A SIDE SHOW.
Peter Morgart Makes a Disgraceful
Exhibition.
A Republican Light Adds HIS Part
TO the Pow-wow at Turner Hall
Last Night.

While the republican hippodrome was
ir progress in Turner hall last night there
was a sideshow in the saloon which is
joined by narrow passageway and an
ante room, which proved almost as much
OF drawing attraction as the great I'M
paralleled exhibition itself. Juggler
Josh was not one of the drawing cards,
but the affair proved quite as entertain>
ing as if he had been. The chief per-
former was Peter Morgart. who intro.
troduced one>ring show, and after a
little feat peculiarly his own, and in
which. however, he was assisted. he re-
tired TO police headquarters where he
spent the night.
The entire or exact circumstances of
the affair are not known Aid. Ed
wards had stopped inthe saloon to con-
verse with friends on his way through to
the convention hall, when Nor
gart entered and went directly up to
where Edwards stood and struck him.
One of Aid. Edwards friends struck
back ct Morgart bringing blood. Nor
CART made a desperate endeavor to
pull revolver from his hip pocket. but
before he could do so was taken in charge
by Officer Kramer and escorted to the
police station where on demand he pro-
duced loaded revolver.
After Morgart had been taken to the
station, "Dutchy" Rosenfeld called and
asked to see him. and being admitted to
the room in which he was confined,
struck Morgart swipe on the face that
gave Disagreement to his physiognomy
aud caused the blood to squirt. Rosen-
field then left Morgart bewildered This
little unpleasantness grew out of long
existing i'll feeling.
This morning Magistrate Wivill fined
Rosenfield S. and costs for assault, and
this afternoon Morgsrt wss tried before
Magistrate Wivill, Aid. Edwards declin-
ing at first to appear. preferring to settle
with Morgart in other ways. But the
court issued an attachment for Mr. Ed
wards. trial was had and Morgart fined
S25 and costs, which was paid.
Morgart is a ward striker and one Of
the republican stripe at present. His
action last night is on a par with other
freaks such as have characterized his
career here in the past. He is not safe
man to go armed, and had he been per-
mitted to carry out his will last night,
would no doubt have committed murder
before being taken from the hall.

TheIce Trust Weakening.

The ice trust is weakening and is
liable to have its scale OF exorbitant
prices knocked out any time. Geo.
E. Lambert. one of its leading members.
has sold out to the new ice firm
of Hubers s. Weinberger, who will
take possession April 1, and will not be
guided by the scale of the combine. So
Rock Islands prospects for having
cheaper ice than the pool intended the
city should have, are quite bright at
present.
The ice trust Withdrew its scale of ex-
oroitant prices this morning, and will
either reduce the rates or abandon an Or
ganization and leave each of its members
free to conduct his own business. There
are none perhaps who realize to q greater
extent the mistake of the combine than
the members of it themselves.

A. S. CroSsfieId.

BROWNS VALLEY, MINI April Is, 1890.
My DEAR CoLoNRL:-Some time last
year I saw an article in the Morris Sun
attacking the propriety of the "Town
Poor Law" passed for Stevens county,
to which you made reply. That article,
if remember rightly, stated that R. j..
Hall would never have been party to
such "skullduggery." This scarcely
agrees with the resolution offered by Mr..
Hall and passed by the Farmers ALI
ance of Stevens county, which read in
the MORRIS TRIBUNE, relative to that
law.
Mr. Hall, however, is in error in say
ing that it was passed at the request of
the Farmers Alliance, because | had the
law passed through the House at the re-
quest Of the people of Stevens County,
and there was no intimation that the re-
quest was backed by the Farmers Ali
ance, even though it may have been so.
mention this simply to call your at
tention to the fact that the learned pen
Gil pusher of the Sun may by bare pos
sibility make mistake, and that the i'm
maeulate nominee of the Democratic
party for representative in the legislature
from the 42nd district could possibly be
a party to the same "skullduggery" az
he who has the honor of representing
that district by permission of the people
He who was charged with being cor.
poration attorney, the candidate of mon.
opolies, the representative of oppression,
and who now, Tin the language Of that
distinguished few, who, because of their
great ability, the superiority of their in.
tellect, the honesty of their intentions
the integrity of their actions, and who
from their vastly greater knowledge OF
what is best for the people than the PEG
pie themselves know, are entitled to use
this language, is to be Recommended
to the tender mercies of oblivion"
l tell you, sir, that the great mass Of
people of Stevens county ought to fall
down upon their Bonded knees and fer
vently thank Almighty God, that He in
His infinite wisdom has seen fit to give
them such men to lead them out of the
house of bondage into the promised land
The ear marks of the supervisor of the
worlds progress are upon them; they
have been chosen az Samuel was, and
| are entitled to stand upon the corners
and cry: eve thank God that we are
holier and greater than other men, and
so are able to lead these other poor blind
things by ways they have not known
and cannot understand. We will make
their darkness light 80 far as their fee
BILE intellects will allow"
Do you not say with me, my dear sir
that we must be thankful for this incom
ing era when the mountain must come
| to Mahomet?
Sincerely yours,

Cleveland is fast becoming too fat for
anything-the grand embodiment OF
living grease, so to speak-and that
his friends are becoming seriously
alarmed at hisgreat obesity. He at
tends the Baptist church every Sun
day, and the Baptist brothers and sis
tiers have watched his visible increase
In size in amazement. It is said that
he is considering the question of put
ting himself on bran diet. The fat
of his neck lies over the collar of his
shirt In three heavy folds, making it

In 1883, about 1880 tons. In 1889,
siboutS, 900 tons. In 1890 about $4,000
tons will be produced, an increase
in 1890 over 1887 of about 5000 per

is the beginning of new era in the
sugar production of the United States
he has only to so to California, Kan
sas, or Nebraska, and he will see that
the people of those states are in earn

ready to develope this industry. We
have the climate, the soil, and the
skill, and as soon as we have the as
surance that Congress will perma-

will be ready to invest. There are at
present two beet-sugar factories IN
the United States.
First. The Alameda Beet Sugar
Company, situated at Alvarado, CAL,
with capacity of working $50 tons

other factory with similar capacity
will be put up 10y the same company
