The Greatest Irrigation Scheme
Ever Attempted.

Ever ACtcmptcO.
Col. W. F.. Cody, known the world over
as "Buffalo Bill,'' is interested in one of the
most extensive irrigation schemes ever at
tempted in the world. The scene OF opera
ton Is in northwestern Wyoming, where,
for the past three months, the promoters OF
the project have had 400 men at work on
irrigation canals Besides Col. Cody, others
interested In the scheme are Nate Salisbury,
bis manager and partner; George Bleistem,
publisher of the Buffalo Courier; Rumsey
Bros. of Buffalo; Proprietor Gearans of the
Iroquois Hotel of that city; E. V. Foote, a
New York millionaire, and Edward Stokes,
owner of the Hoffman House, Chicago.
These men secured a concession OF &c.,

80 ANGLICiZE CHINA.
The Language to Be Taught in All
the PRINCIPAL Cities.

According to news received in Washing
ton from unofficial sources, Lii Hung
Changes visit to England and the United
States already has borne, fruit. in decis-
ion of the Chinese government gradually
to Anglicize the Chinese people, at least as
far as their language is concerned. The
Pekin government recently issued instruc-
tions to the various vicerOys and governors
of provinces of the empire to establish
schools for the teaching of the English
languages and the western sciences in all
the principal cities of the country. Ac-
cOrding to the wording of one clause in the
general instructions, the reason for this is
that China, in order to keep herself on
terms of equality and in touch with the
great powers of Europe, ''must educate the
masses and encourage the inventive genius
and foreign learning among her people, to-
gether with that love of country and home
and that devoted patriotism so conspicuous
ly cngrafted in all the hearts of those who
have studied such languages and sciences"

STATE OF NEBRASKA
NEWS OF The WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Young Cir. .pies at the Columbus
Hospital as the Result, it is Said,
Of Inhuman Treatment by Her
Foster Parents.
Charge of Cruelty to a Child.


Frances Will, 10-year-old orphan girl,
has lived with her foster parents near
Oc"nee, ten miles west of Columbus. The
child, though fair of face and form, was
weak and delicate and her health was
never robust. Because she could not do
the work of others older and stronger than
herself, she was beaten and otherwise i'll
treated. Sickness ensued, when she was
taken to Columbus and placed in st.
Mary's hospital, her little body black with
bruises and sore with wounds, and on
Chistmas morning, when other children
were recounting what good Santa Claus
had placed in their stockings, she, unat-
tended and alone, save for kind
hospital nurse, was dying. Later in the
day she died.
About one month before she died the
attention of County Attorney Gondring
was called to the matter. He interviewed
the girl, but said that he thought that no
conviction could be made, and also thought
that her case had been exaggerated. Some
two weeks before she died the physician
in attendance, as he says for his own pro-
lection, took a stenOgrapher with him and
got statement from the child after it was
apparent that she could not live. He asked
her if she knew what death was, and if she
knew that she was very sick. She replied
that she had seen her mother die, and that
she knew that she herself could not live.
The physician then admonished her to tell
the whole truth and to use the physicians
own words, ''the little victim then told a
story of blood-curdling cruelty and abuse
almost beyond belief and enough to make
a mans hair stand on end"

The 8 .Mbuster Commodore Goes
Down Near New Smyrna.

The 8 S.Mbuster Commodore Goes
Down Near New Smyrna.
The steamer Commodore, which cleared
from Jacksonville, Fla, for Cienfuegos,
Cuba, ON Thursday, with a cargo of arms
and ammunition, is reported foundered off
New Smyrna. Twenty-eight men were on
board the steamer. One boat was washed
ashore empty and another one landed with
twelve men. The Commodore carried two
other boats, but these have not been heard
from. The steamer is reported to have
sunk twenty miles out to sea.
A Monday morning dispatch says. Sew
enteen men accounted fer out of the % on
the Cuban fihbuster Commodore, with
slight chance of seven more vet alive.
Five men came ashore at Dayton, Capt.
Murphy, Stephen Crane the novelist, the
cook and two sailors. One of the latter,
VIM. Higgins of Rhode Island, died soon
after reaching land from the effects of the
high surf. One of the survivors says the
tug sank at z O'Clock Saturday morning,
twenty miles off New Smyrna, caused by
leak which was discovered at about 3
O'Clock. lit is said that traitor in Spanish
pay was the cause of the leak. He
will be found and dealt with later.
As the Commodore continued to sink, two
boatloads of Gnbans, twelve men in all,
were sent off One boat containing six
men was capsized and it is feared the men
were lost One of the ifeboats containing
nine men was swamped and hastily con-
structed raft made up of materials thrown
to them and then they disappeared from
sight. Capt. Murphy, Stephen Crane, the
newspaper man, Higgins and sailors took
to the ten-foot boat at the last moment.
An attempt was made to save the men in
the water around them, but the heavy sea
and binding wind made it impossible.

lives and the destruction of property.
Telegraphic communication is prostrated

from the greatest destruction occurred at
Mooringsport, La, about thirty miles from
Texarkana, where the entire town was
blown away and seven or eight persons
killed outright and as many more
injured, some of them fatally. The
wires went down in the storm

The railroad has sent train with a corps
of surgeons and other relief to the town.
Rumors of great destruction at Benton
have reacedh here.
The Iron Mountains south bound pas

that station and had to be held there until
the storm subsided. Tt is reported that
twenty-five houses were blown down at
Benton and a number of people injured.
Benton is twenty-five miles south of Little

been caused south of Benton to
Texarkana is not known. There are
number of good sized towns in that pOr-

of them being interrupted. A private tele-
gram from Cameron states that the storm
struck that place with terrific fury, de-
molishing nearly the entire town. One
man is known to have been killed. The
storm was very severe at Little Rock, the
rain falling in torrents for over an hour,
and was accompanied by magnificent
electrical display, but the wind did No

A report is in circulation in Washington
that President Cleveland will send spec

lieved that if the president contemplates

reference to the question of securing home

Gently received a response from the Span
ish authorities to the Overtures made some
time ago by this government looking to
Cuban autonomy. Whether the response
was favorable to the proposition or other
wise cannot be definitely stated, but there
is good reason to believe that it was quite
satisfactory to the president and Secretary
Olney.
1t is generally believed in diplomatic
circles that there will be some important
developments in regard to the Cuban sit
uation Immediately after the re-cOnvening
of congress. These developments, it is
predicted, will be of such a character as to
draw the attention of congress for time
at least from the further consideration of
the Cameron resolution and the discussion
of the issue made by Secretary Olney when
he asserted that the power to recognize the
independence of foreign government be-
longed exclusively to the executive.
