no little trouble 10 cali this convention and
to get all the counties TO act, but the earn

Since our last, our community has been
visited by death which took to its cold en-
brace Grandpa Smith. Alter years OF
suffering he passed away on the Goth.
Among our new arrivals we notice a
young lady who is stopping at the Minnich
House. She viii call Alvin papa sometime
in the future. And young man stopping
with Mr.. johnson. Mr.. J. says he thinks
the boy is Republican, though he has not
inquired into his political views.
Well, Mr.. Editor, one of those weddings
that We spoke OF 60 long ago, did come of
andis passed. Joe shippley and Miss NJ.
Smith were :quietly married last week, so
that cake that arose in ourvisions as high as
the sky toppled, crumbled and vanished.
Such is life. We expected to be at that
wedding, and invested quarter OF a dol

we are made TO exclaim, OF gratitude

The late rains have insured us rs large a
corn crop as can be raised in America. We

was good, oat crop immense and our corn

We somewhat admire Judge John Mar

letter TO the Manhattan folks as rather gauzy
The suggestion that John Martin would
give up or forget his politics is absurd in
the extreme. The reference TO '.political
Judges in Mr.. Martins is of the came ma
ture, only not quite so base as that made by
the red-nosed people who claim to be sin

clap-trap. To say that n judge is political,
takes an interest In politics, or participates
in political matters, so far from being lerog-
atory TO his character as n judge, ought to

who has intelligence enough TO be a judge,
owes it TO help form a correct public opin-
ion on all subjects. IL he he does not do so

SUGAR FROM SORGHUM.

The Sterling Baiietia printed an extra on
the sth, giving the following satisfactory
information:
The first sugar OF the season was made
yesterday at the Kansas Sugar Works at thii
place. The ''strike" or pan full aggregated
about 1900 pounds. The yield is about
sixty pounds per ton of cane or between 500
and 600 pounds of sugar acre, besides come
fifty gallons OF excellent molasses. This
sugar is made by the Weber & Scoveli pat.
ent process, under the personal supervision
OF Mr.. Scovell.
The Kansas Sugar Works are operated by
a stock company composed Of Illinois and
Massachusetts capitalists. The following
figures will be found interesting.
Cost of building and machinery, sa5, 900 +:
power OF steam boilers, $50 horsepower
capacity of crusher, $50 tons of cane per
day; capacity Of defecators, evaporators,
bone filters, ETC., equal to that Of the crush
er; capacity Of vacuum pan, 5000 pound
of sugar six times per day. or q, 900 pounds
per day; capacity Of sugar wagons, mixer
and eentrifugals, equal to that Of the vacu.
UNI pan. Number of hands employed, GO.
Aggregate of weekly pal-roll, $500. Mum.
Der OF farmers who have contracted and
are delivering cane, 40. Number Of acres
Of cane contracted, 1900. Number Of men
engaged in hauling and cutting cane, IS.
Price paid for cane delivered, 81 per ton.
Wages paid by farmers to cane cutters, sl.5O
per day with board.
This years crop Of 800 acres Of cane will,
according to the above figures, yield $50, 900
pounds of sugar worth 100000, and over
200 gallons Of syrup worth S3O, 900, or an
aggregate value Of $4,000.
When it is remembered that this cane is
grown upon land, most of which the gov.
ernment recently gave to the farmers under
the homestead law, and that there are mil
lions of acres here adapted to its growth,
the source OF the future sugar supply is not
far to seek. Verify, Kansas is ut the begin
ming Of tremendous boom with Sterling

and the Kansas Sugar Company as the chief
