The versatility of Buffalo Bill is
already tho wonder of several continents
but ho has done nothing yet to excite
surprise until a few dnys ago ho an
nounced his intention to establish a
Quaker colony on his private domain
near North Platte. "Peaco hath her
victories no less renowned than war,''
says Col. Cody, "therefore why should
not Buffalo Bill become Quaker if he
sees fit?" No reason at all, William,
that is thy privilege, and tby friends
will wish tho well shouldstthou conclude
to become a meek and lowly wearer of
tho drab. Yea, verily. Kearney Hub.

to tho wishes of Boss Buchapan; but no
matter with what apparent care the
deputio3 wore selepted in order to pander
to as many political elements as possible,
the pop party in Lincoln county will bo
but a stinking reminiscence two years
hence.

That was an amusing incident at the
district court yesterday afternoon, when
T. Timothy Keliher, deputy high sheriff
of Lincoln county, attempted to hold a
man whom he knew to be a non-resident
in the court-room for examination as a
juror while talesmen were being drawn.
A boy who has lingered around a law
shop as long as Timothy has 'should
have known better than to attempt such
methodB. It required a vigorous nega

let go. Of such timber does the popu
list party mako officials.
Ten years from now and- Nebraska
will have more miles cf irrigating ditches,
more prosperous and happy farmers to
the section, and more surplus cash in
her banks than any other western state
Irrigation will revolutionize farming in
this state. Instead of the farmer plod
ding over and cropping 320 or more acres
he will give forty or sixty acres his best
attention. Less money will bo invested
in machinery, fewer laborers will bo.
needed and the net income of his farm
will bo greater. Tho owner of irrigated
farm is the most independent man in
tho country.

Tho revival services closed Sunday
last and Mr. Nathan left Monday for
Fremont, where ho has been engaged to
labor for a month. As a result of his
labors in this city about two hundred
came out on tho Lord's j-ide, and will
hereafter aim to lead a moro christian
liko life. It is said that as a result of
this meeting, fifty persons will unite
with the Presbytorian church next Sun
day, but we cannot vouch for tho correct-ess
of tho statement. Wo hope,
however, that all who stood up in tho
meetings and signified their intention to
become christians will remain true to
their intentions. In this connection we
wish to state that wo have no apology to
mako for tho matter published in these
columns last week. Our criticism of
Mr. Nathan was endorsed by many of
tho very best christians, of all denomina
tions, and be?ides it would bo a
pretty mess if an editor should not bo
accorded the privilege of expressing his
opinion, so long as that expression was
honest and free from vulgar taint. As
to the communication by "Catholic" we
have only to say that an cditior does not
nocossarily endorse tho opinions ox-presed-by-
correspondents, yet in this
particular instance thoro was nothing at
which a good christian could take anv
very great exception. A very readable
reply cr uld be written to the "lady's"
communication in last week's Telegraph,
but wo believe that tho people have al
ready had a surfeit of tho matter.

It was reported here Tuesday morn
ing that a bulletin had been posted iu

in tho light of tho recent judicial rulings
in that city. With possible congressional
action upon tho power of United States'

It is a source of wonder to tho stran

' This will bo a great crop year, and
tire agriculturist who religiously eschews
politics and devotes a goodly portion of
his time to preventing the veeds from

ably better off at tho end ot tho season
than the ono who comes to town to lis
ten to street-cornor oratory. A word to
the wiso is sufficient In this connec
tion it might bo well to state that Sec
retary Morton's remarks in regard to
the individual who farms tho farmers
aro beginning to be better understood
by the thinking and reasoning portion
of the agriculturists; and a mention of
hisTuamo no longer causes noDuIist

The pupils at the Central school build
ing no longer march into their respec
tivo rooms to tho monotonous tapping
upon a drum. Tho resonaut calfskin
appears to havo outlived its usefulness
This is as it should bo. Old military
men long havo kuown that when a col
umn of men is required to march across
a structure like a floor or bridge a vi
bration was occasioned that was injur
ious to tho structure. For this reason
it has Jong been tho command to
"break step" when passing over such a
structure. It scarcely can bo urged
that the custom formerly in vogue here
has had a beneficial effect upon tho old
structure used as a high school building,
The idea that it inculcates lessons of
patriotism is as absurd as would bo tho
claim that boiling a huge lot of beans
in;a campkottle thus recalling an in
cident ot army life would bo conducive
to-the same purpose. A thorough con
ning of tho history of our country would
Ignore beneficial and more lasting.

jA.nd now it is whispered that a strong

is carried out and tho musicians will
now. and then drop into tho way of
occasionally running in as an interlude
a little 3-4 or G-8 movement it will be
the best attended and most popular

North Platte, Neb., Feb. 14, '94.
Mr. Editor: As there are so many
people in North Platte who think and
cannot see why railroad men do not save
more money than they do I will show
what my check was for the past month,
and where it has gone, and perhaps some
of them can show where we can save in
some way, as I cannot see but where 84.50
could bo cut off. on this bill, and that is
for music lessons.

