More About Ponds.


kIRvIN, KAN. Feb a, so.
ED. HERALD: [ am very glad to
see so much interest manifested in the
matter of pond building in this part
Of Kansas, as I believe the question
Of water supply for stock and general
farm use can be easily and satisfac-
torily solved IN this way. And as the
question of water supply for this
western country already has the at
tention of Congress and is being
looked into by the department Of the
interior, no better time could be chos-
en- for discussing the subject, and de-
Gliding what assistance, If any, we
want from the general government.
Some months ago I wrote the depart
ment Of the interior in regard to this
matter and suggested that substan-
tial reservoirs of suitable size and
bordered with trees might be substi-
tuted in many cases for the present
system Of timber culture. Our rep
resentative in Congress, the Hon. r.
J. Turner, has exhibited considerable
interest in the matter, and in a letter
to me last fall described a pond that
he had constructed at a cost of about
sixty-fve dollars which according to
his account was not an entire success,
yet was quite encouraging for addI-
tionaI exertions in that direction.
I and my associates in stock raising
have recently constructed a dam on
our stock farm at an expense Of near
/ Iy one hundred dollars which we are
sure will insure US a permanent sup
ply of water for our stock. My plan
is to build a substantial dirt dam
across a draw high enough so that nc
water will run over it. Secure the
ends Of the dam we'll Sc that in tim,
Of food the surplus water viii rur
around on sod and do no damage b.

SUMNER ITEMS.

Tn ere have been several sales of
late, but accounts of only two have
been received. At Mr.. McKune's
everything went high, especially the
horses. At Mr.. Magirl's while most
articles brought fair prices, cattle
went at almost fancy figures. One
bidder in commenting on the sale,
said the good corn crop had made
fools of the folks, and that III less
than year perhaps the bankers
would get the articles for half what
is paid now Let us hope his pre-
diction may not be verified.
Taylor Madison is again in town
after a years absence.
We understand MIR. Anthony has
been secured for the Spring term of
school in district 80. It's to his credit
that several Of his present scholars
think of accompanying him to the
other neighborhood In 81 he has
given excellent satisfaction, and we
hope he may return in the fall
Mrs. Cases brother has returned to
Denver.
Mrs. Roberts friends are rejoiced
that her last little one is a boy.
Mr.. Howard preached his farewell
sermon to a crowded house last Sun
day.
The HERALD's platform receives
hearty endorsement on all sides, and
will rally a large number Of support
ers from all laboring classes, especial
/ Iy farmers, with whose interests it is
so closely allied. The HERALD is ever
interested in the farmers welfare,
and he will do well to heed ats adj
vice concerning non-partisan ALI
anees. May its patrons increase in
/ number, as its circle Of influence

DeveIopine Genius.

Genius unexerted is 10 more genius
than busheI of acorns in a forest of
oaks. There may be epics in mems
brains, just as there are oaks in acorns
but the tree and the book must come
out before we can measure them. We
very naturally recall here that class
of grumblers and wishers who spend
their time IN longing to be higher
than they are, while they should be
employed in advancing themselves.

EVIL Of Tntemperance

gE the -Philiipsburg HERALD
Rev. c. H Spurgeon says, Idle /
aen tempt the devil to tempt them.
He who plays when he should work,
has an evil spirit to be his playmate.
He who neither works nor plays is a
workshop for Satan. IF the devil
catch a man idle he will at HIM to
work, find him tools, and before long
pay him wages.
Is not this where the drunkenness
comes from that fills our towns and
villages with misery? Idleness is the
key Of beggary, and like the love of
luere, one Of the man roots of all
evil. Fellows have two stomachs for
eating and drinking, when they have
no stomach for work. Their mouth
swollows up in idle hours that money
which should put cothes on their
childrens backs and bread on the cot
tage table. We have Gods word for
it that the drunkard and the glutton
shall come to poverty, and to show
the connection between them, it IS
said in the same verse, drowsiness
clothes a man with rags. I know that
drunken loose habits grow out of lazy
hours.
I cannot make out why so many
workingmen spend their evenings at
the public-house when their own fire
side would be so much better, and
cheaper too. There they sit hour af-
ter, boozing and talking nonsense,
while the loved ones at home are
watching, waiting and longing for
their return. A scanty meal is spread
in rediness, while the half famished
wives and children wait patiently for
[ their return. Their money goes into
the saloon-tiIl, when it ought to make
their wives and children comfortable
AS for the beer they get, it is so much
fools milk to drown their wits in
Such fellows ought to be horse whip
ped, and those who encourage then
and live on their spendings, deserv,
to feel the butt-end of the whip"
We think the Phillips Co. citizen
do right to thrash them on the spot
''These beer-shops are the curse o
the country. I wish the man VIII
made the law to open them had t
support all the families they hav
brought to ruin. Beer-shOps are tn
enemies of the home, and the soone
their licenses are taken away, the bet
ter" Look at the numbers Of officer
and the notariety of cities who spen
their evenings and leisure hours &
> beer-shops and billiard parlOrs. Th
rich men do not need such places
and neither do the poor. Have the
= not all loved ones at home who's
9 highest ambition Is to make home th
] most desirable place on earth, an
then for them to attend such place
exhibits their appreciation for the e
, forts exerted by those faithful ones.
T. Such is a beer-shOP, and such
/ the effect. Anything that hurts th
home is a curse and ought to be bar
= ished. G. G. r.

