SHORT ON WATER.

From newspaper reports and the
published observations Of old residents,
it is very evident that Kansas and Ok
lahOma rivers, creeks and springs were
never before, since the earlist settle
ments, so destitute of water. The
great cave springs of Butler county,
near Ell Dorado, whose steady flow
have varied little in thirty-One years
hive almost ceased. There are streams
in Oklahoma and in Southern Kansas
which were never known to fail that
are dry now. This is true also OF
streams and springs in the central por-
ton of the state, and the common COM
plant is lack Of water. The walnut
river has ceased to run, as also has
the Neosho west from EmpOria. The
Little Arkansas, which it is said varies
the least in its volume from year to
year of any stream in the state, a
stream that has always held its own
without reference to the season or the
year, for months has been little more
than half itself. The Great Arkansas
is practically nothing as are many other
streams. All these prove that the short
age of rainfall for the past two or
three years is telling not only on the
springs and streams, but that the sub
soil must be dry to an unusual depth.
And still, as yet, there has not been
a single general rain over the west this
season. The down-pours and floods,
read of, were local and circumscribed
and the winter wheat and Oat crops of
the west, in the aggregate will be from
short to failure"

KANSAS MONUMENTS.

Kansas boasts few public monu-
ments. The one at OSawatOmle erect
ed to the memory of John Brown, and
the two unveiled on Decoration. Day
comprise the list, we believe. or these
last two named one is at Topeka. 1t
was erected by G. G. Gage, Esq, to
the memory of a number Of Shawnee
county boys, who fell at the battle OF
Little Blue, a few miles southeast OF
Kansas City, in an engagement with a
force under "O1d Pap Price" a rebel
major general who with Generals Shell
by and Magruder and their brigades
were seeking to invade Kansas ana
sack her towns The rebel plan was to
destroy Fort Leavenworth and city
and then sweep the state by detach-
ments, rendeZyouing at or near Fort
Scott A very large per cent OF all the
able bodied men of the state were aD-
sent in the field. There was no Kan
sas then, to speak of, west of Emporla
and Salina. Major General Curtis,
with headquarters at Fort Leayen-
worth. declared the state under martial
law and ordered her remaining able
bodied men, as state militia, to march
to Missouri to meet and repel the regu-
lars of the rebel forces, or to other
wise check their advance until rein
forcements could be secured. Nine
out Of every ten men left in the state.
responded to the order. In one county
only five men were left, two Of them
cripples and the other three, too old to
march.
That campaign, Kansas like, was
fuller Of politics than it was of fight,
and but for the timely appearance of
General Pleasanton would have proven
the tragedy of the war; and would
have as distinctly marked Kansas as
the bloody victim of the end of as she
was its primary cause of its beginning.
The one dark side of that march to Mis-
souri, was the slaughter Of the Shawnee
county boys on the Little Blue. q. u.
Gage, who designed and paid for the
fine monument, which was unveiled at
Topeka on Thursday, was a private
and a member of the command which
went out from Topeka. He came to
Kansas in the spring of 80, as poor
boy. He has long been rich. From
now On he will be honored.
The other Kansas monument, was
the one dedicated at Lawrence on
Thursday to the memory Of the vic
tins Of the Quantrell massacre, which
is put down by not few historians
as the most bloody and unrelentlessly
cruel Slaughter ever committed by
white men upon members of their own
race and blood. But Kansas is COM
paratively, as yet new state, young
