Ordm from the country and along the line of the Union v 4lt W mj 0VUU1WU. Tms current number of "Arid America" contains a lengthy arti cle on "The subterranean supplies of Nebraska and the great plains, from the pen of our townsman I. A. Fort. Among other things he say 8. Nebraska has much to feel hopeful for when the water supply that underlies her surface is taken into consideration. Admitting that there are certain lands that cannot be irrigated by any system of canals. the inquiry follows, wbat are the available water supplies tbat can be obtained by pumping or water lifting devices. Underlying the surface of a great proportion of the area of the state, at depths varying from tento two hundred feet, are vast deposits of water-bearing gravels and sand that will always furnish an inexhaustible supply of water for any number of pumps or water-lifting devices tbat, in time, may be erected to irrigate the lands of the state. The source of this supply does not come nor originate in the snow of the mountains, but is the water that has fallen on the plains and has, bv the law of gravity. found its way to the general water levels of the country that underlie the surface. There may be a large amount of water that finds its way southward under the surface of the earth from the Platte rivers east of North Platte, but the volume is not great. That a small amount of wa ter mav find its way underground from the table lands of Colorado or Wyoming, is probable, but the , mi amount is not large, i nis is proven by the slow speed at which water travels underground. This speed has beeen given by French scien tists at about one mile per vear, where the fall is one foot per mile. This statement applies to the porus water-bearing sands and gravels. The velocity increases when the gravel or rock are of coarser char acter, or where the fall is greater than one foot in a mile. The Nebraska crop report for the week ending last Tuesday is sum marized as follows: The week has been warm and showery and unusu ally favorably for the growth of ali crops which are now more than two weeks in advance of the season. The temperature has been from nine decrees above the average in the western part, of the state to thirteen degrees above in the east ern. The rainfall has beep very irregularly distributed. Over some small areas it has been too scanty for the best growth of crops, but generally the ground is in excellent condition and all vegetation has made remarkable growth. Rye in some of the southern counties is al readv beginning to head, and small grain generally never looked better at this season of the year. Corn planting has made rapid progress during the week and much of the early planted is coming up. Fruit trees are setting unusually full and as there have been no frosts during the week, fruit prospects generally remain unusually promising except that there are some complaints of small fruits, especially raspberries, winter killing considerably. The New York Times has already considerately fixed up the represen tation on the money question in both national conventions next year, and be careful figures shows that the single gold standard men will have a majority in each. The Times is a prophet without honor iu any part of the country. In 1888 it sent its "rainbow chaser"through the northwest about three months before the election, and he consider ately gathered every one of them into the democratic fold. It was unkind of the people to vote the other way and give republican ma jorities in every state the Times had set down for Cleveland, but the peo ple have always been lacking in proper consideration for prophets, and it would be just like them to laugh at the prophecies of the New York Times regarding the next national conventions. The Tennessee legislature has finally counted Governor H. Clay Evans out and given it to Turney. Eyans was the republican candidate and was elected by 748 over Turney, his democratic competitor. The election was held under a law pass ed by the democrats and democrats had charge of the voting precincts and they were astounded when the count showed that Evan was elect ed. They have turned him down in spite of the protests of all the lead ing democratic papers and the de cent element of the democratic par ty of the state, and when the next election for governor is held in that state the democratic candidate will be so badly beaten that he will scarcely know that he waa a candi date. Ex. By a new French law any one found guilty of revealing the ion tents of a private letter will be pun ished with imprisonment for six days, the term , to be increased where the opening of the letter is not accidental, even if the contents have not been divulged. The law is aimed particularly against the practice of the concie'rges. Some of the middle-of-the-road pop patriots of this state have found out that a man mav wear his lungs out, go hungry and blow in all bis wealth to boost some fellows into a fat office, who will then kick them out of the shop when they want a a a . a tew crumbs from the pie counter. Some of them are mad now, and are roasting Gov. Holcomb to turn. Seward Blade. George M. Pullman has confided to an interested public he has slowlv rormea conviction tnas ne was mucn nappier wben ne was a poor boy earning his living by bis daily labor than now when he i? worried with his millions and burdened with tne weignc or 'vast interests and business cares. Wealth, he says does not bring happiness. Mr. Pull- man is evidently Betting reaav to buy happiness for the rest of his davs bv unloading his surplns and withdrawing from the Millionaire club. Bee. Liter Oosai Olipi- Times may still be hard, but the 1,200 American who sailed for Europe last Saturday all carried let ters of credit to European bankers, and they will be followed by thous ands more to keep up the flow of gold across the Atlantic and insure good times in many European sum mer resorts. IE we could only keep Americans at home for one or two summers we could keep enough money at home to bring good times again. The Oregon Packing & Fertiliz ing Company has been incorporated at Portland for the purpose of can ning horse meat for the French and German trade. There may be no way of interfering with such a busi ness, but whatever the views held in Franch and Germany regarding horse meat, Americans will have nothing but contempt for the men who will coldly butcher horses for profit. The horse is held m too high esteem for such a business to flour ish here. Better let the horse busi ness disappear entirely than to raise them for the meat market. Secretaries Herbert and Lamont are getting ready for their regular inspection in meets, Last summer they inspected the Yellowstone Park and the Pacific coast in a private Pullman car, and then the summer resorts on the Atlantic coast on the government dispatch boat Dolphin. These two Cabiaet officers, who di rect the movements of the army and navy, are ready Jfor an other inspec tion tour, and the summer promises to oe a very gay one in the ixockv Mountain resorts and later at But Harbor aad Newport. The modern inspection of the army and the navy is a full drees air throughout. I v rt' Ex-Governor Campbell; of Ohio sees no hope for the democrats in the Buckeye state this var. Tn an interview published by the Cleve land World, Governor Campbell says: "In order to achieve a demo cratic victory a change of 70,000 votes would be necessary. The change from 138,000 republican plurality in lsu to a democratic plurality in 1895 hardly seems pos sible 11 That will account for Con gressman Paul J. Sorg's lack of interest regarding a democratic nomination. Mr. Sorg prefers to manufacture plug tobacco and make up the financial losses he sus tained in securing an election to congress in a democratic district last fall. He can't buy all Ohio. BOTH WXRK UNITS OF YAXUS. Jadfe ;Ylaoent's DmUn ReearsUas; the Use or Money Metals. Chicago. Mar 9. Dnriar a recent discussion at the Iroquois club between Postmaster Hesing ex-Mayor Hopkins, Sigmnnd Sieslur, W. S. Forest, the last two Drominent lawrera. the truthful ness of certain statements in reeard to the unit of value in the United States from 1793 to 1873. was Questioned. This argument resulted in a. controversy which, by agreement, waa referred to judge William A. Vincent, president ox the Wanbanaee club, for decision. Mr. Seisler stated that under the statute of 1792 both gold and silver were made units of valnft in th United States. Ex- Mayor Hopkins denied the proposition. T a tt- " . . - - ouugu v lucent says in nu aecuuon; "I am of the oninion that under the act of 1792 the unit was to be the dollar, the value of this unit was to be meas ured in both gold and silver, 371J grains being the quantity of silver and 2434 trrains beinir fch nnantitv of irold. s ag, c7 o TL w which were to equally express the meas ure of the units adopted. As I conceive this to be the point at issue, as under stood hv tha nartiAa in tha eontrorerST. and which was intended to be expressed in the written statement thereof. I de cide in the affirmative of the proposi tion." Tweaty Counties For Silver. Springfield. Ills.. Mav 9. Secretary of State Heinricbsea, chairman of the Democratic state committee, said that 20 counties hare so-far held conventions and without exception they have de clared for free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. "These 20 counties," said Mr. Heinrichsen, have 463 of the 1,076 dele- trates in the state convention, so that the gold men stand a very poor show of making any fight at all in the conven tion. Only one county committee so far has refused to call a convention. I am expecting that the state convention will declare for free silver witnous a dissenting vote."

