The highest claim Cherryvale ever
made for any of her gas wells was
8 1000, 900 and yet when her people go
away from home aud get the fever in
their veins and start out to tell a
good story they don't let little
thing like the truth spoil the point.
Like the man in the story book they
mean all right, but "have an imped-
iment to their veracity." So the
other day a prominent citizen got
himself interviewed over at Pittsburg
as given below, and all the REGISTER
has to say lie that If 6,0000 600 is the
pot, lola raises 100000 and is ready
and anxious to be called. Here is
the gentleman's dream:
More excitement was caused in Cherryvale
last Friday over the striking or strong flow
OF gas Ia wen that was being sunk by another
company who have been working since the
other well was opened mp about month ago
While the flow of this well Is not quite as
strong as the other one. II is stronger than
those at lola, so it is claimed. ON accoun, OF
the two gas finds Cherryvale is beginning ia

Of Ever Going TO war.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.
The South Dakota battalion and
its recruits went aboard the ST. Paul
yesterday aud today and Will sail to-
morrow for the Philippine islands
The papers this morning state that
the 18th call will be the next regiment
to go. Ofcourse this announcement
is not Official, but it is generally be-
lieved that they will go as no effort
is being spared by the state at the
war department.
Although it is very hard for us to
do, we drill hard and entertain very
little hopes of going to the front at
this late date unless things take
different turn. Col. Funston is right
in saying that Kansas will stay here
If merit is not considered above po-
litical pulls. A well drilled regi.
ment is what it takes to make
strong regiment, and If actual SER
vice were required, they would soon
realize that they had better taken a
little drilling along with the back
woods" boys from the east. | only
hope that the hard drilling we are
getting is to be put to some actual
use before long, for all would dislike
to believe that the officers are just
trying to see how far we could go be-
fore killing us.
Yesterday, Quarter Master Ser
geant Young was put under arrest
charged with embeZzlement of Gov
eminent goods, and selling supplies
given for the boys by the Red
Crosse. Last night he confessed
his guilt, and will be sentenced to the
penitentisry-the boys hope for life
and twenty years. Many are the
short rstions the boys have received
at his petit larceny hands, and to-
morrow we will be compelled to live
on bread and coffee.
NOTES.
The boys request me to say that
ID. w. Bostwick may procure a scytht
and mower by applying to Co. l rather
than have the "only son" let the jot
go unfinished. The grass is all dead
on tie drill grounds so grass or weed

When the boys return each soldier
will ship home a car of sand so he viii

What a lot of fun we will hav,

Card from DIR. Hodges.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In Sundays issue / find an article UNI
der the caption OF ''Dr. Hodges and the
Streets" signed by the president Of the
Board of Health of this city. 1t appears
to be in reply to an article published IN
another Of the daily papers on "the
condition of the streets" in which arti-
Gle the reporter gives an interview with
me. With my opinions, as expressed in
that article, DR.. Oppenhimer seems to
take issue, and if may lpdge from his
letter, thinks that l reflected on his de-
partment.
In reply, / wish distinctly to say that
no such opinion was expressed by me to
the reporter, and / do not believe the
reporter intended to convey any such
meaning, for in our conversation no
reference was made as TO who was re-
sponsible for the existing state Of af-
fairs. l have never seen the article In
question. but l have no reason TO believe
that ] was incorrectly reported, although
l did not know at the time that a speci-
fic report of my conversation would be
made. As to the questions of scientific
import involved, l do not care 10 discuss
them in a newspaper controversy, nor
do ! feel that it is especially incumbent
on me to take the Doctors advice and
use my "eloquence TO persuade our city
fathers to be more muniicent in their
annual donations"

mon with myself would appreciate the

NapoIeOn's Prophecy.


The Napoleonic prophecy that Europe
would in fifty years be either republican
or Cossack has not been fulfilled, but. per-
haps, IT is only belated. 1t would be
sanguine to CLAIM that republicanism is
making very rapid progress in Europe,
but, perhaps. If we should give the I'm
perial prophet fifty years OF grace, we
might see a possibility of his other alter
native being realized. The development
of Siberia and the building CT the great
Trans Siberian railway. which add so
much 90 the Russian power, are familiar
facts. but less attention has been drawn
TO another Russian project which, II
completed will even further disturb the
balance of power in Europe.
This is the proposed ship canal which
by connecting the Dwina with Dnieper,
will give the Russian navy clear cham
mel of twenty-eight feet from the Gulf OF
Riga to the Black Sea. and thus enable
Russia to outfiank all Europe on the
right and left The steadiness OF Russian
growth is as remarkable as its rate Of ad-
vance during the fifty years since the last
resultless attempt was made 10 check IL
by the Crimean war.

