OUAND ISLAND , Juno 16. ( Special. ) In
the northwestern part of Adams county , In
the \lclnlty of the farm of Fred Crust , hy
drophobia In animals hai caused a great loss
of cnttle , Injury to man and much nnxlety.
Two men have been bitten and compelled to
go to Wjtnore , where a tnadilonc was np-
pllrd , and over forty cattle belonging to
Ernst have been chot after showing sjmn-
tcnu of hydrophobia.
In January a cow vas bitten by a mad
dop. It died and was not burled , beliiR
hauled to sonic of the way place The dogs
In the neighborhood consumed the carcass.
About May 1 It was noticed that other cat
tle showed E > mptoms of hydrophobia. Then
It was that Krnst's first bovine showed the
dlfense and was shot. Porty head moie
have since been lost In the same manner.
A vvnr was Immediately made on the canine
population of that district. Only one dog
la left , and he will soon Join his companions.
Three hogs belonging to Ernst were also
bitten. One of Kicse had extensive tuslts
and Frank Krn t , the son , about 24 years of
nge , was scratched by one of the tusks.
As a con cquptiec ho was compelled to go
to Wymore , where the poison was extracted
Another neighbor did not faro so well This
neighbor , while burying a mad dog which he
had shot , allowed pome of the dog's saliva to
touch a scratch on his hand , and he , too ,
vent to Wymore. He remained there until
he was thought to be safe and returned
home. He has since shown symptoms of hy
drophobia and cerlous consequences are
feared. Desperate efforts ha\e been adopted
to clear the neighborhood of all animals
affected.

