BEET SUGAR PLANT.
Letter Received From j. s. Emery, of
Des Molnes.
/ L

Captain S. H. Harper is in receipt
of a letter from j. S. Emery, presi-
dent of the Harris-Emery company Of
Des Moines, and one of the promoters
of the sugar beet factory that it is
proposed to locate in Ottumwa. Mr..
Emery is very much in earnest in the
matter and says that he will come to
this place if his presence is necessary,
next Monday. Just what steps his rep
resentatiye, j. S. Gibson, took while i'll
the city this week towards the forma-
ton OF a business mems committee in
the interest of the project, is not
known, but it is assumed that from
Mr.. Emery's letter he had not heard
from Mr.. Gibson in regard to the pro-
gress made since the visit of the latter.
One thing is certain, Mr.. Emery is one
of the solid business men of Des
Moines and any project he takes hold
OF has merit in it. The business men
of Ottumwa will do well to thoroly in.
pestigate the proposition, which does
not solicit any money contribution
and lend every effort toward the es
adjustment of plant in this city, az
well as interest themselves in the nee
essary preliminary work.

TO REOPEN MURDER CASE.
Kansas Supreme Court Gives George
Dobbs Chance.

Topeka, Kan, June 10.-The supreme
court has reOpened the celebrated murder
cases of George Dobbs and Mrs. Amelia
New. now serving a life sentence in the
Lansing penitent[ary for the murder,
near Eureka, in 1897, of Joseph New, the
womans husband. The court has grant
ed a writ of nobis, which is in effect an
order to the district court to hear the
application for a new trial, which the
lower court had refused.
Dobbs and Mrs New were convicted
two years ago on the theory that they
were in love and conspired to get rid of
New so they might marry.
After they had been in the penitentiary
for some time Alvin Ballard, sent up for
horse stealing, asserted he could prove
that Dobbs and Mrs New were inno-
cent. Ballard said Frank Allgood now
in the peniteHtiary fors.forgery; William
Turner and he were the rear murderers.
Ballard told the story In detail, saying
he belonged to . robber band organized
by Atwood, and told the officers where
they could find many stolen horses and
vehicles. Ballard was taken from the
penitentiary to verify his assertions, and
aided the officers in recovering much
stolen property. On the strength of this
evidence application for a hearing in the
cases of Dobbs and Mrs New was made
before the district court of Greenwood
county, where they were convicted, but
the motion was refused. Now that the
supreme court has overruled the lower
courts decision the motion for a new
trial will be heard at once.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
SOME OF THE MEN LIKELY TO GO
TO KANSAS CITY.


COLUMBUS, O.. June 10-The Dem
ocratic state convention meets here next
Tuesday and Wednesday to select dele
gates at large and alternates to the Kan
sas City convention and to nominate can
didates for electors at large, secretary Of
state, judge of supreme court dairy and
food commissioner, commissioner of
schools, and members of the board of
public works. There is the usual list Of
contestants for the state offices and the
usual diversity of opinion as to the plat
form.
The Indications are that the delegation
to the national convention will have new
timber. 1t has been the custom for the
governor or the candidate for governor
at the preceding election to head the list
of delegates at large. John r. Mclean,
proprietor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
headed the Democratic ticket for COVER
nor last year. and world be selected as
the head of the Ohio delegation to Kansas
City this year, but he announces that
other engagements will prevent him from
attending the Kansas City convention.
Mr.. Mclean sails with mis- family for Eu-
rope next Saturday to be out of the
country for an indefinite period. There
will be no effort to advance the Dewey
candidacy for the presidency, as some
had expected would he the case here
this week. 1t is conceded that the con-
vention will unanimously fndorse Bryan
for president. Among the most promi-
nent names mentioned for delegates at
large are Col. James Kilbourne, of Co
lumbus, the leading candidate against
Mclean for the nomination for governor
last year; William S. Thomas, of Spring
field, chairman Of the state committee;
John G. Welty, of Canton; Charles N.
Haskell, of ottawa; George w. Hull of
Toledo; A. B. Patrick, of Tuscarawa; !;
Horace L. Chapman, of Jackson; John
]. Lentz, of Columbus; Frank M. Merri-
oft, of Delaware; Herman Groesbeck, Of
Cincinnati.
There is a movement here to have the
Democratic headquarters located in Co
lumbus during this campaign. 1t IS
claimed that the Democratic state COM
mittee of Kentucky has indorsed Colum-
bus. The state convention of West Vir-
ginia last Thursday adopted a strong
resolution indorsing Columbus for the ma
tional Democratic headquarters, and SIM
liar movements are on foot in other
states. 1t is claimed that the Democrats
should carry the war into Mckinley's
state and contest every county in Ohio
1t is also argued that the border states
of Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia
are the doubtful ones that may decide
the result, and that they are easily
reached from Columbus.

