A SUBTERRANEAN OCEAN.
1t Is Believed TO Underiie Nebraska, Kan.
sas and Indian Territory.

sns ana Indian Territory.
The best scientists Of the land favor
the opinion that Nebraska, Kansas and
part of Indian Territory are situated
over an immense underground lake or
sea. It is well known fact that in sew
eral places in Kansas whole sections of
land have suddenly disappeared, leaving
only fathomloss lakelets TO mark the
spot where they were once situated
Proof that there is something peculiar
with the foundation Of the section of
the country mentioned may be found in
the celebrated tide wells" Of Polk,
Butler and Colfax counties in Nebras-
ka. Polk county Is best provided with
these curious wells, having between
dozen and 20 which roar and ebb and
flow with an unseen tide The roaring
of these remarkable ouriosities-they
cannot be called natural wonders, be-
cause they are the work of man, at least
so far as excavation is concemed-is
caused by the inhalation and exhalation
of immense quantities of air. There are
hours, regular and uniform, in which
the air will rush ont with loud, hiss
ing sound, and again an equal space of
time in which it seems that all the air
Of the Platte valley will be sucked into
the cavernous depths of these wonderful
wells.
The period Of this ebb and flow does
not seem TO depend upon either the sea-
sons or the state of the weather, but is
thought to have some mysterious con-
nection with the high and low tide pc
RODS of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
A meteorologist of national reputation,
who sought to fathom the mystery of
the "Platte river tide wells" and who
issued little pamphlet with the title
"Roaring Wells of Nebraska" gave it
as his opinion that the roaring phenom-
enon was i'll some way connected with
the prevailing direction of the wind,
being strongest in time of west or south
west breezes. The farmers in the three
counties mentioned as being best pro-
vided with these tide regulated, air ex-
pelling wells believe that the water sup
ply is connected with q body large
enough to have regular ebb and flow
Of tide All the wells in the counties of
Polk and Butler which are tide regulat-
ed are Of about the same depth, those
of Colfax being deeper, but all extend
ing to porous stratum having the same
general characteristics. st. Louis Re-

PLAYING IN THE GARRETT.
Some Of the Resources and Pleasures of tho
Playroom Under the Roof.

Piayroom Under the Roof.
'There is one delight" said man
who was reared in small town, "that
suppose many children born in great
cities never know, and that is the de-
light of playing in the garret. Many
city children, to be sure, have relatives
in the country or in smaller cities or
towns whom they have visited, who live
in houses with garrets, and these know
something Of the delights of the garret,
but there must be many city children
who never even heard the name

self was full Of treasures. There was
room, to begin with, space to move
about in, though You needed to look out
little for the timber in the sloping
roof There was swing from two of
the beams, and we used to swing and
swing in that and never get tired of it,
There was chimney up through this
garret, great, big, friendly chimney,
and we used to play tag around that
chimney until we couldn't run any
more. There was great lot of old
magazines, and these We're an unfailing
source Of delight. There were old books
in queer type and with strange looking
pictures. There We're queer old hair
covered trunks, with round tops, stud
ded with brass headed nails In these
trunks and around in the garret were
curious, old fashioned mems clothes,
and the most extraordinary gowns and
capes and hats of women-not fancy
costumes, but the real things, such as
they actually wore many years ago, and
looking stranger than anything you
could hire at a costumer's. We used to
dress up sometimes in these old, old
things and parade around in the garret
and have great times generally, and so
forgot ourselves in the delights of the
garret that the very world itself looked
strange when we came down stairs and
back to 1t.

TIE LAW INDICATED.

Prendergast has been hung. The
law has been vindicated and an object
lesson been taught those who would
wreak their vengeance in the garb OF
insanity. The assassin was given a
fair trial and q verdict rendered accord
ing to the law and the evidence.
Carter Harrison, the victim Of the
assassin, was one of Americas greatest
men. His name was q household word
in Chicago, and throughout the land
he was loved and honOred. lie was
murdered in cold blood, and law deal
ing out justice with impartial hand has
triumphed over crime. Prendergsst's
life was poor retribution for such
an one as he took, but the law de-
manded it, aud upon the gallows it has
been taken.
The assassin was not what a we'll
be termed a perfectly sane man, or he
never would have committed the crime
for the reasons he gave. He was
ignorant of law. yet he demanded an
appointment that required much legal
ability. This showed that he was moi
as logical as he might have been, and
yet his execution was justifiable. The
class to which he belonged is growing
too fast for the country's good. A
man who is balanced upon all subjects
except crime, should not come within
the leniency granted to the insane.
The anarchists, socialists and cranks oil
the Prendergast type, come within the
meaning of the law that ''murder is q
crime punishable by death" He who
without cause, takes the life of a fellow
man Is not worthy of life. The crime
for which Prendergast was executed IL
one of the worst in the criminal cate,
CORY, and though severe the penalty, Il
was Just that it be meted out to him.

