and the subject of gas engine pro-
posal will probably give part of the
board at least chance to go to Kan
sas City before the day is done.
It's idea, the board says, is to save
the state the cost of experimenting
with different pumping plants. 1t
wants the states to buy only satisfac-
tory outfits, and wants the firm max
ing bids to prove the efficiency Of
their machinery by actual experiment.
before it is accepted. Every bid that
is at all reasonable will be considered.
and the bidders allowed to try one of
their outfits in actual operation. II
| it is satisfactory it will be allowed to
remain. If not it will be torn up by
the roots and some other fellow given
a chance.
Only good machinery will be ac-
copied at whatever cost. 1t is proba
bic now that each pumping station
will cost in the neighborhood of 5000.
At first it was thought the cost could
be kept at about $500.
The state is pretty poor anyway.
Once during the morning a reqpisi-
tion was made on the state for pens.
ink and paper. The Sergeant-at-arms
came back in short time with the
news that the state was shy on pens,
ink and paper. Secretary Coburn was
present and said he didn't doubt it,
tho state was too moor tn even furnish
him Irvine to tie up packages of pa
perS with.
1t was Immediately suggested that
Secretary of the board Sutton be in
structed to buy fifteen cents worth of
paper at one place, fifteen cents
worth of ink at another, and fifteen
cents worth of pens at another, and
have the bill sent to the state. -State

STATE IRRIGATION BOARD DISCUSSING
THE IRRIGATING BIDS.

The Board Seeks to Be Guaranteed Against
Loss or Failure.
The entire state board of irrigation
met this morning at the Office of the
board of public works and had pleas
ant, chatty time.
Judge Sutton was there Judge
Frost was there: and Mr.. Tomblin of
Goodland managed to be present and
say few little things occasionally.
So also did Professor Haworth of the
State university, President Fairchild
of the agricultural college sat back at
the end of the table and watched the
others.
The session lasted more than two
hours.
There were contracts for pumping
stations to be let. The stations are
locatd in Logan, Wichita, Greeley and
Lane counties and the bids for drill
ing, mills, pumps, reservoirs, ETC.,
were very numerous. So numerous
and incomprehensible were they in
fact that the committee simply sat
down in the middle of the pile and
refused to be comforted.
Every subject was discussed and
every subject was dropped with charm
ing regularity before it was complet-
ed. One man wanted one thing and
one man wanted another, and no man
was heard through his entire speech.
Some of the bids were looked over,

hard to refuse fellow creature a

peals in the usual tramp style, II
haven't had anything to eat for TWEEN
ty-four hours" Occasionally there is
deserving one, and this fact makes
it the more difficult to refuse, for
they all have about the same piteous
tale to relate. We didn't set out to
present a solution of the tramp prob
lem and frankly admit that it is be-
yond our knowledge, but at the same
time, we would like to suggest to the
proper authorities that they be not
permitted to tarry very long within
the confines of our city. Keep them
moving.
The A. o. U. w. and the Modern
Woodmen are both taking in new
members every meeting night. We
think we are safe in saying that Wa
Keeney and vicinity carry more life
insurance, in proportion to the num-
nifty in the state, and we further be-
lieve that there is no surer or safer
index of the character of a neigh
bOrhood than this foresight in thus
providing for the comfort of loved
ones in case of being called away. We
have observed the ineStimable bless
ings resulting from membership in
1these societies more than once and
firmly believe that next to a mans
Bible, and his God, is his duty to
guard the future welfare of his family
when he can no longer provide for
them. And the best, surest and
cheapest way to do this is to insure in
one of these societies. Not a single
instance can be shown where policy
has not been promptly paid and the
cost is within reach Of the poorest.

Plain Literary Women

/ heard 1t asserted the other day by a
literary man that all clever women
at least women who had distinguished
themselves above the common herd of
their sisters, were plain-featured, unat-
tractive. If not positively ugly. IT'S
true. and pity tbs tbs true, that almost
all the great women of letters, Nine
de Stael. Nine Sand George Eliot,
Charlotte Bronte, Mrs. Browning. and
Miss Austen were plain women. The
question then arises, is this the fault
of nature, whose niggard hand will not
deal put simultaneously beauty of fea-
ture and power of brain or is 1t the
fault of women who are content to ac-
cept the appendage of beauty as king
dom and power in itself, and seek no
more so long as there are slaves ready
and willing to be attached to their car?
or is it that the plain woman, handi-
capped in the race of life with her
beautiful sisters. has carved out new
career and a new triumph for herself?
Prof Lombroso, no doubt. has a ready
answer for the problem. Meanwhile
the new woman might refute the asser-
ton triumphantly by growing beautiful
as well as clever. Poetesses, at least.
ought to be lovely, with the example of
Byron. Keats. Shelley. Schiller and
Gothic. Alfred de Musset and Tennyson
before them. Nature, so generous to
male poets. cannot surely refuse TO
women the privileges she lavishes on
the sterner sex.-Graphic.
