The new watch and diamond club that
g.. w. Brown, the Seventeenth street
ieweler, is now organizing. has a feature
that is far ahead of anything that has
been given. The value of the article is
TO be $3S. 90, which may be a watch, dia-
mond or any other article that a person
may desire in the %jewelry line. Any
member OF the club may have one, two,
three or moro numbers, as they wish, for
which they pay 81 per week for each
number. The club is composed of fifty
members. One number is drawn every
Saturday night. The person holding the
lucky number is entitled to the watch OF
diamond and has no more payments tc
make.
Should a member pay in for thirty
eight weeks, having not been fortunate
enough to draw out before that time, re
ceives the article. so that no member ha.
more than S38 to pay. The club is to be
kept to a membership of fifty as long as
possible. The value of the articles are
guaranteed BY Mr.. Brown to be the best
ever offered in Cheyenne.
Parties wishing to JOIN the club are re.
quested to call at the store of Mr.. Brown
who will be pleased to explain to them
more fully if necessary the plan on which
the club is conducted and show you the
various articles that can be purchased for
$3S. Parties in any part of the state may
join the club and are requested to do so,
satisfaction being guaranteed in every
particular. Ladies can join this club as
well as gentlemen. Correspondence soil

WAS IN THE WRECK.
An Omaha Mans Experience in the
Smashup at Seward.
.[Omaha Bee

N-Nh SO
Maj. ComegYs, assistant paymastcr of
the Department of the Platte. was a pas
senger on one of the trains that collided
yesterday near Seward.
II had been told by the train boy" said
Maj. Comegys to a Bee reporter today,
that the Dewsboy on the train which was
to meet ours would have the daily papers
and that if | watched my chance | could
buy one of him while the two trains stopped
for a minute side by side. l was Just fishing
a nickel out of my pocket intending to go
out on the platform to get a paper when
the approaching train pulled up alongside
ofours. Just then the trsins met and I took
a header over the seat in front of me and
butted my head through my hat against the
back of the second seat.
There was a scene of wild confusion
in that vicinity lust about hat time. One
of the mail clerks was caught between the
floor OF the mail car and the floor of the
next car behind, which pushed right
through the mail car. He was not hurt
much as there was just space enough be-
tween the two floors to permit him to lie
in comparative safety until the cars came
to a dead standstill. He crept out un.
hurt.
"One of the engineers seemed to be
half crazed bv the accident. 1t seemed
almost miraculous hat no one was killed
in the collision.

Mr.. and Mrs. winters at Home.

W. It. Winters and bride arrived in the
city last evening on No. 7 and were met
at the train by a number offriends. Their
marriage occurred in Chicago last Monday
morning. They received a number Of
calls last evening at their home at the
corner of Custer and Sixth streets, while
many others intend to avail themselves of
the first opportunity to paw them their
respects. Mr., Winters friends have been
calling at the Eagle pharmacy today to ex
tend their congratulations and Billy" has
met them all with a strong handshake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Winters have been the
recipients of an elegant collection of pres
ents, some from Chicago friends but many
from Laramie admirers. Mrs. Winters,
although a Chicago lady, is not an entire
stranger to Wyoming.

IRRIAATION.

