A man with all of the characteristics and

ho went lo the huck door anil rapped , and
ellll being unsuccessful ho tried several of
Iho widows. They wcro fastened down too

force an entrance and went to the barn.
None of the members of Iho marker family

eaw Iho fellow. When ho came from Ihe
barn ho was currying a bundle of clolhlng.
The neighbors followed him when ho left
and kept him lu sight until he readied
Eighth street where Ofllcer Covalt was en

At the station the fellow denied that ho

The rraldcnco of W. L. Henry , proprietor
of the Evans laundry , was raided by bur
glars yesterday while the family was ut-
lendlng church. Entrance was effected from
the rear of Ihe premises , SOS Sixth avenue ,
by forcing open a window. The burglars
had evidently been correctly Informed con
cerning the habits of the family , and real
ized lhat there was no danger of an Inter
ruption until the time arrived for the re
turn of the members from church. Consid
erable tlmo was evidently taken In making
a careful and systematic search for valu
ables , as every room and apartment In the
house was visited and all the contents care
fully examined. In one room $10.35 In cash
was discovered , and all of the Jewelry and
valuable little trinkets In the others that
could he of any service to the vUltara were
taken , Including cuff buttons , breastpins and
some other old and highly prized Jewelry.
The thieves completed their work In ample
time to get away before being Interfered
with , and left as they came , with no clew
bchlcd them.
Chief of Police Canning sounds > a note of
warning to citizens concerning the habit of
leaving their houses alone nnd unguarded ,
and says there are a number of very omooth
and successful sneak thieves In the city and
some burglars who manage to keep out of
the nay ot the police. He ouggests that a
Httlo extra vigilance on the part of tin-
citizens will materially help the police to
catch the burglars and protect property.
If the presence of any suspicious characters
Is noted In a community he asks that the
police bo at r nco Informed of the fact , when
in officer will ho sent to the locality to
Investigate. The officers believe that them
will be an Increase of burglaries and cases
of petty thievery from now on until the

The farmers In the vl-jlnlty of the Iowa
St'aool for the Deaf have organized a sort
of vigilance committee for mutual protection
from the raids of thieves. The necessity for
such an organization lies In the fact that a
band of the robbers has been persistently
operating In the vicinity for the last two
weeks , nnd while frequently chased by the
individual farmers , have succeeded In get
ting away with the plunder they went after.
Half a drzen complaints have como to the
polho In the city nud. iti two instances Wio
thieves were traced to their homes after
having made a suircessful raid.
The dlfllculty In Identifying the stolen
stuff , which In each of these Instances was
ahelled corn , decided the ofllccrs and the
farmers not to place the parties under ar
rest , but wait until they could be wught lu
Kie act or found with stolen prcperty that
could admit of easy and certain Identifica
tion. The farmers have organized ami are
now conducting a regular nightly patrol.
On Sunday night N. Lewis reported to the
police that his feed yard had been Invaded
nnd forty bushels of shelled corn taken. Ho
Is feeding a largo number of cattle and Is
using shelled corn. The thieves drove into
his barnyard and loaded up twenty two-
bushel sacks. On the previous evening they
broke open a corn crib on the premises of
J. C. Lewis , a brother of the former , and
hauled away a couole of wagon loads. An
other night last week they took a load of
hogs from another farmer named Williams.
Another farmer returned from town Into one
evening and left a light Ei.irlug wagon , con
taining a quantity of groceries , standing In
ilia barnyard. During the night the whole
outfit was stolen , Including a set of har
ness from the barn. Every farmer In the
vicinity has lost something withla t'lo laot
few weeks and about half of them have had
ait or iiieir cnicKens sioien since tno winter
began.
It has been ascertained that the thieves
leave -their homes In this city every night
and make a raid on the farmers or gardeners -
donors somewhere before they return. The
Josses hove become so great and tbo raids
-constant that the farmers have deter
mined to resort to the same effective methods
that -were - peculiar in pioneer days. The
farmerH are wrought up to a high pitch and
are desperately In earnest. 0 < no of the suf
ferers was In town last evening and the
facts concerning the organization were given
out.

