IN THE COURTS, Civil and Criminal Cases R iving the At- tention of Judges and Juries, The judges of the district court were in their respective rooms yesterday,d where they dovoted many hours to listening to the woesof people whe had hired lawyers, and engaged in the oceupation of going to law. Judge Scott spent the day in listening to evidence in the Ryan & Walsh case,in which a score or more of croditors are Lrying to es tablish the priority of the many lie aud against the $37,000 judgment that b & Walsh hold against Douglas county. Beforo Judge Doane and a jury, Charlos Schurtoro was trying to prove that ho was entitlad to §5,000 of tho goods and chat- tels of Toter Miloher. Both of the men rosido at uth Omaha and on August 2, 1800, they engaged in a fist fight. Schartoro got the worst of the engago- ment, and now thinks Le should have a wmonoey judgment. The caso of the state agamst Frank Kitchel was called incriminal court before Judge Davis and continued in ovder to enablo the defendant to securc depositions of wit nesses who reside in Now Jorsey, The crime with which Kitchel is charged, and to which he pleaded not guilty, is this:' Last Novem ber he was a boarder at the Casey hotel. On the_eleventh day of taat month ho roported to Oliver C. Campbeil, tho proprietor, that he was short of funds and was about to draw a draft on a rich relative who always staked bim. Drafts to the amount of $I,300 were drawn through the Omaha National bank sud endorsed by Campbell, who subse- quently had to pay the amount, as the rich relative refused to recoguize the order te pay. In the case of tho state against John Tully, 8 poor farm employe, charged and found euilty of veing the father of Christina Han- sen’s child, Judge Davis ordorea that Tuily should contribute each month the sum of $10 Llothe support of theinfant. That there might be no foolishuess a bond in tho sum of £1,000 was demanded from Tully. Tho nt- torney for tho defondant moved for a new trial, claiming that the evidenco did not jus- tify tho verdict of guilty. Tho motion was overruled and the defendant remanded to jail until the bond is furnishod. Viola Meyers has brought an action for di I’(J"CL\, and in _her petition she alleges that ier husband, Nuthan Meyers, to whom she was wedded on Decomber 11,1837, is & com- mon drunkard. Not only this, but'she avers that he has abandoned her and now resides In the wilds of Utah. A judgment was returned in Judge Key- BOr's court today in the cmse of Beruard Baron & Co, agaiust the First National bank of Omaha. The suit grew out of the failuro of G. H. Mack & Co., cigar dealers, which oceurred February 2,180, At that time the bank took possession of the stock of goods of Mack & (o, alleging that monoy had beon advanced. Baron & Co. brought suit for damages and recovered a judgment of 5 cents, Houry Fordyke und Charles Blair are on trial in the crimival court today charged with the erime of burglary. 'I'he informa- tiou in the case states that on January 8 they entored the warehouse of Platt & Co. and carried away $10 worth of personal property. Charles C pottswood hus brought a suit in the district courv whereby he hopes to recover suflicient money to répair an injured roputation and some laccrated feclings, In his petition he avers, in a purple type- written text, that' on January he was sued n justice court by Frank J. Remge, who sccured a juugment for §75.45 and costs. Then ho avers that on January 30, during the carly morning, Dan Daily, without any authority other than that dictated by Ramge, searched his private uparuments at tho ’axton hotel for the pur- pose of finding property with which to satisfy the judgment. A sbort time after the search Spottswood avers that ho walked iuto the hotel rotunda, valise in hand, when he was assuultod and beaten by Dailoy who took the satchel from piaintiit wnd with Lloyd Jones proceeded to examine Its contents, which consisted of private va ers and lotters from friends and relatives, tamge, e charges, had full knowledge of the nssault and was the ohief conspirator. On account of all of this, Mr. Spottswood would Ave the threo men pay him tho neat little sum of §10,000, coin of "the realm.

When all delinguents had arrived all arose, With uphifted hands the old gray. baired magistrate returned thanks for the sife arrival of the voyagers. Standing upon Plymouth rock, he towers above the seventy- folr men and twenty-eight women and cbil dren wembers of that band.

