Talk on Irrigation
A rousing county meeting was held
at Lexington for the purpose of naming
the dates of the Nebraska State Irriga
tion convention. Wedneaday, Thnra
day and Friday, October 7, 8 und 9,
were the dates named for the atate
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 tha
Platte was the most magnificent valley
be ever saw and with irrigation a veri
table garden of Kden.
Senator Akers said that since t887
Nebraska's progressive farmers had
built over 2,000 miles of Irrigation
ditches, over 1,009,000 seres of land
were reclaimed, with over *10.000,000
in increase of land values. Thu next
three years Nebraska would have 8,
000,000 acres under irrigation. Mr.
Kdmisten did not hove time to talk,
but assured every one that Lexington
would equal any city in Nebraska in
looking after stale irrigation meetings.

of government; that the reserved pow
ers of the state are inalienable and can
not be bartered away or anrrenderad
by the legislature.

New Process for Heel Sugar.
Fremont dispatch: Messrs. J. W.
Sell mil and William Peterson of this
city have applied for a patent on a new
method of manufacturing crude sugar
and syrup from sugur beets. These
two gentlemen have succeeded in mak
ing raw sugar which is much superior
to that first made t>y Mr. Peterson
about two months ago. They eatiinste
that from one acre of liccta of average
yield sixty-five gallons of syrup can be
made. The sugur they have mttde. even
in its raw state, euu be used for culin
ary purposes, and lias very little vege
table taste or flavor. The cost of ex
truding the sugar from the beets is
only about a fourth of the cost of the
present method. Mr. Nehadt is well

CRISIS IN CUBA.

Hanana, Keb. 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. Hen. IV ey
lar has left I’orto Itico for llavanii.
It is not alone the approach of the
new coinniandei*-in-chlef that causes
anxiety and intensities feeling, hut
the general consciousness tiist the
military, political and financial strain
ia too severe to last long.
The Mpsniah opinion Is that real wur
Is about to ba made, and that In a
brief campaign It will be shown that
the march of the insurgents through
the island could not huve happened if
the regular army had been actively
handled
The < ubuns claim that they grow
stronger in the field and that, the
rebel force* are being strengthened
by bands from the east 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
centration of the armies Iri the Prov
ince of Havana promises combats of
Increasing Importance and decisive re
sults before the end of March.
The excitability of the sympathizers
with the Insurgents about Oeueral
Weyler Is almost incredible His com
ing Is a nightmare to the Cuban
autonomists, who anticipate relentless
persecution and are largely, according
to their ability, taking refuge in the
