By F. M. KIMMELL. THE UNDERFLOW. An Important And Accidental Discovery in Rawlins County , Kansas. , A Possible Solution of the Great Question Irrigation. Great excitement now exists in this locality on account of an experiment of .several parties who were looking for tfce underflow. It appears they com- UMHioed work near the head of Flana gan's canon near the Indian Sprjngs and ran u tunnel haul ; only about twen ty rods when the water broke through the blue clay or shale in such volume as to whisk the workmen and their teams down into the draw and drowned one mule and two horses , the men bare ly escaped with their lives. The vol ume of water now gushing out and run ning dnwn the draw is about ton feet wide and five feet deep. That it is claimed fully Bottles the underflow theory. Mr. Flanagan has already been offered $10,000 for hi ranch. It is believed that this volume of water will irrigate 25,000 acres. The city of Atwood is negotiating with Mr. Flanagan to secure the flow of water to irrigate the city and furnish an abundant supply of water for Beaver Lake and Keystone roller mills. This experiment will be fully explained at the meeting to be held at Oberlin. The news has been telegraph to the officials interested in the irrigation scheme and they are expected to come and fully examine the discovery. It seems that "by the merest accident the whole ques tion of irrigation has been solved and that western Kansas will now have such & boom as never before known in the west. We will give in our next issue the full particulars. We only learned of the wonderful find as we are going to press. Rawlins Count- ( Kansas ) Democrat. H. M. J'otter informs the Republi can that about five miles northwest of Hayes Centre , at the Christner farm ott the Blackwood , is a well only nine feet deep , at which 500 hundred cattle have been watered without perceptibly lower ing the wat r in the well. Now this well is not many rods from the channel of the Blackwood and there is a gradu al slope of the ground from the well down to the creek. It is believed that a ditch 500 yards long would run this water out into the Blackwood in such a volume that a live stream would be created along its whole length. . If any one is incredulous we will say that not more than twelve miles west of this well is a natural spring continually flowing a large volume of water , and that the altitude of the spring is greater than the location of the well. We be lieve it would pay the farmers along down the Biackwood to investigate this matter , and if they can get a continu ous flow of water into the Blackwood , of which we have no doubt , by running a.ditch to or in the vicinity of the well , it would be greatly to their advantage to combine together and dig the ditch , farmers from Hayes Centre all the way to Culberison residingin the vicini ty of the Blackwood are interested. Talk it up. The Republican will give $5 toward the expense of testing the matter. Hayes County Republican. Religion and AJIiance Politics. From the New York World. The great number of the leaders of the Peoples' party movement in Kansas are infidels or free-thinkers. Some few of them are Unitarians , whose belief is much more liberal than that sanctioned by their church. "Sockless" Jerry Simpson is a pronounced unbeliever , and during his campaign for congress in the Seventh district the whole force of the church was arrayed against him. Mrs. Lease is an infidel , and Mrs.Diggs , who , next to Mrs. Lease , was the most powerful campaigner in the Peoples' movement , is a very liberal Unitarian. Fundamental Doctrines. from the Richmond Independent. The people demand and will have what is right. If any party on earth demands more , they are a failure. If they demand less , they ought to die. It may be a question among the con testants as to what is right and what is wrong. The majority rules. Col. Ingersoll'States a Secular Fact. From an Interview in Minneapolis Journal. There are a lot of men in this world , who think they are d d important. But they aren't. FROM THE COUNTY'SEAT. Epitome of the "Week's Events at the Seat of County Affairs.

Irrigation meetings are held at Dun can Bros. ' store quite frequently of late. S ' Charley Colling has purchased the remnants of the grange stock of goods. The Alliance people in this part of the county are in favor of pushing the state contest. There is a larger attendance of scholars in our city school than there was last winter. Judge E. S. Hill and Mr. Steel have been surveying a proposed canal from the Red Willow creek. One of our leading dressmakers went out into the country , Grst of the week , to make up the trousseau of a prospec tive bride. The breach of promise suit of which we spoke , last week , promises to resul in the tying of the matrimonial knot as was at first arranged. Mr. and Mrs. P. S.

VanDorn , to give his views on the question of irrigation , but we were not quite prepared for his bold ana original pian 01 taming cue not winds. Original ! "Well we should smile. " "Dreaming dreams that no mortal ever dared to dream before. ' His elevated pipe lines would cost at the very lowest estimate $2 per foot The total cost to Red Willow county would be $7,603,200.00 , or $330 per acre. Injustice to Mr. VanDorn , how ever , -we would say that he expects the 'General Government to loan the people ple the money at 1 per cent. Besides in tlfe winter time the holes could be plugged and the western end of the pipes he extended into Wyoming and attach ed to the oil wells and then we could have coal oil for fuel instead of corn. The railroads would have to reduce the freight rates on coal or go out of business. REWARD. , On Wednesday my heavy shaggy long cloak , with no trimming but large buttons , was given by mistake to some drouth-sufferers. A reward will be paid for its prompt return. MBS. Louis LOWMAN.
