SKY VISITOR PASSES
over -HOLBROOK

Friday evening aboutsiX- thirty
meteor, or some other body or
like nature, passed over Hol-
brook going almost due east at
a rate of speed that would make
switt-moving express train
seem as though it were standing
dead still The noise it created
was very loud and lasted for at
least half a minute and sound
ed something like distant thun-
der or the booming of a cannon
IN the distance 1t left Il large
cloud OF smoke iii its trail and
several Of our citizens heard it
explode a couple ot times. A few
saw 1t and nearly everyone heard
the noise it made Reports from
Winsi9W are that several people
saw the body pass over the town,
and the noise was heard ut st.
Joseph, Woodruff, Pinedale and
Concho. That either all or part
OF the body fell near the section
house at Aztec, SIX miles east ot
bere, there seems to be little
doubt. The section foreman at
that point has several pieces of
/. on exhibition in his front yard,
and a few small pieces were
brought in here One piece larger
than an orange fell into a tree in
a yard at Aztec cutting the lInb
off slick and clean and falling to
the ground, and when picked up
was almost red hot. Other par
tlcles OF the body fell i'll the same
vicinity and an witness
states that for about a miic 10
the cast he could see little pMis
ol dust arising from he sand,
evidently where irugrents struck.
Onc OF the pnznIing features Of
specimens is that it is not like
metoric iron. but is d rock in a
sandy state, black on the out

would like some scientist to cX-
plain the whole works. This be

may have a great deal to do
with the phenomenon, therefor
an astrologer may shed some
light OH the subject, and perhaps
the Mexican revolution may
have some bearing in the case,

Growth of Irrigation Systems

The growth of irrigation sys-
TENS throughout the world has
been a remarkable feature of the
agricultural progress of the nine
teenth century. The great Assou
an dam across the upper Nile
has added myriads of acres to
the fertilized area OF Egypt;
France has sown the Northern
Saharah with oases, made beau
tifal and fruitful hy artesian
wells; British India is dotted
here and there by public works,
which store up the floods of the
periodical rains, against the
scorching drought of midsum-
mer, and besides millions invest
ed by corporations and private
citizens, the United States
government has constructed
some splendid irrigation systems
in what have been considered ir-
reclaimable deserts. National

Bismarck could forgive. but he
wished to do it after proper solicita-
ton. At the beginning Of the Danish
war Field Marshal Wrangle. who was
at the head of the Prussan troops. was
exceedingly annoyed at one point to
be telegraphed not to advance farther,
and he returned message telling
King William that these diplomatists
who spoil the most successful opera
tons deserve the gallows." After that
Bismarck ignored him completely, and
one day they met at the kings table,
where it was especially awkward TO
preserve a GOODNESS. Wrangle called
everybody 'du," and presently he
turned to Bismarck. who vas seated
next him. and said. My son, caust
thou not forgetT' No" was the curt
reply. After a pause Wrangle began
again, MY son. canst thou not for

once ran the risk of spelling their prac-

Back" remarks: Quite certainly the
first time ever fell into the hands Of
a mustached doctor was in 1877. Ev-
cry one condemned the hirsute appen-
dage as highly unprofeSsional, and
when soon after the poor man found
his way into a lunatic asylum neigh
boring doctors of the old school said
they were not surprised-that there
was a bad family history and that he
himself had shown signs of eccentric
ity. That meant the mustache and