Representative Whelan's bill to give every
county In Iowa a representative has the op
position of at least two Dos Molnes news
papers , says the Des Molnes Capital. Mem
bers of the legislature friendly to It argue
that the measure la but justice to many
counties that have had no representative
Jn years. Osccola county Is cited as one
which , though It has a population of about
S 000 , has not had a representative In twenty
years. It Is claimed that by the plan no
Injustice can bo done counties now having
moro tnan ono representative. The few ob
jections , chief of which Is that by the now
order such counties as Polk would not have
as many members of the leclidaturo In pro
portion -population as Emmet , are claimed
to bo without material foundation and fur
nish no moro potent argument against the
moisuro than would the claim that Con
necticut has more senators In the national
congress In proportion to her population than
has Iowa be an argument against the pres-
out manner of apportioning senate-fa , These
members call attention to the fact thut
under the now anangcmcut there will bo
no Wright-Hancock muddles , and that such
good men as Cornwall will not bo defeated
because ono county with a less powerful ono
hitched to It sees lit to nominate the repre
sentative ) term after lerm and thus drive
the lesser county to desperation. The In-
jUBtlca ofthe present system Is Illustrated
In the claim that Senator Funk represents a
dlrtrlct In the northwestern part of the
state containing five counties and about 55-
000 population , while DCS Molnes county has
ouo senator and two representatives with a
population of 37,000 , Whatever may lip the
merits , ind demerits of the measure , It Is
certain that 'Mr. ' Wholun has the backing of
his constituents , It will bo remembered ;
that ho had no opposition at tbo last elec I
tion , having received the nomination by ac !
clamation In the three counties which com
pose IIB ! district , It la an unusual thing In
these days of political competition for three
counties to thus center upon , one man for
rcpresertallve.

Senalor G. M , Titus of Muscatlno has
token up the question of tho. biennial elec
tion and has Introduced a joint resolution
to amend ; Ihe constitution so lhat all state
olllccrs and the legislature * uhall bo elected
In the even-uumbered years , when the con
gressmen are elected. The flrst eleven un
der this plan , says the Des Molnca corre
spondent of the Marehalllown Tlmes-Re'pub-
llcau , would occur lu 1902 , when the mem
bers of Iho Ic-glfilaturo ito elect the successor
lo Senalor Allison ould be cleclcd. The
terms of all officers whose successors would
otherwise ! have been chosen at the gen
eral i-lnctlon In the year 1901 arc by the
proposed amendment extended one year. At
the tegular session of the legislature In the
year 1902 such changes In the laws govern
ing all state bfuccrs , ns well as all elective
and appointive slalo , county and township
ofllccrs , as may bo necessary , are to be
made. The legislature Is to meet In 1903
and biennially thereafler. The terms of
senators whose successors would otherwise
bo chosen In Iho year 1903 , arc cxlended ono
year. This amendment Is a popular .one
and has met with general approval and had
It not been Introduced by Senator Titus
there Is no doubt some other mnn would
have Introduced It , because there Is a gen
eral demand for biennial elections and no
good reason has been advanced why the
annual disturbance should bo continued.
Only eleven of the forty-six states now have
annual elections. The matter will bo
pushed by Senator Titus and by others nnd
something of the sort Is very likely to bo
ndoptcd. Ho has given the matter sonic
thought because ho Is deeply Interested
In It.

It Is expected Senator Harrlman will In
a few days present a bill to establish an
agricultural bureau and add another state
ofllcer to the number of elective adminis
trators of the state , says the Dos Molnes
Leader. The promoters of the measure Bay
that the department Is entitled to the dig
nity of having Its head an elective ofllcer ;
certainly as much as Ihe railroad commis
sioners are lo bo elected by the people.
There will ho some fight against making anymore
moro elective offices , but this Is one pottit
on which the farmers and tholr representa
tives In the legislature will stick.
They want the new department to repre
sent a consolidation of Iho Agricultural so
ciety , with supervision over the county and
district fairs as well as the State fair ; the
departments now headed by the dairy com
missioner , the stale veterinary , the weather
crop service , the Hortlcullural society , the
fanners' Institutes to which the. state
makes a regular appropriation and , In fact ,
every department that directly concerns ag
ricultural matters. Such a department , It
Is urged , would be a dignified and , Indeed ,
ought to soon establish Itself as otic of the
most Important In the oullrc state govern
ment. And then , too the agriculturists al
ways mention this Inoldcntally and under
Ibclr breath It would put an everlasting
quietus on Mr. Attorney General Reniloy nud
his disturbing notions about the agricultural
offices In the capltol. Mr. Remlcy has
wanted those ofllces for lo , these sundry
years. The agriculturist don't propose to
glvo them up and the legislature will have
to settle It. The chances are that the agrl-
cullural element will win ; the Impression
Is that It controls the house , even If Mr.
Remlcy , as Is suspected , holds the upper
hand In the senate.