Prospects for the political pot boil
ing to overflowing at the spring election
are excellent.
My check amounted to $97.85, which
is a fair average of engineers' pay, except
for about three months in each year.
Now in order to got a fortune by railroad
ing a man has to commence at the age of
twenty-one and work until he is sixty-
nine, and when he dies his wife will re-
ceivo $4,000 if all insurance is kopt up,
and the wife does not die first. Now is
not this a bright outlook for a railroad
man? I have a wife and five children.
When does the editor expect to get his
pay for tho papor? I guess he will have
to wait anothor pay day. No thanks, I
don't smoke this month, I will try and

Tho North River Ditch.
Tho great irrigation ditch project
which has been mentioned several times
in this paper is proeressing finely, and
there seems to be no doubt of its being
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible. John Bratt or North Platte, general
manager of the irrigation company, was
in town last Saturday on his way from
tho scene of operations to North Platte.
A News reporter interviewed Mr. Bratt
and secured several items of interest
concerning tho progress of the work.
Tho snrvey is being made by C. A.
Walker of this place, and is now com
pleted from the starting point, almost
due north of Chappel, Deuel county, to
Clear creek, in this county. So far a
good grade has been obtained and no
obstacles encountered.
The actual work of digtriBg the ditch
will be begun as soon as epriBg op eat.
"If everything goes right," raid Mr.
Bratt, "and I havo no doubt it will, since
the company has been organized, 500
mon and teams will be. employed in the
construction of tho ditch. Wo mean
business, and will push tho ditch so as
to havo water for this season's crop."
The reporter inquired if any applica
tions had yet been mado for land under
the ditch.
"Yes," said Mr. Bratt, "several appli
cations havo already been made, and I
havo letters every day inquiring about
the ditch." '
This project will be a great thing for
Keith and Deuel counties if it is pushed
to completion on the scale contemplated
by the projectors, and there is overy
reason to believe it will be. Ogalalla

in pattisfriB an oatMt tkaa tke proper
size of cylinder for different elevations,
ami tha nmnnrtionata size of pine for
ma ,r;fti flifrnrant cvlindera. Mem who
for twenty-live years have been selling
the old slow-running wooden windmills,
with short stroke, do not realize ma in
putting up a modern, fast-running, steel
mill, witk a stroke twice as long, they
must first reduce tne aiameier 01 wm
mriinar and then nrovide a large dis
charge pipe to carry off the greater
volume of water. With the wooden
windmill which has four or five inch
stroke, one inch pipe or thre-fourths

pipe without bad results, because the
wheel has not power enougn 10 injure

The steel mill nas power enougn 10 de

I frequently have men say to me about
like this: "We have been using one
inch pipe with three inch cylinders for
many years, and can't see any reason
why we should use larger pipe now." It
7a nnitA tha annnnil Vifilinf that it is easier
to elevate water fifty feet through a one
men pipe tnan tnrougn one ana one-nan
inch pipe. The fact is overlooked that
toVmIa tha nrnirrVit. rtt tratAr in fliaonn nnd
one-half pipe is two and one-fourth times
as great as in the one inch pipe, still the
water in the one inch pipe must be
raised two and one-fourth times as fast;
and because of greater speed, there is
more than six times as much friction in
the smaller pipe.

