NANsEN's GREAT ANCESTOR

Fridjof Nansen, the man who has Just
returned from point nearest the North
Pole than was ever reached by any Other
explorer, is directly descended from {
Hans Nansen who was burgomaster Of
Copenhaven in 1860, and headed the civic
forces during the siege of that city b,
the Swedes. This ancient Hans was
something of n Statesman rs well rs a sol
dier, and while he fought the Swedes out
side of the city walls he fought thd
LEGGED mobiles within. He succeed
making them pay taxes like other I'D
and against their opposition made
crown of Denmark hereditary. 1t
teresting to note, also, that Hans Nah
when young man, made what we IsS}s
those days some highly adventurous
tic voyages and explored the shores

The Turkish authorities have already
given display of the unequal justice dis
pensed in that country, where the parties
on trial are Armenians and Musslemans.
AT Constantinople on the 30th ultimo
a number of the latter, convicted of the
murder of Armenians, were sentenced to
fifteen years imprisonment, while at he
same time long list of Armenians sus.
pected of taking part in the late outbreak
were condemned to death. 1t is very APP
parent from this notwithstanding the
recent protests OF the Christian powers,
that Turkey is decidedly an. undesirable
country for Armenians to reside in.

he hears of this, but lest it might start
ell the farmers in the country to blowing
for 1904 cents it is best to state that there
is only one other such coin in existence.
Farmers in the United States have for
several years past been ploughing for
cents; but when silver is remonetized
they will be making dollars where they
before hardly made cents.

The Republicans are always talking of
"the great reaction" that has taken place
in the past three weeks. This has been
the great cry since the first month after
Bryan's nomination for President and it
has been kept up continually since then.
They now cheerfully admit that three
weeks ago the sS.situation was decidedly
blue for Mckinley, and no doubt will be
willing to make the same admission
theee weeks from this time, all of which
goes to show that they ssknow they are
still very far back in the woods, and are
merely whistling to keep their courage
up. Three weeks ago Bryan and free sill
yer were growing in popularity at an
amazing rate. Now the~Ssame sentiment
is sweeping the country, and three weeks
from now the election Of the Democratic
national ticket will be so we'll assured
that none but strong Republican parti-
sans will have the hardihood to deny it,

EVENING COSTUME.

ing TO the goods of which they are made,
and it is necessary to sew a fine wire
around the edge to keep them in position
The high medici collars, SO much en-
ployed for jackets and wraps require to
be sustained in the same manner. Other
wise they lose their shape and become
crooked and limp.
The bows, choux and flower tufts which
were worn on each side of draped collars
last year are no longer seen. The fash
ionable draped collar has coques or a large
bow at the back, and the only other orna-
ment is a pin or buckle in the middle of
the front, unless there is trimming around
the top, such as a narrow ruche or turned
down points of lace. Close collars of metal
galloon are feature of the season and
are very effective. All close collars which
are made separate from the bodice need to
be tackled to it front and back to keep
them in place. If they are not thus Sc
cured they are almost sure to slip to one
side rise above the plain collar under
Meath
Ostrich tips are much used for decorat-
ing evening bodices. A cluster is usually
placed on one shoulder, the other having
bow of ribbon or a few flowers. Feather
boas of delicate tints are also worn with
evening dress, being thrown around the
neck between dances. They are prettier
than the light shawls formerly employed
for ballroom wraps, but afford far less
protection.
The sketch shows an evening gown in
gold colored broche silk. The skirt has
long train and is edged by line of velvet
pansies. The tablier is framed by two
plated panels of lace embroidered with
gold. The bodice. has two lace draperies
in front and round, fat bertha of broche
silk, which passes over the top of the arms
and forms the only sleeve. The round
decolletage is bordered with pansies. Pan
sizes are also placed at the front of the belt,
falling upon the skirt.