Some ludicrous incidents have resulted
from the stringent rules adapted at the last
session In respect to the drawing of sup-
'pllea , and even the meat ardent eupportera of
the measure to proviJe for it-trc-irhir.ccit , In
that line have occasionally during the few-
days of the present aess'.on ' been driven
by dire neceEslty to do laughable things.
For instance , euys the DCS Molnes corre
spondent of the nurllngton Ilawkeyo , Sen
ator Bell was seen writing with a wooden
pen and penholder , both of which he whltled
out of u piece of wood. He had repeatedly
rcado the request for writing material , and
as It did not materialize , he asked Captal >
Beall to get him a block of wooj. This wrc
done and the senator went to work with
his jackknlfe. It was eoon noticed that ho
was no novice In the art of wood carving
fcr the block of wood rapidly assumed the
fchapo of a penholder. A few more clashes
and the pen po'nt was added , after which
Mr. Bell borrowed a bottle ot Ink and pro
ceeded with his correspondence Just as
though such a thing as a steel pen had not
yet been Invented.

The bill by Representative Prentls , pro
viding that the under physician at the Hospi
tal for the Insane at Cherokee when ap
pointed shall bo a graduate of the homeo-
( Mthlc school , eays the Des Mclnes Genital ,
has already aroused the advocates of the old
school doctriue. As Ifi natural to suppose ,
the members of the homeopathic faith are
giving It full support. The author claims
that the bill Is simply n matter of Justice
as between the two recognized schools of
medicine. Should the bill pats , the homeo-
palhs would have but one representative In
the four hospitals for the Insane , while the
other school would have three. It Ifi said
that Now York and Minnesota 5iave < found
the plan ot thus dividing honors to be a
good one. This some bill passed the house at
the last session and was defeated In the
senate through the absence of three senators
known to bo favorable to It.

CHEnOKEE , la. , Jan. 23. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The fight hero between the Temper-
nucc league and the Business Men's associa
tion over the saloon question has reached
an alarming state. On top of ordering all
of the arc lights put out on account of an
empty city treasury the council Is con
templating shutting off the water , or that
portion ot It which Is paid for by the city ,
which Includes public watering troughs and
street fountains.
The petitioners have until Thursday to
secure the SO per cent of the voters of the
town or 65 per cent of the county to sign
their petition , nnd each hour the fight
grows warmer. Untikcrs , merchants , coun-
cllmcil , county officials and every man of
Influence who can bo persuaded to get out
Is working hard to secure the sufllclent
amount of names on the mulct petition.
On the other hand , the Temperance league
Is holding meetings day and night and all
sorts of temperance literature is being scat
tered broadcast over the town. Colonel
I3aln of Kentucky will deliver a temperance
lecture at the Haptlst church Monday night
under the auspices of the league , and n lec
turer ot note has been secured for each
day and night until the petition tlmo ex
pires.
llltterncss exists to so great an extent be
tween the two factions that brother Is ar
rayed against brother , neighbor against
neighbor , and , worst of all , church denom
inations arc divided to such an extent on
the question that It will take years to restore -
store harmony.
Business men are almost unanimous for
the saloon , In case It can be run according
to law , and are out In a body working.
Bankruptcy of the local telephone company
Is threatened. It. L , Uoble , the company's
manager , Is a leader In the movements
against the saloons and as a result the
business men arc talking of ordering their
'phones taken out. A meeting is called for
the flrst of the week , when definite action
will be taken In the matter.
The city petition now contains about 71
per cent of the voters , and an extra effort
will bo put forth from now on to secure the
remaining C per cent , so the saloons can
bo run In Cherokee independent of the
county.
Pastors of the different churches made the
present state of affairs the topic for discus
sion today and all were favored with ]
crowded houses. Never In the history of ]
Cherokee has such a stato.of . affairs ex-1
Isted.

committee of the senate had an extended con

finally decided that to recommend such a

Itself as a reform measure. If created. It
ought to bo a board of control to da the
work now performed by trustees and not an

