SORGBUM sUnAR

A report of the past seasons ex-
periments in making sugar from sor-
ghum cane has been rendered to the
State Board of Agriculture by Prof. E.
b. Cowgirl, the chemist appointed to
inspect the product and adjust the
bounty offered by the State for the
manufacture. Advance sheets of the
report have been furnished to the press
by Secretary Sims. The report gives
a review of the various attempts that
have been made to produce sorghum
sugar in this State, and de-
scribes the process by which
the result has been accom-
plished, and also contains much valua-
bic information relating to the new in
dustry. The outline. of the process
used in the successful experiments is
as follows:
First, the topped cane is delivered at
the factory by the farmers who can
grow it.
Second, the cane is cut by machine
into pieces about one and quarter
inches long.
Third the leaves and sheaths are sep
arated from the cut cane by tanning
mills.
Fourth, the cleaned cane is cut into
fine bits called chips.
Fifth, the chips are placed in iron
tanks, and the sugar ''diffused''-
soaked out with hot water.
Sixth, the juice obtained by diffusion
has its acids nearly or quite neutraliZed
with milk Of lime, and is heated and
skinned.
Seventh. the defeated or clarified
juice is boiled to a seml-syrup in
vacuum pans.
Eighth, the semi-syrup is boiled Ito
grain' in high vacuum in the ''strike
pam"
Ninth. the mixture of sugar and mo-
lasses from the strike pan is passed
through mixing machine into centri-
fugal machines which throw out the
molasses and retain the sugar.
The report fully demonstrates the
practicability of manufacturing sugar
from sorghum, and that Kansas pos
sesses in soil and climate all the pre-
requisites of its profitable produc-
ton

THERE is too much truth in the fol-
lowing from an exchange for us to let
it pass unnoticed: "Man finds any
amount of fault with women, yet works
tooth and nail to get her. He calls her
extravagant, yet yearns to pay her bills.
She's heartless, but he devotes months
to find the spot where that heart should
be. She's tickle, yet he struggles for a
place in her affections. She's timid,
but he, noble creature, has courage for
two. She's fraud but darling. She's
agoose, but a duck. She's snippy and
sweet. In fact, she's chameleon in
the very latest style of spots and dots
and fixings. She's 1.-the and graceful
dainty and dear-and changable as the
wind. Yet she's a most desirable ar
ticle of household furnishing. and there
are mighty few men who want to get

The frequency Of attempts to wreck
passenger trains by placing obstruct-
ions on the track Is bringing out good
deal Of comment IS to the inadequacy
OF punishment for this species Of
villainy. The first railroad horror Of
this kind of any magnitude will be
sure to lead to popular demand Tor
people advocate capital punishment
for would-be train wreckers, and some
day there may be such crystalli-
cation Of sentiment as to secure the
the passage Of such q law.-Capital.
A man was recently hanged in Iowa
for numbering his niece because she
refused to marry him. He was the
first person executed under the law in
that state for twenty-five years. Dur
ing all this period many men have been
hanged for all sorts Of crimes, proba-
bly, no less than 200 all told; but they
were executed by mobs without the le-
gal trial, but the sentiment Of the state
has been SO strong against capital pun
ishment that it has been impossible to
hang the goodly number of per-
sons duly convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree. Com
mutation of sentence, rehearing By
the supreme court, death, and the &C
ton Of mobs have together been potent
enough to cheat the gallows in Iowa o.
its legal due through all these years
During one period Of four or six year,
in this time the law permitting capita
punishment for murder was repealed
but public sentiment, which could not
bear to hang man, was still stroni
enough TO restore to the state the pow
er to do SO, and so the jury was author
lied to determine whether murder II
the first degree should be punished b.
death or life imprisonment.
Judging by Iowa's experience it vii
be but matter of time when Kansa
will profit by her own experience ant
so amend her laws as to make it com
pulsory on some one to see that muir
derers sentenced to death by our court
are executed. Here murderers, Whel
convicted, go to their punishment
laughing; in many instances boastinl
that that they are sure of plenty to ca
and good sleeping quarters-luxurie
they were not used to before.
What this state wants, not only 70
train-wreckers, but for all willful muir
derers, is q law that will take life 70

know no restraint but fear. This re
straint should be exerted to its fulles

the true light in which the liquor ques-

community may determine for itself
whether it will license or prohibit the

TIE New York Sun has an elaborate
exposition of the divorce infamy that
prevails in that city. That journal
sent out young unmarried reporter to
investigate and, though unmarried. he
found no difficulty in obtaining for
himself several divorces from SUPPOSE
tious wives. He estimates that there
are at least fifteen divorce mills in New
York, turning out, according to his es-
innate, over 500 generally fraudulent
divorces annually. These concerns
will sell what purports to be absolute
divorce, though no proof of the legally
requisite adultery is furnished, or if it
is desired, they will manufacture the
proof for an additional fee. 1t is not
necessary even for either of the parties
to appear, for a blank divorce can be
obtained, afterwards to be filed in
with any names. Very often the
courts are never applied to in any way,
the divorce mandatory itself turning
out the document unaided. In other
cases divorces are actually obtained by
collision, by fraud, and by trumping
up false testimony, so that wife may
never know of the dissolution of her
marriage until her husband shakes in
her face a decree of absolute divorce.

r. E. Torrington, the agent of the

his railroad experience never saw a
place that received as many groceries
in proportion to its size as Emporia.
He also said that there are from ten to
one hundred tickets sold every day to
the surrounding towns to people who
are loaded down with packages who
had been to Emporia purchasing dry
goods, clothing, groceries, and in fact
everything. This shows that the bus
mess men of Emporia must sell goods
cheap.
