| Talk on Irrigation.
A rousing’ connty meeting was held
at Lexington for the purpose of naming
the dates of the Nebraska State Irriga
tion convention. Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, October 7, 8 and !>,
were the dates named for the stato
meeting, thus making it easy for all
who desire to attend the North Platte
irrigation fair October 12.
Overybody was bubbling over with
irrigation enthusiasm and every assur
ance was expressed that the next con
vention would in every respect exceed
anything of the kind ever held in the
state. Mr. Clarkson said that the !
Platte was the most magnificent valley
he ever saw and with irrigation a veri- !
'table garden of Eden.
Senator Akers said that since 1887
Nebraska's progressive farmers had
built over 2,000 miles of irrigation
ditches, over 1,000,000 acres of land
were reclaimed, with over $10,000,000
in increase of land values. The next
three years Nebraska would have 3,
000,000 acres under irrigation. Mr.
Kdmisten did not have time to talk,
but assured every one that Lexington
would equal any city in Nebraska in
after state irrigation meetings..

New Frauen for Ueut Sugar.
Fremont dispatch: Messrs. J. W.
Schadt and William Peterson of this
city have applied for a patent on a hew
method of manufacturing crude sugar
and syrup from sugar beets. These
two gentlemen have succeeded in mak
ing raw sugar which is much superior
to that first made by Mr. Peterson
about two months aga They estimate
that from one acre of beets of average
yield sixty-five gallons of syrup can be
made. The augar they have made, even
in ita raw atnte, can be used for culin
ary purposes, and has very little vege
table taste or flavor. The cost of ex
tracting the sugar from the beets is
only about a fourth of the cost of the
present method. Mr. Schadt is well
posted on the chemistry of sugar mak
ing, and feels confident that the pro
cess used by himself and Mr. Peterson
will be a grand thing for the farmers.
Enthnalutto Sngw lirnt Producer*.
Neligh dispatch: A large enthusi
astic delegation from here will attend
the beet sugar convention, commencing
at Fremont tomorrow. A great deal
of interest is being manifested in the
subject and negotiations are. in prog
ress with several parties for the estab
lishment ot a factor)-. A disposition is

FLED FROM TRANSVAAL.
Michigan Miners Refused to Take Arms
Against the Boer Government.
I Iron wood, Mich., Feb. 10.—Captain
\V. II. Knight and his party, who left
j here last spring for the gold -fields of
South Africa, have returned home un
j expectedly. Two weeks before Jame
son's raid into the Transvaal the ofll
i cere of the mining companies were
smuggling rifles and ammunition into
the country in the bottom of coke cars
Tuesday, December 31, the mines were
shut down and the men were ordered
to take guns and ammunition and be
prepared to march to Johannesburg by
4 o’clock in the afternoon.
The Michigan men refused *to obey
the order and they were informed
that they must take up arms against
the lioer government or leave the
mines. Captain Knight and party left
at once and were just over the line in
the Orange Free state when the battle
between the Boers and Dr. Jameson
occurred. Mnny miners, says Captain
Knight, were forced into taking up
arms by the officials, who shut up all
the boarding houses and bought all
the available provisions and literally
starved the men into accepting their
terms.
The Michigan men say that John
Hays Hammond deserves no sympathy.

CRISIS IN CUBA.
DMl>'«e Result* Anticipated on tlte I*.
1«»- "'tore the Etad of March.
Haxaxa, f'eb. 10—The public appre
hension and the gravity of the situa
tion on this island can hardly be over
stated. There is a concensus of opin
ion that a crisis is at hand. (Jen. Wey
ler has left Porto llico for Havana.
It is not alone the approach of the
new commander-in-chicf that causes
anxiety and intensifies feeling’, but
the general consciousness that the
military, political and financial strain I
is too severe to last long. j
The Spanish opinion is that real war
is about to be made, and that in a !
brief campaign it will be shown that '
the march of the insurgents through
the island could not have happened if
the regular army had been actively
handled
The Cubans claim that they grow
stronger in the field and that the
rebel forces are being strengthened
by bands from the cast that will
balance the additional troops from
Spain. It would be vain to assert in
dividual Views as to the value of these
claims. One thing is certain", the con

increasing importance and decisive re- •
suits before the end of March. I
me exci tammy or tne sympathizers

