Humboldt vs. Jim PickeI.

In district court this week a
case was filed which reads State ver-
sus James Pickel but which really is a
case of Humboldt versus that gentle
man. The petition sets forth the fact
that Mr.. Pickel occupies Il tract OF
land west of the Neosho river and
north of the road leading west from
Humboldt. 1t was formerly plated
as part of the city but never occu-
pied. Recently Mr.. Pickel has been
feeding cattle and hogs on this land
and the rains have washed the filth
into the river above the dam. So the
petition says the water is polp'od
that Humboldt and people for miles
around depend on this pond for water;
that the pen pollutes the air; that the
hogs wallow in the water and are
gradually roofing out the bridge
piers; and several pages of Other
things. So the court is asked to en-
join Mr.. Pickels using that lot foI
that purpose.

For a New Commissioner.

The Republican County Central
Committee met at the court house at
O'Clock Tuesday pursuant to call
and took up the matter of the election
of new county commissioner from
the third district to succeed j. d.
Christian, whose term expires. 1t was
decided to hold the township primaries
Saturday, September 2S and the con-
vention in lola Tuesday October l,
There was some talk about selecting
new committeeman but this should be
done by the townships, they.to report
to convention, and there will be no
county convention this year. So the
matter was dropped and the old mem
bers will hold over.

Who will Act As Judgeg

In case the i'll health OF Judge Still
we'll continues and prevents his ap-
pearing here October l to open court
the lawyers will have to select some
one of their number to act as Judge.
Every indication now is that the Judge
cannot be here, at least it would be
unwise for him to begin work so soon
after his recovery. There are twenty
seven lawyers in lola and any of them
will be eligible to the position of
Judge, but those who have the expert
ence to qualify them for the judicial
seat are all so deeply interested in the
cases that they cannot serve, so the
presiding officer will probably have to
be selected from the out-of-town attor-
neys. There is little talk yet about
on whom the choice shall fall.

ARGENTINE SNELTER CLOSED
The Big Refining Works is Finally
Ordered Shut-Wiil it Ever Re-
open in This City.

Argentine, Kansas, Sept. 16.-A
4. the Argentine smelter Saturday the
last of the dora silver being silver
and gold combined taken out.
The night before the fires "blew out, j"
as the technical phrase is. That same
morning the last of the retorts were
closed down. Orders were received to
send all bullion on hand and now in
process OF extraction to Omaha, and
further orders we're to the effect that
hereafter the blue vitrol works, lin
connection with the smelter will be
managed from the Omaha office. The
blast furnaces are going yet. but it is
understood these will be kept going
on until the supply of ore now on
hand is treated, when they will be
cooled off and the men discharged.
Today there are about 800 men on the
pay roll, as against 900 under ordi
nary conditions. Eight officers OF the
local plant have been notified that
their services would be dispensed with
on October l.
From the fact that the original
owner of the plant, A. II. Meyer, is
one of the executive officers of the
trust, and Charles T.. Finney, his
former confidential clerk, chairman of
the executive committee of the trust, it
is supposed, It is hoped, the Argentine
.smelter will yet be saved from the
wreckage man. Meyer and Finney
own tine Southwestern Chemical works
situated near the smelter, plant
which annually sells to the Argentine
.smelter wares to the value of $50 000
nearly all of which is net profit
Meyer and Finney are both Kansas
City men, and these three facts may
be used as foundation for the belief
in the hearts of the Argentine trades
men that the smelter will be kept
going. But there is nothing more re-
assuring than this, aud 1t is scarcely
likely the hope will survive a recital
of the long list of orders received Sat
urday relating to the designations OF
officers, shipping of bullion, closing
down of retorts and otherwise prepar-
ing for inactivity.
No reason can be ascribed for Sc
lecting this plant for a shutdown in
favor of Omaha, for it is an older,
richer and more widely known smelter.
But the trust owns many plants, aud
has diversified interests, and the re-
suit of the New York directors execu-
tive meeting, which was announced to
be held last Wednesday, evidently
was u decision that Omaha had more
claims on its patronage than Kansas
City. The Argentine smelter is known
on two continents. 1t turns out all
precious metals; many smelters are
equipped to handle only one of the
two precious, and third semi-pre-
cious, metals. 1t has worked as high
as l,2O0 men during rush, but 9OC
was the normal strength. SO far as
can be learned the vitrol plant is to
be continued, but as that engages but
thirty men, il is immaterial

out in the spring, as the horses could
be staked out. For nearly all the
crops made that year the horses had
only grass.
But my what an enormous crop 1915
was, | know land where they just
straddled the corn shock row for there
was no corn through here the year be-
fore) and jerked the corn in one way,
cultivated one way and got fifty
bushel to the acre. Then followed
series of good years some better than
others up to 1880 when it was pretty
dry still a fair year. Then came 1881
and what a year, corn up to July
never looked better, then the dry
weather and hardly any corn was
raised. 1882 was good year, 1883
and 1884 were good ones, then 1885 the
fiftieth periodical wet year, 1886 was
pretty dry.
A good many here will remember
1887, how dry it was. Six years from
1881, for some times the very dry
years are only six years apart. 1888
1889, 1880 were good crop years but
1890 was the bumper year for corn,
and | speak more particularly of
corn in all these years, as we feel the
loss of that more. Then came 1894
the seven year period again, then fol-
tn
seven years from 1894, last year was
rather dry, we all know what this is
Two years ago in an article in the REG
1sTER on the periodical dry year
Kansas we said that 1901 would be a
dry year, some said they guessed not
others, that l was preaching calamity.
| just simply judged the future by the
past, and by the same rule. 1907 will
be pretty dry, 1908 very dry.
There is always a bright side to
everything If we would only remember
the excessive dry years have always
been followed by good crops and more
often by very large ones. Let every
one plow all the ground they can this
fall as the pinch of this year will be
more keenly felt next spring and sum-
mer.
Sticks stuck in the ground next year
will have corn on them. Why these
dry years are | do not know as any
one knows unless God meant the land
should rest one year in seven. as he
commanded the Jews to let theirs rest
that often. A good crop every year
would soon exhaust the soil and man
should wax fat and rich," and for
get his dependence on the great ruler
of the universe.
In talking with a gentleman from
Pennsylvania about the dry weather
and the shortness of the crops he said
"Why don't you move out of such a
country, | would" but why leave a
place where you are almost dead sure
of good fair crops five to six years
out of seven, and often in that time
very large crops, and then too l have
made all / have got right here. 1t is
not so many years since the railroad
in Pennsylvania ran regular water
trains to supply the people with water
for house use as we'll as for stock.
Just on account of little dry spell
that comes to every country once in
about so often, one might jump out of
a frying pan into the fire. Should
these circumstances of other years
help any one to be more content we
shall be glad.