For the nurnose of simnla illustration.
let us suppose cylinder and pipe to be
square instead of round, the larger
squares in the above diagram represent
ing the cylinder, and the small squares
the pipe. Tho proportionate area be
tween three inch cylinder and one and
one-half inch pipe, is shown in figure 1,
the area of the cylinder being four times
that of the pipe. Fig. 2 shows the pro
portion between three inch cylinder and
one inch pipe. The cylinder in this case
having nine times tho area ot the pipe.
The same proportioh exists between
cylinder and pipe of the usual form hav
ing corresponding diameters.
As a consequence, where one inch
pipe is used with three inch cylinder,
the water must rise in the pipe nine
times as fast as it rises in the cylinder.
When it is remembered that the piston
with an eight-foot stroke Aermotor on
an eight-inch stroke travels at its max
imum speed, forty-eight feet per minute,
or on the up stroke alone twenty-four
feet, the fact appears that with three
inch single acting cylindfr with eight
inch stroke and one inch pipe, the water
in the pipe must travel 216 feat ner aaiav
ute. When no air chamber is used, the
speed saet Beosssarilr be at ffc ef
432 feet per minute, tokiw tataeoa-
ideratioa the fact that the frictxM in
creases accerdiBf to tha square ef the
velocity. Figure 3 represents the pro
portionate speed in different sizes of
pipe used in connection with three inch
cylinder with eight inch stroke its
proportionate standing is one to four to
nine.
The proportionate amount of friction
in raising water fifty feet vertically with
the same cylinder is like one to thirteen
to seventy-two. Bear in mind that this
proportion is for a direct vertical lift of
only fifty feet. In forcing water a long
distance the friction in a small pipe
would be very much more.
Let me consider a case where water is
forced away 2,000 feet to an elevation of
only fifty feet, using three inch cylinder
with inch stroke and one inoh discharge
pipe. The least possible friction under
the most favorable circumstances with
check valves, straight pipe and large air
ohamber would require as much power
as to raise water with thn H Jim ft Mrlmrlnr
and pipe vertically 187 feet. In" actual
practice, nowever, the circumstances
could not be found to reduce the friction
to so small amount If no air chamber
is used or if the air chamber is insuf
ficient and them nro Kni-arnl allmtm ri-
uw.v.M V
sharp turns m the pipe, the amount of
friction in the one inch pipe will easily
become equal to a vortical lift of 500 or
GOO feet By using one and one-half inch
pipe under the same conditions. ih
friction with everything oronerlv
arrangod, would be reduced so that the
total power required would equal a ver
tical head of about seventy feet, which
is so reasonable an amount that it would
not endanger the safety of the outfit.
The use of three inch pipe would reduce
the friction so that it would hardly be
noticable.
The load to be carried by the wind
wheel depends upon its speed, because
the friction in the pipe increases accord
ing to the square of the velocity of the
water. This accounts for the fact that a
windmill often works satisfactorily in
moderate winds, while in a Btrong wind
tho pump pounds, or tho pump pole
breaks, or something else goes wrong.
Even though the amount of friction may
not be so great as to be apparent in the
improper working of the outfit, still the
fact remains that the windmill is un
necessarily overloaded by the use of
Bmnll pipt A windmill is not so unlike
any other piece of machinery but that
its" durability depends very largely upon
the amount ot work which it is required
to do. An intelligent farmer will not
make a practice qf hauling four-ton
loads on a waaon intended for no mnra
than two, ton. Whv then should h
load his windmill to many times the
amount of work for which it is intended?
After all that has been shown would
seem unnecessary to call the attention
of anyone to the fact it ia Yery poor
policy to attem.p.ttq save something on
the first cost of a windmill outfit, by pur
chasing pipe ot a small size. The tempt
ation to do this is greatest where water
is to be forced long distances; but tb.u ia
just the place where larger pipe la most
necessary. The man who uaes small pipe
not only increases tha wear and tear ot
his winmynd pump, but runs great
risk of something breaking or getting
out of order. These difficulties aro al
most certain to arise when the outfit is
moat needed, and serious loss from the
delay in making repairs is likelv to
occur.
After a man has bad difficulty through
using small pipes, he sometimes advances
the argument that because the pump
can be operated with comparative ease
by hand it ought to work all right with
a windmill. This does uot necessarily
follow, for theso reasons: In operating
ujr uuuu me biroKe is mucn slower, usu
ally shorter, and the power applied is
less positive it the pressure becomes
too great, the man will work slower and
will stop frequently. The windtnUl

HIGHEST MARKET PRICE
Paid For Country Produce.
Use large pipes. .The outfit will be so
much more satisfactory that you will
thank me for insisting on larger pipes. I
would rather not sell a windmill at all
then sell it to be attached to a pump
where the diameter of the pipe used is
less than two-thirds the diameter of the
cylinder.
Study over this matter until you are
thoroughly convinced that too large
pipe cannot be used, and you will then
be able to more easily impress its im
portance upon you.