THEIR GRAVES ARE CARED FOR.
An Interesting Letter on the Subject
from Wisconsin.

The following letter is self-explanatory:
Madison, WIS.
My Dear Mrs. Randolph: The letter
addressed to Commander of Grand Army
Post was handed to me, and after COL
lecting some data l hasten to respond
10 your inquiries. Your letter states there
are lS graves in our cemetery. l correct
that by saying 1873. There is only one
unknown You will see by the enclosed
notes in lead pencil that these graves
have been cared for by one whom we ali
loved and honored for her loving care
OF graves of brave men Of the Southland.
In your circular you speak OF their
shvering in the cold blasts OF our north
ern winter, but let me assure you that
they were kindly cared for whilst held
here as prisoners Of war. Thank God they
did not suffer as many prisoners or
war" did. "Your dead" rest In a beau
tiful spot, and each "Memorial-Day
their graves are covered with beautlfui
blossoms, scattered by the hands Of our
old veterans. / know whereof / speak,
for during the past eleven years l have
been active as a member Of the Woman's
Relief Corps i'm attending to receiving and
arranging flowers for this day. and L
know that no matter now scarce the
blossoms may be lowing to a late sea-
SOM, the graves OF those who wore the
gray must not be neglected. A little
space OF ground separates the Confederate
dead from Soldiers Rest" where sleep
some Of or soldiers and their orphans.
On this piece of ground has been erected
a platform, and here we often hold our
memorial services, and never, ] think,
has the speaker OF the occasion failed
to bear tribute to the bravery of those
who gave up their lives for the cause we
speak Of as 1.-THE Lost Cause" Years have
passed since that great struggle took
place Let us thank God that to-day we
can clasp hands across that field OF car
mage, and each OF us render mutual ala
and sympathy TO each other as we seek
to commemorate the memory of those
who gave so freely for the cause they
loved. I think that neat stone markers
will be needed at each grave as those
placed by Mrs. Waterman are of wood,
painted white and lettered in black. The
stone coping around the lot cost this lady
about 5000. / know your organization VIII
not fail to have a fitting memorial 10
this woman. the last OF her race, VINO
sleeps to-day beside her boys. Since 1888
her home was with an old soldier, who
carries an empty sleeve. He took her back
and forth in his carriage TO her labor
amongst those graves Gladly would ne
have buried her in his own lot but her
request to rest beside her southern boys
was complied with Now. If I can in any
way assist you in your work here, | Will
gladly do so. My husband IA Union
veteran and am a member OF the aux
iliary to the Grand Army OF the Republic.
and because we are we enter into the
feelings that prompt the Daughters or
the Confederacy to push forward the
work of marking the graves Of their
dead.
Sincerely yours.

A LADY FRIEND.
A striking fact brought out by the re-
cent meeting Of the National Prison AS
ISOLATION in Austin, Tex, was the great
difference in the attitude of the United
States and that Of Texas towards crimi-
nails 1t is true that the United States
has now one prison Of its own. under
an admirable warden. j. w. French. at
Fort Leavenworth, where business
methods are adopted and politics play no
mart: but that by no means cares for
ALI Federal prisoners. There Is no room
for them in the Fort Leavenworth prison.
The others are scattered in State prisons
IN Missouri, Ohio Massachusetts,. and
elsewhere. Many are I'm jails, and the
sickenine stories OF the abominable way
in which they are crowded into the jails
in the Indian Territory. left TO lie in NTH
and wretchedness, young and old To-
gather In one common room, MAKE one
blush for the government of a country
which can permit such things. The
worst part OF il is that there Is little
Indication OF reform In this direction,
although the facts have been known 70
the authorities for a long time. On the
other hand Texas, a comparatively youns
State. with a long and rough border-line,
stands far ahead OF the general govern
ment. With prison population OF about
forty-seven hundred. II has excellent laws
relating 10 prison affairs, and little by
little is shaking of the lease system.
one half of the convicts are within
nrlson walls and under judicious care,
Nothlpg can make the lease system any
thing less than blot upon common
wealth. but II was not necessary for
northern prison reformers to preach
against It, Nothing could have been
stronger than the vehement denunciation
of this system by Judge Henderson, OF
TEXAS. And he did not speak 10 empty
benches. A vast audience OF Texas peo-
ME assembled 10 hear him, and evidently
svmuathized with his views. 1t certainly
looks now as II Texas would have all her
conyicts in proper keeping, discipline. ana
under wise education. manual ana acade-
mic, long before the United States awakes
10 rs duty In this regard.
prison discipline was discussed at great
length at the Congress. II was inter-
esting 10 note that the wardens Oh tne
best prisons absolutely prohibit the lash:
the paddle the rawhide, or any form Oh
whipping. Yet there were rev men
