SUMMARY.

Notwithstanding the growing de-
msnds of the state each succeeding year,
and notwithstanding the fact that
considerable money was appropriated at
the legislative session of 1898, which
would not have been done but for the
stubbornness of the republicans, yet I
have the very great pleasure of announc-
ing to the people Of the state of Kansas
that the Peoples party has and will save
to them by the expiration of their pres
emit terms of office the sum of 1851, 76903
on the items above mentioned, to which
should be added all the savings made
by other state officers and state institu-
tions, an amount large enough to in
crease that sum to 100000.
The results of the labor necessary to
compile the above statistics are no mors
astonishing to you, dear reader, than it
is gratifying to me. I am also aston
ished that the comparison has resulted
SO very fRvorsbly to the Peoples party,
of which L am proud to be an humble
member.
LEGISLATIVE COMPARISON.
The following are the total amounts
appropriated by the legislature for the
annexed years as shown by the state
treasurer's books:

Eighth General remarks.
Among the items which should be
charged to the republican administra-
ton are the following deficiency sppro-
pristlons bills which are a part Of the
legacy Of the Peoples party, inherited
from the republican party. In order
that the reputation and credit Of the
state should be preserved, the Peoples
party had to pay these deficiency bills,
incurred in many cases by republican
officers either in violation Of law, or
with the belief that the next legislature
would allow these bills according to
former customs.

LIBERAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
There was appropriated for the i'm
provement of the buildings OF state in
situations, steam and electric light
plants, sewers, etc., $315, 800, which
assistant state treasurer, George M
Seward (republIcan), says is more
than five times as much as is ordinarily
appropriated for that purpose. As Popu-
lists we plead guilty to the charge of
favoring public improvements, and tax
ing care Of our state institutions.
Out of this s3I5. 800, four-fifths of it,
which is the amount appropriated over
ordinary years, or s242,4 was saved to
the state because it was spent in build
while under former administrations the
politicians have managed to get up "legis-
lat1ve Investigations" etc, by which
they disposed of this surplus sppropris-
tion.

There has been quite saving on the
engroesing and enrolling forces Of the
legislature since the demand for re-
trenchment by the Popul1sts. but as the
records on this point do not appear to
be complete it is difficult to obtain the
exact figures. Suffice it to say that
it amounts to several thousand dollars
saved to the state. There are also saw
ings being made by almost all Of the
state institutions which are too numer-
GUS to mention.
Auditor Van Prather has also made a
large saving over former years by rs
ducing claims for fees made by sheriffs
for taking prisoners to the penitentlary.
For example: If a sheriff was away
from home forty EIGHT hours, he would
formerly charge per diem for six days,
which was allowed; but for this he is
now allowed only two days. Also allow
Rnces have been made for roundabout
trips to the penitentiary, while now the
auditor takes the map and counts up a
direct route to Lansing, for which pay
is allowed only.

The MilliOnaire's Illness.

An enterprising German had tried in
vain to make fortune in many ways
Luck was always against him; and at
last, to crown his misfortunes, he
fell i'll. But on what the doctor de-
clared to be his death-bed an idea
with millions in it struck him. He
sent for a lawyer and dictated a will,
in which he bequeathed vast sums of
money to his wife. his family, and
various charitable institutions.
The lawyer. notorious talker,
spread the tidings, and great was the
chagrin of numerous acquaintance
to think how they had neglected to
pay court to the diving millionaire.
But our strategist wasn't So ill as
the doctor had supposed, and pres
emily he recovered. Then it was that
fortune hunters begged him to invest
their money, urged him to accept
loans, and gave him q credit second
to none in the CITY, At first he coyly
refused these fiattering testimonials,
but was gradually forced to relent
and having lived in clover for a con-
siderable time has just failed for an
enormous sum.

