Most of the Yield In Dodge county
Ordered by the Factory.
FREMONT, Dec. 13.-(Special)-The farm
ers ara feeling better over the beet situation.
A good many carloads have been shipped this
week, and from present indications nearly II
not all the beets sliced will be accepted by
the factory. The factory is now paying for
beets that come up to the required test $3.50
on the cars at Fremont. Those who left their
beets in the ground, thinking that the cost
of getting them out would not pay them for
what they could sell them. are In some cases
feeling pretty sore. Those who made money
on their bests are talking of contracting Tor
a still larger acreage next year, but unless
there Is n factory built here or In this imme-
diae vicinity 1t is doubtful II there are AS
many beets raised next year as this.
The farmers who raised chicory are FEELING
elated over the success Of the crop. The fac
tory took all they raised and there was no
question over tests.

Bx-Treasurer Of Hall County on Trial for
EmbeSzlement.
EXPLAINING THE SHORTAGE TO A JURY
Peculiar Features of the Case Run
ming Through Two Tcrms-One
of the Jurors suddenly he
comes Ill.

GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Dec. 13.-(Spe-
cial.)-The trial Of Edward C. Hockenberger,
the ex-treasurer Of Hall county and ex-secre-
tary Of the Board of Education, on the charge
Of embezzlement Of $4,000 Of the boards
money, is rapidly nearing a close. In March,
1891, Hockenberger, as county treasurer. paid
to himself as secretary of the school board
S., 700, and in September. 1891, he paid, as
county treasurer, to himself, as secretary Of
the school board, 5000. The receipts given
by the treasurer of the school board and
accepted by Hockenbsrgsr showed an even
81, 900 less in each instance. The discovery
was soon made by the finance committee Of
the board and Hockenberger was arrested.
His trial was bsgun Tuesday. About a year
ago he was tried for embezzlement of county
funds. having bsen found short over Sc, 900.
He pleaded not guilty and was on trial ac-
quilted. Tho prosecution has put up a very
strong case, showing the receipts given by
Hockenberger to himself as county treasurer
to have been 81 900 less in each instance,
showing the entries in the county records to
b. $1,000 more than his receipts, to have
been made in his own writing; that the
short amount was never turned over and
had not been up to this day. The defense
succeeded In getting all the records into evil
dence. On a motion Of the defense, however,
the prosecution was required to elect between
the two specifications, and elected that OF
September IS. The prosecution finished its
case yesterday afternoon. This morning Mr..
Hockenberger was placed on the stand, and
admitted that in the transaction he was
81 900 ahead, but that It was a shortage in
the county funds and not in the school boards
funds. He stated that his county books were
81 900 short and that he wrote an entry In the
county ledger of So, 600 where 1t should have
been only 1900, and that that sum only was
due to the school board, and as county treas
urer he had only received $4,000 for the
school board.
Hockenberger was the only witness put on
by the defense, and the testimony was fin
ished at noon. Arguments to the jury were
made this afternoon. This evening, while
the jury was at supper, Juror Roach was
taken quite sick with heart trouble. A doc
tor was called, and, though he allowed the
patient to go back to the court room, he
advised the court that Roach was not well
enough to go into the jury box tonight, and
instructions by the court will not be read
until 8 o'clock tomorrow. The jurymen all
remained in charge Of bailiffs in the court
house.

auence don't know anything about the
third term. The people are discussing
II and they Will settle It,
Mr.. Eckles' statement that the people
were discussing the matter seriously
seems to have been only an echo OF what
was passing in the minds OF other DEM
ocratlc leaders, and there seems to be no
dorbt that that portion of the Democ-
racv that IS identified with the admins
tr,tion Is trying to force itself into the
belief that the people want Mr.. Cleveland
for A third term, and that 1t is their duty
to secure his denomination and an effort
is being made in that direction.
Controller Eckels, having paid trlb-
ute to Mr. Cleve.and's worth, went on to
talk about the financial situation. He Of
course takes Mr.. Cleveland's view of the
currency question, but he went beyond
all that Mr. Cleveland has said In speak
ing Of the greenback system He said, in
speaking of the silver sentiment gener-
ally:
'iThe sentiment in favor of the free
coinage OF silver Is, In my estimation,
practically { a. or course, there is still
a remnant OF it awe, and there will a.
WAYS be men that favor an expansion
of the currency, but / think that the
crisis is past. OF course, as long as we
have a system of money there will Always
be men WHO think that they can improve
the system in vogue. By next year, how
ever. / think that the sentiment will be
pretty well wiped out. In times OF busi-
ness depression people are more Likely TO
listen to talk of men that advocate the
expansion of the currency, but as busi-
ness picks up the talk dies out, although
the sentiment remains to large extent,
like a smouldering fire, ready to break
uot at all times. or course, business de-
preston is likely to come at any time,
with its incidental silver outburst, and it
is necessary to be on guard, for thinl;
the sentiment has passed away for the
time being"

JACK ASHORE.

The Federal Bureau of Navigation Is
endeavorlng to put an end to the extor-
tion of money from seamen in the mer-
chant marine for securing them berths
on American vessels by sailor boarding
house keepers and middlemen. lnstruc-
tions have been issued to United States
seamen about to sign shipping articles
as to whether any money had been de-
manded of them, directly or indirectly
and to report any evidence Of violation
attorney.
This is commendable on the part of the
Navigation Bureau, but its practical
effect is open to question. Jack ashore"
has been provei1lal for a great many
years, and no legislation, no act Of con-
gress, no shipping commissioner, san save
him from the consequences Of his own
folly. Paid off at the end of a voyage,
his one idea, only too often, is to have
good time ashore as long as his money
lasts and then to ship again.
Naturally, with such ideas, he is only
too likely to fall an easy victim to de-
signing men, who will make much of
him while he has any money, and then
get rid of him as soon as possible. The
sailor clearinghouse keeper-we speak
of course of the dlsreputable sort oniy-
will get Jacks money, give him credit up
to a certain limit, and then repay him
self out of the sailors advance, or from
the premium paid for sailors If men be
scarce, and he audits all the accounts,
How can legislation remedy such a con-
dition of things unless 1t can reach the
man himself and teach him wisdom ana
judgment?
The law has already thrown safe
guards around the sailor ashore, and es-
peclally in the matter of shipping for a
new voyage, but 1t cannot compel him
to avail himself of them. There are
clearinghouse keepers in this city, as
in all cities, where the sailor ashore Is
certain of fair and honest treatment,
but the general impression is that they
constitute the exception rather than the
rule but no law, unless the sailor him
self win aid in its execution can pro-
tect him against his own folly.
