The Sorghum Sugar Patsnt to be Contested.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The attorney
general has caused to be prepared a bill
OF complaint bringing suit against Nor
gan Swinson, the purpose being to cancel
the sorghum sugar patent taken out by
him. The document sets forth that Swim
sons discovery was made while he was an
employe of the government, receiving a
salary for conducting experiments in that
line; that the improvement is of great
public Importance and was, properly
speaking, made for the department of
agriculture to the end that this industry
should be available and remunerative to
all citizens who desire to engage therein;
that the respondent is demanding large
sums OF money for the use Of this process
so as to establish a monopoly and griev-
ously oppress the people upon an invalid
patent. The commissioneg Of agriculture,
referring to the bill, SAYS he is informed
that trust is being formed to control the
manufacture of sorghum sugar by means
OF the SWlnson patent. He says the case
OF the government Is very strong.

A FIRST-CLAss PREMIUM.

Dnring the past six months we have
been looking over the entire premium
field to tnd some really excellent article
which we could offer to subscribers to the
FREE PRESS, something that must be of
real worth, and that could be offered in
such manner that all would be anxious
to possess it. After examining scores of
different articles we at last hit upon some.
thing which answers our purpose exactly.
1t does not in any way interfere with our
advertisers, as none of them sell such an
article, and we are enabled to offer it with
the FREE PRESS at such terms that any
person can see the advisability of taking
immediate advantage of our offer. Our
great bargain is "Our Family Physician" !"
n standard practical family guide for the
sick, for many years before the public,
and now in its ninetieth thousand.

They are well known to the people of

directed effort would result in their cap
ture. The central government seems
thoroughly aroused to the Importance Of
ridding the country of these pests, and
has offered large rewards to those soldiers

seem to stimulate zeal, it is natural that
the soldiers should serve those that pay
