2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 18! [ DOUCLAS COUNTY INTERESTS Farmers of the Distriot Discuss the Subject at Valley, PROSPECTS OF GROWING SUGAR BEETS Loss of the Bounty Calenlated to Injure the Industry, but the Culture Will o Continued and Thorough- 1y Tested. (Special Telcgram opened Liere a two farmers VALLEY, Neb., Feb. 1 to The F )—-Today there days session of the Douglas institut. The meeting was called to order and its objects stated to the assembled agri- culturist by Hon. W. G. Whitmore, after which permanent organization fcr the day was effected by clecting L. L. Cowles, John W. Hall and Frank Whitmore chalrnen of the morning, afternoon and even'ng slons respectively. Charles 1 act as secretary. Frank B. Hibbard of Covington was down on the program with a paper on the “Shift- lessness of the Farmers” as the first sub- Ject for discussion He was unavoldably delayed in reaching here, however, and L. D. Stillson, secretary of the State Bee Keepers association, who was to have spoken at tomorrow's session, occupied the time al- lotted to Mr. Hibbard and delivered a very interesting and instructive talk on Bee Keeping.” Mr. Stillson spoke from his own experie e, and was attentively followed throughout his discourse. When he had concluded his remarks he answered a num- ber of questions propounded by his auditors relative to bee keeping. IN THE AFTERNOON. The meeting then adjourned for dinner. The afternoon me g was called to order by Chairman Hall, and after the cornet band had played a couple of choice selections, and the choir had sang a number or two, Prof L. Bruner of the State univi ity regaled the scl 1 children, who granted an extra recess for the purpose, with an hour's talk on the “Different Nebraska Insects,' Then followed the stellar attraction of the ay, Count Lubienski, with an address on igar Beet Culture and the Douglas County tory." Many of the agriculturists great surprise at the count’s ability in speaking the English language so fluently and were drawn here to the afternoon gion particalarly to listen to his recountal of the sugar beet industry from the stand- point of the manufacturer. Owing to the bounty being taken off of sugar, the count expressed his doubts about the Douglas county factory being built, as the ‘way the matter stands now growers would only be able to realize about $3 per ton for the beets where they formerly re- ceived $5 per ton. The Platte and Elkhorn valleys, declared the speaker, is the center of the beet growing belt of Nebraska, and sooner or later a factory will be built in the vicinity of Valley. E#EHIENUE OF A FARMER. Following the count Mr. Jewett of Platte Center told his brother farmers his perience for the past two seasons in growing beets for the Norfolk factory. Mr. Jewett deprecates the fact of the bounty being taken off of sugar, but will raise 400 acres of beets the coming season. Mr. Jewett went into the minutest details of the beet raising industry and figured the cost of rais- ing and marketing one acre of beets at $29.50. At the evening session Miss Bessio Cowles delivered a recitation that was well recelved and Mr. Stewart sang a baritone solo in his inimitable manner, after which Chairman Whitmore, inia very neat and timely - speech, introducéd to the audience Mrs. ‘A, M. Bdwards of Fremont, who read a carefully prepared” paper entifled *“Profit- able Stock on the Farm.'" She handled her subject in an able manner and spoke from a grower's standpoint. Miss Bessie Cowles fa- vored the audience with a vocal folo and Hon. §. C. Bassett, secretary of the State Dairymen's associafion, spoke on the sub- Ject of “Dmrying,* and recounted Nebraska achievements at the World's fair, when she was awarded over all competitors, together with the state of New Hampshire, a general average on their dairy produce of 95.15. WHAT STATE STATISTICS SHOW. The speaker showed by statistics that’there are in the state of Nebraska 505,000 milch cows and also that each cow averages a product of ninety pounds of butter per year. “After speaking at. some length on the question of bogus butter and the injury it is doing to the dairying interests of the state and predicting that Nebraska is destined to be one of the foremost~ states in the unfon, Mr. Bassett gave way to his col- leagues and a general discussion ensued. Prof. Clemmons of the i'remont Normal schiool was in the audience #nd nccepted an invitation to add his mite o the fewst of reason and related some highly inferesting personal experience as well 48 giving scme wholesome adyice. The meeting then adjourned and will re- convene at 10 o’clock tamorrow when a pro- gram fully as interesting as that of today will be rendered. Among the prominent Dwoaglas county farmers attending the mectings arn: _ Hon. Isaac Noyes, Adam Stringline, M. W. E. Purchase and Mr. Long of Wate®ny, Omar Whitney and Mr. Turner of Fik City and Messrs. Hollenbeck, McArdle, Millard, F. W.

