Planning for Sewerage.

The west side citizens met last
night and discussed the sewerage
matter. 1t is estimated that the west
side can be provided with a sewerage
system for $1,000 10 200, using 8.
inch pipes. The plan now considered
most feasible is to run the pipes west
to Pine street, thence straight south,
passing near the Santa Fe stock yards
and striking the creek near the Rock
Island bridge. No odor whatever
would be possible to any residence
part OF town and it would be Of great
value to west side property. 1t is
just a question Of time when the
whole town must have sewerage. The
city engineer Of Topeka has been sent
for to come here and make an esti-
mate and report on the matter.

DAIRYING IS ADVANCING.
Creamery Industry Of Kansas Grow
ing Steadily.

1.-The creamery industry OF Kansas
Is making big strides forward" said
c. H. Pattison. secretary Of the Con-
tinental Creamery Co. Of Topeka,
who was in town today. "We have
figured on an output this year Of 7
million pounds Of butter and 2 mil.
lion pounds Of cheese. Our company
controls 1870 plants, including thirty
five creameries and nineteen cheese
factories, operating in iifty-six coun-
ties In Kansas, three counties in Col
crado, nine counties in Oklahoma and
one county'in Nebraska. At present
our patrons number 10000, but dur
ing the summer season we expect to
handle cream and milk from as many
as $4,000 different patrons"
The Continental is not only the
largest creamery company in the
world but it is rapidly growing and
10 having now the most prosperous
period In its history. Its organiza-
ton and the building Of it to its pres
ent extensive proportions were large.
" due TO Mr.. Pattison's efforts and he
has reason to be proud of the success
attending it. The company is one of
the states most important industries.
1t has recently erected 100000
creamery building in Topeka.
Dairying in Kansas has become one
Of the greatest industries of the state
and Kansas is rapidly becoming ore
Of the greatest dairy states Of the
country. Its rapid development dur
ing the last ten years and the cnor-
NOUS increase in its production Of
butter, cheese and milk during the
last four years have been phenomenal
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture places Kansas eighth in rank
In number of mich cows. In 1899
the value Of their products was 50
per cent greater than the output Of
the rich lead and zinc mines of the
state during the same period, and they
would have paid the total state,
county and township taxes for the
year. Last year the value of their
products increased over 10 per cent,
amounting to nearly one.hfth more
than for the year previous. During
the ten years, ending in 1900, the
manufacture OF butter increased 30
per cent and its value, along with
that OF cheese made and milk sold for
other purposes, during the ten years,
aggregated more than 50 millions Of
dollars.

What British Correspondents Think.
London, March 27.--The Pretoria
and Bloemfontein correspondents of
the Times send long dispatches admit
ting that Lord Kitchener's policy and
operations have failed to achieve the
results hoped for and pointing out
that the British public must be pre-
pared to return to the original policy
of occupying districts and studding
the country with military posts as the
only means of effecting complete
pacifcation. "Unlcss this aspect of
the case is grasped by the author
tiles" say the advices to the Times,
"there is possibility of the war last

new peace negotiations"

Universal condemnation in strong
language of the attempted assassina-
ton of President Mckinley indicates
the speedy enactment in all states of
laws for the suppression os anarchy
at least of that feature of it which
advocates assassination and kindred
crimes. While it will be difficult to
stamp it out speedily pernicious
doctrince already being the breath of
life to many-stringent laws would
have wholesome deterrent effect
upon those who are just getting
drawn into the fatal meshes. Care
full work will be needed to frame a
law that will cover the ground fully
and yet stand the test for constitu-
tionality. A committee of able
lawyers should be asked to frame
such bill, and every state should
enact it into law.

in the next lot. Every anathema
hurled against Hunt and Bassett for
granting the pardon is hurled
against those who petitioned for that
pardon. NJ A. Daily, republican
assessor of Washington county,
petitioned Governor Hunt to release
Corcoran. Does the World or OPP
TINA charge Daily with setting at
naught the majesty of the law?'
Are Jim Gerwick and G. u. Ashby
hirelings and bribe-takers? They
asked for the release of Corcoran.
Is the Rev. Van Nistleroy one who
wants to make foot ball of law and
the courts? He petitioned for it.
Did Pete Roberts, Gerry Snow, Tom
Pence prostitute public virtue for
private ends" when they signed the
prayer to the pardoning board? Did
Bob Lansdon, the Cambridge post
master, and Roy Carruthers, the
Council merchant, receive the gre
ward of puppets when they express
ed their desire to have the prisoner
turned loose? And are the others
"beyond the pale of decency" along
with those who granted their request?

