KANSAS SUGAR

The GlObe-Democrat of the 5th inst.
has colum dispatch from Washington
telling of the experiments i'll beet sugar.
and the manufacture of sorghum sugar
at Medicine Lodge. The dispatch saws
senator Plumb has put on exhibition.
i'll his committee room, samples of Kan
sas sugar, received from the works at
Medicine Lodge, one bucket being sor-
ghum sugar, and one bucket beet sugar.
The senator is very proud of his speci-
mems, and takes delight in showing
them to his colleagues.
The same dispatch has a copy of a
letter sent by the government agent,
w. w. Cook, of this city, to Secretary
Rusk, telling the details of the beet
sugar experiments at this place. Mr..
Cook relates the facts heretofore pub
lished in this paper, showing that from
j. 20 acres of beets planted, go. q tons of
clean beets were raised; 1O,l5S pounds
OF sugar made; $50 gallons of syrup
obtained.
In the same article is copy of let
ter from Col. Eldred to Senator Plumb.
in which he states the general result of
the seasons work by the Medicine
Lodge sugarwOrks. He says the out
put will exceed 100000 pounds. and
would have reached 100000 had the
company been prepared with sufficient
tanks to have worked second sugar
while at work oil the first. He also says
that at the beginning they lost great
amount of sugar on account of new ma
chinery and unskilled hands. He also
says the works need small refinery,
to run in connection with the house,
and this they expect to put in this sea-
son. He says they expect to make q
million pounds next season.

A Life and Death Struggle on tho Top of
Freight Car.
81 remember" said the freight brake
man, "of an adventure once had which
came near being my last. We were over
run with tramps during the summer
and had to use pretty severe means
sometimes in order to get rid of them,
Two big stout fellows whom found in
an empty box-car next to the engine re-
fused to move until, by having hot
steam turned upon them by hose from
the engine, they were forced to vacate.
They made threats of getting even with
me, but thought no more of it.
Zone cold, rainy night in the follow
ing autumn the train stopped at way
side tank for water. Going back over
the train releasing brakes came across
man seated upon car directly over a
creek which, swollen by the rains, had
become rushing torrent. told him to
got of the train. The sound of nv voice
had singular effect upon him, for he
sprang to his feet and CRASHING me by
the throat exclaimed:
"sNew I've got you. You don't remem-
Der me, do you, sonny? Well, 1 haven't
forgotten you, nor the time you drove me
from the car with hot steam. That creek
down below is just the place for you.
and in you CO.
The top of freight ear, made slip
perry by rain, is not the best place for a
hfe-and-death struggle, and as he was a
heavy man and held my throat with a
grip that prevented outcry, my chance
Of escape seemed slim.
Il made the best effort possible to es-
cape, but each move brought me nearer
the edge of the roof, until it needed but
slight effort to send me whirling into
the stream below.
Seeing this he braced himself for a
final effort. Events, however, were in
my favor. The car, instead of being of
the modern pattern, was fitted with lad.
ders running up the sides near the CEN
ter, and grasped the top rail just in
time. For, as did so, the train started
with jerk,
closing his balance, my would-be as
sassin plunged forward, and releasing
his grip upon my throat, fell with =
splash into the stream below. 1t was
some time before could regain strength
enough to go forward to the engine. By
that time the train was miles away, and
the fate of my would-be murderer was
never learned. Claus

Anthony Republican "The Repub-

business touching the matter of re-sub-
mission, but intercourse with republi-

that there are three classes IN the party

sire to meet the question, dispose of it.
and keep il out of politics; those who
are disguised with the present free
whisky laws, and those who do not be-

discovered that many republicans are
becoming FESTIVE under the insulting
and dommeering policy which is now
being pursued by the rule or ruin cranks
of the party. And it can safely be put
down that a SIMILAR state of affairs ex
lists in every community in the state Of
Kansas. There is no use Disgusting
these facts. and the sooner the question
of re-submission is squarely met and

DER HASH VAS GoOT.

Adventure OF Dutchman Who Knew
Nothing About Western Ways.
A Dutchman was travelling in the far
West, says Texas Siftings, and stopping
at hotel in small town, called for
dinner. He was a little late, and big
dish OF hash was about all the waiter
set before him. Being very hungry he
could not restrain the anger that boiled
up In him as he looked at the boiled
down product of the hostelrY.
"See here, my frund, did'n dole you
to pring me yum dinner9 A tog couldn'
eat dot shtutfr' The waiter protested 1t
waa the best that could be done, and the
guest broke out again impatiently. "vot

hoongry draveler who goesh his preak-
fast mitoute We're ish der landtlort OF
deaa meeserable hash house? Dell I'm
to cook me Something's goot to eat at
once forthwith"
The waiter disappeared through q
side door and Immediately afterward the
startled guest heard gruff and angry
voice pronouncing these terrible sem
fences;
1.-THE rascal refuses to eat the dinner
furnished by my housed I'll see about
1t. Let me git at himI"
The guest began to shovel in the hash
like unloading coal, and fierce-whisk-
cred, stalwart fellow with two pistols
and dirk at his waist came trampinR
toward the table.
HAT I der pleasure OUT attressing der

neFvously, and bowling with extreme po-
likeness.

Here is news for Barber county The
negroes want the government to buv
the Cherokee Strip and let them home
stead on it-keeping off all white peo-
pie. The negroes will ask President
Harrison to appoint commission to
negotiate with the Cherokees for the
purchase of the Strip. This proposition
is founded on information that the In
dams are willing to have colored people
settle on the Strip. 1t is argued that.
as resolution has just been introduced
in the United States senate to appropri-
ate large sum of money TO carry col
ored colOnists to Africa, if the govern
ment can appropriate money to trans
port the negro to Africa, it has the pow
er to appropriate money to purchase
lands for him at home and could buy
the Strip for this purpose. 1t is urged
that strong and united effort be made
to this end, and the Afro. American