Shields, formerly general agent of the Willlam Deering Tmplement company here, for back salary and other indebtednass against that firm, took an unexpected turn today. When the case was called Shields' attorney asked for a continuance,alloging ab- sence of witnesses. Judge Scarritt refused to grant it and the attorneys dismissed Shields' petition and left the court. Deering & Co, then demanded a trial on their counter claim against Shields for $35,000, represent- ing Shields' alleged shortages in his accounts while acting as the firm’s agent, thus re- versing the position of the company from de- fendant to plaintiff. Judgment was ren- dered this afternoon for $26,000 against Shields for embezazlement.

Warden of a ¥ as Mexiean [Prison Get- ting Into Hot Water, CITY OF MEXICO, Febh. 1.—High of. ficial circles are deeply concerned by charges made against Colonel Santaella, warden of the national Belem prison. The charges are sufficfent to warrant his incar- ceration in his own prisonhnt owing to a technicality he has thus fe escaped actual imprisonment, although this is still being con sidered. It is expected the hearing which will be held will disclose a surprising state of affairs in the famous castle. One of the charges brought agalnst the warden is that he allowed an inmate to be beaten to death by the other prisoners. Another charge is that, one of the civil guards employed in the prison quitting his work, Santaella sent out a squad of troops after him, and when he was arrested he was placed in confine- ment in the jail. Many other charges are made regarding the autocratic rule of the warden, and a full investigation Is to be made with the outlook anything but hopeful for the defendant. YAQUI INDIANS CAUSING TROUBLE. Guaymas, Sonorra,Feb. 1.—The com- pany of nearly fifty rebel Yaqui Indlans who recently left their strongholds in the moun- tains for the interior of the state are giv- ing more trouble. They are evilently en- route to their old raiding grounds and are very hard to follow. Two outfits of Indians re supposed to have lately left their reser- vatlon, and these will number close to 100 altogether. The Indians are being watched very closely and the troops will be pushed forward against them if any outbreak is attempted. A call has been made for the available ‘men in the state to join in a movement under the dircction of the mili- tary authorities of the first military zone to press the tribe of Yaquis into their moun- tain stronghold, and, if neccssary, extermi- nate the rebels. WEALTHY RANCHMAN MURDERED. Colima, Mex., Feb, 1.—Senor J. Jesus Cardinas, one of the wealthiest and best known ranchers of western Mexico, has been agsassinated at his home at La Naranjera. Robbery {s thought to have been the mo- tive, although it is possible the reason was revenge on the part of his enemies. Two arrsts have been made. T A e STILL IN THE HILLS. Interview with Evans and Morrel h Shows Their Whereabouts. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.—The Examiner today prints a story which, if true, puts an end to many conflicting stories of the escape of the bandits Chris Evans and Ed Morrel to Mexican territory or to Europe. Under date of January 25 the paper print a long in terview purporting to have been held with the bandits that day at Sampson’s flat. Richard Bigelow, a man well known in the San Joaquin' valley and who was once engaged in business with Evans, sends the interview. Evans also sent a_short letter to the local newspuaper men. There is little doubt that this letter was written by the bandit. The two refugees talked freely of their eXperi- ences in the mountains and foothills In the vicinity of Sampson’s flat and told of several occasions on which Sheriff Scott's men were very close upon them. The bandits claim they are being well provied for by the mners and rahchers fin that wild mountainous region. Bigelow quotes Evans as follows: “At the present we are going to stay right in the mountins and take our time and opportunity as we please in leaving for foreign parts.” R — JUSTICE WOULDN'T HOLD HIM. John Schulz Kills His Son-in-Law and Next Day Shoots Himself. BECKER, Mo., Feb. 1.—A shocking mur- der and.siicide occurred yesterday and the night before about two miles from here Henry Fries and his father-in-law, John Shulz, have theld a grudge for several years against each other over some trou- ble about land. Tuesday night the old feud was renewed, and according to Schulz, Fries dared him to shoot. Schulz took the dare and killed Fries. He then surrendered to the nearest justice of the peace, who re- fused to hold him. He then returned home, slept all night and while feedlng stock in the morning blew his brains out. Fries was about 40 years of age. He left-a widow and children.” Schulz was 66 years old and has several grown sons and daughters. — ¥ It Was Not George Gould, NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—A special from Chl- cago to the Morning Journal gives what pur-* ports to be part of the inside history of the celebrated case of Zella Nicolaus against George Gould involving a $40,000 check. The dispatch says Mrs. Nicolaus' victim was not George. It was another who gave her the much talked of check for $40,000, and it was at the point of a revolver under the most sensational circumstances that he made the presentation. It was, It is said, a badger game. The dispatch does not give the name of the giver of the check, calling him Mr. Victim. The Journal claims Henry Schloss, who was connected with Ruhman, has made a full contession — ‘Western Mile Track Circuit, MASON CI1Y, fa.

