LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 11.-TSpecial TO Tbs
BEE. l-Commis sioner Jen liins has received
from the new sugar manu- factory Mt Grand
Island samples of the first sugar made from
beets in n ebraska The samples are Of both
the refined and unrefined products and there
Is pleasing delicate taste TO both that Is
very gra, eful to the palate and which Is not
To be found In the ordinary cane sugar. The
unre fined sugar is brown and very moist and
will not be put on the market unless there
should happen to arise demand for IL, The
refined sugar is snowy white product,
looking exactly like granulated sugar, but
possessing none Of the flintlike qualities Of
that saccharne substance.
Commissioner Jenkins is delighted with
the specimens sent him and now feels as
thou gh he had triumphed over the unbeliev
ing who had branded him as the "beet sugar
crank" on account of the enthusiasm he has
manifested In his pioneer efforts to have this
great industry established In n ebraS kn. Mr.
Jenkins says that n careful analysis of the
white beet has shown 1t to be rich in saccha-
rne substance, and this is the reason he has
championed the introduction of the sugar
beet. The state of n ebraska is mainly of the
earlier geological formations peculiarly fitted
for the raising of beets and will not need re-
newing nor manuring of any kind for years
on account of the su distance drawn from the
soil for the formation of sugar. The commits
sioner firmly believes that the raising objects
will in very few years be the great agricul-
tural industry of the state of Nebraska.
The commissioner says further that the
vegetables are hardy, as neither the in
tensely hot weather of the past summer or
the heavy frosts of this fall have affected the
healthy appearance of the leaves.
The specimens Of sugar given the commits
sioner are to be perenially preserved In the
state museum.
wAsuE EATENBY CANNIBALsl
The friends Of A. j. Cudney, the mission
ary, are fearful concerning his fate and
hardly dare breathe their suspicious as to
what has become of him. Mr.. Cuduey was
a well known local missionary here of re.
markable gifts. He was man of natural
genius, finely educated and remarkably
handsome. Early in life he devoted his en-
ergles to the elevation of fallen and degener-
ate humanity. He made friends and ad-
mirers in all classes of society by his ire
sistibe magnetism and never was known
to use his abilities only for
the ennobling of his fellow men.
A year ago he decided to go to the South Sea
islands and preach to the Cannibals there the
doctrine of Christ he so dearly loved and
served. Since then reports concerning his
death have been set afiOat, and as no word
has been received from him since he left
year ago, his friends here are fearful that the
worst fate that can happen to a missionary
among man-eating savages has befallen the
talented Mr.. Cudney.
CASE OF HORSE STEALING.
A colored man named Mike McClutcheon
was arrested this morning by Detective Ma
lone on the charge of stealing a horse and
wagon. The thefts of which he is accused
occurred several weeks ago. The horse was
stolen from S. K Holmes farm, west of the
city, and the wagon from man named
Mcclure, living in the north part of the city.
No trace of the stolen articles could be dis
covered until this morning, when Mcclure
saw McCutcheon drive up near the postoffice.
He called Detective Malone and informed
him that the wagon in the colored mans pos
session was the same one that had been
stolen from him.
Malone asked MeCutcheon to accompany
him to the police station, but the supposed
thief refused to go and he had to be dragged
to that place. The darkey claims that he
bought the horse and wagon from some
strange man whose name he does not know
and whom he never saw before or since.
RESCUED HER LOVER.
September "a Frank Williams, well
known TIN horn gambler, was arrested on
the charge of gambling and he pleadedguilty
by Judge Foxworthy of either payinga fine
Of $50 or leaving the city inside Of twenty.
four hours. He chose the latter punishment
and disappeared But he could not stay
away from his 'solid girl'' and he returned
day or two ago. Hewas promptly arrested
and thrown into Jail to board out his fine of
$50 and costs. The fallen woman who loves
him could not endure the thoughts Of her
''loverh pining away in prison cell and the
police say that 1t was through her that writ
Of habeas corpus was issued this morning and
he was released to have hearing Of his case
before the district court.
HOW AIKEN GOT THE MONEY.
Joe Aiken has fallen into the hands Of the
officers on the charge of getting SOL under
false pretenses from Mead & 'Brien of the
nf g a
sented he owned large corn crop, any
amount OF hay and innumerable hogs, and Sc
