The Irrigation Convention.

About one thousand people attend
ed the Irrigation Convention at Ober-
lin Dec. 10th. Among the prominent
men who took part were: Prof. Rob
ert Hay, of the ARTISAN Investiga-
tion," appointed by the q. S. Govern
ment, j, W. Gregory of the o. S.
irrigation department., Martin Mohler
Sec. of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, Col. E. S. Nettleton, chief en-
gineer of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in the artesian
and underfow investigation, Judge
PETER, editor of the Kansas Farmer,
and others. The general sentiment
was that Western Kansas could be
irrigated from the inexhaustable IN
deKfow of water.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
First, Implicitly relying upon the
henefcient wisdom of the Creator, we
have been are now confident that this
climate, rivaling that of Italy, was in
tended for the habitancy of humanity
and that this soil, rich as the delta of
the Nile, was purpOsed for fruitful
returns for the labor of the husband
man.
Second, Induced by such climate
and soil and invited and influenced
by the government In the holding of
these lands subject to private entry
under the agricultural land laws, we
have settled thereon, builded our
houses; opened our farms and invest
ed our all, to the extent that there
are no vacant government lands IN
the State of Kansas.
Third, By years of experience, OF
toll and hardship, and by the expendi-
tuTe of our substance, we have dem
onstrated that agriculture dependent
upon rainfall is unreliable, uncertain
and improbable In the western por-
ton of our state, and contrary to the
theory of the government and our
selves, these lands have proved to be-
semi. arid rather than reliably agricul
tural
Fourth, Through personal ebseFva
ton and experience had through sci
entifc demonstration we have beer
led to and do believe that the irriga
ton of our lands is practicable ant
| possible, but we are unable to demon

conclusions.

Pull for the Eight.

If third party results from the
Farmers Alliance its main strength
will be in the Southern states, and
this cannot aid the Democratic party.
With third party in the South eth
er it or Democracy, perhaps both,
would strive to carry the negro vote
and that would go long way toward
settling the race question. A third
party, to amount TO anything, must
divide the solid South and this must
be detrimental to Democracy. If it
should fail to divide the Southern
Democrats 1t could not long hope to
divide Northern Republicans. The
Greenback party did not hurt the Re

THE WORLDS FAIR SITE.
Illinois Agriculturists Want It to be
jackson Park.

One OF the surprises of the special session Of
the Illinois Legislature, which is to assemble to-
is day, the aggressive part played by the Illi-
nos state board Of agriculture in the forthcom-
ing worlds fair legislation. The Illinois board
OF agriculture is bitterly opposed to the loca-
ton of the fair on the lake front on account of
the limited room.
Secretary Garrard of the state board Of ag-
rlculture says that under no circumstances
can the lake front site be made adequate TO the
purposes of the exposition. The wealth of our
nation lies chiefly in its agriculture. and the
most attractive part Of the worlds fair
to foreigners will be tho agricultural ex-
hibits. Four hundred acres of land would not
be an excess for these exhibits, and 200 acres
will be the minimum which will accommodate
the states of the Union. We think Jackson
Park il tho only site IN contemplation which
will afford adequate accommo dations, and it is
my opinion that if the lake front il selected
n site the Illinois state board Of agriculture
will drop the subject entirely and not make any
exhibit"

A Believer in Respect for the Executive
Objects to Corn Cure Advertisement.

William Hosea Ballou has sent Anthony Com

President Harrison, which Broadway druggist

Mr.. Ballou wrote that he was of the opinion
that law was passed at the last session of
Congress making the display of pictures of the
President or his family on advertising cards a
mlsdemeanor. AS Comstock is solely interested
in suppressing vice. the natural conclusion to
be drawn from Mr.. Ballou's letter was that the

big toe, which is exposed. The President is
sternly surveying his toe, and is supposed to be
meditating purchase of corn saive.
Ex-President Cleveland is also caricatured in
much the same manner. A call was made At
the United States district attorneys office to
get some trace of the statute on this subject
but nobody there had ever heard of such q

season to play boys part in THE Stowaway"
The young wife's mental trouble had its incep-

and unexpected. She became raving maniac
and two attendants were in charge of her. Her
husband and friends can only account for her
attack on the theory of overwork and mental
worry, and they are buoyed up by the expressed
belief Of physicians that with proper care she
may recover. She was sent to kankakoo
