FOUGHT SINGLE HANDED,
Lieutenant Van Schaick's Encounter
! With $50 Filipinos.

Manila, Nov. 26.-Second Lieut.. Louis
J. Van Schaick, of the Fourth infantry,
while scouting with a few men of that
regiment met $50 insurgents who had
attacked and sacked the hamlet of
Siraca, near Cavite. Upon seeing the
Filipinos, Van Schaick ordered his men
to charge them. The command was
obeyed and Van Schaick, being mount
ed, reached the insurgents sixty yards
in advance of his men. He killed three
of them with his revolver. An insurg-
ent fired his rifle point blank at Van
Schaick at four PAGES, but missed
Lieut.. Van Schaick was then knocked
from his horse He jumped to his feet
and engag ed in a hand to hand con-
f1ict with the enemy, using the butt of
his revolver. He sustained two severe
wounds, one of which nearly severed his
wrist At this point the heutenants
men arrived, rescued him, and put the
insurgents to flight. Van Schaick is in
the military hospital at Manila and is
doing well. He has already been rec
commended for a medal of honor for
bravery in a previous engagement
General Hughes, commander of the
department of the Vizcayas, reports
that negotiations are about completed
for the surrender of the insurgent lead
er Samson, on Bohol island. This sur
render will doubtless end the revolt
against the American authority in
Bohol, as Samson is acknowledged to be
the best insurgent leader there.

New York Stocks.

New York, Nov. 26.-Wall Street.-The
course of prices was very irregular in the
opening dealings in stocks. There Were
4,500 shares of Amalgamated Copper sold
at S0QS012, but heavy selling drove the
price down again to 1872 There was some
depression among the Pacifics and one or
two of the coalerS and Baltimore & Ohio.
Pressed Steel Car preferred dropped rs
points, New York Central was lifted IA
points on large buying and Pennsylvania

Prices dropped rapidly for a time, Anal

The irregularity of Amalgamated Cop

successful in their efforts, which earn
estly hope, in the interest of the great
west they will not be, the beet sugar
industry would be crushed in its in
fancy: and while such short-sighted
action on the part of congress might
secure reduction in the price of sugar
beet sugar factories in the country
were closed, and the new industry
strangled, -s4a price of sugar would i'm
med1ately be put up, and we would
probably have to pay higher than ever
before for it. 1T is to be hoped the KAN
sas delegation in congress will oppose
to the utmost any such measure as may
be proposed to remove the duty from
sugar.
Major T. J. Anderson, government
statistician for Kansas, is sending out
to his three hundred correspondents in
various parts of the state the govern
ment report of the experiments in sugar
beet culture in various part of the
United States. The report contains eSt1-
mates of the cost of plants to be op-
Grated by farmers cooperative com
panieS and an immense fund of infor-
nation relative to the manner in which
to prepare the soil for the beets and how
to cultivate and grow them. The book
is valuable text book to any one de-
string to begin the culture of the beetS.
The report speaks very unfavorably
of the culture of the beet IN Kansas
experiments tried were limited. The
experiments were also made several
years ago, before the industry had had
a fair chance in Kansas
The growth of the beet is encouraged
by an act of the last legislature which
authorizes a bounty of 81 per ton to
every one who raises sugar beets in
Kansas whose average of saccharine
matter ranges II or more per cent
Miss Gertrude Coburn is now in the
western part of the state compiling
report upon which the bounties to be
paid will be based. She will return some
time this week and the bOunties will be
paid the first of January.
Experiments have not been made in
the culture of the beet in the eastern
portion of Kansas, but it is believed the
beet will never be raised in the eastern
portion as probably as in the western

MARRIED AN INSANE MAN.
Coffeyville Woman Seeks $4,000
Damages For Mistake.

Independence, Kan, Nov. 26--Mrs.
Annie E. Morse, of Coffeyville, has
commenced suit in the district court
against Frank Hiembrook, guardian of
the person and estate Of John Rieder,
an insane person, for $4,000 damages.
She alleges that she met Mr.. Rieder
in Coffeyvil1e and that he represented
to her that he was a single man, well
fixed in this worlds goods and, believ-
ing his representations. they were mar
ried in May. 1901. In the following
August they removed to ST. Louis. where
in the September following he deserted
her. Shortly afterwards his children
had him adjudged insane and placed in
an asylum where he now is.
Mr.. Rieder, she has found out, has
another wife living and her own mar
rage is therefore void. He owns prop
erty in Coffeyville of the value of about
s25 900, and his wife having been pro-
vided for by a former division of prop
erty, she asks for $4,000 for the damage
done to her affections and good name
by Mr. Rieder's Misrepresentation by
which she induced to marry him,
all of which were made to her while he
was of sound mind.

Strike Fund Story Denied.

Pittsburg Nov. 26.-President Shaffer,
of the Amalgamated association, en-
phatically denies the report from
Wheeling that the association lodges in
that district are to vote on an emerg-
ency assessment for the creation of a
gigantic strike fund by the time the
agreement with the United States Steel
corporation expires, eight months hence.
He says that about six or eight weeks
ago he authorized the 1evying of an as
sessment of 10 per cent, but this was
to make up fund having for it's pur-
pose the caring for men who since the
great steel strike have been unable to
secure employment.
