Struck Artes1an Water.

On Saturday last while Ben Wood
with his crew were boring well on the
ranch of G. H. Kellogg, about fourteen
miles northwest of this city, they struck
artesian water at the depth of 1870 feet.
The size of the whole at the bottom is
inches while nearer the surface it is
larger. A test of the quantity of water
now running out of the top of the pipe
which is simply sheet iron casing and
leaks at all joints, is about 1000 barrels
every "a hours or about 40 barrels every
oath hour. BY putting in tight piping
it is expected to greatly increase this
flow. An examination of the water
shows it to be cold and clear and that it
contains about 5 per cent of salt. In
boring the well nearly the entire depth
of it was through what is known as Da-
kota sand stone, between the layers of
which, was an occasional strata of blue
clay or shale.
The well is located near Mr.. Kellogg's
house and about one-fourth mile from
the river. The water is flooding the
ground about his premises which are
located in a low fat place and though he
had several men at work ditching. the
water was about eight inches deep in
his chicken house, hog lot and corral.
is Mr.. Kellogg's intention to build a
large reservoir in which to store the
water for irrigating purposes. If it
shows to contain too great per cent of
salt it will be reduced by collecting the
storm waters and running them into the
same reservoir,
The salt springs which are located less
than a mile from this well contain 20
per cent of salt and of course their
water will kill all kinds of vegetation

How Will We Irrigate P

To the Editor of the WORLD:
The most practical solution of irriga-
ton for western Kansas, is the reten-
ton of the storm water.
The cheapest way to retain the storm
water, is by constructing reservoirs with
prison labor. The labor of our state
prison except what is employed in min
ing is let to contractors at from IA to ID
cents per day, while the state is at the
expense of boarding and guarding.
We have asked government aid in ir-
rigating conventions, but the people of
the eastern states are not anxious to
assist the development of the west by
government assistance nor are the peo-
pie of eastern Kansas in favor of appro-
priating money for irrigating western
Kansas.
And when the legislators of western
Kansas meet this winter they will find
the appropriation, which they get, will
be very meager, not one-fourth of what
they were asking for nor one-half what
they needed.
The only way we can solve the ques-
ton is for the counties which will be
benefited to have bill introduced al
lowing the western counties to employ
convicts in the construction of reser-
voirs upon all streams which cross the
county. The dams should be erected to
within one and one-half feet OF the level
OF the second bottom, and should be
constructed at or near each township
line-thus making them about six miles
apart. The people would attend to get
ting the water out themselves.
To those of us who saw the large
quantities of water flowing past the last
season it seemed almost warming that
our crops and gardens would be suffer
ing from drouth before the roar of the
flood had hardly ceased to echo.
The retention of the storm water will
also solve the question OF the underfow
and bring it nearer the surface and hold
a more uniform supply.
Unless we continue to alternate be-
tween feasting and famine, between
phenomenal large crops and absolute
failure, we must either irrigate or emf
CRATE, and if we irrigate we must do it
ourselves. w. f. KING.

A CARD.

WA-KEENEY, KAN, Sept. "a, 1894.
To the Populist Central Committee of
Trego County, Kansas.
Gentlemen: From numerous state
ments made to me by parties who were
delegates to the late populist convention
and from conversation with the popu-
list central committee at their meeting
last Saturday, l am now satisfied that
there was no intention on the part of the
Populist convention to exact pledges
from me. With your. consent 1 with
draw the refusal to allow my name to go
on the populist ticket as candidate for
county attorney and accept the nomina-
ton with thanks for the courtesies ex-
tended. Respectfully,
JOHN A NELSON.

That Endorsement of Pitcher.

