Schobert, one of Seymour's most prominent and respected citizens and busi ness men, died this morning of chronic liver trouble, aged sixty years. He leaves a family. The people of this city are terribly en raged at a bold piece of scoundrelism per petrated last evening. Shortly after dark a strange brute in human shape drove to tne front oi the Williams residence, oa Indianapolis avenue, occupied by three sisters, Misses Frankie, Dollie and Ida Williams, in a buckboard. He advanced to the front door, on which he gently knocked when Ida, the younger sister, aged about nlteen years, opened the door, when ebe was grasped by the nocturnal rascal who threw his arms around her waist and said "kiss me good night, Ida." She feeing of muscular build and strong managed to free herself from his lecheron's grasp, and ran into tne bouse, and raised the alarm. The scoundrel jumped into his vehicle and drove hurriedly away. This was the bald' est piece of villainy ever attempted in beymour. Ida is winsome and highly ea teemed, and there is no doubt the strang er's object was to kidnap the young lady. lAfayette New Items. Lafayetti, September 11. Special loom as J.

There has been a great coming and going among soldiers here for the past two days, lms city has been literally crowded full of old veterans. The reunion commenced on ths Cth, bat little was done till the 7th and 8th. I will give you some or the incidents of the affair. The leunion was well adver tised. General Wilder had se.nt out word tbat every man who had belonged to the 17th Indiana. 72i Indiana, ISM) Indiana battery, 93th Illinois, and 123d Illinois organizations, if in attendance, would be TTteented with a nice silver medal from bim and his wife personal. The boys came, a part of the medals came, mere were rrtscnt nearly 900 of the old veteran of tbe old brigade and only 550 medals distributed. The General said to tte boyi tlat owirg to tbe breaking of the "die, ' on which these medals were made that he could not get the required number for all of the old command. Hundreds of these boys had come many miles on their own expense in order to meet their old comrades and get a badge oi their old brigade commander. When they found out that they were not to get what they came for some of them felt very badly over the matter. Gen. Wilder has prom ised to make good his promise by sending to each of the boys who were Kit out in the cold a badge-medal as Boon as the same can be made. The meeiing-at Greencastle was a great success as to attendance and good management on the part of th good people of that city, ine people ot ureencastle will long be remembered for their magnificent hospitality to the old veterais of the "old Lightning brigade." There were some funny incidents and singular things connected with the ra un ion. During the proceedings of Wednesday, Wednesday night and Thursday it was quite evident to the close observer that the leaders would like to turn the whole matter to tbe advantage of the Republican party. During Wednes day s proceedings lien, wilder was very particular to spot "copperheads' and rebels. Dunbar and Con ally were a little more careful, as there were a great many old Democratic veterars in the ranks from Illinois who were on the alert. Oa Wednes day evening Judge Coffea, of this city, pre sided, to the great satisfaction oiali. There were a number of short specnesmaie, the most notable by Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, of the College Avenue M. E. Church, of Greencastle. This gentleman is a total stranger to your correspondent. He is a very learned man and has traveled in many of the foreign countries. His speech was a model of good taste and good sense. In the closing part of his address he used this lan guage almost word for word, "I did not vote for Grover Cleveland. I am a Republican, and may difier with tbe President in somethings, which is mv right I want to sav right here that the President of the United States is my President and entitled to my respect as such, and tbat any soldier of the Grsnd Army who would attempt to iasuitor injure the President would be unworthy to wear the badge of a Grand Army man." This was about the exact words of the preacher. The Rev. Ira J. Chase was sitting c'ose by, and you ought to have seen the scowl in his red shining phisz. The address of Rev. Parkhurst was a terrible lick at the Tuttle and FdirchlldForaker crew. Then came CoL Matson with one of his pleasant and conservative addresses, which was more than suitable for the occasion, and was well received by his vast audience before him. Thess address of Rev. Parkhurst and CoL Matson should be printed and read by evry citizen of Indiana. It will be remembered that heretofore, that at all of these reunions and at the Republican meetings, there has been a continual bowl about how Indiana soldiers were treated, etc. The soldiers' monument and the soldiers' Orphans' Home is no more the political shiboleth of the Chases, Melders, Harrisons, Carnahans aud others of that persuasion. Never oncewera these matters mentioned, except by some Democratic veteran at the proper time and manner. Upon these Tmatters the .Republican speakers were as silent as the grave. These fellows are not going to tell the old soldiers thatjthe last Democratic State Senate, in which there were seven old Democratic