A, O'Neil of this city was the victim of a peculiar aud mysterious shooting affair last night. He had been down town transacting business and about 11 o'clock ho started from the basiness part of town toward his home in South Park, a resident suburb some dwstance out. While travorsing an unfrequented part of the road he overtook & man whom he says heis not acquainted with, but whom he can recognize by sight. The stranger inquired why O'Neil was following bim. O'Neil denied that he was following him, buu the stranger seemed to be laboring under the idea that O'Noil intended 10 rob him, and aftor they had had some ‘words, during which both of them becamo somewhat irritated, the strangor drew a re volver, which he discharged 1nto the ground in front of O'Neil, This not having the ef- foct dosired he next fired a charge into O'Neil's _breast, inflicting a dangerous wound. The shooting ana consequent cries occasioned thereby soon aroused the neigh- borhood and O'Neil was removed to his homo, The assailant fled immediately after the 8hooting, and so far has not beon captured. August Bach, a prominent residgent of the neighborhood, saw a man run from the vicin- ity of tho shooting within a fow minutes n{lur the deed, and thinks be cun identify him, The doctors removed the bullet from O'Noil's buck this morning. They found that it bhad entered his breast and pursued a eourse around his chest and lodged in his back. It is such a bullet as 1s usually fired from a bulldog revolver and is of 44 caliver. A young man named Wilham Plager, em- ployed by a grocery firm 1n town as a deliv- ery boy, was arrested this morning by Oficer Fitzpatrick on & warrant sworn out before Judge Archer, but after boing taken before the wounded man he was released, as O'Neil could not identify him.

SE Mr. Depew's “Voung Man Go South What He Suffered for It, New Yonk, April 23, —Last night at Del- monicoe's, Amos Parker Wilder talked to Lis fellow alumini of Yale college about what he hadseen in a recent trip through the south, The uegro question, he said, would bo set- tled provided the negro kept his hands off. The southern understanding was that the black man and the white man should each follow his own way independent of the other, a situation which today seems a cruel one for the negro. Underneath the present almost hostile attitude of the whites, however, ho had discerned an acknowledging of the benetits which the south derives from the uegro population which promises well for the future. Mr. Wilder said that the enterprise and advance- ment of the so-called ‘‘new south’ was due almost entirely to northerna who bave gone there since the war. Some time ago, he said Mr. Depow had advised young men to go south and many Yaie men, among others, had gono thero and wero now among the most prosperous of ssutherners. Mr. Dopew, who presided at the meeting then said: “When I returned from my southern trip three years ago and told you of the observations I had made, & reportar who was present printod a synophis of a portion of whac L said, dwoelling particularly upon my words of praiso of thogsouth. I heard from that report, My ;correspondence amounted toa bushel a day” or thereabouts. Pooblo wanted 1o know whero they must go 10 profit by this wonderful 15l Dorado. They inquired about tho trains and what stations thoy shoula get off at. Then the southern land boomer got hola of my report. He took extracts from itand driuted 1t over my namo on hand bilis as big as that mirror o there. In cousequence thousauds ef families in all parts of the north and west, who had not succedded very well, packed up and went south. Then I began to receive more corro- spondence. But it was of a different sort. Some of it was inflammatory. Some of it was vituverative. A good many of my corre- svoudents asked for loans.” Mr. Depew talked of the nogro guestion hopefully. Ho said, however, that prejudico gave tho negro no chanco in the nortn and tharso faras he could seo this northern prejudico was inoreasing. Ho said he looked upon Hamnpton college as the eventual solu- tion of tho negro quostion. In speaking of the prejudice of southern whites against the negro he swd: “When a white man goes south before long he joins in suppressing the negro no matter how good a republican Le may have been in the north.” e THREATENED TO ANNIHILATE THEM. Extensive aud Deadly Anarchist Plant Seized by the New York Police. New Yorg, April 23.—Goorge Staley, an anarchist living in- Hooolen, was arrested last Tuesday on complaint of Aloert Wag- ner, a saloonkeepor living in tho house with Staloy, on a charge of drunkenncss aud dis- orderly conduct, and he was sen.oucoed te term of thirty days in the couaty jail by Re- corder McDonough. Whon arrested, Staley, who 13 a fiery tem- pered little man, made dire threats of ven- Reance agaiast all concerned in bis arrest, but no attontion was paid to him. Today Mrs. Staloy said that her husoand had made threats to annihilate Recorder McDounough and the police and blow up Wagner's suloon when he cot out of prison, and she was in graat fear he would carry out his threat. She informed tho poiice that her husband had been engaged in making dyna- mite bombs and other deadly enzines, and offered 1o convince them such was the fact if they would accompany ber to the house.

MANY MILES OF DITCHES What the Irrigation Movement is Doing for Nebraska. FARMERS INTERESTED IN THE SYSTEM Thousands ot Acres Already Artificially Expense Which Makes the Succoss ot Iden n Certuinty. Watered and at a LixcoLs, Neb,, April 23.—[Special to Tir Ber, | —Somo woenks ago these columns con tned a brief recapituiation of the opera- tions of the irrigating and water companies thatbad been formedin the state of Ne braska, Atthat time it was impossible to give more than the names of the several com- panies and the amount of stock authorized by each.

It is a mistake to imagino that the irrigat- ing companies formed in Nebraska exist only on paper. It Is still more n mistake to imagine that the irrigation problem in N. braska is still an unsolved ono. The reports alreaay mude by Commissioner Audres prove that not only is irrigation practiouble and successful in Nebraska, bou that hundreds of miles of irrigation ditches are alroady in operation and thousands of acres of land are alroady receiving the benofits of the scores of systoms that have been put in operation, The following is a brief summary of the re- sults of Commissionor Andres’ invostiga- tions: ‘The Haigler Land and Canal company hias a paid up capital of §25,000 and has completed thirteon miles of ditches in Dundy county.

It takes its water supnly from the French- man and will irrigate tliis year, if nocossary, 50,000 acres of land at an annual rontal of $1.50 per acre, C. H. Moeker has investod £50,000 in a pri- vate irrigating enterprise in Rea Willow, Hitchcock and Furnas counties. He has already constructed twenty-two miles of ditches aud has sixty miles under way. He 1s propared to furnish water for 10,000 acres at an annual rental of not to exceed $1 per acre.

It has already constructed fifreen miles of mains and is at work on eighteen addi- tional miles. It has 2500 acres of land under ditch, 10,000 acres being improved lands last year. In addition to furnishing water for irrigating purposes the company has constructed two power plants for manu- facturing purposes, one at Arapahoe and the other at Oxford. ‘The Mitchell Canal and Irrigatiug com- pany in Scotts Bluffs county receives an nn- Jimited supply of water for irrigating pur- poses from the North Platte river which it distributes through twenty-six and one-half wiles of ditches. The entire system wus completed in eleven months and is already in opoeration. It benefits 17,000 acres. The Farmers Canal company of Scotts Bluffs county will invest 50,000 the comine year. It has now in course of construction twenty miles of ditches, togethor with Lwo reservoirs with an area of 115 and 800 acres respectively. The entire length of the canal when completed will be eighty miles and the arca to be peuetitted will be over 100,000 acres.
