His Rnsiness. Exactly.

It was on quiet street in Washing ton. and the only sound that broke the stiffness was the cry of an old colored man who was peddling bivalves from a push-cart. His noise evidently dis turbed somebody, for a window opened and woman thrust out her head to say: Dear me! what a great clamorr' The man stopped his cart, took off his hat and said, with a bow: ''Thanlky, lady, thanlzy! Oats what I is. Is de greatest clammer in de whole Districk of Columbian"

AFRICAN COIFFURES.
Styles That Would Hardly Find Favor In
 This Country.

This country
 A recent visitor to Samoa tells of a famous village beauty in that remote region whose headdress is thus de scribed: Round her forehead was a band of small pieces of nautilus shell; above lowered mass of human hair that had been bleached for months in a marsh, with scraps of loobing-glass arranged in front, the whole sur mounted with trail of red humming- birds feathers"
 Dr. Drummond, in his book of Afri- can travel, makes mention of the chief tain's daughter, whose hair, heavily greased with ground-nut oil, was made up into small-sized balls, like black entrants, and then divided into pat terns-diamonds, clrcles, and parterres, designed with the skill of a land scape gardener. Both these arrange ments" would, in the eyes of civilized artists and connoisseurs, be probably regarded as sewage monstrosities, but it is to be doubted whether they are not utterly surpassed by the goldfinch and canary arrangement, by a king fishers wing crowned with red shiver- ing glass and sham jewels, both ln tawdry insolence and dcpravity of taste. What is called ''barbarous" if found among savages may, after all, be the very height of fashion in May fair, though the cheap finery of the Samoan or African belle is marked neither by cruelty to the victim nor by cain to the artist.

HIS VISIT TO EUROPE.
The Importance of Topekan's Mission
to London.

From the Cimarron New West.l
Much importance is attached to the
visit of j. w. Gleed, attorney, of Topeka,
who is now en- route to London, England,
in the interest Of the bond holders Of the
Eureka irrigating canal The English
bond holders comprise the majority of
/ the stock holders of the Eureka canal.
just what Mr.. Gleed will accomplish we
are not advised; but from hints dropped
we are led to believe that his mission viii
result in good to the future operations Of
the canal 1t is known that Mr.. Gleed
was here few weeks ago making the
preliminary move toward the fOrecloslng
OF the mortgage held by the English
bond holders. 1t is said that the design
Is TO foreclose the mortgage and purchase
the canal by the larger stock holders,
who will put the ditch in working order
A squeezing out Of the small holders
will enable the larger owners to put such
Improvements on the property as will
provide water in abundance. What these
appliances will be we are unable TO state,
but the expenditure of couple hundred
thousand dollars is not an improbable
necessity to insure q How of water suf-
ficient to irrigate all the lands lying
under the ditch in Gray and Ford coun-
ties.
A lack of financial aid has hindered
the Improvement of the canal in the few
years past. It may be said that the
proper means have never been used IN
securing permanent ana 6umcibuI low
OF water for irrigation purposes. What
ever design the new company may adopt
in securing flow of water, the expense
will not enter into it. The whole matter
will have careful business and practi-
cal mechanical consideration without
useless expenditure.
The history of the Eureka canal is
familiar hsreabOu 1t is known that
the canal was bonded for 81 000, 900, hav-
ing cost not more than $30O,OU0 While
much had been done to secure constant
flow of water. the methods proved fruit
less Seemingly much had been done to
put the canal into useful shape, but much
was lacking in the way of appropriate
expenditure and available and useful
method Speculation had much to do
in the earlier years Of the canal The
originator had in view the main chance.
He paid a broker $25O,0OO to secure the
$1.0UO,0O0 which he obtained by mort
gage These ignorant owners were called
on frequently for funds to keep the canal
in practical operation, until patience and
funds became exhausted from repeated
failures, through wise and unwise efforts
TO obtain water, either in re building the
dam across the river or from experiments
in obtaining a sufficient quantity OF water
from the Gnderfow.
The interest in irrigation and the prob
able revenue to be derived from a sue
cessful operation of the canal will be an
inducement for the English syndicate to
put the property on paying basis.
Imagine the benefit that will accrue to
land owners along the ninety five miles
length of the canal through the means of
an abundant water supply Gray and
Ford counties may rejoice when the
Eureka canal furnishes sufficient water
to irrigate all available lands along it's
line.

AT THE THEATERS.
3'Squabbles" Tonight by a Good Little
Company at the Grand


Company at the Grand.
The Hennesy Leroyle company that
played at the Grand last night is a small
one, but it is clever and pleased its audi
ence. 1t rained and the attendance was
a light one.
The entertainment began with a cur
tain raiser called "Drifted Apart in
which Lottie Wade and Freeman Howse
endeavored to s'call forth best feelings
in nature Ii was cleverly con
structed and cleverly done. but it was
not what an audience that paid a dollar
mental dialogue and didn't catch well.
The piece by Wits Outwitted' was
good. The scene is IN Spain and the
story hinges on the finally successful
efforts Of poor but shrewd clerk TO marry
his rich employers daugh liter in spite of
the fact that she IS already promised to a
rich bOor OF an old slave dealer. The
comedy of the play depends on ccmpell-
ing the father to become the originator
and executor Of the plot to defraud him
self Of his own daughter and his own
money.
Hennesy Leroyle as the father is de-
cidedly clever and in the third act when
he discovers how be has been duped his
rage. disgust, despair and finally
resignation to the Inevitable are
uproariously funny. W. ]. Jossey, the
poor nephew. il perfectly clean and
~
with him from the start. Bernice Howard
is a pleasant little body ia Ferdnanda
the daughter, and did her work well.
Lottie " ade. as the viragO Of . wife, did
as well as perhaps anyone could with a
very poor part. Percy Mackids storm
ing as the old slave trader was tiresome.
The same company will give SQUAD

was the piece last night, it will be worth
seeing. This is not the company that
had trouble with its manager. 1t will
play all dates as formerly advertised

carry about 100 of the leading physicians

about one week, the object of the road
being to prove to the medical profession
the excellent properties which it is
clalmed the springs possess.