LYNCHED TWO NEGROES
ONE AND POSSIBLY Roth OF THEM
MAY HAVE been, INNOCENT
zagssl;sl l;slETls.ss @o'- -'-''-'-c,, s-zzls

BILOXI, Miss, June 1.-two negro
men were lynched, possibly for one mans
crime, early this morning, at Mississippi
City, and dt is not absolutely certain that
either victim of the mob-laW was guilty.
Henry Askew and Ed Russ, held as sus-
poets, were taken out and strung up to
a tree in a thicket just behind the rail-
way station, sss2 'fazgas :
The law-abiding people Of this section
while confident of the necessity for Wig
orous acton, deplore and condemn the
dual lynching. District Attorney White
had promised that the prisoners would
be brought to trial on Monday, and yes
terday at a mass meeting held at this
place, the citizens promised to support
the district attorney in his efforts to
have justice done to the prisoners. Early
last night Sheriff Ramsey, in order to
protect Askew and Russ from mob Vio-
lence, removed them to bathhouse
After midnight the mob assembled near
the bathhOuse, and after overpowering
a deputy, whom the sheriff had engaged
to protect his prisoners, dragged the ne
groes away. The crowd, which was sup
posed to know nothing of the negroes
hiding place, did not stop a the prison.
but went straight to the bathhouse The
negroes were tied back to back and
swung up to the same tree. Their bodies
were riddled with bullets, and after death
resulted were set on fire. The greWsome
smell of burning flesh could be detected
for miles around. Sheriff Ramsey and
Marshal Morley reached the scene after
the execution. They saw the members
of the mob, but it is stated were un-
able to recognize them on account Of
trees casting shadows on their faces"
About a hundred men gathered near
the scene of the crime waiting for the
appearance Of the posse with the pris-
oners, but were disappointed The mob
was impatient and did its work when
the first tree was reached.
On the I'd of June Christine Winter
stein, thirteen-year-old school girl, was
outraged and murdered about two miles
from Biloxi, while on her way home
from school exercises. Askew and Russ,
both Of whom had been in the vicinity
of the place where the outrage was com
mitted that day, were charged with the
crime.

JOHNSON SHOWS GRIEF
AAoKA MURDER SUSPECT, HOW
EVER, PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE

ANOKA, MINI, June 1O.-(Special )
Inc mystery of the Wise murder is
thought to be solved, or at least circurn-
stances point that way. Ben Johnson
the accused, is still in Jail here, instead
OF Minneapolis, as was reported Until
late hour last night he seemed at times
in the best of spirits, but this morning
when Deputy Sheriff Merrill went into
the jail, it was noticeable that John
sons night was not of the pleasantest.
for he was crying; in fact, he was sob
bing bitterly. However he maintains
his innocence, and feels assured he will
be declared so. The sheriff took his to-
bacco and snuff box away from him 1t
is thought by the authorities that John
son knows something about the murder
and that he will eventually break down
and tell all he knows This morning
Johnson received a telegram from his
father, who is in Minneapolis, which
read:
Cheer up, We know you are innocent
Don't worry. Will come out all right
With greetings from your father mother
and all. (Signed) A. o. Johnson"
Two cousins of JohnsOns visited him
at the jail today and spent some time
however, in the presence of the sheriff.
Tomorrow morning he will be taken be-
fore the municipal court for a prelim-
mary examination, and much Is looked
for in line of other implications.
Johnson is about So, and is large and
strong.
Joseph Wise, the boy shot through the
lungs, was reported at II o'clock tonight
as dying, and by morning a third of the
family, it is thought, will succumb.

