The Nebraska legislature lias ap propriated 125,000. for the trans Mississippi exposition. Valentine, Nebraska snbmittad a proposition to the people to vote (10,000. for the parpose of con structing a naw school house. The vote was taken lest Monday and eurried with a hurrah. D. Reynold* says, the idea that the populists and democrats should expect prosperity so soon, and before McKinley is seated. “Why," said be, “It Is just about as foolish as to expect spring chickinsfor breakfast when you bad only set tbs bun the night before."

The parents are very mush alarmed over tbs sondi tioa of their children and a mad stone has been telegraphed for from Iowa. The our was promptly dis patsbed. Now the land of the big red ap ple has famine sufferers of its own to care for. A bill has been intro duced in the Arkansas legislature aettiug asids $100,000 to loan to the drouth sufferers in the southern part of the state, and giving $25,000 outright to alleviate present distress. The southern counties were affected by the drouth to such an extent that some of them now have as many as B00 families living ou tur nips. The northern parishes of Louisana are also in sore disticss. It Is feared that many Nebraskans who went south two years ago, al lured by red apple stories, are among tbs sufferers.—State Jouraal. The people on the Ord branch of the U.

Irrigation Id IIIIdoIn. It has recently been announced that an experiment with irrigation on the far** connected with the eastern Illinois Hospital for the In sane near Kankakee, has resulted in an unexpected and most pronounced success. Utilizing the the pnmpmg plant already iu use and petting in a eys tern of pipes fer conveying the wat ter from the Kankakee river, an additioual expenditure of $1,500 Dr. Gapen, the Superintendent, has made it poetihle to irrigate 150 acres of land. It involves the furnishing of 50, 000 gallons of water per acre. This is selflcient to cover an acre a little less than two inches deep. The sys tem was put under direction of Mr. W. II. Harris an employe and lea er of the band there, who has been somewhat familliar with irrigation in California. The results accomplished are well elated in this comparison: Last year the crops of the insane asylntn were ruined by the dry weather, and it costs the institution about $15,000 'I’ltiu i onr u/illi «n equal dry season, there is such an abundance that not a dollar will have to be expended, and, indeed, there is a large surplus for slock feed. The past thee years the thousand acre farm has suffered so much from lack of rain that the garden products have been practically worthless. Last year fourty acres were planted to potatoes and did not return sufficient to make good the seed; cabbages were dried up; vegetables were no mors than stalks, and small fruits withered for lack of water. This year the fourty acres that last year failed to pay expenses will furnish from 5000 to bOOO bushel of potatoes. There are cabbage enough to give cash in mate of the asylum forty heads. Six crops of peas have been gathered, and the crop of radishes and other vegetables has been sueh a tremen dus one, it was found nesessary to enlarge the root house ia order to provide for room for its keeping. Raspberry and blackberry bushes which were set out last spring bore fruit, and of the thousands of cherry trees planted since winter not one has died. Here, then a total outlay of $1, 500 on one hundred and fifty acres has been returned out of the first crop, more then ten fold, or mors then #15,000 for the institution. And yet as an illustration of irri gation, it only represents an inciden tal feature of it. It only serves to illustrate the immense advantage to the fanner of having the water abso lute!) under his control. In this ease the water has bee i used bat j once upon his land. It has been •imply n tilling over in a dry period. In regular irrigation, it i* u«ed from twice to six time* aaen*on, and in atcad of two iucbe* it i* often advi» able to put ou two feet of water per ncie.

Entrance to the vault was made in the side wall to the vault aboet elghtcon in ches above the iloor through a thick double wall of brick, •ufliciently large for a medium-eized man to enter. The inner plate »f the vault door was then nnboleted at the prop er place to utiloek the (Ire proof vault door. The attempt to blow the safe was made with nitrogly cerine on the door, but no im prassion made, excepting a muring of the vareisli. The safe was then turned on its face and attempt made again, but with no better sueoess. The thieves only carried away one revolver, which they found outside the vault, leaving a much better weapon lying under the cashier's window. Something for Nothing.
