Farmers, purchasinc comrnitties.

Since I have taken up my residence
in Springfield have had occasion to
learn more of the workings of the
Farmers alliance, or Agricultural
Wheel, as it is called in some places.
The organization is not, as is gener-
ally supposed. purely political Itun-
dertaies to benefit its members, both
in the matter of disposing of their pro-
ducts and in securing the necessities of
life at the cheapest rate. 1t does not
establish cooperative stores, as was
the plan of the Grangers but, through
what is known as the purchasing COM
mittee, dealers in various lines of goods
are selected as reliable and trust
worthy, and declared purveyors to the
alliance. For instance, a dealer in
groceries, hardware, drygoods, boots,
shoes, hats and clothing and agricul-
tural implements, respectively, has
been selected in Springfield, and they
are guaranteed the individual patron
age of all members of the alliance

Time to Quiet Title.

FIT. DODGE, Ia, April 9.-President
Burton of the Settlers Union has re-
nounced all responsibility of that or
ganization for the present acts of vio-
lence. This conservative policy does
not find favor with the radical ele-
ment of the organization, and a secret
meeting of the radicals was held on
Samuel Hefner's farm Sunday morn

ton. 1t is understood that the pres
ent aggressive policy will be contin-

tuition of suits to quiet title in the dis

could not help exclaiming:
Oh, for the days of Henry Clay's
And Bryan's mighty gavel,
When Mackey strong awoke the
throng
And Campbell scattered gravel;
When Mauermann Gus astonished US
With eloquence ornate,
And Schreiner Fritz gave Conner fits
For voting aut of date;
When Schaefer sly watched Bryan
eye
Glance slyly DER his way,
And Richey red got in his head
A speech or two to say;
When handsome Hans surveyed the
clans
With one eye on the chair,
And Belknap true, with brilliant hue,
Eclipsed the little may'r.

1t becomes interesting to note some
OF the great floods of history. One of
the most notable was that which, ac-
cording to the old historian Camden,
washed away Earle Godwins lands on
the coast of Kent, and left only the
Goodwin Sands. Holland has furnished
many coast flood. At bort, in LAG.
the sea broke in through the dikes,
and drowned the people of ~ villages,
in all 100000 persons. The dikes
failed in 1880 and nearly 400 900 per-
sons died. The celebrated Ripon
flood in Yorkshire was in 1771, and in
1877 over 1000 people lost their lives
by the sudden torrents from the noun.
tains of Navarro. In 1918 the over
flow Of the Danube drowned 2, 600 Tur.
kish soldiers. on a small island near
Widdin, and in Silesla the floods prac-
tically ruined the French army under
Macdonald: The Vistula overhowed
and broke its dikes in 1920 and swept
away 10, 900 cattle and 1000 houses.
Two famous floods in France were
those of 1910 and 1916 The former
was in the southeast, and UPWARD Of
1000 houses were swept away by the
Rhone. The other was in the central
and southwestern part of France and
destroyed 100000 worth of prop.
erty, including numerous costly rail
road viaducts.
By the bursting of the reservoir at
Lorco, in Spain, twenty square leagues
were devasted and over 1000 person
dro wned, April IA, 1902. The prop
erty damage was estimated at 1000,
900.
The giving way of the Bradford
Reservoir near Sheffield, England, on
March 81, 1864, let loose food which
swept fourteen miles Of valley in two
hours and caused loss of 81 800, 600,
besides drowning $50 persons. This is
the disaster which is made to figure in
Charles Reade's "Put Yourself in His
Place" The area of the Bradford
Reservoir was seventy acres and its
dam at the highest place was ninety.
FIVE feet high.
The Williamsburg, Mass, disaster
was OH May II, 1874. The dam of {
100 acre reservoir gave way, ant
81 900, 600 worth of property wal
ruined. One hundred and fifty per
sons lost their lives.
The Johnstown Reservoir accident
surpasses all similar casualties in
every respect. This reservoir had an
area of over twenty-eight hundred
acres, and its waters when freed from
confinement devastated an area Of hun.
dreds of square miles.
