WESTERN KANSAS,

TOPEKA, July 7-Representatiye Hale
of Rush county is in Topeka attending the
July term of the supreme court. He says
that.the condition of the people in western
Kansas is deplOrable indeed, and that some
measure of relief must be devised.
Our people never give up until they
have TO-" said Mr. Hale. land the fact that
they admit that they are Ill poor circum-
stances at all is sufficient proof that they
are badly OF. Last year the people of our
county sold their grain and reduced their
Indebtedness considerably, and then they
staked every thing they had left on a crop
Of wheat
''There was sown in Rush county 120, 900
acres, and every foot of that land IS as
smooth as a paved street. There is some
corn few inches high. but it cannot posi-
bly, amount to anything unless the season
from now on should be unusually favOra-
ble, which it is not likely to be. .Yester-
day on riding into Great Bend the wind
blew 50 hot that we had to close the win
dows on the south side of the cars--it was
absolutely lnsuIferable.
people are leaving that part of the
state rapidly" continued Mr.. Hale. The
other day | saw a man from Lane county,
who said that when he left his township il
was without human being. The same
condition extends from about Great Bend
west-six tiers of counties, or more than
one-third Of the state"
Mr.. Hale says that the people are going
to ask for aid-they must have it, or else
there will be suffering next winter. They
are deserving" he said, land will pay
back Whatever the state may give them.
They believe that special session OF the
legislature should be called to make an
appropriation. for that would be loan,
and they do not want TO receive assistance
which they cannot repay.
Some of the people would be willing to
give back two bushels Of grain for every
Que received, and | think that all would
feel like making the loan cover the eX-
pense5 of an extra session, so that the state
would lose nothing. If eastern Kansas
understood our condition fully there
would be no objection to an extra ses-
sion"
Mr.. Hale's attention was called to Gov
ernor Lewelling's remarks at Wakeeney,
that it would be better fer the people TO
borrow directly from their counties than
to ask for ali extra session of the legisla.
ture.
THAT cannot be done" he answered
There Is no law permitting the making
OF such loans. The county can give aid TO
paupers, but it cannot loan from its treas
uTy. We must have a special session OF
the legislature or else take aid as gift,
which we object to doing. We want SIM
ply To borrow some money from the state
with which 10 plant crops and get on our
feet The people of the western counties
do not ask charity; they will repay"
Mr.. Hale says that they regard special
session OF the legislature as the only source
OF honorable assistance, and that they will
make united call for it.

the rioters set fire to the booths which
they did not split with clubs, and for

quent efforts to secure before and
which is of deep interest to scientists.
The specimen is a meteorite recently
found in Butte county.
Several years ago. says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, large meteorite was
seen to fall near Oroville, and parties
under the lead of DR.. Harkness, of the
academy OF sciences, and others made
extensive researches for the precious
celestial wanderer, but no one found it
until lately. 1t was Immediately pur-
chased by the academy, and Dr. HarlZ-
ness considers it one of the finest spec
linens of the kind extant.
The irregular mass of meteoric iron
weighs ffty-three pounds, is fourteen
inches in length, six inches thick and
ten inches high, and in shape some
what resembles a small ham. What
makes the specimen of more than ordi-
nary interest and value is the remark
ably clear development OF the Wild
mannstattian figures by the applica-
ton of acid. These figures, first dis
covered by Widmannstatt in l60s, are
sections of planes of cleavage or of erys-
talline structure along which segrega-
tion or chemical change Of some sort
has taken place and whose form and
position with reference to each other
are in accordance with the laws gov
erning the development of crystalline
substances belonging to the isometric
system.
But few meteorites have been found
in this state, the San Bernardino me-
teorite found in 1850 being the largest
and weighing one hundred and twenty
pounds. II Is the property OF the state
mining bureau and is now on exhlbi-
ton at the worlds fair. The III Do
RADIO meteorite. found in 1870. weighed
eighty-five pounds and was the first
discovered in the state. The origin OF
these fragments, which contain mete-
oric iron, nickel, cobalt, silica. sulphur
and other substances found on the
earth. is disputed, but the generally
accepted theory is that they are pieces
