Parsons, of Wamego, Kan, a CORES
pondent Of the Kansas City Times.
1t is upon the question of increasing
and retaining moisture in the western
states, and advances the same thoughts
advanced by the editor of this paper
some months ago. We believe there is,
in this plan of creating small lakes or
ponds through the country, by dam
ming the small draws ON every quarter
section of land, a means of increasing
moisture right at our hands, and, as the
doctor suggests, united effort on the
part of our people could be made to
gain the cooperation and assistance of
the government in furthering the ven
ture.
Study the matter, reader, and see if
there is not that in the proposition
which is well worth investigating.

Report of Grand Jury.

To the Honorable Commissioners of Bar
tom County, Kansas.
GENTLEMEN:-We, the Grand Jury.
empanneled and sworn on the 9Th day
of February, A. D. 1889, herewith SUBJ
NIT the following report:
We have made thorough investiga-
ton of the paupers at the poor house
farm and we find that the pOOrmaster,
Mr.. White, has performed his duty
faithfully, and exhonorate him from all
blame in the matter.
We have given special attention to
the investigation of liquor statements
and find no Irregularities of any kind
worthy of notice. We have furnished
black list of chronic purchasers, and
recommended that the druggists sell no
liquors to any one on this list without
a physicians prescription.
We have examined the privies and
out-houses belonging to the county,
and recommend that the paupers kept
in Great Bend at the expense of the
county be required to clean and keep
clean said Out-houses, under the direc-
ton of the county clerk.
We carefully examined the county
Jail, and pronounce it unsafe, un-
healthy, and unfit for the purpose occu-
pied, not having proper light and venti-
lation; and we strongly urge the neces-
sity of building new Jail, with accom-
modations for prisoners of both sexes,
with separate rooms and cells, at as
early day as practicable.
We find that the present jail is damp,
caused by the conductors on the court
house being so arranged as to conduct
water into the Jail. We recommend
that it have immediate attention.
We find the prisoners are well fed,
are clean as can be expected with the
facilities at hand; also that Sheriff
Wilson has performed his duty faith
fully in the care of prisoners. We
hereby express our thanks to the
county attorney and his deputy for the
able and courteous treatment we have
received from their hands. We also
thank the sheriff and his deputies for
faithful attendance in assisting us in
the business brought before US.
It is the unanimous opinion and re-
quest of the Grand Jury that T. c..
Cole, deputy county attorney, be allowed
the. sum of $50 for his faithful and
efficient services as attorney during our
session, and we recommend that he be
paid the above amount.

OKLAHOMA.

The new country is opened, and we
might say settled. At high noon, on
the 22d, the rush for lands began.
The first train on the Santa Fe reached
Guthrie little before one on the I'D
and when rush was made to secure
town lots and the boomers found that
almost every lot in the half section
reserved for town lots was taken the
air was mighty blue in those diggln 8.
1t appears that sufficient number OF
favored ones had got into the town
ahead of all competitors by being ap-
pointed as deputy marshals, r. b.
employees, etc. These men were large
" republican schemers and leaders
from all over the United States, who
obtained their privileges through lin
fuence'' with high-muck-a-mucks In
control of the opening.
OF course it is to be hoped that there
will be little bloodshed and that the
new land will be settled by peaceable
citizens: but the odds are all against
such result; especially when the least
deserving home-seekerstP) are given a
chance to gobble all the choice bits In
advance of the common herd.
One result of the opening OF the
Oklahoma country will be that it will
hasten the opening Of the Cherokee
strip, and that, containing some 5000,
600 acres, will give homes to many
deserving ones.
Kansas, and the entire southwest,
will be benefited rather than injured
by the opening of that country. Care
full business men who are seeking
investments in the western country
will be slow to risk their money in a
land where all the rec0urces are yet
undevoloped. and where a constant
fight will be kept up among the people;
and returning from the wilderness will
pass through Kansas, the tried and
true, and see her at her best; and thus
seeing her, can but be impressed with
the safeness of investments within her
borders.

The Water-Works

The memorial, signed by most of our
citizens who are consumers of water
for lawn purposes, sent to the man
ayers of the Water Supply Co., elected
a reply from the company that they
could not reduce the rates to what they
were last year. This has resulted in a
great majority of the consumers refus-
ing to pay the advanced price, and the
first of this week the water was shut
off of most of the lawns.
The city council has ordered the fire
committee to call for a test of the works
as provided for by ordinance, and if
the test does not come up to the proper
thing the hydrant rental will cease. It
will now be a question of which can
hold out the longest-the Water Co. or
the citizens.
Following is the memorial presented
to the representative of the Water
Supply Company, and which that COM
pany saw fit to ignore:
MEMORIAL.
We, the undersigned, respectfully
represent to the owners of the water
works at Great Bend, Kan, that We
will not pay higher rates than we paid
last year. If rates are increased we will
discontinue the use of water.
