poses and says: That for about three
years prior to September, 1898, his halr

time thereafter his hair ceased to IAN
out and began to thicken; that he con-

Simply because you have never seen IL

Sea at the Gas Well
Great interest is now taken in. the well
and without doubt the hole will be open

evening.
At 3 o'clock yesterday the drill was
down to a depth of 1875 feet, or only %
feet from the interesting point, and
every indication was pointing to a new
and valuable find. Some oil is still to
be found upon the water and everything
is hopeful in the extreme.
Wichita appears to have entered upon
a new plane and everything is looking
/ better than a few weeks past. The
Frisco railroad is now doing business
separate from the Santa Re, Mr.. Gray
having opened his office in the Fech-

covered beyond any controversy and
now the prospects are exceedingly en-
couraging for either oil or gas. 1t is a
long lane that has no turn and all

TAKE MARTIN,S VIEW.

Topeka, Kan, March 27!The SUI
preme court of Montana has passed on a
question similar to the one raised in the
Kansas supreme court in the mortgage
redemption case.
After quoting Chief Justice Martin ;
opinion in the latter case at some length
and referring to recent case in Oregon,
the court says: Cordially concurring
as we do, with the decisions of the Kan
sas and Oregon courts, and finding our
reason for such concurrence in the same
United States supreme court cases dis
cussed by them, and they having so
thoroughly occupied the field before We
reach it, il would seem TO be an affec-
ton of original research 10 write az

The court then holds that the extern
sion of the time for redemption from six
months TO a year applies to mortgages
made prior TO the enactment OF the stat
ute.

Acre on an Average Nearly Thirty Dol
lars. Despite the Railroads Opinions as
to the Best Mode of Planting the Maize
Other Statistics.
Topeka, Kan. March 27.-The state
board Of agriculture, by its secretary,
T. D. Coburn, today issued its first
quarterly report for 1886. It is in book
form consisting of 252 pages. The first
112 pages are devoted 10 Indian corn,
its cultivation, handling, utilization,
cost and value from a Kansas stand
point. The second part is devoted to a
discussion Of sorghums, saccharine and
non saccharine, including Kafir and
Jerusalem corn, for grain and forage.
The third part contains the address
delivered at the boards quarter centen-
NAL meeting in January
In regard 10 corn, the report shows
that the average annual yield since 1861
thirty-four years, bad seasons and good
has been q bushels per acre for the
entire state, ranging in different years
from to As 40 bushels. The product
for twenty-five years ending with 1885
has had an annual home value averag-
ing more than S31, 900, 600 and a total
value in that time exceeding SIG, 600, 900.
Secretary Coburn presents a detailed
showing from siXty-eight longtime
growers, in fOrty-five counties, which
last year produced 1000, GOO bushels,
giving from their experience ION such
a basis as others can safely accept"
each principal item of cost in growing
and cribbing an acre of corn, estimat-
ing the yield at 40 bushels. About two
thirds of those reporting prefer plant
ing with listers, and the others use the
better known check row method, after
the land has been plowed and narrowed.
The statements of all the growers
summed up, average and itemized show
the cost Of raising an acre of corn in
Kansas as follows:

There is, moreover, n system of conscrlp-

be carried out In every part of the empire
1t is based on the military system of Ger.
many, for since the last Turco-Itussian
war the army of the Porte has been en-
tirely reorganized by German officers,
who naturally adopted the plan prevailing
in their own country, and with which
they were most familiar. The military
system consists of the Nizam, or regular
army, two classes of Redifs, or Land
wehr, and the Mustatiz. answering to tha
Landsturm of Prussia. At the annual
conscription the ranks of the regular
army are supposed TO be filled by the men
Of the levy, who must serve six years with
the regular army ana FIRST reserve. They
then pass into the second reserve, to be
called out only ON emergencies. Here
they remain eight years, subjected to an
nual drill at their homes, then become
members of the third reserve for six
years longer, thus passing twenty years,
either i'll the army or In one of the re-
serves. This is the system and, in work
ing order, it would furnish the Govern
ment with an army, in time of war, cf
nearly 100000 men. But, like every
thing else in Turkey, theory is one thing

matter of fact, there are very few districts
where the system has been put in run
ming order, and none where the conscripts
of the year do not buy exemption from
service whenever they are able to do so.
In one case in Il military district near
Smyrna, the population made a contract
with the enrolling officers that, in con-
sideration of lump sum, paid down in
cash, the district should be exempt. The
money was paid, and the conscripting
officers returned fictitious rolls, and went
back, rich and contented, to Constanti-
nople. In another, the conscripting Off
Ger was prevailed on to enroll the popu-
lation of the prisons; in a third all the
beggars and poverty stricken wretches
to be found in the district were entered
as conscrpts, while the ablebodied men
escaped.

the wind and sun soon melt the cover
ing of snow and rapidly dry the tim
bers, until by July l the lumber in the
sheds is as dry as powder.
The forty miles of sheds are constant
ly patrolled by men selected for that
purpose. Each mans beat is less than
three miles long, and is so arranged that
he passes over II a short time in ad-
vance of every train. Situated at dis
tances of mile apart throughout the
entire length of shed guarded track are
placed unlocked electrical call boxes sim

face of these are inscribed the words

four alarm boxes, which are kept lock
ed These are used exclusively for fire.
When an alarm is rung in on one of
these a gong strikes the number of the
box in Sacramento, 100 miles away,
and on the different points where the
fire trains are situated.
In 1877, j. A. Fillmore. general super
intendent of the Southern Pacific, had
occasion to rcprimand Johnny" Fitz-

A few weeks later Mr. Fillmore hap
pened to be at the Summit when an
alarm was rung in from Emigrant Gap,
twenty-five miles away. He thought he
would like to make the run, and so he
boarded the engine. Johnny" saw his
opportunity and determined to make
the most of it. AS soon as the words

pulled out, and throwing the throttle
wide open let her go. In less time than
1t takes to tell it, the train was running
mile q minute. Open places in the
sheds hundred yards in extent seemed
little more than flashes of light and the
Cascade bridges We're crossed with
such speed that the train seemed to
leap them, as greyhound does a fence.
Mr.. Fillmore sat perfectly still, except
that once or twice he asked the en-
gineer to test his air. In twenty-three
minutes they had made the run of
twenty-five miles, and when Johnny
turned to look at the superintendent,
expecting to get ripping up the back,
Mr.. Fillmore said cheerily, That's the
