithful hail
already congregated. There were also a
number present who hailed from Missouri.
They were for the most part Inclined to
act a little ncrvoua nt such close proxim
ity to departed relatives and friends , but
managed to whllo away the time until the
arrival of the chief medium by poking into
the corners ln > search of an occasional
spool ; that might linger there. * The at-
iiiosphero wart clammy nnd swelled as of
Brave-yard mould. A solitary lamp placed
on a bureau cast nn opalescent hue over
the little nmllenco and did Its beat to break
down the spirits at these whc nought 'to
be cheerful.
When things had reached a point where
the oppressive tnllnejiec of .tho surroundings
could bo cut with a knlfo I'tot. Amae
Wheeler of Syracuse. N. Y. . was announced.
Ho came Into the room with his wife , n
little bluck-cjed woman who carried n
couple of tin hcrna , such as are used on
rea-golng uuscls In a fog. There was noth
ing peculiar about the horns which would
lead the casual observer to hcllevo that
ho could through their medium telephone
to a departc. ! friend who owed him $10.
The horns were placed I MI the center of the
nll r.ln fi .riiiml nt Alinst * U'lm U'lallHil In m > ll-
etratu the mysteries of Hie great beyond
and the "professor" delivered a abort speech ,
which' ' was substantially as follows :
HAD AN AVBRSION TO LIGHT.
"Friends , we are congregated here tonight
to talk through these trumpets to the spirits
of the dear departed. After the magnetic
current Is formed by the jolnlnr ; of hands we
will then be in condition , through my
mcdlumshlp , to hear the woids of uur lost
ones. The whispering voters of thOo who
have gone before will penetrate from their
homes of love on high and will answer such
questions as may be put to them. The
spirits over which 1 have control do not
manifest themselves in the light , therefore 1
am obliged to turn out the lamp. I tmiut
request that no one of the circle leave hit ,
scat and also that no one strike a match ,
as this has the effect of dispelling the de
parted Hliuili-s of those to whom we would
converse. In case a light U made by a dis
believer , only the trumpets will bo discov
ered prostrated in front of me. "
The helpmnto of the profiesor took her
station In the circle directly opposite him
with the horns within reach between. Till-
light was extinguished and thu seance was
on. " .My seiinccs are opened always by Isa
bella , n nun who passed hence many yearn
ago , " explained the medium. "I alsn largely
control the spirit of Patrick O'Hrlcn , who la
one of my most faithful shades , lloiilulu. an
Indian maiden , will also talk with us , " he
concluded. Imperceptibly a little , thin
voice Issued from one of the lUi cornucotilas.
as though by accident the voice of a voi.-
trlloquist had uandcrcd lute It. This wau
followed li > the clashing together of the
trumpi ts and then the voice of an Irishman ,
who announced that he had been killed In : t
railroad accident , claimed attention. There
were ceveivl present who at once recognized
the voice of the unfortunate , although h
had been no p.irtlcular chum of thclr's whll
on earth and a few felt the contact of
spectral baud.
The ahado of Patrick essayed to speak o
the relatives of one of those present whoi
hf persisted in calling "Rachacl. " He cvl
dc-itly made n mistake In the crowd fo
no one remembered ever iiuvini ; had sue
a person In the family circle. He mcntlone
"Nellie. " but she was u drug on the market
so he was banished and a childish vole
claimed the attention of the circle. A
old matron In one corner Immediately rcco ; ;
nizcd a lest one and Dr. Ucurtv , who claspv
bands with the medium's wife had an at
tank of dilll.s nnd fever which shook th
building. He vowed It was the Icy hrcat
nf Ihe < spirlt which bad manifested itself.
At this nnment a woman who sat nca
the medium ami whosi > nerves were ovci
wrought by the thought of the spectral belli
so near her , KufTrred a collapse and tihrlckct
"I Bhall falnl ! " The tin hoi 113 fell to th
floor with u crash and thu seanco was de
clarrd over by the medium. The lamp one
more Illiimncd Ihe scene nnd the assemble
eefkers after the myatenoua hastened t
congratulate the piofessar on the entlr
succeed of his manifestations.
