THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1900,

DRY FARMING IS PRDVENSUCCESS Any Kind of Crops, It Is Demonstrated, Can Be Grown By This Method.

ARID SPAIN IS ADOPTING IT SPOKANE, WASH., AFTER A SPIRITED CONTEST, HAS SECURED THE FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION. (American News Service) Washington, Nov. 26. Results from the International Dry Farming Exposition, recently held in Billings, Mont., are apparent. The fact most convincingly demonstrated by this exposition waa that there is no crop, which may be grown In a given latitude or altitude or by any other system of agriculture, which cannot be grown by dry farming methods. This revelation is more clearly understood by an announcement made by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Nine years ago he had Prof. M. A. Carleton sent to Russia to purchase samples of durum seed, a certain kinc of wheat which was grown and used very extensively in Russia, Arabia and other places, where the country 13 subject to lang and dry summers, wilh only about ten to twelve Inches of rainfall. The trip cost the government 110,000. Farmers Given Seed. This seed was distributed among the farmers In the Dakotas and elsewhere, and In eight years the aggregate crops amounted to $200,000,000. From the United States consul to Spain comes the news that the farmers of that country, at best in the semi-arid region of which Servillo is the center, are interested in dry farming methods. The rainfall in that region is usually less than 25 inches, frequently falling below 13 Inches. Thus, the only way that the soil in this section can be developed successfully is by the dry farming methods. Agriculturists of this region are watching with interest the organization of an international system of cooperative study of crop production under semi-arid and arid conditions and are anxiously waiting to learn the form of procedure. Dry farming has found its way even down to Australia, says Consul J. F. Jewell, of Melbourne. In a report he furnishes concerning American grain samples imported into Australia for experiment purposes, he says that while senator of the commonwealth parliament was in the United States recently attending the dry farming congress he grasped the opportunity to procure samples of the grain exhibited and to gain all the knowledge of dry farming methods he possibly could. The samples of the dry farming products brought back with him are new on exhibition, by direction of the Prime Minister, in Queens's Hall in the Parliament House. Arrangements have been made for 48 samples of the best selected grain to be exhibited at the forth-coming Queensland Jubilee exhibition at Brisbane, Queenland. Spokane, after a heated contest with the delegates from the cities of Rapid City, S. D. and Colorado Springs, has secured the fifty Dry Farming congress to be held in that city next fall. The Spokane delegates announce with enthusiasm that the corning congress will eclipse Spokane's record as a convention city. KILLS HER FOE OF 20 YEARS. "Tho most merciless enemy I had for 20 years," declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., "was Dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after eating or drinking and could scarcely sleep. After many remedies had failed and several doctors gave me up. I tried Electric Bitters, which cured me completely. Now I can eat anything. I am 70 years old and am overjoyed to get my health and strength back again." For Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Kidney Trouble, Lame Back, Female Complaints, it's unequaled. Only 50c at A. G. Luis' n Cos. Mad Dull Boy Smart. Once upon a time a stern father called his son to him and severely addressed him. "Child," he said, "you re walking in the way of stupidity Instead of pursuing the path of intelligence. You are neglecting your books and allowing your miud to sink into dullness. I must do something to awaken in you a realization of your error. Go to the orchard and bring me a switch as long as your arm aud no smaller than your little finger." The boy went as directed, and after he returned he and his father were alone in the attic for several painful minutes. . Moral. There is more than one way to make a'boy smart. New York Herald.

Just what to do when the kidneys are affected, is a question that concerns both young and old. Weak kidneys neglected in childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of advanced years, with less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth or age, languor, backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi ness and nervousness make life a burden. There is one remedy that acts directly on the kidneys and cures these troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe their world-wide fame to the fact that they cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Follow the example of this Richmond citizen and you will be convinced that this is so. Mrs. James Henry Brokamp, 62 Sherman street, Richmond, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in my family off and on for at least six years and they have brought such good results that we always keep a supply on hand. Whenever an attack of backache or any other symptom of kidney complaint appears, Doan's Kidney Pills are used and they never fail to bring relief. I have no hesitation in recommending this remedy."

SMITHSOrrSBEOUEST Origin of the Famous Smithsonian Institution.

