A sktkbk frost visited northwestern Iowa Sunday night. Massages to the daily press from Clorerdale states that the asetioa about Sibley was visited by a heavy frost and that the damage to corn has been considerable. Faamms in York county are asking as high as $75 an acre for their land. Buy era ia large numbers from the eastern states are coming to that section of the state to make investments. Good farm land anywhere in Nebraska is very de sirable property. Cncraof thieves are becoming active again in different sections of the state. Last Thursday night at Osceola Max E. Bittaer, city attorney, lost seventy-five of his best thoroughbred Plymouth Rocks and has been unable to find any due to the thieves. A hcok tank used as a stand-pipe for the Madison water supply fell a few days ago. The heavy rains had weakened the foundation so the wall gave way and the tank toppled over.

The progress ia agriculture in the arid states aad territories during the decade ding with 1899 ia shown in the report just published, by the division of agri culture of the twelfth census. As una progress is attributable largely to irriga tion, the statistics relating thereto are of general interest. The number of irrigators in the United States in 1899, not including irrigators of rice, was 106218, an increase in ten years of 99.9 per cent The area irrigated was 7,599,545 acres, an increase of 107.6 per cent. Of this area, 5,944,412 acres were in crops, and 1,595,133 acres in pasture aad uamaturad crops. The cost of irri gation systsma in operation, exclusive of those on rice plantations, was $67,770, 942, while the value of the irrigated crops was $8580,491. The total length of all the main ditches ia the arid and aemi-arid states and ter ritories was 44449 miles. The average number of irrigated acres in farms in arid states and territories wss 71; the average value of irrigated land per acre, $4253; the average value of crops produced on irrigated land, $14.81; the average first cost of water, $7.80; the average annual cost of main tenance, $038. Of the 5,711,965 acres in crops, hay and forage occupied 3,665,664, or 6L2 per cent; cereals, 1,399,709, or 245 per cent; vegetables, 168,432, or 2J9 per cent; orchard fruits, 251,289, or 4.4 per cent; othercrops,22681,or4.0peroent The value of the hay and forage was $3434986; cereals, $143826; vege tables, $9,627,491; orchard fruits, $8,920, 409; other crops, including sub-tropical fruits, grapes, flowers, plants, sugar beets, eta, $16,712246. In Nebraska the number of irrigators increased from 214 in 1889 to 1,932 in 1899, or 80&3 per cent, and the number of acres irrigated from 11,744 to 148598, or 1,1618 per cent. The ditches in oper ation in 1899 had a length of 1,701 miles, cost. $1,270978, and irrigated 147,696 acres. There were 843 acres irrigated from wells. The irrigated area in crops was 129,726 acres, yielding products valued at $982,615. The area irrigated in pasture and immatured crops was 1812 acres. Shortly after saadiag the irrigation bill to the president, oongress passed a resolution authorizing the director of the census to compile statistics relating to irrigation for the crop year of 1902. With the data now assembled, this work will be comparatively simple, most of it being done by correspondence. To secure this information inquiries will soon beaentont to irrigators throughout the United States. The co-operation of those interested in irrigation is earnestly solicited, for upon their prompt response will depend very largely the value of these statistics. This is in part a sup plementary work, the results of which will be utilized in the work soon to be undertaken by the Department of the Interior under the provisions of the irrigation bill. The management of the Fremont ball team announced last week thst they will schedule no more Sunday games in that city this year. The reason given is be cause popular sentiment is opposed to playing on Sunday. tiiffiaaal ft ad. I. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ed. Early of Columbus, came up with the ball team. He made this office a pleasant call .... Mrs. Charles Hudson of Columbus, accompanied by a brother from New Mexico, visited Mrs. Elsie Jones, her dsughter, Tuesdsy. We received a pleasant visit from our old friends Wednesday. 