Hopplr I'nt In Operation IrrlKntlnn

Jiiuncnso Undertuklncs.
If the matter of reclaiming the seml-arlel
regions ot western Kansas ami Nebraska
by means of Irrigation Is not settled for
all tlmo by the experiments lt progress this
spring , It will not be for lack of thorough
effort. A trip over the western and north
western counties of the state , writes a Kan
sas correspondent of the Olobe-Uemocrat ,
reveals an extent of experiment In Irrigation
beyond anything ever known In the state.
In addition to the $30,000 being spent by
the State Board of Irrigation In testing
the possibilities of artificial water supply ,
nearly every neighborhood , from Cheyenne
county as far east as Dickinson and Geary ,
within ICO miles of the east line of the
Elate , has some one at work on nn Irrigation
plant , many of these being extensive and
costly. The dry weather of the spring nnd
winter has given an excellent opportunity
of testing the systems to the fullest extent ,
and every experiment Is being watched v\lth
eager Interest by scores ot farmers , who are
weary of seeing crop failure after crop
failure under the old system of agriculture.
The condition of todny make many look
upon Irrigation as a last resort.
The result Is that lirlgatlon Is having a
boom not the kind of Irrigation that has
been practiced by big ditch companies and
syndicates , but individual plants , operated
by one-man power and with only a wind
mill to furnish water. Hundreds of mills
have been erected on settlers' claims , In
many Instances the last possible mortgage be
ing put upon the claim to enable the owner
to eecure the new Improvement. Where the
money was not forthcoming , emeer home
made windmills greet the breeze. They are
of primitive form , mostly horizontal , and ap
parently Kansas and Nebraska will soon have
more than the 8,000 mills of Holland. In
Tavvker City , a little town In Northwest
Kansas , twenty-four mills nre lunnlng night
nd day , and keep the lawns In a fairly
merald condition.
JUMBO WIND MILLS.
The most Interesting , because of Its unique
appearance and Its low cost , Is n crude
affair called a "Jumbo" or "mogul" wind
engine , which Is seen In great numbers bo-
end the sixth principal meridian. It Is
Imped like a steamboat paddle wheel , and
s ten to twelve feet In diameter , on a shaft
welvo to sixteen feet long , with eight or
en radial arms. Mounted on two posts ,
horizontally , with a tight board fence bul't
close around It on four sUcs , the fence
covering only the lower half of the contriv
ance , It Is ready for business. It Is Ect
east and west , so as to catch the full
trength of the overblowing south winds ,
and has a pump nt both , ends of the cylln
der. A prodigious power can be secured
by lengthening the shaft , a 100 horco powe"
being secured easily In a fifteen-mile wind ,
at a cost of $400. It pumps night and
day , and Is moved by all winds but two
due east and due west. In a storm It
simply pumps faster , and all that Is needed
: o make It complete Is an Inexhaustible sup
ply of water below It. The long sweeps of
ivlnd , unhindered by tree or hill , makes the
work practically unceasing , and In connec
tion with the Jumbo , as well as with other
ivlndmlll plants of the prairies , Is usually
'on nil.
Not less Interesting than the home-made
iv Ind engines nre the home-made reser
voirs , with which the settlers endeavor to
store up the fugitive ralnfnll from season to
season , so as to eke out the summer's defi
cient rainfall with that hold over from spring
nnd winter. The common method now In
use , nnd which Is operntlng In scores ol
western Knntaa. Instances , Is by the cattle-
treading system of iloor-making After
the teams and scrapers have hol
lowed out a large cellar-like depression water
Is pumped in until It is six inches or mori
deep Then horses and cattle are turned in
nnd driven around and around until the feet
of the tramping hsrd has trod up the bottom
of the reservoir Into a pasty mass that Is
six inches deep , nnd dries on exposure to the
sun Into a kind of cement which will hold
water for several weeks These reservoirs
are located on the knolls In the highest
parts of the settlers' claims , and when there
Is a scarcity of water from the clouds lh
gates are opened and the supply thus hoarded
trickles out over the thirsty lands. Some ol
these reservoirs ore 100 feet sejuare and rep
resent a large amount of work , but they will
repay It when propsrly constructed by the
supply of water furnished when needed..Into
them the windmills pump unceasingly for
months , and the foundation of quite a creek
or prairie river Is formed by the time they
are full
In addition to these artificially filled reser
voirs there Is the damming of draws am
ravines , by which other ponds are formei
and the water held In abeyance , but these
are usually poorly located and cannot b ;
so well utilized.
TUG HIGH UNDERFLOW.
Some years ago there were made some ex
tensive experiments with the underflow , bu.
they were abandoned because of lack of neei
of them. Now , however , their value Is belnt
realized nnd some Interesting results are ob
talned. William Ralrdon of Garden City
who Is building a new ditch , has been eur
prised by the result which the underflow ha
given. The ditch commences about fou
miles above I'lercevllle anJ leads out of th
Arkansas river. It will be threennd a hal
mlle.3 long , and the fall Is bo great that at a
distance of 2,000 feet from the mouth It 1
on a level with iho surface. While at Gar
den City the river haa been absolutely dry
about a mlle nbove the ditch the wnte
comes to the surface , and at the heat
enough water his flowed by to Irrigate 20 (
acres easily. There are several thousam
acres for others to Irrigate In the same man
ner If they can utilize the underflow. A roc
or hardpan shelf across the river's course 1
supposed to act as a kind of dam , and It I
not difficult to see how this can be made t
come to practical account.
Two ditch companies have spent $13,00
this spring cleaning out of their dltchep , In
western Kansas , the drifted sand and rubb'sh '
Then they found that the high winds wer
filling them again , and have been kept bus
for two months preserving them In fair con
dltlon. But they have faith In the prospects
and If the Arkansas gives Its usual Jun
abundance of water the alfalfa fields will b
rich with the succulent product when harves
time comes.
The state Is expending Its $30,000 appro
prlatlon for Irrigation tests rapidly , and Au
gupt 1 will see nearly all of It paid out o
the wells now being put down and their nt
tendant features. The main purposes to be
attained by the commission nre A practlca
test of the water supply ot the uplands o
western Kansas for Irrigation purposes ; t
demonstrate the best method of raising th
water to the surface and storing It , and to as
certain Us quantity ; to find the quantity am
rapidity ot all the streams of the state , am
the "run-off , " or surface drainage , and th
practicability for storing the same , with th
probable cost ot applying the same to th
land ; to prepare a topographical map of th
state ; to ascertain the rainfall and evapora
tlon and left the artesian well outlook.
The bill specifically states that twenty o
moro pumping stations shall be located. Ute
to this time the board has arranged to
thirteen , which , by June 10 , will be In rim
nlng order ; one each In Hamilton. Gray
Grant , Sherman , Logan. Wichita. Grcelej
Lane , Hackell , Trego , Haw Una , Rooks am
Ford counties. The Irrigation commlis oner
have opened negotiations with the Unite ,
Slates geological survey , and the state on :
federal governments will co-operate In eecur
Ing an accurate measurement of the streams
A gauging station has been established o
each of the following rivers ; Solomon. Sa
line , Smoky Hill , Arkansas , Medicine Cree
and Clmarron. It Is estimate ! that the gen
era ! government's work will cost fully $39,00
Itself , making $60,000 being spent in Kanta
alone. In addition , the weather bureau :
uiing Its machinery to add to the other In
formation full details on passing meteorolog
leal phenomena by the establishing ot nev
stations and the addition of new report * .
SOMK IMMENSE UNDERTAKINGS.
The organization of the Irrigation bean
and the Individual undertakings have no
aused any cessation In the work ot the large
lompanlcg and symllcitrr. In Sevvarel county
lings have been mane for 4,000 Inches con-
nuoui flow from theCfmarron to Irrigate
13 12,000 acre XI. itanah , for which the
Itnarron Valley Irrigation company Is nc-
Dilating. The Clmarr'dn Is A never-falling
[ ream and has plentf eif Svater for all other
) lants. Perhaps theUfge'tt plant knonn In
he west Is the big Atame ditch , the first to
ap the Arkansas east ] gt ) the Colorado lint.
t has a capacity of 80,000 acres. Alfalfa U
ic main crop raised nlbfii the ditch. Three
rope of hay nnd end "of Iced can be raised
very year. Sometltnr the profits are $25
n acre , and Severn ) j/anmers have 300 to
100 acres out this spring.
In the northern uplhniis several lawsuits
ictvveon the mlll'rsand. . IrrlgatlonUts arc
ending , the latter t Une so much ot the
treams as to stop the mills. Says one of the
rrlgatlcn boaH "Te < n acres Is enough for
uy firmer. If he Im 160 acres and Is los-
ng money let him ta5IOO ! , and Irrigate ten
cres , nnd he Is Independent for life He
an support his family and the remaining ICO
crcs will all be profit. " -
It Is too much to hope that th s season
lone , even with all the governmental and
Into aid , A'lll accomplish enough to dcm-
nstrato exnctly how much may be nc-
iompllshcd In western Kansas and Nebraska
) > Irrigation. H will be shown , however ,
lint the conditions may b" much nniellornted ,
nd the settlers may como to such n position
s to bo relieved from the necessity of nsklng
'tl , ns was done last winter. The seed grain
itrnlshed by the state will raise nothing this
ear , or next to nothing , and the census now
> eng ! taken will show a decrease In populn-
lon that will be astounding to tinny Twenty
vcstern counties , with n populntlon of 107,000
n 1888 , had last year 46,000 , nnd this year
t vv < ll be much less. Climatic conditions

