OsKosH, Wis, Jan. 30.-One Of the
most extraordinary cases which ever
came to the notice Of the medical fra
Iernity Of this city IS that Of the two
year old child Of Edward Marble, q
machinists residing on Fulton street
The child has been suffering for some
time with what the attending physi-
clan thought to be an affection Of the
liver o. stomach Its abdomen was
swollen to an enormous size, and yes
terday burst, leaving large orifee
leading into the stomach. This still
remains open, and the Interior Of the
stomach Is exposed, as well As the
food which the child swallows, so that
the process Of digestion can be seen.
There IS, Of course, no hope Of recOy-
cry. The doctors say that there Is
but one well authenticated similar
case on record that Of Alexander St
Martins, a Canadian trapper, who re-
ceiyed gunshot wound in the side,
which healed leaving an opening IN
the stomach

Springs for Irrigation.

Our district attorney Judge Hays,
during the past season has opened up
springs owned BY him about two miles
below 0paline, on the west side Of the
Snake river, which gives him a supply
Of from 12O to $50 miners inches Of
water at a about blood heat. Sufficient
to irrlgate 25O acres, without the use
of reservoirs, and by the construction
of reservoirs would serve at least four
times as much land The present mar
ket value of this land is $1,000. We
understand that before excavations
were made no appreciable quantity of
water reached the surface from these
springs, and we are quite sure that
further development will largely IN
crease their flow.
It is quite certain that this is not
the only point at which supplies Of
underground water can be obtained
which can at small expense compared
with the value Of water obtained, be
brought to the surface and utilized.
This method of obtaining water for
irrigation has been practiced from
time lmmemorial on a large scale, par
ticularly in northern Italy, where in a
territory not exceeding an hundred
miles square, waters from springs are
brought to the surface and utilized for
irrigation amounting to 1900 cubic
feet per second, 100000 miners inch
es, or about twice the flow of Boise
river at low water.
There are many tracts Of land, some
larger, some smaller, in the state lying
along the foot hills above the line Of
any canal now constructed, with rich
soil protected by the surrounding
mountains from every storm, which
will eventually be reclaimed by the
use Of these now neglected under
ground supplies Of water.
These supplies when formed would
be absolutely the property Of the par
ty owning the land who opened them
mp. Baird Smith in his work on Italian
irrigation. says: SIN seeking for the
springs, there are a number of natu-
raj signs which are followed as guides. |
The fountain seeker has hrs signs |
When in spring time the yerdue Of a
meadow is Of deeper green than the |
general mass, or the soil of a field has
q damper appearance than the rest,
there it is desirable to try for water
When IN summer the gnats are seen
lowering in masses over a particular
spot and resting very close to the
soil, be suspects that watery vapor is
ascending from below, and that
spring must be near the surface. At
all seasons of the year light yapors
frequently rest over hidden springs
night and morning. This search, this
development, requires no investment
in expensive tools, no payment Of
heavy fees to professional experts.
The only equipment required is a pick
pnd shovel and willingness to work.

as seeking a denomination for that
office. 1t is remarkable how some men
who get their nose into the public office

Wheat Fed Pork.

The Troy, New York, Times says;
"The discovery has been made in Ore
gon that wheat fed pork brings lOc per
100 more than cern-fed. The product
of wheat feeding is what is called
breakfast bacon, or thin, lean side
meat, which cannot be obtained from
the corn-fed hog, because it is too fat
Anybody who finds 1t impossible to
buy any but soft, fat, greasy pork in
his home market is likely to insist that
the difference of 10 cents per 100 is not
enough; indeed, he would gladly pay
another cent per pound, especially if
he has children, as they almost invar-
iably reject the fat. With wheat down
to the price of corn, and the discovery
that wheat-fed pork is more wholesome
and agreeable than that which is fat
tened on corn, pumpkins, apples, skim
milk and still.slops, it is possible that
that new era in pork-raising will
eventually be inaugurated,n

Only a Joke.

Salem Statesman, Oct. 18th. The
city of Dallas was thrown into little
excitement last evening by the escape
Of Fred Brown from the county jail at
that place, and the latter proved to be
only joke on Sheriff H. B. Plummer
Some time ago Brown effected his
escape from the jail and eluded the
officers until he reached Lane county,
where he was discovered near Eugene
and captured. Sheriff Plummer went
after Brown and returned him to his
quarters in the Jail. After getting
Brown safely under lock and key, the
sheriff made the remark that he
would give him 500 if he could get
out again." Yesterday Brown had
some callers, and in the course of their
conversation one of them offered
Brown $3.50 to pick the lock in their
presence. This he did successfully by
means Of attn key he had made. The
sheriff then concluded that it was time
to put new lock on the door, and
Immediately proceeded to hardware
store and purchased one. 1t was
While he was attending to this matter
that Brown picked the lock for the
third time and to all appearances mys-
teriously disappeared. The news OF
his escape spread like wild-fire, and
while deputies were being sent in all
directions to search for Brown, and
the whole town talking about him, he
quietly walked Into the sherift's office
and delivered himself up, saying that
he did it 'just for joke on the sher-

A NEW STEEL JAIL.
The Contract Let to the Albany Iron
Works for $4,000.

An adjourned session of the county
court was held yesterday to consider
the bids for remodeling the county
Jail and putting in new steel cells.
Bids of six different firms were opened
and considered at the last regular term
and the matter was taken under advise
meut until yesterday, when final
action was taken and the contract was
let to the Albany iron Works. Their
plan is for six cells and corridor, all of
fire ply tempered fiat for steel, and
includes solid cement floor, the
building of a brick wall and putting in
one more window, also putting the
sanitary condition of the Jail in first
class order and furnishing the interior
ina proper manner.
The various bids for similar work
were as follows:
Albany Iron Works. ga, 900
Gillett & Herzog Mfg. Co......... $3.50
Pauley Jail Co....................... 4,OSO
DleDold ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4, 1876
Wesler, Bohman & Co.. 4.3OO
Conkling Iron Co. Co................... 5000
The bid of the Albany Iron Works
includes some repairs to the Jail which
the Others did not. 1t embraces the
entire work of remodeling the Jail
and putting in the new work. The
bids were for several different kinds of
work and were accompanied by differ
ent plans, for which there was a wide
range of figures, but for similar work
the bids were as given in the foregoing
list.
1t is gratifying to know that the
contract was secured by the home firm,
by means of which the money will be
expended in giving employment to
deservinfi men at home, and it is safe
to say that the Albany Iron Works
will do as good a job as any of the
Others could do.-Herald.