WILSON BILL PASSED [CONTINURD FROM PIRST PAGE. | amendment was then agreed to by a vote of 202 to 104, The speaker then announced that the voto was upon the amendments adopted by the committee of the whole, Mr. Johnson of Ohio demanded a separato vote on the wool and woolen goods amend- ments, Mr. English, democrat, of New Jersey asked for a separate vote upon the income tax, and upon the petroleum amendment. The other amendments, fncluding that abolishing the bounty on sugar and that placing refined sugar on the free list, were then agreed to in bulk without division. The first amendment which Mr. Johnson desired a separate vote upon was that of placing wool on the free list immediately upon the passage of the bill. This amend- ment having been vitiated by a later amend- ment placing the date at August 2, a point of order was raised that the latter amend- ment must be first voted upon, but after some discussion the chair decided that the Johngon amendment must first be voted upon to perfect the text, and the read test would come upon the amendment to strike out the words “immediately after the passage of the bill,”” and insert ‘‘on and after August 2. VOTE ON THE WOOL SCHEDULE. The amendnient was therefore agreed to by a vote of 205 to 147. Mr. Johnson tried to get the ayes and nays, but could only muster five votes to his aid, The amendment fixing the date as Decem- ber 2 when the manufactured wool schedule should go into effect was also adopted by a vote of 200 to 136, Mr. Johnson again being unable to secure the ayes and nays, The vote was then taken upon the amend- ment providing for reciprocity in petroleum and it was carried by a vote of 177 to 47. The last amendment to be voted upon was that providing for the income tax. ~ Mr. Cockran demanded the ayes and nays upon this amendment. 1t was significant that the republicans refused to second the demand for the ayes and nays, but enough democrats arose, fifty-one, to order the roll call. It was then found the income tax could not be voted upon as a separate proposition, the speaker deciding, in accord- ance with a precedent which he cited, that the internal revenue amendment having been reported as a_single amendment could not be divided. The vote,therefore, was upon the entire rejection of the internal revenue amendment. The republicans, with few exceptions, re- fused to vote, but the amendment, includ- ing the income tax, was adopted by a vote of 182 to 50. MOVED TO RECOMMIT THE BILL. Some cheering greeted the announcement of the vote. The bill was engrossed and read the third time. The last stage in the passage of the bill had been reached when Mr. Covert, democrat, of New York moved to recommit the bill to the committee with instructions “‘to report it back with such amendments as will provide for duties levied on imports for such additional rey- enue as may be nesessary to the support of the government economically administered.” Upon that motion Mr. Cockran demanded the yeas and nays, but only thirty-six democrats rose to second the demand (principally those who had voted against the income tax, together with the Louis- jana sugar men), not a sufficient number The motion to recommit was then defeated on a rising vote by 103 to 77. ON THE FINAL VOTE. Then came the final vote on the bill tself, on which an aye and nay vote was asked and granted by a rising vote. The roll call was watched with marked attention, and frequent bursts of upplause greeted accessions to one side or the othe. Beltz- hoover of Pennsylvania was the frst to win applause by his aye vote, indicating that the Pennsylvanians were falling into line. Immediately after fhis Iilanzhard of Louisiana was applauded and showed the Louisiana cpposition fo the bill was not intact. Mr. Cockran's vote in favor of the bill brought out vhenring: The climax of the demonstration was rciched when the name of Mr. \Wilson, auti>w of the bill was reached, the demderats cheeri vociferously, a final recognition of his lead- ership. The speaker asked that is rame be called, and he answered in the aflirma- tive. Then the speaker snnounced: “On this question, the ayes are 204 and the nays are 140 and the bill is passed.” DETAILS OF THE VOIE, The following Is a_detailed vata on the final passage of the bill. fipeaker Criep's vote made the ayes 204.

