The feature of the market yesterday
was the strength OF many Of the industrial

G. G. Cress Writes From London Of q
Missionary Journey.
To the Editor OF the Reflector:

To the Editor OF the Reflector
LONDON, March 23.-We arrived in
Liverpool late at night, March 10,
passed through Her Maiesty's royal
customs and were conveyed to Lon
don by a special train which is always
waiting on the docks to meet the
large ocean liners. The distance Of
2l6 miles was covered by a double
header pulling twenty coaches and
luggage vans in four hours. We
found the grass six inches high on
the parks and commons, flowers
blooming, vines creeping and peach
trees in full bloom. As we left New
York with six inches OF snow on the
streets, the contrast seemed remark
able.
Our party was joined here by W. J..
Hatherall, of Gretna, Neb., whose
destination is Johannesburg. We
sail from here via Canary islands to-
morrow on one of Donald Currie's
Castle line named the "Avondale
Castle" She is quite model boat of
$500 tons, fitted up especially for the
African trade. Part Of our party
land at Cape Town while the remain
der go on to Algo Bay (Pt. Elizabeth).
Through the kindness of Donald
Currie 4 Co., our party was given a
liberal reduction on our tickets, with
special accommodations all the way.
We wish to acknowledge the hand Of
God in our past and present benefits
and unreservedly trust in Him for
our future maintenance and blessing.
Though we were trihe seasick
crossing the Atlantic we felt no ser.
ious results but rather think it did us
good. At present we are all well and
in good spirits, anticipating a joyful
three weeks trip to the southern
climes. G. G, CREss.

Bully for Kansas.

There was a time when BLEEDING
Kansas" was supposed to do most Of
her bleeding with red ink, or at the
overstrained lungs Of her orators.
Kansas was ready at moments
notice provided the notice was never
served-to step down into Tennessee
or Mississippi and sponge those states
of the map with warm blood.
She was straining at the leash and
gritting her teeth in her frantic efforts
to get at midnight conspirators, octo.
puses and things and chew them up
raw; while the rest Of the country
laughed and poked iibing paragraphs
at her
But Kansas has proved although
it needed no proof that when it
comes to test she is Just like the
Others Of these United States OF Amer
lea. She is chick Of the Eagle and
a forty.iiith Of the Stars. When a
war came and there was real blood to
shed, Kansas was right alongside OF
Tennessee and Pennsylvania. No.
body but the Filipinos was surprised
when the Kansas regiment Saturday
swan the river and took the block
house which the insurgents had iorti-
fled and disguised as leper hospital.
The Filipinos don't know Kansas,
although some Of them are much bet
ter acquainted with her since she in
troduced herself to them Saturday. II
they had not been so ignorant they
would have seen no cause for aston.
ishment at Kansas conduct; they
would have understood that charging
a leper Hospital was a small matter to
the boys who think itnothing to light
into the Money Devil in his lair, and
that swimming rivers is trivial to
those who have been swimming in
gore ever since they quit swimming
in catnip and paregoric.-[Henry

Will Have a Big Lake.

The matter Of irrigation in western
Kansas attracted much attention at
the legislature and there was some
vigorous effort made to secure on the
part Of the farmers OF that section a
positive assurance Of enough water
from the Arkansas river to make
their crops sure. They want to fight
in the courts the inroads on Colorado
on the supply. Such permission has
been given them and they can issue
bonds for the purpose Of making the
| fund to carry on legal proceedings
larger.
But the most interesting feature Of
the irrigation efforts Of the state is the
artificial lake that is to be built in Bar
ton county covering the Cheyenne bot
toms, once the hunting grounds Of
the lovers Of coursing. This lake is
to be fed from the Arkansas river by
canal now practically completed.
1t will be thirty miles long and will
water some OF the best country in
that section on its course.
The Legislature condemned the
land in the bottom of the lake that Is
to be and now the water can be pour
ed in. The lake is the bottom OF an
ancient lake that has disappeared.
The entire surface is four to sixty feet
below the surrounding country and
the soil Of such a nature that it will
hold the water. When a cloud.burst
sent great mass Of water into it
some years ago it remained for
months, showing the impervious con-
dition Of the soil. This is counted on
to make the lake permanent.
When filled it will be drawn upon
to supply a large system Of irrigation
that will, it is believed, make fertile
half the county. Walks and drives
are to be laid out along the lake and
IL is believed that there can be made
here one Of the greatest pleasure re-
sorts in the West. OF course it all
depends on the Arkansas river which
may dry up just when it is most
needed-a habit it has.

still Aguinaldo will not give up at

First California. He was found in
the insurgent trenches, shot all to
pieces. He ought to have known bet
ter. II it had not been for the gun
boats we would have had hard time
of it. Their search lights just showed
us where they were and those not
killed in the trenches were killed IL

them, shells bursting and infantry
