How Western Town Obtained and APP

Some idea Of the value that some
people attach to the value Of sugar
refinery can be gained from the follow
ing article published in the Beatr4ce
lNebraska) Democrat
Norfolk, Neb., beat al her COMPETE
tors iii getting the new Oxnard beet
sugar plant located there. Thereasonit
went 70 Norfolk instead of some other
point il because Norfolk bids $50, 900
more than was bid by South Sioux
City, the next highest bidder, and be-
cause the beets in that section took the
first prize at the State fair. They test
fifteen pounds Of graduated sugar to
the 100 pounds Of beets. The United
States bounty on sugar is II cents per
pound, and the | cent bounty offered
by the State made It very desirable
business TO so into. Besides that the
saving in freight as against imported
is about one-half cent pound, thus
making 81 cents for the manufactures
on each pound produced. The factory
will be one-fourth larger than the one
at Grand Island and the largest one in
the world. Norfolk people give, be
sides the sl50,00O bonus, fifty acres of
land, and $500 acres of land has been
secured from farmers to be put into
beets. Two hundred hands win COM
mence on the building next week.

Especial to THE WoRLDl
CHICAGO, Oct. 10. Chairman Midgley
to-day issued a circular letter to the
members Of the, Western Freight Assoc
citation, informing them that the Ohio
and Mississippi Road had announced a
reduction ON the rate on -four from st.
Louis to Baltimore. The reduction is
from % to 81 cents per 100 pounds, a
drop of cents. Western traffic men
are generally Of the opinion that this is
really Baltimore and Ohio move and
that it is merely preliminary to the
predicted cut in corn rates by that road
for the benefit of Gill & Fisher, the
Baltimore grain dealers, who have
bought up 100000 bushels of new
corn west of the Missouri River.

indictment for high treason standing
against him in Dublin. The old man
lives on an annuity bought for him a
few years ago, and his admirers are
trying to raise money wherewith to buy
him house in Dublin. It is needless
to say that the head centre Of the Fen
ian movement has no sympathy with
GladstOnian lrishmen and that his in
Inmates among the Irish people are of
the more advanced school. The near
est approach to Fenianism now in ex-
istence in Ireland is, perhaps, the Young
Ireland Society Of Dublin, which CON
tends for the policy, identical with that
of the organization of which Stephens
was the head, which would make open
war for the absolute independence of
Ireland. 1t is conjectured that Mr..
Stephens may have an understanding
with John 0lLeafy, leader of the Dub
lin organization.
James Stephens was originally clerk
in the Office Of the railway contractqf
in the County Tipperary. He was
wounded in the rebellion Of 1913, but
made his escape to Paris, where he
earned living by translating English
books into French. In 1855 he returned
to Ireland, and the next year, in ASSOC
citation with Thomas Clarke Luby,
founded Fenianism. He started the
Fenian organization in America two
years after. Inthe height Of its strength
Fenianism is believed to have had as
many as $4,000 members in Ireland
and possibly three times as many on
this side of the Atlantic. Fenianism
virtually broke down in 1865 and
Stephens was arrested. He escaped
from prison few weeks after. Steph-
ems, who had made his home on the
Continent Of Europe since the failure
of the conspiracy led by him, has Wis
tied America three times since 1865,
the last time in 1879.

death on Friday last, took place. from
the First N. II. Church yesterday after
noon II $50 o'clock. The funeral was

esteem ii which the Young man had
been held Long before the hour set
for the services tho large church cdiflce
was crowded to lis fullest capacity with
friends and relatives of the deceased.
The city tiremen were present in Il
body and in uniform. There was also
a very large representation Of the Uni
ted brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers present in body and many
other tiremen, who had been associated
with the deceased from boyhood.
Three firemen and three Brother
hood men acted as pail bearers The
services were very impressive and were
conducted BY Reverends Chapman and
Hutzler. There were some lovely floral
designs, especially theone carried BY the
Brotherhood which represented a rail-
way locomotive on. which were the
initials U. B. 4. Il. and the number
39s, that Of the engine on which the
deceased had SO long handled the throt-
tie.
It was a very long cortege that fol-
lowed the remains to Green Hin Gene

an alley until they reached the centre
Of the town, where they concealed
themselves in barn.
Superintendent Chamberlain return
ing from dinner found Brady almost
suffocated. He released the bound
guard, and, learning that the robbery
had occurred, spread an alarm.
+ The Scranton police had previously
learned of conspiracy to rob the com
pany. RNyas planned several months
ago. So officers were on the track of
the thieves.
Inside of an hour Chief Simpson had
Engle, Snow and two accomplices, Hol-
lister and Bowen, in the tolls. These
men have been under surveillance each
pay day at the mines since July.
When captured in the barn Engle
and Snow were armed for desperate re-
sistance, but were SO surprised at the
suddenness of their arrest that they
failed to use their weapons.
Engle was former employee in Spen-
GERS office, and had lived in Dunmore
many years. All the money stolen was
recovered.

Present.


A Large and Wen Pleased Crowd WAS
Present.
Every seat was occupied and hum
dreds stood up ut the performance
given BY Stoves Circus on Saturday
night. Mr.. Stowe makes no prctention
at running one Of those colossal three
ringed combination shows that Barnum
4 Bailey pretended to give, but a re-
spectacle and artistic little show that
certainly pleases the people. The
main programme lasted very nearly
two and a-half hours and opened and
ended with the appearance Of the cele-
brafed Elliott family of bicycle riders,
q treat in itself worth the price Of adj
mission
The trapezel acts, the work Of the
clowns, the heavy lifting and the tum-
bling was up to the standard Of any
circus that las exhibited here Of late
years. The same circus can come again
and be sure Of being well patronized.
Mr.. Charles 0'Neil was so well pleased
that he stated publicly that il the cir
Gus would stop here on the way back
from the South in the spring that he
would pay the license, and he made
the same proposition to Mr.. Stowe.

ISG OFFICE.


SCRANTON, Pa, October ia rob
berry unparalleled for holiness in this re

Dunmore Of nearly $4,000 at noon to-
day.
John Brady, one of Spencer's en-
ployes, had been left in the Office dur
ing the dinner hour to stand guard
over themoney with which the miners
September wages were to be paid this
afternoon. While he was there alone,
Charles Engle and George Snow enter
ed the Office with an apparently inno-
cent purpose.
Before Brady could suspect such a
thing as robbery the two visitors had,
with cat-like quickness, pounced upon
and throttled him. Then they gagged
the Waterman by thrusting handker-
chief into his mouth then blindfolded
and bound him fast to chair.
The money the robbers were after
amounted to just So, 1906, and il
was in 158 envelopes. Engle and Snow
at once gathered up the envelopes
placed them in bags concealed under
their coats, and then fed from the
