The corner posts are 6x6 set with
anchors 5 feet in the ground and with
caps on top Of posts, 6x6, and then board
ed up on outside with common inch
boards. A shaft on top Of frame is OF
iron, 16 feet long. The arms are 9 feet
long from the center, making the wheel
IL feet and fans (six in number) 16 feet
long. This runs two pumps. The pumps
were made with two pieces Of 6-inch gas
pipe, and cylinder, 6 inch. connected to
gas pipe in the middle for each pump.
The we'll was dug 10 feet down to water
then put down 1O-inch wooden tube with
sand pumps 10 feet. Plug the end Of the
gas pipe and set down inside OF wooden
tube, then fill up with coarse gravel and
pull out wooden tube. Fill up with
coarse gravel to the top as it let's the air
pass down freely to take the place Of the
water that is drawn from below.
To make the point or the place to
receive the water: Take the gas pipe to
a blacksmith and have = inch or ! inch
holes drilled quite thick for 2 feet. then
take to tin smith and have it covered
with gauze. This makes a cheap and
durable point. Take 4x4 pine and
square down to 8 squares, attach one end
to plunger on cylinder and the other end
to Pitman and here is stay 2xl pine II
feet long to keep it in place. For pit
mans use wagon tongues. The cranks
are inches long, making a 10 inch
stroke. The object Of the large plunger
is to give a steady stream and it lifts
easier than il it were more water and
small plunger.
The wind mill is never out OF order
and always ready when the wind blows.
The reservoir is 5Ox1OO feet, feet deep.
He let out of his reservoir in December,
January, and March, last year, GA feet Of
water on his orchard, out of which he
gathered over 800 bushels Of apples. He
used the water this summer for vegeta-
bles on about six acres, and believes he
got more garden stuff of the six acres
than he did of of thirty acres Of similar
land without water. The mill cost 800,
besides the work which was done at
home.

In Omaha they are instituting some
reforms that are at least suggestive of a
principle that might we'll be put into
practice wherever public monies are
received and imbursed by public officials,
and that is, instead of depending on a
long time report, make it short time.
In their case they always change from a
monthly to daily report. The deposit
tory banks will, before II o'clock OF each
day, furnish the comptroller with state
ments of money deposited the previous
day by the treasurer, and the banks will
not honor any checks drawn on such
funds by the treasurer unless they are
countersigned by the comptroller. The
comptroller will at any time have access
to the cash drawer in the city treasury
to count the cash.

The Omaha World Herald has the
following to say of Charley Morse's great
trotter: "The Corporal, that Nebraska
product that surprised everybody last
year, may be heard from next year, in
deed it will be wonder If he is not. He
started ont last June with record Of
2:2s1s and quit with it at 2:121s. There's
a reduction for you. He did not show
up such speed until after Chandler took
him in charge and then he got down to
work, winning $4,000 during the season.
He trotted most of his miles below 2:15
and few at 2:l3. He is a magnificent
animal and it is pretty safe to say that
he has not reached the limit of his speed
and that be will give a good account of
himself next season and he a credit to
Nebraska"

Otto Pohl's new march, dedicated to
the Fremont Big Four" has been re-
ceived by him and is now on the market.
1t is a gem from typographical and a
mechanical standpoint which does justice
to Fremontis young and gifted compos-
er's excellent work. The demand for it
is great and the march, which caught
Fremont, will soon be as familiar as any
Of the up-to-date marches. The "big
four" consists Of Otto Pohl. Guy Him.
man. John Stewart and Fred Richards.
The above, clipped from the Fremont
Herald. gives the local color to the pro-
duction which is by County Clerk Pohl's
son Otto. The JOURNAL acknowledges
the receipt of copy of the march from
the gifted young composer, for which he
has our thanks. Keep on, young man.
You are marking time and making har-
mony in fine shape, and will, no doubt,
with proper perseverance, take high
rank as q composer.

The New York Worlds kilograms to
the banks of the country, asking them
how much of the public loan they would
take, waa a great advertisement for that
paper. The answers, printed in the
World, occupy several pages and are
very interesting. The answer of the
First National Of this city was that If
they we're allowed circulation equal to
the par value Of the bonds they would
take $4,000. One bank answered that
it didn't believe in doing anything to
help an administration that couldn't
help itself-wait for change. Another
answered that it was in the hands Of a
receiver, had no money, but If the gov
ernment would take lands in exchange
for bonds they might make a deal.

Leopold Plath's best horse, for which
he had been offered $50, got loose
Saturday evening and didn't come home.
George Loshbaugh, in another part of
the city, came home with his mother
late in the evening, and, hearing noise
on the outside, went ont to see what was
the matter. A man, outlined in the
darkness, could be seen running away
from the place. On looking around,
George found horse tied up to the
fence, and he had four-tined pitchfork
stuck into his flank, all the tines pene-
trating their full length. George pulled
the fork out, when the horse quivered
and fell, soon expiring. This merciless
treatment of dumb brute could only
be the work of such a dangerously bad
character that a living among civilized
people except under lock, key and mas
ter, should not be allowed him.

representatives upon the question OF re.
publican presidential candidates. This
SYMPOSIUM contains the following from
Senator Nelson on the Davis candidacy:
Senator Cushman K. Davis OF Mime
sofa. is a bona fide candidate tor the

is not based upon any designs for the
manipulation Of the republican conven-
ton a.. St. Louis, but uGon the earnest
belief of the people of Minnesota that he
is the most available and most desirable
man IN the republican party Tor the
nomination. He will lundoubtedly have
the full support OF the Minnesota dele
CATION at st. Louis, and his friends con-
fidently expect to get the votes OF North

his adherents have undertaken the active
campaign which is being carried on IN

Mr.. Davis friends are very confident
and the whole state is enthusiastic over
the prospect of his nomination.
