Governors Employees Compelled to Re
fund Money
Topeka. May Sin An opinion rem
dered in response TO an inquiry from
State Auditor Cole, Attorney General
Dawes says the payment from the gov
errors contingent fund to the employ
.es Of the executive Office for services
performed prior to the inauguration Of
Governor Morrill, was illegal and
should not have been done.
The attorney general holds that the
employees we're not in the service OF the
state of Kansas while at work in the
Columbian building from Dec. 10 to
Jan, il; that payment for such service
from the contingent fund was not legal
because the legislature makes a sDeeifi
appropriation for that purpose and
that the employees under Governor
Leweliing were entitled to the salary
OF the positions as they we're perform
ing the duties therefor
The money was paid in the absence
of State Auditor Cole and he asked for
the opinion from the attorney general
because he believed that the payment
was improper. The opinion was written
under date of April s. The employees
IN the governors Office who drew the
salaries for the time mentioned have
placed the vouchers for April salary in
the contingent fund to replace the
months salary drawn from that fund.

EARLY lRRIGATIHG METHODS.
Irrigation a Science Since the Dawn
Of History.
ADAMIC METHODS YET n FOGUE.
Abraham Solves the Desert land Cues
ton By Digging the First Wen Up
ON the Plains of Canaan.


Our ilustrious ancestor, Adam. was
the first man to grasp the advantages
to be acquired from irrigation. aAnd a
river went out Of Eden to water the
garden; and from thence it was parted
and became into four heads. The river
was Adams main ditch from which he
constructed his laterals. four in
number.
From all accounts Adam had good
ly number OF acres. under ditch. in
Guiding the orchard, which he titled
right heartily even in face of the fact
that his foreign market was an un-
known quantity, and home consump-
ton easily satiated. And yet the cry
of oYerproduction was never raised.
In many parts of the world the
Adamic system of irrigation is still in
vogue, the water being supplied from
rivers or lakes. It rested with Abra-
ham, however, to improve upon Adams
discovery. When he and Lot, his bro
ther, went out to the land of Canaan. a
scarcity of water was experienced.
sand there was strife between the
herdmen of Abrams cattle and the
herdmen of Lots cattle"
Trusting to the brotherIy honesty
and unselfishness of Lot, Abraham Of
fered him the choice Of the land over
which they were masters. "And Lot
lifted up his eyes and beheld all the
plain Of Jordan, that it was well water
ed everywhere. Then Lot chose him
all the plain of Jordan"
This shut Abraham out Of all water
rights, and forced him to dwell in a
land where there was no water for him
self or his kline.
But necessity is always the mother of
invention. Therefore Abraham digged
him we'll on the plains of Canaan.
From that time to this, no agency
known to man has had such direct
bearing upon civilization as has the
we'll 1t is indeed the signpost of CHI
lizatiOn and progression unknown t.
barbarism. Upon the sterile pains of
Canaan Abraham prOspered because of
his wells This influence reclaimed a
desert.
Now, thousands of years since, the
well is retaining another desert as it
did in time long past. To be sure the
desert Of the present is in another
hemisphere, in contact with different
climatic influences, and yet the we'll
will be as successful here and now. as
it was then, in the days of Abraham.
It's influence is already perceptible
here in Sherman county. It is making
two blades of grass to grow where none
grew before. 1t is cOnquering want and
enthrOning plenty. It is making pros
perity possible and poverty obsolete.
0Greatwas Adam, but greater was Abra-
ham, the discoverer of the we'll and its
-irrigating possibilities.

State Geological Survey.

