BERLIN, May 16-The resignation oi
Herr Maybach, Prussian minister OF pub
lie works, removes from the public stage
the last minister of the old emperor, ex
cept DR.. Boetticher, secretary of the inn
perial home Office whose continued pres
ence is due to the resentment which the
emperor has felt in consequence of the
public attacks and private intrigues,
which have been carried on for the pur-
pose of fastening his withdrawal. Prince
Bismarck's enemity has strengthened the
ardor of the emperor's friendship for DIR.
B0etticher.
During the squabble over the latter's
secret drafts from the Guelph fund. the
emperor showed him especial marks of
favor; but DR.. Boetticher is now on the eve
of departing. 1t is reported that he will
become president of the province of
Schleswig- Holstein. Herr Won Benningen
succeeding to the home office, and Herr
Miguel, imperial minister of finance, be-
coming vice president of the Prussian
council. Herr Miguel's hold upon the
emperor's esteem is becoming more firm.
The press is discussing pamphlet, sup
posed to have been inspired by Prince
Bismarck, assailing the emperor's tenden-
cies toward absolutism. The pamphlet
argues that the ministers alone ought 10
be responsible, and that the sovereign
ought especially to avoid rhetorical
declarations, as, in the proportion
that his fallibility becomes obvious,
will respect for him suffer. a chapter on
"The Kaiser and His Own Minister"
blames Chancellor Won Caprivi for not
using his influence to prevent the en-
peror's injudicious utterances, compares
Germany to rudderless ship, and accuses
the emperor of consulting private advisers
behind the back of his ministers. IL
urges the latter TO resign rather than TO
carry out measures opposed TO their con-
victions.
The misery of the defeated strikers in
Westphalia is extreme. Over twenty
thousand who have applied for work in
the Bochum district have been refused en-
ployment and threatened with expulsion

IRRIGATION.

ATCHIsoN, Kan, May 16-The settlers
in the western part of the state are very
mnch interested in practical experiment
at irrigation that will be undertaken this
season in Norton, Phillips and other
counties. A company has bought $500
acres of land in the valley of the
north branch of the Solomon river.
A dam will be built across the
stream at the upper end of the
tract, two miles below the town of Dins-
more, in Norton county. From the dam
water will be distributed over the land by
bitches. It is estimated that not to exceed
15 per cent of the rivers supply will be
needed to irrigate the tract, and conse-
quntly the Touring mills below will not
be affected. The company has plowed the
ground, and will plant a carload of Colo
RADIO potatoes, besides sweet potatoes
white beans and other vegetables. A gen
eral assortment will be planted in order
that the experiment may be complete.
The company has the advice of Colorado
engineers experienced in irrigation, and
there is every reason to believe the expert
ment will be a success. The only fear is
that the, project will require more water
than is expected, in which event there
will be protest from mill-owners and
others who have interest lower down the
stream.

territory. has just been Incorporated with

Fine store buildings are now being built
and quite a few dwellings have reached

What has given Edmond its impetus
is the locating of the normal and the city S
proximity to the Indian lands that are
soon to be opened up to settlement.
Edmond needs a clothing store and a
merchant tailor. This is also a good point
for a livery stable, and hack line to run
to the new lands that are soon to be
opened.
