THE BQB0HUM INDUSTRY
The following information regard-
ing the new sorghum industry is
furnished by a correspondent to the
St. Louis Republican from Fort
Scott. The diffusion process of
manufacturing syrups and sugar
from sorghum, recently introduced
is without question one of the most
valuable discoveries of modern times
to the farmer and consumer. Mills
should be put up in Texas, and right
here in Denison is aa good a point
as any:
“The production of cane is from
ten to twenty tons per acre, and $2
per ton is the price, delivered at
mill, so that the rate of production
and distance of haul are both fac-
tors ot reckoning to the farmer.
Production depends on richness of
soil, season and cultivation, end the
price of cane may vary to suit the
sugar market of the future, while the
haul may readily be reckoned by
tbe distance from the mill. Farm-
ers here are giving sorghum the
preference over all other crops, as it
is much surer and is raised on con-
tract at a stipulated cash price, but
this includes the seed, so that the
mill gets the benefit of it as well. I
do not write to discourage tbe pro-
duction, hut to give the correct view
of it. The manufacturer needs
some enouragement and the farmerc
wants the actual facts. These will
warrant him on the foregoing basis
to give the crop his attention as soon
ss works come to his vicinity. This
will not be at any remote time when
capitalists are apprised of the suc-
cess already established in the Fort
Scott works. Your doubts would
all vanish if you could see as I do
daily, week after week, tbe immense
quantity of fine sugar and the stream
of syrup flowing from the centrifu-
gals, the train of loaded wagons
crowding through every avenue lead-
ing to tbe works, where they assem-
ble in long lines to take their turn at
the scales and hurry away again.
Surely the results of thi« production
are hs glowing as you painted them,
with the doubts left out, but the dis-
tribution is somewhat different, but
every farmer should be a stock-
holder in a local mill, and thus gain
on both sides.’’

The Courier proposes to believe
this paper is anxious to “rake up
everything to the dis-advantage of
Sherman.*’ Nothing could well be
farther from the truth, as any one
who reads the Register must know,
as every issue of that remarkable
paper furnishes material enough of a
disparaging nature to keep the Gaz-
etteer busy were it disposed to
take advantage of its indiscressions.
The Courier’s criticism was drawn
out by something the Gazetteer
said in regard to that petition from
the business men of Sherman de-
manding (that is the word) that their
local banks refuse to supply money
for the purchase of cotton, unless it
was to be marked in Sherman. So
far as this matter is concerned it is
believed to he a fact. It was report-
ed in this city a week before thi« pa-
per said anything about it, and the
Gazetteer would not have alluded
to it at all had not the Sherman Reg-
ister as good as confessed the report
was true. The Courier would now
have its readers believe that hut a
very few business men of Sherman
signed the petition, and that it was
not presented to the banks at all, but
the Gazetteer is informed by good
authority, and believes, a majority
of the influencial business men did
sign it, and furthermore that it was
presented to at least one of the local
banks, when the proposition was
promptly rejected.

A week ago last Sunday morning
Mrs. Able, wife of a farmer living a
short distance south of Oakland, 111.,
died, to all appearances. The fun-
eral was arranged tor and the body
placed in a coffin and prepared for
burial. The sorrow-stricken rela-
tives were assembled in the house
when Mrs. Able suddenly returned
to consciousness and sat up in the
coffin. On realizing her surround-
ings she tainted away, and while un-
conscious was carried to a bed. A
doctor was sent for and shortly after-
wards Mrs. Able gave birth to a
child. She and the baby are both
doing well, but the doubly happy
father and husband has not yet re-
covered from the excitement inci-
dent to the affair.

