THE REVOLT IN NICARAGUA.

IA was stated In the Gszstte yester-
day the people Of Msnsgus arc 10

from the police. They are cro"ding
the streets and giving vent to unres'
trained deuuncistion Of the adminisirs.
tion. Shouts OF "Loug live libertyW
"Long live the United Sistes!" 'tL1Dg
live Mexicop' "Lsng live Estrada u
are heard on every side.
The street demonstrations began Mon
day night, following denunciatory
speeches In Congress, and the temper
Of the people was msdly excited BY the
report that a battle had been fought
aud won by Vssquez, commander OF the
Zelaya forces around Rsms, and that
Vssquez had msssacrsd q large number
OF revoIutioDists. With this report
came the additional rumor that Vas
euez had violated the srmistice, and 1t
was not considered likely that be would
do 90 unless under instructions from
ZsIaya.. These reports lost nothing 10
passing from mouth to mouth. As the
Mexican minister was the guarantor
Of the srmistice, 1t is stated that that
official will ask for his passports, un'
leas satisfactory explanations are made.
The whole country Is In ferment,
Zslaya is denounced on every hand,
bat he Is master of the situation, and
the people fear a wholesale execution
OF political prisoners IS parting shot
The prisons are full Of men, most Of
whom are In a hslf-starved condition,
and doubtless would welcome death.
The people openly demand American
intervention, and vigilantes have been or
gsnzsd to prevent the escape Of the
president.
A serious danger threatens, for the
American concessionaire OF the electric
lightning declares tia. he will put Ms
pagua In darkness II money due Is not
paid before neon tomorrow. This bill
amounts to $1O9, 900 pesos, and it Ia
hardly likely that the demand will be
met.

WILL FIRST HAVE SURVEY.
No Plan for River Improvement
Until It Is Done.

Capt. E. h. Schultz who investi-
gated the river last week tells the
Kansas City papers that he will order
q survey Of the Smoky Hill bottom
and then plans will be perfected for
facilitating the flow Of water. A story
10 sent out from Salina that Schultz
will recommend removal Of all dams.
II this plan should be carried out be-
tween Marquette and Enterprise II
would mean the destruction Of dam
property valued at from $l5O,00O to
p166.0OO. Some Of the dams are COM
psratiyely new, having been finished
within the last few years.
In McPhsrson county, Saline COun-
ty and Dickinson county there are six
dams In the Smoky Hill. The SMALL
est Of the six Is at Marquette in Nc
Pherson county. 1t cost several
thousand dollars, but It has not been
used for several years. The largest
is at Enterprise, in Dickinson county.
This dam cost about t6O.OCO and is
owned by the Hoffman Milling COM
pany. At Salina the Western Star
Milling company's dam is constructed
entirely Of cement and part Of it
was built beneath this water. The
original cost Of the dam was $4,000,
but three years ago an additional
l26, 200 was expended upon It.

WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIs9
will Apples Do Well ON Banks Of
Made Ponds?

EDIToR R,ELEcToF; sbnr'd ss;
to ask through your valuable paper
for the experience Of some the Dickin'
son county apple growers, ii it Is ad'
visable to plant apples on shores Of
made ponds.
Mr.. Albert Dickens, Of the depart
ment of horticulture, Kansas State
Agricultural College, says, ut is not
uncommon for trees to die where the
seepage water from the bitches
reaches the roots, in irrigated coun-
tries. II your soil is good and your
trees have been we'll cultivated, the
lack OF size in the apples would indi-
cate the need Of garden manure. II
the trees have not been cultivated,
such proceeding would increase the
size Of tie fruit"
Ny personal opinion YVES that we
are short Of water on the uplands for
merchantable apples.

HALF BUsHEL OF DIMES.
New Cambria School Teacher Col
Her Piano at Last.

Salina journal: Imagine the sur
prised look which crept over the face
Of piano salesman at local piano
company yesterday when after sell
ing piano to young lady, she pro-
duced sack and poured out on the
counter what seemed to he all the
dimes in the world.
The young lady was Miss Pearl
Abbott, fair young school ma'am
living near New Cant bria. For the
past three or four years she has been
moulding the minds Of the youngsters
Of country school and during all Of
this time, she had one desire on her
heart and that was to save enough
money to buy piano.
She found that she could not make
a practice Of saving five dollars a
month or even one dollar a month,
So she began on the dimes. Every
dime which came into her possession
was put into the piano fund.
The fund started with one single
dime and gradually grew until it was
large enough to be exchanged for the
piano which will be delivered at her
home today.
Only about one-iourth Of the price
Of the piano was paid for in dimes
and the rest by check on an account
which had been made by depositing
dimes.
Miss Abbott is a sister Of Payne
Abbott, the ball player who played
with Salina last season.
