MIR. sAWYER,s a1EErING.

An Interesting Service Held in EvangelIs-
tic Hall Last Night.
Last nights meeting at Evangelistic
Hall was one of the best ever held in
that popular resort which MIR. G. W.
Sawyer, through his indomitable en-
ergy and perseverance has made one of
the features Of the city. The audiences
are continually improving both in quail
ity and numbers, and the changing OF
the personel Of the audience three and
four times during single meeting is
still one OF the characteristics. Prof.
W. W. McClelland led the music last

Kasley, Wagner and Sharpe, all play:
ing brass instruments. Mrs. Gertrude
McClelland presided ut the organ.
Mr.. j. Smith MARBLE delivered an

taking vein, and the audience would
have listened much longer than MIR.
Sawyer could talk.
Miss May McKim, a very bright and
highly cultured and educated young
woman Of Martins Ferry, who recently
entered the evangelistic field, spoke a
few minutes most entertainingly. She
stuck to her text we'll, and seemed to
have marked effect upon the audience.
Hers was one of the very interesting
features Of the evening.

Business Mems, Literary.

The society met Tuesday evening at the
Office of Pierce Metz with fair attendance,
A. 81. Blair, presiding. The first on the
program was song by Metz, Cosby and
Hoar, in the rendition of which the gen.
tlemen fully sustained their reputation.
Pierce Metz then. delivered an grafton,
taking for his subject kansas" The
Grafton was principally historical and
showed careful preparation. It was well
delivered. Next in order was debate with
the following question: Resolved that
labor organizations are benefit to their
members" Crooks and Hoar maintained
the affirmative and Cosby and Nelson the
negative. They all did well but the judges
Opp, Shuler and Cowick decided in "a
vor OF the affirmative.
a communication was received from the
L.. M. L. c. extending an invitation to the
gentlemen to meet them at the residence
OF Mrs. Diebold next Monday evening.
The invitation was accepted. Also a COM
munication from the same source request
ing the gentlemen to appoint committe
OF three of their members to confer with
committe of the ladies society with the
view OF arranging for a joint meeting at
some future time. Metz, Cowick and
Cosby were appointed.
A motion to meet next at the call of the
chairman was finally carried after mum.
erous dilatory motions and tactics. OBJ
structive and revolutionary in their char
acter, had been employed by the minori-
ty-all in good humor however.
We neglected to mention at the proper
place that John 81. March was critic for
the evening and highly commended the
debaters and the progress "a the society
had attained in parliamentary practice.
Owing to the season of the wear the az
ciety will probably not meet again until
next fall. The meetings we think have
been productive of much good and all
will be anxious to continue them in the
future.

The Wa-Keeney Irrigating Co.

The Wa-Keeney 1rrigating Co.
Those who had subscribed stock for
practical test of the theory of irrigation
in Trego county, met last Saturday even
ing and organized. Capt. Hanna was
chosen chairman and John 81. March
secretary.
A. B. Jones, r. G. Wilson, W. E. Saum,
Geo. 1. Verbeck and G. NJ. Ufford were
elected directors and articles of incorpo-
ration were adopted.
In addition to the directors, the follow
ing are stockholders and members of the
Company: Geo. Baker, F. s. Diebold,
Lee Monroe, Hill P. Wilson. W. 81.
Damn, L. r. Moore, F. r. Jones, John
81. March, w. s. Harrison, 8. d. Thomp-
son, A. 81. Blair, Pierce Metz, Henry
Schultz, G. E. Cosby, Chas. N. Benedict,
B. J. F. Hanna, D. n. Henkel, NJ. W
Cliff. G. A. Hoar, G. W. F. Street, and
s. r. Cowick.
On Monday the directors organized by
electing the following officers: A. B.
Jones, president; Geo. /. Verbeck, vice.
president; W. E. Saum, secretary; G. NJ.
Uford, treasurer. After which they pro-
ceeded to Big Creek and selected the
spot upon which to commence operations.
1t is estimated that there are about 80
acres that can be easily irrigated. The
directors also ordered pump and made
arrangements for the digging ola well.
The pump which was ordered has ca
pacity of 300 gallons per minute and will
cover eight acres with water to the depth
Of one inch every twelve hours. 1t is
called the "Huffer'' pump and is used ex-
tensively in the irrigating districts of
Colorado. They are operated by steam
boilers. Steam is let into one cylinder,
and is instantly condensed by an auto
matte spray Of water, creating a vacuum
or suction power equal to atmospheric
pressure, and the cylinder instantly fills
with water; while one cylinder is filling
the other is emptying, and at the same
time receiving steam for a similar con-
densation and vacuum. No skilled labor
is required to operate them.
This is matter in which every citizen
of Trego county is interested and the
farmers, particularly, will watch the
progress of events with more or less anx-
iety. We will endeavor to keep our
country readers fully posted. This is an
experiment and if successful will be ex-
tended on much larger scale. II sue
cessful it will inaugurate a new era in
the progress of agriculture in Trego
county. The theory is that the supply
of water is practically inexhaustible. IF
this can be demonstrated irrigation will
no longer be an experiment. Those
having the matter in immediate charge
are practical men and the experiment will
be thorough. Next week we hope to be
able to give some facts. although we
might add in this connection that A. B.
Jones and A. 81. Blair have seen the
pump work and say it will do what is
claimed for it aud we have no donbt
whatever on that score.
