Getting Even.

Not long ago in the Peshawur district a
man went 50 very far TO the bad as to shoot
a Mullah It might have been an accident,
or be mistook his man, or pure villany;
anyhow the Nullah died, and like many
another outlaw the murderer had 10 fiy
over the border. First he tried Buneyr,
but the news had preceded him and he
was refused shelter. He then tried the
Swat Valley with no better success-the
country Of the Akhund would have none
of him. Even the Afridis, small reverence
as they pay TO spiritual advisers, would
have nothing 20 say 10 ruffian whose
hands were died with the blood of pious
man. Wearied at length of being hunted
from tribe 10 tribe he bethOught himself
of repentance. None of you will have

will go and kill Sahib."
So back he came to Peshawur canton
ment and walked down TO the Mall to lock
for a victim. Not finding one handy he
turned off and went for a cavalry sergeant
in difficulties with a troublesome horse, at
whom he took deliberate aim. As luck
would have it the first bullet was stopped
by range finder the sergeant mad on him,
but before the latter could go for his aSsail-
ant the Pathan got another bullet through
the sergeant's helmet and made bolt for
it. a plucky native ran in, and the man
was ultimately secured, tried by the COM

on THE HOME STRETCH.

Thomas Wait. agent of II. H. Mitchell,
of Newark, n j., is expected to arrive by
Friday next with some appliances to cause
the flush tanks in the sewers to operate
according to contract. Mitchell holds the
patent on the tank, and his system was
adopted with the guarantee Of giving sat
isfaction. When il was discovered some
weeks ago that the tanks were not doing
satisfactory work, Mitchell was notified
and sent man here who spent some days
in making an investigation. He claimed
TO have discovered what was necessary 10
comply with the contract and returned to
make amends. He promises TO have all
the tanks giving good service within ten
days after commencing TO make the
changes.
Work commenced yesterday putting
down the main across the famous
Yankee Miller property on Topeka, near
Thirteenth street There are yet 900 fees
of main to be put down when that part OF
the contract will be completed. All the
flush tanks have been constructed and the
inspection of the entire system will occupy
the city engineers department about two
weeks yet. 1t is thought the contractors
within three weeks will have the entire
system ready 10 give over TO the tender
mercies of the CITY.

The semi-annual reunion of the A. A.
Scottish rite in the valley of Wichita
will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week. 1t is expected
that quite a number of the brethren from
the state will be present. There are over
twenty candidates for work and every thing
is most promising for a reunion that will
be a success in every respect.
In the circular concerning the reunion is
found the following:
The work done at our semi-annual reun-
ion is principally for the convenience of can
dida es residing out of the city, and is
carried forward in such a manner as to
render it agreeable to them and afford the
greatest amount of enjoyment of the fes-
tivities of the occasion.
Owing to the great amount of labor and
expense incurred providing banquets and
other necessary arrangements for work in
the Council of Kadosh and COnsistory, we
do not confer these degrees only at these
reunions, at which time all the degrees
from the - to the 32o inclusive, will be
conferred
Members having friends who are candi~
dates are especially requested to call their
attention to the above SUGGESTIONS.

Mrs. Barr's Dog.

Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, the well known
authoress, has a great mastif named Sui
tan, who acts as playmate, companion
and protector at her mountain home on
Storm King on the Hudson. Sultan is
highly trained, and is one of the most gen.
tlemanly dogs alive. He takes his place in
the dining room, and when he sees his IA
vorite dish on the table he steps up TO his
mistress, and as plainly as anything short
of human speech can do it asks TO be
served, indicating by his eyes the dish be
refers to.
Compliance is acknowledged by polite
bow Of the big head. Fetching and carry
ing to any part of the house on order are
to him mere puppies play. Dishes, per
sons and places around the house and

the autocrat of the lawn, aud at night he
takes the whole road under such close
supervision that none can pass unless they
are prepared to produce a certificate of re-
spectability and good intentions.-New

SORGHUM AND BETS.

Hon. w. w. Cook, of Medicine Lodge,
who was in the city yesterday, says that
the sugar works down there have been a
great success this year and profitable. One
hundred pounds of sugar were gotten from
cane this year, as against seventy-Odd
pounds last year. Next year he doubts
not that the Medicine Lodge factory will
turn off one million pounds Of cane and
beet sugar combined. The factory having
exhausted the cane crop, goes to work on
beets this week The EAGLE has never
lost its faith in the final triumph of the
sugar business in southwest Kansas. It's
in our soil, as all chemists unite in declar-
ing. There is greater per cent of sac
charine in both our sorghum and in our
beets than in the same products raised
anywhere else in the United States. The
agricultural department admits it and ex-
perts declare it. OF course with a hun
dred sugar factories, more or less, in
southern Kansas, a sugar refinery will
have to be built at Wichita

! ter, and to the credit of all who partici-
pated in it.

Prof ii. 5. McMichael, and was shown to
be in COON spiritual condition and doing
excellent work

was reported by Miss Ida Howard, who,
though quite a young lady, excelled all
the others in the excellence of her report
and the manner in which she read it,
Miss H. smith, of the First church, read
an interesting paper on 1.-The Early Life
of the Wesleys.n
The choir of Dodge Avenue League rem
dered another beautiful anthem, which

THE YEARS SUGAR BUSINESS.
The Kansas Factories Operated Under Most
Favorable Conditions Showing En-
couraging Returns

Prof. E. B. Cowgirl the we'll known
Kansas sugar man, or one who is authority
on sugar making in Kansas as well as
elsewhere, arrived yesterday morning and
will be detained in the city a day or two
looking after business matters. Concern
ing the sugar making business
he stated last evening that this
years experience was most gratifying. It
was considered and estimated one year ago
that the manufacture of sugar from cane
and beets raised in Kansas had passed be-
yond the experimental stage. and this year
only confirms that opinion. The companies
In the state going at the business in bust
ness-like manner in every respect are get
ting along quite well and are making
money. There is no overproductiOn fea-
ture TO cause alarm in the sugar making
business, and before this point could be
reached it is thought fifteen hundred or
two thousand plants could be in operation
in Kansas.
The business this year has faced a light
cane crop, or much lighter than last year,
owing to the drouth. This, however. has
not in the laest impaired the quality of the
cane with reference to it's sugar making
properties. The Medicine Lodge factory
as a sample shows 147]5 pounds of sugar
per ton of cane, while the total output of
that factory will double the average Louis
lana factory for the last five years
The Kansas factories have made ar
for selling total output in New
Orleans and at price one quarter cent be-
low quotations in New York City on day
of sale. The sugar from sorghum cane
coming in the market so early has the adj
vantage of the best prices. This is no
small feature in taking into account the
Kansas factories.
The Medicine Lodge factory is now
handling 200 tons per day, but
Is now making arrangements to
double the capacity for next year.
Every factory in the state is going
to increase its capacity some double, while
others will not go far into the business.
The Medicine Lodge company has
already contracted for 1000 acres of cane
for next year and the same acreage of
beets. The prices for cane are from Sl.50
to s.. 50 pes ton for cane and beets 50 to 50 !
per ton.
Prof. Cowgirl says the time has come
when capital will not be afraid to go into |
the sugar business, since it has been estab- |
shed that the business is a success. In |
order to insure returns on a business basis, |
ne says, company must have capital
