Last night end the night before the city jaller had numerous calls for lodging, and, according to the Jail rules, nona of the vagabonds were turned away so long as there was room on the floor or a vacant hook on the wall. Among the gang who applied for admission were Mike | Kinnen, John Libbey and Tom Kelley. On night in jail evidently spoiled them for any- thing else, for yesterday morning, within a few minutes after they had had their warm breakfast and had been turned out into the cold world they were nabbed agaln. They had wandered into John Beno's store and nipped a suit of winter clothing. They will be brought before Judge McGee this morning and will undoubtedly be given what they want, a thirty-day shelter from the cold weather. Neither the city or the county has ever provided work for this class of petty criminals, and a thirty-day term in either jail is consequently nothing more nor less than a dream of delight. to month blasts only explores Brownies and Bugs, Not a large audience, but a very apprecia- uve one, braved the cold weather outdoors and in Dohany’s opera house last evening to witness the entertainment given under the direction of Mrs, W. H. Lynchard and Mrs, C. A. Atkins for the benefit of the Christian home. A crowd of little folks had been in- dustriously drilled by the two ladies during the weeks while the entertainment was in process of preparation, and the result war- |ranted all the efforts that had been made. The play of “The Brownies” was one of the |attractive features. For the idea, as well as its working out, the audience was in- debted to W. H. Lynchard of this city. A number of children were attired as bugs and brownies. The queen of the fairies, Mrs, John Sobleskl, came upon the stage lament- Ing that her subjects had nearly all been Killed off by the hateiul bugs, and the gar- den which had been their favorite meeting Place had become the stamping ground for hosts of the noxious insects. While in this frame of mind the leading fairy, Miss Sylvia Snyder, entered, and suggested that the hordes ‘of brownies be summoned to destroy the bugs. The plan was adopted, and a ludicrous battle took place, in which right conquered, of course. The costumes and attitudes ‘of the little fellows were very amusing, and their actions hardly less so. The remainder of the program was taken up with musical selections, fancy drills and recitations. The Cox family of Pella, Ia. played a number of fine selections, furnish- ing the greater part of the musical portion of the program. They are excellent musi- cians, showing a great deal of talent, which has been Improved by cultivation. The affair was a very successful one, excepting in a financlal way, and Mrs. Lynchard and Mrs. Atkins are entitled to a great deal of credit for the way In which they managed it. Sheridan Coal.

The employes of the railway company did not know Jjust what was the matter with him, but realizing that something ought to be done for him, sent word to the police station, and had him taken there for safe keeping. His wife came over from Omaha last evening, very much worried because she had lost sight of him, énd seemed jntensely relieved when she found that he had not dis- appeared for good. She took him to Neu- mayer's hotel and cared for him through the night, and he will probably be taken back lome ' today.

FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-Tt is now twenty-one days since the steam colliers Montserrat and Keweenaw sailed for San Francisco from nelghboring ports on Van- couver island, British Columb Nearly all seafaring men belleve that the two vessels and thelr crews, numbering nearly sixty men, were lost in the recent gale, which broke in all its fury on the night that the colliers put to sea. Notwithstanding that the steamers were 50 long out, on & voyage that should have been completed within fourteen days, some of the owners, consign- ees and some of the familles of thé score of luckless mariners still have hopesy In re- sponse to their earnest appeals the govern- ment has sent out another steamer in search of the missing vessels. The United States gunboat Hennington went to sea this even- ing under instructions to proceed northward and make thorough search for the missing vessels, The United States revenue cutter Grant,” which was dispatehed from Port Townsend on a similar ervand several days ago, is still at sea Those most Interested in the fate of the two colliers were somewhat discouraged by reports coming from an indian cam Amphritite point, on the west coast of ¢ island, The Indians say that on the night of December 15, during a terribl storm, their attention was attracted by rocke(s at sea, and dimly through the dark- ness they saw a big black steamer founder @bout & mile off shore. The vessel lay help- less in the sea drifted northward out of sight.

DENVER, Dec Bxperiments conducted the past two weeks at Goodland and other polnts in Kansas have resulted in the most important demonstrations of irrigation pos- sibilities that have been had In the west for many vears. There is no room left doubt that the underground flow in a la portion of western Kansas and Nebraska and the part of eastern Colorado that can- not be placed under ditch s sufficient to provide “irrigation water to an _immense acreage, and that the use of wind mill pumps is not only economical, but never fails to produce satisfactory results. The experiments have shown that at o maximum ccst of about 850 & pumping ap- paratus can be ere ficlent water to cover ten to twenty acres. The investment in the pump and wind mill is permanent, and is equivalent to the pur- chase of a ditch right in re rigation by ditch is practicable tenance of the apparatus is a comp: slight expense. The water Is found in abundant supply at a depth of 150 to 200 feet, and continuous PUmpINg has no effect on the volume, There has been not a little hardship felt in some sections of Kansas and Nebraska. on account of the drouth of last summer, and the dis- covery that there is abundant water easily obtainable has caused the most intense joy It is likely that capital will at once in terest itself in the new field of supplying wells and pumps and charging a_ yearly rental. The charge could be ample to return a highly satisfactory interest without being onerous, and each farmer could be forever assured’ of a crop. The area under cultiva- tion would probably be reduced, but the ag- gregate crop would be increased, and the labor of the farmer would be lessened. The most cheerful expectations are felt by those who have watched the experiments closely. MASSILLON MINERS nal OMcers Advise Them Agalnst Ac- cepting the Operators’ Terms. MASSILLCN, O, Dec. 27.—A del gate meet- ing of the miners of this district was held here today to consider the proposition to ac- cept the rate of wages fixed by the board of arbitration, but no decision was reached.

He concluded with this remark: _‘Hold yourselves free to act, but would it Be best to_strike now?” Secratary Patrick McBryde also spoke, ad- vising the miners to appeal for another trial before the board of arbitration, but told them not to accept 60 cents a’ ton. The meeting will be resumed tomorrow morning. e Guards Will Defend the Prisoner.

The scheme originated fn 1590 and has caused trouble each year since, Several hours were spent in_the ‘college and university department in bootless discussion of the sub- Ject today, resulting in postponement for an- other year Last year a committee of seven was ap- pointed to prepare a list of colleges of the state and to determine how many of them should be admitted to full membership in this department of the State Teachers' asso- clation, the balance to assoclate membership only. The test was the number of chairs, course of study and general equipment. The Agricultural college was excluded because of its technical character, but by amendments mado today will now come in for considera. tion. Under the report of the committee those entitled to full membership were: State university, Towa college, Cornell college, Penn college, ‘Drake university, Parsons college, Simpson college, Des Moines college, Tabor college and Coe college. Those not entitled to such membership were: Upper Towa uni- versity, Towa Wesleyan univers Luther college, Western college and Central uni- versity. The report also recommended that no more colleges bo established in lowa ex- cept by consolidation of those now running, unless ‘abundant support is guaranteed them. Charges of conspiracy between the State uni- versity and larger colleges were made, and the protest against the adoption of the report was o vigorous that action was postponed for another year. It was alsodetermined by the college department to stop foot ball play- ing by college students in Jowa, a resolution being adopted to that effect with but one dis- senting voice, that of President Schaeffer of the State university.
