AN IRRIGATER'S ITINEBABY. During the week I. A. Fort has been visiting the towns between here and Julesburg and viewing the different irrigation plantsthat have been set up along the valley of the South Platte. From Mr. Fort's statements he Ts surprised and astonished at the ca pacity of the pumps that - lift the water, and are operated by wind mills. A number of the plants will irrigate over twenty acres. The model plant that every farmer in western Neoraska whose lands can not be irrigated by canals, must have, was found two and one-half miles east of Paxton. The owner had erected two fourteen-foot vane- less windmills each working: an eight-inch pump with an eight-inch stroke, pumping from .a depth of thirty-four feet. The water was conveyed into a reservoir made by excavating the earth from a space 100x140 feet in size, the depth of the water being six feet. This lake will be used to grow fish and fur nish ice in winter. When nicely sodded and filled with water it will be one of the most beautiful as well as one of the most profitable places on the farm. The owner estimates that he can irrigate twenty-five acres this year, and in time that forty acres can be irrigated. The cost of this plant was about $400. The most surprising result that had been attained was the success the people about Paxton were meet ing with in making reservoirs from the coarse gravel formation upon which the town is located. If earth reservoirs can be constructed from Paxton gravel that is merely thrown up in an embankment, and the bot tom puddled, what must be the suc cess that may be obtained on the clay, the loam, or even the sandy ands of Nebraska. The low cost of construction of these reservoirs, and the low price of the pumping plants, argue well for the great suc cess that will yet be met with in our county as well as state. When this system becomes uni versal some of the plants that only cost from $80 to $100 will irrigate rom five to seven acres of land. Quite a number of the farmers-south of Paxton who are residents upon thehigh lands are putting up plants. These will be compelled to pump from eighty to 150 feet, but they claim that the same amount of water on the uplands will go from three to five times as far as the same amount applied on the low bottom lands. Mr. Fort states that it would pay our farmers who are contemplating putting up anything of this char acter to visit Paxton and examine the different systems. After seeing the gravel reservoirs they will never' say that water cannot be held any where on Lincoln county lands, even in the sandhills. Fancy pictures the good time in the future, when on every Lincoln county farm where water is not sup plied from canals, will be seen the mills busily at work, the refreshing sheet of water wherein will be grow fish for the family of the farmer, the reservoir surrounded by an orchard, and thrifty growing crops.This is the good time coming to Iincoln county and Nebraska. Maxwell Melange The weather has beeen very cold almost like autumn, - during the past week, and overcoats and win ter jackets which had been put away, are again being used and found to be very necessary articles. Mr. McMamara and his little boy spent Monday in Gothenburg. Dr. Donaldson, of North Platte, was in Maxwell Tuesday. Hardly a day passes without bringing to our doors three or more hard-up men asking ior bread. Many of them look like working men, and it is a pity that they are unable to find employment. Miss Nugent, of Cottonwood Springs spent Saturday and Sun day in Maxwell. Born to Mr. and Mrs. C. "W. Home a daughter May 21st. G. Snyder went to North Platte last Tuesday. The young people are anticipat ing having a delightful time at the dance May 31st. C. H. Kuhns was on the sick list several days last week, but is im proving at present. Both Sunday schools were well attended last Sunday, and church was held in the evening. The farmers are becoming almost discouraged again, because it is so dry, but we are pleased to hear favorable weather reports from places. 9 - It is well to be a "S'wamp Angel," at least during?- this dry weather, beause nearly affcthmgs grow finely in a swmp. Thishas' been, proven by George Clark. His morning- glories are so large that not long ago a party of persons riding over the prairie took these vines to be- cottonwood trees, and' did not ob serve the differenceuntihtold. There was ar4anceinithe Cotton wood school hbusenearithe ceme tery last Friday '"might,- .hd ttie following named r young persons from Maxwell were in attendance: E. Delaney, A. W. Plumef, F. Nu gent, A. Workman and F. Ayer. All report having had a pleasant time. It has been suggested that we hold a picnic here July 4th, instead of on the Island, for the reason that if we were to have it over there, the "old folks" wbuldn't go, and many of them could not go because of the distance. I wish to say that there are "old folks" on the Island," too, and it has been a case of "stay at home" with them for years, as there was no bridge across the river, and now perhaps they could not come over here to-a picnic. Why not have one here, and another on the Island if we wish to make a complete sacrifice vfor the sake of the old folks, and " then have the dance here in the evening, when all of the young folks can meet and enjoy themselves? Clytie. BRADY BUDGET. H. C. Timm transacted business in Gothenburg, this week. Mrs. JSrbe, of Gothenburg, visited J. H. Giffins on Monday. R. C Burke made a"trip to the county hub, Tuesday. A. W. and G. D. Mathewson were at North Platte Wednesday. It looks as though Brady would be deserted on Decoration Day every one will be at Ft McPherson. Cy Carson and H. 