THE MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Conducted at the Opera House Sunday
Morning by the G. A. r. and W. r. c.
Rev. Goods Address.

Union memorial services we're held
at the opera house Sunday morning,
instead of the usual services at the
churches. A large audience was in
attendance, members of the G. A. r.
! and W. R. G. being present in places at
the front of the hall on the right and
left Of the aisle. Wallace Filler, com
mander, and NJ D. CuthbertsUD, ad-
jutant, we're in charge Of the services
The members of the ". r. G. and @.
a. R. had decorated the hall and stage
in an appropriate manner. Flags
bunting, flowers and pictures were
tastifully arranged on the walls and on
the facade of the stage. A choir fur
nished the music
Rev. Good, of he Methodist church.
preached the sermon from Psalms 6O:4:
Thou hast given a banner to them
that fear thee, that it may be displayed
because of the truth" Rev. Good VS.
assisted by Rev. J. Erect, Of the Luth-
eTan church, who read the scripture.
offered prayer and pronounced the
benediction.
Rev. Good traced the career Of ma
tions and emphasized the fact that ali
nations, both in ancient and modern
times, have a national ensign or ban
ner; that those nations whose banner
represented the truth prospered; that
those nations whose banner did not
represent the truth, or failed to repre-
sent the truth, persisted and passed
away.
The speaker gave a brief sketch of
our nations history, the adoption of
its banner. its wars for liberty and
humanity He said this nation had
never waged a war of conquest, and
while true to our lofty ideals the ma
ton would endure. There were, how
ever, dangers that threatened to de-
stroy our institutions Of which, from
the speakers view of the subject, in
temperance was the greatest, and upon
which he enlarged at length.

Its Superiority over Blue stem a. kan
sas Grass Has Been Proven By
Practical Tests.

D. Heaton, q banker Of Greenfield,
| Ia, who recently purchased a quarter
section OF Sherman county land, pro-
poses to break out the entire quarter
and seed it with timothy and clover.
This venture calls TO mind an article
in the Norton Champion entitled.
swami Buffalo Grass Again The arti-
Gle reviews the attempts heretofore
made to exterminate the buffalo grass
and to replace it with the tame grasses
and waving fields Of wheat and corn;
and the diversity Of opinion as TO the
short grass country becoming q reliable
agricultural region.
Sentiment has changed, according to
the Champion, and many noR desire
to restore the buffalo grass where it
has been destroyed, and either re-seed
the land or transplant it with sod OF
the once despised grass. This is the
result Of a report on experiments
carried on by Prof. Willard, Of the bot
anical department. Of the state agricul-
tural college at Manhattan, in which
the professor declares that the buffalo
grass is the very best pasture for both
summer and winter. He has also ex-
Perimented on buffalo grass hay and
finds it rich in fat-producinE elements.
He even says that it is richer in pro-
teids than the famous blue grass Of
Kentucky.
Superintendent Cotterell, Of the farm
department, says that the problem Of
restoring the buffalo grass is only one
of cost, and can be done by either
seeding or transplanting sod. He
thinks a square foot Of sod set out four
feet apart would result in the grass
spreading and covering the ground.

Death oF - Prlrohard.

Major Levi Pritchard, state senator
Of this district from 1893 to 1897, died
at his home in Hill City, May -. Last
fall Mr.. Pritchard was attacked with
the lagrippe and the disease later set
tied in his eyes which q few days be-
fore his death rendered him totally
blind. 1t Is thought that the worry
over this misfortune fastened his
death.
Major Pritchard was veteran OF the
civil war and was we'll known in Grand
Army and political circles of this dis
trict. He was identified with the popu-
lists, being elected to the legislature
by that party.

REEDER AGAINST IT.
Sixth District Congressman Opposes Irri--
CATION Suit With Colorado from Di-
verting Waters Of the Arkansas.

The only Kansan so far discovered
who is opposed to this state enjOining
Colorado from diVertiDg the waters of
the Arkansas river is Congressman ".
A. Reeder, of the Sixth district. He
says:
eff it is a fact, as I think all who have
closely observed the flow of the streams
will agree, that the streams of Kansas
which have had none of their waters
used for irrigation have decreased their
flow as largely as that of the Arkansas,
then it must follow that this suit is in
judicious, to say the least. In my judg-
ment not only is it true that their use
Of the waters near the mountains has
been no detriment to Kansas, but it is
equally true that such diversion has
been of value to us and will continue
to grow in good effect for many years
to come.
ain the early days we would invaria-
bly, have a strong wind usually from
the southwest for several days, which
would be followed by a violent rain
which came from the west, and the
water immediately plunged into the
creeks and rivers and thus in torrents
passes ont of the country. No rain
seemingly could be precipitated up the
arid, parched plains near the noun
tains.
81 doubt if any person in western
Kansas previous to 20 years ago, ever
saw a rain fall from the clouds which
were moving from the east toward the
west.
"When the irrigators of Colorado
had made fertile fields, ponds and
marshes of quite a portion of the east
ern slopes of the mountains west of
Kansas, the character of our rains be-
gan to change materially. Rain clouds
began to come from the east and our
rains to fall gently so that now fully
one-half of our moisture falls from the
clouds moving from east to west, and
so slowly and gently as to nearly all
pass into the soil.
81 have known in recent years of a
five-ineh rain to fall during four con-
secutive days and the creeks not run .
Reeder thinks that some scheme
should be devised to hold what water
falls from the clouds instead of trying
to corral that which comes from the
Rocky mountains.
