THE SUGAR BEET
Action of the Legislature May Result in
Some Good Yet.
HOUSE COMMITTEE EARNESTLY AT WORK
Seeking to Devise "A Plan whereby
the Industry Mny he Fostered
and Encouraged without
Resort to Bounty.

LINCOLN, Feb. 9.--(Special Telegram.)-
The beet sugar committee appointed yester-
day by Speaker Gaffn met this morning at
the state house at o'clock. The full
committee, Pollard of Cass, Sheldon of
Dawes. Roddy of Otoe, Wooster of Merrick
and Soderman Of Phelps, were present The
present outlook for some legislation favor
able to the beet sugar growers of the state
is favorable. 1t was decided to write to
Prof. Nicholson Of the University Of Ne
braska, Hon. Robert W. Furnas and j. G..
Hamilton, manager Of the Norfolk sugar
factory and invite them to meet with the
committee on Tuesday next. The object OF
this conference is to devise plan for future
legislation in behalf of the sugar beet raiser.
One of the plans suggested at the meeting
this morning was to divide the state into
two districts, which districts should be
authorized to issue bonds to build new fac
tories. The bonds would become per-
manent investment and profits accruing
from the enterprise would be converted
back into a fund to take up the bonds at
maturity. This plan seemed to be favor
ably received by the members of the COM
mittee, and 1t Is considered highly probable
that bill drawn on these lines will be in
troduced at a near day in the house

business transacted was the election Of w.
d. Holbrook OF Dodge county to succeed
Cox OF Douglas as permanent chairman. The
election was made necessary by the action
of the majority of the house in unseating
Cox. House roll No. 80, the exposition bill,
was considered. but no definite action was
taken in regard to it.
The house committee on revenue and tax
alton held short session at the Lindell but
adjourned to meet at p, m. tomorrow and
did not report any bills.
The house committee on asylums also met
and adjourned until tomorrow.
The house committee on railroads held
meeting today at the capitol. The only
measures considered were house rolls Nos.
227 and 22S. The former Is an act to pro-
hfbit the obstructing of the traffic of rail-
ways by conspiracy and to provide punish
ment therefor House roll No. 22S is an
act to prevent the entering of railroad cars
in the night time, or buildings, outhouses,
shops or factories. Both Of these measures
will be recommended for indefinite post

of criminal negligence and will be retained
until the coroner's inquest, which taxes
place at o'clock this afternoon.
The parents OF the deceased fireman, n.
G.. Krause who live at 517 North Fourteenth
street, we're notified OF the death OF their
son and visited the morgue last evening.
Mr.. Krause stated that his son had been
employed on the Union Pacific railroad for
about eleven years. Last year he had very
narrow escape while firing the same engine,
No. 1S00 on the road between Columbus
and Grand Island. At the time OF the former
accident the connecting rod on the driving
wheels of the locomotive upon the side
usually occupied by the fireman broke and
flying through the air crashed into the cab.
Krause chanced to be shoveling coal at the
time and this alone saved his life. The seat
upon which he ordinarily sat was smashed
into spinters. .
Mrs Thomas Krause, who resides in Coun-
Gil Bluffs. also visited the morgue last even
ing and viewed the remains of her husband.
The funeral arrangements will be announced
later. Krause was 30 years Of age.
After being taken to the hospital last
evening, VanNoy's condition did not i'm
prove as was hoped by his attending physi-
clans. His injuries consisted OF deep cuts
about the head, arms and legs, and In a
number of places scalds from escaping steam.
Later injuries Of an internal nature de-
veloped, and at a late hour last night his
life was despaired OF. He was visited at
the hospital by his wife and relatives.
Under the direction of Superintendent
Nichols the wrecked train pulled to
one side Of the main track, and by o'clock
the main rails were declared open for
through traffic.
Engine No. 1900 Is pretty thoroughly
wrecked, the smoke stack cab and other
portions being stripped from the boiler. 1t
will be placed on the rails this morning
and pulled down to the shops for complete
overhauling.
The road officials expressed themselves as
heartily glad that the accident did not result
in greater fatalities, as the wreck took place
upon the edge Of twenty-five foot embank-
nent. Had the train been running at a
slightly greater rate of speed the entire
number of coaches would have rolled down
to the lower tracks, undoubtedly entailing a
great loss of life.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Frank May, formerly
chief cashier and practically manager of
the Bank Of England until he. resigned in
1893, is dead. The resignation of Mr.. May
announced ON November TO- 1898, caused
quite a stir in financial circles in Great

years His father was junior partner of the
firm OF Coleman & May, stock brokers, who
were connected with several trust com
panies which collapsed toward the end of

resignation of Mr.. May was that he had
induced the bank to engage in transactions
not in accordance with the old traditions
OF the Bank OF England, and 1t was stated
that the losses sustained did not exceed

stomach troubles are SO common and in

Ihis fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak digestion

NOW, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly

only secret of their success
Cathartic pills never have and never can

MAY LEAVE KEARNEY IN DARKNESS.
SqunbbIe Over Electric Lighting May
BE Taken Into Court.


KEARNEY, Feb. 9.-(Special) )-The city
council is wrestling with the question of
street lighting. The contract with the Kear-
ney Electric company expired on the first of
this month, and so far the officials have
been unable to agree upon the terms of
new contract, The price paid prior to Feb
ruary l was Az cents per hour per light,
and there were twenty-siX arc lights used
at that price In addition there were nine
lights which the city had the use of in,
consideration of having voted and donated
to the Kearney Canal and Water Supply
company 100000 in bonds May /, 1894. The
contract for furnishing the free lights was
for a term of twenty years, and the city
council is now inclined to get along with
as few lights as possible meeting of
the citizens was held last night to discuss
the matter, and 1t seemed to be the unani-
nous opinion that the council should only
take the lights that the city was entitled
to free, and If the electric company failed
or refused to comply with this demand that
steps should be taken to force them to do
so at once. Just what the outcome will be
is hard to predict, but it is quite certain that
this city will be in darkness for a While at
least.
