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 )

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.

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.

A CITY LUXURY.
Just as the city looks to the country for most of the luxuries used
on its tables , so the country must turn to the city for those conven
iences which are justly termed luxuries for the hard-working house
wife. City housekeepers have learned to realize that to save time is to
lengthen life.
is one of the best known city luxuries and each time a cake is used
an hour is saved. On floors , tables and painted work it acts like a
charm. For scouring pots , pans and metals it has no equal. IF YOUR
STOREKEEPER DOES NOT KEEP IT YOU SHOULD INSIST
UPON HIS DOING SO , as it always gives satisfaction and its immense
sale all over the United States makes it an almost necessary article to
any well-supplied store. Everything shines after its use , and even the
children delight in using it in their attempts to help around the house.
