RosEWATER HERE WEDNESDAY
Date Has Been Changed for Sewerage
Meeting to January 10.

The date upon which Andrew Rose
water, city engineer of Omaha will
address the people of Norfolk upon
the proposition of establishing n sew
erage in Norfolk, has been changed
from next Friday night to Wednesday
evening, January 10.
1t is to be hoped that the entire
people of Norfolk will turn out to lis
ten to Mr. Rosewater's address, as the
subject which he will explain in de
tail is a very vital one for Norfolk just
now The question of a sewerage sys.
tenn in Norfolk has been agitated only
during the past few months and there
is much for Norfolk to learn regarding
the proposition. 1t is generally rec.
ogniZed that sewerage would make the
city so much more clean, so much
more healthful and so much more at
tractive, to say nothing of the increase
in property values, that it is desirable
at almost any cost.

AT THE THEATER
An Aristocratic Tramp.

From Thursday Dally.I
Kilroy & Britton's production OF an
Aristocratc Tramp was given at the
Auditorium last night and all were
surprised, as it is good show of the
class. The company carries special
machinery and apparatus to produce
the scenic effects, thus making the
stage settings far ahead OF the aver
age plays that visit Norfolk.
Darlington with his makeup as an
Arstocratic Tramp kept the house In

and is characteristic of certain type
to be found in the large cities both

SUGAR BETS ARE SCARCE
PLANT MOVED FROM NORFOLK
STRIKES BAD LUCK WEST.
LOCKWOOD HAS QUIT COMPANY
T. M. Hull Has Returned From La
mar Colo, Where the Norfolk Sugar
Factory Was Shipped, and He Tells
a Tale Of Woe of Conditions.

r. Nj. Hull is back from Lamar,
Colo, and his report of the sugar Dusi-
ness in the beet district is not encour-
aging. He says that shortage of
beets of course makes a shortage of
sugar j. n. Bundick, who was man
ager of the company when located
here is now in charge of the sales de-
partment and located at Denver Su-
perintendent Lockwood has left the
company but has not disclosed what
he expects to engage in.
The trouble with the beet sugar bust
ness everywhere this year except
among the Mormons in Southern AL
beIta, Canada, is a shortage of the
crop. In southern Alberta they en-
ploy a considerable amount of Chinese
and Japanese labor, and the large EN-
igraton from the old countries brings
considerable cheap labor and workers
who can not afford to farm on large
scale, consequently they take up the
culture of beets which requires but
small capital.
There is also considerable cOntrO-
versy regarding the tariff on sugar
from the Philippines. The MinncapO-
lis Journal had the following peril
nent remarks one day last week VIII ch
is a straw showing which way the wind
blows, and all people interested in the
sweet topic will read it with interest:
Industry Grows Slowly.
THE beet.sugar industry has been
of rather slow growth, and yet it
very important business in this coun-
try. 1t does not appear, however, that
the admission of sugar from the Phil
| ippines at a reduced rate or free duty
would materially increase importa-
ton. The market for sugar from the
Philippines is in the orient, on the
Asiatic coast and in Japan. 1t will
command a better price there when
the producers are able to show to the
consumers in China and Japan that
they can ship their sugar to the United
States, if necessary to get a good
price. That's why the Filipinos want
us to take off the duty on their sugar;
not because they expect to sell any
considerable amount here.
"One reason why beet sugar fails to
command much support for its claim
to protection, even against the pro-
ducts Of our island possessions, is the
large control of the industry by the
sugar trust. The consumer is slow
to respond to a demand for protection
for an industry so thoroughly dominat-
ed by the trust as the beet-sugar busi-
ness is coming to be. At the same
time, it is not safe to say that it is
not an important industry, at least
prcspectively. 1t has not been seri-
ously damaged by the concessions
granted to Cuban and Porto Rican pro-
ducers, and we do not believe that the
reduction of the duty on sugar from
the Philippines, or even admission
free, would affect it materially"

South Omaha, Jan. 3.-The new year
opens with moderate receipts OF cat

demand for all kinds, prices advanced
Is to CSC compared with last week.
This advance applies to butcher stock
and nearly all kinds of stockers and
feeders, especially those of good quail

We have had a general snow storm
throughout the western country, al
though the weather is mild and the
snow fall moderate and is generally
beneficial. The winter up to date has
been very satisfactory and all kinds of
live stock are in good condition.
We look for some increase in the
receipts the coming week and would
not be surprised to see little reac'
tion from the high point, but we still
have confidence in the market for all
kinds Of fat cattle and would not ad'
wise shipping habitat cattle, unless
they are of poor quality. In the alb
sence of quotations, we quote prices
for the general run of cattle and butch
er stock from steady to 15c lower than
Chicago. Strictly choice cattle, how
ever are still selling proportiOnately
better in Chicago than here. We be,
lieve this condition will change later
in the season.
Hogs.-The hog trade continues sat
isfactory to the selling interest. With
moderate supplies and a strong de
mand, prices have been well sustained
and the bulk of the hogs this week
have sold from $5O5 to S. Is, with the
top at $525. Our prices this week
have not been quite in line with the
Chicago market, but with the in
creased receipts that we anticipate
next week, we believe the markets will
come together again, and, therefore
advise our readers to watch the
"river" markets carefully and always
send their hogs where they can gel
the best results. We give our per

business as well as the others, and

the railroads of the United States, the
average varying from 4i.3 to 20 miles
an hour. Among them were two high.
ly sensational records, and smgularly
enough both of these were through the
west over Union Pacific lines. These
were the runs by "Death valley Scott,
the miner who was supposed to have
been shot few days ago, and the