He laid his watch on the great anvil

An Austrian Said to Have Invented ~
Modern Screw Propeller.
The Austrians have just been cels-
brating the centenary Of Joseph Res
sci. one OF the many claimants to the
honor of being the inventor Of the
screw propeller, by q festival in front
If his statue In front Of the Poly
technic Institute of Vienna. It is
said that Ressel, who died In poverty
and neglect in 1857, described his
plan for using the Archimedean screw
for the propulsion Of ships as long
ago as 1912, but 1t was not until 1929.
when all his earlier patents had
lapsed for want of money to renew
them, that he succeeded in interest
ing Trieste merchant F0ntana. in
his device, and securing trial for it
on board u small steamer called the
Cidetta- Unluckily for him one of
his steam pipes burst and the au-
thorities thereupvn forbade all fur
thcr experiments. Poor Ressel was
derided on all sides, and was asked
whether he wished to bore hole in
the sea. The New York Evening
Post says there is no doubt that he
was a genius IN his way, or that he,
in comm with many others. was
working on tie principle of the screw
for some years before Ericsson OBJ
tanned his patent ir 1896. John
Bourne, in his eatise on the screw
propeller, describes 1875 different In
ventions, but does not even mention
the name Of Ressel. although mon
ument to the memory Of the latter
had been erected already at Vienna
Ericsson's plea for patent was con-
tested stOutly in the English law
courts, but he was able to prove that
the only propeller in use before 1886
was the Archimedean screw, and one
with arms like the vane Of a smoke
jack. Captain Delisle, French en-.
gineer, presented a design for a SUBJ
merged screw to the ministry of ma
rinc as early as 1923. But the Aus
TRAN inventor must have been a re-
markable man. for in the list of his
inventions, which persisted for want
of money, may be found steam tram
ways, the pneumatic tube, iron ribs
for ships and bent wood for furniture.

William Fl. Preece, F. r. s, of the
London Institution OF Electrical En-
gineers, has devised a new form of
cable, which he says will probably
quadruple the rate of cabling across
the Atlantic. II this Is SO, and
cable of such efficiency can be pro-
duced, the mucn-talked. transat-
lantic telephone may yet be forth
coming. Mr. Preece, in his address
before the institution OF engineers,
was enthusiastic in favor OF the
scheme, and that it will be brought
forward is apparent from the fact
that the English Government has
made grant Of 50, 500, 900 to develop
long. distance telephony, and part
Of this sum is to be devoted to ex-
perimenti tending to carrying out
the scheme OF bringing the two conti-
nents within speaking distance OF
each other. Whether this will be
accomplished in the near future,
however, is a question. 1t is some
thing, however, to know that work is
being done in this line. Professor

Flowing Under Dew.

We knew a farmer once, says the
American Cultivator who claimed
great benefit from blowing and Guilt
waiting land while its foliage was wet
with dew. His theory was that the
dew had much more ammonia and
carbonic acid gas than had rain water,
and that these il turned under the
surface, could not fail to enrich the
soil. We think there is something in
that practical farmers theory. There
is at least the advantage that the man
who tries that plan must needs be
up bright and early, and if he works
till II o'clock can we'll afford to take
two or three hours incoming during
the hottest part of the day. This is
better for both men and teams than
beginning late and taking no rest ex-
cept hurriedly-eaten dinner until
work stops 1t is the continuous
work without rest that is most ex-
haustive, and If getting the dew I'M
der the soil adds fertility the days
work ought to begin early, and the
rest come an hour or two before noon.
But dew, even IL not plowed under,
helps the soil that it drops on. Every
one has noticed that when heavy
dews fall on clover, grass or corn,
then drops Of dew fall from the leaves
upon the ground. The soil absorbs
the carbonic acid and ammonia when
the dew touches it. The effect of
plaster of paris to increase the dew
fall may be one of the reasons why it
helps clover and other crops so re-
markably as it often does 1t has
little or no fertiiizing properties in
itself, but when it is placed on any
kind of vegetation it enormously in
creases the dew-fall upon it, and that
helps both the plant and the fertility
o. the soil.
