CHICAGO-The wheat market to-
day gained nothing for the price by It's
two days rest. At the close May was
ZINC. compared with bSd5sMc ut the
end OF Mondays session. There was
nothing outside OF local benrlah Acntl-
ment TO satisfactorily account for the
brenk, Corn and oats could not easily
have been dullcr than they were to-
day until In the last fifteen minutes OF
the aession, the heavlness OF wheat ar.
feuted them lnjurlougly as TO price and
fAvornbly IN the way OF putting little
more life IN the Trading. They eacli
lost about &c In the value Of the active
futures. Provisions acted strong but
closed with the principal part OF their
early glin lost.

of Kansas would have been behind
the single individual in whose favor
the commissioners ruling should be
made.
Mr.. Rohrbaugh said that he opposed
the Marshall bill which was house bill
No. S91 because it did not repeal any
of the laws now on the statute books,
and for the further reason that it pro-
vided that three commissioners should
In thirty days put in a rate that would
be practically maximum freight bill
He then showed from decisions of the
United States courts that any rate
put in which was not just to the rail-
roads could net stand and who in
that house believed that three COM
u1iSsioners appointed by the governor
could devise an entire rate system for
the state of Kansas that would stand.
What Wichita wanted was law that
would prevent determinations and that
Is just the kind OF a law he had tried
hard to secure but had failed. If his
bill had tecome a law he said rates
could have been put in in ten days
and they would have stood until the
railroads were able to show that they
were unjust. This rate question was
a great problem and he would rather
trust the roads themselves to make
rates than to undertake to enforce
rate made by men who do not know
anything about rates.
1t was talked on the streets that the
meeting gotten up last night was for
the purpose of giving some of the mer-
chants a chance to smash Mr.. Rohr-
baugh but il was remarked after the
meeting that Pats carcas remained
intact He answered numerous queS-
tions satisfactorily and several times
during his speech ne was enthusiastic
cally cheered by the merchants.

was question which a practical farm
er asked of Mr.. Schweiter. and added
that the plant must have cost over
$1,000. But Mr.. Schweiter informed
his agricultural friend that he had un-
der guessed the cost about 5000.
Then Mr.. Schweiter explained how
he expected to make it gay. Everybody
surmised that Mr.. Schweiter expect
ed to make it pay, for he is an eX-
ceedingly practical man and whether
he plants a vineyard of an orchard or
puts up a big stone building in which
to make wine. as he has done. or feed

pends Il cent
To start with Mr.. Schweiter has built
a little house for his engine right UP
against his wine house and he expects
to use the engine in connection with
his wine factory. Then he will run a
corn cracker during the winter and
grind all the corn he feeds and he will
thus increase the profits on all the
grain hereafter fed to his stock.
Then he has one apple orchard Of five
acres fully grown and twenty acres
more just beginning TO bear and fifteen
acres of vineyard that Will be irrigated
when irrigation is needed, besides the
sons.
Mr.. Schweiter says there are not
many years in Kansas that grapes will
not mature perfectly without irTiga ton
but he claims that the apples are what
needs more water. People will remem-
ber the fine display Of apples a I the fair
last fall from Arizona. some of which

eating machinery were pleased but a

The idea of going out to inspect an ir-
riCation plant and get caught out in a
big rain was even too much for Charlie
Smyth of F.G. Smyth & sons, who had

When the party went down TO Mr..
Schweiter's the wind was blowing at a
terrific rate and the air was filled with

WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES.

Il
Chisholm creek overfowed its banks
just south of the city yesterday and
large section Of Henry Schweiter's
vineyard was flooded.
When a reporter for the Eagle arriv-
ed at the scene of the overflow the little
mound on which the house stands was
covered with people.
The house stands nine feet above the
bed of the creek and from the north
side of the building a large stream of
water was flowing rapidly ana spread
ing over a fifteen acre vineyard.
There were farmers and business
men in the crowd and the fences
around the feed lots were lined with
horses and carriages in which people
had come to see the strange spectacle
OF an overflow in time of a drouth.
The cause of the overflow and all the
excitement was an irrigating plant
which Henry Schweiter has just erect
ed with which to irrigate his vineyard
and orchard. He had given notice that
he would turn the thing loose at 2 p.
IN. and the people had come to see the
show as they termed it.
The water was being raised from the
creek i'll a square wooden pipe 9X9la
inches, and the pressure was sufficient
to force the water out at the upper end
in a rapid current, and wherever the
pipe leaked the water spurted up sever
al feet.
When people looked at the stream of
water flowing across the yard and
into the vineyard, filling up the low
places, the first question asked was:
Well how can so much water run
from such small pipe?
This was soon explained when Mr..
Schweiter took the people down on the
creek bank and showed them A Fair
banks Morse centrifugal pump that
was forcing the water in a constant
stead stream up to the highland, driven
by a gasoline engine.
The engine is a fifteen horse power
and runs as steady as a clock. The
people were somewhat surprised when
informed that the little engine was
running at only about one-half its ca
pacity and that it could force two such
streams of water as the one then f1ow-
ing across the vineyard.
The cost for fuel was eigt to ten cents
per hour and Mr.. Schweiter said the
