The Beneficial Ditch.

Work on the ditch is progressing
finely and large amount of the work
is already done, A friend hands us
some points of advantages for enlarge
ment, but as they cover the whole
field so we'll, we print them as origin
ally written:
The great good and advantages ex-
pected to be derived from the propos-
ed ditch or water way which is
thought will keep the stage of water
in Lake Okabena up to depth of at
least seven feet, are:
1st, It will solve the uncertainty of
water supply of much better quail
,ity for Worthington and vicinity for
all time to come.
End, The water being of a good
quality and free from weeds will
make Lake Okabena headquarters
for ice supplies for a good portion of
Mobiles Co., and eventually as the ice
business increases, for a mncb great
er extent OF territory.
3rd, Often Of late years though a
low stage Of water and cold winters,
the fish in our beautiful lake have
we'll nigh been exterminated, but a
permanent depth of seven feet of wa:
ter their safety would be assured. .
4th, Another assured fact is, with
that depth to TYP in, steamboats, as
we'll as sail and row boats, already
here, would undoubtedly be put OF
the lake.
9Th, With the above added attrac
tions to the already noted Okabens
Lake, the increase Of tourists woul.
soon be 90 great that the opening ou
of the boulevard near the shore en-
tirely around the lake could not lone
be deferred .....

A Great Future.

AS others see our prosperou :,
county and progressive farmers who
are proud of it and always ready to
sound their praises:
THE editor passed Friday and
Saturday near Worthington, the
county seat of Mobiles county, Mimi.
This thriving town is situated in the
midst Of of productive farming
community and is making great
strides toward a bright and progress
sive future. The town has a popu-
sation of $500 and is built upon the
banks of a beautiful lake which ex-
tends four or tive miles to the south.

when once the half developed farm
lands reach nigh state of cultiva-
tion. Near this place and Rushmore
are located several O'Brien county
people, all doing we'll and farming.
Among them are John and Rudolph
Rohwer, Charley Voss and Henry
Drube. We had a short talk with
the latter and found him very en-
thusiastic in his praises of Mobiles
county crops this year. Louie An

Last From Fort Smelling.
CAMP SMELLING. Sept. IL, g

The Fifteenth regiment has at las
received orders to move, and every.
body is getting ready to make the
change. We are now booked to leave
Tuesday, but it may be the last of the
week before we get started. All of
the boys are glad of the change and
are eagerly looking forward to it.
The run of typhoid fever has been
checked, the new cases now being few
and far between. Our boys in the
hospitals are getting along finely,
with the exception of Andrew Bige.
low, who is still very sick. :.
Since my last letter there have been
two deaths in our company. Joseph
Moffitt, of Lakefeld, and George L.
Michael, of Bigelow, died within "a
hours of each other. The remains OF
Moffitt were sent to his parents home
in Burchard, Neb. The remains of
Michael we're laid to rest in the Fort
Smelling military cemetery with mill
tary honors performed by Company
H. Corporal Cook, a minister of Co.
A, conducted tho services. Rev. Bull
of the Methodist church of Worth
ington, was present, and spoke few
words in memory of the departed
soldier.
Yesterday the regiment took part
in parade and sham battle on the
state fair grounds. The battle was
conducted in the same as would be
done in real warfare except that blank
cartridg ges were used. It was the
Fifteenth's first smellaof powder, and
the boys went through it in frst-class
style, without shooting an ear off of
anybody.
Our company. now has about IS
men for duty. The remainder are sick
in the hospitals or absent on sick fur
loughs. Those who are left behind
when we leave will follow as soon as
their health permits.
Camp Meade, Pa, where we move
to, from all accounts is one of the
best camps in the country, We will
probably not be kept there long, but
will be sent to Cuba to do garrison
duty.
We do very little drilling now, but
we manage to keep at something
about all the time. Our company has
purchased base ball outfit, foot
ball pair of boxing gloves, the last
of which is the cause of several sore
faces.
My next letter wilt probably be
from Pennsylvania, and in that will
endeavor to describe our trip and our
new home.

To THE ED1ToR:-

ing you may find it worthy a place
in your paper. have been here re-
ceiving instruction the last couple Of
years and wish to do all can to des-
seminate these principles, and if you

nish them occasionally for the sake
of sharing with others what / have
learned.
+ To the readers of the A d IN e.:
As my mind reverts to early child
hood, spent on the prairies of Mobiles
county, memory pictures to my
mind that expanse of rolling prairie
covered with waving grass, broken
only here and there by the evidences
Of human enterprise, in the scattered
shomesteada and fields. of grain That
picture presents quite contrast to
the sickly settled, rugged sandy hills
OF Southern Michigan, where I am
at present. 80 ''~.-.-.. :.
I know Mobiles county is no more
Wild prairie country. From nv
memory of how good school houses
were built all over the county and
the fine school building in Worth
ington. I know the people were pro-
gressive in educational lines also.
Therefore take the liberty of writ
ing something about the principles
of the sanitarium in Battle Greek.
The great undercurrent that gives
force to what would otherwise be
theory is the law of cause and effect.
When a person is sick there is a
cause, and one cannot be permanent.
y we'll until the cause ia removed
and nature, ever ready to make re-
pairs is given a ohance to work. We
may assist nature by CAREFUL atten-
ton to exercise and good material to
work with. such as. plenty of fresh
lair and wholesome and nourishing
diet, fol-. as some one says, eve are
made of'what we eat"

ed than a person with both mental
and physical culture, and how much

| The ancient Greeks understood
that when they left for us the terae
expression, "A sound mind in a
sound body"
Those: who have given the subject
much thought tell us that modern
life is making invalids and dyspec-
tics of us. What is the reasons II
is not because af the intellectual ad.
vancement we have made, because
exercise of tho mind is normal

KANSAS POPS HAVE A SCHEME FOR
GETTING THEIR SALARIES.

Shortage Grew Out of Childish Lesis-
lation by the Last LeEislature-
Pop Scheme May Leave Re-
pubIfcans I'm Bad
Shape.

TOPEKA, Dec. 7.-(Special.) At con-
day, it was practically agreed to pay the
deficiencies in the salaries of a number of
state officials for the fiscal year ending
June 80 last out of the appropriations FOR
the present fiscal year. The Pops claim
they have a precedent IN the action Of
State Auditor Cole under the Morrill, admin
istration paying deficiencies of the men,
bers of the state board of charities one
year out of the appropriations for the fol-
lowing year. Cole did this in compliance
with written opinion rendered by Attor-
ney General Dawes. At that time the Pops
made great howl about it, but now they
are figuring on doing the same thing.
Two years ago the Pop legislature thought
ii reduced salaries of several state Off
GERS, but II didn't. Instead of changing the
laws governing the amount of salaries, the
legislature let the laws stand and reduced
the appropriations. In other words the
state is now in the attitude of hiring these
men at given salaries, and then refusing
TO pay them a portion of their dues. The
officials drew according TO law instead of
according to appropriation. For that reas-
on, there is deficiency. ~
The deficiency in salaries for the last
fiscal year aggregated $500 BY the time
the Pops go out of office, it will be 81. 49,
for the first fiscal year and the first half OF
the current fiscal year.
The opinion rendered by Dawes was to
the effect that a warrant was an evidence
OF Indebtedness against the state, and that,
IL the appropriation had run short one
year, then the warrant should be paid out
of the appropriation the next fiscal year.
