Watering Sheen.

With dry weather it is essential that
sheep of all kinds should have at hand
a liberal supply OF clean water for
drinking purposes. says Farmer and
Stockbreeder. Some think that sheep
do not require Aater. but this is a
most erroneous notion. Sheep. like
most dcmesticated animals, require a
certain amount of liquid, and though,
in wet weather, or when on roots, ETC.,
they need but very little. they even
then do better with supply at han1.
On the ether hand, when the weather
is dry, and the food containing little
or no moisture, it is imperative that a
supply should be at hand where 1t can
be used at will, and then no harm can
or will result. But 1t is necessary to
remind one that if thirsty and parchei
sheep are driven to the water, in
either pond or brook, great care must
be taken that they DO not get too
much; this danger never arises when
the supply is always open to them, for
they will only take that which they
require. An important point. too, Is
that the water should be fresh and
sweet, not stagnant or stale. but the
latter is far preferable to none. The
triaing cost that may be incurred in
providing the water will be found to
be far and away paid for by the great
er increase in weight of the sheep. II

The Eve Lambs.-The feeding OF
the eve lambs that are to furnish the
new material for the flock should be
liberal in every sense Of the word.
Feel them literally on oats, and see
that they get the best rasturage that
it is possible to secure for them, and
It will be found surprising how lus.y
they will grow during the first nine
months of their lives. More can be
done By literally feeding the eve
lambs. to secure weight Of both body
ard fleece in the flock. than by any
other course that might be adopted.
Il is evlaent in the size and weight
of the fleece: and, after the eve lambs
have been literally fed during the first
year, it is hardly possible to check their
growth afterwards. as they then pos
sess the power to do for themselves to
. greater degree.-Ex.

THE KANSAS GAS BELT.

Prof. s. q. swsrtz Says II Is the Greatest on
the American Continent.
From The Kansas City Journal
Professor s. G. Swartz, an attache
of the department of geology of the
state of New York, and distinguish
ed student geology researches, was in
Kansas City yesterday on his way
east, after visit to Eastern Kan
sas and western Missouri. The main
object Of hi visit was to make a per-
sonal investigation Of the great Kan
sas gas belt, and he spent some time
at lola, where he quietly persued a
minute study of the big gas wells OF
that section.
81 found that tremendous How
has been developed in many places
all over the field, )" said the professor
to reporter for the journal, at the
Union depot yesterday, land strong
indications of the longevity of the
supply. In fact, it seems to be UNI
limited and the power of the wells is
rather increasing than decreasing.
There is an abundance of gas in Kan
sas and 1 am persuaded to believe
that you have here in the west the
most powerful If not the largest
field on the continent. Every indi-
cation points that way and 1 have
made careful investigation.
Professor Swartz said that his visit
was prompted by personal desire for
scientific knowledge, but he would
not deny that he was sent here by
capitalists who are looking for invest
ment in the west and were skeptical
as to the bona fide existence in the
Sunflower state Of gas field more
valua BILE than that of either Indiana
or Ohio. If he was sent here on a
mission of that kind his report will
not result in any injury to the gas
section, which is holding. out every
inducement for the location Of manu-.
featuring institutions, and the invest
ment of capital.

EpiscopaI Notes.

Although the members Of st. Tim

the Sunday School Superinten dent

THE TRAIL OF THE SARPINT.
Some of the Reasons Why Wings Do
Not Grow on Printers Devils.

There are great many people who
think that printers are woree than
other white folks and that one boy is
called the "devil' in an office because
he is the worst in conglomeration of
very bad, This OF course, is not true
o. al, but that the boys are even
II, bly, decent lie greatly to their
/ CIR 4.
Aside from the wiles of local
beauties, the printer gets reached
from distance. Last fall q box of
grapes which the boys bought to re-
fresh their psrched throats, dis
covered card at the bottom stating
that Miss -, packed those
grapes, somewhere back in Ohio.
The gang burned the card-not in
ignorance but in virtuous willfulness.
A few weeks later one Of the boys
got some crackers and found written
in lead pencil across its white surface:
"Miss Gertie Mcintyre, Kansas City,
Mo-, care Mount Cracker Co. Age 16
years. Write soon" With "geti
thee behind me-S Satan" look the recip-
lent of this trusting youthful appeal
brought the tell-tale cracker in and
laid IL on the EDITORS table.
In all the long list of temptations
resisted, there is only one lapse from
asceticism. One of the boys in the
Office is Pearl Knapp. The office gets
q box of news plates frequently and
in these are sheets of card board. In
an idle moment, one of the other boys
wrote the name "Pearl Knapp, lola,
Register" on one Of these card boards
and it was shipped with the box back
to Kansas City. Its next trip was to
Abilene, Kans., and in due time here
came q cute little love letter from a
print in the Reflector Office to "Miss''
Pearl Knapp. The boys had a good
laugh and kept the correspondence up
to the melting point among them, but
finally tired and quit.
Truly the devil is not as black as he
is painted.

