LINCOLN , Juno G. ( Special. ) As pro-
dieted several days ago Governor Poyntcr
has decided to cancel the appointment of W.
C. Cnvcn of Crawford ns n member of the
Stnto Brand and Mark commission , and It
was announced at the governor's office this
morning that another man would bo selected
Immediately for that place. This action on
the part of the chief executive WHS In re
sponse to thn demands of the popullBts of
northwestern Nebraska , who telegraphed to
Lincoln to withhold the commission immed
iately after the appointment wns announced.
The significance of this telegram , coming
Irom prominent nnd Influential populists of
the counties of Dawcs , Sioux and Scotts
Bluff , was recognized by Governor Poyntcr ,
especially after he had consulted with n rep
resentative of the party from that portion
of the state. While the decision of the gov
ernor is especially pleasing to members ot
the populist party , It Is not relished by the
democrats , who feel that Mr. Cavtn has been
made the victim of the situation. The reason
for the governor's refusal to commlssloi
Caven after ho was appointed Is that ho Is
not a cattleman.
More Troulilo In SItht.
From every point of view the nppolntmen
question Is acting ns n scourge to thn I'oyn-
ter administration nnd the-governor Is will
ing to admit that In the attempt to satisfy
nil the bosses ho Is having a dreadful time
The next fuss scheduled Is over the Insur-
nnro commlssloncrshlp. H Is said now tha
the fight has narrowed down between Henry
Bo > dston , W. r. Bryant and Lyman , the
latter a silver republican. Boydston's claims
are pushed by the > democrats nnd he has thi
< ( advantage of having served with Poyntc
on the Exposition board , a condition that ha
Ted to the deliverance of good things to many
of those who served with Pojntcr last year
Bcydston , however. Is on record as being
cpposod to fusion In Otoo county and ha
boon responsible for the disorganization an
defeat of the fusion forces In the Ncbraskr
City elections , so the mention ot his nam
finds no favor among the populist statesmen
Bryant Is a visionary populist and was at
torney for Cornell In the recent Invcstlga
tlon. It Is said that If ho Is appointed It vvll
bo an evidence of submission on the part o
Poynter to the Cornell crowd nnd will mar
the second advent Into power of the Palm
"hold-up" clement.
t
In the meantime the expectation Is t
utilize Deputy Cverlngham , the man who I
holding the plnco vacated by Lichty , as n
Instructor of the now man when the ap
polntmcnt Is made. Everlngham is hlmsel
a candidate and it is whispered that In cas
of his failure to get the place ho will re
fuse to take the temporary Job of breaking In
a green man and will forthwith quit the
state house for a good Job on the outside.
In ( the event of the refusal of either Everlng
ham or Lichty to take charge of the Insur
ance nursery , the department Is sure to start
out In1 a crippled condition and the prospect
Is anything but cheerful.

Governor Poynter this afternoon signed a
decree removing Dr. Charles G. SpYaguo from
the office of superintendent of the Institu
tion for Feeble Minded Youths nt Beatrice.
Before the hearing last week Governor Poym-
ter'announced that this action would betaken
taken and that B. F. Long of York would
bo appointed to flll the place. The follow
ing Totter was addressed to Dr. Sprague by
Governor Poyntcr this afternoon :
EXECUTIVE OFFICE , LINCOLN , June
5 Dr. Charles O. Sprague , Institution for
Feeble Minded Youths , Beatrice , Neb. Dear
Sir : I beg hereby to Inform you of the
conclusions rwached by me In the matter of
the Investigation of the management of the
Institution for Feeble Minded Youths at
Beatrice. Neb. , during the period of your
incumbency ns superintendent.
1. From the Investigation made by mo I
find that during the management of the
Institution for Feeble Minded Youths by
\ you the care nnd management of the patients
under your charge has not been conducted in
a manner that has promoted the best inter
ests of the Institution.
2. I further 'find that there hns been a
want ot proper discipline exercised by you
over the employes undoi your control , which
has resulted In an injury to the piopor
management of the institution nnd for the
causes above mentioned , after a careful ex
amination of the testimony offered by the
complainants and also by jourself nt the
hearing before mo on the second day of
June , 1899 , It Is hereby ordered that vou bo
and are hereby removed as superintendent
of said Institution and jou nre hereby rc-
riovod of any further authority or duty as
luch superintendent Vcty truly yours ,

TO BE DEPENDED ON
Because it Is the Experience of nn
Omaha Citl/.en and Can Easily
He Investigated.
A stranger lost in a largo city would place ,
far moro dependence on the directions given
him by n local resident than the guidance
of another stronger like himself. This Is a
natural consequence of experience ; it Is like
n ship In a strange port a trusty pilot fa
miliar with the harbor is always called upon
to bring her afely to her moorings. So It
is with endorsement : wo doubt the sayings
of people living at distant points because
we can't Investigate , but public expressions
of local cltltens can bo depended on , for 'tis
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence like
the following Is be > end dispute !
Mr. Win. Sage , bricklayer of No. 4211 Rur-
dctto etreet , says : "Always after a hard

