ministers in attendance besides many
laymen and the church at times would
not hold more than about tWo-thlrds
of the people.
The ministers had breakfast an the
homes where they were entertained
and dinner and supper in the basement
of the church. The laymen had their
meals in the homes where they were
entertained and at the Woodbine hotel
Bishop Frank NJ. Bristol of Omaha,
Neb., presided. AS he was chairman
of the conference last year he was not
a new man to the members present
Bishop Bristol is one of the ablest
bishops of the Methodist church and
in their expectations.

PUMPING STATION AT LAKE VIEW
Members of Club Will Use Water in
Pool and Then in Lake.

Lawrence, Sept. 10.-A pumping sta
ton costing in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 may soon be installed at Lake
View, if the plans now under consld-
Grafton carry at the meeting called Tor
next Saturday. The plans as outlined
include the sinking of we'll twenty
feet in diameter and the pumping OF a
ten inch stream from this to swim
ming pool. From the pool the water
would pass out into the lake.
The main reason for installing such
an arrangement would be to keep the
water in the lake at the desired level
The water evaporates about three feet
in a season and the water pumped IN
would take the place of that which
dries up. The natural sources of wa
ter would of course, still be depended
upon for the main body of the lake,
but the pump would help them espe-
pecially in such weather as Kansas has
had this summer.
The location of the well is one or
the points still undecided. 1t is be-
lieved that the best water could be
obtained on the side of the lake OPP
posite the club house, but the men IN
charge prefer to have the we'll anu
the pump near at hand where they
may be looked after. The well would
have to go down only about twenty feet
to strike the underflow.

KANSAS WOMAN CLAIMS ESTATE.
Wealth of Chicago Publisher Hangs in
Balance-CIaimed He Has Son.

Chicago, Sept. 10-Claim. has been
made for the 100000 estate of Will
liam Henry Lee, the deceased head of
the publishing house of Laird & Lee,
by Mrs. J. A. Stone of Burton, Kan,
on behalf of a lost son of Lee, whose
name, she says, is Charles Watts. Mrs.
Stone asserts that she is the sister OF
Lee and that Lees correct name was
jeremiah Watts. She testified in the
office of Assistant Attorney General
Thomas J. Young, who has charge OF
inheritance taxes for the state.
William Henry Lee was the name
adopted by jeremiah Watts, my
brother, who was born in Crawford
county, Illinois, in 1S49," said Mrs
Stone "He took that name when he
deserted his wife and little baby in
1881. When he left he borrowed $50
from the keeper of the general store
and never paid it back.
81 know he is the same man because
met him later, when 1 came to Chi
cago, and 1 went out to dinner with
him often, perhaps fifty times. 1 in
troduced him as my brother to various
Chicago people. My brother told my
mother what name he had taken"
Mrs. Stone denied that there was
any negro blood in her brother or in
any members of her family, whom
she described as 'swarthy."
The hearing was attended by rep
resentative of the public administra-
tor. Unless an heir is found Lees
fortune will revert to the state.

TALK IRRIGATION.
Big Conference Will Be Held i'm
Larned in October.
Project to Include Arkansas
River Valley.

Larned, Kan, Sept. 10.-The increas-
ing interest in irrigating from the I'M
derf1ow in the Arkansas valley has led
to the issuance of a call for a big ir-
ration conference to be held at Larned
October Z and s.
1t is to take in the entire Arkansas
valley from Hutchinson west to the
state line, and the municipal officers,
Commercial clubs, and farmers gener-
ally in the valley will be invited
Extensive irrigarfng is now being
done in Pawnee county, both in the
Arkansas valley and the valley of the
Pawnee, from wells in the underfiow.
One of the large demonstrations is
on the big ranch of E. E. FrizelI near
Larned, the site of old Fort Larned.
Here alfalfa and other farm crops are
grown under irrigation.
In the vicinity of Burdett, and in
Hodgeman county many pumping
plants are being installed, gasoline en-
gines and centrifugal pumps being
used.
A dozen large farmers of Barton
county have lately installed irrigating
plants. One of the largest is on the
dairy farm of Norm Duchesne, north
of Great Bend He is irrigating 60
acres with an eight-inch centrifugal
pump throwing 1000 gallons of water
per minute. He has a 30-foot we'll,
about II feet in diameter, and walled
III with OT1ck ana SHe6l iron CASING
from which he gets the water. His
pump is operated. by a 20-horse power
electric motor.
Harry Arnold is putting in a big
plant near Albert; Dawson & Zutav-
ern are installing one on their large
alfalfa farm; Frank Mckinney is put
ting in a plant and Will Stanley has
big pump going on his place.
Several Barton county farmers,
among them Frank Wood, z. u. GanO
and Jacob Alefs are irrigating from
Walnut creek, damming the creek and
making reservoirs.
]. w. Tough, who has one of the
largest plants in western Kansas on
his ranch in Scott county, harvested
six tons of alfalfa per acre for the sea-
son this year. He pumps water from
80 to over 100 feet, as they have to go
much deeper to hit the underfiow out
there. His pumps lift from 700 to 1,6Oo
gallons of water per minute.
Many pumping plants are in opera
ton in the vicinity of Cimarron, Gar
den City, Deerfeld, Scott City and
Modoc.

