feoen, who represent a company of
Western capitalists, has completed the
preliminary surrey of the irrigation
ditch to connect the Arkansas river
with the Cheyenne bottoms and has
found no serious obstacles. A meeting
of farmers and citizens of this place
was held Wednesday and Eoen, for
the company, said that if he could get
the right-of-way free he would put 200
teams to work on the ditch at once
and that by April 1 next he would bare
it completed, thus securing the water
of the spring freshets.
- A committee .of prominent citizens
and farmers was appointed to secure
right of way for that ditch. So far as
heard from the farmers have expressed
their willingness to give the right of
way and it is thought the committee
will win over the undecided ones.
When this ditch is finished it will run
into an artificial lake with an area of
64,500 acrt's. The practical irrigators
all unite in saying that this will greatly
benefit this section.

Declared Elected
It is now about definitely settled that
the two men elected as contingent judges
of the supreme court will be declared
elected and seated. It will be remem
bered that the returns show
that the proposition to increase the
Dumber of supreme court justices from
three to fire received a large majority of
the votes cast on the proposition, al
though not a majority of the whole
280.UOO votes cast at the election. 1 -
The vote on the proposition waa cast
in a separate box. It will also be re
membered that the two fusion contingent
candidates for the two new seats thus
created received a majority over their
republican opponents.'
The state canvassing board canvassed
the vote, but entered no definite finding
more than that the proposition to in
crease the number ol justices did not re
ceive a majority ot the total rote cast at
the election, giving the 1 figures for ' and :
against the proposition. ,7 t
It is learned that after investigation
Governor JiaJeoinb has prepared cer
tificates of election for the two -fusion
candidatesjMrt Secretary of State Piper
has declinedto sitfn, them." a '
' It has further been ascertained that
before Senator John Watson in
troduced his joint resolution for an

shall irom this date until the clow of

that shall arrive and pay for them under
the conditions and under the terms of
theon tract existing between us; but
with a view of protecting your ' interest
we shall retain at the factory all state
official until the close of the present,
campaign, and should the incoming
legislature provide by the passage of a
specific appropriation sufficient to pay
the factory what they would be entitled
to receive under the act of March 29,
1895, then we will immediately pay for
all beets grown that shall be received at
the factory under the terms of this
year's contract,1 the difference between
price pain and o per ton.
We pursue this course becaune the
amount of beets that will ruu nuder our
test of 80 and 12 will be small in propor
tion, and to avoid the necessity of mak
ing a separation. '
We enniHstly hope that the -farmers
may get together and insist upon the in
coming legislature promptly making the
required appropriation, thus enabling u
to pay them the entire amount of f 5 per

the fact that we shall be pleased to have

Correspondent, Captain Weylersald: 'l
have twenty-six battalions, ranging
from 800 to 1,000 men each, occupying
all the hills of the province These
columns have destroyed everything in
sight and have been able to subsist on
the cattle of the insurgents, whicli
were found grazing in the hills, and
with whose destruction died the re
maining hope of sustenance. They
must either starve or submit and som
may prefer to do the former, owing to
their remarkable apathy.'
" 'But why are there so few presen
tados, general, in ot her words, persons
willing to lay down their arms?'
'That point is easily cleared up. I
know that they have held meetings
with the idea of cominjf in as presen
tados, but have been told that I mur
der them all, which n absurd, is it
not? Certainly I shall not harm them,
knowing that they hope to throw away
ieir arms and pose as pacificos.'
"You can tell pretty well by tb'
number of arms given up how mry
have been concealed, caii't you?'
" 'I am not sure there are mora
arms than there are insurgents. Thep
show their desperate condition. ' I can
tell you that 1 know positively that
Maceo himself went three days with
out food before he was killed.' '
- " You still believe him dead?
, " 'Beyond a . doubt, certainly. We
even know where his body is, but we
do not like to disinter it, as it would
savor too much of the profanation of a
grave.
" 'Why has Arolas left the troche
with 8,000 men to take part In the ac

"'Because the necessity - for the
