the game commenced. After the game
had progressed some little time , the la

from a lunch basket fished out a large
bottle which atone time contained Hos-
tetter ' s bitters ; but from the zest with
which she enjoyed the beverage , some
thing more exhileratingthan Hostetter's
bitters had been substituted for the
original contents of the bottle. The at
torney was asked to refresh himself but
( irmly declined. Pulling a well-thumb
ed newspaper from his pocket , he marked
an article and handed it to his fair temp
tress for her perusal. The article was

Talking Irrigation.
Imperial , Neb. , July 30. [ Special ]
The present dry weather has turned
the thoughts of the farmers of this sec
tion towards irrigation and a company
with a capital of $100,000 has been
formed at Holyoke , Colo. , to secure
practical irrigation if possible. It pro
poses to construct a canal ninety miles
long from the Platte river and use the
storage reservoir plan. Our country
has been settled long enough to cer
tainly establish the fact that a very
small amount of irrigation , added to
the rainfall , will secure a large crop
every year. Oar soil is as good as any
in the state and if the scheme can be
made a success our section will develop
into as good a farming country as can
be found in the west. Journal.

the outlook is encouraging. Quite a

General Reqret Expressed.
When it became known that Mr. Laws had
ent a telegram to the convention of the Sec-
md district , yesterday , declining to allow his
lame to be used as a candidate for renoml-
lation , there was a general and deep regret
expressed by his associates here. Mr. Laws
las done excellent work , and while he has
> een quiet about it and has made no noise ,
le has secured for himself a ground work of
egislative education which , with another
erm , could not have failed to have been of
snormous benefit to the state. His removal
xoni the arena of legislative matters retires
i faithful public servant from the service of
he state , and while his successor may be j
: qually good he will labor under the disad-
rantage of lacking the experience which Mr.
Laws has been securingduringthepast eight
n onths. Wash. Cor. in to-day's Journal.
