Damming a Stream to Secure Ice.

Ventilation of Barns.

There have been noted many cases Of
barns without cellars when finished up
tight, where the roofs loaded up with
frost during protracted cold weather
to such extent as to work serious dam
age later to the hay stored beneath,
says the Maine Farmer. The stock are
continually throwing off moisture,
which at once rises to the highest point,
and finding no means of escape freezes
to the cold roof, and there accumulates
till q thaw. when it melts and falls on
the hay below. The barn cellar may in
crease the amount i'm small measure,
but is not the prime cause. The remedy
is obvious-give the moist air chance
to escape OF dry 1t out by draft Of air
through the barn loft both of which
processes are covered in the one word
ventilation. A ventilator OH the roof
corrects the difficulty ut once.

I am glad to feel assured that the ut
terances of the Topeka Methodist
preachers meeting do not fairly repre-
sent the sentiment of the great body
of the ministers in the state If it were
80, it would go far to justify the opin-
ion OF the politicians that conference
resolutions mean nothing, and that the
preachers can be whipped into line
when election time comes. and therefore
there is no need for paying any atten-
ton to their demands. Saloonists tell
the truth when they adopt resolutions
concerning the political policy they in
tend to pursue, but the preachers do
the other thing. This is the opinion
of the politicians, and so they disregard
our desires. Whether we deserve this
will be proven in the outcome of the
election. If the preachers vote for Nor
rin after all they have said about his
policy they deserve to be the laugh
ing stock of the politicians, and viii
merit the contempt of all good citizens

what he wanted, but he did not reply.
Then I called Mrs. West and she got up.
She sleeps in the next room. but she

a buggy close up under the window and
was standing in that.
when 1 found that the man would
not go away I called Jailer Jones. He
refused to go around to where the man

on him. l took a bucket of water and
threw it out OF the window The man
jumped down and ran away. I cannot

is suffering from a hallucination and
that there was no man under her win

FOR MARSHALL'S BAND.
Is to Have $500 Provided the Money
Can be Raised.

The matter of employing MarshalIs
band. for the Fall Festival was not set
tied until last night by the Committee
of Fifteen.
All the time it has been considered
that the band will play during the en-
tire week but the matter of paying it
has never been talked of. 1t must be
paid since it is the only band in the
state that is barred from the contest
A NJ. Baird, foTgetful of the fact that
the committee has already spent all
the money it has in sight and then
some. moved that $1,000 be set aside for
the band
This brought Tom Doran to his feet
with a proposition that looked better.
He said move this committee di-
vide itself into two blocks of five to So
Iicit the citizens of Topeka who have
not yet given to the Festival to give to
the hiring of the band. 1 believe We
can raise the money that way It is
the only way I see out.
MI GreenwaId-There is no use in
talking. We must have Marshalls
band.
Mr. Marshall and Mr.. Lescher, the
director and president of the band, are
members of the committee and were
asked for figures.
