WASHINGTON, December R.-The
resolution adopted 10y the senate
calls for all the information the Sec
rotary Of the interior has about
land leases i'm Indian territory. SEN
AtOr Plumb, who offered the resOlu-
tim, said tonight:
There was q great deal of talk 10y
MT.SpTingGT, Mr.. Weaver aud others
AT the recent Wichita meeting, to
the effect that the opening OF the
territory was being delayed 10y parties
who hold leases on lands. The resolu-
ton il intended 10 show how extern
sive the leases are, and how far the
administration has gone to approve
them. II such influences as alleged
are operating to hinder the opening
OF the territory, we want to know
Just what they are and to what eX-
tent they have the Administrations
Endorsement. You recOllect that quite
early in this administration Mr..
Garland gave an opinion that the In
dian territory leases were illegal and
President Cleveland issued his order
giving the cattlemen only forty days
IN which to get out, causing consider
sbls hardship and less in certain
parts Of the territory. The supreme
court decided that the CheTOkees had
= clear tile to their outlet strip, and
therefore could lease. But there are
other lekses, how many or of what
extent, am not informed. Under
the resolution the secretary will re-
port what the leases are, who hold
them anil what the administration
present attitude il toward these
leases. The resolution calls for infOT-
nation not only about the grazing
lenses, bat also about the coal land
and ell other leases
This % all Senator Plumb SAYS In
explanation of his resolution. From
other sourees il Is learned that q full
reply from the secretary will show n
surprised state Of affairs regarding the
Indian Territory privileges, or leases
rs they are called. The adminIstr a-
tIou has veered around, aud now Oc-
cupies . very different position from
that high moral plane Uccupied when

THE soRgHUH ISpusrHr.

q v. Joslyn, Of this city, has re-
ceIved q letter from his nephew, now
employed in the Chemists division
Of the Department Of Agriculture at
Washington, In which he speaks as
follows Of the Kansas sorghum In
dustry:
''I will now say few words regard
ding this sorghum-sugaT industry,
OF which the president makes such
favorable mention in his report Co
this Congress OF the state Of the
Union. IL originated In Indiana,
where sOrghum-cane MAS used eN-
cIusively for syTuPs aud mOlasses,
these products being much priced at
the time. This was about eight oT
ten years ago. Scientific men took
ap the idea that much sugar existed
in the cane, with the intention Of
working out some practicable
method Of extracting IL. For a time
the old roller, or mill process, was
employed; hut this permitted such =
loss Of sugar as to render unprOtit-
able the working for sugar. IL be-
ing evident that unless sJme more
errOrless method was applied, DR..
II. w. Wiley, the present chemist
Of the agricultural department, took
trip TO Europe, In order to observe
the methods there employed in man
ufactuTinE sugar from the beet. OBJ
serving that q very good process was
utilized, he collected data and draw
ings, with the intention Of erecting
such q plant for use on sorghum
cane. Subsequently, aud under
patronage Of the government, n fac
tory was erected Al Fort Scott, your
state. Experiments were carried on
here, as also al Ottawa. The practical
bility Of the process berame at once
apparent, was adopted, carried 60
further developments, and stands
today al immense industry for the
whole Of Kansas.
Naturally. there IL n relation Of
the industry with the interests Of
the farmers, who, many Of them
buFdened by large Indebtedness, seek
some manner and method Of relief.
IL IL found in this: One acre Of good
land will produce an aveTagr UI
fifteen tons Of sorghum-Cane, aud
this sold TO the sugar company
where ever Il IL, nets $l.Ij per ton,
o. tgB per acre. What other crop
viii do this? Not one; and herein
lies the solution of your "Garm-dehi
problem" u you find IL inc xpedirnt
TO repeal your mOuslrOus Interest
laws, or place some restriction 0n
the power Of capital. The profit ar-
rrues alike to the producer and the
farmer; both are inestimahly bene'
flied, and both should bless the
sorghum industry.
Dear Uncle, ] have written this in
the belief that your interest lies in
the development Of Kansas. Being
employed In a business which relies
for lie activity upon the activity al
settlement and migration, you will
doubtless cherish every scheme fol
facilitating aud advancing those
qualities OF your state, whirh will 10
time react ami benefit you. Where
ever commercial stRgnatiOn exists
no incentive to settlement will exist
and your business will suffer"

johnny Timson, son Of the late Re-
corder Timson of Hamilton, died at
the Monitor clearinghouse at O
o'clock last Tuesday evening. He had
been in the employ of the Monitor
Company as assayer about tight
months. Three weeks ago johnny
was taken with tile measles, but soon
gu; over them, and contrary to the
advice Of Mr.. Read, the foreman, re-
turned to work few days after get
ting up. Last Saturday he was taken
down again, when his disease took a
violent form, either pneumonia, or the
measles gong in" too soon, causing
Inflammation of the lungs. Medical
aid was brought IN, which gave but
little hope from the start. Tuesday
morning he rallied and seemed much
better, and word was sent to his
mother at Hamilton 10 that effect; but
SOON after he passed into semi
conscious state, complaining of no
pain, and died as If going asleep. All
that could be Was done by Mr.. Read
aud other friends to make his last
hours easy, and every possible effort
made to save his life.
Poor Johnny Timsonl This writer
knew him since child, when golden
curs cncircled his fair brows and
rested on his shoulders. He was the
eldest boy of family of seven, one
sister being his senior. After his fa-
theirs death, three years ago, Johnny,
though but sixteen, and delicate from
his youth, went to work like man
at anything he could get tn do to help
his mother support the large family
He was ambitious to push ahead. His
fellow workmen loved him aud say
he was the best boy they knew, poss-
essing all the virtues aud no vices.
But the Father has called him home.
A messenger was sent 10 Hamilton
Tuesday night to break the sad news
to his mother, brothers and sisters,
and the same night a coffin was made
and next morning the remains Jepos-
tied therein and accompanied by few
friends started for Hamilton. where
all that is earthly of johnny Timson
will be laid by the side Of his father
in the cemetery. A tear dims the eve
As we think of the feeling of the be-
reaved ones when the sad cortege
reaches the home made desolate. We
drop the curtain on sorrow So great
that none but the afflicted family can
know.