Also what authority ot law existed for the gold reserve and when it was established and why it is now maintained Senator Gorman objected ta, the request foran immediate consideration and 1t went over, Senator Alle WANTS INFORMATION. Senator Peffer of Kansas moved that the secretary of the treasury be directed to in- form the senate how many offers for bond purchases had been presented, giving the names and places of business of the persons, firms and corporations, and for what amounts and in what sums, respectively, the bonds have been sold. A wrangle took place over the bond reso- lution of Senator Stewart, those favoring tho resolution insisting that it had gone over yesterday with the understanding that it should come up this morning, and others maintaining that there had been no such understanding, and that the resolution hav- ing yone to the calendar must come up in its rogular order. A reading of the records sus- tained the declaration that the resolution had gone to the calendar, but it was finally permitted to be taken up by unanimous con- sont. Senator Sherman read a letter in which ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster denies that in January last he had ordered the preparation of plates for the issuing of bonds generally. He had, howey fter the 3 per cent bond bill passed the senate, caused plates to be issued for these bonds, but for none other. FOR THE NEW PRINTING OFFICE. Interrupting at this juncture, Senator Vest secured unanimous consent that the bill for the site and erection of a new gov- ernment printing office should be made a special order for next Wednesday and be considered until disposed of. Senator Stewart of Nevada then took the floor ov the bond resolutio: The principal speeches of the day were made by Senators Stewart and Allison, both of whom contended that the secretary of the treasury had no power to issuc bonds for other purposes than redemption, and that 1t would be a violation of law for the secretary 1o use the money thus aceruing for the purpose of meeting expenditures. Senator Dubois of Idaho said he could not vote for Stewart’s resolution, because it de- nied the power of the secretary to issue bonds for any purpose, Senator Call of Florida took the position that the secretary of the treasury had not the power to issue bonds for the purpose con- templated. At 5:10 the senate went into executive ses- siomwith the understanding that the resolu- tion should go over until tomorrow, and at 5:15 the senate adjourned.

The three-sided match between Ives, Schaeffer and Slosson began with Schaeffer and Slosson as the first contes ants, The match s for $1,500 and the net gate receipts, divided as follows: Fifty per cent to the winner, 30 to second and 20 per cent to the third. The anchor nurse barred. A. C. Anson acted as referee. No extraordinary high runs were made, although there was a degree Of steadiness. Schaeffer won the bank and, choosing the black ball, ran thirty-one points. In the next five innings Schaeffer missed twice on the first shot. The sixth opened with Slosson 49, Schaeffer 43. Schaeffer made the highest run of the game, 74, in the next six Innings and played brilllantly until the twelfth inning. In the six innings the Wizard piled up 356 points, his lowest run being 38. Schaeffer used the anchor nurse with great skill every time he secured it, breaking the balls 8o that he was soon able to anchor them again. Several of his splendid masses and difficult round-the-table shots brought rounds of applause. After this Schaeffer's playing fell off. Slosson, in the meantime, who had counted only 130 times, began to improve and while Schaeffer was doing almost nothing, Slosson steadily increaged his standing until the twenty-fourth inning, when the score stood, Schaeffer 523; Slosson 437. Sloson did the hest playing in the twenty-fifth inning and his friends expected him to overtake his op- ponent. He received the heartiest applause on a brilliant masse draw across the table, By beautiful position playing he brougis the balls together at the lower end of the thble, and reeled off forty-five points, missing on a simplo draw. Slosson missed his next two shots, while Schaffer scored sixteen. When Schaeffer came up in the stwenty- elghth inning the balls were im splendid position, and getting the anchor he rapidly clicked off nine points, rolled the red bail across the table and began again. Finally as he worked the balls toward the center of the table, playing with great rapidity and keeping them together with marvelous skill, the spectators realized that the game was ‘won, and proceeded to give the Wizard a lusty cheer.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.—The meeting of the Western Passenger association lines today developed nothing new in the transconti- nental situation, The representatives of the north Paciflc coast lines said if the $44.50 basing rate to the coast was raised they would be able to put in a flat rate of $50 to the coast, which would cover the differential claimed by the Canadian Pacific on its water traffic. A vote was taken, but not anmnounced, as it was the desire of Chairman Caldwell to secure the concurrence of the Southern Pacific in the proposition to oqualize the rates. The meeting will be resumerl tomorrow. The Central Traffic assoclation lines, which met today to discuss the formation of a pas- senger pool. decided to refer tho matter of the division of business to local associations in Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Louis- ville. The local assoclations will have full power to arrange the pool under the super- vision of the main association. A mecting of the Central Trafiic assoclation has been called for February 7. It will consider complaints and irregularities of various kinds in tho passenger business. The Railway Age will publish a warm at- tack on the report of the Interstate Com- merce commission.

