There can be no doubt that the preliminary
advertising Of the now big show hns attracted
n great deal of attention. There is some thing
about its methods that are convincing, and

sition of Premier.
Eminent Jurist OF Ohio Takes the
Portfolio Vacated by 0lney.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The announce
mcnt late yesterday afternoon of the trans
Ter Of AttsSney General Olney to the state
department created no surprise here, as 1t
has been well understood for several days
Chat Mr.. Olney would succeed 10 the first
place in the cabinet, made vacant by the
death Of Secretary Gresham. II Is proba-
Bile that Mr. Olney today will take the
oath of Office as the head Of the state de-
partment
The president at one time contemplated
other changes In his cabinet and re-
arrangement of several of the portfolios
and In this connection consideration was
given to tho transfer Of Secretary Smith
70 the department of justice, but this and
other transfers were finally abandoned
and the president concluded that the
simplest plan would be merely TO fill the
vacancy caused by Mr. Olney's promotion.
Mr.. Olney comes from one of the oldest
New England families. The first of the
family TO come from England was
Thomas Olney, who settled in Massachu'
octts In 1886. He was "a friend Of Roger
Williams, and with Williams was one OF
the founders of "Proyidence plantations"
Mr.. Olney was born in 1885 in Oxford,
Mass, and graduated from Brown uni
versity In 1866 aud from the Harvard law
school two years later. He began the
practice of his profession with Judge b.
4. Thomas, n descendant Of Isaiah
Thomas, tho publisher Of the "Old Thomas
Almanac" and founder Of the Worcester
Spy. In 1851 Mr.. olney married Judge
Thomas daughter, thus uniting two oil
the oldest families of New England.
For years Mr. Olney has been regarded
as ono OF the ablest and most learned
lawyers In his state. Twice he has been
offered a place on the supreme bench OF
Massachusetts, and declined.
Politically Mr.. Olney has always been a
Democrat. In late years his judgment has
been sought after In matters Of public and
party policy by the young men who have
become prominent in the Democratic party
Of Massachusetts,.
In 1874 no was elected representative
In tho Legislature from Roxbury. In 1875,
when tho Democratic party was so anxiou.

Of new stations and the addition Of
new reports.
Sherman county is well toward the
fore in irrigation, having more pump
ing plants successfully working than
any other Kansas county. With the
possible exception Of Finney county.
Says one of the irrigation board who
resides in that county:
"ren acres is enough for any farmer.
If ne has 160 acres and is losing money
let him take 500 and irrigate 10 acres,
and he is independent for life. He can
support his family and the remaining
80 acres viii be profit"
1t is too much TO hope that this sea
son alone, even with government and
state aid. viii accomplish enough to
demonstrate exactly how much may be
accomplished in western Kansas BY ir-
rigation. 1t will be shown. however.
that the conditions may be much amel-
iOrated, and the settlers may come to
such a position as TO be relieved from
the necessity Of asking aid. as was done
last winter. The seed grain furnished
by the state viii raise nothing. or next
to nothing, with the exception of the
extreme northwest counties. and the
census now being taken will show a de-
crease in population that will be as
founding to many. Twenty western
counties, with a population Of 10000
in 1888, had last year $4,000, and this
year it will be much less. Climatic
conditions caused it. It may be chang
ed if the water now wasted can be con
| served and utilized.

THE THISTLE LAW.
That Measure Promises to BE Extremely
Troublesome,

That Measure Promises to BE Extremely
Troublesome.
The Russian thistle law promises to
be as irksome as it is foolish. On IN,
occupied lands it will amount to con
fscation, as it will cost as much to de-
stroy the weeds as the land is worth
The weeds are growing by the mil
lions in Colorado aud Nebraska, and
what profit is it to Kansas to spend
| thousands of dollars to destroy them
when it is a fOregOne conclusion that
the north winds of next fail will scatter
hundred seeds where one weed has
been destroyed?
But be that as it may, the law is very
stringent and the county officials that
have the matter in charge have no
choice but to see that the law is enfOrc.
ed or else pay a big fine.
If other states had a similar law
there might be some hope of eXtermin-
ating the pest, but for one state to at
tempt it is sheer folly.
The law should be repealed or sus
pended until such time as concerted
action with other states can be had.
Tt is estimated that it would cost this
county $4,000 to fulfill the require
ments of the law, and there seems ia
no way out except to sharpen up the
grubbing hoe and go to work at the
thankless job.

One OF Sherman county's substantial
farmers recently told the editor some
thing that may prove of interest and
benefit to men who work in the soil.
As is we'll known, much aggravation is
experienced from the high winds that
come to us nearly every spring after
blowing and seeding has been done,
the seed sometimes being blown out of
the ground, to say nothing of the tons
of earth fioated in the air by the gen
tie zephyrs. For several years our in
formant said, he had paid no attention
as to what point he directed his team
in blowing, but nearly always found
them heading south and of course
cOuntermarching to the north, and had
lots of trouble from blown fields. This
season he adopted different tactics,
and plowed east and west On all parts
of his farm. The result has been re-
markably satisfactory. Although the
season has been one of the most
breezy ever known. scarcely a handful
of dust changed places on any part of
his fields, and a cloud of dust has not
been seen thereon this spring. He
haTrOws to and from the same points
of the compass. The force of the wind
he says, seems to be broken in this
way, while in the other small channels
or cutters are made to help Old Boreas
in his destructive work.