10 tho Editor OF THE ADVOCATES
read with interest the communlca-
tlons Of your correspondents, W. Twed-
dale and L. in THE ADVOCATE Of March
on the subject Of irrigation for Kansas,
and particularly for western Kansas. 1
beg room In THE ADVOCATE for further
discussion Of the question.
II should be borne in mind that the
conditions in western Kansas are not the
same that obtain In countries entirely de-
pendent on irrigation for agriculture. In
western Kansas the rainfall 10 often suf-
dclent for full general crop. The total
failure 10 the exception. To make agrl-
culture successful we have simply then
70 obtain the meteorological conditions
every year that prevail on an average
every flth year; say, when full crop Is
raised. How can this be doneH There
IL good reason TO believe that moisture
enough passes over western Kansas every
summer to answer the purpose OF agFl-
culture. tits a common experience to
see very promising clouds appear above
Che horizon In the south on q summers
day, only TO be dlssipated as they ap-
proach the zenith II condemnation and
precipitation could be effected there
would be no lack Of rain, Irrigation is
looked upon 40 an important factor In
reaching this result.
The problem OF irrlgatlng the high
lands lying between the water courses OF
q country is one seldom considered and
never solved. All the water that can be
obtained from natural flow by impOund-
Ing water or from ground water would
be needed 10 successfully irEigate the
bottom lands and the slopes lying ada
cent thereto. Such then would be the
iPrigable lands. In northwestern Kansas
they would not exceed 10 per cent. Of the
entire area. Should the lTrlgable lands
be placed under cultivation by using upon
them all the water that can be obtained
The advocate., 1891-04-01

from the sources mentioned, a consid-
erAblo surface would be furnished for
constant evaporation throughout the
summer months Orchards and groves
could be successfully grown. The pro-
duct Of this limited area would exceed
the beat crop now raised over the entire
section.
Then make use Of the suggestion Of
L. Construct one or more ponds on each
farm. Such ponds would add q fraction
Of per cent. 70 the wet surface for
evaporation. They would also be ben.
eft in many other ways, such aB furnish
Ing stock water, moisture orsmall groves
and satuNting the ground with moisture
In a small way.
With 10 per cent. approximately Of
the surface Of the ground constantly wet
or moist throughout the summer months,
with many thrifty orchards and groves
which would be produced and large areas
Of rank vegetation, il 10 not improbable
that the meteorological conditions Of our
most uniavorable seasons would be 80
modified as TO permit the growth OF fair
crops every year.
The hot, dry winds Of July and August,
which are death 10 growing vegetation,
would be moistened and cooled. The
moisture which now passes over the
country, invisible, would remain and be-
come condensed, and rainfall would be-
come more frequent and CopIous.
The work which Mr.. Tweddale sug-
gests the state should do would be Of
great benefit. We do not, however, need
70 wait. The quality Of the soil is known.
The results of irrigation are known.
Much Of the country can be- irrigated.
The hnancier and engineer can go TO
work at once; sites for impOunding reser-
voirs can be determined and plans pre-
pared for applying the water to the soil.
II at any point II can be shown that lrrl-
CATION ls practicable the means for get
ting II will not long be wanting.

The United States EncrOaching Ex-

A Big Worlds Fair to BE Held in Berlin
in '96-No Need of a German
Exhibit at Chicago.
Associated Press Dispatches.

BERLIN, June 16.-With reference to
the proposed German worlds fair to be
held in '96, Mr.. Won Siemans, thegreat
electrician, who is the leading member
of the committee of projectors, talking
with an Associated Press representative
today, said they will make solid show
ing of what they can do in the way OF
manufacturing, without any Eiffel tower
or similar attraction. In addition, he
said the European nations are becoming
aware that they must consolidate COM
mercially against American aggression.
America said he, ''is not only shut
ting out many of our products by pro-
hibitive tariffs, but she also threatens
our trade with the South American re-
publics, and even with Africa and Asia.
Power naturally makes America agrees
sive, and Europe must take care of her
interests or she will be pushed to the wall.
Ii America keeps on as now, we will
have to go to commercial war. We will
retaliate."
"But," said the correspondent, "do
you think Europe, and Germany es-
pecially, will be the gamer by such a
policy? Do you know that millions of
dollars worth of your manufactures are
exported to America every year; that
we could strike serious blow by simply
prohibiting your sugar?"
EYES," said Herr Siemans, "but we
shall find other channels of trade. Be-
sides, as America advances she will
need less and less of our manufactures. +"
When asked if Germany would ex-
hibit at the worlds fair, Herr Siemans
said he did not know yet. At present it
seemed folly to exhibit in a country
where the people do not. buy from the
exhibitors.
