WICHITA AND THE STRIP.

The compact between the United
States government and the Cherokee
nation, by which the government comes
/ into full possession Of 6,022, 1914 acres Of
land, was signed by the authorized rep
resentatives Of the contracting parties at
/ o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday,
| May Il, 1898, and the secretary of the
! interior gave the assurance that the
/ further necessary steps towards the open
ing of the lands to settlement would be
taken as expeditiously as circumstances
shall permit, naming September - as
the probable outside limit of time that
may be required for the preliminary ar
rangements.
The opening Of the strip will be an i'm
portant event 10 the whole country, and
especially important to Wichita. 1t
means the transfer of large number of
buyers and producers to a new location;
and that location nearer to Wichita
nearer this city-than to any other avail
able market. Wichita realizes this adj
vantage and viii seize upon it. All the
AtliAi OduS IliIilluS IIt- III W Ill anu tdOJ-
ward from Oklahoma lead to Wichita.
The most should be made Of that fact,
and if it is necessary to construct any
more lines in the same direction they
should be hurried forward If all the
roads do not lead to Rome they should
be made to do so.
Whatever additional work may be
necessary in the way of the commercial
occupation of the strip by Wichita
should be begun at once. The old and
slow processes Of emigration and settle
ment have played out. Oklahoma has
shown that territories and states are
settled in a day now. When the actual
occupation of the strip begins it will
proceed with great rapidity. A title of
some sort will be set up on every acre of
the SIX millions almost simultaneously.
The lands will, of course, change hands,
the country may not be permanently
held by the first claimants, but they
will only give way to others. The strip
may be considered a settled country
from the day the first claim is staked
Wichita should "be there that day and
will be.
The needs of a new country are very
great; everything at first from
plow to a sewing needle must
be bought. Wichita is right in the
line of supplying these new en-
pires with everything they want, and
should with promptness and boldness
proclaim the fact. The strip should be
occupied by Wichita advertisements,
men and money, and controlling
Wichita influence should be established
at once.
Wichita has fully demonstrated her
ability to supply any demands that may
be made upon her in the way of needed
supplies in the case Of Oklahoma. Hav-
ing given that country complete satisfac-
ton by promptness and care in filling
orders, that country shows its apprecia-
ton of our efforts in its behalf by stay
ing with Us. And so it Will be with the
strip. Kansas will contribute largely 10
the settlement of the new lands, and it is
but natural, other things being equal,
that they should look TO their old friends
for favors in their new homes.

TIE MANUFACTURE OF BEET SUGAR
u. THE UNITED STATES.

Professor Wiley, the chemist Of the
agricultural department at Washington,
has recently Issued a report in regard to
the raising of sugar beet5 in this country
which contains some facts OF very great
importance to our farming interests.
Professor Wiley, in the spring Of 1892,
distributed s, 80 packages OF sugar beet
seeds accompanied by instructions in
regard to preparing the soil, planting
the seed and cultivating the beets. These
packages were sent to twenty-nine states
and territories, and each party receiving
packages was required to send samples
of the beets raised, and statistics in re-
gard to the cultivation and the yield, to
the agricultural department at Washing
ton, for an analysis of the beets as to
yield per acre and the sugar they con-
tanned.
The experiments go to show that in at
least seventeen of the states and ter
ritOries IN which this seed was dis
tri5uted sugar beets can be successfully
raised and the manufacture of sugar
made profitable. Colorado had the
largest number of the samples of the
seed. The yield of beets per acre in that
state was 11.6 tons, the percentage of
sugar was 1882 and the number of
pounds of sugar per acre was 3, 99S. In
New York state the yield was 10 4 tons
per acre, the percentage Of sugar was
15.43, and the number of pounds
of sugar per acre was 1916, North
Dakota raised 22.4 tons per acre, the
percentage Of sugar was - Sc, and the
number of pounds per acre was $500.
The percentage of sugar from the tests
made was the largest from those raised
in Nevada, being 15.92. Next to this was
New York, 1913. New Mexico beet5
tested 5.34 In Missouri it was only
about 500; Kentucky only SIS per cent,
while in California it tested 4.72 sper
cent.
Undoubtedly the states lying in what
is called the New England, middle and
western states belt are better adapted to
raising sugar beets than any other part !
of the country. South of these, sorghum !
and sugar cane do best. The majority |
of the sugar consumed in the world is |
made out of beets, and it is evident from !
these experiments that this country has |
at least eighteen or twenty states and !
territories in which the cultivation of |
sugar beets and the manufacture of |
sugar can be made a success. The gen |
eral government and the individual |
states should pay a bounty sufficient to
establish the sugar industry in all these
states where sugar beets can be success
fully raised. In the northern and east
ern part of Kansas, sugar beets did we'll,
the yield being fifteen tons per acre,
which tested 1107, and gave 1881
pounds Of sugar per acre.

