The Kansas supreme court is consid.
erIng new point raised IN the attempt
ed enforcement of the prOhibitory law
+. w. Fulker was agent of the Pacific
Express Company at Oketo, Kansas.
and as such agent, received at different
times, express matter from Blue
Springs, Nebraska, consisting of num-
Der of boxes about twelve inches square.
The evidence shows that these various
boxes were securely nailed, when re-
celved at Oketo, and after delivery,
were opened, and found to contains
whisky. Fulker sold these original
packages, was convicted IN the district
court of Marshall county, of violating
the prohibitory law, and sentenced to
pay fine of 500, and to imprisonment
in the county Jail for thirty days. The
question now is as to whether or not
such sale is violation of the laws OF
the state Of Kansas prohibiting the sale
of Intoxicating liquors. The attorneys
tor Fulker hold that such sale, under
such conditions, is clearly authorized
by section of article of the constitu-
ton of the United States, which says
that congress shall regulate commerce
among the several states. The attor-
ney general holds that the sale OF, intox-
icating liquors in the several states may
be regulated, restricted or prohibited
at the will of the states, each speaking
for itself, by its organic law or legisla-
tive enactments.

CRAZY ON SORGHUM.

The western counties are crazy about
voting bonds to sorghum sugar plants
and the probability is that many of
them will regret doing so. The plan in
Pratt, Kiowa, Clark and Meade coun-
ties is to have the townships vote the
limit, $4,000, tor a small plant that is
to feed one central plant. In some of
the counties it is proposed to put in the
roasting process, system yet purely in
the experimental stage. The sorghum
sugar business was a success at Medi-
cine Lodge, this season, where about
$4,000 pounds Of sugar was made; but
this is the only place where 1t has been
Il perfect success. The Attica works
went into the hands of a receiver and
neither the farmers or the workmen
have yet been paid. At Conway Springs
the farmers who furnished cane and the
workmen in the mill have received but
partial pay, and they came near mob
bling an officer of the company, last
week, for not paying them. At Ness
City, the works weFe barely started this
year, and it is understood that the MAJ
chinery has all gone back to the compa-
ny that furnished it. At Meade Center
and Liberal no sugar was made because
the cane was dried-up and worthless,
and at Arkalon, where the roasting pro-
cess was tried, but little, ii any, sugar
was made. Fort Scott would have had
good season but for the cane fields be-
ing three times inundated last spring
and summer. So there are many slips
in the sorghum business. First of all
the company that puts in a plant must
have capital. Then, there must be soil
that Will raise cane with sugar in it.
Then there must be plenty of pure wa
ter--not just little in we'll or a weak
running stream, but hundreds of thous-
ands of gallons. The mill at this place.
during its sixty-day run used. on an av
erage, 600,O0 gallons OF water every
twenty-four hours. If these requisites
exist then the people will not lose any
ching by voting bonds to sorghum sugar
plants; but if any one of them is absentI
more than likely the plant will he fail
ure. Remember, then, you must have
hard iron dollars. soil that will pro-
luce sugar and plenty of water.

PsYcHIcAL RESEARCH.

How Sir John Franklin's Fate Was Re.
Vealed by . Spirit Child.
A fair case for investigation by the 30
ciety for Psychical Research ID presented
In little book recently published in En-
gland, which processes to give the true
story Of the discovery OF the fate of the
great Arctic explorer. Sir John Franklin.
The author of the book is Rev. J. Henry
Sleeves, vicar Of Holy Trinity Church,
Liverpool. According to this writer, Sir
John Franklin's fate was the subject Of q
special revelation.
Readers Of Arctic history are well aware
that the British Government sent many
search expeditions to find traces Of Frank
lin, but without avail. According to Rev.
Mr.. Sleeves, q child of four years, the
daughter of a Captain Coppin, Of London
derry. died In May, 1S49, and for many
months afterward reappeared in the spirit
form to various members of her family
The Franklin mystery was being discussed
everywhere ut this time, and q seven-year-
old sister Of the dead child, at the suRRes-
ton OF her aunt. questioned the apparition
on the subject.
Thereupon, says this little book, s.there
appeared upon the floor complete Arctic
sea, showing two ships surrounded with ice
and almost covered with snow, including q
Se-oA-@S- S--e-S ASA W WIG SAAPos AAkS DCGuO1
or chart, was copied and, in answer to
further questions, there appeared upon the
opposite wall In large, round letters the
following: "Erebus and Terror, Sir John
Franklin, Lancaster Sound, Prince Regent
Inlet, Point Victory, Victoria Channel"
Captain Coppin II said to have forwarded
this very definite message from the unseen
world to Lady Franklin, who was 90 i'm
pressed with It that che insisted that
Captain McClintock, who sailed on the final
search expedition in 1857. should follow the
exact route thus laid down. This was done,
and the result was the discovery Of the
EARN ct Point Victory, In which q thin tin
cylinder was concealed, giving the only
written report that was ever found re-
specting the loss Of the Erebus and Terror
and the death Of Sir John Franklin.
McClintock returned to England and was
loaded with rewards and honors for having
cleared up the mystery, but his success,
according to Rev. Mr.. Sleeves, was en-
tirely due to the fidelity with which he
stuck to the route laid down by the Lon
donderry apparition. Captain Coppin's
children are still living, and Mr.. Sleeves
says that, though it happened forty years
ago, the story can be verified in every par
ticular.
Tho Psychical Society should lose no time
In holding its inquest on this remarkable
narrative.

