It’s iin;io?siblo for a young whisky to bo a
liquor whisky, as it lacks that oily substance.
Thero are sixteon different properties besides
puro spirit generated in fermentation. The
spirit of whiskey never changes. It is tho

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 28.—A spe
cial to the Kan-as City World from To
peka eaya: After hiding for almost
thirty years in the wilds of Dakota
and Colorado, and after the expenditure
of thousands of dollars in fruitless
arch for them, the notorious Bender
family, or some one taken for them,
are under surveillance in Larhmie
county, Colorado, and will shortly
brought back to the scenes of their
early crimes In Labette county, and
probably will be required to pay the
penalty of the law for the nine graves
In their garden and cellar.
The bloodiest chapter In Kansas his
tory is that which chronicles the
events which‘ occurred between the
cloeo of the civil war and the year
1876, No more bloody or brutal crimes
wore committed during that time than
the series committed by the Bender
family, consisting of William Bender
and his wife, his son John and his
daughter Kate. The children were the
children of John Bender and a former
wife.
Early In 1870 tfie Benders came to
Kansas and took possession of a quar
ter section of land, the title of which
was clouded. Rjvul railway companies
claimed the land. The houce which the
Bonders erected was about twenty
miles west of Oswego, the county seat
of Labette, county, and was on what
was then the main traveled road be
tween Oswego Mission and Independ
ence. The Benders w'erc of German de
scent. Their nearest neighbor w'as Ru
dolph Brockman, also a German.
Brockman was generally believed to
have l»een aware that crimes were com
mitted at the Bender hotel, but It pras
never proven that he was In any way
connected with their commit on. Two
miles to the northeast was the home
of Thomas Tyaek, whose wife aaso-
! elated to a great extent with Kate
Bender. Other neighbors wero warned
, to keep away from the Bender home
and none knew tht family except by
sight.
! The Bertdera pretended to copducU a
I country hotyl.itpd store and an Inves
tigation math? after their flight Phoned
I Hint tho place was admirably conduct
ed, for a death trap. Bark of the little
general store was the dining rootq of
the hotel, and back of and V> one t^de
| of this were the rooms for the guests
of the hotel. Under the length of the
whole building ran a collar six feet It)
depth. The bunks In the rooms were
set on trap .doors, which could, be
sprung and the victim dropped into
the cellar, \~here John or his father
stood ready with an axe to kill the
unfortunate.
The method generally employed for
the murder of a victim was
I which Kate wielded th* nxe. This'plan
was always carried out when the vic
tim Mopped nt the hotel only for a
tnenl of victuals. The dlnng room was
divided from the kitchen by a curtain,
which had covered the wagon In which
the Benders came to the state. The
victim wns ulwnys seated with his buck
against this curtain, and Kate, In the
guise of a waitress, would step Into
the kitchen and perform her part with
tho axe when tho victims head rested
for an instant ngaltwt the curtain.
The horror which tho crimes of the
Benders instilled in the hearts of their
old neighbors and succeeding genera
tions may bo Imagined from the fact
that the house has never since their
(light been Inhabited and that nobody
can be hired to approach the Turm af
ter dark. Many of the more generous
ly Inclined residents of tho county de
clare that the Benders were honest
when they settled in l.abcttc
The country had recently been * va
cated by the Indians. otfd the
whites who had been living there for
years had naturally fallen Into the In
dian ways, among which were robbery
and murder. The Bonders saw tho
condition of tho society into which
they had fallen and went to the ex
treme In the principal industry of the
community. The fact is pointed out
that tho Benders planted orchards and
built fences, apparently with the In-
| tentlon of nuking their murder trap
their home for a number of years.
After the Benders had begun their
work of slaughtering all who appeared
to have money or vatuahlcs they
adopted a number of plan* to decoy
strangers to their hotel. Kate Render,

ST. LOUIS. July 28.—A special dis
patch to the Globe-Democrat from Ab
ilene, Kas., says: The Kansas farmer
has been aroused to the necessity of
moistening his fields artificially if he
is to harvest regular crops. The west
ern counties out of which 125,000 people
moved In the half dofcen years succeed
ing 1890 are filling up again, but with
another class of residents. Those com
ing now are cattle men, small ranch
owners and wheat growers. They have
planned their operations differently
from the early days, and every farm
and ranch has a method of securing
some moisture outside of that furn
ished by the infrequent clouds.
On a large scale the reservoir system
of irrigation is being taken up. It has
been demonstrated that the prairie riv
ers will not furnish enough water to
keep the ditches filled regularly. The
Arkansas river is dry nearly all the
summer. Over its half-mile bed one
may cross on white sands and not mois
ten & lady’s shoe. At times, notably
In June, when the sun first melts the
snow on the mountains, there Is a rise,
and the water fills the whole river bed
eight to ten feet deep. The Irrigators
propose to save the water, lending It
by large canals back from the river
to the sites of ancient lakes, many of
which are found on the plains. In east
ern Colorado five such reservoirs have
been prepared, holding enough \vat*T
to irrigate a territory forty miles In
diameter. The Kansas legislature Iras
Jus*, put into effect a law by which
land for such reservoirs may be con
demned by the courts and converted
Into a public utility.
One extensive undertaking has been
begun, the transformation of what Is
known an the Cheyenne bottoms into
lake. This Is a sunken bit of ground
thirteen miles long and eight miles
Ide.surrounded by a ridge nineteen to
thirty feet high. It was once a Ink
but has been used as a coursing ground
and pasture land since the state’s set
tlement. The American Coursing As
soclatlon for many years held Its m^ets
here, and many millionaires came in
private enrs to enjoy the sport.
Members of the English nobility from
Montana ranches also came with valets
and servants. Huge canal:* leading
from the Arkansas river, a dozen miles
away, have been dug and at high wa
ter the whole depression will be con
verted Into a Ink
will be a twenty-five-foot fall, where
the overflow will give power to an elec
tric power plant sufficient to run a
mill and probably a trolley line to con
nect the villages around , the lake. It
will be the largest body of water be
tween tho Mlwourt river ami the
mountains, and as such wlU attract
much attention.
More Important, perhaps, tfian the
reservoir Is the Individual irrigation
that Is undertaken by farmer* nil over
the state. In tho whole seml-arld bolt
scarcely a farmer Is found who has not
some plan for watering a few acres
near his house. If not eovcrnl fields.

four-fan, water-wheel contrivances,
with the lower half boxed up, are fa

South or southwest, so that no great

“hot winds” blow. It is proving the
salvation of the Western farmer, and
Is making him independent.

ing the ditches have been rent to Eu

and other Inducements, such as free
rent for a year. A beet sugar refinery
has been erected at Lamar, and an
other will be built at La Junta. Sugnr
beets grow luxuriantly, and If enough
colonists can be secured to till the lands
there will be a most successful future
for this Industry. During the year It
has been in operation It has proved
extraordinarily prosperous. It Is one
crop that the Western prairies can
raise In abundance every year.

CASH OF HARD LUCK.
From the Kansas City Journal.
The worst case of hard luck ever re
ported in Kansas is brought to the sur
face by talk about the great drought
of ISM. At that time J. P. Brown was
teaming out of Atchison with a lot of
mule*. Feed could hardly be had at
any price. Brown heard that oats could
be bought at * reasonable price st Des
Momes, lows. He took three team*
and made the long drive, getting hi*
oats at a bit a bushed. Then eime the
k>ng drive back to Kanets. And. up^n
arriving. Brown found that for three
weeks “Beans” Pom*-roy, as head of
the aid committee, had been giving
away oat* to all who would come for
them. While Brown was away the
