More suRar Talk.

The adjourned meeting of citizens
interested in the question of establish
ing a sorghum sugar plant at this place,
was held at the courthouse last Satur-
day afternoon. The soliciting COM
mittee reported good progress in getting
stock subscribed. The paper was circu-
lated in the meeting and a number of
those in attendance took shares. Al
together about $4,000 had been sub
scribed up To the time the meeting
closed. The stockholders present then
went into the election of seven directors
for the first year, when the following
were declared elected, they having re-
ceived the highest number of votes
5. X. W. Field, G.. j. Currle, J. w.
McNeal, w. W. Cook, Z. b. Cole, Eli
e. Benedict and Otis Coyle.
These directors will at once apply for
a charter and then will occur the cleo
ton of officers for the first year.
Another meeting of all persons inter-
ested in this proposed enterprise will be
held Saturday afternoon, Sth inst.
Those who have not subscribed for
stock can then have the opportunity of
doing so. And in the meantime, the
soliciting committee will be around
with The subscription paper.
II will be well for every farmer to re-
member that cant will only be pur-
chased from stockholders, so if there is
anyone who expects to profit by the es-
adjustment of the sugar plant at this
place, he must become interested i'm the
company.
Since the meeting last Saturday a let
ter has been received in this city from
one of the most extensive business men
of Wichita, who is anxious to engage
in the sugar business. 1t is his inten-
ton TO close out lucrative business he
is now engaged in and put his capital
i'm sugar plant. He has expressed a
desire to meet our local company, now
being formed, and the opportunity will
be afforded him in a short time. He is
"A man who is all business and he has
ample means to swing a considerable
plant.
The outlook is certainly very en-
couraging for sugar plant at Medicine
Lodge, but it is to be hoped that our
people will not tire of well doing. The
game is not out yet.

Rosewood Park.

Thanksgiving day was observed at
Kiowa in way long to be remembered.
On the invitation Of w. +. Campbell,
there assembled at his beautiful home
east of the city, a vast cOncouTse of his
friends of Barber and adjoining
counties to assist in defeating Rose
wood Park. The first thing on the pro-
gramme was the meeting Of the Barber
County Horse Breeders association for
the purpose OF transacting important
business. This finished and the dedica-
tory ceremonies were commenced. The
magnificent new en-thOusand- dollar
barn of Mr.. Canpbell's. the largest in
Southern Kansas, had been fitted up
for the occasion with seats, stoves and
conveniences for comfort, and when the
hundreds of guests had been seated.
Judge Loren Edwards, of Medicine
Lodge, was made chairman. An adj
dress Of welcome was made By w. +.
Campbell, owner of the premises and
this was responded 10 by Chester |.
Long. of Medicine Lodge, on the part
of the guests. Rev. Lemming Dr. Cloud
and others. then made appropriate ad-
dresses and then dinner was announced
and 1t proved to be grand spread, en-
bracing the usual Thanksgiving sub
stantials, reinforced by delicacies in
great variety and abundance. This
dinner. considered from an epicurean
standpoint, was gfand spread and IT
was enjoyed by everyone.
In the evening, a grand ball was Civ
en- and supper spread for the benefit
of the Masonic lodge, of Kiowa, and
from the time the first dance was called
until nearly daylight the next morning.
from twelve to twenty sets were to be
seen on the floor 1t was the grandest
ball in the history of Kiowa.
Those who attended the entertain
ment from this city, speak in te1. 'o ~
highest praise of the hospitality of Mr..
and Airs. Campbell. They are possess
ors of charming home and they are
surrounded by luxures that are not
often looked for IN the pioneer west.
and IT was magnanimous that they
should bring around them many friends
and admirers of Barber and surround
ing counties.
Not the least pleasant experience of
those VINO visited Rosewood Park was
their inspection of Mr.. Campbell's sta

The Strip Released.

Maj. G. III. Eldred, one of the direc-
tors, yesterday received word that the
bill releasing the Cherokee Strip to the
G. 5. Live Stock association had passed
both houses of the Council and had
been signed by Chief Mayes. The lease
IS for five years at S2O0,OOO per year.
This, in our opinion, will delay the
opening of the Strip in connection with
Oklahoma.
