The irrigation project is flatteringly com mended by the Kansas City Journal. The late washout on the Santa Fe branch of the A., T. A S. F. railroad extended Uve miles of the track. The A., T. & S. F., and the D. & K G., are both pushicg their lines to the Mexican coast with marvelous rapidity. The Chieftain says the .Arkansas river is booming, but the citizens of I'utblo are compelled to drink its stinking, filthy wa ters, and sickness is being noted on every hand as a conseqne nee. There has recently been turned oat of the company's shops at Topeka, a new, engine, said to be gotten up and finished in the most srtistic manner. It is called the Little But tercup, and is intended to haul the pay car. Nickerson Ar0y. Dr. Tanner entered upon the thirty-first dsy of his fast, Wednesday, apparently bright and in good spirits. During the morninz he walked around tbe enclosure of the hall twenty-five times. Hi. gait was firm and step elastic. Yellow fever is tarrying off the populace of Havana at the rate of fifty a week, and a bark has arrived at Mobile with Several ca ses on board. It wilt be a marvel if some of the bronze destroyer doesn't slip into this country before the middle of August. Tbe railroad agents along the line have beea notified to receive nu more freight for, or sell no more tickets to points below Trin idad, Colo. The reason of the order is that tbe entire country in New Mexico is flooded and the road badly washed out in many place?. Of tbe Cimarron city irrigation the New West rays: The first water from the raging Arkansas was let into the new ditch lit t Sat urday. The company has done good work. and hard work, and now their work will be put to the test, and we shall soon see wheth er it is a success or not , After all the Western people have little or no appreciation of humor. A comic weekly news psper made its appearance in Denver last gaturday, and tbe editor, J. A. Wynne. has already been sued twice for libel, and has been hunted by'four irate citizen with shot guns and revolvers. The New York press is cow engaged in es tablishing the fact that there is a great scar city of small bills. The press of the west has taken op the subject, and there is not an editor now in the land but what complains of this deficiency. Let us have more small bills especially let tbe newspaper men have them, and the complaints will cease in- stanter. Yes, "fork over" by all means. John J. Donahue and Miss Etta V. Welsh reside at Grenada. The Chieftain says on Saturday list they were sitting at the table, when Donahue in a spirit of fnn bantered Miss Welsh to marry him. They were mar ried in Pueblo on Sunday. No mention of marriage had ever passed between them be fore Saturday, and their acquaintance had been short. A horrible murder was committed south cf Caldwell, on Monday morning. G. W. Padgett murdered W. H. Sieves, foreman of cattle men, thirty miles south of Cald well. The mDrdeter was apprehended. Tbe Commonwealth correspondent say the d d man was foreman of Stevens & Fleming's herding camp on Salt Fork, sxd a broth c of Steven of that firm. His home was in Comanche county, Texas. Tbe prisoner it also of Texas. Padgett had formerly work ed with Mr. Wagner's herd, and was now in the employ of Stevens. Some of Wagoe.'s etteri got into Stevens' herd and were recog nized. A dispute arose about what to do with them; one proposal being that they should be sold snd proceeds divided. High words resulted. Both men were in the sad dle. Padgett shot Stereos through the heait. lie cl.ims habitual abuse and insult from Stevens, and personal attack with bis quirt, while the dispute lasted. It seem that tbe TJte commission i hay ing a Utile trouble. While Ouray has prov ed to be master f the situation and holds his tribe in apparent subjection, yet there are mormerings of discontent, and a break may occur at any moment The Indiana have signed the treaty for their rcmoraLbut there are a few who denounce the treaty ae an outrage, and it is feared that these may sow the teed of discontent and bring about aiuptnre. The Pueblo Chieftain says it wouldn't be a bad idea for the misers in that section to load op their rifle and pre pare for any emergency that may arise. J. Max. Clark, writing in the Greelr Si ssys that exp-rience in alfalfa growing in Weld county point to two or three facts, viz: 1st that alfafa should not be sheared very close to the gronnd at tbe last cutting. That it shoaid be liberally supplied with water late in tbe season, or watered at lrtst oace after last cutting. 3d. That water applied after the weather is so old a to freeze ground solid or freez, a sheet of ice over the surface will entirely destroy Ibe'plant Mr. Clark further says that the imprest ion that alfalfa is not strong enorgh fc: 1 for work horses is erroneous; that any horse fed on alfalfa will show it dearly in his stick, glossy coat and fine flesh. All the horses in that county fe 1 upon it can be d" -tiniuished by these characteristics from thoe which are not MEETING OF FORD COUNTY DEM- OCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Ford co. Dem.