other sheer material is to be draped over
silk the silk bodice is completed first, be-
ing lined and fitted and completely sewed,
and the chiffon is afterward applied.
Too large q needle is often used for ma
chine stitching This cuts the lining and
makes a conspicuous seam. A fine needle
is to be preferred, and the seams of a
bodice should be stitched with sewing silk,
instead of cotton.
All seams must be carefully basted be-
fore they are sewed. A skillful dress
maker knows that the perfection of a
bodice depends largely upon the basting
not only of the seams, but of the lining to
the outside goods The lining must al
ways be trihe fuller than the outside, SO
that the latter will be stretched a little.
This obviates wrinkles.
A strong and nonelastic lining should
be used, but it must be thin and not stiff.
Silk is of course the best, but percaline of
tho best quality is also good. Silesia is so
apt to stretch that it is unreliable and
should not be used
Stiff, thick whalebone ought never to
be employed, for it is intractable and adds
considerably to the size of the waist. Very
thin, flexible bone is the only kind that
will give a satisfactory effect, and each
piece of that should be scraped thin at the
ends and rounded off Before the bones
are covered hole should be pierced near
each end with hot needle, this hole serv-
ing as a means of securing the bone firmly.
1t is better to burn the hole, because sew
ing through the bone in the ordinary way
is apt to split it.
An illustration is given of dinner
bodice of velvet, with cashmere pattern.
1t is gathered at the waist behind, the
front being full and crossed and fastened
ut the waist by pearl buckle ove4 coque
of ribbon. The decolletage is square be-
hind eza1 yeea.atea N front, and a band of
chinchilla passes over the shoulders and
across the back. The balloon sleeves have
full epaulets, edged with chinehilla, and

IRRIGATION BOARDS REPORT.

No Money to Get Out the Expected TO-
600 Copies.
The Kansas state board of irrigation is
lying awake just now wondering how it
is going 10 get the records of its work of
the past year before the people.
A month ago the Loard at a meeting
here decided that it would issue report
in the form of a pamphlet of perhaps
100 pages and make the issue 10000
copies.
All this arrangement was spoiled yes
terday when two N EN- bers of the print
ing board said unofficially that the board
had not enough money to print the re-
port.
The printing board consists of Attor-
ney General Dawes, Treasurer Anterior
and Secretary of State Edwards. MIR.
Edwards is out of the city but the two
other mem bers told the irrigation COM
mission that it had more reports to issue
this year than ever, and less money to
issue them with.
In the face of this the irrigation COM
mission feels that people who are inter-
ested in irrigation as means of saving
western Kansas are more than entitled
to the report and will see if it cannot take
the money out of its own appropriation
if it cannot be printed otherwise.
1t will cost about $3.50 to print 10000
copies of the report

THOSE STATE IRRIGATION WELLS

Eleven of Them Are Working Successful
1y in Western Kansas.
Thirteen wells have been located by
the board of irrigation in the first year of
its existence. OF these, eleven are in
most successful operation. One at
Tribune in Greeley county where shale
was struck and another at Wakeeney in
Trego county are still in progress as the
first attempts were not successful.
Both of these wells are il Judge Suit
toms third OF the western half OF Kansas.
He has very successful wells at Leoti in
Wichita county and at Dig hton in Lane
county.
Mr.. Tomblin, of the board, has a we'll
each at Mcdonald, in Rawlins county. at
Plainville, in Rocks county, and at Good
land, in Sherman county, all of them
successes.
Judge Frost has five wells located, one
at Kendall, in Hamilton county, and
another in the highlands at Dodge City,
in Ford county. Near Cimarron, in
Gray county, Judge Frost has well that
gives an inexhaustible supply of water
from depth of 81 feet. The deepest
we'll among those sunk by the state is at
Santa Fe, il Haskell county, which has
a depth of 281 feet At Ulysses, in
Grant county. on the highlands between
the two Cimarron rivers, an inexhaust-
able supply of water was found at a
depth of 231 feet.
One of the most surprising tests was
made by Judge Frost just north of Gar
den City last week. 1t was an artesian
we'll test. A two inch pipe was sunk to
a depth of ninety feet and in sunk hole
four feet below the surface flowed of its
own volition four feet of water per min
ute. Judge Frost added to it a four foot
pipe and with centrifugal pump sue
ceeded in getting a flow of twenty two
gallons per minute from the same pipe.
In some places the water underf1ow is
enormous. In Wichita county at the
we'll near Leoti the thickness of the vein
in Trego county the thickness was but
six feet.

they are lovely and can be suspended
from chandeliers or from stands made
to support them, only, if gas is used,
they should be removed Immediately
after meals to more congeniaI atInos-
phere. The water seeping through the
porous vessel drops slowly from time
10 time; hence it is necessary to keep
growing plants or some vessel under
meath to receive the water, or the fern
ball can be emptied before placing over
the table and filled again as soon as the
meal is over. and placed where the
dropping will do no damage. In green

house or veranda decoration they are

of care and attention they require is =