THE CONTROL OF ITS FUNDS. Unci Sam's Treasury Holds Its Mensy, Which Can B Used Only on Appropriation by Congrasa Its Peculiar Relation to the Government. Although the name of the Smithsonian institution is a common household word in America and millions of persons have visited the great buildings in Washington where are stored the contributions of science which have been gathered under its auspices, few understand the real relation of the institution to the national government. Most persons believe that it is a part of the government. The Smithsonian institution, snys tho Washiugton Times, occupies a peculiar relation to this government. It is a part of it, and yet it is not a part. Its moneys are in the United States treasury and can be used only on appropriation by congress, and yet this money does not belong to the government. It is to tho government only as the money of a ward is to a guardian. James Smithson , who contributed the bulk of the fund in the hands of the institution, was an Englishman, the son of a peer of the realm. He was a man who could trace his ancestry back to royal blood. He never visited in America and was never known to have any particular partiality for America until he wrote his will in 1826. He died at Genoa In 1829, and when they opened his will this Is what they read: "I bequeathed the whole of my property to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." This property amounted to about $500,000, which was In that day a princely fortune. Six years after his death the United States legation at London was informed that there was about $500,000 in the possession of the adjutant general of the British court of chancery awaiting claimant. Immediately there arose in America all kinds of opposition to the acceptance of the money. John C. Calhoun and William G. Treston urged with all the fire of their eloquence that it was beneath the dignity of this government to accept such a gift. Bjt John Quincy Adams and others prevailed, and Richard Rush was sent to England to prosecute the claim of this government. He was successful, and on Sept. 1, 1S3S, the money was delivered at the mint in Philadelphia in the shape of 104,960 gold sovereigns, which were minted into $ 508,318.46 in American money. This sum by careful management and by additions from other charitably inclined persons has now become about $1,000,000, which the government keeps and pays interest upon for the maintenance of the institution. For the first eight years the money lay In the treasury while plans were being formulated for the permanent establishment described by Smithson in his will. Thousands of letters were received, and there were schemes enough proposed to bankrupt several governments. Congressmen debated over this fund repeatedly, and hundreds of pages of the Congressional Globe were given up to it. The institution has been worked out on such broad lines as to be one of the greatest forces in scientific research in the world. The board of regents is composed of the vice president of the United States, the chief justice of the United States, three United States senators, three representatives and six citizens of the United States at large. The National museum, the weather bureau, the zoological park at Washington, the fisheries bureau and the astrophysical observatory have been developed by the institution. The objects of the institution, as described by its first secretary, Joseph Henry, have been adhered to through the years of its existence. They are to increase knowledge by original investigations and study either in science or literature and to diffuse knowledge not only through the United States, but everywhere, especially by promoting an interchange of thought among those prominent in learning in all nations. No restriction is made in favor of any one branch of knowledge. The leading features of the plan of Professor Henry were, in his own words: "To assist men of science in making original researches, to publish them in a series of volumes and to give a copy of them to every first class library in the world." Books, laboratory accommodations and apparatus have been supplied to thousands of investigators throughout the United States. Unprincipled Wrstch. "Yon simply cannot trust anybody! declared the lady.

The Fighting Cocks inn, on the river Ver, St. Albans, said to be "over 1.100 years old. claims to be the oldest inhabited house iu the kingdom, but the Saracen's Head, Newark, memorable in the story of Jeanie Deans, can actually, it seems, show title deeds dating back to 1341.

One of the four teachers. Miss Grace A. Austen, director of music, tendered her resignation when gossip linked her name with the president. Another, Miss Mary S. Bucks, preceptress, became defiant, and defended the president, while a third, Jliss Mabel Beidler, violin and piano teacher, like Miss Marie Hubbel. a vocal teacher, welcomed an investigation. Impromptu mass meetings of students, boys and girls, were held, and demand was made that President Kiekhoefer have a hearing, a petition urging an investigation or his resignation being discussed. Meanwhile members of the board of trustees of the association arrived, each of the twenty conferences of the association being represented with Bishop Thomas Bowman, Kansas City, Mo., presiding. President Kiekhoefer tendered his resignation and the executive committee, after a session of many hours accepted it. Specific charges by his students and villagers alike are: That President Keikhocfer some time ago. was seen to caress Miss Austen as she sat at the pipe organ in the chapel.