In conformity with the law under
which the University of Kansas is now
working, the board of regents at re.
cent meeting formally organized the
university geological survey of Kansas
with Chancellor f. H. Snow. ex-oficio
director, Professor S. w. Williston.
paleOntOlogist, Professor Erasmus
HawOrth, geOlogist and mineralogist
and Professor B. H. S. Bailey, chemist
In addition to these, other members
of the university faculty will be en-
gagged upon the work of the survey. as
well as the advanced students of the
departments of geology and paIeOnto-
lOgy. An effort will also be made to
centralize and unity the energies of
different biologists in the state who
have been doing valuable work along
different lines of geological inyestiga
tons. Already a considerable start
has been made and the cooperation of
different biologists of the state has
been secured.
The policy of the survey will be con
seryatlve, with the exception that il
will be continued and eventually in
clude all other branches of the natural
history of the state. The general
stratigraphy of the state will first be
elaborated in order that it may be used
ia the further study of various ques
tlOns of economic and scientific i'm.
pOFtance, all of which will be taken IN
as rapidly as existing conditions from
time to time will permit.
Work in the coal measure of the
state has been in progress for two sum.
mers, and volume 1 of the report is
now almost ready for publication
Other volumes will appear at irregular
intervals. Those already under pre-.
paratiOn are: One on coal, oil and gas
one on the vertebrate paIeontology Of
the state; and one on the salt and gyp
sum deposits of Kansas.

ID and snring Fevar

In the spring the Indians fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of footing
.agency stores and pumping lead into
the white population. The fevered red
man stufs himself with a vigorous So
luton of tacks in sulphuric acid and
goes out with an earnest desire to
make himself persona non grata to his
neighbOrs. The papers this week we're
full of the gayety Of the noble red man
in various corners of the west. Tt
would pay the government once a year
to load the reservation with sarsaparil-
la and iron. At present the aboriginal
spring fever is allowed to run its
course until drastic measures are re-
quired, and then it is abated by aIlo-
pathic doses of lead, hypOdermically
administered. This is a sure cure for
the fever, but it is ruinious to the con-
stitution of the patient.

The grip is making it's annual tour OF
the upper peninsula, making it's uniortu-
nate victims sneeze and snecze and
then sneeze some more. Speaking Of
this prevailing malady an eminent physi-
clan advises people who fall victims to
il 10 live on light diet, avoiding meats
and rich things which require muscular
exertion to digest. Let the food he
simple and plain, oi nature to soothe
the stomach while it maintains life
The patient should spend at least TWEEN
ty-iour hours in bed, thinking OF nothing
in particular. IL is OF no use TO fight
grip. One had better capitulate at
the very first. Take plenty OF warm
drinks TO stimulate the action of the
skin. IL is very necessary to take this
course at tho outset, for grip has some
unpleasant scquels.

LEX0W
Crystal Falls is Afflicted With
the Epldemical Fad.
A General Research Into the Mvster-
les of the Official Records OF
the County inauRurated.

The Ofiice.Seekinc Committee has been
at work nearly all the week looking over
the books in the office Of the county
treasurer, and is now engaged in check
inc the books and accounts ofthe county
clerk. Its investigation has not proven
very satisfactory 10 the individuals who
compose this committee; for. up To the
present time they have been unable to
unearth any official corruption or ex-
pose any robbery Of the public funds.
There has been SO much said by those
who are always seeking, and who never
can he elected TO Office, that The DTA-
MOND DRILL Is glad TO know that this
investigation Is being carried on, and
viii be pleased, il permitted, TO give to
the public full and complete account
Of the startling discoveries made by 1t
when it's work is done.
Every person holding public office
should give this committee access TO
such books and records as are under his
charge, and aid them in carrying on this
investigation to the end, so that the
public may know the truth or ialsity Of
reports circulated by unscrupulous
ce-seckcrs.
THE DIAMOND DRILL is informed, how
ever, that this investigation is carried
on for the sole purpose OF promoting
the individaul interests of the members
who compose the committee in the
approaching annual township meeting
rs Mr.. Sweeney would like TO bc super
visor; Mr.. Rau, clerk, and MIR. Berg,
treasurer Of the township OF Crystal
Falls during theyear 1895, and rs long
thereafter as they could hold the job |;
providing, OF course, that they were Sn-
able TO attain the height OF their ambi-
tion--shcriTi, clerk and treasurer Of
the county.
THE DIAMOND DmLL, believing in the
principles OF the Republican party, also
believes in the wisdom OF Republicans in
standing together in municipal elections,
and not be led astray by the artiul
dodge OF oiIicinl corruption by cunning
ana ambitions politicians.
Let the Republicans OF Crystal Falls
go into caucus and select from their mum
bers Republicans for the offices that are
to be filled; and then go to the polls and
elect the men OF their choice and party;
and not allow this Democratic inves-
tigaiing committee TO allure them into
political snare.
