The citizens of Chadron, Neb.. are
nothing if not enterprising. Having
met with failure in their efforts to es-
tablish sugar beet plant in that place
short time since, after q long and
persistent trial, and when the prize
seemed almost within their grasp, have
again rallied and will make another
herculean effort in that direction with
an encouraging outlook for better sue
cess. The bonus which it is necessary
for the pace to raise, and for which
they are now working hard to secure, is
$500 acres of land, $4,000 in cash and a
site in the city upon which to erect the
plant. The determination and public
spirit manifested by the Chadron peo-
pie in their splendid former effort, al
though failure, may b0 safely accepted
as a strong basis upon which to build a
lively hope of their final success.

I'm running a paper you've noticed,
no doubt, how some weeks it humps
you to get the thing out. You hu. tie
for copy and rack your poor brain, fresh
morsels of news for your columns to
gain, but it's all to no purpose, the news
isn't there. no matter how wildly you
rustic and swear. So you trump up
some stuff just to plug up the space, tell
how bicycle riding is death to the race,
how the dads of the city aren't onto
their job. and how Wilkinson's s heifer
got checked on a cob. Then you clip
till the blamed thing won't hold any
more, and the very next mail brings
you copy galore. e."-White Lake Wave.

The body Of young Percy Faunce, who,
with his father and seven colored men,
was drowned Friday last by the upsetting
Of their boat of Virginia Beach, reached
Washington last evening and was taken to
Lees undertaking establishment, where it
was prepared for burial.
Up to a late hour today nothing had been

and the colored men not previously found
The relatives Of Capt. Faunce. are calmly
awaiting information that his remains have
been washed ashore.
Mr.. Frank Farmer, an employee of Capt
Faunce, who reached the city this morning
from the scene of the disaster, told a Star
reporter that orders had been received at
the life-saving stations Nos. and Q from
Washington that the crews Of those sta
lions should patrol the beach from Cape
Henry to Hatteras inlet hourly until the
last body of those los. in the disaster in

An inquest was held at Virginia Beach
yesterday on the bodies Of Percy Faunce

washed ashore, and the following thrilling
by Frank J. Fauace, son OF Capt. John
F'aunce, and witness Of the dreadful af-
fair. Young Faunce said:
my father and brother were on the bot

crew were in sight. I shouted for help. and
several men came running down to the sea
from the cabin. 1 got the sixteen-foot dory

alone. Just then I saw Capt. John Jones'
boat out to sea and waved her in The
men pulled toward shore and came within
thirty yards of my father and brother, who
called for help. The men in the boat. in
stead Of going to their rescue, turned north

came on the beach.
Il then called for volunteers for a crew

offered to CO. Not a single man in Jones'
crew or our extra crew would go.

big Crowds Turned Out to Enjoy
the Beautiful Weather.
The warm wave from the far west that
reached Washington yesterday morning
melted the mood of the weather hereabouts
quite materially, and the population that
has been sneeezing and coughing and
bundling itself up for the past six weeks
grew as genial as the atmosphere and
tumbed out Of doors with great unanimity
to distend its lungs with something like
refreshing air. The Easter gowns that
were impossible on Easter Sunday were
donned by matrons and maids, and the
churches presented a gay appearance with
the new hats and stunning costumes. The
same gayety of attire was noticeable in the
promenading throngs that crowded Con-
nectfcut and Massachusetts avenues. The
country seekers were SO numerous as to
test the capacity of the street railroads.
There were thousands of visitors to Chevy
Chase and twice as many sought the Zoo
to pay spring greetings to the animals.
The drives around the city were lined with
carriages, and bicycles were as numerous
as the leaves in Vallambrosa. Altogether
the first real spring Sunday of 1896 was
welcomed with genuine enthusiasm by the
cosmopoltes who people the national capt.
tai end enjoyed no day has been for
many a month.

man BabcOck.
Mr.. T. P. Kane has addressed a letter to
Congressman Babcock, chairman of the
House committee on the District Of Co.
lumbia, in relation to the joint resolution
introduced in the House April authoriz-
ing the lexington and Soldiers Home, the
Belt and the Maryland and Washington
railway companies to equip their respec-
tive lines within the District Of Columbia
with pneumatic or other modern motive
power, subject to the approval of the Dis
trict Commissioners. In his communication
Mr.. Kane says: 1.-The resolution intro
duced in the House on the 9Th instant by
Mr.. Miles, and referred to your committee,
to authorize the lexington and Soldiers
Home, the Belt line and the Maryland and
Washington railway companies to equip
their respective lines, or any part thereof,
within the limits of the city Of Washington,
with such pneumatic or other modern mo-
tive power as may be approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners Is long-looked-for
step in the right direction. 1t should be
amended, however, SO as to not only
thoriZe but direct that the change in mo-
tive power be made, and within a specified
time after the date of approval Of the reso-
luton. 1t should also fix penalty for nom
compliance with its terms. The words ''or
any part thereof should be stricken out,
SO as to require the equipment of all the
lines OF the companies within the city limits
and not leave it to their option to equip
such portions of them al they see fit. The
resolution should also prohibit a return to
horse power in the event Of the surface
motor which it Is proposed to try on these
lines proving unsatisfactory.
Amended in these respects, a prompt
and favorable report upon the resolution
and its early enactment into law would
meet with tho hearty approval Of all the
patrons of these lines.
cit is to be hoped, therefore, that the COM
mittee will act en- this resolution without
delay in order that the necessary legisla-
ton may be had during the present ses-
sion Of Congress to enable these companies
to change the motive power on their lines"
