HE WANTS LIGHT
THE RESOLUTION OF Mr.. TELLER
IN THE SENATE.
REGARDING THE SUGAR TRUST
The Colorado Senator Alleges that it
Owns the Sugar Cane crop-ResoIu-
tion lnstructs Committee to Make
an Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Mr. Tel
Ter introduced in the senate the fol-
lowing:
Whereas. 1t has been currently re-
ported that nearly the entire crop of
Cuban sugar has been pul chased and
is now held by what is generally
known as the sugar trust, which is
the principal consumer of raw sugar
in the United States, and that any
concession given 20 the raisers of cane
sugar in the island of Cuba or any
measure intended for their relief by
admitting their sugar at reduced rates
of duty into the United States will
only benefit the sugar trust, and that
the Cubans will receive no real ben
eft from such concessions; and,
Whereas, 1t is alleged that num-
Der of the citizens of the United
States have acquired large holdings of
cane producing lands in Cuba, and are
now especially urging the reduction
Of the duty on sugar, under the claim
that such reduction will benefit the
people of Cuba; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the committee on
relations with Cuba be directed to
make an investigation as to the truth
of such charges and to report to the
senate, and to report, in addition
thereto, what is the normal cost Of
making sugar in the island of Cuba,
and also if any concessions shall be
made in the way of reduction of
the duty on sugar coming from Cuba
into the United States, what conces-
sions should be made by the govern
ment of Cuba, about to be established
on articles produced in the United
States and exported into the said
island of Cuba, in order to make
reciprocal and equitable arrangement
as to exports to Cuba and imports
therefrom to the United States.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on relations with Cuba, at
the suggestion of MI Pratt, chair
man of that committee.

LEAPS THROUGH A WINDOW.
Fremont Burglar SpoiIs Plan to Cap
ture Him.

FREMONT, Neb., April 19.-At 11:30
the other night the hardware store
of L. F. Holloway & Co., at Sixth
and F streets, was burgIarized by a
lone individual and $50 worth of raz-
ors, shears and revolvers stolen. The
thief escaped capture by jumping
through a plate glass window in the
front of the store after he had sent
a sewing machine crashing through
so as to make hole large enough
for his exit. Several men who were
planning to surprise and effect his ar
rest saw him fee a block toward the
west and turn a corner, and two 9TH
ers who happened to be passing along
another street caught a glimpse of
him as he darted into an alley. Moth
ing has been seen of the fellow since
that time.

ATTACK THE PURE FOOD LAW.
Unlicensed Creamery Operator Makes
Test Case.

LINCOLN, Neh.. April 21.-The
Nebraska pure food law is being Wig
orously attacked in the supreme court
on the ground that it is unconstitu,
tional. The chief contention is that
the act is in violation of that section
of the constitution which prohibits
the creation of state offices by the
legislature.
The case is one in which John C.
Merrill of Sutton was convicted for
operating creamery without first hav-
ing procured a license from the food
commissioner. No question arises as
to the facts, the only defense inter
posed being that the law under which
conviction was had is void. The suit
is being watched with unusual inter
est by manufacturers of both pure and
imitation butter, dairy and vinegar
products. The question involved is
one of far-reaching Importance, how
ever, for it will affect not only the
dairy interests, but those persons who.
come within the meaning of various
other laws which have created or esj
tablished new state offices.

SCHOOL LAND NEARLY GONE.
Commissioner FoIImer Finds Little

Commissioner FolImer Finds Little
Left to Lease.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 21.-When.
Land Commissioner Follmer fills a
number of land leasing appointments
he has made in Cedar Dixon, Dakota, j,
Cass, Polk and Boyd counties, there
will be not to exceed 1,500 acres Of
school land Unbiased in Nebraska.
Deputy Land Commissioner Eaton
said that there is but little work yet
to do in connection with the leasing
of lands and the $4,000 acres Unbiased
when Mr.. Follmer took charge of the
office will all be disposed of with the
exception of the few acres mentioned.
This includes school land in the sand
hill district as well as in the more fer
tile portions of Nebraska. The last
auctions will be held on May 25. Dur
ing recent land leasings the tendency
has been to higher values for con-
tracts of all lands forfeited and re-
leased.

