Music BY a Topeka Orchestra

Prairie View Division No. 276, Order OF
Railway Conductors, viii give their sec
ord annual ball at the opera house We'd
nesday evening. April q. The ball given
by the conductors last year was such an
unqualified social success that they have
decided to make It an annual event.

decided upon at the meeting Sunday

the enjoyable time to be afforded by this
dance with expectancy equal to that felt
when the other railway orders, the en-

ball, and from past experience all know
better than can be described what these
events are to the social life of GOodland

There is not an Indian tribe in the

DRY LAND CROPS.
BrOma Grass Is Expected to Produce Hay
Without Irrigation on Semi
Arid Lands

From the Denver News.
If experiments now under way with
BrOma grass prove successful arid sec
tons of the state will be turned INTO
green fields and land now not worth a
cent without water on it will sell for a
good sum, even without irrigation. 1t is
claimed for the BrOms grass that it viii
grow 90 arid land and will produce fine
hay without irrigation.
An actual test Of what can be accom-
plished with the grass on arid land will
be made by the E. Paso county commits
siOners, who have purchased 300 pounds
Of Broma grass seed, and will SOW it this
week on a dry part Of the poor farm. If
the grass Oh the farm thrives, and a
good crop Of hay is harvested, farmers
and ranchers all over the state will try
the seed on acres Of land to-day practic
ally valueless without irrigation.
Apparently successful experiments
have been made with the grass in FL
Paso county. On the h + ranch a good
crop Of BrOms grass was cut from semi
arid land. George Bernard secured a
good crop on his ranch, and the Hobbs
raised good yield. One Of the advant-
ages Of the grass is that It makes an early
crop and a correspOudingly late pasture.
1t grows quite tall, usually higher than
timothy. with a small stem and a large
head. The heal or tsssel Of the grass
resembles that Of blue grass.
10 the rooms of the state horticultural
board there are two samples of BrOma
grass grown in Colorado. Ore is bearded
and the other is not These samples
measure about two feet.

He Got the Ticket.

John Bender is now the oldest con
ductor running on the Santa Fe road 10
point of service, says the Kinsley Mer-
curry. Eastern papers are telling the
famous story of the Dodge City Gov boy
that tried to ride free on the strength of
MS a. OF course, they get it all wrong.
According to the eastern version Bender
threw the cowboy of 20 miles from a
station. There was no place on the
Santa Fe even then that was 20 miles
from a station. The real story Is that a
cowboy got on at Dodge City and when
Bender called for his ticket, he pointed
to mis- A and said that was his ticket. He
refused to pay anything and defied Ben
der to put him of. Bender passed on
and collected his tickets. Twenty min
utes later he appeared before the COW
boy with a sawed-of shotgun, loaded
with slugs, and holding the cowboy 70

voice, Ill take that ticket now, my

boy to the next stop and dumped him

er reports from those who have been
near enough to great volcanic erupt-
ions TO appreciate the actual conditions.
One of the most famous eruptions in his
tory, that of Mt Vesuvius, in A D. -
has been described by the younger Pliny
from notes left by his uncle, who lost his
life in an effort to rescue a friend. The
narrator states that the death of the ell
der Pliny was due to fumes of sulphur.
Even making allowance for the imperfect
Identification of chemical substances at
that early period. we may safely assume
that by such an expression sulphurOus
acid was indicated. since this gas was
undoubtedly familiar; indeed, it is men
toned in the Odyssey as a disinfectant
The Roman writer further adds that the
body was untouched by fire.
In some of the recent reports from
Martinique specific mention is made of the
same suffocating influences. The steam
ship Roddam escaped through a shower Of
hot fragments and lost some of her crew
by the inhalation Of sulphurous gases
It may be well to note that. when dis
asters by fire occur in closed spaces, suf-
location by carbon monoxide and smoke
is likely to occur. In this way persons in
the gallery of a theater may be killed
without direct injury by fire or by falling
timbers. 1t is probable that instances OF
this kind have given rise to the notion Of
death by Swallowing fire., a widespread

DEATH FROM VOLCANOES.

[From the Philadelphia Medical Journal-l
An interesting question that arises n
the St. Pierre disaster, is as to the ex-
act cause OF death The newspaper ac-
counts suggest direct burning or over
material is commonly called ashes, but
it is not correctly described by that word :
it is usually rocky matter finely divided
by explosive action.
A considerable proportion Of the deaths
might be due TO suffocation by noxious
gases Among such would be carbon
dioxide commonly called carbonic acid,
and sulphurous acid The former is not
actively poisonous and would not be the
cause Of death unless present in consider
able proportion, but the latter gas Is high
IS irrespirable and even small proper
ton will render air so irritating that suf-
location must ensue. We have but meag-

AT the farmers institute held
here last week the Hon. L. A. Uel-
and, of Edgeley, talking abou,
nacaroni wheat said it was best
suited to comparatively dry
climate. Elk neriments in some
parts of North and South Dakota
had resulted in the macoroni
wheat yielding one-third more per
acre than the ordinary Fife and
Bluestone varieties. As the Uni
ted States imported 24,00O,000
pounds Of macoroni in the finished
state the past year, and consider.
able macoroni was manufactured
out of our Touring whest besides,
there is already market for the
macoroni wheat to that extent. AZ
this wheat contains considerable
more gluten than our best Fife
wheat it may also come into use
for bread making. Although at
first some objections may be raised
on account of the yellow tint of
the -four.

WHEN the lmperialistic course
was hrst entered upon tbs republi
can leaders and republican editors
were sure the insurrectlon would
only last for a shors time and that
the Filip!nos would soon learn to
love US if they we're firmly assured
they would be shot if they did not
love Us The truth is gradually
dawning and now papers like the
Minneapolis Journal admit that
they shave recover~fs from the no.
ton that a day would come when
peace would be restored. In an is
sue of one day last week the MIN
neapolis Journal said:
I'VE now expect a daily measure OF
fights and sklrmishes, the FIRE ofinsarrec-
ton Stamped out in one place only to be
lit in another. Bnt We take 1t all just as
we take the daily duties in the struggle
of life-always there is something
to be done.
This is a complacent way of adj
hitting the failure Of their pro-

not seem to disturb the more
partisan ublioans.