He knelt before Governor Carver aud the ijttie family group with outstretched hands. Women fainted, children cried, men with stout hearts drew their swords to slay this curiously painted human being.

ENCOURAGING SUGAR BEET CULTIVATION Tempting red sive Inducements O Progres- by the Factories— Ciixo, Cal., Fob. To the Bditor of Tik Bre: 1have been much interested in readiug the articles that have been sent me here from Norfolk, appearing in the Omaba papers, relative to the increased interest manifested in the beet sugar industry and the probability of an extension of the sawme in Nebraska, and the erectivn of a factory at or mnear Omuha, believing as 1 do that it will more rapidly deveiop our state and benefit our farmers, than any other industry that could be brought there, meaning as it does, an increased emigration, a more ready market for our real estates, higher grade of farming and a market at our own door for the produets of our farms, independent of speculative influeaces, for as the crop is con- tracted for at a speciied price before it is planted. The only risk attending 1t is that of the season, and I know of no product of the farmers affording less risk than the sugar beet. It being universally admitted to have fewor euemies and withstand drouth or con tinued wet soasons, better than our other crops. Itis alsoan acknowleaged fact that where produced on proper soil by intelligent farmers voder favorable conditions, it will pay the producer very much more than he can realize from other crops, leaving his farm in a most excellent condition, to say nothing of the fact thaf iv is less wearing ou the soil. The price paid in Nebraska under the con- tract that we ave now offering, takine every- thing mto consideration, is hizher than any- where else in the world, In Utah the price of granulated sugar s bije, plus 1 cent paid by the territo and 2 cents from the United States govern- ment; or, in other words, the manufacturer receives about § cents per pound for his sugar as against 415 cents plus 2 cents from the United States government or 6' cents in Nobraska, ana 7%; cents being the price of granulated sugar in_California, while the price paid for beets in Nebraska under our vresent contract, will probably average bigher than that of either Utah or California. In France and Germany the difference is, if anything, still greater, for before a plow’ is put into the ground, $i0 per acre has to bo expended for fertilizers, and it costs §5 to $10 for plowing, owing to the heavy clay soil, so that the farmer has &0 per acre exxpended before he puts a sced in the ground. We bave offered for the coming year two distinet and soparate coutracts, the option of which to be exercised by the farmers at the time of making same, offering at the same t 0 the producer {he priviloge of having his beets analyzed by any competent chew- 15t wko shall have free access to our labora- tory and use of our polariscope. Contract No. 1 gives to the producer & per ton straight for any and all beets cen- taining not less than 12 per cent saccahrine matter with purity co-eflicient of 0. The other, a scale contract, which is an incentive to the farmer to give his crop the very best of care, and under a favorabie s son he ought to got a very rich beot pro vided he plants ou zood soil.

With the improved machinery for the cul- tivation of the sugar beet, together with the experience thus far attained, the profits from beet culture during the year seem to me to depend solely upon the coming season. Carrying out the suggestion made in an article appearing in your paper of January 40, it would be a very sensibla thing for farmers throughout the entire state of Ne. braska, to put in spuall patches of boots as an experiment and our company will very cheer. fully send to any aphlying for same, priuted instructions as how to grow the crop, character of soil to be selocted, together with list of the most improved implements adapted to beet culture now in tho market, and where said beots are raised in car load lots (providing satisfactory railroad rates can be obtained and the béet came up to 1214 per cent saccabrine matter with purity co-efticient of 80) we would contract to take them ut either Norfolk or Graua Island. On my return to Norfolk last of next week, 1 will see that such instructions are put iuto print ready to send to any applicant, and it will afford me much pleasura to do anything that will aid or further this industry in our state. Four thousand acres of sugar peets are be- ing planted bere now, aud some of them al reaay up. In a few instances fifty tons to the acre were produced last year, Of course this was exceptional, but it clearly demon strates the possibilities as to yield. At Norfolk last year we had some farmers who sent us in as high is twenty-seven tons to tha acre, and I believe Grand Island had a similar _expe Considering it was a very unfavorable yonr, the spring being late with au exceptionally cold summer, the re- sults were very gratifying where beets were planted in good soil and properly attended to, Give us one good soason and it is my beli that beet culture will ho one of the most profitable, as well as the most popular crops, grown in Nebrasku, and us a natural result, beet sugar factories will follow.

