There doesn't seem to be any far
ther doubt that we have a first class
gas well. The water has been success
fully shut off and the well now seems
to be perfectly dry. Mr.. Pryor, the
driller, says it is the strongest flow of
gas lie has yet seen in Kansas and
thinks that the Company has a
bonanza i'm the possession Of it. In
| this connection we desire to say that
Mr.. Pryor has shown himself an ex.
pert in his line. He has performed
his contract to the letter and has
shown himself able to do everything
he said he could do. The Gas COM
pany had a meeting Wednesday night
| TO decide what their next step would
be, but no conclusion was reached.
Mr.. Pryor lie Of the opinion that it will
supply 75 stoves, and we think the
general sentiment is in favor Of using
it this way. We trust that something
may be done soon to give practical
test so that We may know, now that
We at last have a dry well, whether
or not there is any money in 1t.
A short time ago We noted that Prof.
Snow, of the University, had discover
ed that the chinch bugs about Law
| renee were dying from q contagious
disease which he called "white fun.
gus" We see now that he has recent
ly sent out forty-ffve consignments of
diseased chinch bugs to farmers in eight
different States, as an experiment to
determine the practical utility of intro
duciDg the disease among healthy
bugs. The result OF the experiment
will be awaited with interest.

venientIy just at this time. The Lii.

DR.. ID. Dick says that not less than |
50 per cent of his patients are women.
Can il be that there are that many
more sickly women than mep, or are
the women more credulous, or il it be-
cause women naturally take to a broad
hat and long hair and all that sort of
thing more than men do?
