Just as the train was pulling into a

several splint baskets and then handed
the baskets to a half dozen ragged

to stop at the station, the lads dropped
down on the platform with shrill Here's

and by changing run them down until
they could rope them.
At Towards ranch they said it was
twenty-five miles to water, and we
started with one canteen full. We went
on the reach our twenty-five miles, but
at the end of f1fty-ive miles we found
all the water we wanted. we found
some about noon the second day but it
was in a mudhole, but it was q ground
hog case, so we filed the kettle and
strained the water, boiled it, SKINNED it,
then let it settle and we had something
that looked ike water. We finally
cooked it and drank some, but we had
to shut our eyes and harden our hearts
and draw largely on our imagination to
think it was coffee.
Our route from Medicine Lodge to
Buffalo Springs in Texas. was through a
very high dry country if we left the
streams, and there was but few OF
them, the uplands are too dry for any
thing. Upon those high table lands in
the strip the cattle do not go, for they
must have water and they cannot get it
there. We have seen hundreds of cattle
on our trip that died for want of water
OF what use these high dry plains will
ever be is a problem that cannot be de-
cideded for a long time, for without
water they are of no use. and no one has
been able TO make it rain yet. although
theories have been advanced that culti
walton will cause rain, but the rainfall
for the last six years IL the eastern part
Of Kansas has been less than for the pre-
vious six years. Some say raise timber
and It VIII rain, but statistics from the
states of Maine, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin show that they have as much rain
since the timber was cut off as before, so
that this dry and barren country over
which we passed must be bone of con-
tention for years to come.

INroxIcATIoN NO DEFENSE.

The supreme court of Kansas has done
well to reaffirm the sound principle OF
common law that drunkenness is no JUS
LITIGATION or excuse for crime commit
ted under its influence. In the case IN
point murder was committed by man
who became intoxicated and afterwards
sought mercy on the ground that he was
unconscious of what he was doing. The
murderer seemed to be a DR.. Jekyil IN
his sober moments but veritable Hyde
when the devil of drink had aroused all
the brutal passions within him. Ills
counsel sought leniency for him, for the
crimes committed when under the infiu-
ence of liquor, but the righteous court
held that when man deliberately put
himself in condition Of brutality he
was responsible for every crime that re-
suited 1t is very common for offenders
to plead intoxication as an excuse for
some act of deviltry, and sometimes 1t IS
a successful plea and saves them from the
punishment they deserve. But when a
man deliberately takes away his Judg-
ment, reason and self-control he should
be made to suffer for whatever follows as
much as if he had committed crime with
all his mental faculties unclouded. Ii
DR.. Jeykll drank potion that trans

NOT LUCKY FOR OTHERS.

From the Omaha Republican.
The fat Mephisto whom the Demo-
Gratis have renominated has been polit-
ical upas tree. Every one who has come
within his circle has died politically,
mentally, morally and physically: Take
his cabinet; Bayard went into the state
depa' tment and ''fizzled. Before this
he had commanded the respect of the
country Endicott is not worth talking
about. Whitney is neck deep in the
local scandals of New York City. Gar
land invested in Pan-electric. Lamar
passed from his opium dream i'll the in
terror department to place on a bench
before which he had never been permit
ted to practice. Villas went from the
postoffice department to the interior de-
partment with doubtful record of TIM
Der grab hanging over his head. Don
Dickinson went into the cabinet to sue
coed Villas and he has been dismal des-
uetude ever since. Cleveland is bad luck
to any one who supports him or has any
thing to do with him. He is what the
theosophists call an evil absorption and
misuse of the astral.

A NOTEWORTHY PARALLEL.

There have been just two Democratic
candidates for president renominated by
acclamation. They are Martin Van
Buren, and Grover Cleveland. The facts
of history present some interesting COM
parsons and suggestions, and the paral-
lei in this case is very noteworthy. Van
Buren, was nominated and elected vice
president in 1882 Serving out his term,
be became candidate for first place in
1886, secured it, and was elected. He
proved SO popular with his party or with
its managers that he had no difficulty in
securing a nomination by acclama-
ton in 1910. Doubtless the re-
formers said in those days.
why, how very popular our president
must be, to be repominated by acclama-
toni They probably expected that he
would be reelected without any effort
and were already arranging to take their
share of the offices in the second term.
The news came that this popular favor
lite had been beaten out of sight by Gen
eral Harrison, the wing candidate. The
reclamation man received about sixty
electoral votes, and his successful oppo-
nent received about four times as many.
So the Democrats who are inclined to be
unduly hopeful over Mr.. Cleveland's re-
by reclamation should re-
member the fate of Van Buren,, the only
other Democrat thus distinguished.

ALFALFA.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The EAGLES remark upon the growth
of Alfalfa in Kansas suggests recital
of the experience Of William B. Mar
SHALL of Riley county. Some years ago
he sowed a five acre field with alfalfa.
He has been taking three crops from it
every year: the first in the beginning Of
June, second about the end of July and
the third in September. The yield in
one summer from two full crops and two
and one-half acres as third crop Qeaving
two one-half acres for seed was thirty
two heavy loads, each weighing more than
a ton. The remaining two and half
acres yielded about seven loads, which
was thrashed for the seed and yielded
about sixteen bushels. The seed sold for
So per bushel, making total of 1928 for
the third crop, upon two and half acres,
beside the straw, which the cattle relish
much better than prairie hay. Forty
two loads of hay upon five acres gives
eight and two-fifths loads, or tons, per
acre as a seasons crop. He assured me
that this was no uncommon yield. He
estimates the crop, as he raised it, to be
worth 800 per acre each year. One
bushel of seed will SOW several acres.

leave the other food for it. They clean
it up, too. The stems are not rejected,
as one would think. First crop upon a
ten acre field came up and made a good
stand during spring and summer Of 1897.
The soil is not river bottom but good up
land a short distance from creek. Other
men, neighbors, are getting good crops
upon upland prairie.
The alfalfa seems to root down into
the ground, and Mr. N. says it is very
hard to kill out. OF course, farmer
must look after this crop more carefully
than some hay crops. Time of sowing
first year, and time for taking crops off
are important points. The first men
toned five acres furnishes feed for some
twenty calves in early spring and late
fall, besides its trio of summer crops
