After certain time nature completed the
work of solidification by means Of her cement,
tirely removed by the action of the waves,
thus giving the singular appearance Of these
cylindrical spaces.
That this theory is correct seems more
probable from the fact that, in some sections,
evidently formed by the action of nature, the
same holes are observed above the water line
as are seen beneath the surface. The coast of
the State has had several upheavals and sub
sidences and some scientists have demonstra-
ted as many as five.

Gold and Silver.

In an interesting article on "Silver
and the need of more money" Gin the
Forum this month, Senator Stewart
truthfully says that There is not, and
never has been. enough of gold or sill
yer for use as money; nor has there
ever been too much of both combined.
At present the two combined are not
enough to supply the needs of business.
If there were enough of gold, there
would be no use for silver. The most
serious objection to metallic money is
the want of a sufficient supply. When
the mines of Australia and California
poured out their gold in greatest
quantities, commerce revived and pros
perity ubecame general. Whenever in
the history of the world gold and silver
mines have been the most productive,
civilization has made the greatest
progress, and commerce has been most
active.
1.-THE decentralization of silver in
1873 reduced the supply of metallic
money one-half, and to that extent
violated existing contracts and re-
duced values. 1t was the crime of the
nineteenth century. 1t compelled the
payment of s1OO, 900 ,OOO, 600 in gold
alone that had been contracted for in
gold or silver. The debtor was forced
to sell his product at a discount of 30

Chancellor Snow on the Worm.

Chancellor Snow on the Worm.
In reply to letter from Mr.. J. V.
Brinkman of the Walnut Creek Milling
Co., of this city, Chancellor Snow of the
State University at Lawrence writes
as follows:
Chancellor's Office, University of Kas.,
Lawrence June Is, 1891.
Walnut Greek Milling Co.,
Great Bend, Kansas,
DEAR SIRs:-Yours of the roth in
slant was duly received, enclosing sam
pies of worm found inside wheat stalks.
The worm is the wheat-straw worm,
Qnosoma tritici. This is a wheat pest
almost as injurious as the Hessian fly
although have not known it to occur
in Kansas in any destructive numbers
since 1885. Of course, nothing can be
done to prevent injuries to the present
crop. The preventive measures with
reference to the next crop appear to be
burning, or destruction of the stubble
which will destroy the insect in the
straw. Also the burning of surplus
straw in the spring. And secondly, an
occasional rotation of crops. Wheat
placed upon ground not in wheat the
preceding year will not be affected by
this pest. Yours sincerely
F. H. Snow.

Turn on the Electricity.

And it came to pass that in the one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
first year after the birth of our Lord,
and on the fifteenth day of the sixth
month thereof, in the evening of said
day, the wise men Of the city, even the
dads of Great Bend, which is in the
land of wheat and worms, the county
of Barton, gathered together and held
council. And behold there were other
wise men of the city that did meet with
them, and did encourage them by word
and by deed; and did say unto them
ave pray thee give us light" Aud
the wise officials got their heads
together and made many figures, and
the outcome of the whole business il
that the council said: Let there be light;
and there will be light.
The city attorney and ordinance
committee were instructed to pre-.
pare an ordinance granting Mr.
Kapp, of Sterling, a franchise and
agreeing to take eight arc lights
for street lighting purposes at al
annual rental of NOT to exceed $500 fol
the eight lights. We believe the
action of the council will be endorsed
by the citizens generally. The plant
will probably be put in within the mex,
month.

sbould Admit the Truth.

The sooner the republican journals
of the country admit the truth and &C.
knowledge that the party will be de-
feated in 1892 unless the alliance
tide is turned; tho better it Will be for
the party. II the presidential election
were to be held tomorrow it would re-
suit in q democratic victory; and there
is no denying it.-Larned Chronoscope.
And 20, on every hand, the republic
can papers are admitting that "unless
the tide is turned" the jig is up. And
what are they going to do about it?
This Is what they will do about it:
They viii turn loose their walls of
wrath and abuse upon the liberal and
intelligent men who have left their cor
rupt party because Of its corruptness;
they will heap uLvn the Independent
voter who has begun to Investigate the
ingredients that compose political
parties instead Of swallowing the dose
according 20 the directions on the label;
they will call this independent Ameri-
can voter all the vile names they can
conjure up, and try to make him be-
lieve he is but a dull lump of mud not
capable of thinking or acting for him
self.
And why will they do this? Because
they have no other weapon with which
to attack these men, because their party.
by it's long years of power gained and
maintained through the influence and
support of the monied powers of the
land, has not an atom of strength
which can be applied through fail
and dispassiOnate discussion before the
people; because their party dares not
throw off the yoke of protected monop-
olists and money gamblers Of the east
and because the long used and much
disgraced sword of sectional hatred has
become broken and useless, and can nc
more be used to rally the blind follow.
ers of the blind to the standard of re-
publlcanism.
''If the presidential election were te
be held today it would result in dem.
ocratic victory" And so it would; and
80 it will in 1892. And the reason fol
it is, that the honest people of the land
will no longer suffer themselves to &c
hum-bugged by false promises; will nc
longer submit to be voted like flock
of sheep who follow the bell-wethel
wherever he may lead. A democratic
victory will result because the teach
ings of democracy are receiving atten
ton from all Industrial classes, and
are being understood as honestly rep
resenting what the name democracy
means-a government by the people
for the people.

to SO per cent. in order to buy gold to

To The Public.

Believing that the people will ap-
preciate our efforts in improving and
identifying the cemetery, if they will
only take the time to visit the grounds
and see what is being done i'll that
direction. All that the association
ask of lot owners is the small sum of
one dollar to keep the lots in good
condition for one year. So far but a
small number of the lot owners have
responded to our assessment. A visit
at this time to the cemetery will con-
vince any one that our plan is the
cheapest, and the only way the people
can ever expect to have cemetery
they can justly have pride in is to
contribute the small sum Of one dollar
each year, and have the satisfaction Of
knowing their lots will be cared for
during the year. 1t will be impossi
BILE for the. association to care for lot;
where the owners are abundantly able
to pay the amount and do not. There
is at the present time large number
of such lots overgrown with weeds,
and graves sunken, that need immedi.
ate attention and we hope that lot
owners who have not already done sc
will come forward and assist us in this
undertaking. Respectfully.

LATEST dispatches from Columbus,
where the Ohio republicans met in

that Bill Mckinley, the tin-god of the
republican party of that state, will be
nominated for governor. The party
thinks that if, by combining every ele-
ment of its strength they can elect Nc
Kinley governor of Ohio, it will assure
Ohio for the republican ticket in 1892.
Ohio democrats will be we'll pleased at
the nomination of Mckinley, for they
are confident they can knock him clear
out of the ring in November and thus
place damper on the protection forces