FOR

These were the words that issued
from the lips of a man in the 'com-
mOnwealers" march here, Monday.
They are words that mean much. They
are words that even delivered in jest
are objectionable, and when coming
from the lips Of one who delivers them
o cheer indOlent scoundrels, they
breed contempt. Up with Coxey,
means down with law. 1t means
anarchy. 1t means that the rights in
sured by the Declaration of Independ-
ence are to be trampled beneath the
feet of blatant demagogues, and inso-
lent, indolent rascals who will not toll
for a livelihood. 1t means that those
who labor shall divide the earnings of
their labor with wretches who would
starve before they would turn over
their hand for bread.
"Hurrah for Coxey!" means about As
much as a cheer for Herr Most, Prem
dergast or Santo. These words were
delivered from the mouth of a man,
who above all men should be conserva-
tive, but who has caused the miners of
this district more hardships than any
other. From the man who has made
it his business to create strikes, and
whose actions have proven that he is
against law and order, and an enemy
to the people of tins community.
ssStrike'' is his watch word and ''star-
vation' seems to be his motto. "Hur-
rah for Coxcy!" shouted in stentorian
tones from the lips of one Thomas b.
McGregor, meant upon this occasion,
s.down with Lexington's city govern
ment."
Our council had at the instance OF
our citizens passed a resolution that
the Coxeyites be requested not to land
in Lexington. Thomas b. McGregor,
who is a labor agitator, took il upon
himself to get the Coxeyites to stop
here and to parade our streets. he
had his way, and under his leadership
the whole outfit was marched triumph
antly through the city, in spite of the
wishes Of our law abiding people to
whom he and his men have gone for
assistance and have moi been turned
away. He informed the mayor, who
requested him not to attempt the
demonstration, that he was doing SO
because of the resolution passed by the
city council.
McGregor is IN enemy to Lexington,
and if our w~orkingmen only knew it,
he Is their greatest foe.
The INTELLIGENCER respects our
laborers, and IS eve ready and willing
to extend to them any assistance it can
honestly extend, but it wishes, as a
friend, to tell the miners of this city
that the actions of T. b. McGregOr
have been the cause of the withdrawal
of public sympathy and public assis-
lance. We believe had it not been for
him our mining troubles would have
been settled long ago, and that too,
satisfactorily to the miners.
Can't our la6oring men see the mis-
cry they are bringing upon themselves,
wives and children under the leader
ship of this blatant demagogue?
These words are addressed in kind
ness to the miners, but in contempt for
the man who is doing all in his power
to continue the strike and to indulge
idleness. II the miners want the public
to stand by them, they must stand by
the public and law, and they must not
shoulder the errors of McGregor.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1894-07-21
GO TO WORK.

As a rule the miners of Lexington
are a law abiding, respectable set Of
men. They are not tinctured with
anarchy nor crime, but believe in up
holding law and in living in peace
with all mankind. As q rule, they are
industrious and intelligent. They have
been out of employment now for more
than three months. Many of them
began the strike penniless and without
food. They began by appointing a
soliciting committee TO obtain food and
raiment. Upon every hand they met
with sympathetic words and received
substantial assistance.
The INTELLIGENCER was upon sew
eral occasions, solicited for donations
and upon no occasion we're the miners
turned away without receiving q con-
tribution. We have, or more than one
occasion, demonstrated u friendship
for those of our fellowmen who are
engaged in mining, therefore, we feel
that w can talk plainly and candidly
to them.
Gentlemen, you have been engaged
in your battle for higher wages for a
good while. In fighting for what you
deem to be a just principle, you have
seen the wolf knock at the door of
many Of your fellows, and the hard
ships which you have endured cannot
be recounted in words. 1t has been
with you q battle for existence and
upon the sympathy and generosity of a
community you have eked out a meager
livelihood. Your calls for aid have been
answered generously. You are citizens,
good ones, and you have rights that
must be upheld and protected. If il
was in the power of the I~NTELLIGEN-
GER and of the citizens of Lexington
you would be getting higher wages
than you demand, but it is not so.
The operators here cannot afford to
N their mines at a loss, any more
than q the merchants afford to sell
their goods below cost. They have
met you with a compromise, and you
have refused to accept. The operators
are not bad men. They are honest
citizens and you have their sympathy,
and We are sure that they would do all
in their power to assist you.
Gentlemen, you are about 1900
strong, your misfortune is Lexington's
misfortune. With all Of you out of
work, living upon our citizens gener-
osity, the business of our town is
affected seriously. While the wages
you are offered are not possibly what
the operators would have them, and
yet what they offer will 60 just that far
towards putting food in the mouths of
your wives and children.
Can't you settle this strike and go
to work and provide yourselves with
lIfe's necessariesP Is it not better TO
make a dollar and a half per day and
support your wives and children than
it is to live in idleness and let hungry
mouths, dependent upon you, go
unfedP Can't you relieve the suffering
by taking your pick and shovel and
using them TO the best advantage
under the circumstapcesP
! Our citizens feel that they have done
