AN EXPERIMENT IN IRRIGATION.

The News man had The pleasure
Tuesday of ride with Col. AleXan-
der Warner out to his farm aud what
will soon be his home just northwest
of our city. The main object of our
visit was TO see the Colonel's water
works plant, operated by wind mill
power, with which he purposes irri-
eating a small and beautiful tract OF
land lying north OF Willow creek
near his residence. This diminitive
farm slopes gently southwark toward
the creek and at q point abont mid.
way on the north line is built "a
large tank holding 125 barrels of
water, which is to be supplied from
Willow creek and water forced into the
tank by a pump operated by a wind
engine located about midway between
the tank and the creek TO the west.
Along the north line OF this land has
been laid a main pipe supplied with
II hydrants placed about 30 or 60 feet
apart each having two-inch open
ing and to any OF which q hose can
be attached and the water thus car
ried 10 almost any portion of the tract.
The Colonel says he believes he could,
with this irrigating attachment, plant
this small tract of land in rare vegeta-
bles and derive greater income from
II than any three or four farmers in the
county. However this may be he has
certainly put himself in a position TO
be practically fearless of dry weather
In summer, at least so far as this tract
of land is concerned, for the creek is
a never failing stream.
The Colonel's residence with its
natural and cultivated surroundings
comprise one of the handsomest SUBJ
urban residence places TO be found
in the west. The building,
to which the Colonel ia now placing
an addition of considerable size, is
a large frame of modern design built
by G. w. Daniels about seven years
ago. II stands on picturesque knoll
near the south bank of Willow creek,
aud the natural advantages and pos
sibilities for artistic ornamentaIion
about the place are fully appreciated
by Col. Warner, who will soon make II
The most inviting property in south
srn Kansas. Among Its many, other
advantages Il possesses one of the
prettiest little natural parks in the
west in which stands a magnificent
lin tree of enormous size. Col. War
ler is spending considerable amount
IF money in improving this place
his spring aud we shall probably
have more to say Of it again.

Jack McAuiiffe Finds Two Unexpected Visit
ors In His Bed Room.

When Jack McAuiiffe, the lightweight
Champion, who is staying at a hotel i'll Boston.
awOke yesterday morning, he was confronted
by two enormous black bears. He did not
take time to consider how the bears got into
his room. or whether they were tame or wild,
neither did he take time to dress with his usual
care. but made wild dash for the door.
The door gave way with a crash and the
pugiiist rolled over several times before he re-
gained his feet.
He was so anxious to increase the distance
between himself and the intruding animals
that he. came near breaking his neck down
stairs He managed to reach the bar and gasp
for a small bottle.
When he had sufficiently recovered he told
the bartender the story. That worthy shook
his bead and advised Jack to live quietly for
awhile and he would soon get over seeing wild
animals and reptiles
Jack was unable to convince him or any of
the several other sporting men who were loung-
ing around that a managerie had broken loose in
his room. lie finally induced the proprietor
clerk and several others to accompany him up
stairs and see for themselves.
I hey formed IL hollow square. and, with Jack
in the ceIter. proceeded to the ROOM The
proprietor was the first to enter. He gave one
whoop and tried to force his way through the
crowd. The pair of bears were calmly looking
at the crowd in the doorway One OF the sports
had pistol. and before the animals could
spring upon them he began fusilade.
1t was a six-chambered weapon and he took
three shots at each bear. The bears received
the bullets with stolid indifference. They
neither moved nor blinked- The proprietor
yelled: We've all got en- l begin to see snakes

Then one man. holder than the others through
previous knowledge. walked up to the bears,
pulled their ears and kicked them, but they
did not move, because they were stuffed and
belonged to . neighboring museum The
brave man has since been missing. McAulitfe
says ne will kill him The proprietor of the
hotel said: They are on me, gentlemen" and
solsmnly ploted the entire gang back again to
IL bar.

The Present System Ia Considered Cumber-
some and Costly.
Canadian newspapers are agitating for the
establishment Of federal divorce court
throughout the dominion. Although divorce
courts actually exist in several of The provinces.
the granting OF divorces, properly speaking,

house. devote their spare time to investigating
cases of matrimonial unhsppiness.
The late Sir John Macdonald, at various
periods in his political career insisted that the
creation of divorce courts and the abolition of
the divorce functions enjoyed by the senate
would be destructive Of public morality The
premier always insisted that the securing of
divorce should be made IA difficult as possible

Oliver S. Campbell Of Brooklyn. the cham

several weeks ago on pleasure trip. to be

players go annually, and practice at tennis all
through the winter Campbell Will undoubt-
eddy meet them there. and at least watch them

the game is not so superior to that OF Amer
leans as is popularity supposed his friends be-
lieve that he will measure racqucts with some
Of them while there, and II he has any success
against these English experts ia France, many
believe he will enter aud play for the English
championship
II Campbell should play in England it would

ence Hobart is also considering going abroad