A NEW CROP AT LaHARPE.
Instead Of Grains, Roofs and Dwellings are
Being Raised.

Instead Of Grains, Roofs and Dwellings are
Being Raised.
In LaHarpe proper great activity is
being shown. -Four or five new frame
store buildings'are going up on the
main street and several new houses
in the town. Capt. Travis has lum-
Der yard in full operation and has
half dozen men unloading lumber.
Mr.. Baker, the lumber dealer at
Mound City, has lumber yard start
ed just north of the railroad on the
main street. All over town gas
mains are being laid and connections
made.
At the new smelter everything is
on the rush. One switch holds
string of freight cars, and another
has been graded out back of works.
The pottery room is enclosed, two FUR
mace houses are in the frame stage
and half a dozen other big buildings
are visible in some stage of erection.
Four long trenches indicate where the
| blAOhlhO lOdbN VIII no anu u
gang of men are working on No. at
present. The engine room contains
several huge engines which will
drive the wheels of industry.
The funny part Of the whole scene
is the new town. In forty acre
corn field, scattered among the corn
stocks, without apperent streets,
seemingly at rand ON, new houses to
the number of twenty or more are GO
ing up. The purpose is to cover the
whole field so that the Palmer Oil Co.
cannot drill wells and hence the
houses are widely scattered, no two
being within 800 feet of each other.
A two story hotel is nearly completed
and rears its head majestically above
the mud and stocks of the corn field.
A quarter of mile north of the smell
ter a small town of dozen tents pro-
tects the workmen until the new
houses are ready for occupancy. 1t
all looks like huge joke. but money
is flowing like water into the hurried
preparations for the operation of one
of the greatest industrial centers of
the state.
Two derricks on the town sight in
dictate where two new gas wells are
nearly done, and a huge pond that
will back water nearly half a mile
shows where the water supply will
come from. A third derrick was be-
gun yesterday right in the center of
the resident portion of the corn field,
within stone throw of the new hotel.
And when the drill gives its first
chug into the earth, down will come
an injunction with the canyons be.
hind it ana the Palmer Oil Co. in
front of it. The Oil Company's lease
Gays something about not drilling
within 800 feet of q house, hence the
precipitate haste Of the canyons to
get house on every 300 square feet.
The derrick is begun and the war be-
tween the canyons who have several
millions to bury and the Palmer Oil
Co. with eight or ten millions to burn,
will be on when the drill starts.
A bout hundred men are at work
on the whole place and they seem to
be doing all that is necessary. \
good many of them are lola carpen-
tiers, masons and contractors, while
some of the workmen are pickups and
men with top boots are seen vainly
trying to drive nails into houses, who
could run plow all over the root
easily.
It's mighty hard to look at it all
and not laugh, and yet it's no joke.

BRING YOUR KICK TO HEADouAR-
TIERS.

BRING YOUR KICK TO HEADQUAR-
For a good many years we have
made it practice to be absolutely
frank with our friends. If they
promised to do something for us and
then did not do 1t, instead of declar-
ing them to be liars and hypocrites
we went and reminded them of their
promise. II we wanted a favor of
them we went frankly and asked
them for it. If some talebearer
brought story to us that friend
had said or done something to iDjure
US, we went strsightway to that
friend and asked him about it. And
the result of this line of action has
been to save us lots of friends that
would have been lost by an opposite
policy.
And the policy that we follow to.
ward our friends, we very much wish
them to follow toward US. 1t is and
has always been the settled determi-
nation of this paper to treat every
man fairly, to speak the truth at all
times, to do everything it can to adj
vance the intel ests of lola and to
promote the happiness and prosper
ity of every citizen. If 1t fails in any
of these things it does it through
oversight or ignorance or misinform-
alton and never by deliberate
intention. x Hence If any man ever
thinks he is treated unfairly by
this paper, or if anything which
is not the truth appears in
these columns; or If something
is said or not said to the detriment OF
the town or of any individual citizen,
the only thing necessary to have it all
made right is to bring the facts to this
office, and such action will be regard.
ed as favor and not an offense. A
great many people, we are aware, are
difiident about asking a newspaper tc
say anything about matter that con
Germs them personally. and yet will
be grievously offended If the mention
is not made, although the paper may
never have found the facts or may mo-
have known that mention was desir
ed. The REGISTER has just Learned
of case that happened three month";
ago of exactly that kind. For three
months certain citizen has held {
grudge against the paper because
purely by oversight 1t did not write VI
q matter In which he was interested
1t Is too late now to correct 1t, but l
the man had come in the day tn,
oversight occurred the writeup woulC
have been given with the creates
pleasure and everybody concerne,
would have been better Off.
The moral of these brief remarks 1
that you should always take you
kick to headquarters. II you thinl
your merchant has cheated you go t.
him and find out about it; don't stsn'
around on the corners and say tina
Jones is thief. II you hear tina
your friend has misrepresented you