used unscrupulously and on all oc-
casions by class of politicians in
both parties, and from that stand
point tits a God-send to have remov-
ed, now, thing that would have
otherwise remained in politics in this
state for the next fifteen or twenty
years and would probably be used in
ways that would bring disgrace and
dishonor on the fair name of the
state. Its removal from the arena
is safeguard to the political morals
Of the state at least.
1t is remarkable how criminal
cases are dragged out upon the part
isan stage by those out of power and
anxious to use any unprincipled
means OF arousing prejudice against
those in power 1t was sought to
make capital Of the sDiamond6eld
Jack case, and when his sentence
was committed to life prisonment,
solely because another claimed to
have done the killing, and there were
circumstances which rendered it pos
slble that the man under sentence
OF death, bravo and shooter as he
undoubtedly has been, might not
have been the real murderer in this
instance, the same papers now in
evidence made the solemn charge
that the Communication was a demo-
cratic reward for the killing of
sbeepherder because as a rule those
engaged in that industry are republi-
cans. The charge was made in the
hope that some narrow, preiudiced
mind could be Influenced to believe
such an Interpretation, but it fell 30
fiat, so dead and silent on fairly
intelligent public that the cry was
dropped to take up the Corcoran
clamor The moment thei button
was pressed all those on the circuit
turned loose their calliopes; and in
the general medley the Weser
World jumps upon its box and glib
bers forth its melted part in unison
with its fellows. And 'Optima,"
correspondent, and not one of
Jabour's Midway girls, finds long
sought opportunity to make the re-
ference to the Rail Splitter" the
statesman whose principles Optima
has probably not voted for in twenty
years judging from his evident
present party complexion. The
World should 60 slow in its frothing
and tuning 1t should PAUSE in its
fiery denunclations, because, when it
denounces the pardon of Corcoran it
denounces every one of the six thou
sand voters who petitioned the
governor and other members of the
board for his release, and it denounces
some Of Washington county's best
citizens. Possibly two hundred good,
respectable, honorable gentlemen of
this county prayed Governor Hunt to
release Corcoran. The Worldsshould
60 slow in its denunciations because
it is denouncing not only substantial
business men of Weiser, good citizens
OF the county at large and democrats
who are known to be honest men,
but 1t is denouncing some OF the
most representative and respected
republicans, men of its own party,

HAVE TENACITY.

The SIGNAL trusts the people of
Weiser will show tenacity in the
matter of the artesian well now be-
ing bored at the ce metery. The well
will soon be down the one thousand
feet contracted for and the sbale for
nation everything the artesian strata
is not yet passed through. Mr..
Sears, the sexton OF the cemetery,
and agent for the association, will
make another round seeking to raise
sufficient additional funds to at least
go 500 feet further which will put it
300 feet further than the Ashley we'll
(Which, by the way, is still furnish
ing steady supply of gas which
Mr.. Ashley has piped into the house
and has all along been using for
lights and fuel) The trouble has
been that people scatter in their spas
modic donations. There was the old
we'll on the HAWTHORN place, then the
Ashley well, now the cemetery we'll.
If all this effort had been concen-
trated into one we'll it would have
been below sea level and a thorough
demonstration would have been had.
You subscribe two or three times TO
one well, then swear you are done
with we'll donations In year or
two you are ripe again and donate to
another we'll, simply covering the
ground or rather depth reached be-
fore, and at about the same distance
down into the earth your sand dis
appears and your money is gone and
not foot more depth has been at
tanned, therefore absolutely nothing
has been accomplished. Now that
the cemetery we'll has been started
let it be persisted IN. We have some
citizens who are able and who could
give $3.50 or $500 to tue well project
as matter of public research. 1t
is evident from the work now done
that the formation pitches very alb
ruptly between the old HAWTHORN we'll
and the present one. In the old we'll
which is little further west depth
of 440 feet took the drill through
the shale formation and into bed
quicksand from which fish bones
we're pumped out. and behind which
there was immense pressure. The
first night after reaching the quick
sand it was forced up 100 feet in
the casing Mr.. Grumbling then
asked that night shift be put on
and the casing kept moving. He
stated that II this were not done the
casing would set in the sand and it
would be impossible to go any fur
Their. He said il the night shift
were put on he would guarantee a
strong flowing we'll as soon as he
got the 100 feet of sand pumped

out and the crossing through the bed
of quicksand, it being evident that
the material was being forced up the
pipe by the water behind it. The
everything shale is much deeper, but
if once pierced, the quicksand or
the water behind it should be en-
countered. All who can afford it
should put up and put the well down
little deeper.
