Senator Plumb was among the state
fair visitors to the city. l came on
him as be stood, one foot in the gutter
and the other on the curb, insisting
that New England men didn't know
what Kansas wool-growers wanted.
The Senator shook hands with me, said
he remembered me quite well, met ne
in Topeka, or Leavenworth, or Wash
ington, he didn't know nor didn't care
which, but he wanted to call my atten-
ton to unconscious bursts of speed on
the part Of Chicago pedestrians when
they heard . bell ring. l explained
that the bell was = warning that the
bridge was going to turn, and that when
they heard the preliminary tap people
ran to get across.
MI. Plumb, when you see him at a
little distance, looks like . boy with q
prevailing disposition to drop you = sly
wink. but the distance does him injus-
ties because At close range his face has
maturity. age and strength. And when
he discovered that the Chicago horses
attached to street ears or wagons broke,

Col. Bat Masterson, well known
character in the west, has discarded his
former illegitimate business and has
adopted newspaper writing as pro-
fession. While Col. Masterson's liter
ary illusions do not have moral or re-
lisious tendencies. they are chaste pro-
auctions in q literary way. The fine
artistic style in which Col Bat yields
the pen is adding fame to his already
illustrious name. Col. Masterson is
now associate editor of the Ford
County Globe, and the last number of
that paper bears ample evidence Of this
statement. The Globe has long need
ed brainy editor, and the substitution
of brains for adipose tissue is certainly
commendable, and must be highly ap-
preciated by the readers of that journal.
As newspaper writer Bat is gaining
distinction.

According to the report published in
the Kansas City Journal, in every
practical analytical test made of the
common sorghum-cane and sugar cane.
of the West Indies (the class common
ly grown in Louisiana), the sorghum
has proven to be superior in saccharine
qualities. The saccharine principle Of
sugar and sorghum is not taken from
the earth, but it is absorbed from the
atmosphere. The crystal or ordinary
brown sugar from the sorghum cane,
examined through microscope, shows
every crystal to be clear as glass, three.
cornered and pointed also prismatic.
It will turn out greater per cent. Of
white granulated sugar than any sugar
made by any other process.

interruptions, bad men, whose chief
object was revenge. They could,
under guise of public protectors and
avengers Of public wrongs, murder
their personal enemies and go unwhip-
ped of justice. Those now living in
Laramie who were among the residents
OF the town during the first year Of its
existence are unanimous in the declara-
ton Of sincere wish that it may never
again be their misfortune to live under
such trying and terrible circumstances.

There was a carnival in Dodge Mon
day evening-(and the Globe man was
not invited, and he is hurt thereat)-
in which some Of the boys held a devil
try, so to speak. Well, we are not
commencing any such business; but
the Globe says at this time Mr.. Sugh-
rue was in his ''little bed" thus giving
the inference that Mr.. Sughrue is
too nice to stay up nights or run with
the boys" Well wager the Globe
man 8 hat that Pat was not asleep at
the time mentioned by the Globe-we
will wager that Pat was looking over
the bed covers, and with both ears
wide open, wondering what in Sam
Blazes was going on. P. S. Pat was
up at daylight to find out what had
been done.

A prominent cattle man residing in
Wichita is just in from the Territory,
where he has extensive interests. He
reports the cattle in the Territory and
southwestern Kansas in prime condi-
ton. Feed upon the range is excel
lent, are cattle are fat. There has
been no frost to hurt the range thus
far. With the amount of millet and
prairie hay now in the stack, with the
amount of shelter which has been built
by stockmen, there is little excuse for
loss of stock during the coming winter.
Stock of all kinds is very high.

ing a scarcity of that article this win
ter. An open winter is confidently pre-
dicted, and anticipatory thereto the re-
mains Of last winters crop is sparingly

For fifteen minutes the sharp crack
from the deadly revolvers made music
to the weeping and wailing of the
women, and the shouts and muttered
curses of the men. The smoke from
the pistols gathered in a cloud, and
hung like pail over the heads Of the
doomed, as if to shut out from the 81 ght
of the angels the dark scene below. The
roughs were overpowered, and the re-
suits were three men killed-one of the
committee, one a member of the band
of music, and one noted desperado-
and about fifteen men wounded, some
quite seriously, and three Of the leading
roughs, Con Wagner, Asa Moore and
Big Ned we're taken from the place and
hung at the same place where the "Kid'
was hung in August. About sun rise
the next morning Big Steve, another
noted robber and murderer, was captur-
ed and hung to a telegraph pole near
where South B street crosses the rail-

larger portion or the roughs left for
''fairer fields and pastures new, while
others joined the vigilantes and became
the most rampant and blatant advocates
of order, virtue and honesty.
The vigilance committee, Is originally
formed, had now served its chief pur-
pose in Kidding the town of its worst
characters, and majority Of the really
good men in the committee soon dropped
out of the organization. This, of course,
left it to large degree in the hands Of