Kansas Laws for Women.

In Kentucky a strong effort is be- /
ing made to amend the medieval /
laws Of that state regarding married /
wOmen's property. Mrs. Josephine /
K. Henry of Kentucky, lately wrote
to Chief Justice Horton of Kansas,
to ask whether there was any dissat-
isfaction with the more liberal laws
Of Kansas, or any effort to repeal
them. Chief Justice Horton replied.
Mrs Josephine K. Henry Yer
sajJLe8, Ky.: DEAR EIADAm:-The
laws of Kansas in regard to women
are summarized in the case Of the
State VS. Walker, So Kan. 311, as fol-
lows:
''The constitution and statutes Of
Kansas are very liberal in recogniz-
ing the rights and privileges of women.
Marriage involves neither the assump-
ton Of Indebtedness nor the acquisi-
ton of property. A married woman
may contract and be contracted with
concerning her separate real and per
sonal property, sell, convey and en-
cumber the same, sue aud be sued
with reference thereto in the same
manner, and to the same extent, and
with like effect, and as freely as any
other person may in regard to his or
her real or personal property. She
may purchase personal property from
her husband, perform labor and ser
! vices on her sole and seperate ac-
count, and make the earnings there
from her sole and seperate property
she has the same control Of her per
son and property as her husband; she
! has the same rights as to the nurture,
education and control of her children,
and the same rights in the possession
of the homestead She may partici-
pate in all city elections, attend eau
cuses, nominate candidates, and vote
/ for such persons and principles as
her Judgment dictates. In fact, in
Kansas, women are in nearly all mat
ters accorded civil and political
equality with men. She is not his
servant nor his slave. Here the sexes
may harmonic in opinion and coop
crate in efforts. Here woman is NJ
longer subordinate to man, but tn,
two are coordinate together. Her,
the burden of a common prejudice
and a common ignorance agains
woman has been wholly removed
Here the tyranny which degrades anC
brushes the wives and mothers il
other countries, no longer exists
Here. the coveted rewards of life, for
ever forbidden them in some Of tn
states, are within their reach. Here
a fair field for their genius and in
dustry is open, and womanhood, wit
{ the appreciation of all, may assert it
divinely chartered rights, and fulfil
? its noblest duties.
These liberal provisions of our COL
stitutlon and laws have been found t
work to the advantage of all the pee
pie of the state. What is benefcia
/ to any part Of the people, unless OF
1 presslve. and injurious to others, mus
be financial to all. No attempt ha
been made to repeal any of these liz
t erl laws. and none IS likely to b
made Indeed, the tendency is fc
= more liberal laws as to women, tina
for limitations. Yours respectfully
ALBERT III. HORTON,
Chief Justice of Kansas.

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

The plumbers strike has beer settled
to the satisfaction of the journeymen,
the pressmen's strike is thing of the
past, and now the union printer wants
a reduction of hours in some cases aud
higher wages in others. The printers
are supposed to be prosperous class of
people. standing only second in wealth
to the journeyman plumber. The pub
lie has become accustomed to the notion
th at the printer had fenced in his share
of the earth and didn't want any more.
He does. He doesn't propose to work
any longer hours than the plumber,
and is so accustomed to good wages
that he couldn't think of living on any
less than he is now paid. He belongs
to a union which has branches all over
the eOun try, and is rich enough to buy
out railroad or coal NINE if it wished.
This is the time of year when the print
likes to bask in the sun. He wouldn't
mind if no papers were published for a
few days. That would vary the mOnOt-
ony, and he could go to work under the
new scale with a light heart. Ii there
is strike of the printers it will interest
everybody, but the printer will prob
ably get more solid enjoy ment out of it
than anybody else.
There is quite a demand for union
carpenters. and the union men don't
seem to know it. Every day employers
call at the Labor Temple to find out
where union men may be obtained. The
man who could never see the use of a
union now hunts the secretary of that
body and wants to pay his initiation fee
so he can get steady employment.
What will become of the Single tax
movement in Minneapolis? 1t has al
WAYS been small in numbers. but emil
nently respectable and conservative.
