SWINDLES ALLEGED.
Western Sugar Companies Accused Of Max
ing Bogus Sorghum Sugar.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Dec. 10.-A special
from Topeka says:
A swindle of gigantic proportions has
been perpetrated upon the farmers of at
least two counties insths state, and it is
feared may be found to be even more far
reaching than is yet known. The amount
involved in the swindle aggregates over
$4,000. The American Sugar company
of Kansas was chartered about a year ago.
Its agents built a mill to
manufacture sugar from sorghum
at Meade Center. The product from
the mill was exceptional in both quality
and quantity. The farmers who saw a
new industry added to the state were
jnbilant over its success, and when the
company proposed that the different town.
ships should vote bonds to it for the eX-
tension Of its works they fell in with the
plan readily and bonds to the amount OF
$50, 900 were voted and the scrip turned
over to the company.
At Ashland, Clark county, the same
plan was pursued and bonds to the
amount of $4,000 were voted by the far
merS of that county.
Although nothing definite is known as
to the company's transactions in other
parts of the state it is believed that one or
two other counties were also induced to
vote bonds to the company to provide
them means to erect their sugar mills.
Two of the employees. Messrs Emerson
and Painter, in the Meade Center mill,
suspected some sharp practice by the COM
pany. They investigated and re-
ported to the authorities here
that the manager had mixed
pure sugar with the sorghum syrup in
quantities sufficient to produce superior
sugar in very profitable quantities from
small cane product. The residents Of two
of the townships OF Meade county called
on the manager of che mill and in the
presence of the sheriff compelled him to
destroy the bonds voted to the company
The bonds in other townships have been
negotiated. 1t is believed no legal action
can be taken against the Sugar company

VEST AND FRANCIS.
The Senator Evidently Frightened by the
Latters Aspirations.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Dec. 10.-There has lately
been a great deal of talk throughout the
state about the senatorial contest on ac-
count of the presumption that Governor
Francis was an aspirant for the honor.
Information as to what Senator Vest him
self thinks of the governors course will,
therefore. be of great interest. State SEN
ator NJ. X. McGrath is in receipt of let
ter from Senator Vest dated December 6,
at Washington City. in which he alludes
to the senatorial fight as follows:
1T is very evident that the Republicans
intend to makea desperate effort to carry
the next legislature of Missouri. They
have been greatly encouraged in Missouri
and it is very natural they would desire to
defeat the Democratic party in the state
and to secure Republican United States
senator. When Governor Francis was
last in Washington l told him frankly
that no present ambition of him or myself
should interfere with the success of the
party in the state. He told me
in this conversation he was not
a candidate for the United States senate
and that he only desired to serve out his
term as governor IN creditable manner.
He also said in this conversation that he
had been told that had stated my belief
that he would be a candidate against me il
he thought be could defeat me. l admit
ted the truth of this statement and told
him that l saw no reason why he should
not aspire to the senate against me if
he thought proper to do so.
The point, however, which l endeavored
to impress upon him then and there was
that we should both subordinate any per-
sonal ambition to the success Of the party.
My only ambition is to lie I'VE behind me a
good record rs a public servant and that
my closing career shall not be marred by
Republican ascendancy in the state which
has SO much hOnOred me y
