Iy and got seven hundred and three
bushels, an average of seventy and one

the benefits of irrigation.
Sherman County Democrat: The
farmers all say that they have never
seen the corn so far advanced and look
ing so well at this time of year since
they came to the county. Eas.ss. @
George Smith, the elevator boy at
the Copeland hotel, at Topeka, met
shocking death on SATURDAY afternoon,
which appears to have been the result
of carelessness, although there were
no witnesses to the terrible accident.
1t appears he was going up with the
cage, and lying on the floor, looking
below, was caught by projecting iron
support of the upper floor and his head
crushed IN a frightful manner. In all
probability he was insensible from the
first. The skull was crushed like an
egg she'll, the eyes were forced from
their sockets, the tongue protruded
from the mouth and was bitten in two,
and the teeth had been ground out and
had fallen upon the floor of the car.
The boys nose and lips were cut almost
IN two.
Downs Chief: The contractors who
have been at work on the waterworks
wells for the past week, found water at
the depth of 80 feet, in nine feet of
gravel. They attached a steam syphOn
to find out the exact amount of water
the we'll would furnish. 1t threw out
with great force a three inch stream
or about one hundred and twenty
gallons per minute, and the best of all
the water is soft as rainwater. This is
a bonanza for our city, an abundance Oe
pure soft water being a thing our
people We're not expecting.
Hutchinson News: The only thing
that married the Sabbath day peace in
Topeka was the fact that no one knew
what Mrs. Norton said to Moore during
the hour she spent with him at the Jail.
The Commonwealth A touching
sight was witnessed last evening upon
one of the principal avenues on this
side of the river. The attention of
several gentlemen was attracted to a
singular procession, consisting of a
man, who walked at the head with u
pick and shovel on his shoulder, fol-
lowed by small boy harnessed to a
very rudely constructed wagon, such
as Is manufactured from a store box
with the aid of a saw and penknife In
the wagon was a small box, over which
was thrown an old shawl. Following
this came a small girl, perhaps 10
years of age, who was weeping bitterly.
1t was readily OWNED that it was
funeral procession of some sort and in
quiry developed the fact that the box
IN the little wagon contained the re-
mains of an infant of q few months
age, which had died after about
weeks illness. The mother was lying
sick at home and the family being too
poor to afford the expense of any other
kind of a funeral and too proud to ask
the county to bury their baby, the
father and remaining children had
started out at dusk to perform the last
sad rites for the little one themselves.
The only other mOurner IN the sad
procession was a dog which looked as
if he had seen better days and walked
along as if fully conscious of the affect
ing character of their mission and the