G HaMILTON, rfolic Boet Sugar Co. 5, 1802 Secretar; o G e Sugar e Industry When the sugar bounty clause in the Me- Kivley tariff law was proposed the demo- crats declared it was a great fraud and had no lasting paraliel. They furthermore saia it would have the effect of wiping out the German bounty, Time bas again disproved the prediction of the democrats, Nebraska's bect sugar development has attracted the at- tention of the Government and instead of abolishing its bounty it has increased it, as tho following, from United States Consul Warner, at Cologne, shows : A new imperiul law rogarding the taxation of sugar was issued last May, which will go into effect on August 1, 159: The new law does away with the so called waterial or weight tax on the raw veets and aises the consumption tax from 12 marks cents| to 18 marks per 100 kllograms, net, of prepared sugar. ‘Thie import auty on hard and “Huid” sugar of all classes is plagsd at warks per 100 kilograms, Foreign sugar imported uncer ofticial control for further mauufacture by the sugar factories will pay only the cousumption tax of 18 marks per 100 Kilograms, .

The con sumption tax is paid on the prepared sugar when it leaves the factories or the govern- ment storehouses, Sugar that is exported is free from the consumption tax and tho tax on boets, the latter being roturned to the manufacturers, This ropayment of the material tax tothe manufacturers may be called & bounty or export premium, 1f the rebate on export sugar corresponded exactly to tho amount of the material tax on the bocts, all the sugar exported would simply bo free from any tax. But the proportion of the welght of the boats to that of the weight of tho sugar fixed by tho government for the bounty on export sigar does not in reality correspond, it having boen reckoned that it took 10.62 doubla centners (ono doubls cent- ner equal 100 kilograms) of beets to produce ono double centner of sugar. The material tax on 1062 double centners of beets 1s 850 marks. Accordin the 8.50 marks aro roturned to the manu turer, on the ground that_he had paid marks material tax on the beets that were reckoued necessary to produce 1 double contner of sugar. Now, woll_equipped fac- tories require only 7.85 to 7.95 double cent- ners of beots (which was_ the average last year), instead of 10.63 double centners, to produce 1 double contnor of sugar. For this amount of boots tha manufacturers did not pay 8,50 marks material tax, but 6.30 mark Thie manufacturers receive back, therefore, on the sugar exported not only the material tax, but an addition of 2.20 marks in cash from the government on evory doublo cent- ner of sugar oxported. This surplus paid by thestate to the manufacturers is nothing more than an export premium or bounty presonted to the manufacturers by the state. In the vear 158060 the stato received nom- inally $18,714,255 material tux on 8,822,035 tous of beets worked and paid back on sugar exported $14,741,606, so that, aftor deducting $747,620 for' the cost of administration, remained for tho state only 000 from the total amount of the taxes ' collected on beets. Howover, 1f we take the total amount of raw sugar oxported during the year 1880-00, which was 403,531 EBRUARY 19 [ AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Need of the Viaduct Over the Tracks on N Street Set Forth, THE QUARANTINE EXTENDING LINES crnor Boyd Decldes That th Territory in Texas May Be Made Smaller Use the Union Pacific Tracks Unsettled, roseribed The question of a viaduct across the Union | Pacific tracks at N street has been brought | up sevoral times and agitated with somo en | ergy for a while, only to be dropped as adead {ssuo. Influences are now at work which promise to produce somo decisive action in tho matter this spring. That a viaduct at that point 18 necessary to the public safety is conceded, and with the exception of a few business firms on lower N sireot public son- timent is docidedly in favor of it. _All trafio between the stockyards and Hammond's packing house and the city is compelled to pass over this crossing. A continual stream of pedestrians and vehicles is passing over a notwork of tracks over which striugs of freight cars are being switched. That some ono is not killed every duy is a source of wonder to any one who takes pains to watch the crowds of peoplo that pour over tho crossing at cortan hours of the d Two nearly fatal accidents huve occurred thero this week and some of the lnrgest prop crty owners in the city have decided that a determined effort shail be made to obtain a viaduct. Manager Babeock of the stock yards is also emphatically in favor of a via- duct. Action has been delayed because the stock yards expected that the city would eventually taka the matter up ana thus save the stock yards some expenditure, while the city oficidls procrastinated having similar oxpoctations in regard to the stock yards. It was stated last night upon roliablo authority that the stock yards company intended to closo the crossing in the interosts of public safety bofore long. This would leaveno passago nearer than () street and would be a serious inconvenionce to all persons who havo business across the tracks. That a viaduct would b considerablo exponse to either tho city or the stock yards is disputed by some who are in favor of the project. The Union Pacific company,accord ing to section 115 of chapter 15 of the general laws of 1880 is accountable forthe cost of con- struction and repairs on the viaduct and 800 feet of upvroaches. 1t 1s claimed that the length of tho necessary approacies would not oxceed this figuro by any great distunce and the city’s proportion of ihe expense would bo comparatively slight. Competent enginecrs have stated thata suitable viaduct can be nstructed at a total cost of not more than tons, and multiply it by 2.20 marks, which the government had to pay in addition to the rebate on this amount of sugar, we find that the manufacturers were made a present by the government in the shape of an export premium of a trifle over $2.500,000 on this amount of raw sugar exported. 1 am informed by a large manufacturer that there 1s no special book required to be kept, but that the books kept by the factories are at the disposal of the tax ofticials, ———— Our Better Halves Say they could nov keep house without Cham verlain’s Cough Remedy, especially for the childron.

