These are now matters Of history about

Having alluded to the fact that he has
been all his life Il private citizen dcvoting
his best energies to tho good of tho na-

official service except for a brief period
for u special purpose, md only when tho
occasion seemed to require Of him u sac

Having now borne faithfully my full

ANAGR1oULTURED CREED.

The agriculturists Of Canada met in
convention not long ego, and adopted
for themselves the following creed:
We believe that the soil lives to eat,
a. we'll as tho owner, and ought then to
be we'll manured.
We believe in going to the bottom Of
things, aud therefore deep plowing snd
enough of it. All the better II IL be .
subsoit plough.
We believe in large crops which leave
the land better than they found IL,
making both tho farm and farmer rich
at once.
We believe that every farm should
own good farmer.
We believe that the fertilizing Of any
soil Is spirit ofinduStry, enterprise and
intelligence; without these, lime, gypsum
and guano would be Of little use.
We believe In good fences, good farm.
houses, good orchards, and good children
enough to gather the fruit.

the man. He seized toad and soon ate

and he stopped to consider, while the
owner of the COW began to fear that he
had lost her. There was pause, when
a happy thought hit the toad eater.
:" III tell you what " do,' said the
toad eater, "if you will eat the other
toad III let you up on your offer"
"Done," said the owner, and he gobbed
the second toad in a jitty. They were
both somewhat the worse for their

which came out ahead. If any one can

FIFTH EDITION
THE WATER RIGHTS DECISION.
ITS RESULTS ARE SUCH THAT THE CITY
WILL NOT ACCEPT 1T.

ITS RESULTS ARE SUCH THAT THE CITY
WILL NOT ACCEPT 1T.
As announced in yesterdays GA
zETTE, the Board Of Water Regulate s,
on Saturday evening, agreed to grant
the request Of he city for permission
to measure the water to be used for
propelling the new turbine water wheel
after, instead of before, it passes into
the wheel.
The mill owners protested against
this decision, and their subsequent ac-
ton is such til b the city will not avail
itself of the privilege thus granted by
the regulators.
The mill owners finding the regula-
tors against them have decided to fall
back upon what are known as the
'waste rights" OF the old water agree.
ment of 1882, which, in referring to
the water rights then parcelled and
disposed OF, says 1.-THE surplus water
after sufficiently supplying the said
seven mills on said race, being and is
to be the property of the said Thomas
Shipley aud Samuel Candy, their heirs
anu assigns forever. NJ
And that all OF the owners and occu-
piers Of the said seve1 mills shall at all
times hereafter be careful ana not vase
any of the water hereafter coming down
the said race, and use what belongs to
their respective mills in the most frugal
manner,so that the said Thomas Shipley
and Samuel Canby,their heirs or assigns,
may at all times hereafter have the ban
eft of all the waste and surplus water
Al. a
These seven mills represented the sew
| EN- wat rights, two of which are now
owned by the city. The "waste right"
have not been used for years, aud by
agree ment were subso quehtly divided
among the respective owners Of the
water rights.
The MIL owners, however, since thc
decision Of Saturday night, have de-
cided TO fall back upon the old agree
ment Of 1882, (Which by its provisions
cannot be disregarded except by the
unanimous consent of all the water
right owners) aud TO cause the city to
respect the old SLipley and Candy
"waste tights" In using water for the
turbine wheel.
This decision, Chief Engineer Mcln-
tire says, viii deprive the city of about
one-half the quantity Of water that now
flows down the race aud into the city
mills.
This flow now amounts TO about
l7,233,920 gallons per day, but il the
"waste rights" are enforced it will
amount to only 8,409,24S gallons pei
day-a quantity entirely inadequate to
operate the turbine wheel or provide q
proper water supply.
| 1t is therefore probable the city will
no! avail itself of the privilege grained
by the Water Regulators, but will devils,
some other plan to put the turbine pump
in successful operation. -s.,

Three able st. Louis lawyers,

studies the question Of Indian rights
in the Indian Territory, and they
agree in an opinion that all the land
is open to presumption. They hold
that, as the Territory was acquired
by purchase from France, and not
from the Indian tribes, the title to
the part now occupied by the In
dams has never been relinquished
by the Government. They get over
the treaty point by maintaining that
the President has no power to dis
pose of public land IN that manner.
