That Sugar Meeting.

1t will be remembered that the meet
ing of the citizens interested in the sub
ject of sorghum sugar factory at this
place, was adjourned until Saturday.
Nov. 10th. Now if our people expect
TO build a plant here they should meet
and commence the preliminary arrange
ments. But talk alone will not do the
work; no amount of blowing that
the newspapers can do will build the
plant. Somebody must be prepared 10
put money into it, and not just a little
money, but a considerable pile of mon-
ey. 1t it is decided to establish works
that will cost S6O,O 600. it is safe TO say
that $4,000 IN cash will have to be pro-
vided within six months. The machin-
cry and the building will cost hard dol
lars, not promises to pay.
so, we say, If our people want a
plant they may as well organize their
company now, and unless the stock
holders expect to put money into it,
there is no use of talking about it fur
Their. 1t will not do to talk about start
ing the enterprise with popular SUBJ
scription paper. Six or eight men who
have the capital and who would be the
beneficiaries, we're the establishment a
success, are the one who should take
the initiative in getting the company
started.

HUDSON Get Nine Years.

John Hudson, the professional horse
thief and Jail breaker, was last Satur-
day sentenced TO nine years imprisOn-
ment in the Kansas penitentiary, seven
years for horse stealing and two years
for jail breaking. lie was taken to
the penitentiary saturday afternoon, by
Sheriff Stevens.
Hudson has been horse thief since
he was mere child, it is said, and it is
certain that he has been regularly in
the business FOR three years, and he is a
young man, yet He stole horses in
this county from y. G.. Rowley, a year
ago last spring and was captured by Ii.
y. Bailey, III the southern part OF this
county. When he escaped from jail.
the first time, he stole horses from Mr..
Bailey. He had horses in his posses
sion when he was last captured in the
Indian Territory.
Had he been tried for all his ofTenses.
he would likely have been sentenced to
about 81 years Imprisonment. AS is.
on plea of guilty, he gets years.

Mayor HEWITT yesterday signed the ordi-
nance requiring the Twenty-third Street
Railroad Company tn place conductors on
oil the cars of their line. He recommended,
however, that the corporation be allowed
until Dec. LIST to comply with the ordinance,
the President of the road having assured him
that it would take until then to obtain new
cars.
The Aldermen concurred in this sugges-
tion. But why should not conductors be
placed at once on the cars now in use Why
should not the drivers be Immediately re.
leased from the necessity of attending to con.
