Summer School Notes.

Arrangements have been completed
for several lectures by prominent
educators during the course of the
summer school.
Mesdames Young and Leach have
the thanks of the training school for
the beautiful bouquets that adorned the
desks Wednesday morning.
An absence of men has had the ef-
feet of detracting from the interest
usually manifested, at least such must
be Inferred from remark made by a
good looking school ma am. There
are only two or three men in regular
attendance. %
We were glad to welcome Mr..

Not a hardness so far and but few

Special mention should be made of

Mayfeld was called on to speak. He
informed them that they had made
no showing against the county Off
cials and the so-called gang. They
had led him and others to believe Il
very bad state of affairs existed and
that they had documentary evidence
to prove the same He then invited
them to stay over night and make the
startling disclosures after supper
1t now began to dawn on the re-
formers that they had made fzzle,
but still the meeting was prolonged
until Gene Wilcox was loaded He
showed that he owed as much water

not even have ditch built yet, but
he could not see that the republican,
party was to blame for his misfortune.
The meeting then adjourned.
Thus ended a meeting that had
promised the most startling disclos-
ures. If these reformers could have
made their promised exposures, they
would have revolutionized the poll
tics of Prowers county. Some of
them are either the biggest liars or
the biggest towards that ever entered

Before leaving town on Saturday
night some of our Lamar visitors
complained bitterly of what they
called discourteous treatment. 1t
seems TO us that Granada extended
to her visitors every possible courtesy.
The audience was respectable in num-
bers and kept the most perfect order,
and gave the speakers the closest pos
sible attention. They even went so
far as to applaud George W. Buffers
statement that he was an old fash
ioned democrat, and one other speak
er's reference to free coinage. There
was nothing else to applaud and so
the audience remained quiet They
could not laugh because the chair

the Reformers at Granada.

orators invaded Granada last Satur-
day. They had good sized audi
ence of Granada's leading citizens.
Some of these reformers circulated
among the people and assured them
that they had convincing proofs that
the republican county officers had
been stealing large sums of money.
The reformers asserted that they had
documents to prove this and that other
startling exposures would be made.
Reformer Bentley, being chosen
chairman, proceeded to air his griev-
ances. He told dismal tale of taxes
and interest on water rights, but in
response to questions denied that any
of the county officers had wronged
him or any of his neighbors. The
audience stared at him, and, con-
scious of failure, he sat down.
Then Mr.. Waldo arose and made
what would have been good speech
had the audience come to hear a
comic oration. They stared at him.
and he sat down. He had roared but
nobody could tell what he was roar
ing about.
Hon. G. W. Butler was the next
speaker. Mr.. Butler had that far
away look of man who is compelled
to say something but wishes he was
at home. George declined to make
any charges against anybody. He
contented himself with saying that
Grover Cleveland. John Sherman and
Senator Hoar were working together
as gold bugs, he therefore favored the
independent party. The speaker be
ing unable to gather any inspiration
from the faces of his Granada audi
tors sat down.
Up to this point little or nothing
had been said about high salaries. At
The beginning of the independent
movement high salaries had been the
main kick, but as Pike and Crawford
had jumped pell-mell into the move
ment the reformers were compelled
to hedge" on the salary kick.
Mr. Crawford thereupon arose and
proceeded to show conclusively that
neither himself nor any of the re
publican officials had received as
much salary as the law allowed. For
some unaccountable reason he did not
furnish any statistics concerning the
county treasurer's salary. The only
reason he gave for joining the inde-
pendents was that northsiders had
lost their alfalfa crops and had men
capable of filling all the county Offices
Swift, Bedell, Dickson and Irwin
were loudly called for, but the muse
that had inspired those orators to
such heroic efforts in the north side
school houses was strangely silent.
Up to this point the meeting had
been a failure. There was breathless
expectancy when Judge Blodgett, the
republican, gold bug, union labor,
populist, freee silver, Independent or
ator, arose. It was soon evident that
he was merely repeating his old anti
everything speech, which had induced
the Granada voters last fall to give
Judge Doughty a triumphant major
ity. The Granada audience simply
stared at him. He next tried pro-
family, but the audience only smiled
The Judge then became incoherent
and soon sat down.
The Lamarites then called upon
Mr.. Clark Walker for speech. Mr.
Walker kindly and politely informed
the reformers that they had failed to
make any showing whatever. They
had utterly failed to show any reason
why man should desert his party
and follow the independent move

Recent foreign journals speak Of q
most remarkable FIRE extinguishinQ
agent, the invention of gentleman OF
Lucerne, Switzerland This chemical
compound Is stated to be nine times
more effective than ordinary water, and
among its other qualities possesses the
valuable faculty Of rendering individ-
nals virtually freproof A number Of
experiments have been made 70 prove
It's efficiency, and the Insurance News,
OF Manchester, England, says concern
ing the tests that the impunity with
which the exhibitors approached masses
OF fame gave them almost the appear
ance Of being In their natural element.
When the hands are dipped In this solu-
ton burning materials may be manipu-
lated with perfect safety. The first ex-
pertinent was supposed 70 represent
the upsetting of q paraffine lamp, the
oil flowing In a stream over the table
cloth and immediately blazing up In a
furious fame. BY SIMPLY passing the
hands wet with the solution over the
burning cloth this flame was speedily
extinguished, although the table itself
had caught fire, and the exhibitor ap-
peared to be in no little danger.
In the next test q mass Of pitch was
ignited in a small pit and allowed to be-
come thoroughly lighted, the smoke
and flames rising up in volumes. The
application of two buckets of the solu-
ton had an almost magical effect. the
flames dying down at once, while not
only the FIRE, but even the heat arising
therefrom entirely disappeared, the
pitch becoming at once quite cold. The
final experiment, which was considered
the most efficient. as the fire was open
and unconfncd in every direction, con-
sisted In extinguishing the flames IN
wooden structure made of a mass OF
slaves saturated with parafane oil.
When ignited this combination gave
forth an enormous volume Of heat. To
extinguish this small hand engine
holding about thirty gallons Of the
agent was employed, and as result Of