Ind.. May 9. Fif teen workmen employed in' the Cheens cement quarries at Cemantville are ly ing in a critical condition as a result of breathing the gag generated by blasting in the quarry. Jhe quarry is fully 900 yards deep, stretching uMergroajw back ward frora the edge of tha pond. The entrance to the cavity is just large enough to admit the worksaen oae by one. The- foul air could not escape as fast sis geotntsd., Pittsburg, May 9. The Amalga mated association of tin, iron and steel workers and the Merchant Bar Iron Manufacturers' National associa tion have entered into a combination to secure for the iron workers of the coun try better rates of wages and for the manufacturers fair competitive condi tions against the mill operators of the Pittsburg district, who have been work, ing their employes at low wages. An association of manufacturers has been formed, principally outside the Pitts burg district, to secure remunerative prices for iron products, and incidental ly to give the workmen better wages than are now paid, which are admittedly too low. The strike in six mills of this city at the present time is the result of this agreement The Pittsburg puddlers are not only striking for present scale rates, but, if successful, will make it possible for all the iron workers in the country to secure an advance of 10 per cent on the $4 puddling rate. The manufacturers may be willing to grant a much higher advance if they can secure a uniformity, of labor cost throughout the country. The Cleveland convention will probably propose a pud dling rate of $4.75 per ton, and possibly $5. The finishers are to be advanced also, but not in proportion to the pud dlers. Should the plan succeed, upward of 60,000 iron workers will be benefited. President William J. Smith, of the American Flint Glass Workers' union, in discussing the industrial situation, said: "The movement to secure better wages will not be confined to any one trade, but will be made by all. The time has come and the worker will have an inning. The restoration should be made, and it will be the best thing that can happen in this country at the pres ent time." Mine Owaars Wllllas; to BMome. Wabdneb, Ida., May 9. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan management having expressed a willingness to resume work in their mine at $3 for miners and $2.50 for car men and shovelers, the business men of Wardner and Kellog drew up a petition pledging the com pany their support.

