A year or two ago when the natural
gas idom was all the rage, the prediction
was made that the supply would not
last, and some scientists q went SO far
as to predict that when the great subter-
ranean stores of gas were emptied and
the pressure that sustained the earth
shove should be thus removed. there
would occur collapses of the earth at
such points that would produce wide
spread CONSERVATION. if not destruction
to life and property. 1t is already an
nounced that the natural gas flow gener-
ally is failing rapidly; that the most
powerful wells are becoming exhausted.
This verifcation of the prediction as to
the supply being thus made, it is not
strange that the more nervous people in
such localities should begin to feel more
or less apprehensive of the collapse that
is to follow. Meanwhile consumers Of
the natural product are anxiously cast
ing about for fuel and lighting SUBJ

In signing the Newberry bill recently
passed by the Missouri legislature, while
he simply performed a plain duty to
society, Governor Francis is still entitled
to the congratulations OF good people
and lovers of good morals extant for so
doing. The question of drinking, bad as
that habit is. is not the only nor indeed
the worst feature of the saloon influence.
The associate vices of gambling and
other dissolute practices contribute little
less than excessive drinking toward
bringing the grogshop, called by what
ever name, into universal disreIute. If
the terms Of the Newberry law are COM
piled with and the dance halls, card and
other gaming tables and gambling de-
vices eliminated from the public saloon,
Missouri society will have been freed
from the most baleful consociate infiu-
ence of that institution.

Local hailstorms have occurred through
out Kansas and Missouri during the past
week, doing much damage wherever they
struck. Sedgwlck, Kingman, Clay. Sheri-
dan and Russell counties in Kansas are
the ones in which most damage was sus-
tained.-Salina Gazette.
The foregoing statement is incorrect
as far as Sedgwick county is concerned.
No damaging hailstorms or any other
sort have visited Sedgwick thus far this
year. And the reported damage by hail
IN the other localities mentioned, we
have reason to believe, is largely over
drawn; in fact there has been no de-
structive hailstorms in the state this
year. The foregoing statement probably
originated in the lying specials sent
from this and other points to papers
printed outside the state.

Big Corn Crop.

From the Des MONIES Register.
There is an immense crop of corn
to be gathered in Iowa this fall
greater than was gathered in any
State since corn was raised. No pat
ent device has been successfully in
vented to expedite the business. 1t
has to be hand-picked. The crop stat
isticians out of the State put the a
mount at IS, OO0,OO more than we have
ventured to state. is 1886, 200, 1853
bushels. How many days will it take
to gather this crop? At forty bushel
per hand per day it would take one
man 26,215 years, or more than three
times.as long as since the creation OF
Adam. Or supposing there are forty
good days for corn harvest, it will
make S,2O5,2,6 wagon loads
at forty bushels to the load,
and if they were in procession, each
wagon and team occupying 40 feet,
the procession would be 155, 407 miles
long, or more than SIX times round
the earth. hope some of the young
agricultural school boys will figure
this out, to see if we have made any
serious errors. We count 313. working
days in the year.

Last Of the BuffaloeS.

Last VI lnS
Washington Post.
Twenty years ago there roamed
over the plains and untains of the
far west nearly 100000 buffaloes.
To-day there are less than 500 head
of the animals in existence. There
are but eighty-five head of wild buff
faloes, 3O4 alive in captivity, and
about 200 under the protection of the
government in Yellowstone park.
There is also said to be about $50
head in the British possessions, north
OF Montana, but this is rumor. OF the
eighty-five head of wild buftalOes
which are known to exist, twenty-five
are in Texas, twenty in Colorado,
twenty-six in Wyoming, ten in Mon
tana and four in Dakota. The statis-
tics have been carefully gathered by
the. officials of the Smithsonian in
stitution, and it is absolutely known
that the number stated comprise all
the wild buffaloes of the world. The
skeletons of the numerous herd OF
score of years ago are bleaching on
the Western plains of the American
Nimrod.
