IRRIGATION FOR THE STATE.
Agricultural Department to Send Ex-
ports to Study Problem.

Wichita, Kan, May 16.-After years
of waiting, the dry belt" of western
Kansas has some assurance that re-
lief is in sight. It came in a letter to
Congressman Victor Murdoch from
Elwood Mead, chief of the bureau of
irrigation investigation at Washington.
Mr.. Mead states that the bureau
will send A. E. Wright, an expert in
irrigation, to western Kansas at once.
He will remain all summer gathering
data relative to the cost of raising
the water and distributing it upon the
land when and where needed He will
work out every detail showing the
cost of the entire scheme, as we'll as
the profits arising from it. Later, Mr..
NJ cad and an expert in pumping will
visit the same field. They will apply
themselves directly and exclusively to
the pumping. They will make a
study of the working of the pumps,
now in use, and will try others which
may be suggested. It will be their
idea to determine by experiment and
observation what is the best and most
feasible plan of irrigating the district
in which they will be working. When
their Investigations have been COM
pleted, some time during the fall, they
will file a joint report showing just
what thew have accomplished, what a
system of irrigation such as they will
propose will cost, and what it will be
worth to the section which will profit
by 1t. Upon this report it is expected
that congress will base future legisla-
ton, which western Kansas hopes will
follow.
The investigation is being carried
on by direction of the department of
agriculture, of which the bureau is a
part 1t is the first work looking to-
ward the retaining of western Kan
sas farm lands outside the rain belt
that has been attempted by the govern
ment. Mr.. Mead visited Garden City
few months ago, while on his way to
the irrigation congress. and while
there he became interested in it.

Neodesha, May 16.-Robert Kelley, a

his fist, and Howard died in 80 minutes
Howard had been drinking. The men
had been good friends. Howard's home
was in Beaver county, Oklahoma, where
he owned a claim. He had a brother
at Burton, Kan, and a sister, Mrs.
Frank Shackleton, at Pawnee, Mo. KEEL
ly is from Colorado. A postmortem ex-
animation and coroner's inquest showed
that Howard died of hemorrhage of the
brain, and it is probable that Kelley
will be held for manslaughter.

which will do that Any drug that
kills germs is a poison, and it can
not be taken internally. For that rea-
son, medicine is practically helpless in
any germ disease.
Iiquozone is so certain that we pub
fish on every bottle an offer of $1,000
for a disease germ that it cannot kill.
The reason is that germs are vege-
tables; and an excess of oxygen-the
very life of an animals deadly to

destruction to germs, yet to the hu-
man body it is the most helpful thing
in the world. There is no other way
to end the cause of any germ disease.

WON'T TAKE THE BONDS.
New York Savings Banks Give Rock
Island Black Eve.

New York, May 16.-There was no
surprise expressed at the announce
ment that the Savings Bank associa-
ton had refused to approve the S163,-
Rock Island & Pacific railway as an
investment for savings banks. Such
action was expected. This will not
help the bonds, of course, but it will
not affect them seriously. There are
many who are DESTROYS, nevertheless,
of hedging savings bank investments
with all possible restrictions. 1t is
thought by many that the failure of
the Rock Island interests to have
these bonds accepted as proper saw
ings bank bonds will expedite the
time when the common stock viii re-
ceive voting power. The influencing
cause in determining the action of the
Savings Bank association was the fact
that the legality of the bonds as a
savings bank investment is in doubt
according to some persons.

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is not made by com
pounding drugs, nor is there any
alcohol in it, It's virtues are derived
solely from gas-largely oxygen gas
by a process which requires i'm
mense apparatus and IA days time
Each cubic inch of Liquozone repre-
sents the virtues of 1250 cubic inches
Of the gas. The process by which
these virtues are concentrated into
liquid, stable form, has been the con-
slant subject of scientific and chem
zeal research for more than 20 years
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does. oxygen is the
nerve food, the blood food, the scav-
enger of the blood. It is the very
source of vitality, the most essential
element of life. But oxygen is a gas
and unstable; while Liquozone is fixed
and concentrated. 1t gets an excess
of oxygen virtues into the blood, to
go wherever the blood goes. The re-
suit is a vitalizing tonic with which no
other known product can compare
