The BET Senator Jones Won.
Denver Tribune.

Early in Hayes administration,
Rosewater, Of the Omaha Bee, un-
earthed a rotten ring in Omaha that
was robbing the government by a
series of land swindles. After having
secured suficient evidence to convince
the administration OF the thefts and
convict the thieves, Rosewater visited
Hayes at Washington aud laid the
matter before him. The President
promised that the ring should be i'm
mediately cleared out. Rosewater
told Senator Jones the whole story,
CONCENTRATING himself at the same
time that his efforts would result in
the speedy apprehension OF the swim
dlers. Nothing more was thought
about the trouble by the Senator un.
til, two years later, he met Rosewatei

said the Senator. II suppose your
millennium is Gomez" Business and
all that sort of thing is all right, but
aheml WE'LL" Here, have a cigar, ,
said the Senator, "and tell me all
about it," Rosewater lighted the
cigar slowly, and then mysteriously
invited the Senator into a quiet cor
ner. "Do you remember that land
swindling scheme at Omaha that |
went TO see Hayes about, two years
ago." he commenced. YES" replied
the Senator, knowing exactly what
was coming Aud you know he
promised to clean those fellows QUIZ
Yes" "Well, he has never done it,
Nothing strange about that; tell me
about the interview you had with him
at the time" 1.-THE interview was all
right-just as straight a could be.
When l commenced to enter into the
details Of the steals, he went to a
pigeon hole in his desk, took out a
scratch tab, and then telling me to
proceed, wrote down questions. an

confident that he meant business. Now,

SUGAR FROM N.
Practical Success Of the ImpOr-
Iant Enterprise at Champaign,
Hl.-White sugar,

Champaign nl.) Cor. Chicago Tribune.
For several years chemists and
others have been experimenting
with all varieties OF sorghum, with a
view to the profitable manufacture of
sugar, but until this season without
any practical result. Last season
Profs. Weber and Scoyell, then of the
Industrial University, made a series
Of experiments with sorghum, aud
succeeded in making what they be-
lieyed a new discovery in the art of.
manufacturing sugar, and took out
letters patent on the process. For
this act they lost their positions, the
reasons for which have already been
published in the Tibune. The gen.
tlemen named enlisted the attention
Of a number Of local capitalists, and
.rduring the summer a large factory,
with the most approved crushing and
e%vaporating machinery, has been
erected at a cost of $4,000, being the
only one in the United States. Three
hundred acres Of orange and amber
cane were planted; but owing to the
backward season and exceedingly low
temperature, it was not fit to work
until about two weeks ago. The yield
Of cane is from five to twenty tons per
acre, and the company now pays 81 per
ton for cane stripped and topped deliv-
cred at the factory. The machinery
is now running night and day, and
With the most gratifying results.
Only one centrifugal machine was put
in, as the company did not expect to
make a marketable sugar; but greatly
to the surprise of all, the product
turns out a white sugar equal to "a"
and sells readily at 81 cents at whole
sale. The capacity of the works is
about ten acres per day.
The chief trouble with sorghum
heretofore has been that the grape
sugar (%glucose) prevented the cane
sugar from crystalizing. This diff
Guilty has been overcome, as has also
the rank taste of both sugar and syrup.
Later in the season the works will be
used to manufacture glucose from the
sorghum seed grown on 800 acres, the
product from which it is expected will
nearly or quite pay for the cost of
growing the cane and manufacturing
the sugar. The works will be inn
proved next season by the addition of
more evaporation and boilers, and,
with a favorable season for the growth
OF cane, much better results are ex-
pected. The only question to be
solved now is: Will it pay2 This can
be told when the present crop has
been exhausted and expenses footed
up. Local grocers here are selling the
sugar iD large quantities.

From 'The Funeral Tent of an Egyptian
oaeen."
Ii was desirable in the interest OF
science 10 ascertain whether the mum
my bearing the monogram of Thothmes
III. was really the remains OF that
monarch. 1t was, therefore, unrolled.
The Inscriptions on the bendaees
established beyond all doubt the fact
that it Vas indeed that most distin-
gulshed OF Kings of the brilliant
eighteenth dynasty, aud once more
after an interval Of thirty. six centu-
ries, human eyes gaxsd on the features
OF the man who had conquered Syria
aud Cyprus and Ethiopia, and had
raised Egypt TO the highest pinnacle
OF her power, so that it was said that
10 her reign she placed her frontiers
where she pleased. The spectacle was
OF hriet duration; the remains proved
to be in SO fragile a state that there
was only time to take a hasty photo
graph, and then the features erumbled
to pieces and vanished like an appari-
ton, and so passed away from human
view forever. The director told me
that he felt such remorse at the result
that he refused to allow the unrolling
of Rameses the Great, for fear Of a
similar catastrophe. Thothmes III
was the man who overran Palestine
with his armies two hundred years
before the birth Of Moses, aud has left
US a diary Of his adventures, for, like
Caesar, be was author as we'll as SOL
der. II seems strange that though
the body m~ouldered to dust the flowers
with which it had been wreathed were
so wonderfully preserved that even
their color could be distinguished and
they looked as if only recently dried,
yet a flower is the very type of ephem
eral beauty that pasSeth away and is
gone almost as soon as born. A wasp,
which had been attracted BY the floral
treasures and had entered the coffin at
the moment Of closing, was found dried
up but still perfect having lasted better
than the King, whose emblem OF SOW.
ereignty it had once been; now it was
there to mock the embalmer's skill,
aud to add point to the sermon on the
vanity of human pride and power
preached to us by the contents Of that
coffin. MEMORABLE is the decree,