Skinner of the Union Stock Yards returned from Lin coln yesterday morning, where he held a conference with Governor Boyd in rogard the quaran tine on 'Toxas cattle, The Texas cat tlo raisors have contended that the present quarantine line included a considerablo tor ritory where a caso of Texas fever was never known. The matter was brought to the at tention of Secretary of Agriculture Rusk, who promised to extend the qua antine line 1f the consent ot all states inter- csted should be obtained. This was nc- complished excent iu the case of Nebraska. At recent mectings of Texas cattle owners held in Panbandlo and Colorado, Tex., Mr. Skinner was avthorizod_to present the mat ter to the governor of Nebraska aud obtain his consent to the proposed measure. Tho facts wero presented to the governor by Mr. Skinuer yesterday, apd the former dictated a letter to Secretary Rusk aporoving the extension of the quaran tine line as vecommended. This will un- doubtedly result in the removal of a part of the quarantine restrictions but will not add 10 the danger of infection. The stockyards company and packers are intercsted in the measure, as it will give access to an addi tional stock raising area in Texas embracing thirty counties in the northern and western parts of the state, from which it is expected South Omaha will handie most of the ship- ments. to Not Yet S Manager Babeock and Engineer King of the Union Stockyards company were in Omaha yesterduy in consultation with Vico President Clark of the Union Pacific railroad aga others relative to the crossing of tho B & M. and Missouri Pacific railroads upon the Union Pacific tracks. Under this arrange- ment both roads will run through this city on the Union Pacific from Gilmore and connect with their own tracks north of the L street viaduet. This arrangement would greatly exvedito the handling of stock at the vards. As itis the transfer of a train of stock from the B, & M. to the stockyards tracks blocks the tracks for upwards of half an hour. Under the pro- posed arrangement nine trains could be handled at onco. It was expected that the whole matter would bo satisfactorily scttled yesterday, but an unexpected hitch mads it necessary to postpone decisive actiou to a fu- turo date.
