MR.. SHAW'S TROUBLES.
Secretary of Treasury Receiving
Some Peculiar Letters,

Several Washington newspapers
recently have published paragraphs
similar to the following:
persons who don't know that pros
perity is here, are looking askance at
the action of Secretary of the Treas
nry Shaw ir coming to the relief of
Wall street. This is ridiculous. That's
just what good old Uncle Sam Is here
for-to help the deserving. Anybody
who is short and wants 81 to tide him
over until next pay day can get it by
addressing Mr.. Shaw, treasury build
ing, Washington. 1t is strange that
this is not more generally known"
That the paragraph has been taken
seriously is illustrated by the numbe
of letters that have been received by
the treasury department. Two which
have come read as follows, the signers'
names being with held for Obvious
reasons:

far the most clever actress OF all, though
M4ster Jack Pollard in the role Of Sir
Lewis Gray, Judge OF the divorce court,

some were uncles and cousins) displayed

MANY KILLED.
Troops Rain Storm of Bullets on
Mob in Barcelona and Streets
Run Red with Blood.

Madrid, Feb. 20. According
to kilograms received here late to-
night from Barcelona, the street
fighting there continues. The
heavy rain which fell during the
day helped to disperse the rioters,
and the authorities are taking Sc
we're measures.
A proclamation has been issued
ordering all private individuals to
surrender any weapons they may
possess, under pain of severe pen
alties. The sale of arms has also
been prohibited.
The dwellings of the strike
leaders and of anarchists are be-
ing registered and put under
guard. The battleship Pelayo has
been ordered to Barcelona. The
military engineers have assumed
control of the street car services
and few cars, half. filled with
soldiers, are running. Even the
funeral coaches have to be pro
tected by the soldiers.
No letters have been delivered
in Barcelona in three days, and in
some distant parts of the town
business is completely paralyzed.
A pitched battle occurred in
the outskirts of the city between
the strikers and the military es-
cort attached to several wagons
that were bringing in provisions.
The contents of the wagons were
dragged out and barricades were
built across the road. The rails
have been torn up to prevent
trains from entering the city.
Owing to the strict censorship
over news from Barcelona, it is
difficult to ascertain the real state
of affairs there.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


The irrigation bill which passed the
house by the vote of l4G to So, it is con
fidently predicted, will in its operation
show itself a better measure than some
of the eastern farm papers believe. 1t
amounts to nothing more than an ex-
tension Of the homestead act. 1t makes
homesteads which are dry and unin-
habtable fertile and productive, but
the cost Of this improvement has to be
borne by the hOmesteader. The gov
eminent simply advances the money
and gives him ten years in which to
pay it back. Again, it is shown that
Willie it is hoped to ultimately reclaim
Il great tract of western land, the
process must under the most favora
bic conditions to the west be very
slow If 100000 acres a year should
be northumberland this is four times
the amount estimated under the bill
just passed-it would take fifty years
to reclaim that part Of the west which
can be irrigated This would not be
sufficient addition of land to nearly
keep pace with our increase Of popula-
ton.
This would be taking half century
to open up, for instance, an area equal
to the single state of Colorado. Such
slow development, it is claimed, will
never be felt by the eastern farmer.
Again, it is shown that the surplus
products Of irrigation will go in the fu-
ture, as they do now, to the orient in
stead of coming east to compete with
eastern farmers.-Guy Il. Mitchell in
Tennessee Farmer.
