C0NWAY's SUGAR PLANT.
Winfield Courier.

w lnuelu SOuIleT-
DR.. Emroy was at Conway Springs
Monday. He put in several hours ex.
amining the sorghum sugar plant
there. He says the people over there
are wild with the success of their fac
tory. 1t cost them S45. 900, completed
readr for business. They began July,
18th last Oil Amber cane, variety
ripening by that date: Later on they
began on the late black top cane and
kept running until December 1st.
During this time they manufactured
l5O to 200 tons of cane daily, or about
1000 acres. They paid sl.75 per ton.
A ton will make So pounds of sugar.
besides good deal of molasses. Fol-
this sugar they got at wholesale 6 cts.
a pound; then the State gave them a
bounty of 2 cents q pound. The low.
est average per acre of cane reported
was ten tons and the highest Is tons.
The average is said to be IA tons. This
gives the raiser an average product OF
S21, 80 an acre, which is better thar he
could do on any other crop known to
this climate. The cane crop never
fails and takes less than half the at
tention that corn or wheat requires

Emroy has left a small box of sugar al

says the cane obtained tbereabouts is
the best he has found ia this country,

The sugar is a very light brown and
no sorghum taste can be detected. The
sugar industry in Kansas is no longer
an experiment. Winfield should take
action at once toward obtaining large
plant. This is a subject that the
Chamber of Commerce should give Sc.
rIous consideration at once.

what startled to read the record of the
outbreak at Walhala, Miss Oh the Ia
An associated press dispatch from tina
point says:
There was terrible riot last night al
this place, and today twelve white
men and $50 negroes lie dead as re-
suit.
For a long time there has been much
i'll feeling between the whites and
blacks at this place, aggravated by the
impertinence of the latter, and yester.
day the two elements became involved
in a quarrel which ended in great
loss of life.
A negro and white man became en-
gagged in a quarrel and negro was
killed.
This was an excuse for an assault
and Immediately black horde swept
down upon the whites, who were great

fight to the death the whites pre-
pared to receive their black assailants,
and when the battle was ended it was
found that twelve white men and over
$50 negroes had been killed.

NEW MILLINERY TRIMMINGS

Never were the trimmings used on
hats and bonnets more varied than at
present. Even ribbons, which have
long been the most favored garniture,
are displayed in an endless variety of
new and beautiful designs and make.
Watered ribbons are now superseded
by rich ribbon velvets in all widths.
There are many new and rich fancy
ribbons, Oriental patterns on plain
grounds of all the new shades, with
threads of gold and silver woven in the
patterns. These last are chiefly used
as bands 10 the crowns of hats and
boane.s, and are a pretty contrast to
full bows Of ribbon and velvet. APP
ropos of bows, an entire change.has
taken place; full, compact styles have
succeeded the wild looking high loops
and ends, and are manifest improve
ment in this peculiar trimming. Sew
eral French hats have bows on them
entirely of the rosette character. A
pretty garniture for the new Harlequin
felt hat is composed of two ribbons,
one of each shade in the hat, the light.
er laid within the dark, and both
drawn up together into handsome
bow on the crown.

AMONG GREENHOUSE OR WINDOW
PLANTS.

Prairie Z afmer
Watering is an all-important consid-
Grafton with plants confined to the
space Of small fiower-pot. No regu-
lar rules can. be given, as different
plants snd plants in different condi-
lions will not succeed under the same
treatment. For example, any plant of
the ,-sctus family, except the epiphyl-
lums hat are now about to flower,
will not hurt, If Kept quite dry. A
plant growing fast, like q Gala, geran-
um or other similar plant. viii require
an abundance of water. Aiofh er
plant that is making no growth, vial
not of itself have much need for water.
But growing in an artificially-heat,N
room where there is but little humidity
in the atmosphere, the circumstances
of the case are changed. Evaporation
here is great, both from the soil and
the leaves; hence, more must be sup
piled to take its place. A good plant
grower can tell by the look of the plants
alone il water is needed. Long before
the leaves flag or wilt for wasn't of wat.
er. there is a changed hue in the green
that warns him it is not safe TO go any
longer.
The greatest danger is from water
ing in dribs-often enough, but of little
use, The effect of this is to keep an
inch or two of the top soil, where there
are but few roots, well wetted; the bot
tom. where it is all rootR, gets dust-dry.
Water thoroughly, when 1t is done.

