Irrigation In South Dakota.

A special telegram from Pierre says
arrangements have about been per-
fectcd by John II. Baldwin, state en-
gineer of irrigation, to give irrigation
by the use OF artesian wells q practi-
cal test this season. The Hunter
farm at Mellette, will be turned over
to the government experiment station,
of Brookings college, for that purpose.
and an experienced California irriga-
tor has been employed to see that
the water is put upon the ground in q
practical manner.
The Snlzer Seed Company, OF La
Crosse, Wis, and Harry Hunter, OF
the Milwaukee road. are furnishing the
greater portion of the capital. In all
about 800 acres OF corn. wheat, oats
and potat oes will be irrigated.
The irrigatos, six days in each
month, will be at liberty to go to any
point in the state. under the direction
of the engineer OF irrigation, and give
instructions in irrigation. 1t is the
intention OF these gentlemen to settle
this question once for all, whether
irrigation with artesian wellsis practi-
cal or not.
MIR. Baldwin talks very encourage
ingly OF artesian work in South Da-
kota. He reports applications for
wells in several counties OF the James
river valley ana work in progress,
both toward location and sinking Of
wells in different portions OF the state.
Brule county has gone to work more
systematically in this line than any
other county of thestat Wells have
been sunk in nearly every township,
and where none have yet been sunk
the residents are moving to secure
such water supply. Commissioner
Baldwin is devoting the greater part
OF his attention this spring toward
practically using the water from wells
already made, and to retain surface
water by means OF dams and reser-
voirs.

FOR WOMEN.
MRS. L. B. CLEVELAND, THE
NOTED LECTURER TO WOMEN
Will Speak at Odd Fellows Hall
Thursday at 3 O'Clock P. M.
March q.

Mrs. L. B. Cleveland, the famous
lecturer to women, will speak in Odd
Fellows Hall Thursday afternoon, on
the subject, Health and Beauty of
Women. " From the press notices
which Mrs Cleveland has everywhere
received, it is evident that her lectures
are intensely interesting and instruc-
tive. The Nashville American, speak
ing of her lecture in that city, says:
Fully three thousand ladies gath
cred at the Sam Jones Tabernacle yes
terday afternoon to hear eloquent and
talented Mrs. l.. B. Cleveland and
from the moment she stepped on the
stage until the last golden words fell
from her lips, she held the rapt atten-
ton of every lady present, and at the
close of the lecture fully two-thirds OF
the audience pressed forward to shake
her hand and thank her for the valu-
able advice given"
The Cleveland leader says: Mrs.
Cleveland is a lady of culture and re-
finement, and what she says, and says
so well on matters of such vital i'm
pOrtance to Womankind, makes her
mission both a pleasure to herself and
blessing to others. That she prac-
tees what she teaches is clearly shown
in her own life-a mother Of grown up
children, a grandmother, in fact, and
yet with the appearance of being no
more than thirty-five years of age,
speaks volumes in ITSELF

Meeting OF Ynrdmasters.

The fourth of a big series of meet
ings arranged by the yardmasters OF
the Panhandle was held at Golfers
on Monday, and representatives from
Pittsburg, Wheeling, Carnegie, Denni-
son, and Columbus were present, and
discussed matters pertaining to the
movement of Panhandle freight The
object of these meetings is the mutual
exchange of ideas intended to facili-
tate the handling of loaded cars at the
different yards, and as far as possible
the movement of through freight. In
the making up of trains at the diff
ferent yards a great amount of unnec-
essary work at other points can be
avoided by the use of good Judgment
in the classification of cars, and the
position in which they are placed in
the trains. By the knowledge per-
tanning to the handling of cars at the
different yards developed at these
meetings some excellent results have
been obtained on the Panhandle.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE TO
LOCAL TICKET AGENTS.
Also a Decision in Regard to Passes.
Theatricals on Through
Trains-Presented With
a Gold Watch.
Notes.

The recent Supreme Court decision
III the case of Mrs. Powell y. the South
ern Pacific railroad is of interest to
local ticket agents. Mrs. Powell pur-
chased ticket from Houston TO New
Orleans, for which she paid the full
tariff rates. She did not have occa-
sion 10 use the ticket Immediately,
but one month after the date of pur-
chase she boarded train and present
ed it for transportation, bit the con-
ductOr pronounced it void calling the
attention of the holder to the fact that
the contract printed on the face Of the
first coupon explicitly stated that the
ticket could be used only on the date
of sale or the day preceding that date.
She was refused transportation on the
ticket, and brought suit TO recover
damages. The Court decided that
when the full tariff rate of cents per
mile was paid for ticket it was good
until used, no matter when presented
and awarded the plaintiff damages in
the sum OF $2,700.
Another important decision render
ed recently by the courts was that in
which damages were awarded TO the
holder OF an annual pass who had been
injured in a collision. The Company
lawyer advanced the argument that
inasmuch as the pass was in the ma
ture of d gratuity there could be no
claim for damages legally made, and
he called the attention of the Court to
the agreement on the back of the pass,
signed by the holder, which read as
follows:
The person accepting this ticket
assumes all risk of accidents, and eX-
pressly agrees that the Company shall
not be liable under any circumstances,
whether of negligence by their agents
or otherwise, for any injury to the per-
son, or any loss or damage TO the prop
erty of the passenger using this
ticket"
The Court ruled, however. in this
case that it was against the law to is
sue any pass unless for value re-
Ceived. that accordingly the pass was
issued for a consideration of some
kind, and the plaintiff was awarded
damages. These cases are of interest
to the passenger departments of all
roads, inasmuch as they indicate the
necessity of some better method of
protecting themselves from the liabil-
ity to be assessed for damages arising
from cases of accidental injury to per-
sons whose transportation is not of a
remunerative Misunderstanding Post.

Coke for Fuel.

For several days past the Baltimore
and Ohio has been making a fuel eX-
pertinent which is attracting good
deal of attention. For some months
the company has been using. with good
results, coke for its locomotives il the
tunnels and their vicinity. and it was
so much of a success the company de-
cided to try coke for fuel on fast pas
senger trains. The locomotives which
haul the Chicago and New York eX-
press on the trans-Ohio division, have
been especially equipped TO burn coke,
and the experiment has proven, says
one of the officials, highly satisfactory.

transmission of power, each apparatus
being complete in itself. The current
obtained from the revolution of the
axle is used to charge a storage bat
terry, so that the light is obtained with
out difficulty before the train starts or
when it stops, as it is intended to
have at least eight hours of lightning
in reserve.
