IRRIGATION IN ILLINOIS.
1t 10 . success at Sankaaee ana IL Ad'
vocsted Along the Canal.

II IL . Success Mt KankRkee ana 10 No'
vocated Along the Canal.
That the wonderful success OF the
irrigated farm at Kankakee VIII give
great impetus to irrigation In Illinois
there can be no doubt, says the lrriga-
tion Age. Sooner or later this state
and other states along the line OF the
great lakes will be watered by ripe lines
from those great bodies of water, I'LL
aois especially, penetrated as 1t IL to d.
BY the great drainage canal. Alarmists
say that the withdrawal of 100000 cubic
feet of water n minute from Lake Michi-
gan by the drainage canal will reduce
the level OF the lakes to such an extent
as to interfere with navigation by the
largest lake steamers. In rain OF six
inches which recently fell over these
lakes the quantity of water added TO
them was 9.640. .176. 900 cubic feet. II
would take seven years for the Chicago
drainage canal to withdraw this quanti-
ty Of water. This drainage" canal is
really a great ship canal. and by tap
ping It here and there crops Will be
aided to make cargoes for those ships.
But that is a matter of the future:
For the immediate present pumping
plants will convey water from neigh
boring streams. as at Kankakee. and In
this farmers can associate themselves
together here and there and divide the
expense. Reservoirs and lakes will be
made in different sections and various
means will be employed in pumping
the water. Two irrigations season
Will prove sufficient in Illinois. Gas
engines. oil engines and perhaps cleo
Sricity will furnish the power. and 1t Is
likely that windmills will cut big
figure. With gasoline engine. a pump
and reservoir. small patches can be in
dependent of any general irrigation
though it must be confessed
that the latter have proved a great
benefit In the far west. reclaiming
thousands OF acres Of barren lands and
them into farms that pro-
duce not only one. but several crops
a season.

An nerolite burst over the city OF
Madrid. Spain. on the morning OF the
IOth nil. The first warning OF the eN,
plosion was a flash which illuminated
the sky, which was almost immediate-
iy followed by Il tremendous report;
the vibrations from which shattered
hundreds of windows. The aeroiite
was accompanied by a great white
cloud. and simultaneous with the sA-
plosion there was Il trembling OF the
earth resembling the sensation pro
duced by an earthquake. When the
flash and ensuing report took place.
the people rushed panic-stricken into
the streets and some minutes eiapseu
before the excitement was allayed. IL
is estimated that the meteoric body
was twenty miles above the earth
when 1t burst.

ANOTHER CONSULATE STONED

Students at Valencia. Spain. Lead
Valencia, March 6.-The disorders
which were prevalent here when til,
news was first received Of the action Of
the United States Senate on the Cuban
question, broke out afresh yesterday anu
there were renewed demonstrations OF
hostility towards the United States. The
mob made Its way to the United States
consulate, which was stoned and the
windows smashed by the infuriated pop.
uIace. The university here has been
closed under orders from the govern
ment, as 1t was feared the students
meeting would be a hot-bed for breeding
disorders. But this measure proved un-
availing and the police have been kept
busy dispensing students, gatherings
nearly all day.
Several attempts were made by disor-
derly pardsiers to make their way to the
United States consulate, but they were
frustrated, as the authorities had receiv-
ed special orders to be on the lookout fo'
any demonstration against the property
of the United States. Special protection
was afforded the building In which the
offices of the consul are located, with a
view to the same end.
The mob gathered before the police
were aware Of what was occurring, AMI
stones began to fly from the crowd, with
the result that windows were broken.
The crowd was cheered on by some In
the streets and from the neighboring
houses. The police lost no time In charg-
ing the rioters, and the mob was speed
lily dispersed.
There was no violence indulged i'll
other parts of the city, the demonstra'
tons being confined to noisy clamor,
cries of derision against the United
States government and attempts to make
speeches The orators were not allowed
to proceed far before the police drove
away their hearers and warned the
speakers to desist. A number Of arrests
were made as result Of the defiance
OF the orders for preserving the peace.

Its beauty, and 1t Is the intention to

They Can Apportion Funds Without "
superintendent Consent.
Denver. March 8. Regarding the
query sent to the attorney generals s
office on Tuesday concerning the right
Of the treasurer In any one Of the
school districts of any county to divide
the school fund without the authority
Of the county superintendent Of schools.
an answer was yesterday directed TO
School Superintendent Moore Of Ouray
county. who had complained to State
Superintendent Peavey Of similar
habit practiced in his county. Mr..
Moore states that the treasurer and
school board had ordered a part OF the
general fund set apart as a special
teachers fund for 1896.
Tho opinion in full is as follows,
..Section 1881. Mills Annotated stat
utes, makes 1t the duty Of the treasurer
to pay orders of the school district in
the order Of their registry against the
several funds. Section 1893 makes 1t
the duty of the county treasurer TO
keep separate accounts with the dis
tricts and also speaks of separate funds.
Section 1896 makes It Illegal for any
school board to appropriate any money
belonging to the general school fund
for building purposes until the eS-
pense OF n ten months school is pro-
vided for.
"From these citations It will appear
that the resolution is strictly in accord
ance with the statute. 1t Is the duty
of the treasurer to keep the funds of
the district separate and to pay the
orders drawn upon such separate funds
In the order of their registry"