8L Edward Sun. The militia companies of the state will probably be sent to Ft. Riley, Kan sas, for encampment some time during the letter part of September. Company K of this city have not yet received their orders but are expecting them at any time. The states of Nebraska, Iowa and Ksnsss will be included in the encamp ment with delegations from other states of the Union. Walter Galley, Alex Reed and Thorbes Reed, and the Minnas Goldie and Pearl Nichols and Nettie Reed, with s camping outfit, drove up from Colum bus Monday and camped near West oott's, ia the east part of town. Tues day morning the boys left for South Dakota. The ladies visited with friends here for a couple of days returning to Columbus Wednesday. Crastoa States- Friday last at the Union Paeifio depot a' Colambusite, in conversation with one of the eastern delegates to the masting of the grand lodge of Elks in Salt Lake City, asked him his opinion of Nebraska so far as he had observed? His reply was: "Well, air, to tell you the truth, we have been unable to see vary little of it on account of the wil- derasasot corn." natty nearly a ractBtatsmant.tobo A party was given Friday evening at the Dr. Slater 1 asides ss on wast Thir teenth street in honor of Mint Bans aHaiaar of Atkina, Iowa, who is a nines of Mrs. Slater. The lawn was beautified with a number of Jspanose lanterns and plenty of hammocks were provided for the gasets of the evening. While erery thiag had bean arranged for a splendid time at the garden party, the untimely rsia drove the young folks into the house, but they bad a good time just the same aad enjoyed thsmselves as only t with are sat ted and the hour lata before the young folks thought Hoyt, Freddie Fast, Maud Bams, IXXXXXXXX) Grace HoeTmea, Myrtle Hoffi Ralph Wiggins, John Early, Otto George Scott, jr., Fred Safron, John Nenmar ker, Willie Hall, Albert Brugger. Homer, son of Dr. D. T. Martyn of this city, who had been driving n team hitched to a mower on the ranch of Dr. Hansen fifteen miles from O'Neill, waa thrown Tuesdsy last from the mower, the horses stopping suddenly to ehsss flies. He fell in front of the sickle which cut through the heel cords aad deep into the bones of the right foot inflicting n severe wound. The horses started on n walk and unable to stop them, Homer held his right foot up and hopped on his left between the sickle and horses, until he found he was becoming faint. He then threw himself over the sickle away from the horses, and bravely did the best he could to bandage the cut with hie handkerchief, to stop the flow of blood, nnd crawled quite a distance to Ed. Coolidge who was also working in the field. He was at once taken to O'Neill where Drs. Flynn nnd Gilligan attended him and telephoned to his father here. An engine nnd baggage car were sent up, Drs. Evans, Hansen and D. T. Martyn, jr., made the trip to return with Homer, the special arriving here Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock. The injured member is doing as wall as possible, but the cnt is very deep and may yet cause much serious trouble, but the many friends of the young man hope he may get along so that amputation of the foot will not be necessary. As some of our older subscribers who have been reading Taa Joubxak n good many years have written asking sbout the earthquake shock felt in this vicinity n number of years ago, and wanting to know the date, we herewith reproduce a portion of an article given in our columns st that time: "On Thurs day, November 15, 1877, at 1135 two dis tinct waves of earthquake, with numer ous tremors, were felt here, lasting, according to our estimate, about thirty seconds. The motion, some affirm was from the southeast to the northwest; others who noticed the vibrations of hanging articles, aay it waa north and south. The two-story brick bosses in the city were more preceptibly affected than others. At the brick school bouse in district number one the walla were cracked from the foundation up in two plsees, and the school children so thor oughly frightened that they rushed out of the building and oould not be per suaded to reenter it. School was dis missed for the day. A. W. Critea, esq., whose omoe ia in the second story of the bank building, aaya that ha doesn't wish to be invited out to another such matinee. He could hear the grinding of the mortar, and Charles Wake who was in the same building, declares he oould see the walls move. Similar sensations were expe rienced at the court house, and the wall was crackea in one place. Some fear is expressed that the school bouse will not be safe for occupancy in a storm of wind; the damage to the court house is so slight as not to create any npprohonsion. No other buildings in the city were per ceptibly injured, though some of the frame ones creaked and awayed consid erably. There ia no telling what would have been the result if the shocks had been continued aa other time or two. As it was, most of our people bad a slight experience of an earthquake without the disastrous ooasequenoea which often attend them.'' The school building men tioned above ia still doing duty in the First ward. Ctaiaf Taaaks.
