Prof. NeWoll'S Ideu.

Prof. F. H. Newell of the U. S. geolog.
| ical survey, who has had charge of the
work of examining and mapping the
water sources of the arid region with
special reference to artesian wells and
irrigation, is now preparing a summary
of his work.
In regard to these wells and irrigation
he says the most interesting district lies
in eastern Colorado and western Kansas.
Here the ground slopes from the west
down to the east and there are cOntinua
faults in the strata preventing the water
from travelling for any great distance.
Where the strata are not faulted, they
are undulating and well sunk near the
center part of the undulations usually
taps water that has flowed there from
each side of the undulation. Few of
these wells flow. but they can be worked
by windmills, a motive power .hat is
seldom exhausted in that part of the
country. These wells are small and will
irrigate only few acres at the best.
MIR. Newell thinks that if the farmers
here would try so cultivate only as much
land around their homes as they could
irrigate by means of their wells, and de-
vote the remainder of their farms to
grazing, or perhaps wheat occasionally,
they would be far better off than now.

A Bright Boy Gone.

The many friends of Hon. l. E. Lam
bert, Of Emporia, in Ford county will be
panied to learn of the sad death Of his
son Boyd who died Sunday morning from
the effect Of an accidental discharge of q
revolver in his own hands.
Boyd was one Of the brightest and
most popular pages in the House last
winter, and his death will be received by
the House members with deep regrets.
Mr.. Lambert has the sympathy of our
people in his affliction, and especially of
the old soldiers at the Home in whom he
took great interest.
He was chairman of both conference
committees from the House on the bills
making appropriations for the Home and
stood firm with Mr.. Fitzgerald for
liberal appropriation for the nations de.
tenders.
His bright and promising boy possessed
those attributes of mind and heart which
endeared his father to his fellow mem-
bers, and his tragic death willscause a
tinge of sadness in many hearts outside
his own home and his intimate friends.
In the parents sad affliction we offer
the solace Of our sympathy and tears
all that humanity can give.

The Richter Farm.

Thursday morning we visited the old
Worrell farm now operated by Mr.. Rich
ter. He has a Menge pump with a
capacity of 10000 gallons of water per
hour operated by small engine. The
water is taken from an artificial lake
which has been scoOped out to the under
flow. At the time we visited the farm
there was not sufficient water to keep
the pump in constant operation but as
often as the lake is pumped out, men and
horses with scoops are put to work
dredging the bottom deeper into the
water with a constant increasing supply.
The water Is carried to the fields direct
from the pump by means of ditch, and
then by the use of burrows applied to the
growing crops, and rows of fruit trees.
Mr.. Richter has three fields Of Irish po-
tatoes, 20 acres in all that are looking
fine and one field of which contains
acres, the young potatoes are setting
on and are from the size of a shot to
small marble. His orchards are loaded
with apples, plums and cherries, and a
fair show for peaches. The recent cold
weather did not damage his fruit to any
extent. When Mr.. Richter gets his lake
he thinks he will be able to
water his large farm in a single week.

Number Nine.

DR.. A. Weigel. German gentleman
of about sixty years, came to this city on
the 9Th of May and took board and lodg-
ing at the Great Western for himself and
young man whom he sal was his
private secretary. He had no cash, but
told DR.. Galland that he had telegraphed
the German consul at San Francisco to
write to his sob, prominent physician of
Honolulu, Of his financial straits, and ex-
pected an answer from his son in the
shape of considerable sum of money by
the 10th. DR.. Weigel a few days later
secured the services of youth named
Samuel Clark as cOach-man. besides
borrowing several dollars of him. He
then proceeded to ride at the expense of
H. B. Bell, establishing his credit upon
the ''eoming money" racket. The Doctor
with secretary and coachman, took daily
excursions over the prairies, and delight
ed in the beautiful scenery with which
southwestern Kansas abounds. Last
week he purchased of the York.Key
Company about TWENTY-FIVE dollars worth
of clothing. to be paid for when his
Honolulu ship come in. But the ship
didn't come, and as the tops of its masts
were not signaled on the expiration of
the usual days of grace, DR.. Galland
entered complaint. Marshal Rhodes
arrested Weigel last Saturday for obtain
ing property by false representations.
The preliminary hearing was had before
Justice Swan on Monday and the evidence
was considered sufficient to hold defen.
dant until the June term of district
court. He was placed in the county jail,
and unless the Hawaiian son sends the
money will have to face the music in
Judge Abbott's conservatory OF law.
The penalty for such an offense is from
one to five years at Lansing. Some of
the officials believe DR.. Weigel is off his
mental equilibrium. His Incarceration in
;reases the number Of inmates of the
county Jail to nine.