PROHIBITION AT THE HUB.

The item below is from the capital
CITY of Kansas, published in the Capt.
tai newspaper, the official state organ.
the champion of prohibition in Kansas,
a paper which daily declares that pro-
hlbitiOn is a success. Read it, tax
payers and temperance men, and then
say if you do not think it would be bet
ter to license saloons and drinking
places rather than let them exist with
out license, and without state, county
or municipal regulation. Here is the
item from the Capital of November
Is, 1889:
1T is a surprise and a source of deep
regret that the Capital is called upon to
chronicle the Illuminating spectacle of
Topeka firm setting up fire. saloon,
with unlimited quantities of whisky,
beer and ale, for the entertainment of

vention in this city. The county clerks.

was revolutionized and majority cleo
ted pledged to the opposite policy.
/ This being the case, congress IS a:
definitely bound as ever a legislative
body was, to give pension legislation
the precedence over all other business
and certainly to give it precedence ovel
any measures looking to areadjustment
of the revenues. 70 this obligation il
should be resolntely held by the com
rades whose votes put it's majority in
office.
And now, comrades, that the bond
holders have been gorged to repletion
the veterans ask of congress that the
mere money-lenders be removed for a
time from the foreground-that they be
retired to the rear to digest, in the tor
Dor of surfeit, their gluttonous feast,
and that the veterans be given an op-
pOrtunity at the Nations bountlful ia
BILE.
They ask that, for brief period at
least, the 5lst congress give the soldiers
that priority of consideration that was
accorded them in 1875, when they held
the fate of the nation on their bayonets,
and every hope of the ely-distressed
people rested on their unquailing hearts,
They ask that the 5lst congress begin
It's career by this act of justice; that it
listen first of all to the men who saved
the union at such cost to themselves.
The bond-holders, the money-makers
have had the first, last and longest hear
ing in every congress since the war. 1t
is not asking much of congress that
once in a quarter of century it listen
first to the veterans of the great war.
Especially since had it not been for
these there would have been no bond
holders to appeal to congress and no
congress to appeal to.
Let it hear the soldier first, pass the
pension legislation that has long been
promised them, and consider measures
TOR the reduction of the revenue after
wards.
And now, comrades, when you or any
of us want a position by which we, or
either of us can obtain a subsistence
for our families, they say vote for me
and l will help you out, and you get the
kicks and cuffs. After they find for
certain they are elected they go to the
congressman of your district and say if
you Will help this man who is citizen,
and who has an occupation by which he
can earn his living, and man who new
er smelled powder, or if he was given
chance would say L will get some one
in my place. and we have got those old
soldiers where we can use them and af-
forwards cast them aside. 1 think 1t
very near time the veterans were getting
their eyes open, and just for an example
look at our last election when our can
didate for sheriff and senator were run
hing, and the language they used IN be-
half of the old soldier. Comrades, you
ought to have position as postmaster,
or some other little county office such as
constable. But no; you can't De post
master; it must be l.. NJ. or Darius.
Comrades, mind what you said on the
day of the election; That you would
vote the ticket straight no matter who
was on the ticket. Now you can go
hungry for Office and we will see that
you don't get pension.
Yours after the election,
j. w. UPPERMAN.

UndeniabIe Facts.

EDTToRs INDEX: These facts are un-
deniabl9. The two main issues before
the people last fall were
l. Shall the nations promises and
pledges to its soldiers and sailors be re-
deemed at once, without further heart
sickening delayP
2. Shall the revenue system be main
tanned as it is, or be tinkered with or in
the direction of free trade. Upon these
clearly defined issues both parties went
before the people. The contest was
sharp and decisive. The presidential
and congressional candidates who rep
resented continuance of the ilhberal
pension policy, and free trade tInkering
with the revenue, were defeated, and
their opponents, who promised an hon.
est fulfillment of the nations promises
to its soldiers, and the continuance OF
protection to American industry. were
elected. The majority in the preceding
congress which had refused 70 pass
proper pension legislation, and Which
bad attempted to led ice tie revenue,

Cattlemen are removing their stock
from the Cherokee Strip-not hurriedly
or in big droves-but they are shipping
fat steers and stockers and feeders to
Kansas City and Chicago, the dispatch
es say, at the rate of 5000 per day. II
is now believed that the Cherokees will
accept the offer of SIPS per acre for the
strip; and if they do not it is under
stood that the government will settle
friendly Indians on the Strip in accor.
dance with the treaty of 1866. II we

The talk about the candidacy of Ri.
ley Robinson and Frank Shannon, in
1883, Is like reading from a last years
almanac. All there was of that con-
test was honorable and fair. Robinson
received q votes, and Shannon received
A votes in the nominating convention
That was all. And it is just as silly
now to talk about Poston's candidacy
in the last convention. He never did
receive more than 35 votes, and on the
final ballot he received 80, while Bur-
nett, who was not Medicine Lodge
candidate, received So, while 40 were
necessary to a choice. All the talk b.
the ignorant and stupid old fossil of the
Kiowa Herald, about Medicine Lodge
debating nominations, is the merest
rot. Old man Hall knows absolutely
nothing about Barber county, It's poll
tics, its men, its interests or it's future
prospects.
