Wasted Water.

About as faithful a comment on the
irrigation wastcfulness and the fool
ishness Of digging wells to secure
water when nearby rivers are flowing
on unused is this by George W.
Martin: We infer from Il cores
pondenM In the Seneca Tribune, en-
titled, "Water Plenty vs. Water
Doubtful that the people Of that
community are boring around in the
earth for water, while an abundance
flows by in the Nemaha That is
what junction City did, and we think
all communities should profit by the
experience Of others. Seneca has
lately voted bonds lor water supply.
Junction City did the same thing,
with the understanding that the
water was to be taken from the Re-
publican river, An abundance was
flowing by in sight, but Il fool from
Washington university in st. Louis
made them believe that the latest
way to get water was to sink a well,
and he figured that hole thirty or
forty feet in diameter would produce
u million gallons day. In the face
of the blttcrest opposition the council
took his advice and when the plant
was finished it was demonstrated that
all the hole would yield was forty
thousand gallons per day. Alta loss
of $4,000 and couple Of years time
they were compelled to move the
plant to the bank of the river. II
Seneca wants to buy a hole it can yet
one very cheap at junction City, II
water is wanted and there is enough
in sight 1t had better be accepted as
the supply.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. The capitol
was practically deserted yesterday
Only few rambling sight-seers. the
capitol police and now and then stray
senator and representative woke the
echoes Of It's spacious corridors. The
charm Of the festivities Of Christmas at

Of them were at their desks for short
time examining their mail, but they
had put their congressional labors be-
hind them and matters congressional
were in state Of suspended animation.
No committee work will be done at
either end OF the capitol during the re-

mittee on rules, Of which he is chair
man, will not take up the question OF a
clotnre rule or any other subject until
after January l. The Kentucky SEN

until congress rcconyencs. Some work
will be done on the appropriation bills
yet unreported by Chairman Sayres and
some OF the members Of the sub-com-
mittce, but their work will be subject
to ultimate revision when the full COM

superintendent went over In a special

tin horns and Beloit had the remain

Whether because Of the literary tai

prevailed and the contest wasin every

One Of the most remarkable YER
diets ever rendered in this State was
handed in by jury. in the Tom
Mcdonald murder case at Wellington
Saturday. Mcdonald was accused Of
numbering Tom Patton in Sumner
county last month and there seems to
have been no denial Of the fact that
he did the killing. The defense was
that Anderson Gray, McDonald's en-
ployer, hypnotized him and caused
him to murder Patton because Patton
knew something to Gray's detriment.
The jury after short absence from
the courtroom acquitted Mcdonald.
Hypnotism is sure to become very
popular as a defense for crime. What
will soon be needed will be statute
against practicing hypnotism.
