A number of varieties of cane are
growing in the fields. There is one
resembling Rose Bamboo and an,
other Yellow Caledonia. The uncut
tivated cane growing along the
roadside is resistant to borer, dis
ease and alkali, but is worthless for
cultivation. intermediate between
this uncultivated variety and those
generally grown is one blueish in
color which possesses a hard woody
texture, containing a high per cent
of fibre, low juice but fair per cent
of sugar in the juice. This cane
finds a place here owing to its par
tlal resistance to alkali.
Thirty to sixty tons of cane are
grown per acre. Early records Of
some of the estates show a prOduc-
ton of Is to tons of sugar per
acre, while now on the better es-
tates there is an average of about 4
tons. One estate averages about s
tons per acre and on special sec
tions there has been a yield Of 7
tons, The annual output of sugar
from Peru is about 10000 tons.
The per cent of sugar in cane, the
moisture, juice and fibre vary large
" according to the character of the
soil in which the cane is grown. The
following table shows the variations
in cane content grown on a given
section of I43 acres.

Queer Couple, Divorced, Remar-
ried, Again Seek Divorce.
An Unusual Case to Come Up
i'm LeaVenWorth Court.
FIRST MARRIED In '92.
The First Cause of Separation
Was Extreme Cruelty.
The Petition for Second Divorce
Mentions "Gun Play"

Leavenworth, Nov. 24.-Elnora NJ
Houghland has filed suit 70 ra divorce
from VIM. z. Houghland This state
ment would not be so peculiar were 1t
not for the fact that the couple have
been twice married and once divorced.
The first marriage took place in Sep
TENDER, 1892 and the first petition for
divorce was filed in 1897. During the
April term of the district court, or on
May 1, 1897. the wife was granted a
decree divorcing her from the husband
on the grounds of extereme cruelty and
non-support. She was then given the
custody of the children.
They married again April %, 1899, and
the wife. in the petition filed yesterday,
asserts that her husband has again
been been guilty of extreme cruelty.
The first petition for divorce stated that
in October, 1896, he struck her over the
head with a gun and would perhaps
have killed her had not her screams at
tracted attention and prevented the
husband from doing so. The second pc
tition alleges that the husband has
abused his wife many times and that on
November 20, 1904, he assaulted and
beat her.
The wife asks the court to grant her
two children born unto them, Edna
May, aged IL years, and irving o., aged
9 years, and for the household goods
and real estate described as lot 80, block
g. Central addition. She further asks
that she be granted alimony in the sum
of SIS a month for the care and main
tenance of the children.

VAST CABLE SYSTEM.
New Line Proposed With the Far East
via Boring Strait.

Seattle Wash, Nov. 24.-Cable and
Telegram hic communication with ST.
IBERIA, the Orient and the Old World
countries by way of Bering strait Is
proposed by John Rosene, managing
director of the Northeastern Siberian
company He intfmates that il 5the
United States government will extend
it's Nome telegraph line from Nome on
to Cape Prince of Wales, and thence
establish the wireless system across
Boring strait between Cape Prince of
Wales and East Cape, the nearest
point of the Siberian side, the inter-
vening distance being only from 2S to
35 miles, that the Northeastern Siber
ian company will build an overland
telegraph line across northeastern ST.
IBERIA for the whole of which it holds
a concession from the Russian govern
ment, to a connection with the tele-
graph line extending the full length
of the Trans-Siberian railway from
Vladivostok to st. Petersburg.
This would place, by means of ex-
listing cable connections, Japan, China,
the Philippines, Korea, Manchuria and
other far east countries, as well as
all of those of the continent of Europe
in cable and Geographic communities
ton with all points on the North and
South American continents. 1t could
be done, Mr.. Rosene points out, at
much more reasonable telegraph and
cable tariff than now obtains.

THE FIGHT WAS A FAKE.
Tommy Ryan and Jack Root Make a
Miserable Showing.


Philadelphia, Nov. 24.-In the
fourth round of the bout between
Tommy Ryan of Kansas City and Jack
Root of Chicago at the National Ath
letic club last night, Referee Nc
Guigan left the ring and pronounced
the fight a fake. The fighters had
received their guarantee money before
the fight started.
The moment McGuigan left the men
a half hundred policemen under COM
mand of a captain surrounded the
ring.
Ryan and Root stood in their re-
spective corners not knowing what to
do and evidently afraid to leave the
arena for fear of harm at the hands
of the disappointed crowd Suddenly
a soda water bottle. which had been
thrown from the gallery dropped in
the middle of the ring. Then sa1score
of policemen climbed the ropes and
walked In, the crowd calming down.
The fighters and their managers de-
clared that the action of the referee
was an outrage and that it was unfair
to the patrons to have stopped the
fight as both men were trying hard.
Referee McGuigan said it was the
worst showing ever attempted in this
city and felt sure the spectators agreed
with him. He said the men were
guaranteed $4,000, which they insisted
upon getting before entering. AS they
had the money he could do nothing
but stop the exhibition. He declared
that the club lost $1,000 on the ven

JUDGE DEGREES CLEMENCY.
Says Sympathy Shall Never Again
Sway His Rulings in Court.

