WANT TO RAISE CANE.
MISSOURI FARMERS BELIEVE 1T WILL
THRIVE IN THEIR STATE.

A Big Convention Considers the Subject.
Sugar Mills and Rehneries to BE Erect
ed Plans For Experimental Stations
and Tests.
The sugar convention held recently at
Hughesville, Mo-, was a pronounced
success. The farmers who reside in
Hughesville district, which is the gar
den spot of central Missouri, have de-
cided to turn their attention from the
growing of corn and wheat to that of
cane raising, and the convention was
held for the purpose of effecting an Or
ganlzation to secure the location of a
sugar mill and refinery at Hughesville.
The permanent organization was COM
pleted by the selection of officers and
board of managers. The proposed
Hughesville sugar mill and refinery will
cost $3.50, 900, and the capital for estab-
fishing the plant is assured. The mill
will require two diffusion batteries and
have capacity of 800 tons of cane each
"a hours, and 5000 acres of cane will
be necessary to keep the mill in opera
ton during the 100 days of the manu-
featuring season. 1t is believed that
when the mill is in operation kettle
sugar houses will be established at nu-
merous points in central Missouri, and
their output of brown sugar will be suf-
ficient to keep the refinery in operation
every month of the year.
s. Tho sOh cNi1 ~
this part Of the state will produce from
| Is to 20 tons of green cane per acre,
while the seed, more valuable for stock
feeding than corn, will equal 30 to &C
bushels per acre. The lowest estimate
| of the farmers profit in raising cane is
$50, while the 8, 900 acres Of cane would
make profit of $780, per annum tc
the mill owners, or 80 per cent on the
money invested Each Of the farmers
who have become members of the asso
citation will this year plant from one
fourth to one-eighth of an acre of i'm
proved Or pedigreed sorghum cane seed
and the crops of cane will be subjected
to such tests as may be required by the
capitalists who are to provide the mil
and refinery. The experimental station
and expense Of tests will cost $1,000
and that sum was quickly subscribed a
the convention. Probably no better 10
cality in the state than the vicinity @.
Hughesville could be selected for cane
raising. The soil is deep and exceedingly
rich and the surface a rolling prairie
The large plant can also be operated a
little expense for fuel, as the best of sof
coal is found in inexhaustible quantitie
at a few feet from the surface. st

Mckinley,s Close Friend.

Colonel Otis, who but for geographic
al considerations would have been ap-
pointed assistant secretary Of war, is a
personal friend Of the president. They
served together in the Twenty third
Ohio regiment i'll the civil war and in
later years became fast friends. Several
times within the past few years Colonel
Otis has visited President Mckinley at
his Canton home. When the fight for
delegates was being made in California,
Colonel Otis succeeded in capturing
several delegates for Mckinley, and
later in the campaign, after the St.
Louis convention, he ''whooped it up"
for Mckinley and the Republican ticket.
Mckinley, when elected, extended an
invitation to Colonel Otis to call at
Canton, which he did some weeks be-
fore the president went to Washington.
At that time Colonel Otis indicated a
desire to be assistant secretary of war,
saying that the place would be accepta-
BILE to him and that he thought he
would prove a good assistant in view
of his previous military training.

April Fool.

Many times, ere waned the winter,
Did he strive in vain to tell
How his heart was but a splinter
Meath the magic of her spell.
After weeks of aggravation,
Forced to keep young love from sight
He declared in desperation,
81 will write!"
So he bravely set to burning
Gallons OF the midnight oil,
Passed through many tortuous turning
In epistolary TOLL
Begged that he might forge the fetter
That but death Tor law unlocks,
And at last he dropped the letter
In the box.
Dreaming she'd be "his devoted"
How his soul was stirred to song
AS the postInan, sober coated,
Trod the droWsy street alongl
Then one morn that worthy's whistle
Shrilled more sharply than before,
And there fell small epistle
At his door.
Oh, he doubted not the sender,
For her crest the wax revealed
With what trepidation tender
Ho the envelope unsealedi
But the fervor Of his passion
Grew upon sudden cool,
For she answered in this fashion:
"April fOol!''

an Ancient Custom.

