by ex-Empress Frederick, mother of EN-
peror William. Last summer he had
planned TO make sn extended trip through
Norway, but on the advice Of his physi-
clan. he abandoned this trip and instead
went to Carlsbad. where he took the cure.

We WELCOME The INDUSTRY.

The Topeka State Journal of last
Friday evening contained the follow
| ing regarding the conversion of the su-
gar mill at this place into tannic acid
| factory. We hope the scheme will pull
through and that the industry will be
self supporting and successful. 1t
would be calamity to our city to lose
the plant after having gone to so much
expense in procuring it. The Journal
says:
There is prospect that the old
Medicine Lodge sugar plant which was
sold day or two ago under foreclosure
for $9.480 Will bemade the scene of a
new industry in Kansas.
An organization of English capital
lists is negotiating for the establish
ment with view of operating it as a
canaigre plant for the manufacture of
tannic acid. Almost all of the machin-
cry used for the manufacture of sugar
can be used and so the cost of new ma.
chinery will be small indeed.
Canaigre is a plant which grows only
in New Mexico, southwestern Texas
and Arizona and its product takes the
place of bark used in tanning hides.
The syndicate which is trying to buy
the plant has the entire contsol of the
output and they have but one other
plant and that is in Phoenix, Arizona.
1t the factory is sold to the Englishmen
it will be worth about $4,000, which
is about what it cost. originally. Mr..
E. 3. Cowgirl who bought the plant for
Wilson S. Dodge, says there IS no
doubt about the syndicate being in
earnest and he thinks theywill establish
the second tannic acid plant in the
world at Medicine LODGE