Prospects of u Hitter War Among the Ohio

CLEVELAND , June JO It now seem :
probable that there vvjll be war to the knlf *
In the coke regions , tSIr. W. J. Halney o
this city , the largest fcoke operator In the
country , has defeateJ trio efforts of the coke
operators to combine ' { or the purpose of ad
vanclng prices. In au Interview Mr. Ralney
says : _ , u .
"Yes , It Is true I havolrefused to Join th
syndicate whose obJectMs to raise prices. In
the firs' place , I do nof believe In syndicates
I believe In everyonet standing on his own

operators combining tor the purpose of de
feating the men end railing prices. I am
a firm believer In falcrcotnpetltlon "
"Will your decision prevent the other
operators from formlng'such a combination ,
and will your action defeat the objects of
the proposed syndicate ? " ,
"I do not know that It will. They have
gone ) ahead In the pact without me. They
can put the prices up to where they please ,
but It will rot make much difference to inc. '
Cited for Uiiinlnl tcrlnl Conduct.
DENVER , June 16. Rev. E. E. Passmore
has been cited for trial before W. C. Madl
son , presiding elder of the Methodist Eplsco
pal church In the Greely district , on th
charge ot "unmlnlsterlal conduct. " Th
charge against him grows out of the fac
that bo has on several occasions arralgnei
some of the most prominent leaders of th
Methodist church In Colorado , both laymen
and clergy , for complicity with the llquo
trafflo and other public evils.