veterans, forced through over Republican tricks the Monument bill, the Soldiers' Home bill and took the feeble minded children away from Knlghtstown. These political schemers who try to control the old soldiers, for their votes only, will soon find out that they will be met in kind when necessary. There was much discussion among the old comrades as to the actions of Tuttle and other hundreds towards the President of tbe Republic. It is quite manifest tiat there ia a great feeling egainst Tuttle and company over this matter. It is quite certain that this Tuttle and company matter will come up in the St. Louis encampment during the present month. If the course cf Tuttle and his backers is sustained at St. Louis we may all expect a general "bust up" and that all the Democrat aud loyal Republican comrades will withdraw in a body. The old comrades who stand upon the great watch word of fraternity, charity and loyalty will stand by the right and there will cot be any flinching at tbe proper time. The soldiers fought for the constitution, law and order, and the time bss come when they will not be political machines any longer, as many have been in the past. So you may look cut for a warm time at St. Louis. Old Soldier. Gould Buys the B. & O. Telegraph. New Yoek, September 9. It was reported on the Stock Exchange this afternoon that Jay Gould bad bought tbe Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph lines; consideration, $3,000,000 in Western Union stock. The announcement was followed by a wild scene in the Western Union crowd, fully 200 brokers gathering around the spot alloted to it in the Exchange and their purchases, which were enormous, forced the price from 77 to 797a In less than a quarter of an hour. Gculd was on Wall street for a good part of the day in conference with members of the Baltimore and Ohio syndicate for over an hour and a halL At 3 o'clock sharp he left for Irvington. President Green, of the Western Union Company, refaed to fpesk in regard to the matter. One of the representatives of the syndicate admitted, however, tbat the report was only premature ard that the sale was inevitable. What the terms were he refused to state. Tbe talk on the street was that the stock of i Le Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company, amounting to $3.872 C93 and held by tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad among Its af sets, will be exchanged for Western Union stock, and that the arrangements made will probably be placed before the stockholders at the annual meeting on the second Wednesday la October,

SORGHUM SUGAR

CcmmiEsiener Cilanin EiiM Ofar th) Fort Scott Works' Saccesj. The Diffusion Process Gets Mere Out ef the Plant Than the Old Plan A Paying Plant In the Future. "Washisgtok, September 12. Commiss!oner Colman has just returned from an official visit to Fort Scott, Kas., where the Department of Agriculture is conducting experiments in making sugar from sorghum by the diffusion process, and exprerees himself as being delighted with the results obtained already. He says the experiments consist in the trial of a new process in making sugar in this country, which dispenses entirely with the costly and ponderous mills and steam engines, etc., and uses a far simpler and less expensive method for extracting the juice, by which all the saccharine matter is obtained, while by the former methods from thirty to forty per cent on the averaee of the 1'uice, even with the southern sugar cane, is eft in the cane after passing through the mill, and with sorghum a still larger quantity because of greater difficulty in extracting. The new process is called the diffusion or saturation process. The cane is cut into chips and passed into a battery of twelve cells, each holding a ton of chips. Hot water is then applied which rapidly exhausts the saccharine matter so thoroughly that there is scarcely a trace of It left. The cells are entirely practical, being speedily filled, manipulated and emptied, one man attending the entire operation. The process is as rapid as the old method, less costly, and enables the manufacturers to secure and ctiliza all the jaica instead of half as heretofore. Similar experiments were made last year, but the cutlers machinery, and the method were all new here, and self difficulties occured which could not be overcome at ones. Some 50.000 pounds of susar were, however made last year, though we considered the experiment a failure. The commissioner said: "Having had more time and the experience of last year to guide us, I am more than pleased to be able to say that all the difficulties saem now to have been overcome. The people of Ft. Scott, after the first week's successful working of the factory, were carried away with enthusiasm. The Board of Traoe called a special meeting and filled ore of the largest hall3 in the city, where congratulatory speeches were made, followfd by a banquet, and there was general joiciDg throughout thecily." The department is also conducting exprimex4s at Rio Grand, New Jersey, with the sama process, and I have just received a telegram from our superintendent who tajs: 'As nearly as can be estimated from the masecute in the hot room, the first acre of cane will yield about 1100 pounds of crystalized sugar.' This confirms the experiments at Ft Soott, the yield not being quite as