After the Russian Thistle.

The senate committee on roads and
bridges, of which Senator Smith of
the 40th district, is chairman, is striv-
ing hard to formulate for recommend
alton, an effective bill to prevent the
spread of the Russian thistle and Sc
cure it's destruction. The secretary
Of the state board of agriculture was
with the committee for a couple of
hours recently, and is very anxious
that some scheme shall be devised
for prompt and effective warfare on
this dreaded enemy Of good farming
which Is rapidly invading Kansas
from both the north and west South
Dakota has a. very good law ON this
subject, which puts the work OF de-
stroying Russian and Canada thistles
and Cocklebur growing on public
highways and adjacent unoccupied
lands under the supervision of the
road overseers, and provides for tax
on such lands sufficient to pay for the
work. 1t is probable Kansas will
have like law, based largely on the
Dakota idea. South Dakota was the
original startinR-point for this Rus
sian nuisance IN the United States
and knows its terrors thoroughly.
Mr. Andrews, of Phillips, has intro
duced a bill in the house, giving the
board Of county commissioners in
each county the authority to deslg-
nate each year how the Russian thistle
shall be destroyed. II anyone neg
lects the order for ten days the weed
shall be destroyed by the road over
seer and costs taxed against heprop-
ertp.

SUGGESTIVE APPHRIsMs.

BY s, Goblet.
Not happiness, but righteousness, is
the true goal Of life.
Happiness is but the varying me-
dunn thro' which man is led to right
eousness.
Faith without reason swaggers like
a kite without tail.
Reason without faith sinks as the
tail loosed from the kite.
We must have beauty in our own
soul before we can see it in others.
1t is not punishment, but his de-
serving it that disgraces q man.
There is often painful waiting be-
tween teaching and its fnll results; 80
there is between the acorn and the
grown oak.
1t is not the amount Of inspiration
that we put in the Bible; but the
amount Of inspiration that we get out
of 1t that builds our Christian faith.
To enjoy life is happy art; to
make others enjoy theirs is a greater
one.

SHORT AND LONG PRAYERS.

J., Bible Reader: A good many silly
things are being said In favor OF short
prayers. That man may pray too
long IN public is TOO evident to admit
of debate, but have yet to see the
man who needed to be warned against
the danger Of spending too much
time in bis closet The truth is, moth
ing gives more comfort to the average
congregation than to be told that they
are not to be heard for their much
speaking.

IN THE IMAGE OF CHRIST.

Christian Inquirer: The assur-
ance is given Chrst's followers that
when He shall appear they shall be
like Him, for they shall see Him as
He Is. No one in this world can look
long on Jesus without gaining like
ness to Him. Without holiness we
are taught none shall see the Lord.
None can enjoy His presence who are
not following holiness, and none can
have that presence without advancing
in holiness.

Two school Decisions.

State Superintendent e. Stanley
has made two decisions IN regard TO
points raised by county superintend-
ents this week. The first and most
complicated case was from Medicine
Lodge, where the superintendent Of
Barber county had appointed a man
to take the place Of the regularly
elected district clerk
The clerk was absent from the dis
trict a good portion Of the time on ac-
count Of other business. but he main
tanned his residence in the township,
and voted there. He had appointed
one Of his neighbors to look after the
business OF his Office while be was not
at home. The treasurer Of the school
fund refused to pay the orders drawn
upon the fund bv the person who
had not been elected. The county
superintendent did not regard the
transactions as legal and proper end
he appointed a man to take the place
Of the clerk. The question Mr.. Stan
Icy was called upon to settle was
whether or not the county superin-
tendent had such right to make APP
pointment in the manner that he did
and the ruling made by Mr.. Stanley
is that the superintendent has no
power to make such appointment and
that the clerk now holding the posi-
tion can retain the Office until the OK
piration OF the term, or until he re-
moves from the district. Neither has
the clerk any legal right to name any
one to act for him, and that the only
method to secure the services Of the
clerk is for the directors to begin
mandamus proceedings against him
and compel him to discharge the du-
ties Of the Office or resign.
The county superintendent of Cof-
fey count L Mitchell, asked the
state superintendent il it is the duty
Of the district clerk to attend to the
posting OF notices indicating some le-
gal action by the superintendent or
the directors Of any district The
origin of the case was in Cofey coun-
ty. A change was made in the DIS
trict boundaries without the legal
notices having been posted. The
county superintendent believed that
the duty Of posting the notices be-
longed TO the clerk and he did not at
tend to 1t. The statesuperintendenk
inyestigasedthe statutes and decided
that the change WAS illegal because
of the fact that the Legal notices bad
not been posted % n qnirNd by law

A TIME FOR WORSHIP.