Weller is almost incredible. His com
ing is a nightmare to the Cuban

persecution and are largely, according
to their ability, taking refuge in the

cape Prom Death—One Dead.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 10.—An early
morning fire at McKeesport, Pa., re
sulted In the loss of one life, anil the
destruction of property worth 8~00,000.
The fire started on the fifth floor of
the Altoieyer building, and is sup
posed to have been caused by defect
ive electric light wiring. The flames
were discovered by the printers of the
McKeesport Herald as the fire began
to eat its way through the sixth
floor. The night's work had just
been finished and the paper
was about to go to press. When
the flames were seen a rush
was made for the usual point of egress,
but the stairways were impassable.
The only resources left were the win
dows and the ropo in the elevator
shaft. All except G. M. Barton, the
foreman of the composing room, suc
ceeded in sliding down the rope. His
escape was cut off and he was burned
to death.
The flames spread to the adjoining
buildings before they were extin
guished. The loss to the Altmeyer
building and the Herald plant is esti
mated at 8175.000, and on the other
buildings, 835,000.

New York, Feb. C.—Henry M. Stan

written a letter to Major J. B. Pond
of this city, on the Venezuelan ques
tion. In the letter Mr. Stanley says:
“I am entirely on the side of America,
but I must admit that I am not sur
prised that the English papers backed
up Salisbury. Taught by the virulent
remarks of your journals, I hud of
course devoted much time to un
derstand it, whereas English ed
itors were exceedingly ill informed.
Then there are two or three inju

which puts. British backs up, but after
reflecting it is wonderful how many :
have come round to my opinion that ;
whatever the transgressions of OIney, i
there is a great deal of justice in the '
American demand. I feel quite sure !
now that it will not be long before j
the opinion becomes general that we 1
were in the wrong in refusing arbitra- j

PARALYSIS.
I From the Press, New York City.
Morris Preslaner of No. 1 Pitt Street,
New York, who Is a real estate agent
and collector of rents, caught a sever*
cold early last spring, which settled
upon his kidneys. Soon he began to
suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides
and chest. His symptoms grew rapidly
more alarming, until at last he was as
helpless as a child, and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed.
Though a native of Berlin, Mr. Pres—
laner has lived in this country for forty
years, having served the country of his?
adoption by three years' hard service
in the civil war. He enlisted with the
Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, taking:
part in many bnttles and marching with.
General Sherman to the sea. He’ is now
a member of Koltes Post, G. A. R., andf
is one of the most popular men in the
Post.
Mr. Preslaner told a reporter the story
of his dreadful illness and wonderful"
recovery. The reporter met him as he
was returning from a long walk, and.,
saying that he had heard of hia won
derful cure, asked him to tell the story.
His words were as follows: “To begin
with, I was taken sick jurt a year and a
month ago, having taken a severe cold’’
whlch settled on my kidneys. At first
I thought the pain that I had suffered'
Woyld soon pass away, but, instead of
doing this, it grow more intense every
day, so that in a week I could walk only
1 >vun considerable difficulty. >
"X called ip a doctor, who said I tad
ideomotor ataxia arid began treating
me lor that disease. He did me no good,
and all summer long I could scarcely
attend to my business at all. Then I
. called another doctor and took }jis medt-.
cine for several weeks, but experienced
| no relief. Dr. Truman Nichols, of No.
, 287 Hast Broadway,whom I at last called’
in, helped me more than any of the ’
other doctors,’ but along towards fall l
grew worse despite his treatment. ,.-gg
“Early Jn November thS little
Etrecgth I lmd in fT.7 legs left me and
I was unable to stand. The pain in my
back and sides befame ahr.cst unbear
able, and my limbs grew cold. Art
electric battery I bought failed to help*
me, and for Weeks I felt mys^jf grgdti
• ally growing weaker until ail hope left.
“Some time before this I had read of
a wonderful cure a man had received:
from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pal*
People, but was so prejudiced against
what I thought was a patent medicine
of the usual worthless character that
I could not make up my mind to try
them. As my pains increased and death
seemed coming near, I thought of what r
had read and of the symptoms of the
man who had been cured. They were
precisely the . same as mine, and at
last, with my wife’s earnest entreaty, i
consented to try the Pink Pills.
"I am now convinced that these pills#
saved my life. Gradually my strength
began to return, the desire to live grew
stronger within me. After having taken
three boxes I left my bed. This was
early in March. All pain had left me,
and thnt terrible dead feeling in my
legs had gone away. I was still very
weak, but before I had taken the fourth .
box I was able to get down stairs for ;l
short'.walk In r.he open .air. Now I feet
as If r-bad been born again and as
happy fts a child.” >•

its almost unlimited mining Industries

area would make it rank well up among
the richest states of the union.