large in New Jersey the soil not being so rich. "The results of these experiments upon the country will, I believe, be mojt bene ficial, our nation is paying $100.000,000 accually to the sugar producers of other ; countries, and if we have demonstrated that we can profitably produce sugir on our own farms, it is a matter of the highest importance to the country. It will not only keep this money at home, but will save to our people $o,(XX),uuu annually in customs duties. CoL Parkinson, the manager at St. Scott, would have been satisfied with eeventy-iive pounds of crystalizsd sugar per ton and with the seed and mo laEces at present prices, could have run his factory at a profit, but now, when he comes to get at least fifty pounds more per ton his enthusiasm is very great, I cannot see why cur people should not go to making sugar. A complete sugar factory will cost about as much ts a flouring mill, and cm be run at great profit according to the present experiment. "Farmers are glad to raise the cane at $2 per ton, aud at that it pays better than other farm products. There is an overproduction of most farm crops, making prices ruinously low, and if this new industry will employ a portion of those now raifcirg other things at no profit, it will give great relief to the farming classes and open a most promising field for both farmer and manufacturer. The annual consumption ot sugar per capita is about forty pounds. Our population Is doubliag every twenty years. At the end of the next 25 years we will b3 payLae at least $200 000,000 for sugar per year. Tnis money we can keep at home and distribute among our own people. I look upon these experiments as important to this country as the invention of the cotton gin. They have demonstrated that we have a Bugar plant that can be grown, and no flouring mill is more surely turning out its quota of Hour than are the Parkinson Sugar Works at Ft.8cott, Kas.,turning out their quota of sugar to-day, and sugar of the best quality, polarizing 193.9. Tbe mill is capable of working up every twenty hours 150 tons of cane, making therefrom 13,000 pounds of sugar or more. "From the first swinging in the centrifugals, from 100 to 115 pounds ot sugar per ton of cane was obtained, and about twenty pounds more are expected from the second swinging. A yeld of from ten to fifteen tons of cane per acre was being secured, which would produce by this new process from 1 200 to 1,500 pounds of sugar. This Bugar is worth by the car load 6c per pound. 1 left there after the first week's work, and it was'estimated that over 100.0CO pounds of sugar had already been made. The sugar was there to be seen by everybody, too. Nor is this alL To every ton of cane, aside from the sugar in it, there are some ten or twelve gallons of molasses, and also the seed raised upon the cane, amounting to about twenty-five bushels per acre, and just as good for feeding all kinds of stock as Indian corn. Indeed the seed, it is estimated, will pay tor raising the cane, which is a merit possessed by no other sugar plant." a. "It has taken a long time to overcome all of tne obstacles that have been rust, but they have been overcome, as it cow seems. This new process will be tried on Southern cane. I have arranged for conducting similar experiments in Louisiana with the ribbon cane and we hare all the necessary machinery now ready for conducting the most crucial testa in comparison with the beet milling processes in existence. As the Southern cane does not mature until November, we cannot beein our experiments until that time, but I am sanguine of their success. I am not unmindful that there has been much enthusiasm expressed in the past relative to sorghum sugar. The trouble was that under the old systems but forty pounds of a sugar per ton ot cane could b) obtained, while under tbe new process much more tban 100 pounds is obtained. Thererore, while under the old methods it was sound unprofitable to make sugar, under the new system the large Increased yield will prove a profitable Industry, even at tbe present prices of sugar. I may be called enthusiastic, but seeing is believing, and front what I have seen in the past few weeks I believe that in a few years' time everybody will admit that there is very good grounds for my present enthusiasm. Michigan's Wheat Crop. Lahsikg, Mich., September 9. The September crop report of the Secretary of State shows that he has received G95 returns from 552 townships. Four hundred and ninety of these returns are from S58 townships in the southern four tiers of counties. Trie total yield of wheat is placed at 22,002,049 bushels. This total is found by multiplying the acreage in a ten j county as returned in May by the superjisgrs py wi average f er $s suwwa vj

the threshers records. The number of acres reported threshed in tha State ia 230,623. Independent of the record kept by threshers' correspondents have made a can vats and reportfromithe southern counties 1 616,903 bushels threshed from 123,192 acres. Computing by county, ai before, tbe probable prod act obtained for the State is 22,100,117 bushels or 37,503 bushels more than found by using the acreages obtained from the thsesbers'(records. The quantity of wheat reported marketed in August is 752 741 bushels of the 1336 wheat crop, and 13,800.700 bushels have been reported marketed to date.

