The diffusion process is used exclu- sively, the old roller process having been found wholly unsatisfactory. For a num- ber of years there was great joss from stoppages, because of imperfect machinery, but this has now been remetied. The ma- chinery has been so improved that las! year there was no accidental stop that ex- ceeded fifteen minutes. When the sugar mill craze was on in Kansas the farmers set apart thousands of acres for sorghum cane, expecting, of course, that they would reap a rich harvest. ‘They ‘were sadly disappointed and were compelled to feed the crop to stock. ABOUT COREA. Interesting Information About ‘and Which Has Caused Wa The kingdom of Corea, which China and Japan are quarreling over, is not quite twice as large as the state of New York, says the World. Its population is estimated at 8,600,000, or in the neighborhood of 2,000,- ow iscre than the population of this state. Corea is a peainsula stretching out from the continent of Asia in a southeasterly dire-tion, between Jupan and China proper, with the Yellow sea on one side and the Sea of Japan on the other. The average width is 135 miles, and the whole length ts about 600 miles. “he native name for the country is Tsyosi2a, or Chosen. The Chi- nese call it Kao Lee. The.Japanese know it as Korai, from which comes the English name. The climate ts cold, and in the summer they immediately begin to cast about tor delay and evasion.” The Confiding Red Ma Whether this is to the credit or discredit of the whites is not quite plain. It may be the evidence of their independence and pro- est against the outrageous overchorges that have been current here, or it may be m evi- dence of an inborn aversion to the discharge of debts. The Cherokees at times, through their simplicity, throw themselves open to be defrauded. An instance came under my ebservation. An Indian had just drewn more than $1,000, representing himself and family. All of this he carried in inis hat, which he held between his arms anj body, vo that it was fully exposed to view. Walk. ing up to the first merchant, whose booth s near, he asked: “Got “count?” ves, sir,” responded the merchant. “How much?” was the Indians next sues. | tion. “One hundred and thirty-five dollars,” came the dealer's reply. Whereupon the confiding debtor turned the hat to his creditor with the iniuaction to take out, and stood there until the anerchant satisfied his claim. This Indian chen visited other dealers and paid them im the same peculiar manner. He has receipts in full, but is wholly ignorant as to just what he paid for eack of them. In contrast to this was the conduct of another Cherokee. This one had become strongly impressed, evidently, with the no« tion that he had agreed to pay too much fow his supplies, and sitting as his own chancel- jor, had agreed that the contract should be svoided for failure of consideration and for fraud. After receiving his money he ap- proached a merchant. “How much?” he asked in that characteristic cruff tone so free from any inflection. a fie z Ott 2 Pe caleeel range run-| The dealer ran through bis books an@ : pny hip tarda Ot 6 km for Piney Folat, and, lower | inp Ger to Pitta g : HINGTON AND LER UNIVERSITY, = = Ss -s5+ ae patina’ Seceeienes er trot said: “One hundred and sixty doliars.” fonday: A Sccountonations arateieas, Fut reine | 432 Bayferghame,camandaten, Rochester ae SUGAR MAKING IN KANSAS |Sirfisc'tumtern id’ ine gente slope of | ,.,¥ill Pay clahig-fve no more.” was the ; tate room and all uformation apply 10-20 a.m. for Elmira and Reno, daily, except .

Many sugar mills have been erected in various parts of the state and thousands of dollars have been invested in the business, but there are now but two mills that make any attempt at operation, the others having been abandoned as fail- ures. Every possible encouragement has been given the promoters of the industry, which promised so much, both by the state and lo- calities in which mills have been butlt, but, rotwithstaniling this fact, the mills have cne after another become bankrupt, and the two that are still in operation during the sugat manufacturing season have met with cnly indifferent success by the most careful 2nd economical management. The farmers who grew the cane and sold it te the mills and marketed the seed and blades for feed to stockmen are the only parties who have made money out of the sorghum sugar busi- ress in Kansas. The subject of manufac- ture of sugar was first agitated in Kansas in 1887, when the state was passing through its boom period and when money was plenti- ful for investment in all kinds of enter- prises. There was no scheme so chimerical that capital was not forthcoming to give it a trial. An adventurer who concetved any project that had the semblance of feasibility did not find it necersary to seek long for money with which to promote it, for mil- lions of money from the middle and New England states was seeking investment in anything that gave remote promise of rich returns. And so when the subject of sugar was presented in an alluring way, and theorists explained how millions could be realized from sugar manufacture In Kansas, there were plenty of men with capital who were ready to invest in the business. The Sugar Craze. In the spring of 1887, toward the closing days of the session, the Kansas legislature enacted a law to encourage the manufacture of sugar, and a bounty of 3-4 of a cent a pound was authorized to be paid upon all sugar manufactured in the state from beets, sorghum or other sugar-ylelding canes or plants grown in Kansas. After the enact- ment of this law sugar mills sprang up like mushrooms. Cities, counties and towns voted bonds in their ald in large sums, and the enthusiastic Kansan could see in his state an immediate rival of Louisiana sugar producer. Sugar mill compantes re organized everywhere, and before the time for the maturing of that year’s crop of cane had arrived nearly a dozen large mills were completed and ready for business. One company built three mills on the southwestern extension of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad, at Meade, Liberal and Arkalon, at a cost of $195,000. The company was assisted largely by the voting of bonds in the towns In which the mills were located, and tn addition to this the railroad company lent substantial as- sistance. After running through a part of the first season the mills were closed, and no attempt has since been made to re- open them. They still stand at the side of the tracks where they were built and are still pointed to with pride by the admiring citizens whenever a visitor is shown over the town to wonder at its departed 3 Other mills age ee ae ee Con- way Springs, Minn (edicine 2, Attica, Topeka and other points. All have gone out of business