Wedding Rings.

If marriage is not failure there isn't
squestion as to the Indifferent regard in
which the wedding ring is held. Even
the jeweler has semi-contemptuous way
Of presenting the tray Of plain gold bands
and the tantalizing preference for dismal
tunes which he huns or whistles softly,
but none the less significantly. as he
makes note of the initials to be in
scribed. Very young brides wear the
yellow band, but in swell circles young
married ladies have the bravado to lay
aside the emblem of undying love as soon
as the honeymoon is over.
Among older wives the ring is discard
ed altogether, and if you inquire about
it the matron will calmly tell you it's
such an questionable piece of jewelry
to be obliged to wear and as result the
young lady daughters in the family are
married with seal ring, not one of
which can be procured for the paltry 81,
the price of the yellow band Emeralds,
rubies and turquois, set in small but
brilliant diamonds, are popular as we'd
ding jewels, and not few bridegrooms
have welded their ideal with marquise
of diamonds.
A bride of a month ago was married
with a serpentine ring, composed of two
snakes exquisitely carved, each with
precious jewel in its head. To show the
low degree of enthusiasm for the time
honored symbol of conjugal love at the
last coaching club dinner party given in
the Brunswick, but three ladies out or
forty, all attended by their husbands,
wore the plain gold band. There were
clusters of diamonds, circlets Of pearls
and solitaire stones by the quart, bat
the single trio displayed the simple yell
low hoop.
Grass widows find the band, particu-
larly obnoxious, and those gay and fes-
tive wives who have few more links Of
freedom than is wholesome never give
it position outside Of the jewel casbet.
At the resorts and in social gatherings
one hears frequent outbursts from the
young and innocent society men who
protest against what they consider mis-
placement Of the only badge that dis
ting,1ishes a married woman from

NO COMPETITORS ALLOWED.
IF the Government Wants the Cherokee
Lands the Cattlemen Must Stand Back.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The commits
sioners recently appointed by the president
to negotiate with the Indians for the pur-
chase Of the Cherokee strip lands for the
government, with a view Of them being
ultimately thrown open to settlement, are
about TO begin their labors, and il is the
opinion of the interior department officials
that those offers alleged to have been made
by the cattle company are intended to en-
barrass the commission in its work. They
believe that both the cattle company and
many Of the more intelligent Indians are
perfectly aware of the permanent right Of
the United States TO these lands. and that
the Indians can neither sell nor lease them
without the consent of the government.
Secretary Noble was questioned as TO
the purpose of the government in the event
of an attempted contamination OF the
proposed lease or sale. He said he did not
care TO discuss the matter at present but
would say, however, that the government
would recognize no competitors for these
or any other lands in which il had an in
terest. If the interests OF private parties
conflict with those OF the government the
former. he says, must certainly be put to
one side

WORKING FOB IRRIGATION.

TOPEKA Kan, July 16-Secretary Mar
tin Mohler of the state board of agricul-
| ture returned this morning from north
western Kansas, whittier he went last
week with President Fairchild and Prof.
E. NJ. Shelton of the agricultural college
for the purpose of obtaining information
in regard to the question of irrigation.
They found the residents Of that region
ready to discuss the matter, and in the linn.
tied time at their disposal the secretary and
Mr.. Fairchild made considerable head
way. They will next examine the irriga-
ton bitches already in use in the south
western part Of the state.
1--WE went to northwest Kansas" said
Mr.. Mohler, ito get from the people their
own Ideas concerning irrigation-to learn
whether they consider the region suffi-
GENTLY arid to require irrigation, and if
SO to try to determn whether the sys-
tenn could be practically employed
Some time before l had received a
letter from the secretary of the congress
slonai committee appointed to investigate
this question requesting my views, and l
deemed the trip necessary to enable me to
make a reply which should carry weight.
We visited Phillipsburg and conferred
with number Of citizens. 1t was our
original intention to call public meeting,
but we found this impossible. Crops in
the vicinity of Philipsburg are looking
well. | gained the impression that irri-
CATION would not be practicable there.
AT Goodland we held meeting and
met many representative farmers.
That country, you must remem Der,
found the farmers hopeful. While they
acknowledged they had not made much
Roadway, they expressed the opinion that
a change for the better would follow the
gradual improvement of the region. They
believed in irrigation and would like to
have the government experiment with ar
tesian wells The question OF the advisa-
blllty of storing water was brought up
and it was conceded that if the people
would dam up the draws" which
abound in the region much rain
water would accumulate, which
could be used in fertiiiZng the
adjacent lands. / became convinced
that ii the government should sink several
experimental artesian wells in that region
and they proved successful. private capital
sufficient TO carry to success a complete
system of irrigation would be speedily
forthcoming. | regard artesian wells as
absolutely necessary to lrrlgate that por-
ton of the state and am free to say that l
shall recommend that the government
make the proposed experiment. There
are no streams there large enough
With a good system of irrigation
there is no reason why that entire region
should not blossom like the rose"
No definite plan of action has yet been
decided upon. The work being done at
present is bat preliminary. These gentle
men are Investigating the conditions of the
country and gathering data that must first
be obtained by personal travel and meet
ings with the people. 1t will form the found
alton for the work TO be done by the sonata
committee, which will begin its formal in

Tomorrow President Fairchild, Prof
Shelton, Regent Caraway and Secretary
Mohler will leave for Garden City to
gather data in that section for the work.