NeighbOrs of Mrs. Anselm Would Revive
an Ancient Custom.
Under the old 'blue laws" of New
Jersey a common scold, if adjudged
guilty, may be ducked in mill pond.
The law hasn't been enforced for many
years. The tenants Of an apartment
house i'll Hoboken, however, believe it
should be i'll the case of Mrs. Matilda
AHselm. She has lived on the first floor
for nearly two years The other tenants,
Mrs Peter Half, Mrs. Henry Brusse
and Mrs. John Heinz, say she has made
things exceedingly lively during that
time. From interfering in their affairs
to creating a racket in her own apart
ments they say she has no equal, and
her tongue, they say, never stops wag-
ging.
With Mrs. Caroline Seigfried, who
owns the house and lives in one of the
apartments, she went too far The re-
marks made by her reflected on Mrs
Seigfried's character So, with Frank
Ludwig, her SON in-law, Mrs. Seigfried
called ON Recorder McDonough. The
latter could not see his way clear to en-
terrain charge against Mrs. Anselm
for her aspersions upon her landlady s
character, but he could hold her under
the common scold act. This he promised
to do if Mrs. Seigfried produced wit
nesses to prove Mrs. Anselm a common

Bride and Groom Fail to Solve the Secret
of the Folding Furniture.
"a newly married couple were piloted
in here the other night by some Of their
friends, who called in a loud voice for
the bridal chamber" said the clerk of
a hotel in one of the large cities. "The
groom was evidently from a much
smaller place and was SO nervous he
could hardly write his name.
"Well, got this pair in their room
all safe and thought I'd never hear an
other word out of the couple Along to-
ward 8 o'clock in the morning the
Office was deserted, and the Waterman
came down stairs. holding his hand over
his mouth and trying to keep a straight
face The coople in noomber 2 would
loike to see you, sorr, he said. ran up
the stairs as quickly as possible and
knocked on the door. Twas told to come
in and saw the lady sitting stiffiy in a
chair at one end of the room and the
gentleman in the same position at the
opposite end. Why, what's the matter?'
| asked.
Well, me and Annie would Jest
like to know if you expect to keep US in
this parlor all night and not let us go to
bed at alp
Now, you see, all that could be
avoided if they wouldn't put every
bridal couple, whether they are from a
farm or palace, in parlor fitted up
with folding beds, patent combination
washstands and piano bureaus and
bathtubs and all trash like that and
come down to the good old furniture,
like we have at home. It would be a
great benefit to all parties concerned. -

NEW BOOK ON CERAMICS.
A Rich and Costly Work That Will Give
Joy to Collectors.

A Rich and Costly Work That Will Give
Joy to Collectors.
The first part of a remarkable book
on oriental ceramic art has just appear
ed. The publication is the result of II
years of labor and is said to be one of
the most costly books ever printed Only
500 copies Of it are to be issued. The
estimated cost of the publication is
100000. The plan of the book is to
give a complete and exhaustive history
of the ceramic art in the far east and
to illustrate it by examples drawn who'll
ly from the collection of the late Will
liam T. Walters of Baltimore.
Mr.. Walters was the first American
to make an extensive collection of orien-
al ceramics, and the specimens of orr
entail potters' art which he selected for
40 years and which now number more
than 1900 are considered to be more
typical of every epoch and variety OF
decoration Of the porcelains of China,
Korea and Japan than any other collec-
tion in the world. The chief feature OF
the book to an art lover will be the 116
full page plates, Autographed and
printed in many colOrs.
For eight years artists and lithogra-
pliers have worked upun the set OF
plates at Louis Prang's establishment
at Roxbury, Mass. Mr.. Prang regards
the set as the chief monument of his
life. Some Of the reproductions of the
book require no less than 90 different
Autograph stones, each supplying its
bit of color and design, to make the

A trolley wire broke in Williamsburg,

excitement. The street was crowded