'Brown were visitors at North Platte on Wed nesday. Several couples- from here at tended the dance at Cotton Wood Springs Fridy, from .reports, they did not enjoy .themsplyes to any great extent. ,.ir The crops in'.tjiis, setfiori are very much in need of rain,, and if some is xot receivedsoon there will be many farmers leave for a climate where there is less wind and more rain. Wm. Kinney, who has been visit ing at R. C. Burk's, returned to Cozad Wednesday. Morris VanTyle left on Saturday or his home in Iowa. He will make the trip on his wheel.' The section men took a trip, to Hendry Monday, where they spent a pleasant day unloading cinders. A birthday party Jwas given by Mrs. J. M. Marco tt-ilast evening, the guests being treated to a most royal supper, after which the "light fantastic" was tripped till the wee small hours morn. j- The game of ball between the Cottonwood and holtte nines was postponed from last Saturday until this coming Saturday Wiggins. A curious documentary com ment on Great Britain's attempt to steal 10,000 square rililes of Vene zuelan territory haslbeen unearthed at Honolulu. In the old times when under the queen or her pre decessors, Hawaii was under Brit ish influance a map'-of Venezuela and Guiana, was filed at thebritish foriegn office It was the official survey of the British territory and conformed exactly to the lines as now contended for by Venezuela. This map simply goes to show that the british contention for the dis puted territory is of very recent origin. The attempt now being made by the British government to show that it always claimed this territory -is very thin in the pre sence of an old official map of this sort. Journal. " i? General Cameos, the Spanish commander in. Cuba, nas given orders to have' any" American re- porter snot wno visits tne uoan rebels whithout his permission. Ot course the war. correspondents in Cuba will pay ho attention to this threat, for they must get the news. But if .Spain, ,had not been allowed to-take ier .own time to apologize for theAllianca affair, General Cempos would be a little more diplomatic about giving orders to shoot American citizens without trial. The French cal!1:his a bad year because their treasury deficit will amount to $11,000,000. But they have the consolation of looking down the line and seeing the United States at the rear, with a deficit of nearly five times that amount. I ! iS TTT jPECIAL MILLIMEY SALE.

I LGV Nebraska Notes. A telephone line is to he estab lished from Butte to Niobrara. Sandy Jackson is under arrest at Chadron for attempting to shoot Sheriff Bartlett. Although not in the drouth belt, Platte county has 500 acres' under irrigation. Jacob Bloom is under arrest at Pierre, charged with stealing forty- three head of cattle. Ex-congressman McKeighan is much improved in health and hopes to soon recover his sight. About twenty-seven acres of beets near Norfolk were washed out by the rain and will have to be re planted. The mother of Charles Osborne, a Hall county citizen, is dead, after having lived 100 years, 2 months and & days. The Nebraska state dental soci ety will hold its annual session in Norfolk Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Selah Abbott, a white-haired union veteran, was waylaid by two men at Chadron and robbed of S500 back pension money he had just received.' The Gazette at Bigspring has been revived. Its publishers an nounce that it will sit on the fence politically, and howl for free silver at the popular ratio. Stantn claims the most degraded citizen in the state. After purchas ing a pint of whisky he induced a six-year-old boy to drink enough of it to make him beastly drunk. "While parties at Eagle were dig ging a grave for Mrs. Greenfield, a skeleton was exhumed, supposed to be that of a man named Bader who was buried twenty-three years ago. Frank Stortz, a forty-five year old citizen of Newman Grove, hanged himself because he had a $1,200 mortgage on his place. He owned $2,000 worth of unencumb ered property. The Grand Island sugar factory has contracted for an acreage of beets large enough with a fair crop to insure a five months' run. Hun dreds of farmers applying for seed were turned awav. The eight-year-old daughter of James Delahunty of Dawson county was kicked in the face by a horse and remained in an unconscious condition twelve hours. She will recover, but can never erase the ugly scar. Charles "Wilson thoughtlessly in duced Peter Moody's wife to elope with him from Daykin. The pair were arrested at Minden. Moody forgave his wife, but there was no one to forgive "Wilson. Consequent ly he is in jail. It is simply marvelous, cruelly remarks the Lexington Pioneer, how quickly recuperation takes place in Nebraska. People who drew aid last winter in Dawson county have so far recovered as to be able to purchase bicycles. The fee of $40,000 which Secre tary Hoke Smith has just collected from a railway corporation is not so much as he has frequently taken away from the pensioners in a single day to make a democratic record of economy. It is not surprising that there should be a great increase in the importation of shoddy under the Wilson bill. It is a shoddy piece of legislation and was passed by the shoddiest administration every known in Washington. Joseph Swartz, of Shamokin.Pa., won the wager that he could drink a ouart of whisky at one draught, but unfortunately for his neighbors the money won was not enought to pay for the funeral, which" almost immediately followed. r MI GRAND OPENIG t -AT THE- Star Clothing House.
