THE IRRIGATION CONVENTION.

Hon. E. B. Cowgirl, secretary of the
Kansas Irrigation association. has issued
the following card in further explana-
ton of the great convention to be held
in this city next week, beginning on
Wednesday, the 22nd. in regard to routes
of travel and railroad fares:
''The rate at which names of dele
gates and titles of papers are already
coming in is an indication that the
Wichita convention, which assemblies at
10 o'clock on the 22nd, will be an en-
thusiastic one, and that it will cover at
least two and possibly three days.
Complete programs of the convention will
probably be given TO the press by the 18th.
Round trip rates of one and one-third
fare have been given us by the Western
Passenger association, good over the
Santa Fe, the Frisco, the Burlington &
Missouri River, the Rock Island. the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Union Pacific and the
Grand Island. These rates are granted
with the usual provisions, to-wit: First.
that at least $50 paying passengers mnst
be IN attendance at the conventions; sec
ond, that each person purchasing tick
ct to Wichita pays one full fare, taking
the agents certificate to that effect.
Tickets may be purchased November IS
to %, inclusive. Parties who have to
use TWO OF more railroads in reaching
Wichita should inquire for through
ticket TO Wichita. If a through ticket is
not obtainable, buy to junction and then
buy again, taking certificate from the
agent each time. Return tickets will be
good for continuous passage only, with
III two days after adjournment"

THE QUESTION OF IRRIGAT

From the Hutchinson News.
Now the election is over, and politics
may be given brief rest. There is
another matter that may properly re-
ceive considerable degree of atten-
lion from our farmers. We refer to
the matter Of irrigation. Perhaps ''irri-
CATION" is not the best term to convey
our intended meaning, for the word in
It's broader sense carries with 1T the idea
of natural barrenness through lack of
Ia infall. Such is not the case in this
portion Of Kansas. One year with an
other our crops average better than they
do in Illinois, Iowa or Missouri. They
are not confined to any one prodnct, but
comprise the entire range Of agriculture
and horticulture. Yet there are few
years when little moisture in addition
to the natural rainfall could not be prof
itably applied 10 growing crops. This is
true to every agricultural state, but es-
pecially pertinent to Kansas, where "a
wave of ''hot winds has been known
to turn a most favorable prospect
into failure. Il the farmers Of
Reno county were all fixed so they
could irrigate their land even but once in
an entire season, they would never fail
TO raise an enormous corn crop. A corn
failure would be out of the question, for
a single soaking of our porous soil, at
the right time, means crop, no matter
what SORT of weather may follow.
A partial irrigation would also ma
teriaijy increase the moisture in the at
mosphere, and thereby increase the rain
fall. The irrigation of one tenth part of
the land of the Arkansas Valley might
be sufficient for all. That much, at
least, OF the land ought to be irrigated
without much trouble, either by the
storage of the rainfall. the damnihg of
running brooks, or by some system of
pumping the water from the inc xhausli-
BILE underflow.
1t is the question of method that should
engage the attention of the farmers Of
the Arkansas Valley, and when they do
give it their attention we believe they
will be able to devise effective and eco
nomical means of accomplishing the de-
sired result.

TIE HUMILIATION OF IT ALL.

The gang of fugitives and braggart
pretenders who, through a elimination
of extraneous exigencies and of multi
piled misfortunes. so abruptly came into
the control of the political affairs of
Kansas, have been so opportunity IN
masked, and the great majority of the
inhabitants of Kansas, including thous-
ands of intelligent and honest people
who were misled by the pretenses of a
raft of local and imported demagogues.
are left wondering how it all ever hap
pened. The rascaily lot OF imitators
have shed their veneering, and few men
are so prejudiced or ignorant as not to
see and understand the imposition and
humiliation of it all. 1t did not require
Mrs. Lease to turn states evidence that
her late cOnfreres and abettors might
he exposed and condemned. Her
unsupported word is of little
worth to the public, as it
is OF late with her WhlOm colleagues.
They and she are all of a lot, all actua-
ted by the same mercenary motives, ali
having encompassed their aims and un-
worthy ambitions by the small methods
of the blatant boaster and every dav
common liar. The one regret and it is
one that is now well-nigh universal. will
be that so large a number of this gang
of guerilias who have caused the name
of Kansas to become byword, de-
stroyed the credit of the state and driven
from her fair borders thousands of wor-
thy people and millions of capital, must
for time still retain their places of
power and of trust where they can loot
IN the name of liberty and rob under
protests of honesty and economy, until
by the limitation of law they shall stink
down and out and away from the state
never to be heard Of again.

