Possibility of Cheaper Sugar.

Ex-Governor Rusk, now U. s.
Secretary of Agriculture is one of
the most busy men in the country,
he is always on the alert for the pro-.
motion of some great public interest.
He has now or hand the plan for
production of sorghum sugar in
Kansas, in sufficient quantity it is
hoped, to supply all the wants of
this country and do away with the
much disputed question of sugar
bounties. His department has been
for sometime and is still experiment.
ing with sorghum, with good pros
pect it is claimed Of satisfactory sue
cess. About $4,000 acres Of sorgh-
UNI have been under cultivation in
Kansas this year; a large number
of chemical experts are now on the
ground, and the different theories
for the manufacture will be put to
the test. Secretary Rusk has left
his post at Washington and gone to
Kansas, to witness in person the oper-
ations. He reports that enough cane
can be grown on two square miles of
land to yield 100000 pounds of
sugar, by the new process. By the
improvements in the process of pro-
duction, sugar can be brought down
to three cents pound. Sorgham
can only be profitable produced in
the latitude of Kansas or further
south. If Secretary Rusk succeeds
in his sugar enterprise, he will great
ly reduce the expense of living.

PugiliSm at a Premium

The story is that John L. Sullivan
has been SO much elated by the ova-
tons he has received since his late
prize fight, that he has signifed a
willingness, to be a candidate for
Congress. What is said about his
candidacy may be exagerations, but
as strange as it might be, if he were
put on the course for that office, the
number of votes he would receive
would astonish many people:
WASHINGTON, Sep. 8.-Some Bos-
ton Democrats who are in Washing
ton say the announced candidacy
for congress of John L. Sullivan
may not prove laughing matter.
Sullivan is located in what is known
as the "Pat Collins" district. 1t has
reliable Democratic majority of
several thousand. Those who know
the district we'll say that if Sullivan
would only keep sober, escape the
Mississippi penitentiary and cultivate
popularity, he might capture the
nomination next year. The novelty
of having the champion prize-fghter
of the world occupy a seat in the
house would undoubtedly give zest
to the campaign.
If you could see your own scalp through
an ordinary magnifying glass, you would be
amazed at the amount of dust, dandruf, and
dead skin thereon accumulated. The bes,
and most popular preparation for cleansing
the scalp is Ayers Hair Vigor.

subject that can engage the attention
of man, Help TO make the word ''politi-

should make every man politician,

should never be abandoned. BE brave
"a coward is despised by both God
and man. Do not stop to consider
whether a senator or Congressman
will punish you or your friends for
talking, but talk and write what is in
your mind; let them call you wind
bags, bare your breast to the shafts of
ridicule; you will make mistakes per-
haps, and you will sometimes say the
wrong thing; you may sheer from the
