IRRIGATION FARMING. The People of Devine Getting Ready to Put in Irrigation Plant. Prof. C. C.

Harris of Devine was in the city last night and stated to a San Antonio Express reporter that the people of Devine, always progressive and up-to-date, were preparing to put in an irrigation plant to be used in irrigation farming. A stock company has been organized with $5,000 capital stock, all paid up, and a charter for the same will be filed at once. The company will sink a well six inches in diameter at the bottom, and expect to strike a big flow of water at eight hundred feet, enough to irrigate fifty acres of land and supply Devine with water. The fifty acres will be planted in onions, cabbage, potatoes, Irish and sweet, and tomatoes, and if the dropping is a success other wells will be sunk and more land added to the irrigated territory. The first well will be drilled near enough to Devine to pipe the water to town and supply all the people with water for domestic purposes.

The drilling will begin about January 1st. --------------------------------A CALL TO COLORED CITIZENS. v.

It is as far from the tim eworn style of the ordinary comedy as can be conceived. It is certainly a brilliant creation, not dependent upon coarseness and vulgarity for forced laughs, but full of the richest of humor that brings the laugh spontaneously, and that is the kind of a laugh than sends the oudience away from the theater well satisfied. The comedy, Rich To has an intense dramatic interest and is a rare combination of romance pathos and comedy.

It is a vital and living play shown as in a series of vivid and life-like pictures. This will be the Christmas attraction. Matinee and night. Seat sale opens Monday, December 23. Prices 25c, 50c, 75c, and $1.00.

In Guadalajara, Drake passed under the name of James Eckhart, and was doing a thriving real estate business. He had the confidence of the people and was in a fair way to make back the money he had taken from others. In Ohio Drake has a wife and three children, who have since his departure been living with relatives. Mrs. Drake has all the time refused to believe that her husband took the money intending to steal it.

She says he made investments that proved disastrous and to avoid ruin appropriated money belonging to the insurance company. To make good this shortage he forged the notes. His exposure came so unexpectedly that he did not have time to arrange matters and the only thing left was to fly from his accusers. Mexican officials have treated us with unusual courtesy, during our stay in the said Sheriff Henzy last night. have always heard that they make trouble for officers who come in to take out prisoners, but they did not show it in this case.

Drake has always been a respected citizen of our town and I have known him for the past twelve years. Like many others he could not resist the temptation to speculate with other money in his charge and ms downfall is the result. evidence against him is strong and he will be prosecuted for both for- DINNER BUTTERMILKCAFE.