Secretary of tbe State Board Reports Only Oalf the Usual Crop. TorsKA, Kas., September 9. William Sims, secretary cf the State Board of Agriculture, this morning made the folio win? official statement of the condition of the crops in Kansas for the month closing August 31: Wheat Winter and spring: We note no change since the date of our last report one month ago. The probable product is 7.470,375 bushels, which, with the old wheat on hand, will about meet the requirements of the State for Beed and bread. Corn In view of the very general demand for definite information relating to this crop the board has for the purposes of this report extended its inquiries much beyond its list of regular correspondents, and after a careful compilation and thorough analysis of the information received from all rources, find the area planted to be 6,520,403 acres, or 11 per cent in excess of our former year, of this, end 2,520,332 acres, or 40 per cent, while valuable for fodder will not be worth husking, leaving 4,000,076 acres from which a product may be expected. This acreage we estimate will yield 82.557,253 bushels, or 40 per cent, of the average annual product for five yesrs, which together with the old corn now on hand (which we estimate at 12,000,000 bushels) will, we think, when properly distributed, about meet the requirements of the State. The counties of Alien, Anderson, Bourbon, Bran, Butler, Chautauqua.

Ia the Whole Bideous Catalogus Of diwaccs there were none which previous to the discovery of Eontetier's Stomach Bitters, offered more formidable resistance to tbe old fashioned modes ol treatment than the group of maladies which, under the collective name of malarial disease, afflicted entire communities that suffered helplessly. Chills and fever, dumb ague, ague cake and bilious remittent were once retarded as well nigh incuraoie. Now it rejoices the hearts of thousands who reside in districts periodically subject to the visitation of malaria, to feel certain that in the Sitters they possess a certain defense aeralnst the scourge, a sure means ot expelling its poison from the system. To tbe settler in the far West, the new emigrant thither, and to travelers and tourists by land and sea, the possession ot this pleasant safeguard is a guaranty ot safety from diseases which they might vainly seek from any other 6ource. The Train Bobbers Escape. ArsTiK, Tex.. September 12 Information just received from Maucbaca is to the tßect that the two train robbers supposed to be surrounded in a pasture four miles from Manchaca never entered the enclosure at all, and the officers found they had been given the slip. Instead of going into the enclosure they succeeded in getting into a crtck bottom, down which they traveled several miles, aud then hid In the brush until about sundown, when they apEroached a farm house and bought two orses and saddles, hats and shoes, saying that they were cattle buyers, and bad been robbed. They mounted their steeds and rede off in an easterly direction, leading to the dense bottoms in the Geagus, where it is generally believed they have friends. Anolher posse secretly left here hoping to intercept them, and got on their track twenty miles from where they had cut some wire fences. Since then nothing has been heard from them. The Governor has notified the sheriffs of the counties east to, take to the fields and keep a eharp lookout. He is confident that they are the leaders of the train robber's gang, and that their capture will break it up. Advice to Mothers. Urs.