INGERsoLL ON THE ELECTION

Colonel Ingersoll was interviewed in
Boston on Saturday evening, touching
what in his opinion were and would he

talked rapidly and earnestly. The fol-
lowing is the interview:
"How do you account for the Repui-
iican landslide in the recent election"
In Just ore way. We have had and
we are having hard times. People saw

Prior to this fall it was the policy oil
Scott & Bovine to place all their United
States advertising through an advertis.
ing agency in New York City, but the
advertising department has grown to
such proportions that it became advis-
able to handle the United States advsr.
Using the same as foreign countries
that is, from the home office. In sever
al countries there are still advertising
agencies employed to certain extent
but the growth of business necessi-
tates a Capitalization Of work under the
one head Of the advertising department
in New York, which is personally super
intended by Mr.. Scott himself, although
Mr.. Scott delegates tie details, SUCH as
the making Of contracts, ETC., to his SUBJ
ordinaies.
Mr.. Bovine attends to the financial
part of this great business, aud thus the
responsibility is divided evenly between
the members of the concern.
The purest and best medicinal cod
liver oil in the world is made in Norway,
and it has been to an extent through the
influence of Scott & Bovine that the
standard of its manufacture has been
elevated in that country. Scott &
Bovine consume a large percentage Of
all the first grade medicinal Norway
cOd-liver oil. They import it them
selves to their various factories, and are
continually making improvements in
their emulsion. Experiments are con-
stantly made with the oil, and it issno
injustice TO others TO say that in its de-
gree Of perfection SCOTS Emulsion
stands head and shoulders above all
other forms OF cod-liver oil.
Such has been the growth OF SCOTS
Emulsion, and this is only one instance
of the development of the legitimate
advertising of an article of merit
Physicians and the public generally have
found by years OF experience with
SCOTS Emulsion that it has great meri.,
being much more effective than plain
oil IN the cure of Wasting Diseases, such
as Consumption, ScrofIla. An@mia,
Ling and Throat Troubles, Loss of
Flesh and Wasting away of Children,
and this accounts largely for its sale all
over the world iii the countries
wherein it is advertised. There are
many other similar cases, and no
one is better fitted TO testify to the
truth of This article than publishers
who hay reaped their share
of the harvest.

Ex-senator Harlan is one of the patri-
archs of Iowa Republicanism, who rep
resented the voice of the state in the
senate when Lincoln was in the White
House. He believes in prohibition, bu,
not as political measure, and his advice
given TO the convention over which he
presided and to the people that conven-
ton represented has been followed.
Their victory was due to their unity on
Republican principles, and thousands of
those who had been driven from the
Republican ranks by the introduction of
questions that lie outside of the pur-
view of the principles OF the party" came
back when these questions were again
reIegated to the people and not made a
test of Repubicanism. In Ohio the
same thing occurred, the result ben.
that that disturbing question and It's
champions We're alike completely lost.
while the Republican party, untramelei
by it, Won an unparalleled triumph uron

toast racks and egg boilers
Most beautiful silver bowls for

West Point buckles are reproduced
in silver and silver gilt. These are
solid and frequently plain, except for
the engraved monogram which. how
ever, is made highly ornate. Navy
buckles. on the other hand, have some
appropriate insignia.
Brush trays seem to recommend
themselves as necessities. They are of
ivory with o6long compartments at

compartment in the center is foored

be dropped.

body of seed pearls and spots of oil
vine. The bug world does not seem SO
supreme now as during the summer

That such relations with it could only
