says that the rain gauge at the su-

day morning. By this time it prob

that during the rain storm of Mon
day hailstorm, covering territory
half a mile wide and one and one
half miles long, just two miles west
of La Junta, did q great deal of
damage, practically destroying all
of the cantaloupes. The beets were
uninjured, although most of the
leaves were beaten off. Messrs.
Huff, Near. Berry and Gauger were
the greatest sufferers. MIR. Gauger
had in forty acres of cantaloupes
on ground that had never been
plowed before. The vines were rid
died ny the hail. and although the
crop looked like a total loss he de-
cided to try an experiment. Fifteen
Japs were employed to cut off the
vines at the stalk and Mr.. Gauger
hopes that the cantaloupes will
bloom and blossom again He tried
this experiment once before, al
though the cantaloupes were not so
far advanced. and it proved success

PETITION OF DRAIN ASSESSORS
Petition Together With Requests
of Drain Com. Caused Super
visors to Take A Action.

That the readers of the Northerner
ma, kLox how the board OF drain asses
sors feel in regard to the merits OF the
big Paw Paw river drain, We publish
herewith their petition in full to the
drain commissioner. The petition was
signed by Fl of the % assessors. the
other member, G.. A. Barber OF Haml-
ton, being absent from the meetings
To the county drain commissioners OF
Van Buren, county:
We, the undersigned drain assessors
from the several townships to be effect
ed by the proposed Paw Paw river drain,
having convened as per your call and
proceeded by your order to view, deter
mine and list all lands to be comprised
in the said Paw Paw river drain assess
ing district; after having all of us col
lectively traversed the entire length of
the said drain and ascertained the
amount of land to be directly be nefited,
also the probable cost 10 complete such
drain, coupled with the injustice and in
jury that We believe such project, il CON-
pleted, would do to a large number of
land owners, we would now report that
we cannot consistently nor conscieu-
tously as fair minded men make an as
sessment that would assist in carrying
to completion a project that to our minds
would take from our neighbors his right
or his property and without giving him
and chance to regain or get pay for that
which he might lose. Desiring to be
fair to all concerned, and believing that
som ething should be done to reli eve
the present conditions along the said
river, we would most earnestly and re-
spectfully recommend that you now take
such action as will be necessary to dis
continue the proposed route as now es-
tablished and re-establish the same in
the present river channel as near as
practical and conform to the wishes of
large majority of the taxpay ers and those
to be benefited by such drain.
To the original petitioners and those
that are expecting benefits from the
proposed drain, 10 spirit of fairness
and wishing to practice the Golden Rule,
we appeal 10 you as fair minded men to
accept the above recommendations and
assist in carrying them to completion
BY so doing we believe you would end
bitter and resentful feeling that now ex-
lists and would continue for years sh ould
the present project be completed.

WOULD RESTORE HOME
OF DR.. SAMUEL JOHNSON
Mayor of LichfieId, England, Issues an
Appeal for Contributions to
Be Devoted to That
Purpose

Special Cable to The Herald
LICHFIELD, England. Aug. 3-The
mayor has issued an appeal for contri-
buttons toward the complete restoration
of the birthplace of DR.. Samuel Johnson.
The house was bought by Colonel John
Gilbert in 1860 and by him presented to
the city authorities. They converted it
into a Johnson library and museum and
in 1901 it was dedicated TO public uses by
DIR. George Birkbeck Hill, in the pres
ence of the members of the johnson club
of London. Augustine Birrell was the
orator of the occasion.
Since then many priceless gifts have
been made to the observation-disclosures,
models, pictures, manuscripts and relics
and IL grows in value and interest year
by year. Unfortunately the funds avail
able for it's maintenance are altogether
insufficient.
AS the house is nearly three hundred
years old it is falling naturally into de-
cay, and will not last much longer unless
means are taken promptly for its preser-
walton. Not long ago 1t narrowly es-
capped destruction by fire, which orig
mated in the adjoining house.
This property has now come into the
market It is proposed to buy it, to pro-
vide accommodation for the caretaker of
the johnson house and additional room
for books and manuscripts.
investigations show that the oaken
framework of the Johnson home is still
sound. and that it will be comparative
ly easy to restore the old book shop to
its original shape and dimensions. The
necessary details for the work to be
done are supplied by old prints in the
possession of the committee in charge.

SHARPrPOINTED BULLET
Experiments Continue Despite Con-
demnation of Peace Conference
Committee-NeW Missile Said
to Be Big Improvement
oiai Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The work of manu-
featuring the new sharp pointed bullet
condemned by committee of The Hague
conference goes merrily on at the govern
ment shops.
Its increased point blank range from
500 yards to 800 yards is said to be or IN
calculable value in warfare, for In the
late Russo-Japanese war most OF the
battles were decided at medium distances.
An officer who has been experimenting,
not officially, with the new bullet at Cam
bridge, declares that 1t needs not only less
elevation but less wind allowance than
the fiat-nosed bullet now in use
1.-The elevation at HOO yards range is as
much" he says, las 25 points, or OH
less and the wind allowance is only half
that needed with the blunt bullet. There
is an immense gain also in muzzle veloci-
ty with the pointed bullet. The muzzle
velocity of the existing fiat nosed service
bullet is only 1000 feet per second. With
the new bullet it is as much as 245O feet
per second. Suppose soldier to be firing
at an enemy, say 800 yards away. All he
will have to do will be to aim the rifle
straight at his adversary without trouo-
ling about elevation or wind allowance
and the bullet will find its mark"