Urbana, O., Nov. 24.-Judge Mid
dleton of the court of common pleas
today said that he would not receive
any petition for clemency in the
future.
Louis Keener came before the court
for illegal voting, and Prosecutor Zim-
mer pleaded for clemency for the de-
PENDANT. but the court said it would
have been well for the prosecutor to
ask for a nolle if he felt that the
young man should not be punished.
A petition signed by numerous citi-
zens at the request of the lads mother
was presented for clemency, and it
was then that the judge put his foot
down on all such measures and sem
fenced the boy to serve thirty days in
the county Jail.

SAYS THEY ARE NOT TRUE.
superintendent of IIoIton Schools Re-
plies to Washburn Charges.
Holton, Kas., Nov. "a, 1904.

Holton, Kas., Nov. "a, 1904.
To the Sporting Editor of the state
Journal:
The State Journal of November %,
in the article headed, more Football
Charges" contains charges in which
the Washburn academy football team
did not state the facts; more than that,
they know the charges to be false. The
facts are as follows:
F1rst-At no time before nor during
the game did the manager of the Hol-
if Washburn refused to play the game
E. L. HoltOn had no authority to re-
fuse to pay the expenses; he had no
desire to do so, and he never did it.
SecOnd-The game was played with
eight regular high school players and
three ex-high school players. On ac-
count of death, sickness, and an
accident, four of the Holton high
school players were out of the game.
This was explained to Washburn by
the Holton manager, and they agreed
(after much delay and talx) to play
the game, knowing the above condi-
burn lost, and therefore they
"howled."
Third-There was no objection to
e. L. Holton acting as referee one
man selected by Washburn acted as
referee. During the entire game
Washburn was not penalized a single
time Washburn did not lose the ball
OI OOWuS d Tune Wnen Inor6
was any question even by the Wash
burn team. During the last half,
while Holton was referee the Wash
burn captain started to leave the field
because he thought he had lost the
ball. This was before the referee had
made a decision The distance was
measured and Washburn given the
ball, and first down. There was no
other chance to question a decision,
and this was given to Washburn. The
only time the referee failed to do his
duty was not to put the Washburn
captain out of the game for cursing
and his unsportsmanlike action
throughout the game.
Fourth-The list which the superin-
tendent signed are bona fide students
in the high school.
Fifth-Washburn knew all the facts
before the game They were not
forced to play or lose their expenses.
SIXTH desire to denounce the
charges as maliciously false.

pYTHIANs AT WICHITA.
Expect to Initiate a Glass of GOO in
February.


February.
Wichita, Kan, Nov. 24.-Loca1
members of the Knights of Pythias are
planning upon entertaining a big
crowd at a grand Pythian jubilee to
be held in Wichita some time during
the month of February. The jubilee
will be in the shape of a district con-
vention. 1t was decided definitely at
last nights meeting of Warwick lodge,
No. A. to invite the grand chancellor
to call the convention to meet in this
city.
The meeting will bring many mem
bers of Pythianism to the city. The
district comprises several counties.
and such an event always draws many
knights from neighboring districts.
At last nights meeting. a committee
was appointed to cooperate with the
grand prelate in arranging for the
convention. 1t is intended to make
this the most successful jubilee of the
year. Pythian topics viii be discussed.
the work will be exempIified, and
there probably will be competitive
work in the different degrees, by teams
from outside Wichita.
One of the features of the jubilee
will be the initiation of a monster
class of candidates into the mysteries
of the three degrees of the order.
Last spring at Topeka, 1000 candi-
dates were initiated by the famous
Missouri team. OF this number, Wich-
tia furnished about twenty-five. About
sixty knights from this city went to
Topeka to see the work. In this part
of the state, it probably will be more
dlfhcult to raise large class, and
hardly as many are expected to take
the work as took it at Topeka Yet
the local knights are confident that the
class viii number at least 500 or 700.
Further arrangements for the big
meeting will be made at the regular
meeting of Warwick lodge, on the
evening of December IA.
