Sugar beet Bounty.
NORTH BEND. Neb., Feb. 2s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: | notice in your issue
of the 9th inst. an article entitled beet
Sugar Bounties.' and in this l fail to find
one word about the 1896 bounty due the
beet growers Of the state.
1t is well enough for Mr.. Ferrar to say
that $4S, 900 is all the money paid out by
his company on bounties for the years of
1896 and 1896. but the fact is 1t did not
pay out one dollar for the 1896 bounty,
after having agreed to do so in the con-
tract for that year, providing the legisla-
ture would make an appropriation for that
purpose.
Now, why should the beet growers OF
1896 think there was any mere doubt Of
their getting the 81 per ton extra when
they grew their crop than there would be
of the sugar company's claim not being
allowed?
Mr.. Ferrar was very careful last Decem-
Der to refuse to give the names and post
office addresses of the 1896 beet growers,
because they desired to organize them
selves and send representatives to the
legislature to look after their own inter-
ests. 1 suppose he had in mind that 1t
would be easier to get an appropriation for
$4s, 900 than for $4,000.
There is no doubt but what abe state
honestly ives the Oxnard people S4s, 900,
but it Just as honestly owes the farmers
$65. 900 for the 1896 bounty. This particular
season happened to be one of the best for
the beet growers and the test was very
high, but the sugar company, for some
reason best known to itself, delayed the
starting OF the factories, which resulted in
leaving one-fourth OF the crop frozen In
the ground, and proved to be a total loss
to the farmers.
Now, when we take into consideration
that the beet growers Of 1895 were only a
small part Of the beet growers of 1896, 1t is
very plain to see thai the state cannot
afford to make fish OF one and flesh of
another OF its citizens.
In view of the above facts. surely no
fair minded member of the legislature can
vote to pay the Oxnard company and leave
the beet growers Of 1896 holding the sack.
Yours truly, c. CUSACK.

FRAZIER FILES HIS ANSWER
lakes some Peculiar Allegations In
Defense of Breach of
Promise Suit.

DR.. J. W. Frazier of Honey Creek. Ia.
against whom Miss Leona Mackison Of
Quincy. ILL.,. an evangelist of the United
Brethren church, brought suit for $40, 900
for alleged breach Of promise 10 marry.
yesterday fled in the district court his
answer and a motion to have the trial of
the suit continued until next term.
In his answer DR.. Frazier asserts that
he and Miss Mackison discussed the evils
Of marriage without sincere love and af-
lection between the parties and the mutual
desire for It's bonds. and that they both
agreed that II at any time before marriage
the affection of either Of them was not
wholly for the other, or II the desire Of
either had cooled or abated, the engage
ment was to be declared dissolved. DR..
Frazier further alleges in his answer that
as a result OF an accident Miss Maokison is
unfit physically to nSarry and that he him
self is suffering from tuberculosis Of the
lungs, both OF which facts, he insists are
we'll known to the plaintiff.
The doctor also makes the allegation
that Miss Mackison has on more than one
occasion stated to other persons that she
no longer loved him and would not marry
him under any circumstances, but she die
want his money. Further, that she had also
stated that she would have commenced
the present suit long ago only she had
waited until he had more property.
As ground for having the suit continued
! DR.. FRAZIER asserts he has been unable L
secure certain important witnesses and
that owing to the death OF his attorney
the late Chancellor L. ID. Ross, he had en-,
gagged the services OF Congressman Walter
I. Smith; who would be unable to be pres
ent at this term Of court.

READY TO BURY ITS WIRES
Telephone Company Only Waiting for the
Coming Of Warm Weather,
TALK OF ERECTING EXCHANGE BUILDING
City Attorney RedraftinE Ordinance
Requiring other wires Placed
in CORduIts and VIII BE
Ready in February.

II was announced yesterday that the Ne
braska Telephone company would begin
work in the spring. as soon as the weather
conditions permitted. to place its wires
in underground conduits within the dis
trict prescribed by the recently passed or
dinance. This work will involve, II is
estimated, an outlay OF about $4,000, and
will give employment for many months to
a large number OF men. There is sons
talk Of the company adding to this ex-
~penditure by the construction Of a building
for its telephone exchange. The present
quarters occupied by the company are said
10 be inadequate and unsuitable TO the
increasing business caused by the growth
OF the city.
The location OF the exchange has not
yet been determined upon, but It is under
stood that IL will be in the center OF the
business part of the city and within q
block or two Of the present headquarters.
It is said the company is prepared to ex-
pend $25, 900 to $780, 900 on it's proposed
building for a central telephone exchange
Business men generally lndorse the ac-
ton OF the city council in passing the
conduit ordinance and favor the passage
OF the other ordinance with similar re
qulrements for all telegraph. electric light
and other wires within the prescribed dis
4 trict, SO as to relieve the streets Of the
unslghtly poles and the accompanying net
j work Of wires.
Mayor Morgan is expected home from
Oregon tomorrow. when It is thought he
will at once attach his Official signature
to the ordinance. In view of the fact thai
upward of $50 of the leading business and
professional men Of the city signed the
petition urging the passage of the meas
ure, it Is not deemed likely that the mayor
will hesitate in signing II.
City Solicitor Snyder is at present en-
gagged in redrafting the other ordinance
which will include telegraph, electric light
and the feed wires of the motor company
and expects to have l. in shape to present
to the city council at its meeting in Feb.
