PHIL ARMOUR DEAD MILLIONAIRE PORK PACKER DIES AT HIS CHICAGO HOME. Had Been Declining for Several Years But Death Came Very
 Suddenly.

CHICAGO ,Jan.7 D. Armour died at his residence on Prairie ave nue nj this city, at 5:45 p. m. yester- day. The end came after two years of illness, during which time MT. Armour visited German baths, passed the cold months in Southern Califor- nia, and devoted himself largely to an attempt to restore his health, which, however, had been broken never to be regaineG.
 For several weeks the dead million aire had been living at the family home on Prairie avenue, the usual trip to Southern California not having been taken this winter He came down to the office in the Home Insur- ance building but seldom, and as the cold increased he did not come at all It was understood at the office that he had an incipient attack of pneu- mona, but 1t was given out no later than a week ago that he was on the road to recovery. It was noted, how ever, that the constant attendance of Dr. Frank Billings, the family physi- clan, at the bedside of the sick man, did not corroborate the reports at the downtown office. For several days death had been feared as the outcome by the close associates of the great captain of industry. When death came his grandchildren. who had so close place in his heart, were at the family residence, as was J. Ogden Ar mour the surviving son.

How to Make Carp Eatable.

The Rock Island has a big artificial
lake at Smith Center, and some years
ago it became stocked with carp by
the washing out of a private fishpond
some distance above it, The Smith
Center Pioneer says the lake now has
thousands of big fish, some of which
weigh thirty or forty pounds apiece.
But the trouble with carp is that it
will take the hook during only two
weeks in the year, and, therefore, but
few are caught One way the owners
of private ponds in western Kansas
have of taking them is to sprinkle
bread crumbs on the water and then
shoot the fish with rifle as they
come to the surface to feed. By the
way, man in Washington, d. c., has
solved the problem of making the
carp not only palatable but really de-
licious. He takes the fish from their
muddy home waters and places them
in clear cool ponds, where there is no
mud. Then they are fed nothing but
watermelon rinds, and in three weeks
they are ready for the market.-Top-
les in X. c. Journal

Western Kansas World.
Saturday. June Is. 1901.

A brief synopsis of Colonel Tilten's
grafton at Osborne on Decoration
Day taken from the Farmer:
s'The object of Memorial Day is to
keep glowing the embers of national
al union was established on more than
two thousand bloody battlefields. The
warriors who established it should
guard it with jealousy to the end of
their lives, and appeal to their friends
to take up the work and prosecute it
with fidelity. Upon the principle of
national union are based certain fun
damental laws. To violate these laws
is to invite anarchy; to encourage an
archy is to invite war. The veterans
of the Union army were back of the
development of the new west. All
the way from Fort Sumpter, April II,
1861, to the surrender of Kirby Smith,
May 26, 1865, they fought that the
full fruitage of national union might
be gathered. In the might of their
patriotic manhood-some with wives,
others in a state of single bIessedness
they came west to carve homes in
the wilderness of grass or on alkali
| lands where the boon of grass was in
great measure denied.
'TheY came, for the most part.
without thought of pensions. They
saved the cities and farms and mines
and transportation systems and the
wild lands of the republic, and them
selves chose to reclaim the latter
from the grim clutches of nature. The
sturdiness of their work recalls the
Roman sentinel who was found at his
post in Pompeii after the lapse of 1,
700 years.
"We talk OF the terrible cost of our
Civil war. We talk coolly of the six
and a half billions of dollars in treas
ure which were expended by our gov
eminent in its prosecution. We warm
up as we recount the 10000 lives that
| fell in actiOn-of the other Al 200
deaths from wounds received in &C
tion, and of the 100000 who died of
disease to swell the fatalities of the
Union army to 36O,0 souls. We may
go from this to the pension roll, which
is equal to the yearly tax of nearly
two dollars on every man, woman and
child in our land. But we are prone
to stop before reaching the mothers,
wives, sisters and sweethearts of the
men who saved the nation. They suf-
fered beyond compare. How could it
be otherwise when the social fabric of
our country was so violently disturb
ed as to be rent in twain? The growth
of population was arrested. Homes
were destroyed for all time.
eff the Union was of such unspeak-
able value as to justify all these sacri-
fees in its defense, where should there
be limit to the employment of
peaceful means to preserve it in its
iDtegritY?"

Water Under ShaIe.

As there has always been conSidera-
BILE question whether water can be
obtained under the thick bed of Shale
underlying the divide lands in this
county we publish the following from
the Stockton Record showing the re-
suit of test on the matter by one of
the county commissioners of adjoin-
ing county.
Orlando Hazen's indomitable effort
to secure water on the divide between
Stockton and PIainville were crowned
with success last Tuesday when the
auger struck flow at a depth of 472
feet. In 20 minutes the water had
risen 60 feet in the hole. This had
increased to 300 feet by the next
morning, and by Saturday morning,
the last report we have had, it stood
$50 feet deep. Mr.. HaZen is to be
congratulated on having secured such
fine supply of good palatable water.
He has solved the problem for that
section of country which was consid-
cred entirely devoid of water for stock
purposes. No doubt it is worth all it's
cost in money and hard work.-Hill

Among the Shaie Dixxers-In Smoky Hill,
Ellis C0unfy


For many moons the writer has en-
tertained curiosity and great desire
to visit the so-called gold fields which
are located about thirty miles north
west of Lacrosse in the southwest
corner of Ellis county. The first day
of this week that desire was gratified
by personal visit to that particular
spot, which has received so much
note and comment through the public
press. The gold shale mill is located
six miles east of the east line of Ire
go county, and four miles north of the
north line of Rush county in Ellis
county on the south bank of the
Smoky Hill river. The mill house is
an ordinary pine board structure, %
feet wide, 80 long and II feet to the
square, with half pitch shingle roof.
The building is erected on what
might be termed ssgold standard, -
as the foundation is composed of d
wall built of shale. On the south side
of the mill are three openings 6 feet
long and feet wide, with wooden
apron or platform 3 feet wide for the
convenience of the shale hauler. Un-
der each of the three openings on the
inside of the mill is a wooden vat 6
feet wide, s feet long, and feet deep.
Into these watts the crushed shale is
shoveled from the wagon. Outside of
the mill is large tank standing upon
a treStle as high as the square of the
mill. Into this tank water is pumped
by means of gasoline engine, and
into this water chemicals are placed
and the mixture forced through four
inch iron pipes into the Shale watts
where dissolution is supposed to set
in, the PARTICLES of gold falling into a
each vat. The water after passing
through the watts is led back to the
river through d ten inch tile placed un-
ger ground. A plank floor even with
the top of the watts along the north
side with steps at the west end COM
prise the upper story. This is a de-
ScriptiOn of the mill. No one is about
the premises except young man who
seems to be a guard in charge of the
institution.
The writer said to him: 1.-THE pa.
pers say the mill will be put in opera.
ton In a few days" With a smile he
said: 1.-THE sons-of-guns have been
saying they are going to start up every
day since Christmas. The process
man is gone and can't be found and
don't know if the mill will ever start
They are now talking of prospecting
for oil.'
A TOWNSHIP is plated north of the
river about three-fourthS of a mile
| from the shale mill 1t contains two
buildings, one used as a store and
pOstoffice, the other for residence
Many little huts and sidehill dugOuts
can be seen up and down the river
where squatters took claims on the
strength of the gold boom. The LAND
up and down the river is fenced in one
large pasture which contains many
horses and cattle.-LaCrOsse Republi-
