The Members Paid

The Populist house has passed an
appropriation bill paying its members
At 4 O'Clock in the morning the Capital
the present state paper, appeared with
the appropriation bill. Immediately
the members commenced to draw their
pay, Representative Wagner being
the second man to DO so. About 10
O'Clock Sheriff Wilkinson of Shawnee
county, served a writ of injunction
upon the treasurer, but by this time
al the members excepting two had
been paid. After hearing the case
Judge Hazen, republican, made the
injunction perpetual, but his decision
is not final, as the case was at once APP
pealed to the supreme court.

The Kansas National Guard seems to
be the Kansas No Good rs far as discl-
plne is concerned, for the officers and
members seem to have the power to de-
eide whether they will obey the orders
of their commanderin-chief or not. AS
most of the members are republicans
they refused or neglected to obey the
orders of Governor Le@elling. If this
body can obey or not as the members
see fit it is about time for it to dissolve.
The National Guard should be disci.
plined body and not a partisan one.

The County Printing.

If the HERALD readers will bear with
1t, space will be taken this week in the
discussion of the county printing mat
ter. Not that this paper cares for
what its enyious neighbor says, but in
order TO show that the people are not
being robbed by the Commissioners as
the Dispatch would have them believe.
The HERALD has looked over the rec
ords for the past five years, and finds
that the people paid sixty cents per
square for publishing proceedings, etc.,
the reports being printed in three pa
pers, for every year except 1892, that
year the work was let to the Dispatch
at ten cents per square. Every news
paper man knows that the work cam
not be done at that price, as the tax
lists are included in the contract. Dur.
ing the life of this contract every bill
put in by the Dispatch contained over
charges, in some cases as high as full
price. This year the contract was
given to the HERALD, with the express
condition that all work paid for by the
county was to be printed at twenty per
cent of legal rates, and the tax list at
a corresponding reduction.
Now as to the job work, the Dispatch
man gives a list in last weeks paper
that is very erroneous. The eXamna-
ton of the records and vouc hers shows
the following:

OLD

If blanks are ordered in 100 lots the
county gets better figure under the
new contract than under the old. If
these same blanks were purchased in
Topeka they would cost the county
So 90 for 500 one eight sheets, 81 80
800 one.tourth sheets, and Sc 90 for
800 one.half sheets. So it will be seen
that the HERALD is not robbing the
people, as the work is being done for
considerable less than the prices asked
by the large printing houses of the east.
The fact is that the present contract is
fair one, is full and explicit as to re.
quirements, and is secured by a good
bond. As the Dispatch and everyone
else does, the HERALD has charged the
county regular prices for work ordered
not covered by contract. Begging par.
don of the reader for taking so much
space in presenting this matter the
HERALD will let the printing matter
rest. The contract is let and will be
lived up to to the letter.

The Mysteries of a Lump of Coal.

For years no one had supposed that
lump of soft coal, dug from It's mine
Or bed in the earth. possessed any
other purpose than that of fuel. It
was next found that it would afford
a gas which was cOmbustible. Chemi-
cal analysis proved it to be made of
hydrogen. In process of time me-
chanical and chemical ingenuity de-
vlsed mode of manufacturing this
gas, and applying it to the lighting
Of buildings and cities on large
scale. In doing this, other products
of Installations were developed, until.
step by step. the following ingredi-
ents are extracted from it: An excel
lent oil to supply lighthouses, equal
to the best sperm oil at lower cost.
Benzole-a light sort of ethereal fluid,
which evaporates easily, and, COM
LINED with vapor or moist air, is used
for the purpose of portable gas-lamps,
so.called. Naphtha-a heavy fluid,
useful to dissolve gutta-p ercha and
India rubber. An excellent oil for
lubricating purposes. Asphaltum,
which is a black, solid substance, used
in making yarnishes, covering roofs
and covering over vaults. Paratfine-
a white crystalline substance, resent
bling white wax, which can be made
into beautiful wax candles; it
melts at a temperature of 10 de-
gress, and affords an excellent light.
All these substances are now made
from soft coal.

Famous Hunters.

