Every one is familiar with the story
of Moses and the brazen serpent, of the

died when relief was so easily obtained.

Review Of Reviews.

This excellent magazine has its
usual number of good things in the
August number. Among the best is an
article on tbs labor troubles, with hints
of new remedies, by the Hon. w. p.
Reenes, minister of labor, New Zea-
land.
The article shows depth of research
and reasoning that few men give to
the labor question to-day, all-impOrtant
as it is. Mr.. Reenes convinces his
readers that while strikes are legitinl-
ate, might makes right where things
adjust themselves and that nine times
out of ten strikes fail in accomplishing

A NEW PUMP,

Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton" is an old saying. SO the recent
dry seasons in this part of the country
have tended to stimulate the fertile
brain of the inventor in devising ways
10 raise to the surface where it will do
unlimited good the vast amount of
water that is known to be resivOired
but few fee. beneath our feet.
There is one thing each succeeding
year has never failed to provide us
with, and that Is wind. With this
great Natural power at hand attention
has naturally been drawn towards
windmills and pumps as the only prac-
ticable way to conduct successful Irri-
cation on the limited means OF the
Individual tiller of the soil.
The latest thing we have seen IN
the way of Il pump is made by NJ.
SchOu, of this city. to attach to his
''Irri2atOr" windmill. 1t is made on
the theory of the old cucumber pumps.
with the exceptions that it is square,
is made entirely of wood and is larger.
He placed one for DIR. Mosher last
week and another for Max Boettcher
this week. DR.. Mosher's has an eight
inch cylinder with siX-inch Stroke
and throws 3S4 cubic inches. or *
gallons of water per stroke. Max
Boettcher's pump has six-inch cylin-
der with six-inch stroke, and throws
ZIG cubic inches. or sixteen cubic
inches short of one gallon of water
per stroke. Taking into consideration
the amount of water drawn, its sim
plicity. durability, and above all its
cheapness, this is the best pump for
this country we have yet seen. The
two pumps above referred to are now
In successful operation and can be seen
by anyone wishing to do so and caring
to take the trouble.
1t is a fact without the pale of con-
tradiction that the coming successful
tilier of the soil in this part of the
country will be he who cultivates but
a few acres and does it we'll in con-
junction with thorough irrigation. We
have the mildest. healthieSt climate
and best soil on face of the earth. All
we lack is water. That we have IN un-
limited quantities beneath our feet,
and the only feasible way to get it is
with windmill and pump. Irrigation
is our salvation.
While it is too late now to save any
of this years crop. except late things |
such IS tomatoes, cabbage. etc, yet |
the far-seeing man who intends at |
to raise anything next year |
will put in a windmill and pump, COM |
meEce irrigating at once and Keep it |
up all winter so as to have the groudn
thoroughly saturated and in proper
condition to commence work next
pring.

THE COYOTES
AND LONG.

Enough people came out last We'd
nesday to hear the Larned Coyotes and
Offerle band to comfortably ill the
opera house. The crowd was compOsd
principally of women and children, the
male portion of it was about equally
divided between republican and pOpu-
list voters. The ladies seemed to enjoy
the music very much and the Coyote
Club was encored several times.
Senator Brown, of Garden City first
RECALLED the audience with a rehash OF
all the republican shelf worn lies about
the populist state administration that
have gone the rounds of the republican
press for the last six months, and
which nave been refuted over and over
again to the satisfaction of any fair
minded man who reads the papers and
cares to EARN the truth. The senator
modestly got in little boom for him
self, with his II said,'' and II did"
and ''When the governor called me
down to his Office" etc. He also told
IL little story or two in which he was
the hero and limited at some very dark
disclosures he could make if his lips
were not sealed, of matters and things
that came to his knowledge while in
the legislature and when he had resolv-
ed himself into executive session.
l, Chester Long followed Senator
Brown. The republican congressional
committee have revised the speech
written for him two years ago and
made some improvements in it. He
has also one more joint in his backbone
and can see man now who is not over
SIX feet high and recognizes men who
have not been introduced to him over
twenty times. He has left his 'other
clothes" at home this year and is CAM
paigning in his last years suit. The
pretty man business didn't win last
time and he has quit that pose.
He spent most of his time discussing
the tariff. The tariff has been discus
sed for tie last seventy-fve years with
out new argument having been made
for or against it. and it is not strange
that MI Long did not advance any
thing new in favor OF high protective
tariff or attempt to tell the farmers
how they are benehted by 1t.
Mr.. Long did not attempt to discuss
the measures and reforms advocated
by the peoples party, but confined
himself to personal attack OH Mr..
simpson. a fair sample OF his line OF
argument was his misqnotation of a
speech OF Mr.. Simpsons in the house
of representatives in which he made
Mr.. Simpson say that he was in favor
of putting all taxes on land alone. lie
declared himself in favor of bimetai-
ism. but was very careful not to state
anything about the ratio he was in
favor of, whether 16 to l or 40 to /.
He evidently believes with Mr.. ingalls,
that the democrats are the natural
enemies of the republicans and took
advantage Of the occasion to give them
the usual republican drubbing.

GOV.LEWELLING.

Yesterday was the greatest day that
Kinsley has seen in many years. For
it's not often that the governor of this
state has shed the light of his oOunten-
snce on this beautiful western prairie.
Very early in the morning the
crowds began gathering, until by noon
the grounds were filed with earnest
seekers after truth and good dinner,
both of which they found in abundance.
d. NJ. Brewer and b. r. MOsher,
chairman and secretary of the county
C IInmittse, took Il carriage in the fore
noon and piloted by Mr.. Robert john
son, drove the governor about the city,
landing him at the grove in time for Il
preceded and followed by good old
haLd shaking time.
About 80 Mr.. Brewer called the
meeting to order and introduced Gov
ernor Lewelling, who for an hour and
half entertained and instructed the
company.
His speech was a marked contrast to
that of the day before. The governor
addressed himself exclusively to the
condition of the people and the remed-
les that have been suggested.
The good governor referred lightly to
the personal attacks that are being
made OH him. by remarking that lie
proposed to do his best to protect tile
whole people, not individuals.
The governor made hosts of friends
during his short stay. He is very much
interested in tile subject of irrigation
| and will advocate in his next message
experiments by the state Oh this vast
question. He is certainly proud of his
state and the people he represents.
j.. J, Wright also made a short talk
showing up some of the methods and
statements of the enemy.
