Nothing has been done at the state

representative, Cimmaron, Kan.
The state plant at Kendall has been
a waste of money so far. There is 40
feet of water in the well, but the wind
mill and tower were blown down early
last spring, and no attempt was ever
made to repair them.-James Ford,
Syracuse, Kan.
The state plant at Good1and is one of
the very best in the state, with a water
supply which the largest pumps put to
work have failed to reduce. A man had
charge of it, and he made it pay. This
year, however, he left the county, and
no one else having been secured, the
plant is now idle.-A- B. Montgomery,
GOOdland, Kan
The state irrigation plant at this
point is a humiliating failure. With
a good well, good reservoir and splend-
id equipment, the reservoir has never
been filled. The plant has been sc
much neglected that am unable to say
where the fault is, but 1 am disposed tc
think that the neglect suggested tells
the story of our disappOintment.-C. E
Lobdell, representative, Dighton, Kan.
desire to say something with refer
ence to the experimental irrigation
at this place. 1t has proved a failure
but think for the want of proper man
agement, or, rather, it has been with
out any management at all. In the first
place the reservoir was built properly
under contract with parties in this
county, but a miserable botch and fail
ure were made so far as the well, pump
and windmill are concerned, in cOnSe-
quence of which has been a constant
menace to Wichita county. Who is re-
sponsible I shall not say, but it is tc
be hoped that it will soon be put il
running condition and the reservoir fill
ed before spring-W. b. Washington
attorney at law, Leoti, Kan.
Is it, therefore, surprising, to see the
Garden City Herald, a friend of irri-
cation. print the following?:
Nobody will object to the Legislature
! abolishng the state irrigation commits
sion. The board did most of their work
with their mouths, as no practical re-
suits were ever seen. They all drew
their salaries, however, even if none OF
the state pumps ever drew water"

Helen Wcinert. 20 years old. wife OF Hans
Weincrt OF 40 Fourth street. Union Hill, died

stances which tho police are investigating.
Tho cause OF her death was arsenic poisoning.
Weincrt, who Is employed as n salesman for a
paper box manufacturer in this city, lived with
his vito and n 2-yoar-old daughter in apart
mcnts over George Krispein's road house.
The attention of the police was called to the

death. Krispein said no had heard weinert
and his wife qunrrelling on Sunday night.
Shortly aftorward, he said, weinert came down
to the bar room and said that his wife wal sick
and that no wanted n bottle of milk for her.
He took the milk upstairs. Krispein said no
heard no more noise during the remainder 81

IDLE SEASON FOR cLoAKMAKERs.

Many watches and Some Clothing. Toe. Likely
to Go to the Pawnshop This winter.
Tho Executive Committee Of the Cloakmakers'
Union decided yesterday to hold aloof from
strikes for tho present, as tho slack season be-
gan this week, and less than % per cent. of the
cloakmakers will have work from now on until
the winter 10 nearly over. OF those now en-
ployed a large number will work only a day or
two every week. The busy season for tho
spridg trade begins in the latter part Of Febru-
airy. The season just ended was shorter and
less prosperous than tho closkmakers expected.
Many Of the cloakmakers buy watches or
jewelry when money is plenty. 1t is the ambi-
ton of nearly every garment worker on tho east
side to have a gold watch. even II he has TO stint
himself to pay for It. A great deal OF jewelry
and other articles will go to the pawnshops this
winter. A member OF the Executive
of the union said yesterday:
mot only will jewelry be pawned. but cloth
ing also when 1t can be spared, and even boots.
Generally the grocers and others give long
credits. The c~loskmakers can live in an emer.
gency on less than most people. but. all the
same. Q great many will be badly of, I'm afraid"

LACK OF FOOD IN THE YUKON.
The war Department DevisinE means to RE-
lieve the Distress.

