The national irrigation congress,
recently held in Denver, Col., was
thrown ’ into hysterics by the fol-
lowing witty speech of Mr. Robert
Weens Tansel in behalf of Eddy,
N. M , as the place for holding the
next session of the national irriga-
tion convention^
“Before selecting a place for the

Washington, Sept. 2U—Instead

Cervera, less than $15Q,000 fully
cov.ers the cost of the ammunition
which they expended. ..
The Bureau of Ordnance has re-
ceived from Rear Admiral Dewey
a full statement of the amount of
ammunition fired by the vessels
unditr his command in the battle of
Manila Bay. The Bureau has also
received the reports of all the ves-

Richmond, Fort Bend county,
Kept. 20.—Emanuel Morris, color-
ed, convicted at the spring term
»*f the district court for the outrage
nnd murder of a 5-year-old blind
negro girl and given the death
penalty, and Pete Autry, also
colored, convicted at the same
term of murdering a Woman of his
race, have been sentenced to be
wceyuted on Friday, Oct. 28.
Autry took his rentence very eooly
and denied his guilt. He said he
hated to be sent coital for some-
thing he did not do. Morris, how-
sver, was very nerveous and gave
evidence of terrible mental suff-
ering. He denied, his guilt and
made a loug rambling talk.

While there is considerable indig-

a most brutal one, the victim,
Annie Montgomery, being badly

asv-nalt. Jones was a large man

Portsmouth, Ohio, Sept. 20.—
Mr. Vandivort, a prominent mer-
chant of McCullough, is here re-

ner. Recently he attended the'ftn-
campmeiit in Cincinnati, and got
mixed np in the crush at Fountain
square. In trying to extricate
himself he was crowded up against
a woman standing behind him.
The crash became intense, and the
woman cried with pain and begged
to be released. Vandivort was
powerless to get away, and the wo-
man, who was unable to use her
hands, deliberately leaned forward
and. catching his left arm in her
teeth, bit him severely. Ilia pow-
er asserted itself , and he immedi-
ately struck out in front and suc-
ceeded in escaping another bite.

perfection, without going into a
convenient bar-room. They
should be permitted to feast their
eyes upon a vast desert reclaimed,
u once treeless prairie now arched
with gcoves and carpeteiT" with the
richest grass and the most nutri-
tious cereals; the transformation
having takon place iu less than
seven years through the magic
touch of irrigation. I invite y
to come to the Pecos valley, New
Mexico, erstwhile the home of the
festive coyote and the empire of'
BrttjA the Kul. There we wTll
show you ^KegrenjL Rio Pecos,
whose bottom is nofoii top, and iu
whose body the fructifVing waters
never slumber. There we will
show you tho largest and most
magnificent artificial body of water
on the continent—eight miles long
and four miles wide, covering
nearly 11,000 acres, and capable
of irrigating laud enough to feed
the whole population.of Wyoming,
including Finns and Indians not
taxed. We will show you a dis-
tributing dam ten miles below this
reservoir, which feeds au irriga-
tion canal forty miles in length,
not including laterals, and which
is capable of floating the Spanish
navy. A Ye will show yoit vine-
yards which produce grapes, the
nectar of which was never sipped
by fabled god or modern goldbug, |
and orchards which yield peaches,
apples and pluins in quantity un-
equaled and in quality unexcelled.
We will take you through the
pioneer sugar factory of
America, the site of which a few
years ago was the home of the
frolicsome prairie dog and the
trystiug place of Broncho Bill.
“ We will show you die finest
valley in the west, the most com-
plete irrigation system iu the
world, and at the same time exhib-
it to yoli one of the finest and
largest orchards in the land,
blooming and flourishing upon
ground which scarce a decade ago
was a broad and arid waste. We
can take you to two springs whose
joint flow is over 400 -cubic
feet of water per second—water
sufficient to irrigate over 20,000
acres of land and which does now
irrigate over 10,000 acres of the
richest soil between the dean.
We can take you to another spring
the waters of which are more
beneficial than those of Carlsbad,

doses will restore youth to old age
and health to the invalid, and
which if taken in large doses will
quicken yotfr movements while in-
creasing your appetite. T£pu will

hilerating ut mysphere and enjoy

most perfect climate on earth.

A Big Cattle Deal.
Louis Hertwig of Midland was

one of the largest cattle deals made
in Texas for some time recently
ooaurred in his section. E. O.
Lochsnsen, who lias extensive
ranches in Reeves and Pocos coun-
ties, sailing his entire stock of cat-
tle, numbering 10,000 head, to a
Kanx&s City buyer by the name of