St'JAH UIHMVKlItS 'AMI HAU'AII.
ri-cslilcnt Alien WrltcN on the Subject
of Aiincvnlloii ,
AMES , Neb. . Jan. 22. To the Editor of
The Hco : As president of the Nebraska West
Sugar association and the American Sugar
Growers' society , I wish to refute some ot
the statements that have been made Indis
criminately by those Interested In the anuex-
a ( Ion of the Hawaiian Islands :
The American Sugar Growers' society was
organized for the purpose of combining all
the forces favoring the retention of an Ameri
can market for American sugar , believing
that cu this depended , In a largo measure ,
the success of agriculture bot'.i north and
south. Its olllcera servo entirely without
remuneration and have done an Immense
amount of hard work In endeavoring to In
terest agricultural -communities all over the
country In domestic sugar production , In
the direction ot making experiments , In
beet growing to determine the value of the
different localities ftir this purpose and to
familiarize the pecplo with methods of In-
tenslvo farming ; and above all , urging upon
everyone the liroortanco of a wide system
of reading acid study , not only as to ques
tions of culture , hut also on the economic
and political aspects of the proposed indus
try. At Its annual meeting at Hastings ,
February 2 , 1S97 , the Nebraska licet Sugar
association passed resolutions allying Itself
) with the national association as a Riibordl-
| nale society ; the United Can a Growers' anso-
| elation ot t'.ie south has also allied Itself
' with the national organization and today the
beet growers of the north and west arc
standing shoulder and shoulder with tholr
allies In the . " < outh , the cane growers , In n
protest long and loud against giving a few
millionaires In the Sandwich Islands the ex
clusive right to the markct.3 of this country
j for their sugar , grown by cheap coolie labor
and brought to this country duty free and
said In competition with eugar produced by
I our American farmer , who cannot live ns
I cheaply as balf-olvlllzcd laborers In a trcpl-
1 cal country End must needs get moro than n
I few cccits per day ns a remuneration for
his labor. The American Sugar Growers' so
ciety has local branches organized In about
! halt the states In the union and It our law
makers can be Induced to legislate In favor
of the great mass of the farmers of the north ,
south and west , our organization will soon
grow to largo proportions and be productive
of much. good.
It Is not true that beet growers of the
north would like to exclude the cano sugar
of the south from our markets. We realize
that wo have a common cause In lighting
monopoly of every form , and just HOW it Is
the gigantic monopoly of foreign competi
tion while wo are still In our Infancy as
sugar producers and have so many difficul
ties to overcome.
The American Sugar Growers' society , the
United Cano Growers' association and the
Nebraska llect Sugar association nro a unit
on this question and earnestly urge upon ,
congress to glvo us Immediate relief from
a competition that will retard our progress
and compel us to work long years to accom
plish' what wo ought to do in as many
months' .
In the course of this controversy I have
hoard from a number of citizens of Ne
braska who are In favor ot Hawaiian an
nexation , but In no case has any such per
son in favor of annexation been a farmer
himself , or nearly connected with tannins :
In such a way that he feels that his welfare
Is closely dependent upon It. All citizens
of Nebraska who cherish hopes of the good
Influence of beet culture In their respective
localities feel with unerring Instinct that
Hawaiian annexation will nt some time exert
a harmful Influence on their welfare. It Is
absurd to state the contrary , for we feel
It to bo so just as wo know that In any
other commodity a powerful source of supply
must add to the volume of such commodity
and tend to reduce Us prices.
On broad national grounds anncxatloolsls
have been worsted In argument at every
point , and the greatest thinkers and purest
men of the Aaglo-Gaxou race disapprove of
It and urge us to leave It alone. What
possible Inducement can there be for citi
zens of this country especially of the mld-
Intcrlor to consent to an act of folly which
no ono attempts to urge us to commit ex
cept on the ridiculous ground that wo shall
need It In the extremely vogue probability
of naval attack on our Pacific coast ? If
any are to do this foolish thing let others
beslde's Ncbraskans bo responsible for It ,
for It will not bo pleasant to reproach our
selves In the future for giving aid to a
movement that must be Injurious to our
agricultural Interests and which means leas
of revenue and loss of property to every
fanner in the state. Yours truly ,
R. M. ALLEN ,
President American Sugar Growers' so
ciety.