DR.. Pitchers treatment of some of the
unfortunate boys placed under his care
at the asylum for the imbicile at Win
field is attracting good deal of atten-
ton and the populist press is quoting
quite generally from recent article
published in the Kansas Medical Jour
nal. 1t says in part: THE mention of
the knife and dissectin- table makes
the average mortal shudder. The mind
associates with them blood, gaping
wounds, mutilated bodies and hades.
What are the facts? The knife and the
dissecting table have done more to re
lieve human suffering than all other
human agencies combined" Yes, and
the guillotine and hangman's rope have
relieved good many people of long SUI
fering too. Pitchers theories are SINH
lar to the barbaric notion of Lycurgus of
Sparta who thought to make race of
mighty men of valor by exposing all
feeble children to the elements and let
ting them die of starvation and cold.
The theory is beautiful one but there
is neither humanity nor christianity in
it.
However nauseating and loathsome
the practices for which these boys were
mutilated by the great reformer Pitcher,
let it be remembered that the state pro-
vides charitable and reformatory insti-
buttons for the purpose of reformation
and not mutilation. The cheapest and
quickest way to dispose of every crimi-
nal, idiot, imbecile, insane, cripple or
otherwise unfortunate human being
would be to shoot him dead on the spot,
but such procedure would be neither
human, nor tolerated by christian civ
ilization. Society is protected, not alone
by dire punishments of the guilty or un
fortunate, but by efforts to seek and re-
deem those who are depraved as we'll.
For this our state expends nearly 40 per
cent of its taxes on the penal and re-
formatory institutions, such as Pitcher,
Chase, McCasey and others are employ
ed to oversee. John Howard suggested
a reformation of the English penal sys-
tenn by substituting humanity for cruel
ty and all the civilized world blesses the
name of John Howard to-day. Perhaps
it was Horace Mann who once said that
a hundred thousand dollars spent on a
boys reformatory would be well spent if
only one boy should be reformed A
friend asked him if he did not put that
pretty strong and Mr.. Mann replied,
mot if the boy were my son." 1t is
not expected that every boy or girl sent
to Winfield will be reformed or restored
to their mentality perhaps, but the cruel
mutilations of DR.. Pitcher are without
precedent in any well managed institu-
ton of similar character, they are cruel
and revolving in the extreme and no
parent can feel at ease while his unfor-
tunate son or daughter is under the SUI
pervision of such cruel, inhuman mon
ster as Pitcher has shown himself to be.

A Former Well Known Resident
of Wa-Keeney- Sleeps.

Her many intimate and admirine
friends in Wa-Keeney and vicinity will
learn with deep sorrow of the death OF
Mrs. Mary Fletcher Beavers, on the 9th
inst.
Her husband, G. A. Beavers, and
daughter, Myrtle, the only surviving
members OF her family, were at her bed
side at the last moment, as they had
also been in constant, tender ministra-
tions, during her long suffering.
The kindly watehings and tender sym
pathies of her many friends and neigh,
bors during her illness were beautifully
illustrative of the sentiments of one Of
her favorite hymns, ''Blest Be the Tie
That Binds, Our Hearts in Christian
Love"
The resources of both head and heart
were bestowed to the full for her healing
and restoration to health, but no arm
could stay the dread destroyer. She
yielded up her earth life in the calm res
ignation and confidence of those only
who walk by faith and die in hope Of
eternal life. Her Wa-Keeney friends
she remembered with an especial dying
message in these words, which she en-.
trusted to her sorrying husband, viz
"Tell them my course is about run
That am ready and prepared to go tc
meet my dear Saviour and that 1 viii
meet them all on the other shore"
She had been very i'll for many
months prior to June last. At that
time, however, she received relief, and
so far recovered, that on the Fourth Of
July, she was encouraged to deliver q
patriotic address. On the evening after
the delivery of her address she again
became suddenly and seriouslyill. Since
which time till few days before hel
death she suffered intense agony Of
pain. There was then brief season Of
freedom from pain, during which time
she calmly and tenderly delivered hel
parting messages to friends and family
and sweetly fell asleep.
Mrs. Beavers was gifted woman
Gifted in that rare and divine equipoise
of greatness of mind and goodness Of
heart.
1.-THE works that do live after them"
She was graduate of Hillsboro Fe.
male college, Hillsboro, Ohio. Was
matron of the regimental hospital of the
Goth Ohio regiment in the field in West
Virginia In 1852. She was an able anc
eloquent public speaker and through
the years of busy life she exercised this
gift in the advocacy of temperance anC
prohibition and in the proclamation O
the gospel.
She was an active member of the W
R. G. and an especial favorite of the q

husband and daughter.
