AMONG THE BALL ToSSERS.
League Games.
AT PHILADELPHIA.


The game to-day was hotly contested
and exciting and twelve innings were re-
quired. In the last inning with Kelly on
second and Brouthers on first, Johnston
hit safely to center. Kelly came in. but
Johnston instead of running to and touch
ing first turned when within ten feet of
the base and moved toward the dressing
room. In the meanwhile Kelly had Sc
cured tine ball and Farrar wanted to make
the claim that Johnston was out for not
touching first, and refused to give it up,
and during the wrangle the crowd broke
into the field and for a while it looked as
though there would be a riot. Kelly
finally got into the dressing room none
the worse for the incident, although badly
frightened. Both umpires declare they
did not watch Johnston running to first
but were looking at the hit.

s.. M. sTOCKsLAGER,
The Ex-Commissioner of the Land
Office, Pays Cheyenne a Visit.

Hon. s. M. Stockslager, late commits
sioner OF the general land office, spent
yesterday in town and leaves this morn
ing Tor Denver. Mr.. Stockslager will be
remembered with a good deal Of interest
by the people in the western country for
the fairness which he exhibited when
their interests were jeopardized.
With the exception Of two years he has
been prominently before the public, first
as state senator in Indiana, then congress
man from the same state, then as as.
sistant commissioner and finally as com
missioner of the general land office, which
position he held until about two months
ago.
Speaking about the probabilities in the
next national campaign he expressed the
most decided conviction that Cleveland
would not only be the choice of the Dem
ocratic convention but that he would be
triumphantly elected president of the
United States. Mr.. Stockslager is max
ing a tour of the western country for the
purpose OF becoming more intimately ac-
auainted with its people and resources.
He is making a special study Of the land
business as 1t presents itself here, not only
in reference To agriculture but to mineral
purposes. He has opened an Office in The
Atlantic building at Washington. d. O.,
for the practice of his profession and his
experience in the land department will.
render his services peculiarly valuable to
to all land claimants.

The process of making glucose will
be best understood by following the
corn from the time il enters the fac
tory until it runs out at n spigot, clear.
odorless liquid. The shelled coru is
first soaked for several days in water,
to soften the hull and prepare it FOR
the cracking process. The softened
corn is conveyed by elevators t o one
of the highest stories of the factory,
and shoveled into large hoppers, from
which-it passes into mills that merely
crack the grains without reducing
them at once to "a fine meal. The
cracked grain is then conducted to a
large tank filled with rinsing water.
The hulls of the corr float at the top of
the water, the germs sink to the bot
tom, and the portions of the grain
containing the starch, becoming grad
ually reduced to flour by friction, are
held in solution in the water. BY an
ingenious process both the hulls and
the germs are removed, and the -four
part o held in solution contains
nothing but starch and gluten.
This liquid is then made to flow
owe n series of tables, representing
several acres in area, aud the differ.
eucein the specific gravity of the two
substances causes the gluten and the
starch 10 separate without the use of
chemicals. The gluten is of a golden
yellow color, and the starch snow
white. By the time gluten has been
completely eliminated the starch as,
sumes a plastic form, and is collected
from the separating tables by wheel
barrowfuls and taken to a drying
room, where it is prepared as the
starch of commerce. or is placed in a
chemical apparatus to be converted
into rlucose.-American Analyst

What the Mines HAVE Donr.

We were a nation of poor men up to
1850. What we have gained since has
been chiefly through the mines. The
debts paid almost represent the gold and
silver taken from the cliffs and placers;
the moving forces have been the gold
and silver dug from the mines; the real
forces that mark out the courses of trade
are OF the west rather Than on the east

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The cases Of
Coughlin, Burke, Beggs, Kunze and
O'Sullivan, charged with completely in
the murder of DR.. Cronin on the 4th of
last May, came up for trial this morning.
At the opening of court States Attorney
Lougnecker stated that three OF the de
PENDANTS would ask Tor a separate trial.
The attorney for John Kunze asked for
a separate trial lie read a long affidavit
in which kunze stated he never knew DR..
Cronin during the %latt,r's life time and
declared he was entirely innocent of any
completely in or knowledge of the murder.
Counsel for Detective Coughlin read a
affidavit saying if his client was tried with
the other defendants it would involve
the introduction of testimony which.
while inapplicable to Coughlin, would
nevertheless prejudice his case. Counsel
then read an affidavit by Coughlin himself
asserting his innocence of or completely in
the crime. Counsel for Patrick O'Sulli-
van next read an affidavit by his client
asserting hat certain evidence to be in
troduced against the other defendants
would be preiudicial to his case; also
asserting innocence of the crime charged.
Similar affidavIts for separate trials were
presented in behalf of Martin Burke and
Frank Woodruff.
The hearing was then adjourned till
Wednesday.