Remember the name. IJoau's , and take no
n thn clans play tomorrow morning nt
10 Oliver theater will remain under guard
ntll the time for the play to commence.
'ho rivalry between the seniors nnd the Ju-
lor grows moro Intense every year nnd It
s rtimorcd on the university campus this
ftcrnoon that nn nttehipt would be mndo
y the under clnssmon to kidnap the seniors
nd prevent them from giving tholr piny
omorrow. This has been tried by several
tmlor classes In former years , but the
enlors nre uiually prepared for such nn
mcrgcncy nnd for several days before the
lay they nro very careful not to expose
hcmsclvcs to the Jealous Juniors.
The seniors have been rehearsing for the
> lay for the last several weeks nnd It Is
umored that a forecast of nil of the clnss
> unswill bo printed nnd distributed tomor-
ow morning by the Juniors. Last year n
member of the Junior class was ( smuggled
nto the Oliver theater the night before
ho Inst drctn rehearsal and * ls presence
was not discovered until the rehearsal was
finished. The man had secured n position
n the upper portion of the stngc nnd while
ho play was In progress he noted all the
ekes and other Important points of the
performance. All the entrances to the
julldlng had been guarded during the day
nnd night , but the nmbitlous Junior had at-
ended the baccalaureate sermon the night
jeforo with enough provisions In his pockets
: o last for two days.
The most difficult part of the Juniors plan
to outwit the seniors wai to force nn exit
for tholr emissary after the rehearsal. The
doors and windows were kept guarded nnd
for nwhllo It looked as though the plan
would fall. The Junior finally unwound a
reel of fire hose and descended down this
on the outsldo of the building from the
fourth floor. Ho made his way to the near
est printing office and his notes were soon
reduced to printing. The circulation of the
forecast before the play caused considerable
excitement nnd surprise , but the seniors ac
cepted defeat with good grace. The man
who-succeeded In securing the story of the
play It now a senior and the especial mark
of the Juniors.
After the reception nt Chancellor Mac-
Lean's homo on H street this evening nil
rcnlors who nre billed to nppenr tomorrow
were escorted to their homes by members
ot the class. The demand for tickets to the
play far exceeds the supply.
The faculty ot the college of law met In
the chancellor's office this morning for the
recommendation of degrees. The faculty of
the college of literature , science nnd art and
the industrial college met foi the same pur
pose this afternoon.
Tomorrow , Juno 6 , will bo class day nt
the university. The class play will absorb
all interest In the morning nnd In the even
ing the university chorus , soloists and or
chestra will render "Tho Crusaders , " by
Nlc'ls Gado. The Board of Regents will
moot In the afternoon.

The police authorities of this city nre nt
work upon n most mjstorlcus nnd sensa

nro indeed remote. Early yesterday mornIng -
Ing a 4-months'-old boy was found crying
on tbo sidewalk In front of the residence
of Mr. A. A. Lasch at 1801 Sewell street.
The baby was dressed In garments of the
finest make with many costly lace trim
mings. A diligent search failed to reveal
any trace of the little child's parents and
the police were notified of the discovery of
ho foundling. The child Is being cared for
by Mr. and Mrs. Lasch while the police au
thorities are carrying on a thorough inves
tigation.