C30P SITUATION NO LONGER ALARMING

Abroad Silver nn Abiorb-
liiB ' 1 oplc.
NEW YOTIK , Juno 1C. Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews &
Co. , writes thus ot the situation In Wall
street :
During the first hnlf of the pist week the
market fet securities showed the tondcncy
toward rest nnd realizing thut vvus appar
ent the week previous. Oil Wedne'pduy ,
however , the publication of the irov eminent
monthly etop it port showed u bette'r con
dition of the ctreul crops than had been
expected , and cncour.iged n. revival of buyIng -
Ing , with some Improvement In ptlee-s ,
which was helped by a bette'r fueling al
London on the completion of the fortnightly
settlements , nnd this recovery has been
held up to the clo c of theweek. . Ilcyond
these accesslens of confidence Lite In the
week rtpoits were iccelvcd fiom nillioad
ofllcluls In the west Indlc.ttltig materially
better present conditions In the wheat it op
than were hhovvn by the govunmcnt report
for June 1 One telegram Horn the
piosldent of an Important system lepresents
thut , for the gnat wheat hrlt coveting
Montann , the Uakotas and Minnesota , the
wheat prospect has rarely been belter. It
Is piobablc that In other sections there
bus also been nn Improvement In ciop eon-
elltlons generally beyond vvhitt VVHH I ( - presented
sented In the bureau's estimates ot fifteen
days ngo. Thc e are very biilistuntlul con
tributions to the future sticngth of the
market , and arc likely to affect favorably
the London markctR , as well as our ovvn.
The drift of conditions seems to be cortv-
tng the market foiward In s > plti > of the ef-
foits of professional "beats" to break price" ,
und notwithstanding * willingness on the
part of some "bulls to FCC home reaction
in price.s and to permit the mm ket to 10-
pose for a time on Its Intrinsic inpitts
There are , however , no appumtne.es ol
coining check In any direction , and , fiom
the prtbent outlook , It seems by no tnean
Improbiblo that we may hnvo a good , active
market elm Ing the bummer , which may
bring regrets to operators who may ehoei o
to prefer recreation to watching Wall street
opportunities
Any Impiovement In the prospect of n
good purplns of cereals for export will have
un Important bearing upon conlldunce Ow
ing to the glow ing tlemnnd In the merchan
dise markets , there1 Is a probability of the
fall Imports being large , nnd that prolnbll-
Ity Is strengthened by foreign icports of
large purchase's by American Importeis
Wall street , though taking no active p.irt
In the silver qucBtlon , watches closely the
piospscts of Its solution It Knows Just
what estimates to put upon the pipullatlc
nnd otherwise popular clamor of the south
and vvewt In favor of 11 to 1 free colnaw In
the United States nnd has no fe-ai of the
ultimate miccecs of that program , not
withstanding Its noisy agitation The re
has been however , a considerable number
of conservative men who have fnvoied the
unrestricted coinage of silver , piovlded It
oould be done upon a ba ls that would In-
Fure the full co-o | > eratlon of nil the leading
nations. Including especially England and
Germany. The recent titt rnnces nnd ac
tions of those two goveinment' ) on this
proposal , have , however , dealt n serious
blow to the hopes of the class vvhleh 1ms
thus siooel midway between the gold stond-
iirdlhts and the silver slundnrdl-'ts The
Urltlsh chancellor of the exchequer has
emphatically nllirmcd that the present llb-
eial government would , under no circum
stances , malte any departure from Eug-
land'8 established pollcv of the single golel
standard. The lenders of the conservatives ,
who hope to soon get Into power , have been
formally notllled that any countenance to
silver would lo e them the support of their
followers , which puts a quietus on Mr. I3al-
four's silver sympathies
As to Gel many , that government has
promised Its blmetalllst subjects that It
would make proposals to England for nn In
tel nation il conference , provldcel all the >
states of the empire should approve of such
a course. Already the replies from the
t-tntes show a genet al disfavor to bimetal
lism , which pree Hides the Impel Sal govern
ment against taking any btepa toward a
monetary change Thus It would seem
that the prospects favorable to Interna
tional bimetallism have become matcrlallv
diminished. This Important change In the
situation Is directly calculated to secute
the adhesion of our Internationalists to the
gold standard whle'h Is a large gain toward
a afo Pettlement of this troublesome ques
tion.

LONDON , June 1G The rumor that the
Bank of Enila4id contemplates reducing Its
rate to V& per cent , mentioned In the As
sociated press dispatches , probably origi
nated In the decision of the Joint stock
banks to reduce the scale for deposits at
shoit notice fiom 34 to % per cent. With
consols at nearly 107 , unless something hap
pens to relieve the plethora of the money-
market , the Bank of England directors will
eventually be forced to take such ste'ps.
The stock market resumed a fair activity
during the week , speculation In both Eng
lish and eontlne-ntal securities being re
vived. In African mines the movements ol
the week were mostly upwatd Spanish