L Morrison was the victim, and the place that has known hm for several years will know him no more. H» held a position in the sewer commissioner's department, and his re- moval was due to the submission of a communication by Major Furay, who expressed the opinion at the best interests of the public service demanded that the time and services of Morrison be dispensed with from this mo- ment, and asking the other members of the board to coincide with him in that belief. The roll was called and Furay and Balcombe voted to dismiss the Inspector, Chairman Winspear voting in the minority against it The vacancy was not filled, but will not be allowed to remain long vacant, as thero fs just as much work of that Kind going on now as at any time, and the services of an inspector are needed. Retrenchment was not the motive that prompted the action, but rather a lack of harmony between the inspector and his chief. Morrison held the place when it was run in connection with the bullding Inspector's office, and had a disagreement with Inspector Tilly, which re- sulted in an attempt to remove him,in fact the order was In his hands, but friends in the council succeeded in keeping him on the payroll,ex-Councilman McLearie making a vigorous fight in his behalf. It was then charged that the opposition was due to his democracy and the fact that he carried a belligerent transparency in the Cleveland ratification pa e, and McLearie made the point that to rule out a n L be- cause he sported a carmine plug hat and a Cleveland rooster was an unlawful interfer- ence with the God-given rights of a free- born American citizen. The action with reference to Morrison was the only business transacted at Wednes- day's meeting. —————— COLONEL STANTON PROMOTED. Becomes Assistant to the Paymaster Gen- eral of the Ar Colonel Thaddeus H. Stanton, fehtef pay- master of the department of the Platte, yesterday received news from Washington of his promotion to be assistant to the pay- master general of the army, Brigadier General William Smith, with station at Washington. The change will take effect March 1. Colonel Stanton came here May 27, 1890, hence his detail of four years will not have expired when he leaves for his new station. The position to which he has been assigned is one that has just been ereated, and while his many friends here rejoice with him in his promotion they will sincerely gret to see him leave Omaha. During his stay hereas deputy paymaster general of the army and chief paymaster of this d vartment, Colonel Stanton has had supervi- sion of the distribution of over §2,000,000 annually, personally payiug out over half thatsum. Speculation is rife around de- partment headquarters as to the probable successor of the coloncl. Another change will shortly occur at de- partment headquarters, as General G. B. Dandy. chief quartermaster ‘of the depart- ment of the Platte, will go upon the retired list of the army on the 11th of this month.

Burglars Make a Neat Haul from a Vinton Street Hardware Store. The hardware store of M. Knecht, 1702 Vinton street, was entered by burglars Wednesday night, the safe opened and $125 in money taken. Entrance was effected by placing a lad- der to the transom of the rear door and climbing through. Once inside the thieves unlocked a side door opening upon Seven- teenth street, and were thus prepared for a hasty exit in case they were discovered. The outside door of the safe was closed but not locked, and the steel door of the strong box was burst in shortorder. A drill was used and the bolt heads which held the lock were drilled off and pushed inside, then the lock fell off. In the small drawer the money was found. About $10 worth of pocket knives were also taken. A box of fine razors had been taken from the safe and placed on a box by the door through which the safe blower's left the store. The box w as found there yesterday and it is probable that in their haste to leave this box of booty was forgotten. The work of drilling off the bolt heads was skillfully done, and the police de- tectives are sure that experienced cracks- men did the job.

The defendint do- nies the right of the city to fine him. This case will ‘be of interest, as it deals with a | “ticklish® point. Dealing in intoxicants is forbidden by the state constitution.

A “disor- derly house” ordinance was passed which imposed a fine of §75 a month on violators, With somo twenty saloons running that ordinance has worked well until Heflley be- came hostiln, and now the validivy of the or- dinance will likely be tested PLEASING HOT SPRINGS SOCIAL, Hot Springs, S.