In Signor Gessi's "Seven Years in
| the SOudan, the author describes s'the
| brothers Duma," two hunters, ''re-
nowned from kanka to the Victoria
Nyanza." They were in the habit OF
killing the buffalo, the rhlnocero4,
and the leopard-the tiercest animals
Of the country-With no emotion than
a European would experience in shoot.
Ing rabbits They were often sent
for from different parts to kill some
lion which was doing great mischief.
OF their elephant hunting the author
says:
In all the villages the brothers
found an enthusiastic welcome: the
people knowing that wherever they
were meat was never wanting. Both
men were strong-limbed and Of No.
common agility
When an elephant rushed upon
them they calmly awaited him, and
at the right moment leaped to one
side. The elephant, not being able
to stop, turned toward one of the two
brothers, and the other plunged a
lance into his side, The animal then
quilted the first man and fell upon
the one who had wounded him, and
at that instant the other cut the
tcndonS Of the hind legs bringing the
elephant at once TO the ground.
One day, however, one Of tho
brothers was near falling victim to
his bouncss. lie attacked an cle-
plant alone in the usual way, but
stumbled and fell. lie rose directly,
but the elephant had already seized
him in his trunk, and hurled him to
distan"c Of fifteen feet Fortu.
nately he fell in the middle of thick
bush, and escaped with some scratches
and bruises
His friends laughed at the accident,
and the next day he said
II would rather c,:t my wife several
times than not take my revenge
lie set cut again, refusing the com
pany Of his brother Late In the
evening he returned and called the
village together,
Come" he said, "he1p me bring
In the tusks, and take as much meat
for yourselves as you like"
All the population followed him.
He had killed nine huge elephants.

COLOR OF JERSEY COWS,

The prevailing color of the Jersey
cattle is fawn and white, or solid fawn
with darker shadings. Some families OF
the best reputation are dark-either what
is known as squirrel gray, with shading
to black, or nearly all black, with brown
shading. The nose is generally sur
rounded by a yellowlsh Or OF ange-col-
ore' ring, and the muzzle is black, but
come lave a light gray muzz!e and
fawn ring around it. A dark, reddish
fawn is not to be taken as a mark OF i'm
purity, TOR is a brownish black; but
these colors are not common or fashion
able. Ii COW is pure Jersey it is most

HOW FAR A CHILD TRAVELS.

Members of the Coming Generation.

~
The limit Of mans capacity for
speed and endurance in travel under

says the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette; but who has not witnessed
the almost ccasclcSS activity of a
child and been lei to cXciaim: II
wonder how far that child has trav-
eled tO-day?" a gentleman in Pitts
burgh recently attempted to answer
this query in an ingenious way. lie

PLANTING AN ASPARAGUS BED.

The right time to plant an asparagus
bed is either in the fall or early spring,
so you can take your choice. We pre-
fer the autumn If the roots can be as
readily obtained, because there is usually
more time to prepare the beds and fol
planting than in spring, when all kind,
of gardening operations are pressing.
No special preparation of the soil Is
necessary further than to pillow it deeply,
aud if it is not rich enough make, it so
ny liberal dressings of good stable ma
nure. Ii broken up eight to ten inches
deepit will answer very we'll for aspara.
gus grown for home use, which is usu-
ally cut at the surface of the ground,
and not several inches below it, as prac-
tised by gardeners who raise this vege-
table for market. Ole-or two years old
plants are best for setting out, and these
should be placed in rows four or five
feet apart, and from three to four feet
in the row. By giving the plants plenty
of room the stalks will grow much
larger than when the plants are crowded,
even if literally top. dressed with manure
every season. Trenches for the recep.
ton of the roots may be opened with a
pillow Or shovel, and when set in the
bottom, and five or six inches below the
natural surface of the ground, the soil
may be thrown back over them and the
bed made level again with rake or lar.
row. Oily moderate quantity OF
manure need be mixel with the roots
are in place spread liberal quantity
over the surface. No manure should be
buried under the plants, as often prac-
Used, for the roots will not descend to
secure nutriment; hence, placing it in
'ucl position is to waste it. All fer
ilizers should be applied to the surface

Zoe and cultivator. A light soil Is
preferable to heavy one for asparagus,
