The theory that the climate and
rainfall in Western Kansas can be
improved by building dams across
ravines, and thus forming ponds il
which water will be stored, is exciting
general interest throus hout the State.
The Champion has great confidence
in the theory. 1t will cost very little
to try it. Nearly every farmer at the
expense of few days labor, can
build such a storage pond. There
are few farms in Kansas on which
some natural depression Of the sur
face will not afford good location,
and the labor of a day or two will
throw across its outlet an embank-
ment of brush and dirt that will stop
the flow of water during rainy per-
iods. The experiment ought to be
tried not by few farmers. but by all.
I-Atchison Champion.
1t is all well enough to advocate the
private construction of dams by indi-
viduals, but it won work. What is
everybody's business is nobody's bus
mess, and the saying will hold true
concerning the individual building of
dams. A few dams will be of no ef.
feet whatever in the immense plains
Ii law was enacted that all the draws
on public highways should be graded
up so as to form dams to hold pools
of water it would accomplish as nearly
as might be the effect intended. In
Thomas and many western counties
of Kansas the law is that every sec
ton line is public highway; now, il
the further provision that the high
ways should be damned in the man
ner here suggested were the law, ther
tens of thousands of small pools Of
water would be the result. Such .
provision, if adopted and carried int
execution would accomplish the pur
pose, and should be enacted, provided
it be constitutional. Individual effor
in this direction should be encourag
ed. but something more general should
be enforced.

Our Nav York invoices of goods of all descriptions, carefully selected by our Mir. Heineman, are coming to hand and have filled my store to re- pletion.

 My old maxim, of carrying limited stock and turning the same over ire quently during the year, win be car ried out in the future as has been done in the past, for this system insutes my patrons not only new goods, but fresh goods as well, and does not make my shelves the receptacle of unreasonable out.oi-fashioned goods, which tire and make weary the eye of the beholder.

The Board of Supervisors have dis charged the obligation incurred by proclamation of the late sheriff of Gia county, offering a reward of $200 for the apprehension and delivery of the two murderers of the freigbter Cosper, ou ,he San Carlos road. It was only at the October term of the District Court that conviction of one of them was obtained, the other having been killed in an endeayor to arrest him, tbere being no delivery or legal iden- h6cation therefor, the obligation to pay reward was negated Tn conse- quence. The Board, however, being satisfied of the guilt of the deceased, the technicaiitiy was waived, and the full measure of the reward (S200) was transmitted to Capt J L. Bulls to pay to the parties entitled to H.
 The Supervisors have acted with eommendable promptDess and liberal. ity in this matter, and in addition. they have supplemented the reward offered by the Governor of the TerrI- tory, by an offer of $50 for the appre henSion and ohviction of each of the eight Indians implicated in the mur- der of Reynolds and Holmes and wound,ng of Middleton. and who are now fngitiyes. Our Board was also instrumental in having the Governor issue a proclamation of reward.

ENGAGEMENT RErul.lArED.

Since the days of cbivairic fame when Templars grasped the handlesof their swords and bright steel glittered in that long array of True Knights, on their way to the Latin Quarter of the c,ty of Jerusalem (so clustered with memories of the chief events of our Lords passion, death, and burial) for the protection of his sepulchre, chivalry has so degenerated that, in our day, the timidity of Bob Acres seems to have taken the place of the qualifications ot knightly valor.
 That we are not mistaken, we have ouly to cite the fact that latter-day Knights, some of whcm as members of the Grand Lodge of the Masonic order in Arizona, had, by vote at former meeting, appointed Globe as their place of meeting, on Tuesday last, the 18th instant, and they now offer as an excuse for not keeping their engagement, that they fear to face baselesS rumor that "the Apacbes are bad in Globe" Such men, who fear to face shadow, will never track the steps of glory to the grave.
 This outery, that life is not safe in Globe, or the roads leading to it, Is as idle as dream, which leaves no trace. Thoroughiares leading to Globe are daily travelled by heavily freighted teams, men and women in stages, per sons on foot and on horseback. who are not Knights, and therefore, the reason given by members ofthe Grand Lodge for repudlaling their engage ment will not be accepted as valid excuse, especially alter four horse coaches had been engaged by their Gila county brethren, and which were m waiting at Florence, 10 convey them to Globe; rooms prepared for them, the fatted calf killed, the cup of welcome tipping over, and they notified that Globe was serenely tranquil.
 The action of those who refused to carry out the obligation of a former Grand Lodge, reflected only upon themselves, and conveys to the unini- tiated Tn Masonlc law that some are ethieally lax in the observance of moral obligations. And while that IS the case. the impression is sown broad cast, through the action of members who dislike staging, that the Indians Tn Globe and vicinity have craving appetite Tor the white man blood. II We believed that the supposed scourge of white men by lndians was the cause of members switching off from Globe to Tucson, we would pray 10 be unsexed, tbat, in order, like Mote, we might dissolve ourSelf in tears as an evidence of sympathy for the weak ness of mankind, who are Knights. But as we place no credence Tn the the excuse, we feel we have no neces- sity for extra dry handkerehiefs.
 Notwithstanding the recent display of skulls and cross bones, we aver that there has never been an abrasion of tue skin of a white man, woman or child, by Indians iu Globe, and those who assert otherwise are indebted to imagination for their belief. Dangers of frighlful shape are no more to be apprehended here than In Tucson.