FASHIONS FoIBLEs.

Boas, collars and shoulder capes
made their appearance with the first
frosty days Of autumn. The stylish
boas are round and Of long fluffy fur,
aud should be chosen long enough to
touch the foot of the dress; they may
also serve as the trimming for the
fronts of all redingotes, and with q
round muff, larger than those of last
year, they constitute the fashionable
'set of fur" Russian sable boas are
first choice. Then, according to Hdr-
pcr's Bazar, are Hudson Bay sable
boas, black marteH. black lynx, black
fox, blue fox, black bear and brown
bear and the light yellowish brown
badger boas. The new plastron col.
lars Of long fleeced furs are round and
wide behind, with the fronts pointed
to the waist line like vest; they are
warm and becoming, and are made in
all the fashionable long furs.
The new fur plastron, "Medici," is
arranged with reversible collar,
which can be worn either lying fatty
around the neck or in an upright posi-
ton. 1t is numbered with the most
becoming novelties that have been in
troduced this season. Shoulder capes
or pelerines are more popular than al
any other season. Young ladies wear
them because they are just short
enough to disclose slender long waists
and old ladies like them for the pro-
lection they give the chest and shout
der blades and because they are easily
put on and off.

SHORT JACKETS


With closely fitted long waists are
the fashionable fur garments for
young ladies, and for older ladies who
retain their slenderness. These jack
cts are made of seal skin, Of Persian
lamb, or of leopard skins, and of two
furs in combination. The plain seal
jacket is the best choice for careful
buyers, and averages 25 inches in
length. The back is left open below
the waist line, and laps there to adjust
itself to various tornuers.
The newest short wraps of sealskin
combine jacket and mantle or cape;
for instance, a jacket of sealskin has a
cape front curving open from the
throat, covering the coat sleeves, and
going into the back forms from the
shoulders down precisely as many
mantles do.

Long sealskin cloaks that cover the
wearer from throat to foot are more
nearly fitted to the figure than former

back of the skirt instead of having the
fullness over the tournure, that adds SO
much to their weight.

THE MATTER OF INDEMNITY.

THE MATTER OF INDEMNITY.
WAsHINGToN, December 17.-No
news has been received at the Navy
Department in regard to the United
States steamers Galens and Yantic
since their departure from New York
and none is expected for several days,
Notwithstanding the fact that the yes.
sells will be due at Port au Prince to-
morrow. It is the impression of many
naval officers that the steamer Haytien
Republic will have been surrendered
and be on her way to New York before
the Galena and Yantic arrived at Port
au Prince, and in that case the matter
of indemnity will be the only thing to
be settled. The United States steam
er Richmond will be ready for sea by
Thursday next and the Ossipee at
Norfolk by the first of the month. The
intention was to send these vessels to
Hayti as som as they could be prepar-
ed, but from present indications it is
not regarded as al all probable that
either of them will go there.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, December, 17.-At
12:4O president protein ingalls, laid be-
fore tho Senate the resolution of Sena-
tor Riddleberger, proposing re-organi-
cation of the Senate after January, l,
and the author spoke in support of it.
He said his object was to put some
other than the senator from Kansas in
the chair, asserting that he had been
the chief figure in the most disorderly
scenes he could recollect occurring on
the Senate floor. He said a change
was necessary in order that the faith
of the republican party pledged to a
consideration of the British axtradition
treaty in open session might be kept.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Senator Rlddleberger asked leave to
withdraw the resolution, but objection
was made by Senator Harris of Ten
nessee, who moved to lay it on the ia
BILE and called for the yeas and nays,
after paying a high tribute to Mr.. In
CALLS partiality and ability. Finally
the senator from Virginia was allowed
to withdraw his resolution and the in
cident closed.
The Senate resumed the considera-
ton of the tariff bill. Several amend
ments were offered, all Of which were
rejected, after a long debate. Ad-
journed.
