Concerning Irrigation.

The following letter from Judge
Emery of Lawrence is of interest to
our readers who have given thought to
the irrigation question.
LAWRENCE KANSAS, July IL, 1898
L. BALDWIN, ESQ,
DEAR STR:-I duly received your
letter asking me to address meeting
to be held August 7th, at your city, on
the great subject of irrigation;" be-
cause, in my judgment, the great plains
which include western Kansas are soon
to be watered, at least partially so. by
artificial means. This region also is
soon to hold a vast, and may I say a
dense population. The boy is today
running on the streets of Great Bend
who will live to see that day.

OLD Dan Anthony of the Leaven
worth Times says: The Sherman law
was offered to prevent democrats from
passing free silver bill'' and Joe Chap
man says: Its just the way with re-
publicans, they are always ready to do
something mean TO prevent the demo-
Gratis from doing something good" ="
The republicans have no strings on the
democrats now, however and If they
don't repeal the Sherman law and
pass something better, their name will
be liable to be pantalcons.

WHILE the money lenders or cred

that should be respected, they must

of our country be allowed, that would

Farmers who work with their hands
are making hay while the sun shines;
those who toll with their jaws are not
able to recognize hay when they see it.
The citizens cannot be too careful in
guarding against the depredations of
burglars. Their raids are getting to be
alarmingly frequent in our neighboring
towns. A good dose of buckshot put
into some of them might have ten

Quite number Of our curiosity seek

evening to learn the cause of our ''fi-

that hard times in all parts of the

cts.
1t is a common rule that the more a
newspaper does for political party, OF
individuals, the more is expected of
them, but return of business favors is
furthest from the minds of those who
received benefits. Political and personal
ingratitude, whether from intent tional
slight or simple oversight, is the usual
pay for the newspaper man.
People who have good investments
should hold onto them. Those who
have surplus funds should invest them,
instead of locking them up. This is
the way to make money, and is a per-
fectly safe way. We are living in a
great country. The foundations are
broad and strong, and those who sus-
pect that it is going to destruction de-
serve to be numbered among the igno-
rant.

pronounced by Rev DR.. J. L. Carroll, the

prevailed elsewhere tbOughout the resi-,

At half past three the groom with his
best man, Mr.. VIM. B. MerrimOn, entered
the marriage room from the hall door
At the same moment the bride, accom-
panied by the maid of honor, Miss Jessie
Carroll, entered from the rear parlor,
meeting the groom in front of large

sweet flowers and blessing and good
wishes Of friends the two were united for
! life. After the ceremony and many min
utes spent in receiving congratulations,
MIR and Mrs. Whitaker left on an after
noon train for tour of northern cities
and places of interest.
The bride enjoys an extensive and en-
viable acquaintance and is the recipient
of that genuine admiration which the
world takes pleasure in yielding TO true
womanly charms and noble qualities.

AS Mrs. Yancey, mother of the young
