Working died Of consumption after q
long illness. Death came peacefully
and was but falling asleep, pass
ing into the world beyond. Mr..
Working was born in Center county,
Pennsylvania, 81 years ago. About
20 years ago he came to this county

Lutheran church. Four children,
Frank, William, Jesse and Carrie,
and a wife mourn the decease OF
father and husband, while many
friends sorrow for one whose life
motto was to do only good to those
around him and cause sadness to
none.
Funeral services were held at 5 D.
m. today at the house, Rev. L. E..
Tarbill officiating and the G. A. R.
post attending in body. Intcrment

OUT FOR REPUBLICANIsM.
The Herington Signal Hosts thu
Straight Republican Ticket.

The disintegration Of the Populist
party continues with refreshing regu-
larity. The latest and most import
ant desertion from its strength is the
Herington Signal, one Of the county's
brightest newspapers. The Signal
has been a tower Of strength for Pop
ulism in southeast Dickinson since its
organization. Recently it came under
the management of Tom Gallagher
but no change was made in its poll
tics. The scandals and boodling Of
the Pop administration was too much
for him, however, and this week it
contains the following:
When the present managers took
charge Of the Signal it was the inten-
ton to conduct it on strictly local lines.
This course is all well enough when
there are no other than purely local
issues to discuss, but, when questions
of infinitely greater moment, such as
those which now appeal to the great
grand jury Of the American citizen
ship, for discussion and solution, we
find that the vendor Of strictly local
hash isn't in it. But tits the position
Of the small boy at a party-nothing
to say. Hence we have concluded
that the Signal and its captains
should "get together" The union
has been communicative are to-
gether, our colors have been un-
furled, and from today until the
enemies of Republicanism are routed
from every county in Kansas the Sig
nal will be found with its colors flying
in the ranks Of the grand old Republic
can party.

IRRIGATION BY THING.
Investigation Is Unfavorable to Prac
tical Results Therein.

To the Editor Of the Reflector,
As a result Of investigation on the
subject Of irrigation by tiling, sub
nit the following summary Of views
and data, uniavorable to the tile sys-
TEN and somewhat disappointing to
an enthusiast But as these opinions
are based upon few experiments we
are unwilling to accept them as final,
and shall await with much interest
the result of experiments now in
progress at the stations in Finney
and Rawlins counties,
At the experimental station in Utah
in 1892 with pipes laid u feet apart
and one foot deep Prof. Sanborn
demonstrated that the lateral move
ment Of water at right angles to the
receiving pipe was AT the rate of five
feet in about 10 hours and concludes
that the lateral movement is too slow
to supply plant evaporation requiring
from l,0J0,010 to 2,OO0,0 600 pounds Of
water per acre during the growing
season. The editor Of the Irrigation
Age replies "rhc most enlightened
experiments in California and Utah
are unfayorable to this system. 1t Is
used with some success in market
gardens in the East, and in the same
way in the suburbs Of Paris; in these
instances, however the nature Of the
business was such as TO justify q very
large expense.
Director Chas. D. Walcott, OF the
U. S. geological survey, answers; mo
government publication has been
issued bearing on this subject. From
current literature ! judge that this
method Is impracticablc. The diff
Guilty appears to be in many soils the
water does moi penetrate latera.ly
with sufficient ease tosupply the want
Of plants; and after two or three
years the passage Of water appears to
choke up the channels as in the cast
of liltering apparatus.
"Another difficulty is the small
roots Of the plants lind their way into
the joints and openings Of the pipes,
stopping them up completely.
"Great interest Is felt in thesnceess
OF your farmers in utilizing the water
supply and beg to express the wish
that you will favor ne with any facts
you may have on the attempt made IN
your locality.'
From ex-secrctary Mohler we learn
that the Ohio experimental station
was very successful in sub.irrigatloni
at the Utah station It was failure,
the difference being IN the soil.
From the above expert data we de-
duce the conclusion that sub-irriga-
ton is impracticable for ordinary
farm crops and only advisable in

GRANDDAUGHTER NAMED.
DEMOCRATS GO TO MARSHALL
FOR A NOMINEE.
Tho Convention at Concordia Is Well
Attended by the Stalwarts-Joe
Lowe Makes a Rafting Speech
Scoring the Populists Severely.

Special to the Reflector.
C0NCoRDIA, Aug. 1.-THE Fifth
district Democratic convention met
here today in regular session. There
has been good deal Of speculation as
to what would be done at the gather
ing and there has been a strong and
increasing sentiment in opposition to
any endorsement, direct or otherwise,
of John Davis and Populism. The
Democrats of the district have not
forgotten Mr.. Cookies sell-out to the
Populists in 1892 and many have in
sisted on this years campaign being
conducted on different lines. Both
sides were well represented in today's
convention. Dickinson's delegation
was to the front among the iusionists
while the northeast part Of the dis
trict had stauncher material.
The convention organized by elect
ing DIR. T. N. Gum, Of Chapman,
chairman and J. NJ. McFarlan, Of
CLYDE, secretary.
1t was evident that the fusion
lists, however, were not in 1t and al
though they were given the chairman
ship, it was merely as a sop to their
feelings.
But one name was before the con-
vention, that Of c. M. Branden berger
Of Marshall county, and he received
the unanimous nomination for con-
gresham.
Joe Lowe, Of Washington county,
was present and made an enthusiasts
tic address in which he everlastingly
scored the Populists for their way Of
running things since they came into
existence. He skinned the State adj
ministration individually and collect
lively and hung the hides on the fence
to dry.
There was much indignation ex-
pressed among the Stalwarts at the
action Of Dickinson's Democrats last
week in selling out to the Pops.
Mr.. Brandenberger is a staunch
Democrat and is made of different
stuff from the nominee Of two years
ago.
The resolutions endorsed the Ma
tional and State platforms and the

Funny, isn't it. how our Republican
friends have ceased to point out the
beauties OF that tariff Of 25 cents a
bushel on wheat that Mckinley gra-
ciously tackled on his bill for the benefit
of the farmer. How the rural toiler
must gloat over the goodness of the e.
o. p. in so kindly looking after his in
terests, as he reads that section Of the
bill, and then sees the quotations on
wheat in his weekly paper. He must
realize by this time that tariff on
wheat, eggs, ETC., is about as useful as
the second caudal appendage on the