Atchison Champion: No real reason
has ever been urged why silver should
be demOnetiZed. There is no argu men;
against bimetallism in the United States.
When the entire case is put upon its
financial analysis it is found that the real
effect of gold mOnometalism is to de-
crease the debt paying power of the pro-
ducers and wage earners of the United
States. The real issue is shall the
financial policy of this county be in the
interest of its labor, its lands, its shops,
and its homes, or shall it be for the BEN
eft of the: few who clip interest coupons?
The Republican party never has been
committed to the single standard policy
and it never will be. 1t has ever stood
for both silver and gold as the money of
the American constitution, and it will
continue to stand for the double standard

the contrary Notwithstanding.

Utility of the Shark.

Some useful products from what may be
termed a novel source are enumerated by
The Revue Scientifique, as showing tho
ingenuity and diversitication of modern
industry and the value of that bandit of
the sea, the shark. Thus the liver of this
predatory creature is found to contain an
oil Of a beautiful color, which never be-
comes turbid and possesses medicinal
qualities of a very valuable character. The
skin after being dried takes the polish
and hardness of mother of pearl, and Oh
being marbled bears a resemblance to fos-
sill coral, so that it is employed by jewellers
for the manufacture Of fancy objects, by
binders for making shagreen and by cab
inetmakers for polishing wood. The fins,
independent Of use by some as an article
of food, are superior for conversion into
fish glue, competing in this line with the
we'll known sturgeon glue prepared in
Russia, and Are used for clarifying beer,
wine and other liquors, also for the prep
aration of. English taffetas and as reagents
in chemistry, etc. The flesh, too, despite
it's oily taste, is in some places eaten as
food, and, along with the bones, is con,
verified into a fertilizer.

PAUL OF RUSSIA.

His Assassination Was Singularly Like tho
Ending of Julius Cesar.
The 25th of March, 1901, was the day on
which the Emperor Paul Of Russia was as
sassinated. paul had received some whis-
pers of the plot against his life, and had
arranged to leave St. Petersburg the fol-
lowing day and go to Moscow, where he
fancied he might be safer. On the evening
of the 25th he retired to rest at an carly
hour that he might thoroughly rest HIM
self before commencing his journey: At
IL O'Clock about q score of the conspirators
Officers holding high rank in the army
appeared at the gate of the palace. 1t
was closed, but the officers presented an
order, signed by the emperor himself-or
rather with aforged signature attached
and, informing tho sentinel that they were
called to hold a council Of war with the
czar, were admitted.
The emperor's aid-de-camp was one of
the foremost of the conspirators, and went
in advance Of the others to Paul's bed
chamber, before the door of which was a
Cossack soldier on guard. "The emperor
sleeps" said the man. II must rouse
him. There is fire in the city, - replied the
treacherous aid. The Cossack, seeing
others push forward, shouted out to alarm
the emperor and Immediately fell pierced
by tho swords Of the conspirators. Paul
attempted to bolt the door, but, being un
able to do so, seized his sword and turned
boldly on them. "What is your design?''
he demanded of Count Plato Zoubof,
land what do these men want who are
with you?" "We demand your abdica-
tion," replied Zouboff, who then read a
formal deed, which had been previously
prepared.
What! Do you, who have been loaded
with bounties by me, turn thus upon your
master?'' said the emperor.
"You are no longer our master, !" replied
Zoubof. "The nation has provided you q
successor in the shape of your son Alexan-
der.
Paul at this raised his sword, and the
conspirators, who had not expected him to
show so much courage, drew back, with
the exception Of a man named Beningsen,
who urged the Others forward, saying:
IF you hesitate, you are lost"
Then Count Valerian Zoubof struck the
first blow and the others quickly followed
his example. AS Paul still struggled an
officers sash was passed around his neck,
and the life was choked out Of him, his
last words being:
And you, too, my Constantine!"-