General Young's Trooper.

| tfa tf,f Ma
ltere is a. story General iPinrce
Young tells. Away up in the }Geol,-
gia mountains lies Catoosa Springs,
afayorite summer resort of Sayan-
nab and Atlanta society people.
Among the pines and breezeslof the
hills the fever aud lassitude bred
from the malarial air of tho low
country disappeaslike magic. One
day General Young saw an old fell
low come up with basket of eggs
and bunch of chickens for the ho-
tel people, and recognized an old
trooper of his command. II
"Jake," he called out, "Jake Dor
ridge, how are you|'
"Why, laws a massy, how-de-do9
| hain't see We since the wah."
They chattcd fora few minutes.
"Do you come up here often,
Jake1''
"Pooty nigh every day. The folks
want my chickens m likes to rest
my-eyes a-lookin' ut somc O these
yer pooty gals"
"They arc handsome, aren't they,
Jake2"
"Deed they air."
"Now, jake" said General Young,
waving his hand toward a group Of
three young ladies with whom he
had been chatting, "tell me which Of
those three young ladies is the pref
test"
say, Gincral Young, they's all
pooty. 'Twouldn't be good manners
for me to say AIRY one was pootier'n
tother."
"But, Jake, it will give them a
great deal Of pleasure to learn your
opinion. They are great friends,
and will not feel at all hurt by your
decision. Now, walk up and pick
out the best looking"
After much solication Jake un-
dertook the task. He walked up
and peered closely at the laughing
girls. About one hundred guests
had gathered by this time to see the
trial. Finally Jake turned, scratch
ing his head. All three Of the young
ladies wore broad sashes around
their waists.
"Gineral Young, theY's all so
pooty it is hard to make choice,
but still l am forced to say that
the one with the ycller bcllyband is
q lcctho the tfimmest."
There was scream, flutter Of
white dresses, and three blushing
young ladies, with various colorcd
sashes, dashed in the hotel and out
of sight.

emit began 70 be asbamed of itself OF
got retained on the side Of the peo-
pie. The Legislature changed the
statutes from time to time as expe-
r!encc demonstrated defects. The
law is now, well enforced"
tsThere is a wide difference of OPT
Mon OH that question, Mr.. Gleed."
81 will admit that it is not en-
forced absolutely. In proportion to
the magnitude of the evil, and the
prevalence of temptation, however,
it is better enforced than other crimi-
nal laws. Not twentieth of the
crimes committed anywhere is ever
punished. Still we believe that
criminal law prevents very much
crime. A much larger percentage
of those who break the law against
liquor selling are punished than
those who break the law against
theft. Kansas was never 50 prosper
Gus as it has been in the last eight
years, but this prosperity is not nec-
cssarily due to prohibition alone.
Merchants estimate the losses from
bad debts at one third less under
prohibition than before. This is
natural. We cannot be sure that
our prosperity was due to the pro-
hibitory law; neither can our oppo-
ponents say that the present dull
times are due to the prohibitory law.
Take the eight years altogether and
it is demonstrable that no communi-
ty ever accomplished so much in an
equal space of time. Our jails con
tain fewer prisoners, our poor houses
fewer paupers than before the
law went into effect. Our criminal
dockcts arc smaller. We have mo
saloons. We have no drunkenness
on election day. Our women vote
in the cities nc the same polling places
with men. Liquor plays no part
whatever in our politics. Morally,
the State is better off. Drunken
ness has decreased greatly. Boys
are not taught to drink. Thousands
of young men who were once accus-
toned to drink two or three times
daily drink no more. The old
drnnkards may be drmnkards still,
but there is no new crop of drunk
ards coming up"
Taking into consideration the
fact-patcnt to careful observers on
the ground-that this kind of talk
is endorsed by two out of three vot-
ing Kansans, and that the upper
branch of the Legislature, which is
pledged to prohibition, holds over
for two years, even prejudiced
mind can see that the present agita-
tion for submission is premature.
And in the face of $4,000 Republi-
can majority-on prohibition plat
form, too-what hope is there for
rc-submission for a decade at least I?