SHIP MASS OF FIRE.
Steamer City of Pittsburg Burns to
Waters Edge Near Cairo.


Waters Edge Near Cairo.
CAIRO, ILL.,, April 21.-One of the
worst disasters in the history of river
navigation occurred shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday morning, near Og-
denis landing near this city. While
almost all aboard were asleep, the
steamer City of Pittsburg, was dis
covered to be on fire and in a few
moments was burned to the waters
edge. The loss of over $4,000 on the
steamer does not include the cargo,
both being a total loss. The latest
estimates are that there were $50
persons on board and that no more
than half of them were saved, many
of the latter being burned or injured.
AS the register Of the steamer was
burned, no list can be given either
of the victims or cf the survivors and
in the confusion it has been impos-
sible to get complete lists. Captain
Phillips admits that the death list
may reach sixty.
The appeals of the officers and crew
could not appeals the terror stricken
crowds that interfered with those
throwing water on the flames, as well
as those working with life boats. Few
could adjust life preservers or do any
thing else for themselves
The smoke was sitting. Great
clouds floated through the blazing
steamer, choking the passengers and
adding to the terror Children cried
pitifully, begging that they be saved.
They knew as we'll as their elders
that death confronted them and clung
to their mothers as though they alone
could save them.

cHAFFEE COMPLIMENTS BELL
Sends Letter Along with the Con.

MANILA, April 21.-General Chaffee
has forwarded to General j. Franklin
Bell the congratulations sent the lat
ter by President Roosevelt upon the
recent campaign in Batangas and La
guna provinces, conducted by General
Bell. General Chaffee forwarded the
presidents communication through
General Lloyd Wheaton and in an ac
companying letter he expresses his
great pleasure at the receipt by Cen
eral Bell of the presidents congratu-
lations. No American troops, says
General Chaffee, have ever before been
charged with a task more difficult of
accomplishment. So unique has been
the situatins in Batangas and La
guna, continues General Chaffee in
his letter, that only a person thor
oughly familiar with it by actual con-
tact can appreciate the conditions
which have been met and overcome,
or fairly determine what were the
best methods to accomplish the OBJ
jects, namely the recognition of the
sovereignty of the United States and
the establishment of peace and order
in the disturbed sections.

NORTHWEST NEBRASKA.

Prosperous.

OMAHA, Neb., April 19.-"North-

prosperous and was never IL as good
condition as at the present time" re-
marked Major Buchanan, general pas
senger agent of the Elkhorn. The
entire Elkhorn valley looks like d
garden and at this time the pros.
poets are excellent for a big crop.
There is plenty of moisture in the
ground and the recent GltowCrs have
started the grain to growing in fine
shape. All along the line farmers
are busy in the fields and making inn
rrovements in the way of erecting
l3w cattle sheds, barns and houses.

Newport, a little town of 400 inhabi
tants, and drove into the country
some twenty miles. There everything
is fourishing. By the way, that is
the greatest hay shipping point in
the world. Last season from that
point we sent cars of hay to every
state in the union, the cut running
into thousands of tons. The hay
yielded from one and one-quarter to
two tons per acre. This year the cut
will be greater than last.
"In addition to the hay fields there
are many fine ranches around New
port. on which herds of cattle from
500 to 1,500 head Craze the year
round. On every hand there is
flowing well, water being secured at
from twenty to fifty feet. Land is
selling at from $40 to $25 per acre
and is in good demand"

At the meeting of the council an ordi-

ordinance makes it a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not less than
S25 or more than 500 to have any
door, curtain or screen over or in
front of any booth, wine room or other
rooms built within a saloon. The or
dinance is the result of an individual
dealer refusing to remove the door
and is not a matter remedying any
general complaint.