CHICAGO e. It A IN
\ \ heat Hulls Were Itoutcd on All Sides
Saturday
CHICAGO , Juno 15 The wheat bulls on
the Board of Trade were unhorsed today
and routed , temporarily nt least. Wheat
which sold a few days , ago at S Vic , wenl
down today with a "slekenlng thud" to
74)40. The loss , In price only stopped with
the closing of the session , and was ut the
bottom of a 2)4q decline , compared with yes
terday. Corn and oats were also very
weak. Provisions alone of the speculative
articles made u gain In value.
All the big wneat bulls apparently be
came convinced some days ago that the
advance eotild not bo held , and commencee
to let go their lines. Ihey have been dolnj ,
this ciuletly but effectually , and their un
loading has been large'ly responsible for the
weakness which has lulcd tor Eonm days
Yesterday the fact became known am
started a gelling stampede on the part of
the longs who had been left by their
threwder associates , and today they were
tumbling over each other to get rid of their
long btulf , which showed such a handsome
piofit but u short time ago AH usual , the
country was slow In getting on and found
Itself holding the empty bat ? une of the
most discouraging features which has
brought about the break , which was at one
time almost a panic , was the fact that the
advance appears to have caused a serious
decline In expoitw , as they were 1,200,001 !
bu less from both coasts than the week
before , or 1,782.000 bu only , against 2,991.9
bu before Conservative opeiutora urge tha
there will be some export suiplus , howevei
small , and that prices here cannot be main
talned nt that price which will render ship
ments Impossible , as the recent price seem
to have done. So theio was a general dlspo
Hltlon to get uld of long stuff , and th
liquidation was enormous.
Stop loss orders and exhausted margins
with vicious short selling by the local tul
ent , helped along the downward tendency
and completed the rout of the bulls. Crop
news also seems to be shifting mora favor
ably for the bears , and advices were nu
merous tending to Indicate a fair crop.
The corn market was fairly active and
very weak. It suffered a break of l ? c pe
bu , which would ordlimrlly bo considered
a disastrous lot's to make In corn for one
day. July opened ut from 49'tc to 49 * c , as
aKalnst 60'4c at the close yesterday , and
after recovering to 49s c , slumped to
which was Us value at the close.
For a Saturday , trading In the oats mar
ket was active , and business aggregate !
comparatively heavy. Considerable long
Htufr continued to be offered , mostly In
gmall lots , which were consumed quite
readily by the crowd In general , The de
tllne In wheat and eorn prices was also re
garded as an effect In reducing values
September rarged from IS'nC to IS' c , restlnt ,
at the low price , a decline of He since
yesterday.
The provision market started weak It
sympathy with th grain prices , but closec
strong' on good buying , which , however
was principally due to the covering o
shortu. The weakness In wheat permittee
a good deal of pork , lard and ribs being
bought without sending prices up materf
ally , and the shorts bought upon such an
expectation. After a preliminary decline o
6a In pork and about 2'tc In the other ar
tlclea , pork advanced until , compared with
Its price yesterday , It was 6c higher. Lard

O ATI hi : V total of twenty-six loads ot
rttllu wcie received In the jauls today , a
Ight run. but double the lece-lpts of yes-
teiday. A few loads of pictly fair beef
iteeis wuie among the offering" , while the
jnlane'e of thereeclpta was iiitula up ot a
Ittlo of everything The paekcis ap
peared to want a few cattle and bid fully
steady ptlces on everything. The move-
nent , howevc'r. was druggy , as hap been
the ruleof late1 , bliyris and n-lle-rs being
slow to come toge thei. Seveial loads we'io
not offered on the mnrke-t nt nil , the re-
celvcts shipping them on to ChlcaRU.
Steady prices we-ie paid for butchers' stoclc
and feeders
Theio has bc n n good deal of sameness
in the cattle mm ket elm Ing the past wcclt
01 two. Pi Ices may vary a little from day
lo day and receipts show slight , alns or
losses , but the genc'ial situation leinnlna
unchanged and unsatisfactory. Hccelpta

until twenty-five OP
thirty loads constitute an average run.
If the ncatclty of cattle weio the only
drawback to the making of n market tha
cause for dissatisfaction would not be se >
gu-nt , but unfortunately themm ket linn
fallen completely Into the dumps. With
such Unlit offoilngs It would ho only-
natural to expect an active niaikrt. On
the contrary , the trade has b < i-n extremely
dull Salesmen claim that the buvers do
not want the cattle bud enough to bid up
on them On the other hand the buyers
snv that because * o few cattle arecoming -
se llcis expect a premium on their cattlu
and are unwilling to ae-cept the actual
market value for their holdings. Whatever
may be the1 true explanation the fact re-
nmlns the name the market Is In a bael
