Knv. 14 A . nrwiol fmm I -Omaha says: The growth of tho beet-sugar industry in this state has attracted tho attention of the sugar trust, which has already taken steps to prevent tho sale of Ne braska sugar. Jobbers and dealers hare . been notified that it they tell the refined product of Nebraska factories the trust will decline to 'sell them the cheaper grades, which are not manufactured by theOxnards. The result of this inhibi tion is that over $100,000 worth of Nebraska-made sugar is stored in ware houses in Omaha. The matter has been laid before the Manufacturers' & Con sumer Association, and efforts will be made to get western jobbers to agree to handle the Nebraska product regardless of consequences. There is a strong home patronage sentiment in the state which will favor the Nebraska sugar-makers. It is estimated that tho year's output in the Grand Island and Norfolk sugar factories will reach, if not exceed, a value .of JSOO.OOO, or nearly one-third of the to tal amount consumed in the state.

Domergue, a wine merchant, suddenly become insane and killed a number of people. lie shot his ..wife and mother, and then opened lire upon people in the streets, killing three, and wounding several others. The mad man then barricaded himself in a house and fired upon the gen d'armes who sur rounded the bunding. flust Act Quickly, Chicago, Nov. 14. The Associated Press today received the following from Dr. M. II. Manga, the Syrian leader of the Society of Ethical Culture, in this city, and one of the roost eminent Arme nians in the United States: "Very recent massacres of Armenians, reported from Trebizcnd, Erzeroum, Mooch and Diarbekir, fully confirm the words spoken by the Turkish commissioner-general to the World's Columbian Exposition, Hakki Bey, "If we (Turks) cannot have the country, we shall see that yon (Armenians) don't get it." There is very little doubt that the Turks believe their days are numbered, and are, therefore, determined to exter minate the Armenians before they them selves have been finally and forever driyen out of the civilized world. If Europe is to act at all, it must act at once, for soon it will be to late to under . take the salvation of Armenia, as there will be no Armenia to save." Japan's Inaction. Seoul, Corea, Nov. 14. The policy of inaction now being pursued by Japan is creating distrust as to the sincerity of her intentions to set right the wrongs done by the coup d'etat of October 8. Mr. Waeber, tho Russian charge d'affaires, lias notified the Japanese minister that if tho king is not restored to his rights by Japan, action will be taken by Russia. The situation in Corea at present is , critical. Eight Assassins Executed. New Yoek, Nov. 14. A special to the Herald from St. Petersburg says : Special dispatches from Vladivostock to the Noroe Vremya say that owing to the presence of tho British fleet at Foo Chow the viceroy has executed eight assassins. Another question has arisen in a mis understanding between the English and Japanese. It has its origin in the illegal examination of a British merchant ship by the Japanese, who were seeking the fugitive chief of tho Black Flags. Two Salem Failures. Salem. Nov. 14. Tho Williams & England Banking Company suspended business today, making the first suspen sion of the kind over recorded against Salem. The following notice was posted on the door this morning by II. P. Mc- Nary, cashier of the bank. "Having reason to expect unusual de mands from depositors, and in order to treat all creditors fairly and equitably, this bank is closed for tho present. It is my opinion all depositors will bo paid in full." As a sequel to tho bank failure, thofol- owing announcement was posted on tho door of the State Insurance office at the closing hour last evening by Edmond C. Giltner, manager: "Owing to the closing of the Williams & England Banking Company's Bank, in which our funds are kept, and to lack of available- funds to meet tho claims now Decerning uue, ana in order to protect the interests of policy holders, the Stato Insurance Company will suspend busi ness and ask for tho appointment of a re ceiver. The insurance company filed an appli cation in the circuit court this afternoon for the appointment of a receiver, and E. C. Giltner, the secretary and manager, was appointed. H. P. McNary was ap pointed receiver of the Lank. The liabilities of the bank, aside" from its capital, amount to $130,000; assets, $275,000. The liabilities of the State In surance Company, aside from tbe capital 6fock, amount to $175,000; assets, $374,- IO0. Confidence is complete here that tho creditors will be paid in full in loth cases. Tbe bank was not one of general commercial deposit, and will not affect general business in this city a particle. Some stale money is deposited in the bank, Treasurer Metecban was unable to state the amount today, but Eaidif ttiere was any loss he would make it good. Salem's city treasurer hod over $4100 oa deposit. President George Williams and J. A. Baker are sureties. County Treasurer Minto withdrew a balance of the county's money when he was appointed treasurer. It is officially stated that President Williams ia indebted to the bank over $60,000 in stock. William England is a large stockholder, and J. A. Baker, Dr. J. A. Richardson and II. P. McNarv also held stock. The suspension was precipitated by inability to honor a check drawn by the State Insurance Company. It has been known the bank was in straits for sev eral weeks. Considerable money ad vanced on hops, on which it was unable to realize, added to the burden. The income was insufficient to meet the de mands. Slow collections and insufficient earn ings, coupled with the failure of its treasurer to honor its checks, account for the necessity of a receiver for the in surance company. The checks out standing against the treasurer drawn by the company amount to $500. The judgments outstanding against the com pany aggregate $2500. The Monroe Doctrine. Loxnos, Nov. 15. The Chronicle this (Friday) morning, publishes an inter view with