Itnever pays for people to lose their
heads. They are apt to do and say
things for which they will be sorry
when they have time to calm their
passions and take a sober second
thought. Talk Of hanging a Judge
in efigy because he has not decided
in accordance with the clamor of an
excited public, is the most idle non
sense. 1t is more, it is menace to
the public peace that ought not to be
INDUCED in, nor encouraged either by
individuals or the press.
To come to the point. By his two
recent decisions, the transient cloth
ing dealers and the election injunc-
tion, Judge Ikeler seems to have given
great offense and he has been subject
ed to severe criticism. We are not
the champions Of the court, and have
no apology or excuse to offer in its
behalf The court probably would
not thank US were we to do so, but
cool reflection must satisfy every rea-
sonable man that the hasty judgment
of the public is more apt to be wrong
than the deliberate judgment of the
Judge. The Lieberman case was
decided on the authority of decision
of Judge Scott of Northampton county
in precisely similar case, and Judge
Ikeler says in his opinion printed else
where in this paper, that after careful
examination he came to the conclu-
sion that Judge Scott was right, and
SO held.
In the Injunction case, the argu-
ment was made on Monday occupy
ing most of the day. Voluminous au-
thorities were cited by Mr.. Scarlet,
which it was utterly impossible for the
court to examine in time to render a
decision by seven o'clock Tuesday
morning, and so he continued the
injunction, stopping the election until
he has time to consider the questions
raised by the bill in equity, If it is
found that the bill cannot be sustain
ed, another election may be ordered,
the Town being put to the additional
expense of re-advertislng the ordinance
and notices which may or may not be
recoverable from the plaintiff in the
bill. If the bill is sustained, that is
the end of the election in its present
form. The proper administration OF
justice must be governed by the laws
as they are. If the time shall ever
come when the decisions of the courts
are influenced and moulded by public
clamor, we shall then have reached a
most dangerous period in our nation.
al existence.

IRRIGATION BY wINDMILL.

Windmill irrigation has come to stay
and keep company with canals in Lin
coin Co., Neb. Mr.. S. J. Koch, who re-
sides about three miles southwest of
Hershey on the South Platte river, fur
nishes us with a description of his
plant. He has a siXteen-foot wheel,
working a direct stroke eight-inch
pump. with eight-inch stroke in light
winds, pumping from a. 40-foot we'll.
The water is conveyed into a reservoir
made by pudding the earth, with di-
mansions 214x10, with five feet of wa
ter. He has now already irrigated
twenty-five acres that is planted to
oats, barley and alfalfa, and will irri-
gate a five-acre garden. The cost Of
the plant complete, not including Mr..
Koch's labor, was $225. By putting
in a winter crop Mr.. Koch will be able
to irrigate over fifty acres. Although
the late rains have helped the appear
ance of things the irrigated tract is
so per cent ahead of his other crops.
AS the secret of windmill irrigation
is the reservoir, and this is all labor
we may expect to see every farmer in
the county have a plant of this kind
in a few years. Pumping from a depth
of 200 feet sixteen-foot mill will irri-
gate over ten acres, and ten acres irri-
gated will always keep want and hun
ger from the door, and the average of
crop raised will be greater on ten acres
of irrigated land than on forty acres
by the old or dry farming plan.-Inde-
pendent Era.

chamberlain, general manager or the
La FayeIre MercanuIe agency.
This murder is shown to have been
prior to or during 1891. B. T. Pitzel,
VINO later fell a victim, was a par
ticipant in the murder of this man
and Attorney Chamberlain says,
equally guilty with Holmes. The
crime was committed in Chicago in
1891 or early in 1892. Again the victim
was traced to the Holmes building in
Englewood There it was, Mr..
Chamberlain gives the impression,
that the crime was committed. The
police do not think that this body
has been found. The skeletons that
were fixed up were furnished a
year or two years later. 1t is the be
lief that the body was dissected and
cremated, or buried deep in quick
lime in the bottom Of the basement.
The name was kept from the public,
the attorneys say, to allow the police
to work UP further evidence. 1t is
believed that this is the first victim
of H H. Holmes.