The owners of the 10 plants involved will not, they say, grant neither demand. BnrllactoH Will Rum Excarstoaa. Chicago, May 9.

The recent shipment of hounds to its ranges by the Standard Cattle company for the pur poses of exterminating wolves is prov ing a successful plan.

The feature of the show is the display of St. Bernards. The collie division is also attractive. With the exoeptioa of the pointer and English setter classes, the hunting breeds are not extra well represented, while, strange to say, there is not a wire-haired km terrier er a poodle in the show. Will Resaaae at the Sixty Ceat Bate. Massillon, O.. May 9. The miners employed in the Krause mines have held a meeting and decided to resume work at the 60-cent rate for the ensuing year. State President Ratchford, of the min ers' organization, stated, however, that there is no possibility of the districts adjusting the respective rates, even though some operators have expressed a willingness to pay in excess of 60 cents.

A. today delivered an address of between $5,000 and 80,000 words, in which he nude suggestions and recommendations covering practically every leading ques tion of the day. He denounced the laws which accept the vote of the ignorant foreigner who is unable to read or write the English language, and rejects the vote of the intelligent women who are directly interested in the welfare of the nation, and who has proven her ability to manage public affairs. He declared that the city of Washington is "a peren nial hotbed of Jesuitical lobbyists, why carry their points by bulldocing and boycotting senators and representa tives."

President Traynor then declared himseltto be in hearty ac cord with the sentiment to send the A. , P. A. to every civilized country on the globe.

P. A., and advised the support of a new political party which will endorse the leading ' principles of the .order or the support of any national party which will endorse the leading principles of the order and . accept the doctrine of the A. P. A. Blaad Not aa Available Caadldate. Denver, May 9. Ex-Congressman Bland of Missouri, who will lecture in Denver Saturday night on the "Twenty Years' Battle for Silver and the Fight Yet to Come," is resting quietly in this city, as he is still suffering from the ef fects of the grip. He said today: "I have not heard of the efforts of my friends in St. Louis in the way of secur ing for me the nomination of president by the free silver Democrats in 189t. In fact I do not thing that I am the proper man for them to select. In my public life I have never made a fight to get per sonal advantage for myself. Especially is this true in the silver cause. I have fought for the cause itself. In doing so I have made too many enemies among my Democratic friends for me to be an available candidate." Selected Delegates to the Sllrer Coaveatlen. Spokane, May 9. wnen Governor McGraw was here last week he stated in an interview that he had declined to appoint delegates to the silver conven tion to be held at Salt Lake on the 15th inst.

ChaaiploB Expresses His Willingness to Meet Peter la London. Chicago, May 9. Regarding the re port that he is to fight Peter Jackson, James J. Corbett, who is at the Audi torium hotel here, said this afternoon: "In regard to the report that I will fight Jackson, please say that anything that Brady gives out can be relied upon as straight and I will stand by it. I don't see one chance in a thousand of the Fitzsimmons fight coming off now that the only two places that have al lowed a fight to come off in the last three years, have been knocked out. I would rather fight Jackson, who is ac knowledged by the public, and by Fitz simmons himself, as the superior, and have always wanted to fight him, but he would fight nowhere else than "Lon don. I will take him on his ground, at the National Sporting clnb." Dallas May Get the Big- Flrht. Dallas, Tex., May 9. It looks now as if Dallas would surely get the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmons prize fight, and that it will come off during the Texas state fair and Dallas exposition next October.

Letter Demaadlas; the Recall of Minister Tharstoa Is Read. San Francisco, May 9. Hawaiian advices received today from Honolulu, dated May 2, per steamer Mariposa, are as follows: The letter demanding the re call of Minister Thurston is here, and was read to the executive session of the council yesterday afternoon. This let ter has been to Hong Kong. It went past Honolulu in a bag with a couple of hundred others. The fault lies with the postoffice at San Francisco. The ground of the objection to Thurston is confined io a single transaction. The sole of fense alleged is that Thurston, at the legation, showed to reporters private letters to himself from Honolulu. The particular letter that gave such offense to the secretary of state, intimated in strong terms that Cleveland and Gresham were largely responsible for the Janu ary uprising here. Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian minister about the mat ter. Thurston said that he regretted it very much, that in the hurry of handling a big mail he had shown this letter, with others, without any special intent. .In -short, he apologized. Secretary Gresham thereupon asked that the apology be submitted in writing. Thurston de clined to do this. It is definitely settled Thurston will not return to Washing ton. He has resigned his office, his res ignation to take effect when his suc cessor has been appointed. No Settlement la Cuba. Havana, May 9.