Rear Admiral Drwey’s victory
was loss costly. Only $45,000
of powder and shell were
'during the battle of Manila
distributed in this way:
One hundred and fifty-seven fl-
inch projectiles, G35 (j-ineh, 022 5-
iucli, 1,987 (5-pounders, 048 3-
pounders and 47 MM and 1,532 1-
pounders and 37 MM ; total, 5,681.
So far as the reports-received by
the bureau show the ships which
participated iu the battle with
Cervera’s fleet fired these number
of rounds from the guns„ named:
Brooklyn— 100 8-iiieh, 473 5-
eh, 1,200 6-pounders and 200 1-
oupders.
Oregon—30 13-inch, 145 8-iuch,
41 6-inch, 1,5G4 6-pounders and
141 X-poilnders.
Iowa—31 12-ineh. 35 8-inch, 251
4-inch, 1,056 6-pounders and 100
1-pounders.
Texas—8 12-ineh, 97 6-inch, 400 6-
pounders and 381 t-pounders.
Gloucester—589 6-pounders and
783 3-pounders.
New York—2 4-iuch.
Tho reports show that most of
the shells fired were common shell,
the Brooklyn using the largest
number of arinor-piercing shells.
It was due to this fact that the cost
of the ammunition was so com-
paratively small.
Texas Mill Industries-
The September number of the
Dixie Miller, under the head of “A
month’s Record of the Milling In-
dustry,” gives the following Texas
Milling news
A new roller flour mill will
probably bo erected at Fjredericks-
arid j burg in the near future.
Burnett and Bates of Grice con-
template adding some new machin-
ery to their new plant in the near

The B. & K. mill of Warren has

pairs.
The extensive wheat growers of
Tarrant county, are organizing to
build a grain elevator, with a ca-
pacity sf 1,000,000 bushels at Fort

«T. L. Plaff has started up ^tisl
flouring mill at Kaufman, and Tafcif
raers arc bringing in their wheat
from a distance of thirty miles to
have it ground into flour.
Judge L. W. Goodrich has taken
tTie initiative toward getting a flour-
ing mill at Marlin, and he reports
much encouragement from the citi-
zens of the county who are inter-
ested.
The Alliance Milling company of
Denton is building a new elavator,
there being so much wheat to han-
dle that their two present elevators
are not enough. The new one is
west of elavator B, and has a ca-
pacity 27,000 bnshels.
The first heavy shipment of flour
from Fort Worth for export to
Cnba was made August 16, by the
Cameron Mill and Elavator com-
pany. It consisted of 1000 barrels.
This firm was a successful bidder
over a number of others who tried
to secure the contract.
Ground has been broken for the I
new flouring mill at Demson, which
is expected to be equipped and ready I
for operation inside of ninety dayai
The mill will have a capacity

$32,000.
Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 18.—
Advices received here by the steam-
ship Miowera from Sidney; Aus-
tralia, say a great sensation has
been created throughout the An-
tipodes by the discovery near Lake
Wynn of a gold nugget weighing , - ’ 1
HI5 pounds and valued at $32,000.
The nugget was found by Father
Long, a Catholic missionary.
News of the discovery spread and
6,000 people assemdled outside
Donnellan’s tavern, at Manowana,
West Australia, August 16, to lis-
ten to the priest’s story.
Father Long said that he had
beyff placed in an enviable position
regarding the nugget. He termed
u a “ sacred’ ’ and a ‘ ‘ golden sickle, ’ ’
iWcklled because it had been found
by him as the agent of a poor, bed-
riddeu, birt faithful parishoner,
who had been visited by a spirit,,
which told him where the gold
could be found. The “sickle of
gold,” it was added, had once be-
fore been possessed by men. Fol-
lowing the directions of the parish-
oner, Father Long found the sickle-
shaped nugget. It was lying un-
sullied and untouched, six feet un-
der ground, a quarter of a mile,
from the nearest lake on the Kar-
nalpi road, leading out of Muno-
wana.
There was a wild stampede of
prospectors to tho scene. Every
vehicle went tearing at breakneck
speed.along the road, and .before
the day was out thousands of men,
women aud children were digging
for precious metal. Up to the
time the steamer sailed, however,
there had been no fresh discover-
ies reported.
Father Long’s nugget is shaped
like a sickle and looks as if it had
been polished by a goldsmith.
The gold ill of the finest quality.
Some believe that the cave of
pirates has been unearthed, and
the bed-ridden man, who claimed
to have been visited by a spirit,
possessed the secret of the hidden
wealth.
Solution of a Mystery.
A New York special to the Hous-
ton Post says:
There has been mystery in the
Brqpklyn navy yard. Mechanics
in the yard have told strange
stories of a craft that has been tied
to the cob deck since war got under
way. On her stern is the name
“Sciopio,” but under this name
there is plainly to be seen through
a thin coat of paint the word
“Ravena.”
When war was declared the New
Orleans, purchased in England
from Brazil, had to leave her En-
glisl port Without all her ammuni-
tion aud guns and tho duchess of'
Marlborough (who was Consuelo
Vanderbilt) planned to remedy
this, Mrs. Joseph Chumberlaiu
and Mrs. Cuzzon, wife of the new
viceroy of India, joined the move-
ment. They bought the Raveua
oughtright and loaded her down
.with projectiles, ammunition and
guns.
One morning the cruiser Colnra.
bia picked up the Ra vena off Cape
Henry and Charles. It was singu-
lar that the cruiser should have
been there Snd it is more so that
the Ravena hod not a single man
aboard. Comment is unnecessary,
but the life-boats were missing
and the crew has never been heard
of and probably never will be.
“In other words,” said the .offi-
cer, “the Columbia found it co»-
venient to board the Ravena and
find what she could find.”
j “And she found—”
But 1 was interrupted by the
officer, who said: ‘ ‘ She found just
the sort of ammunition that the
New Orleans really needed.”