the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, in which ho expresses views npon the subject of the Monroe doctrine. After going into tho history of tbe doctrine, in detail, Mr. Lodge said : "Nobody in America ever pretended that tbe Monroe doetrine is a proposi tion of international law. It is a declara tion of policy, and one which the people in America have always sustained, and, in my opinion, always will sustain, as of vital importance to tho people of the United States. Its bearing upon tho position ofjthe United States in the matter oLthe Venezuelan dispulo is very simple. Each country is entitled to what its predecessors had, and no more, for no new right8.have been acquired in the in terval by either people. The question is, What was the true boundary between tho Dutch and Spanish possessions? "To refuse arbitration and to seize and hold by force disputed territory would open the doors, if England pursued such a course, to any other European power that desired to acquire additional terri tory in Central America and South Amer ica. It would fatally infringe on the Monroe doctrine. The people of the United States cannot regard it otherwise than as a movement hostile to them. "The Monroe doctrine, it should be re membered, it is quite distinct from any idea of reparation for injuries by tho subjects of foreign powers at the hands of the governments or people of Central American and South American republics. With such matter we have nothing to do, but we cannot permit, under covor of reparation or in any other way, new territory to be acquired by any European power. . "ThuB far tho Monroe doctrine has re mained a mero statement, found .only in President Monroe's message, but it is be lieved both houses of tho next congress will declare it to lie an integral part of tho policy of the United States, to be maintained at all hazards. American opinion is practically unanimous as to tho absolute necessity of upholding the doctrine for the welfare of the country. Moreover, I believe that Fngland recog nizes our attitndo as reasonable and proper." William T, Stead, editor of tho Rovicw of Roviows, having seen the interview with Senator Lodge, replied at Itogth to the statement made. England, he said, would nover consent to any veto being placed on tho freest possible expansion of tho Pacific ocean trado and settle ments and the colonizing of the western world. He insisted that it would bo absurd to submit the Venezuelan ques tion to arbitration, especially with the example .of the termination of tbe Ala bama claims as an object lesson. In conclusion, he said he recognized the fact that Americans wero quite in a frame of micd to iuvent uew doctrines if they found tho MoDroo doctrine did not apply to Venezuela. Editorially discussing the interviow with Lodge, the Chronicle this morning says: "Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of stato for the colonies, is not likely to attempt to play the role of Napoleon in Venezuela until the United States formally pro claims a protectorate over all the South American republics. Wo are bound to protect our citizens. Failing tho estab lishment 'of such a protectorate we do not see how looso policies, like three of the Monroe doctrine, can stop us from protecting tho lives and property of English people in the new world." Bible in Public Schools. Chicago, Nov. 15. A petition bearing CO.OOO signatures, asking tiiat the read ing of the bible bo restored to the public schools,' will be presented soon to the board of education. The petition has been prepared and circulated by the Woman' Educational Union of Chicago. The union held a meeting last night to consider the outlook for tbe movement. Reports from the committee having charge of the petition were encouraging, and it was announced that matters were in such shape that the document could be presented to tho board of education in a short time. Mrs. C. F. Kimball read a pair on the subject of reading tho Bible in public, schools, giving a history of the work done by tbe union since its organization. She quoted letters of endorsement from Monsignore Satolli and oiher prominent and high churchmen. There were also letters from Bishop Fallows, President Rogers, of tho Northwestern university, and President Harper of Chicago univer sity. In his letter Monsignore Satolli ex pressed solicitude for the success of tbe movement, endorsed the labor of the union and expressed himself in favor of the reading of tbe Bible. "I would like to say," said Mrs. Kim ball, "that we have received a great many communications from the Catholic clergy and in no instanco have they opposed the move, so long as it is strictly non-sectarian in its nature." It is the plan of the union to prepare select passages of Scripture for use in the public schools, which shall be entirely non-sectarian. The selections are to be made by a committee composed of dif ferent religious denominations. A Strange People. Ciucaoo, Nov. 15. Professor Fred erick Starr, of tho university of Chicago, will leave December 20 for Guatemala, to be gone about threo months. "I will first go to Guadalajara, Mex ico," he said, "to Btudy a submerged city in Lake Chapala, and the 'Mountain Idiots' inhabiting tbo mountains near by. This is a race of dwarfs which has been studied very little, nud my inten tion is to try to determine whether these people are racially small or have beconio so by disease. I will have the assistance of Archbishop Gillow, an authority on the dwarf races. In tho interior of Guatemala tho pigmies are said to livo in caves and holes in tho ground, and speak languages not known to white men." Serious Accident. Samuel Smecd this morning while reaching over n banister of the second story of Gaddis' wagon shop, to pick apples from n trco standing close by, fell adistancoof 14 feet, hurling his back and bruising him otherwise. Ho had to have help to get homo. Dr. Coffman wob called and rendered him such assistance as required. No bones appeared to bo broken. At last reports Mr. Srr.eed was ' resting quite comfortably.

