a telegram from Wheeling, w Va. saws:
one of the boldest and most successful
games ever played on an unsuspccting
public was worked in Wheeling this
week. a week ago to-day small
smooth faced, dark skinned man calling
himself Harry Lacy arrived in Wheeling
and proclaimed himself the advane agent
of Adam Foropaugh's circus. He was
genial man, of good address, and pro-
ceeded to make friends with everybody
with whom II circus agent usually comes
in contact. lie made II contract with
the state Fair Association for the use of
their grounds on the island for two DAYS
October and 8. He let the bar privi.

Nobody ever got the concessions |

I'm the Napoleon of contractors"
Toward the end of the week suspicion
was aroused by the peculiar actions of
Lacey. He had received II large amount
of money III the way of small advances
from the men with whom he had made
contracts, the sums ranging from $50 to
500 in each case, and succeeded in lining
MS pockets with u large amount OF
money. The Gct that he was unable to
tell where the forepaugh show has been
exhibiting during the past week looked
peculiar, and u newspaper reporter tele-
sraphed to-day to Fort Dodge, Iowa, to
MIR. Forepaugb, in u short time receiving
the following reply:

which was accomplished this afternoon.

of large amounts of cash were Mayor

this morning with the senate commits.
sion ON irrigation, of which he is chair
man. IL has closed its investigation
and its members have gone to their re-
spectivc homes. In an interview to-day
Senator Stewart stated that the commits
sion had been On the road fifty days
ana had taken testimony from nearly
100 witnesses distributed through
the following states and territories: :
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Oregon Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Colorado and
Nebraska. The principal irrigation sys-
TENS in the United States had been
visited, careful observations made of the
development and the practical results of
their various bitches and irrgating
Cun1ls,and the great artcsian wells of the
Northwest. some of them 2OOO feet deep
have been examined and their workings
notCd. The committee also examined II
number of sites for the storage of water
and the great natural basins which need
but little effort to constitute them
gigantic reservoirs, capable of irrigating
millions of acres of land. A number Of
lakes were also examined.
Altogether the committee has made
II journey of some 1000 miles and has
BHtllcTct " NsNl Uilptllit on uSclul llIoT-
nation upon all phases of the irrigation
problem Upon ono point it has found
entire concurrence among the farmers
and fruitgrowers who have rcsortcd to
irrigation, that Is that crops are rem.
dered not only more certain, but more
abundant by getting water just when
they need 1t rather than when the acci-
dent of ratnialls supplies 1t. Ofmany
estimates adduccd us to the advantage
afforded in this respect, the lowest is that
10y irrigation crops are twice rs abund.
ant as when dependent on the rainfall
alone. Other estimates grade crops pro-
duced by irrigation all the way from
three to iivelold than what is dependent
on rainfall. The results of the invcs,i-
cation will be embodied in report to
be made 10 the senate during the ap-
preaching session of congress. Senator

81 had supposed, - said the icwcler
recently "by this time, with the daily
press to- enlightcn them, that every body
knew which is the proper finger ON
w. ich to wear an engagement ring, or
the finger ON which To place the ring
at the time of the wedding or the fin.
ger on which to wear the ring after
marriage. But we arc asked this
question every day. Sometimes the
query is made in person and sometimes
Il comes by mail There was IA time
when the cngageme ring was worn
on the first finger of the left hand
and on the third finger of the same
hand after marriage by women. But
now one finger Is the custom. 1t is
proper for either the man or the woman
To wear the engagement ring on the
third finger of the left hand. When a
man weds nccoriing to the Episcopal
ceremony, ho places the ring on the
third finger of the left hand of the bride,
and she wears 1t there after her mar
riagc. Iftho groom wears Il ring il is on
the third finger of the lett hand.h.