western Reunion association will be
held in Kansas City, Kan, Sept. %, "a,
25, 26, 1918. The annual reunion camp

full Paris lake for boating purposes.
and in fact everything to make a few
days of camp life for the veterans en-
joyable and ideal. The reunion is the
twenty-eighth that has been held in
this city by the Southwestern Reunion
association in as many years. This
alone attests the merits of the reunions
held here This year the camp will be
called Camp J. w. Ruby, in honor of
Capt. J. w. Ruby, who recently met
death very suddenly by falling from a
sand tower and who served four years

DON'T BE THIN
No Need of Being Scrawny, Weak and
Emaciated.

In these days of physical culture and
health foods one would hardly expect
to see any thin. weak, emaciated peo-
ple. but in spite of all this, nearly ev-
cry person you meet is thin and
scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food
with thorough assimilation of the fat
giving elements Nine people out of
ten in order to weigh as much as they
ought and be perfectly healthy, should
use Samose, the great f1esh-forminS
food Weigh yourself before commence
ing to use these little tablets, and see
how your weight increases.
Samose has valuable fesh-formiLg
and tissue building properties, and
when it is assimilated with the food,
it causes the flesh-making elements to
be retained and the weight is natural
ly increased.
Geo. w. Stansfield. the popular drug
gist, has sold in the last few weeks
great many packages of Samose, ev-
cry one with his personal guarantee to
refund the money if it did-not give sat
isfaction and has had but one person
ask for the money baek.-Adv.

boring a we'll on the farm of Ulrich
Gantenbine, Is miles southeast of
town in jefferson township, the we'll
borers noticed a strong odOr of gas
They held a match over the mouth of
the we'll, then 81 feet deep, and a
terrific explosion followed, throwing
the two diggers several feet from the
well, and smuggling theid hair and eye
brows. A column of flame shot into
the air, burned a few minutes, and
then died out. A cottonwood limb
lying near the we'll was thrown on
top of a nearby windmill by the
force of the explosion.
A strong odor of gas is still notice
able at the we'll. Digging commenced
Wednesday and went SO feet No
water was found, so the well was sunk

USE FOR DESERTED STATION.
Convert Wichita Structure Into Home
for Railroad Men

Wichita, Sept. 10.-When the Santa
Fee railroad is through with it's old
stone depot on East Douglas avenue
1t may be converted into home for
aged railroad men. J. M. Hannaman
of Wellington, conductor on the
Santa Fe railroad, was in Wichita, and
he advocated using the building ma
terial in the depot to construct a home
for aged railroaders at some place an
College Hill. Mr.. Hannahan did not
know whether any action would be
taken on his proposition or not. He IS
just advocating it.
AS the Santa Fe railway has no
home for pensioners in this section of
the country, the proposition of Con-
ductor Hannaman likely will get lot
of support from Santa Fe railway men
of the southwest. The agitation may
be taken UP by local business men. 1t
is believed that the city can be in
duced to provide a site for a home.
What to do with the old depot is
still a puzzle to the engineers in
charge of the union station work They
have advertised it for sale, but have
not received any offers that they think
are worth considering. The offers,
they state, are all too low. The ex-
press, mail and milk buildings are for
sale also.

Discharge of Gun.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Sept. TO-
Fred Riley, young farmer of Rocky
Glen, was found dead in a corn crib
on his farm Tuesday afternoon, with
the entire top of his head blown off
by the discharge of a shotgun.
