THE LECTURE.
Large Audience and a Respectful Hear
Ing Given the Noted Lecturer.

Kloski's opera house was filled
by an enthusiastic and appreciative
audience last night. when DIR.
Wolverton appeared on the stage
and introduced Rev. Sam p Jones,
who was announced to lecture on
the subject, Get There and Stay
There" In less time than it
takes to tell it the speaker had got
well into his subject. and it seemed
that he stayed in the very midst of
it for more than an hour and n
half A synopsis of the lecture
would fall so far short of the leg
ture itself in every way that it
would convey to the reader but a
very meager suggestion of it. The
lecturer tone, his manneriSmS.
| his facial expressions, his poses
and every other item that goes to
make up a successful platform
speaker are wholly unlike those of
all the other speakers You ever
heard. BY the employment of
these peculiar characteristics Sam
Jones can stand before an audience
of any number of people and use
the plaineSt illustrations and his
words will be construed just as he
expects them to be. But if many
of his homely illustrations with
which he made such telling hits
in last nights lecture were put in
print, word for word, but
stripped of all the speakers pecul-
iarities, expressions, etc, they
would shock many who applauded
their utterances last night. One
just can't misunderstood nor mis-
construe anything Sam Jones says.
His strike from m-the-shoulder style
would i'll become a blackguard, for
plain speech is the weapon of wise
and pure men. His delivery is
pleasing Stan1ing clad in an or
binary business suit, one hand
drumming on the table beside him
or emphasizing some Of his quaint
aud earnest illustrations and the
other buried a foot deep in the
pocket of his striped trousers, he
spoke with the ease and with the
air of a man deeply interested in
his discourse. His voice was pitched
in an ordinary conversational tone,
but all could hear. Every Senti-
ment expressed was echoed 10y the
majority of his hearers, except
when he left the main subject to
deliver brief philippe against the
system of public or free schools
Just here the speaker was almost
alone, and he was quick to see it.
and very soon got back on hi,
original track and in two minute,
every free school advocate was
roaring with laughter at some OF
the speaker humor.
The discourse might be denomi
: mated sermon, since it resembleC
nothing else so much. The diff
ference was that, being named ;
lecture, the audience felt at liberty
to clap hands and laugh out loud
if they wished. There was littl
choice on this score. for Sam Jones
shafts of sarcasm, wit and humO
will penetrate the heaviest coat o
dignity anyone could don. Tn
inclination to laugh and applau,
is irrepreSSible. He has the abil
ity. one would almost conclude. t.
n disperse the blues from an indig
t bag
: The lecture summed mp wa
t simply an eXhortation to do right
be honest and live a pure life
This was his recommendation T
the rising generation. BY pun
suing this course every man ca
get there and stay there.

showing the distribution of the alkali
salts and saepage water.
There are immense tracts of valu-
able and hitherto productive land in
the irrigated sections OF the west
which have been ruined by alksli, re-
sulting from over irrigation, and the
damage is still going on. The value
can hardly be overestim at g d, it is said
They show just where the seepage
waters and alkalt salts are accumula-
ting, from which direction they are
coming and how drainage system
should be introduced to remove the
trouble. Theys will show that some
areas are safe for number of years
and will indicate other areas which
will need careful attention or even
energetic efforts in the prevention of
or reclamation from damage.
INVESTIGATIONS IN THE YELLOW.
STONE VALLEY.
The results of the Investigations
mad in the Yellowstone Valley last
summer by Professor Whitney and
Mr.. Means show that the ultimate
source of the alkaH is in the sandstone,
and particularly in the shale or slate
rock from which the soils have been
derived. Before irrigation was intro
duced the salts were present in large
amounts, but we'll distributed
throughout the soil and not
in such large quantities as
to be injurious to crops. The injury
is due entirely to over-irrigation, to
the translocation and over accumula-
ton of salts by means OF seepage wat
ers and to the imperfect drainage fac
ilities in the compact gumbo soils and
the inability of soils to remove the ex-
cess of salts and of seepage waters
The first trouble appears to be due to
the seepage waters.
The Investigations point clearly to
the natural methods of preventing this
injury and of retaining the lands
when the injury has occurred.

Fearful Tortures.

For many years was teacher IN
Afghanistan, and during my stay IN
that country was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
Of torture. Here is one they use in the
case Of women to extract testimony.
1t consists in prying off the finger
nails by means Of small chisel or
bradawl, which Is showed in slowly
but firmly from the finger tip down
ward under the quick Of the nail, which
is then lifted up and out.
This Is another that l once saw used
in the case Of small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, so
that the sticks crushed into the bones.
So much for women and children.
Here Is method of eliciting informa-
ton from an unwilling man: The cul-
prit is stripped to the waist, and then
boiling oil is flicked on to his back.
This seldom fails to find the mans
tongue.
The above are the chief forms of
"fahana," or torture, for the purpose
Of eliciting information, but 1t must
be stated that such infections as
nipping Of noses, tearing out tongues
or splitting eyeballs do not come under
the heading of "fahana,' they being
punishments rather than tortures.-

pass and, thinking she did not under
stand French, made few audible OBJ

she had been kindly helping strangers