nove the Distress.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 2a.-Secretary Alger Is
concerned over the reports published in this
mornings papers about the lack Of food in the
Yukon country. He said to THE L reporter
to-day that he believed that a much larger
amount of provisions was distributed along the
river than the pross reports represented.
Nothing can be done to relieve the distress at
this season. however, but IL the stories of starva-
tion among the Klondike miners are confirmed
in official communications which the War De-
partment is expecting, arrangements will be
made for sending relief supplies to Circle City
and lsewherea at the earliest time practicable.
Capt. II. II. Ray of the army, who was sent to
report on the condition Of things along the Yu-
kon, has not been heard from for some time.
Press dispatches say he was at Circle City on
Sept. 80. Letters from him are supposed to
have reached Seattle yesterday on the steamer
City OF Seattle. and II the supposition be cor.
rect the letters will be delivered to the Adju-
tant-General of the army by the end of the week.
II Capt. Rays reports are conhrmatory OF tho
press dispatches, the President will ask Con-
gress to make provision for the relief OF the
miners at once. 80 that an expedition can be
started from Juneau in February or March with
clothing and provisions.
Secretary AlRer has had several conferences
to the Klondike country. To-day he had a talk
with William I. Kjellmann, a Norwegian. who
Is the assistant superintendent OF the United
States reindeer station in Alaska. Mr.. kjell-
mann came through to Washington from st.
Michael. Before leaving that post he had COM
piled with orders to turn over 200 head OF draft
reindeer to Lieut.. Col. Randall. the commandment
OF Fort st. Michael.
An expedition such as the reports of starva-
ton may make necessary has been partially
planned. and already Frank Phiscator Of Michi-
gan. who spent two years in the klondike. has
expressed a Willingness, at the request Of the
War Department, to take charge of it. Phisca.
tor brought back $4,000 from Dawson City.
and has an offer Of 81. DOC, 900 from an English
syndicate for his claim there.
The snow is too light at this season to permit
q relief expedition 10 pass overland to the klon-
dixie. but 1t 10 expected that by February 1t will
be sufficiently firm 10 allow reindeer and dog
trains to proceed. The plan OF the War Depart.
mcnt is to start such an expedition from juneau.
as II will he impossible to reach st. Michael and
other ports until spring,
II the intentions OF the department are carried
out a large number of reindeer and dog sledges.
loaded with provisions and clothing, and in
charge OF men familiar with the region, will be
started through White Pass for the points where
people are said to be starving. Congress viii be
asked to make an adequate appropriation. The
project will be risky. but Secretary Alger is de.
termined to spare no effort to relieve the
distress.

BUFFALO, Nov. 29.-As Frank Erne OF Buffalo
and Jack Downey OF Brooklyn were about to
enter tho Empire Club ring tonight for their
twenty-round bout for a purse of 81. $50. war
rants, alleging that they were about TO commit Q
crime, were served on them. These warrants had
been sworn out by the Rev. Byron II. Stauffer, a
local agitAtor. Alderman Franklin and Tim
Hurst, who was 10 referee the bout, accom-
panied the principals TO the hotel, where County
Judge Emery was waiting for them, and Erne
and Downey were released on bail In the sum Of
$500 not to violate the Horton law.
1t was past IL o'clock when they entered the
ring. The mon had fought three draws-one Of
eight, one OF ten, and one of twelve rounds. Tho
last was stopped by tho Brooklyn police.
Tonight they fought their fourth draw.
1t seemed to Ernc'. friends from tho
start that he was lighting under restraint. His
defensive work was good, and he blocked Dow
ney,s, attacks with u%nfailing sklll, He al;
the way through. and before tho fight
was half over the crowd came to the
conclusion that Erue at least was fighting in
Tear OF to-mOrrow's appearance IN court. Erne
proved, himself far superior to ,Downoy as u
boxer, but the men were even at the close.
Referee Hurst made he statement that after
q rest the men had agreed 10 box twenty rounds.
with the understanding that, both being on
their feet at the end. the decision should be a
draw. This explained the tame Kidding OF the
greater part Of the evening. but tho crowd was
greatly dissatisfied.
In the preliminary bout johnny LayGck OF
Cleveland and Luke stevens OF Buffalo fought .
tAn-rouRd draw.