CRIME LAUGHS AT JUSTICE
Criminals I'm Cuba Have Little Fear
of Prosecution.

HAVANA. June 10.-Cuban Justice" is
recognized as having become merely
matter of dollars and cents, and the
Cuban lawyers seem to object to all re-
forms. For instance, the charge against
Secretary Souza, of the cathedral court
who was arrested Friday night for brib-
cry, has not been referred to by any
Havana paper printed in Spanish. One
editor, when the case was called to his
attention, said he could not afford to an
tagonize men holding such positiors
Even though marked money was found
in SOuZa's possession, and the conversa-
ton between him and Carlos Bacarrisse.
in which he said that justice cost money.
was overheard by a detective whom
Bacarrisse had employed at the sugges-
ton of Gov. Gen. Wood, it is still felt
that the official will not be punished
A similarly gloomy view is taken with
reference to the outcome of the custom
house fraud case. The Post this morning
said:
1.-The relations existing between those
charged with this crime and the mem
bers of the court before which they will
be tried have led the accused to brag
openly that they will come out of the
struggle without a scar"
A brother of one of the accused per-
sons is a son-in-law of the chief justice.
In criminal matters about the only pro-
lection Americans and other foreigners
have is the court of Capt. Pitcher, the
police magistrate, but he has very En-
tied power, the extent of the penalties
he may enforce being ten days or SO.
Although Capt. Pitcher may possibly
have made mistakes, his court is of in
calculable advantage. The principal
complaint that certain section of Amer
leans make as that he placed too much
reliance upon what the police say. For
eigners desire to have his court abol-
ished and the consular courts restored,
so as to give their rights due protection.

WASHINGTON, June 1O-Not a word
has been received by the state or navy
departments up to 9 o'clock tonight re-
garding the situation in China Minister
Conger has been in almost daily COM
municaton with the state department for
the past week, so that the failure to hear
from him is somewhat unusual. The gen
eral Interpretation put upon his silence
is that affairs remained practically un-
changed. At the same time the ministe,
has been fully advised by the officials as
to his course in dealing with the situa-
ton so that he could be fully prepared to
act without further communication with
the state department.
Several dispatches came to the navy
department during the day. but none of
them was from Admirals Remey, at Ma
Mia, or Kempff, in charge of the Asiatic
squadron and row at Taku The latter's
force will be increased soon bv the ar

mands will be considerably increased

the evening, but that diplomat said he

ment respecting the present Boxer agi-
tation now III progress there The min
lister explained that his government, un.
like European governments, did not re.
sort to the use of the cable freely in
communicating with him. Mr. WI in
quired eagerly for the latest press dis
patches from China and was told of the
departure of 1,500 foreign troops from
Tien Tsin for Pekin today, and that Eng
lish troops at Hong Kong were in readi-
ness to proceed north on account Of the
Boxer disturbances. He had no com
menl to make other than to express the
hope that the situation would become i'm
proved soon and that like disturbances
which have heretofore occurred would
disappear entirely before long.

Gov. stephens, However, VIII Not
Call 1t Out if AvOidable.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. June 10
Gov. Stephens says this evening that ev-
erything is being put in Seadiness for call
ing out the national guard of Missouri
TO quell disorder in st. Louis consequent
to the street car strike, but he will not
issue the call except as a last resort. 1t
will cost, he says. $1,000 to land $500 men
IN ST. Louis, and as much more to main
tain them, and as there is no appropria-
ton for that purpose, he does not know
how the legislature would view a def
cheney of SOS, 900 for maintaining troops
in ST. Louis. 1t might require an extra
session of the legislature to appropriate
money, he says.
A rumor is current here that Attorney
General Crow will proceed in the su-
preme court to oust Mayor Seigenheim
from office for failing to perform his Off
cial duties in connection with the strike.
Gen Crow denies that any such action
is to be taken at this time.