except the mills at Medicine Lodge and Fort Scott. These are still operated a few months each year. ‘They Wanted the Sonds. In many of the mill enterprises the peo- Ccrea is rich in minerals; gold, silver, cop- per and coal are all common. The govern- ment shows itself thoroughly alive to this fact—gold mining is strictly prohibited, the permission to work silver mines has been revoked, the copper mines are neglected and the use of coal is confined to a few dis- tricts. There are a good many cattie, horses, dogs, pigs, goats and sheep. The sheep and goats are a royal moncpoly, and are only used for sacrifice. The people eat the dogs. OMctale. The priacipal ministers are the senzei- tsieng (or admirable counseUor, @ very use- ful official to have at hand), the tsoa-ei- tsleng and the cu-ei-tsieng. There are also judges, whose main function is the free use, as an incentive toward veracity, of disloca- Uon of legs, carding of calves with batons, cutting of thighs by continual friction with a cord or suspension by the arms. After this one is but faintly moved by the in- formation that the usual form of execution 1s decapitation. All officials are paid very high salaries. But as it is in the first social law of Corea that when in office a man has to support all his reiatives, the system seems to work out pretty even all round. The nature of the language can hardly ease the perplexities that will be seen to be- set the average Corean in discharging the duties of citizership. True, there are only fourteen consonants, but the vowels muster eleven and the diphthongs thirteen. Learn- ing, as in China, is held in high respect, but nobody learns particularly. Still there are competitive examinations for the pre- miership and such public posts, and a man takes his degree having his face sprin- kled witn flour wiped with ink, to the scund of music. The religion is Confucian, relieved by a firm trust in devils and great veneration for snakes. The People. Women hold a low position in Corean es- timation, and count for little in the sight of the law. As, however, they are not held personally responsible for any of their ac- tions, they presumably miss the favoring eye of the law less than most men. To the Chinese and Corean mind even approximate truth is absolutely useless and superfluous. The telegraph has penetrated to Corea, and a wire runs from Wan-San, a seaport town cn the east coast, to the capital, and to Chemulpo, on the west coast, but the railway has not been introduced. The many streams in Corea are used to work water-mills for grinding corn. These mills are of a very primitive construction. A tree trunk is hollowed out to a trough at one end, and ts so balanced on a pair of trennions set in a frame that when the trough is filled with water, led to it from the neighboring stream, the trough end sinks, the water is discharged a the log resumes its place; the other end being fitted with a wooden peg acts as a pestle on the grain, piaced in a :nortar sunk in the ground. This takes place six to nine times @ minute. ——— Vessels Plundered by Riff Pirates. Following close upon the plundering of the St. Vincent, a French vessel, by the Riffs, it is announced that the pirates of that coast have plundered a Mayer, belonging to Gibralta’ and that they have escaped, taking = cargo children should be held back until the In- ian courts should decide who of the par- ents should have charge ef the children, and, therefore, receive their moncy. Hun- dreds of Indians were then living apart, each deeming life with the other out of ali question. Bat they were anxious to secure all money possible, the decrees of the courts were uncertain, and a long delay belag at last assured, this provision, it seems, im- mediately charged the feelings of the es- tranged parents in all cases where minor cil@ren were living, and negotiations were quickly begun for family reunion’. The re- sult is there are doubtless more reunited families in the Cherakee nation today than can be found in the same population any- where on earth. How long this will be 80 depends largely on the time occupied by the payments. The Rabies Are Numerous. The Cherokees have also made themscives the rivals of the earth's most prolific peo- ple, though it is doubtful if any nation ever before gave its parents such an incentive as $265 for every baby born within two years, This is what the law regulating the “strip” payment really did, however, and it is evi- dent now that it was generally so construed. It provided that every Cherokee man, woman or infant living on March 1, 1894, should receive his or her pro rata share of the $7,000,000, the infant's part going to the trustees, who, in this case, were their parents. As a direct result or very re- markabie coincideace of this provision ts the estimate that more than 3,000 babies have been born in the eighteen months preceding last March, which gives a birth to almost every married couple in the nation. “In- fants, mewling and puking in their nurses’ arms.” are being presented constantly to establish their claims and secure their por- tions to the parents. The fact that all Cherokee Indians of this nation, wherever found, were entitled to share in the disbursement caused a great influx of prodigal sons and daughters. Hun- dreds of those who had disagreed with their people or married outside the territory, or perhaps deliberately regoynced their coun- try to make their fortunes among the whites, have returned to touch this stream of gold, more fascinating, far, than any ever dreamed of in the “happy hunting grounds” of their ancestors. The amount each receives has been determined, of course, by the number of established claims, and, accordingly, these returning children have received, in many cases, but a poor welcome indeed. They are here from all parts of the Union; the prodigals have come home again, but the fatted calves have not suffered much. There is very poor feasting, too, and the music at times ts terribly dis- cordant of these recent incomers will remain. They will return to their homes elsewhere, and struggle along, watching and waiting for another government purchase of Cherokee lands. Jefferson Davis, In his early days as an army officer, was once stationed et Fort Gibson; this was als» the scene of Henry M. Stanley's work as a school teacher be- fere he became famous; and James G. Blaine also made his home here at one time, but never before has Port Gibson been So interesting to the Cherokees, in whose country it fs, 2s at present. Its great so- journers are already forgotten, but the pay- ment now in progress wall live much longer in the traditions of this indian nation. — John Raper Hodson, one of the oldest members of the Chicago board of trada, his home Monday “ight of heart
