DAN THE DRAWS.

From western exchange we recent
ly caught an idea that seems to be q
good one, and we should like to see the
theory advanced put into practic. It is
this: All authority tells us that the
accumulation of water in any territory
acts as moisture creating agent; that
wherever there is a considerable
amount of water, in that territory or
vicinity there will be more rain. The
U. S. congress recognize this fact. and
steps are being taken to have survey
made in the arid districts with view
to creating lakes for the sole purpose OF
attracting rainfall.
While Barton county is far removed
from what is known as the arid dis
tricts, we still find the need of great
er amount of rainfall than we usually
get, and anything that would induce or
create more rainfall would be benefit
to this part of Kansas.
There are few farmers in the county
on which there are not draws, or valleys,
where small dam could be thrown up
at a very small expense, to catch and
retain the rainfall; and we believe that
if every farmer had on his place one or
more of such pools of water as could
thus be created at trifing expense
the most of the expenses being labor
which could be done out of the busy
farm season-an increase of rainfall
would be natural result. The great
or amount of territory adopting such
plan, the greater would be the benefits
thereof, and we hope our exchanges
will take the matter up and assist in
procuring trial of the scheme.
1t small ponds Were created quick
growing trees could be planted around
their margins, and the larger the trees
grew and the more shade and protec-
ton from wind they furnished, the
longer would the water be retained in
the pools; until within a few years the
entire country would be dotted with
little lakes surrounded by groves of
trees. Can you not see many advan-
tages that would result therefrom?
And do you not think the plan is worth
trying?
An objection may be raised, that the
ponds would be more or less alkalied
and dangerous to stock. If such should
be the case wire Fence, at small
cost, could be placed around the pools
to keep stock away and also to protect
the young trees from being broken
down or broused off; and by the time
the trees were large enough not to be
injured by the stock the alkali would
have been worked out of the ground,
the water would be pure, and shade
furnished that would be a welcome
oasis to sweltering brutes during the
hot summer months.
If the plan is thought to be good
one we would like to see it adopted. If
it is at fault we would like to know
where. Let us hear from some of our
intelligent farmers ON the subject.

People sometimes question the pur-
pose and wisdom of creating flies,
mosquitoes, gnats, ETC., but that which
puzzles us more is the purpose of the
creation of some people. Those people
who enter private homes in a friendly
way and take note of all domestic
affairs only to increase their stock of
gossip, people who see no good in any
thing, and whose only enjoyment is
spreading news and criticlsing other
peoples actions. Such characters do
not hesitate to falsify, if in that way
they can make their gossip more start
ling. They are meaner than thieves
for against the latter we can set bolts
and bars, but the only safeguard
against gossip, is good heavy boot,
| properly applied.

CONSIDERABLE interest is mani
tested in the proposed law to create a
county assessor and change the present
mode of assessing in Kansas. We
have obtained the opinions of many
farmers in this county, and none of
them can see any benefits to be gained
from the proposed law. About the
only men whe are favoring the scheme
are men who see chance for moro
political manipulation by rings and
Slatemakers. Such a law was once
tried in Iowa, but repealed after a
trial of two or three years, and we pre-
dict such would be the fate of the law
should it pass 0wr present legislature.

Now it is about to utilize them; ana a

amount secured for the enterprise is $15,-

The citizens have also agreed to donate
two or three acres near the depot to any
capitalist or manufacturer who will
pledge himself to erect a manufactory
for fine woods, furniture, or whatever
may be advisable. The display of fine
lumber always around the depot await
ing shipment, proves the eligibility of the
locality for such purpose.

Through the Abdomen.

Through the Abdomen.
William Dryman, white boy, aged
about nine years, and living near the
reservoir at the foot of Bcaucatcher
mountain, this city, yesterday afternoon
met with an accident that will cost him
his life.
BY some means, unknown to anyone
save himself, the boy had secured posses
sion of a 3S-calibrc revolver of the "bull
dog" pattern. and was fooling with the
same when it was accidentally dis
charged, the ball entering the abdomen
on the right side just below the navel,
and lodging i'll the small part of the back
on the left side.
Drs. w. d. Hilliard and ]. {. b. Justice
were called i'll at once, and DR.. II. ex-
tracted the ball. Other steps were taken
to preserve the boys life, but the physi.
clans said last night that they had nc
idea that he could possibly survive the
effects of the wound. Young Drymar
confessed to his mother, i'll the presence
of several witnesses yesterday afternoon
that he shot himself but that he didn't
go to do it"
The affair took place between two ant
three o'clock, and the rcvolvcrw was founC

MUSIC IN THE AIR.
Meeting Ofthe PennSylVaI'laS state
Republican Convention.

HARRISRuRG, Pa, August 7.-Thcrc
was music in the air this morning, and
the sun shonc rcsplcndcntly as the dele
gates to the Republican State Conven-
ton awoke from their peaceful slumbcrs
and began to stir about the hotels.
After listening to the inspiring strains of
the band for half an hour, the delegates
and spectators started for the opera
house, where so many conventions have
been held. The interior was deliberately
decorated with flags and bunting, and
the spectacular effect was decidedly
pleasing. 1t was a delightfully."- cool
morning, and a refreshing breeze made
things comfortable for the convention.
When chairman Andrews called the con-
vcntiOn to order at 1875, most of the
delegates were in their seats. The SCCrC-
tary first read the call for the convcn-
tion, and then the roll of delegates.
There were few abscntcCs, and not more
than half dozen substitutionS. On
motion of Penman, of Lackawanna Co.,
the following were unanimously elected
temporary officers of the convention
Chairman, Walter Lyon, Allcghanv
secretary, Frank Wiley Leach, PhiIa-
dclphia; assistant secretaries, Henry
HUM, ]. 0. Edelbut, John w. Morrison
scrgcant-at-arms, Vim. Blair, of Pitts