FAMOUS III NAVAL ANNALS.
Death of the Builder of the COnfed-
crate IrOncIad Merrimac.

From the Springfield Republican.
The maker of the celebrated Confed-
crate ironclad Merrimac. Col. John
Mercer Brooke. .has just died at Lexing-
ton, Va, forty-two years after he and
Ericsson revolutionized naval warfare.
Brooke had been a young officer in the
United States navy when the civil war
began. and was noted for his ingenuity.
Following Virginia, his native State out
OF the Union, he Immediately devoted
himself to devising a new type of iron
clad war ship for the COnfederacy.
France and England had already pro-
duced ironclads, but they were simply
old-fashioned steam frigates sheathed
over with iron. Brooke In his design cut
away the high free board and masts and
introduced the novel irOnclad steam ram.
1t was a wonderful success, as the Mer-
rimac's easy destruction of the wooden
squadron of the Federals at Hampton
Roads fully demonstrated. Only the sud
den appearance of the unique ironclad
Monitor, designed and built by Ericsson
at the same time that Brooke was work
ing. checked the Merrimacs conQuering
course. Col. Brooke has never received.
perhaps. enough credit for his perform
ance in producing that crude ironclad,
considering It merely in its relation to
the development of naval warfare.

4 GOOD GAME TO PLAY.

Lots are drawn in order TO decide who
shall be the grasshopper; the ants then
seat themselves in e. circle, while the
grasshopper writes on piece of paper
the name of grain or food which the
grasshopper might be supposed 70 like

would any Of you kindly give me some
food?"

says the first ant.
Thank you: that is Of no use 20 me, %
replies the grasshopper, and goes on to
the next player.
As soon as any one offers the grain of
food which the grasshopper has written
down, the paper must be produced. and
the one Who guessed the word pays for
felt and becomes grassh0pper.
If no one guesses the word. the grass
hopper pays forfeit. The game then
goes on in the same way. except that a
different question is asked on the second
round, as follows:
''Neighbor," says the grasshopper. q
have eaten abundantly and would have
a dance Which would you recommend?
A waltz, a polka. quadrille, &c, are
suggested. and when this question has
gone the round, the gTasshOpper asks
what music he can dance &c. and the ants
suggest the music of the violin, the piano
the cornet &c.
Then the grasshOppeT says he IS tired
of dancing and wishes for a bed, and the
ants offer him moss, straw, grass, &c.
to lie upon.
I should sleep very comfortably" the
grasshOpper says. but I am in fear OF
being bounced upon by a hungry bird
What bird have most reason 10 fear?'
The ants answer, the rock, the lark, the
cuckoo, &c.
In each round, if no ant has guessed
the word that the grasshopper has writ
ten on his paper, the latter must pay
another forfeit
When the game is ended (at the play
ers' pleasure) the fOrfeits that have beer
paid must be redeemed by the grasshop.

SAWDUST WORTH SOMETHING.
Too Valuable Now to Be Put to the
Uses 1t Once Served.

From the Kansas City Post
Many are the uses OF saWdust. In the
days when the sawdust wagon made its
numbering rounds through the streets OF
most large cities two commercial uses OF
sawdust were TO sprinkle floors and TO
shelter lead pipes from cold and glass
bottles from bTeakage.
Near every saw mill was a vat for the
sawdust, and it was carried away free
by any one who had any use for it. In
this era Of the use of by-prOducts saw
dust has a commercial value. 1t IS no
longer given away, but sold.
one Of the recent uses Of sawdust is
its distfIlation, resulting in acetic acid,
wood naphtha, wood alcohol, and tar.
Sawdust may also be burned IN special
furnaces or mixed with other materials
for fuel.
Sawdust, when saturated with chemicals,
can be effectively used in the manufacture
of explosives, but it is more particularly
in demand in paper making tEan for any
other purpose. Such a thing as sawdust
on the floor Of room as a substitute for
a rug or carpet is now practically IN
known. Sawdust has Joined sand in this
respect.
Cotton felt has been substituted for saw
dust as a. nonconductor Of cold in winter
Gas can be made from sawdust 1t IS
also used for briquettes. /. E., blocks OF
compressed sawdust and wood chips
burned for fuel. Even in the protection
of glassware against bTeazage sawdust
has been superseded by excelsior, sawdust
being regarded as too valuable for such
