The Kentucky Outrage"

CINCINNATI, o., December 4
The Enquirer's Richmond, Ky,
special says: "The students
Of the Berea University are
to have a mock trial on Dec.
IA, and last night engaged in
taking one OF the students and
rObbing him OF valuables that they
had loaned for the occasion. Then,
putting him on a woodpile, they
put a supposed dynamite cartridge
and fuse near him. The cartri dge
was a piec OF rubber hose and the
fuse a shoestring. The supposed
robbers then ran and the man on
the woodpile got of and threw
the rubber hose in a rain barrel
near by, and it all winds up by the
supposed robbers being arrested by
two students who acted as mar
shals, and their mock trial comes
off Dec. IA. This was done for
the benefit Of the students who are
studying law, and to show their
ability. Some people have dis
tOrted the circumstances into a
true story, and spread it broadcast
to the newspapers Of the country
as an attempt to blow up the col
lege b ilding."

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The Irrigation convention, now In SEES.
sion in our city, is a most important
movement for the development OF those
regions OF our state which are considered
arid because of uncertain or deficient
rainfall.
San Antonio aud vicinity cannot be
claSSed as in the arid or sub. humid re-
giOn our rainfall is sufficient To produce
staple crOpS-cOrn and cotton, but with
IRRIGATION thousands of acres could be
turned into fruit and truck gardens.
Our city furnishes one OF the best mar
kPtS for all kinds of produce in the south
west. Our immediate neighbOrhOOd is
short in producing even the commoneSt
produces. such as hay and grain. We
consume aud sell in this city over one
mi lion dollars worth of grain and hay.
A few Thousand acres Of our sandy loan
soils adjacent. would supply this demand
while now we purchase IL all from
abroad.
We are raising the table vegetables
sold Ia our open markets and by truck
peddiers upon irrigated lands worth 81 600
per acre; while within ten miles are thou
sands of acres Of better land that, accord
ing to the illustration Of Prof. Dumble,
can be irrigated by artesian wells.
Prot. Dumt lie does not place as high an
estimate upon the arteSian water supply
as his observation warrants. In his
splendid paper before the irrigation con-
ventiOn he unveils the fact hat we have
one OF he greatest water bearing basins
In the world, and there Is every reason to
assert that IL is as i~DeXhauStable as the
rivers that spring from it.
Those regions described by Professor
Dumole, which are outside the artesian
water bearing belts, must be redeemed by
artificial means, such as reservoirs, TO
catch the rainfall, are evidently the first
care Of the state. but in this splendid
strPtcH OF country adjacent to San An
tonic, we can make the garden spot of the
United States.
The artesian supply is certainly the
most important to d large section east
aud south OF u city. Some crude ideas
prevail AZ Iut the arteSian supply Of wa
ter. Many people think that artesian
wells are struck by tapping underground
streams; others that the supply can be
exhausted by numerous wells, just as gas
and oil wells are exhausted. ArteSian
wafer m from the same source of
supply that keeps up our rivers; only we
can expect the supply to be greater and
more certain.
Our arteSian water telts are grand and
it only requires capital to develop our wa
ter resources. Prof. DumbIe has con
tributed a valuable paper TO the irriga-
ton convention, but it Is only a beginning.
Practical tests will be needed to fully de.
yelop his theories.
According TO census statistics, the num-
Der OF artesian wells used in irrigation In
the arid and sub humid regions in June,
1890, was $3.50, constructed at an average
cost per well Of S245.5S. and giving an
average discharge of SAB gallons per
minute. The area ofl4nd tn rs irrigated,
averaging l3.21 acres per well, amounting
to 81 500 acres. or 1.43 per cent. of the to-
tai area of irrigated land in the arid and
sub-humld regions.
