BARN and CONTENTS DESTROYED
By Fire at LambeftS-lOSS $1,000
and No Insurance. Box Party.

Lamberts, March lone of the
W e Hemingway & Co.'S fine
barns and stables was totally de.
stroyed by fire late Saturday after
noon with all its contents. TIE
fire was discovered about FIVE clock,
but had gained such headway that
attempts to extinguish the flames
were futile. All their mules were
in the barnyard lot and thus es'
capped without injury. The total
loss is estimated to be about 81 800.
Their entire fodder crop, together
with large quantity of hay, was
burned. No insurance was carried
on barn or contents. This is the
second loss for this company in one
week, one of their mules having died
the first of the week.
The box supper given at Lam
berts school house Wednesday
night, February "a, was quite a
success. Braving the inclement
weather many were present and ex'
pressed themselves as having an en-
joyable evening. Boxes containing
all the delicacles of the culinary
department, home made candies,
cakes oranges and fancy articles
brought fair prices. The fish pond
was an attraction for both young
and old.
In the bottle of beans contest,
the jewel case offered as a prize for
the correct or nearest correct num-
Der of beans in bottle, was won by
MIR Lester Richardson of Lamberts.
The bean bag throwing was quite
an attraction. The prize, hand
some vase, was awarded to Mr. Ar
thur Altman of Rome.

if it is 20 miles deep is 100000

l had thought, Mr. Editor, that
the crust of the old world was
getting too thick for the up
heavals and disasters like pre-.
historic times, when the effects
are recorded in the crushed and
broken rocks of the upheaved
mountains. But such is life,
warfare on every hand; a war
fare with the farmers to kill the
grass and the weeds; a warfare
against insects and diseases;
a neral warfare; a warfare of
ideas, &C., &c. But | reckon
this life's warfare is to drill
US and make US better able to
fill the places assigned US in the
life beyond.
l suppose if we were carried
on fowery beds of ease, as they
say some places in Africa a
are, where the lucky inhabitant
can lie down beneath the bread
fruit tree, over which hangs the
towering cocosnut trees waving
in the breezes until the milk in
the cocoanut is churned to but
ter, which trickles down on the
bread fruit as the hot un
cracks the nut shells, and just
reach up and pluck the buttered
fruit and lie down to eat it. l
say, if we were all brought up
like that we would not be worth
the Masters notice when we
should knock at the heavenly
gate.
So here's to the discipline and
training of the third planet in
the solar system, no matter
whether diseases or earthquakes
carry US to our other homes.

The SAGE OF
PossUM FORK
TELLS ABOUT EARTHQUAKES - HOW
CAUSED AND THEIR PICEIN The
ECONOMY OF NATURE.

Editor COUNTY RECORD
We are so frequently shocked
to hear of recurring earthquakes
that sometimes we ask: When
will earthquakes cease? The
Bible says: "There shall be
famines and pestilences and
earthquakes in divers places,
but the end is not yet" Matthew
xx:14.
So, as long as internal fires
are able to perform their fearful
functions of driving the gurg-
ing vortex of percolated oceans
back to the surface of the world
to supply the indispensable re-
quisites of its inhabitants, the
old world will, of necessity, be
shaken up occasionally. But
when the internal fires are so
cooled down that they can no
longer keep the waters to the
surface and the last drop of the
ocean goes down into earth's
internal caverns devoid of heat,
and the melted ice, which we
call water, hardens into it's
natural element in, the then cold
internal regions; (and let no
one deny that there is room
enough in the 1000 miles below
to contain ten times as much),
thea will earthquakes cease.
"And there was no more sea,
Revelations II. Then will it be
necessary,in fulfilling the Bible,
to set her afre and melt "the
very elements with fervent heat.
"Aud | saw a new heaven and a
new earth.
Earthquakes have a Ire ady
ceased in the moon, for the tel
escope shows the ocean cav
eras, water all having gone into
the interior Of the little 1000
mile world; internal fires unable
to keep the water to the surface;
not q single cloud to be seen.
"hnd there was no more sea, "
Revelations. But the moon still
has a mission, although dead.
She shines for US like some peo.
Piles lives that shine and shine
after they are dead.
But suppose we look a moment
at the behavior of water under
the influence of heat and press.
ure. 1t is we'll known that the
light air pressure up in a high
mountain permits water to boil
at less heat than is sufficient to
cook a piece of meat for dinner;
but down about the sea level
where the pressure is about 10
pounds per square inch, it re-
Quires PIP degrees F to boil the
water; and when steam is raised
in a boiler the required heat is
more and more and the steam
pressure is greater and greater.
Physics says when the pressure
in the boiler is IS pounds per
inch the water must have SOC
degrees of heat to boil 1t; 100
pounds per inch requires $50
degrees of heat; 200 pounds per
inch $50 degrees OF neat, ana SO
on. The greater the pressure,the
more heat must be put in the
water to make more steam
And right here IS the peculiar
safety provision for steam u.s.
ers.
But as the water down in
the bowels of the earth is
always under such stupendous
pressure, We can not conceive
of the fearful warfare forever

City Water Patronage.

The Dodge City papers announce
that 627 of the ZIG houses in that town
have city water in their buildings. No
wonder their water works system is a
great success. Every body is interest
ed. That Is the trouble in our city. 30
few have city water in their homes
and hardly any in their business places.
Go up Chestnut or Main street and see
how very few have city water run into
their places. True, it costs something
to put in pipes, but once in the con-
venience is 80 great you couldn't be
hired to take out. Then again these
business men who pay big taxes should
remember the more users the more in
come to the city, and consequent less
tax to be raised. Every business house
in town should have city water in their
places and residence owners have no
idea what saving and pleasure it is
to have the city water.

Political WransEng.

1t is fun to see the republicans pull
ing each others hair already on next

with long letters telling how the other
fellow is good pop, or the other fell
low an insurgent, or the other fellow
not fit to be IN OUR PARTY. It was
just this kind of wrangfng that made
the dissatisfied voter IN 1890 and put
the independent voters, the farmers, in
power and turned the rascals out. For
by these letters all claim to be Taft

unfit to be- elected or hold Office. In
fact the Taft-Cannon faction claim

He District Supervisor.

Hon. J. C. Newell, the 9th District
Supervisor of the coming census, the
Ree6er selection from Norton county,
was here last week. In fact he is 60
ing all over the district getting ac-
quainted with the people and investi-
eating the work. He has now opened
his Office and begun to draw his pay,
but the real work of taking the census
will not begin until April 18th next,
which is month earlier than any for
mer census taking, but this time there
is 80 many more questions to ask, so
much more to find out that it must
commence earlier.
In former years the supervisor gave
out the township appointments as emu
merators as political favors, but this
year EVERY man must take an exami-
nation and if some long haired pop OF
democrat riding mule, is smarter
than his opposing republican republican
candidate, If he knows better the colo1
of mans hair or eyes, if he can tally
up the babies better or tell better where
Sam Smith lives and all about him, he
is the fellow who must be appointed tc
do the work and draw the pay of So q
day for from twenty to sixty days. Sc

than you political knives, you aspiring

best man win. And the dear people
must be prepared to tell the assessor in
March what they own of this worlds

themselves. all their relatives and
their business.
