PUMPING WATER INTO THE BARN.
difficult job, and the results are often
worth a great deal during a single
winter even. The pump can be low
cred again for summer use if desired,
setting the elevated platform away
for use again the following winter.
Few realize what an immense amount
of animal heat land therefore feed
and milk is wasted when cows are
turned out to watering place on
cold day in winter. The animals come
in shivering, their backs rounded up
with the cold and every hair standing
on end It takes an hour at least be-
fore they feel comfortable again. I'm
der such conditions the best results in
dairying cannot be secured. Where
water can be run into the barn in
the way suggested, it will, on stand
ing awhile, acquire the temperature
of the barn, being then much more
suitable for cows to drink, while the
latter will also be saved the, exposure
to cold winds.-N. Y. Tribune.

SLEPT ON A LAWN.

A Mlser. Probably Insane, Sleeps Out
Doors Though He Has Money,
Saturday afternoon the police took
under their wing one Solomon, an ancient
Jew. whom they found lying on the lawn
of Jacob Faus' home. He was taken to
Jail. A week or two before this man
was found sick and cold one night at the
Electric Light works, where be had gone
to warm himself against the boilers. He
was given bed and breakfast and turn
ed out. At that time he had consider
able money upon his person but his
clothing was an abomination. This
time he had only one shoe and his black
bundle Of clothes were fit for junk
shop. All the same he had s3I in his
pockets.
A Camera reporter called on him in
the Jail this morning at the invitation of
Marshal Knapp. He was sitting on his
bed, beside him was the plate containing
pork chop and some bread. Being
Jew, it was plainly evident why the chop
was untouched, but there was no appar-
ent reason for pr. judice against the
bread. He had eaten little or nothing.
When asked why the "confounded Of
icers" had arrested him. he replied,
That's the question" When told they
had no business to keep him in Jail, he
answered slowly, That's the question"
When told the reporer's desire was 10
get him out of there, he said, That's the
question" The man has vacant stare
and slow, almost inarticulate speech.
He is said to be miser, having good
mine at Sunshine. Many will recall
him as very dark, much bewhiskered,
black clothed, ragged Jew who is often
seen on the streets. The marshal will
ask the county court to pass upon his
sanity.

KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION
Fred Smith loses His Life Near
Caldwell

A distressing accident took place on
Fftch's farm, northeast of Caldwell, last
Thursday afternoon. A man named
Fred Smith was engineer on threshing
engine. Mr.. Cranmer, the owner of the
outfit, had come to town for some sup
plies, and during his absence. Smith let
the boiler get dry, and seeing there was
no water in the glass, started the in
iector This act was closely followed by
an explosion the boiler bursting on the
inside and blowing out both ends of the
engine and injuring Smith so badly that
he died at 10 o'clock that night. He had
one leg broken IN two places, and num-
Der Of other bruises over his head, body
and limbs His body was badly scalded
and from the waist down cinders were
thickly embedded in the flesh. 1t was
marvellous that no other lives were lost,
as pieces of the castings were afterward
found scattered quite distance both
ways from the engine; one piece being
found over a quarter Of mile from the
scene of the accident. A bundle wagon
had just passed when the explosion
took place and some fire was blown into
it, setting the load on fire. The team be-
came frightened and ran away from the
driver, running down in the field, where
both the load and wagon were burned up,
and singeing the team to some extent.
The outfit came here from Dakota, where
the engineers wife was in a hospital up
to the time of his death.

LIGHTNING ROD AGENT
Police Here Notified to Look Out for
Contract Canvasser.

For some days past a smooth, oily
tongued sharper has been operating in
the neighbOrhood Of Wellington. Appar-
entity he is a lightning rod agent and has
been closing a good many contracts in
that locality. For some unknown reason
the farmers have become suspicious Of
his dealings and they believe that the
contracts signed are being converted into
personal promissory notes. Yesterday
Chief of Pohca-Cu bbon received word
from Sheriff Shaver Of OF Wellington,
requesting him TO keep a sharp lookout
for a man named Stub. who claimed to
live in Wichita. The officer said he was
the lightning rod agent and believes that
contracts had been reduced to notes. One
in particular, given by A NJ. Heasty, he
has reasons TO believe was converted.
The chief investigated but no such note
was cashed at any Of the banks.
