ne New Water Works.

The New Water Works.
The people of Topeka, by the middle
of next month. will be receiving a pure
supply OF water from the new water
supply station three miles west OF the
city.
The construction of the large new
building has been completed. The
first boiler has been put in position in
the new building. It is y inches by
16 feet and was built in Topeka, and in
fact everything that could be procured
at home for the furnishing of the new
works has been bought from Topeka
merchants and manufacturers The
building is built of Cottonwood Falls
stone, finished with rough facing SINH
lar to the Rock Island depot.
A Knowles pump with a capacity ST
100000 gallons in twenty-four hours
is already up and connected with the
city mains, and as soon as the boilers
are in shape this pump will be started
TO supply the city. One of the pumps
at the present station will be held as a
reserve while the 100000 gallon pump
is being moved.
The drive wells from which the sup
ply is derived are an entirely new de-
partment of the Topeka water works.
The water heretofore has always been
supplied from large wells on an island
in the river that were supplied from
the water that percolates through the
sand. At the new station the pumps
are to be connected with the drive
wells, twenty-three in number, by &
twenty four-inch suction pipe. That is,
the pipe is twenty-four inches where it
joins the pump, but when it reaches the
sand-bar, where the drive wells are To-
Gated it sends out numerous branches
and arms to the various wells and grad
ually diminishes in size and ends in a
single well. The twenty-three wells
are scattered over an area of 200 by $50
feet. The tubes are driven down thirty
two feet to solid rock. The lower twelve
feet only are perforated, and as the
connections with the main are made
just below water level, all the water
that goes through the pumps comes
from a gravel bed eighteen feet below
the water line, and it will be clear, soft
and cold.
The new source of water will lie an
improvement on the old in more ways
than one, for in addition to coming
from such depth and being so perfect
ly enclosed, an advantage is secured in
the fact that the water supply is taken
from the river at a point entirely above
the city and the insane asylum, and
the supply will be as pure as spring
water.

STOCK AND FARM.

Cove City Echo: Antelope in this
vicinity are eleek and fat.
Frankfort Sentinel: Corn husking is
progressing at a very rapid rate, and
We expect the bulk of the corn crop will
be harvested before December 1.
Cove City Echo: The buffalo grass
is curing finely and the winter pastur-
ter, and with the great amount of feed
there should be no poor stock next
spring.
From Edwardsville: Mr.. Taylor, OF
Edwardsville, raised 240 acres of Iris
potatoes, yielding 10000 bushels. rs
soon as they were ding, in July, the lanc
WIS planted in corn, which yielded
twenty-five bushels to the acre.
Stockton Record: E. E. Allen, the
great onion raiser of Rocks county, ia
vored us with five mammoth specimens
OF the aromatic vegetable, which
weighed five pounds and four ounces.
Ed had a splendid crop this year-in
fact he never fails on onions.
Hazleton Express: Charles George
threshed 1,083 bushels off of foTty-three
acres - something over twenty five
bushels per acre. He has new kind of
wheat called "Evert's high grade"
which is the incest wheat we have seen
this season; it weighs sixty three pounds
to the measured bushel.
Washington Post: Geo. E. Reynolds,
of Franklin township, had 100 acres in
wheat this year and we have frequent
~ heard it spoken of as one of the fin
est fields in the county and we request
ed Mr.. Reynolds to let us know how it
yielded when it was threshed, and we
got the report at 2,711 Bushels.
Oskaloosa Independent: James Ty-
Ter, north of town, off of two acres
gathered 100 bushels of excellent corn,
the planting of his ten-acre piece, ali OF
which has not been gathered yet, hay
ing been done by his two daughters
Misses Jennie and Maud, with 'bill-
dippers." The ground was broken, har-
roWed and marked of before planting,
and when the corn was high enough
plowed with double shovel plow and
afterward hoed twice despite the rains
and wet weather. Ninety-five bushels
to the acre isn't so bad.
Wellington Mail: NJ D. Covell sus-
tanned a severe loss in the death of his
famous PeEcheron stallion, Eucentaur.
The animal died of spasmodic collie and
was sick but short time. He cost Mr..
COVell $4,000 two years ago and was
purchased at the Durham stock farm al
Wayne, Illinois. Mr.. COvell is singu-
larly unfortunate with his fine horses,
Bucentaur being the second one he htA
lost within two years. He is not dis
couraged, however, and will supply his
stables with another animal equally as
good.

Negro Hog Thieves.

LEAvESwoRTHi, KAN. November &c. w.
Morrow. farmer, living four miles south of
this city, was in the city, and when he got
home. at o'clock, he found four negroes in
his pIg pen killing pig He started toward
them and they ran to a wagon they had near
ami started OF rapidly. Mr.. Morrow fol-
lowed them on horseback. They turned in
various directions, evidently trying to tire
him out They called to him a number of
times to go back or they would shoot him,
but he still followed them. He says he must
have followed them seven or eight miles. at
length they grew desperate and did shoot.
Mr.. Morrow was hit in four places about the
head with No. 4 shot.
The physician in attendance gives it as his
opinion that two of the men must have fired
at the same time, as but one discharge was
heard and the location of the wounds is such
they could not have all been made with one
load. When shot, Mr.. Morrow was forced to
cease following them, and came to town
to have his wounds dressed. They are
severe and perhaps fatal. The men escaped
and are not known.

his name was Bradley, and signed the
instrument, the name OF the grantee be-
ing left out BE then brought the deed
to Lawrence and represented himself to
be the agent OF Bradley for the sale OF
the land. He finally made trade with
E b. Hunter. the consideration of
which was 800 acres of land in Texas,
81 in money, and an old watch. The
deed was then taken TO l. s. Steele and
the name OF E. B. Hunter inserted as

Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, I 500,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. =" am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. 1 felt tip-top and
,have felt that way ever since. Z"
