Kditok JoiruttAi,: I see article in

Archer's court, judgment against Mas-
ale, in favor of (Jeo. IHrrett. The
court record should show judgment
against John (lilmore first, as I am only
surety on said note. The mammons read
John Oilmore and Mansie." Articles
of this nature, financially speaking,
are very likely to work against one's

The fallowing dispatch ftoui Dead-

matter of giving charitv to the drouth
stricken unfortunates in the western
part of this state: "A mass meeting
of the citizens of Deadwood has been
held to take action toward relieving
the distress prevalent in some portions
of Nebraska. Committees have been
appointed in every towu in the Hills
and the wtrk of raising funds, provi
sions and clothing already started
upoo. Without hardly an effort two
car loads of flour have been secured
and will be shipped immediately to the
relief committee in Nebraska. No
effort will be spared by the people of
the Hills to aid their neighbors in
need, and from their store of plenty a
goodly portion will be forwarded to re
lieve the sufferings of the unfortuuate
drouth victims."
The ocean, sea and lake surface of
our planet is estimated at something
like H"j,000,(kx) square miles, with an
average depth of 12,000 feet, and is
calculated to contain no less than 3,-
270,r,OO billion tons of water. The
rivers of the earth are estimated to
have a How sufllclent to cover thirty-
six cubic miles of the above era each
day. Now, If all the oceans were sud
denly dried and the rivera would keep
up their present rate of llow (which.
of course, they could not without ocean
evaporation) it would take S-VKH) years
to refill the basin.