The work of putting In the foundation of
the Standard Boot Sugar factory at Ames
was completed Monday and as the steel
plates and beams for the building itself
nro already on the track at the grounds
the building wlfl Eoon begin to loom up ,
the largest sugar factory In Nebraska.
The new factory , which will have double
the capacity of either the Grand Island or
Norfolk factories , Is situated two miles north
and halt a mlle west of Amos , west of the
place known as the Mills farm. The ob
ject In locating it there Instead of In town
was to have it as centrally located for the
farmers as possible , thus saving the time
nnd expense ot the company and farmers
Iti hauling beets over a road sometimes
not In the best condition. Ground was
broken for the building as soon as the
weather would permit , which was the first
week In April. The Union Pacific railroad
built a side-track from the east end of the
Ames yards , a mile anil a half north , then
northwesterly along the side of the cutoff
ditch n mlle and a halt to the factory , and
put In so\cral switch tracks at the site.
The Elkhorn extended Its line from the
Union Pacific crossing , a niire east of Ames ,
to Ames , connecting with the Union Pa-
ciflc switch. All the material and machin
ery can thus bo laid down directly at the
site , thus saving considerable expense la
hauling.
The main building Is 300x100 feet. The
foundation consists of piles driven Into the
ground twonty-flvo feet , tnon cut oft eight
feet below the surface , making a platform
about ten feet square. Between 1,800 and
2,000 piles were used for the foundation of
this and other buildings , the platforms of
piles being about ten feet apart. On them
was placed a pillar of steel , welded to
gether with concrete eight feet In height.
The buildings , except a few of the smaller
ones , will bo entirely fireproof , no wood
being used In their construction , the floors
being of concrete and the framework of
steel and the walls of brick.
The plan of construction Is the same as
that of the "skyscrapers , " the framework
of steel plates and girders being first put
up , then the walls , no weight whatc\er
resting on the latter. The framework of
this massive butrdlng will require 2,500,000
pounds of steel and It will take over 2,000-
000 brick to make the enclosing walls. The
Standard company lot the contract for the
construction of the buildings and the fur
nishing and the placing of the machinery
to the Oxnatd Construction company of New
Yoik. When this work Is done all connec
tion of the Oxnards with the company
ceases and the factory will bo run Independ
ently of any trust or combination.
Fine Machinery.
Superintendent King , who Is In charge
of the construction , last year had charge
of the erection of a still larger factory in
California. Ho Is thoroughly Informed on
'bent sugar machinery , having made a com
plete study of all the details connected
with the manufacture of the sugar con
tents of beete Into sugar.
"This factory , " he said yesterday to a
Bee reporter , " > wlll bo one of the best In
the country. The Grand Island factory ?
\Yell , that Is a chestnut. Our machinery
and building will bo vastly superior to it.
It is a nmnll concern , Its machinery Is out
ot date and not of the kind we use. 'U'o
get the machinery from Bohemia to Chicago
cage , from all around. Ninety per cent of
It Is made in this country. There nro
some things we can't get here now and have
to go to Bohemia ifor them. We don't go
out of the United States for what we can
get In it. There is another point of In
terest about our factory. We shall put
In the machinery before we put up the
walls of the building. The- Installing of
the machinery goes on at th same time
the framework of the building Is being put
up. We did the same thing with the Cali
fornia factory last season. I have a photo
graph ot the California factory with the
framework all up , floors In and machinery
In place and not an inch of the -walls laid.
All the walls amount to anyway Is to enclose
the building ; there Is no weight on them. "
"How will this plant compare with the
Norfolk factory' "
"Oh , that Is about like the Grand Island
concern. This will have a larger capacity
than the two combined and , besides that ,
the cost of running It will be less than the
running expenses ot either of the others.
1 am not at liberty to give the actual esti
mated cost of this plant complete. It
would surprise you when compared with
that of either of the others. Our machin
ery is all ordered. Some of It , you see. Is
here and every pound of It Is ready to bo
shipped on notice by telegraph. Wo have
the switches filled , as you see now , and
no room for anything more till "no use It. "
In addition to the main factory there will
be a beet liouso 100x400 feet , boiler house
100x120 and lime house 80x150. Trains will
be switched directly Into the bce/t house
and every facility will bo provided for
handling beets as rapidly as possible. Largo
engines -will not bo required for running
the plant. Two 600-horsc power nnd two
200-horso power engines will bo used.
"Tho boiler capacity Is something enor
mous" snld Mr. King. "It will bo 3.500-
horse power. It takes steam and water to
run a plant of this size. Wo are going to
have something out of the ordinary In the
way of a stack. It Is a self-supporting
stack , without guys , twehe feet In dlam-
oter and 153 feet high. The building
be completed nnd ready for work October 1 ,
The slowest job Is putting In thn founda-
tlon. The weather has hindered us some.
Wo have now 200 men on the piy roll
When wo commence on the steel work
Tuesday , as we exppct towo will rush
rk
will then show. In a month from now
there will bo something to see. "

Ten weeks ago the site of the plant was
n cornfield out on the open prnlrle. Al 1-
ready there are cnmigh people close by 1to
make a goodslzed Ullage. South of the
site Is a long frame dining hall , west of It
a couple of "l > unk houses , " substantial
fraiuo buildings , containing lows of single
white enameled bedsteads and looking
sonic like the Interior of the army barrncKs '
Still further west nro several goodslzed

who are working in the beets
'VVUhln a radius of two miles of the fac
tory are 4,000 acres of beets , nearly all be
longing to the cattle company. A good
stand was obtained this jcar. Most of the
fields have been plowed once and thinned
and the long , straight rows , some of them '
over a mile In length , of the light , grcen-
lea\e < l plants , standing out clearly against '
tlio dark , clean earth , arc a sight worth see.

fields reaches well up Into the hundreds
In hiring men those having children old
enough to weed boots are given the prefer
ence and live In the small red cottages , payIng -
Ing the company a small rent. Scattered
o\er the company'a property are about 175
of these cottages , A good many of thcuo
people nro of n migratory deposition. They
work n few ilajs or weeks , pcitiaps , then
lend nil their earthly belongings Into the
old white-covered wagon nnd pull out for
some new location ,
The sugar company WM fortunate In ob
taining n supply ot water for Its plant.
Near the main building are three wells with
the water flowing nearly to the surface ,
which will furnlfti them nil that Is needed ,
The drainage of the factory will be carried
off by the "Cut Off" ditch , u drainage 100
feet wldo and from eight to twelve feet deep
extending from the foot of the bluffs about
a mlle northwest of the factory about four
and a half miles In a southeasterly direction
to the ,1'lntto rl\cr. This ditch has sum-