MOVING A TOWN
Tbe citizens of,?the thriving little
town of Collinsville, in this county,
are sensible, and deserve to prosper.
Ever since^the advent of tbe railroad
there have been local dissentions
growing out of the building up of a
new town around tbe depot, which is
some distance from the original town
cite. Tbe last issue of the Collins-
ville Times announces that “Old
Town” property holders have deci-
ded to remove to “New Town.”
The frame buildings will be torn
down and rebuilt, or removed, as
they stand, and tbe two brick bus-
iness bouses will also be taken down
and tbe material used for more sight-
ly structures. In this work the own-
ers are to be assisted by the “New
Town” people. The Times is ju-
bilent over the new order of things.
It says:
Collinsville will yet redeem her-
self and make a town, if the sore-
eyed goddess of misfortune has hung
over her rainbow of promise in the
“busted” past. Collinsville is in the
very heart of one the most fertile
sections of country a crow ever flew
over, besides timber and free stone
water in abundance is right at hand,
together with fine schools, churches,
etc., and we know ot no place where
a more thrifty, intelligent set of peo-
ple live. _
Statistics published in the North
China Herald strongly support the
ancient estimates ot the population
of China. It appears that the au-
thorities at Pekin have recently ta-
ken a census tor tax purposes, and
that tbe village baliffs, whose bus-
iness it is to understand the figures,
return the population at 319,383,500.
Five provinces are omitted and their
population, as recorded in the last,
census brings the total up to
392,000,000. Even thte figure
is independent of the pop-
ulation of Thibet, Kashgar,
Ili, and Corea; and the total num-
ber of souls ruled by the Emperor
of China, therefore, exceeds 400,-
000,000, and still displays a tendency
to increase. As the population of
India exceeds 250,000,000, the In-
dians and Chinese together consti-
tute more than half the human
race.
And according to the decision
recently rendered by Andover Col-
lege and the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions this naif of the human race now
on earth are bound striaght for hell,
where their torment will ascend up
forever and ever unless the Mission-
aries get among them and reveal the
plan of Christian salvation and they
are made to believe. This is bad
enough, but it is as a grain of dust
in the peck measure when we come
to figure up the millions upon mil-
lions who “have gone before,” and
yet some innocent persons effect as-
tonishment that there are so many
intelligent infidels in the world. It
is more remarkable that there are
so many professing to believe in
such a horrible doctrine.

It is announced with a flourish that
the postal service has again become
self-supporting, and Mr. Vilas is re-
ceiving a great deal of free puffing
in the newspapers for his able man-
agement in consequence. The pub-
lic, however, care less about the de-
partment being self-supporting than
they do in having good service, and
unfortunately, for Mr. Vilas’ credit,
the service has depreciated to cor-
respond with the reduction of ex-
penses. If Mr. Vilas would see that
post masters were allowed money
enough to pay decent salaries tor
competent assistants to handle the
mails, the people would be better
pleased than to be told the depart-
ment is now self-supperting. The
postal service is supposed to exist
for the accommodation of the public,
and money sufficient should be ap-
propriated and disbursed to accom-
plish this. There are plenty of
leaks in the government money-box
that could be corked, if economy is
necessary, without crippling the Pos-
tal Service. --