Subscribe for tho Plaindealek. FUNEREAL. The funeral of T. J. Kearney, Jr., Fri day was very largely attended. There were not less than three hundred persona in line of procession. The funeral rites were held at tbe family residence on Stephens street, conducted by Rev. T. N. Wilson, rector of the Episcopal church of this city. He also read prayers at the grave and made a short address, calling the attention to the uncertainty of life's tenure and admonishing his hearers to prepare for death. The order of procession was, first, A Company, O. N. G. ; second, members of the Fire Department; third, Trainmen; fourth, hearse; fifth, family of deceased; sixth, citizens in carriages and on foot, making a very imposing procession. The pall bearera were Harry Slocum, Fred Haynes, A. T. Morian, E. Everton, Wm. Carroll, Jr., and Boy McCIallea. After the casket was lowered into the grave the members of Company A, O. N. G., of which he was a member, fired three volleys ever the grave in honor of their deceased comrade, Captain Hamlin commanding. The bugler, Bert Benja min, then sounded "taps," Bignifyiag Rest, Comrade. These services were performed in an impressive and solemn manner. An improvised choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee." When the- grave was filled, the ladies, friends and neighbors came forward with a profusion of flowers and completely covered the grave with flotal offerings. We notice several elaborately wrought designs in flowers and their contributors: A beautiully constructed cross was presented by the members of the fire de partment, who were were present in a body ; a large disk wrought with flowers with a monogram, "U. H. U." in center, by Umpqua Hose Company, of which he was a member; a lantern, tastefully fash ioned of various colors, by Mrs. H. D. Graves; gates'ajar, skillfully constructed, by Misa Snow Autenreith and Mrs. Will Madison ; a beautifully formed star by the Misses Carrie M. Sykes and Mabel Elliott of Portland; a superb wreath by Maurice Abraham and Dexter Rice of Portland, and a large number of flowers wrought "in "various designs by Company A. Many young friends of the decased contributed beautiful boqueta to lay up on the last testing place of this esteemed young man, so suddenly torn from their society. Each of his young companions seemed deeply moved by the sorrowful event they were witnessing, and" truly they might be. It was really a sad and touching scene. This noble young man, just entering upon the stage of manhood with aspira tions and a laudable ambition to carve out for himself a distinction in life's duties, and with high hopes of an achievement, is suddenly and violently torn from his relatives, companions and friends and made to pass the dark por tals of death. It is sad indeed; and the heartfelt sympathies of the entire com munity are meted out to the bereaved family in this dark hour of inconsolable grief. But such is life. TVe are beset by dangers on every hand. We know not what the morrow may bring forth. Today we rejoice, tomorrow our hearts are wrung with grief. Joy and grief follow each other in quick succession. In the midst of life we are in death. But, while lips of love may kiss the pallid brow, the heart will yearn with sorrow, and when Death lays his palsy ing hand upon those we love, and re moves them from our sight forever, the soul will be inconsolable. The Grave is victorious and Death has a sting, but Hope bends o'er us his gilded bow and the dark clouds of sorrow will roll by and tho eye of faith relying in a reunion beyond, cheers the sorrow ing soul. Aladin's Lamp. At Churchill, Woolley & McKenzie is presented a grand sight. It is a wilder ness of lamps. Lamps to Buit every body. We will not vouch that Alad in's wonderful lamp is there. But if it is not it is a wonder. Call and see the wonderful display of beautiful lamps. That affable clerk, Sam Sykes, will ex hibit them to you and expatiate upon their good qualities, and not grumbla if you don't purchase. City Treasurer's Notice.