Christian Instructor: People go
to church to be entertained. to be
pleased. The idea Of going to church
to be instructed, to be admonished
aud to be brought to sincere repent
ance for sin seems not to be enter
tanned for a moment by the thought
less multitude. They seem to think
the house OF God was made for their
carnal comfort and mental enjoyment,
not for holy service. There is a
time to laugh but it is not during the
divine service. There is a time for
intellectual entertainment, but it Is
not while we sit before God for wor-
ship.

The New York Tribune announces
that New Jersey has successfully
pointed the way in the matter OF road
bettermeut, and the work is to be
carried much further Immediately.
Hudson and Bergen Counties have
done considerable. Union County
has done more. Camden and Burling-
ten have shown a like commenda5le
spirit. Now Morris County is giving
an earnest of its purpose to keep up
other progressive counties. About
100 miles of road in that county are
to be impr roved this season. and it Is
estimated that 1000 men will be kept
ut work for several months. Not only
are these roads to be macadamized,
but the grades are to be improved, n
four per cent. grade (that is, rise oil
not more than four sect in 100 feat)
having been adopted. Much heavier
loads can thus be carried by the
farmers and all others engaged in
transportation, while for pleasure
driving and bicycling Morris Couaty
bids fair to become paradise. The
entire work is under competent ell.
gineering direction. Morris County

To the thoughtful stranger within

Gated by the cabin lists of the great
steamship companies, amounts almost
to depopulation of certain quarters
of our city. He IS tempted to figure
little on the subject. Over 1900
persons leave this city for foreign
shores every week, and each goes
with, say, $1,000 to spend in having
q good time. He thinks. this estimate
is within bounds. If SO, the steam
ship companies and Europe get out Of
us every week s3,oOO,oOO. There is
one thing certain. If you are worry
ing about poverty and hard times just

lines and look ut the crowds going
abroad. You will forget then that
there was ever thought Of distress or
depression. There is story going
around that man may so to Europe,

puff and tight-itting forearm offers
very pretty opportunities for novel
effects. A velvet puff has tight gul-

elbow in long points which flare over

have the forearm tight-ftting, of

seam with five small bows. Then
comes the puff, above which the yoke
of the dress is cut down over the
shoulder in long vandykes, the end
of each point hanging over the sleeve
and being finished with bow. the
same size as those in the sleeve. What
is called the ''manche Mercedes is

A Cows Queer TaSlc.

that Is fond OF drinking oil, and at
every opportunity the gentle creature
bies herself to one OF the numerous OIL
wells in the vicinity OF the Hook farm,
in the Gould oil district, and drinks
the greasy liquid as it flows from the
pines into the tank. The discovery
was made by the dark color OF the
cows milk and it's oily taste. but 1t
was several days before the cause was
ascertained. Yesterday morning Mr.:
Hook followed the COW as she went oil
for her daily drink OF oil, and watched
her as she drank nearly gallon OF tue
raw fluid as it was pumped out OF the
earth. The cow has been tied up IN
the pasture field until broken OF her

Uncle Sam Takes Hold of the Prob

pIains'' to Be Re-
claimed.
T NCLE SAM is about to take

7 NCLE SAM is about to take q
practical hand IN solving the
] great problem III this coun-
try Of farming by irrigation.
He has organized National board OF
irrigation experts in Washington,
whose duty it will be to study the best
methods OF promoting irrigation and
of developing our agricultural re-
sources wherever farming is now de-
pressed, and to give to the people
from time to time the results of these
studies in en- available form, with ad-
vice, suggestion and instruction, as
circumstances warrant. This board
consists of i've scientific experts from
the Department OF Agriculture and
five from the Department of the In
terror.
Uncle Sam has heretofore manifest
ed in various ways his lively interest
in irrigation, and it behooves him to
do so still, iuasmuch as nearly all the
desirable land in our public domain is
already occupied and pre-empted by
settlers, and the only means left OF
adding to it is by irrigation and by
conquest. Conquest is oat OF the
question, under present circumstances,
and hence to irrigation alone must he
look as the sole agency for enlarglne
our habitable territory and providing
homes for prospective settlers. But
this agency, it is confidently believed
by competent authorities, will be fully
equal to the emergency. The tre-
mendous benefits OF irrigation are
readily seen when it is stated that in
The single State of California 6, 600, 900
acres, in Colorado over 5, 900, 900, and
in Wyoming 1000, 900 acres OF land
have been reclaimed in the past few
wears from condition of utter un-
productiveness and worthlessness to @
condition of blossoming richness. The
soil of those regions was, not long
ago.. wholly arid, but with intelligent
irrigation it has sprung into teemlng
vegetable life, and the sole vivifying
agency in the transformation has
been water, simply water.
From present indications it wonld
seem that irrigation is to become the
saving watchword aud rallying-cry,
not only in the far West, but in the
East and South rs well. 70 stimulate
interest in irrigation farming in the
far West particularly, and elsewhere