Who hath given the passionate longing to
gather the flowers that lie,
Cnplucked and unwithered in silvery radi-
ance, perfect and fair
In the garden Of dreams-and who this strange
splend0r of blossoms set there
Who hath loosed in our ears the faint surges
OF music divine,
Like the tremulous fingers of angels might
sweep from their Instruments fine?
Who hath given conceptions of beauty more
rare than life ever has shown:
o, soul, IN thy journey. insatiably seeking,
perfection unknown,
Hast thoU sometime slipt past thy flesh gar
ment aid crept through the silence until,
Thou hast felt at thy care all the wisdom and

That thou clingest, still worshiping, at the

1t IS the part of wisdom to profit by
experience, yet governments, like indi-

themselves of such object lessons even
when they have paid the tuition. For
instance, England undertook to bolster

on the United States to help her raise
the pressure She then undertook the
same thing for Australia, with the same
result. In the one hundred years bust

THREATENS TO RESIGN.

Rev. 7. De Witt Talmage, much of
whose pretended preaching is but eX-
travagant rhetoric and frenzied decama-
ton, after his return from Europe,
where he made 4 show of himself on
several occasions, persuaded his congre-
cation into an attempt 10 build a temple,
for his especial gioriication, far beyond
their ability to pay for. A debt of $780,,
600 hanging over it, subscription papers
we're sent out all over the United States,
u few weeks since, imploring people TO
contribute to the Talmage folly. The
language of the circulars showed that he
and his crowd took the people of the
country to be regular suckers. OF course
there was little or no response, and now,
this swelled vociferatOr and self-imp0r-
tant hullaballoo. who gets twenty five
thousand dollars salary, announces that
he will resign if the TaImage Tabernacle
is not Immediately relieved Of its enor-
nous debt, a debt for which lie alone
seems responsible. Besides his big sal
airy his sermons are regularly peddled
about the country TO newspapers, to
whom these sermons are TO be sent be
fore they are preached, and hundreds, if
not thousands, Of papers afflict their
readers with these weekly specimens of
yellow back pulpit literature. In ad-
dition we believe this pulpit poser and
tabernacle promoter gets quite an in
come from his contributions to certain
class Of home and "freside' maya
zines. Under the circumstances, there
fore, if Mr.. Talmago won't pay the
debt himself we think he should be per-
iuitted to send in his epistle of resigna-
ton, probably the earlier the better, so
far as his congregation are concerned.

Working from Habit.

On most prominent corner of Chest nut street, Philadelphia, stands an old white haired man selling papers. He al, ways stands there, rain or shine, come snow, come blow, mud or dust, and has stood there from in the morning till g at night for the last six years. His hair is white as snow, and his beard is thick and grizzled. His full blue eyes are shaded by gold trimmed glasses. His clothes are neat and tidy. His language is that of cultured gentleman.
 And that is just what he is. Thirty years ago he was one of New York's big builders. He speaks with pride of the many evidences of his handiwork still standing and which do not advertise their insignifsance even by the side of the noble structures of this modern day. Now he sells newspapers on street cor ner in Philadelphia. He is fond of talk ing of his young son, an artist of some ability, am told, and his highest. desire is to send him to Rome and to Paris The young man has been studying under a pupil of Gerome His great wish is to take lessons directly from the hand of the master. It is charming thing to hear his father, the newsman, huddled in a corner out of the drifting snow, talk of "rny son, the artist" He just glories in the subject, of which he never seems to tire.

I saw him do serious part once, and it was the funniest thing of the season. We'll, must get to the theater. Good night, old man. The one who was left at the table gave him good night, and as he watched him re- ceding down the room he folded his arms across his breast and soiloquized: Poor old Fitz! Thinks he can play Iago. The audacity of that man is sublime
 After he had smoked up his cigar he likewise arose and stalked out. Then the waiter ran his fingers through his hair, rested on. his right foot, put his hand into his waistcoat, and in Irving esque tones exclaimed for his own bene- fit: These youthful popinjays fancy. that they-they, forsooth!-have learned the art of acting.
