DROUGHT PROBLEM SOLVED.
One Man can Pump BarreIl Of Water a Min
uts and Water Ten Acres.

Quite an advance in the way of an irri-
gazing pump is being exhibited at the Oak
street bridge over the Little Arkansas
river. Though novel and unlike any
other pump, it is as simple the ordin-
airy pump and much more effective and
endurable.
Is inventor, F. A. Morand, of Kearney,
Nebraska, claims that he strength OF one
man can pump one barrel of water in one
minute, that windmill can do the same
but will keep the work up longer, and
that no more work Is required for the
deepest we'll than for one fifteen feet deep.
The pump consists entirely of iron pipes
and valves. The pipes work on the prin-
ciple of telescope-when they are length
ened the fill with water when shortened
the water runs out.
The pump is built double. There are
two distinct pumps. Fastened to handle
handle rests. The entire pipe and the
column of water which it contains are lift
ed alternately in each pipe and alternately
lowered, thus balancing the columns lift
ed, save that one contains the length
of "A stroke more water than the other
Apart from friction the lifting of this
amount of water Is all that requires work
and as the pipes balance no matter how
long they are so there is no difference how
deep the well may be from which the
water is taken.
Mr.. Morand says the pump can be put
up Tor $50 without a Windmill or Il SIS
with mill and that it will irrgate over
ten acres of land at the lowest figures.
He has lived in Ne braska since 1858 and
has spent most OF his time working on
pumps. His idea came from trying to
make a hollow sucker to Il pump and
forcing the water out Of that.

THE HUTCHINSON AUDITORIUM.
HUTCHINSON. Kan, Feb. q


". NJ. Murdock Editor Daily Eagle.
My DEAR SIR-In your issue of Sunday
morning, Feb. %. page &. at the close of an
article entitled Leading the Van," no
tice you state that there is a conflict in the
dates OF the musical jubilee and knights
Templar at Hutchinson in May and that
one body must look for another central
point in which to meet. Will you please
correct this statement? While both bottles
meet the same week, there is no conflict
and complete arrangements have been
made to take care of both bodies in
handsome manner. Active committees
have been appointed to take care fully of
everybody who comes or may write for
quarters. AS your paper is largely circu-
lated through this part of the state, the
closing clause of the article may create
some misunderstanding. The EAGLE has
always been considerate and fair and
hence / do not hesitate to request the cor
rection. The action of your citizens to-
ward building an auditorium is commend
able and ought to bring good results.
There were twenty-one public gatherings
held at Hutchinson last year that could not
have been held without an auditorium, to
accommodate the people. Hutchinson.
Wichita aud Salina should control at
least half or more of all the public gather
ings of the state of Kansas, aud would do
So if they had a suitable building in which
to gather.
The people OF Hutchinson have the most
friendly feeling towards Wichita and
their mutual interests are TO build each
other up and to support each others men
and measures.
The people OF this city would thank yon
to make the correction.

The committee reported the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
Our custodian and co-laborer, NJ. NJ

wierd and solemn shadows iIumined b.
the rays of Christianity, crowned with
duties well done and honors well per-
formed. We therefore tender to our Gus
todian, N. NJ McCollister, ouE profound
sympathy in his overshadowing grief and
irreparable bereavement.
The Judge and jury also presented a
beautiful floral offering-a sheaf of wheat
surmounted by sickle made of tuberoses,
immortelles and other beautiful flowers.
Arson Skinner Camp No. 40 Sons Of
Veterans, by a rising vote, unanimously
passed the following last evening:
Rev. John l.. McCOllister. member of
Udall post g. \. K and father of brother
NJ. NJ. McCollister of this camp was ac-
cdentally killed on the streets OF Wichita,
February 25 1894, and in his death one
more faithful defender of our country in
its hour of need, joined the silent jority.
The community lost faithful citizen a
loval friend and a kind Christian gentle
man; our brother his dearly beloved
father.
Our hearts go out in tender sympathy to
our brother in his affiiction-the more be-
cause so uneXpectediy-and it is our de-
sire to assist in healing his sorrow.
Therefore the first sergeant of this camp
is instructed to convey to brother McCol-
lister this action and to assure him, we
