The sugar plant Is being built by two
gentlemen, either of whom has a pr.

operate the works.
If the sorghum sugar industry is a
success. a refinery will be erected and
operated in connection with the Medi-
cine Lodge works.
Medicine Lodge has, in successful op-

which an ordinary team can haul three
tons of stone. The works are now un-
der way, and the machinery has been
ordered.
The gypsum plant is being built by
the private means of our citizens.

plicant. This power Is everlasting, and
can be maintained by the expenditure
of a fpW dollars a vaar
Our city is located on a gentle eleva-
ton, which slopes off in every direction,
giving us perfect drainage.
We have the best soil and finest seen
cry of any county in the state, and a
climate only equaled by California.
These are a few of the advantages
we have, and though we are proud of
them, we would not have it understood
that we have boom" 1t is a steady
and healthy growth, that has come to
StaV.

STOP THE COSTS.

The dismissal of the cases against
Moss Hamilton and John McFadin, by
the county attorney, last week, togeth-
er with the acknowledgement by that
official that he did not believe convic-
tions probable, is an Acknowledgement
that the grand jury, IN Barber county,
at least, is failure. If there was no
probability of conviction, what right
had the grand jury to blacken the char
acterS of two citizens who had never
before been charged with crime? 1t is
serious thing to indict an innocent
man and the jury and prosecuting at
torney should be absolutely certain that
conviction is possible before returning
bill against a citizen. In one Of these
cases 1t was charged that the defendant
allowed two or three calves to remain
in his enclosure without attempting to
find the owner. In the other case the
defendant was charged with buying a
steer that had been stolen. There was
no larceny in either case, and rs we
have been informed, both prosecutions
were instigated from personal spite.
Barber county is in no condition to pay
bills for costs in frivilOus prosecutions
and the sooner all cases where convic-
ton is absolutely impossible, are strick-
from the docket the better. The coun-
ty attorney will save Barber coun-
ty thousands of dollars of costs if he
will refuse to allow his name used in
prosecutions instituted through malice
or to settle private piques and quarrels.
lie may displease a prosecuting witness
but he will receive the plaudits of the
majority if he only prosecutes in cases
where at least the presumption of crime
is plain and unmistakable.
