THE Chicago Herald, which is q
vindictive enemy of Ingalls,, says this!
"Ingalls today clinched his claim to
be considered the senate's greatest
orator. Imagine the English Of a
Macaulay or Motley delivered with
the elocutionary skill of a Barrett OF
Irving and more than the force of a
Mccullough or Booth, and you have
Ingalls," The REGISTER publishes
this mastery speech in full today and
our readers can form their own
opinion. Our own deliberate judg-
ment il that there is not another man
living on earth today who could have
produced so perfect specimen of

HOPEFUL FOR SuGAR.

The Kansas City Gazette publishes
the following letter from Senator
Plumb to citizen of Junction City.
1t is a most interesting letter, and
coming from a man so little given to
dreaming as is Senator Plumb, is the
most encouraging statement concern
ing the possibilities of Kansas sugar
We have yet seen. The letter is as
follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
WASHINGTON, ID. G. Dec. %, 1890. I
b. Rockwell, Esq, Junction City, KS.
Ny DEAR SIR: A new discovery
has been made in the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum which is of great
value. Heretofore it has been found
impossible to granUlate much more
than half the saccharine which was
extracted, chiefly by reason of the
fact that it contained refractory gum
my substances. Professor Wiley has,
he thinks, discovered how to eliminate
those gummy substances by the use
of alcohol; and then he has further
discovered that these substances can
in turn be transmitted into alcohol
90 that given the first charge of al
cohol aud nothing further of that ma
terial is necessary. OF course there
will be some expense in making it
from the gum, but very little. If this
works out as well on a large scale as
1t has in the laboratory, and think it
will, it will be practicable to make
from fifty to seventy pounds more of
sugar to ton of cane than ever here
tofore, and I renew the suggestion
which 1 made to you last fall, 1 be-
lieve, that you should go down to
Medicine Lodge and see what they
have done there. You will find
Messrs. Eldred and Hinman. who are
in charge, thoroughly posted and re-
liable men. They have applied to the
management of their factory business
principles, and with results which are
entirely satisfactory, and which of
course will be great deal more so
hereafter if Professor Wiley's dis
covery proves to be practical. If it is
what it now seems to be, a great sue
cess. sugar can be made in Kansas for
mot to exceed three cents per pound,
and think it might even be made
for two and half cents, and still pay
the farmer more for his cane than he
can get from any other crop.
Truly yours,
p. b. PLUME.

SWIFT RETRIBUTION.
Two Tramps Brutally Murder a Michigan
Couple And are Shot on Sight.

Couple And are Shot on Sight.
MONROE, Mich, Aug. 31-John Wilk-
inson and his wife were brutally tor
tured and murdered by two tramps on
Sunday afternoon at their farm near
here. The motive of the tramps was
robbery. They found the couple alone
at home late in the afternoon and de-
manded from Wilkinson a sum of money
which they had learned that he recent
ly received. Wilkinson refused, where
upon the tramps set upon the farmer
and his wife, and after beating them al
most to insensibility, tortured them in
the most cruel manner, in the hope of
extorting from them the hiding place of
their money. Failing in this, the
tramps became enraged and finished
their fendish work by numbering the
couple. Retribution, however, was
quick, and justice of the most summary
nature was dealt out to the fends. A
10-year-old son Of Farmer Wilkinson
who had been in an clubhouse, heard the
shrieks of his mother and gave the
alarm. The tralnps fled, but were hot
ly pursued by posse of citizens who
came upon them near Maybee station.
They were not even given time to say
their prayers but were shot on sight by
the Infatuated citizens. Their bodies
were completely riddled with bullets.

TWO ACCIDENTS ~ sjii'c HALF
HUNDRED LIVES nf}E LOST.

A. North Carolina Train PIunges Into a
Eayine and Twcnty-threo Arc Killed.
Twenty-six Drowned as the Result of
An Ocean Steamship Collision.
s'TATEsvILLE, N. G., Aus. 27.-The
most disastrous railroad accident in the
history of North Carolina occurred on
the Western North Carolina railroad
two miles west of this place at 2 o'clock
a. M, twenty-three persons having been
taken from the wreck dead or have died
since and twenty-five wounded.
The train fell from the north side of
the track; the engine lies up the enc
banlzment on the west side. The first
class coach lies on top Of the second
class coach. 1t is supposed that as the
engine was making from twenty-five to
thirty miles an hour, on down grade,
as it struck the bridge, the track spread.
Engineer West was found pinioned I'M
der his cab, and within an arms reach
of him were the bodies of two female
passengers How their bodies got from
the first class coach to the engine will
never be known. Miss Pool held her
mothers head out over the water until
her strength was exhausted, when her
mothers head dropped and she was
drowned. A car load of convicts ar
rived from Newton early in the morn
ing, and the wreck is being cleared. The
bridge is not damaged in the least, and
trains will soon be running over it.

Frank Wilcox returned from his
trip round the world one night last
week. The reason he came back in
the night was because he could not
come in the day, unless he came on
foot, and Frank don't like to walk:
He must have blowed himself while
he was gone, Judging from the num-
Der of boxes Of goods which have
been arriving on every train since he
got home, Wonder if he forgot any
thing? Frank is rustler from way
back, and he is bound to have big
trade this fall, for he is going to sell
cheaper than you can buy in the

Town Site company. The town site
company had plated the land and sold
lots to numerous parties all over the
