To Render a Cellar Dry.

One OF the most effective means OF
keeping a cellar dry is 10 build an area
wall around the whole of the site, SO
that earth does not rest directly against
the walls of the house. To form such
area a 4 inch wall is built parallel to the
main walls, and about ? inches from
them. The bottom OF the incloscd space
Is formed into gutter, SO that any water
that finds its way through the outer cas-
ing may have an opportunity of running
away 10 the drains.
Rice is the staple crop Of Japanese
farmers, large and small, and consists OF
2 varieties. The most popular is similar
TO that produced in the Southern States.
The plants are started in hot beds, and
when tho seedlings are 8 or inches high,
along in May. they are transplanted into
fields which have been flooded by irriga-
ton or otherwise most of the time since
the harvesting of the previous crop in
October aud November. After the plow-
ing. which is done in the primitive style
characteristic of that region, the plants
are put in tufts OF several plants about
inches apart, and the natives wade
about in the water and mud in setting
them out The fields are hoed every
weeks. The gain is cut with sickle,
made into bundles, and left to dry in the
fields. When dried, the rice is threshed
by fails, separated from the chatf, and
the hulls removed by pounding ina NOR.

There is an interesting story con-
nected with the discovery of the Kiowa
county meteorites. The man who
owned the eighty acre farm on which
they were found had the place mort
gagged for $500. The mortgage was
about to be foreclosed, and the man
was in desperate straits on that account.
He accidentally plowed up pieces of a
peculiar stone which proved to be me-
teorites. He sold the specimens for
$500 and was thus enabled to pay the
mortgage.

who was in the city today, said: mir.

five hours and judging from the wear

they left the hall it was not a particu-

1t was reported that there was a
large sized difference among the mem
bers on certain questions of policy and
that political matters came in for q
share Of the discussion. It was also
reported that the action of the county
presidents at Topeka coDdemniDg In
gals was the subject Of resolution
not endorsing the action. Altogether

A Great Shoe Sale.

The advertisement of l.. IL. Faulk-
ner s. Co.'S great shoe sale will attract
much attention. Their stock is one OF
the handsOmest in the state and con-
tains an assortment of boots, shoes,
slippers ETC., that it will be almost i'm
possible to duplicate. They mean to
reduce it quickly aud to that end are
giving prices that are marvellous. No
one wanting a nice summer shoe can
afford to purchase without examining
Faulkner's stock. Their line Of ladies'
and misses walking shoes and slippers
is especially attractive.

The city schools closed at O'Clock,
and all of the professors, teachers and
many of the pupils attended the con-
VeutiOn.
The NJ. E. church, of Abilene had
the largest representation of any school
in the county.
There were more ministers present
than ever before.
During the last two hours of the
convention the president could sympa-
Chize very sincerely with Speaker Reed.
Rev. DR.. Gum, of Junction City,
