Irrigation Farming is handbook
by Lutte Wilcox of Colorado, and is pub
lished by the Orange Judd Company OF
New York. This manual contains nine
ty-five illustrations. The text is clear
and concise, and there is not line of
yer rbiage in the work. 1t appears TO be a
fine example of completeness, and treats
upon agriculture by irrigation, supple
mented with scientific cultivation. This
book is primarily written for and adapted
to Western farmers and farms, but is.
we are assured, equally valuable TO
farmers in the South and other sections of
the country. 1t is divided into twenty
chapters, each Of which is a condensed
treatise on its special topic. The conclud-
ing portions of the book give review of
the common law of irrigation and a
glossary of irrigation terms.

AN INCENDIARY
ImperilS the Lives of Many Persons
to Get the Insurance on Stock Of
Goods Which Had Been Moved Out.

Omaha, Neb., March 16.-SiXteen
people were recued from the third and
fourth stories of the burning Withnell
block, corner Fifteeneh and Harney
streets, to-day by fremen with the aid
of extension ladders A number Of
them were young women and all were
carried out in safety. Though the
damage to the block was less than
$4,000, it cut off all escape by destroy
ing the elevator and staircase, and for
a few minutes rendering the situation
of the inmates on the top floor critical.
Many of them were with difficulty re-
strained from jumping to the pavement
below. Theories of incendiarism were
reported to Chief of Detectives Davis
this morning and detectives were de-
tailed to look up the case. They exam
ined the debris and found deposits Of
cOmbustibles The officers are at work
on the theory that most Of the stock
was taken out before the blaze was
sarted, and circumstantial evidence of
arson was so strong that VIM. Schultz
and his manager, James II. McCabe,
were arrested tonight, charged with
firing the buildings. Part of the stock,
worth 500, was located in an adjoin-
ing building.