A BABT8 TERRIBLE DEATH.
Falls Den a Well and is Takes Oat
Dead.
At Leoti, Kan., on Thursday of
last week, Jessie, the two-year-old
daughter of one Hickmeyer, fell
down a well tube. Tbe baby caught
seventy-five feet below the surface,
where the bore of the well changed
from 12 inches in diameter to S. The
hook caught on to the baby’s cloth-
ing, and she was pulled up thirty
feet, only to fall back with a piteous
cry. Other attempts to hook the
child failed, though her calls were
frequently heard. It was then de-
cided to dig down through tbe sandy
soil, and, if possible, reach that por-
tion of the tube where the baby was.
The work was long and difficult.
Day and night the rescuers labored.
The mother stood by nearly all the
time, with little rest and scanty
nourishment. When it grew too
dark to dig by daylight lanterns were
furnished, and with untiring energy
and zeal the brave band went on ex-
cavating, impelled by the tears and
prayers of the frantic mother.
At 3 o’clock last Monday after-
noon the spot where the child was
caught was reached. The iron tub-
ing was cut with chisels and the
child taken out, but it was dead, and
had been for some time. When the
cold corpse was given to the mother
she fell down in a dead faint. When
she recovered consciousness her rea-
son had gone.
The Result of Two Mach Familiarity.
No a tew of the giddy and
thoughtless girls of Dallas were
fascinated by the younger members
of the Mexican band that furnished
the excellent music at the fair, and
one of them, it seems, made an im-
pression, as the following letter from
one of the young men, written from
Agua City, Mexico, indicates. The
Herald came in possession of it and
had it translated, of course, omitting
names. With the exception of one
or two phrases considered objection-
able, tbe following is a correct copy,
as published in the Herald :
Agua City, Nov. 13, 1887.
Miss-, DalFa., Texas:
Dear -With my sorry heart I
am full ot sadness, that I have dis-
appeared at once from that beautiful
city of Dallas, where I had learned
how to love for the first time in my
life, my soul has been surrendered
at a glance from one woman, yes, a
woman that undoubtedly is the most
virtuous and beautiful and the most
amiable of all females. I wish I
could tear my heart out of my breast
and present it to you, so that you
could see, beautiful-, that there
is nothing fictitious in my words.
But to hear your sweet voice and re-
ceive one glance from your beauti-
ful eyes, I would give my life.
Good-bye, Miss-, don’t forget
that at Agua City you have a friend
who, with his whole heart, loves you
and respectfully asks for an answer.
Your loving--.
A FEARFUL FIGHT.
A Woman and Two Men Killed and a
Depntv Marshall Murdered in
the Nation.
Fort Smith, Ark.,Nov. 27.—An-
other bloody tragedy occurred in the
Indian Territory to-day, in which a
woman and two men were killed and
another brave deputy marshal was
murdered while doing his duty.
Deputy Marshal Dalton and J. R,
Cole crossed the river into the "Cher-
okee nation at 8 o’clock this morn-
ing to arrest a horse thief and whisky
peddler named Smith, whom they
were told was at a tent on the Alex-
ander place, about a mile and a half
from there. On arriving at the tent
Cole rode up on one side and Dal-
ton on the other. Seeing a man at
the door of the tent, Dalton asked
for Smith, who rushed out, pistol in
hand. Dalton said : “Don’t shoot,
I want no trouble,” but Smith fired,
shooting him in the left breast and
inflicting a mortal wound. Dal-
ton said
“r AM KILLED !”
and fell from his horse with the ham-
mer of his p:stol caught half-cocked.
Cole shot Smith as he turned to re-
enter tbe tent. Then a woman ran
out and a man named Dixon follow-
ed her. Cole, who had dismounted,
stepped backward, but his spur
catching in a tent cord he tripped
and fell. Dixon then fired at him
before he cpuld rise, putting a ball
through his overcoat. Cole tried to
shoot him, but the woman

The Washington reporters, eager
for a sensational item, started the
report that Congressman-elect Mar-
tin, who succeeds Mr. Reagan, from

Hotel, in Washington, and the
Globe Democrat eagerly pounced
upon the item and embellished it in

Martin was nearly suffocated with

Mr. J. S. Moore, in the New

capitalists. His facts and figures
cannot be denied.
This institution will have an ex-
amination the 20th, 21st, 22nd and
23rd of December. All those who

vited to do so. At the close of said
examination a gold medal is to be
presented to the student who has
made the best improvement in pen-
manship, business correspondence,
and ti$e science of accounts general-
ly. .The Board of Directors are ex-
pected to be present. This institu-
tion is doing a good work. The

its able faculty, receive that training
necessary for a successful contact

rearages are paid up.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the office to
which they are directed they are held re-
sponsible until they have settled their
bills and ordered them discontinued.
4. It subscribers move to other places
and fail to inform the publisher, and
papers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
5. Any person who receives a news-
paper and makes use of it, whether he.
has ordered it or not, is held in law to be
a subscriber. "
6. If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice to the publisher
at the end of their time, if they don’t
wish to continue taking it; otherwise,

rears, is sent direct to the publisher.
