Stretchy Religion.

An old couple, man and wife were along the wharyes Q day ol two ago, hunting for an up-shore boat, and the woman explained to a steamboat agent:
 "Its very stormy season, and we expect to be seasick, and we druiheI go on boat where. the captain is 8 religious man"
 "Well, that's all right" he replied We've got one very religious cap tain on our line, and his boat sails tonight'
 . "Can we go down and see him?"
 ."Oh, yes. Keep right down the street until you see the boat"
 The couple walked on and finally bearded the steamer. The capta in and all hands were busy with cargo but the old folks walked up to him and the woman said:
 "Gaptain, you have been recom- mended to us as religious man."
 "The -I hayer' he promptly growled
 They looked at each other with consternstion depicted in their faces and then the old man said:
 "Capting what church do you belong tor"
 "See he-ei" roared the official, Eff you've come to bleed me for some charity, or want me to sign petition, or expect this boat to carry lot of dead>heads up the lake, I won't stand it What do you wants

sons of sm II rain and excessi7e suf. face evaporation which occurs once perhapse in ten or twelve years. the the surface flow disappears for Q short :ime, but there has never been a season that an abundance of water could net be found a few feet below the surface-a heavy body of water percolating through the great gravel strata which underiies the entire soil surface of the valley and which car riesauch body of water that wells -cannot be sunk through it on ac- count of the flow. To be sure this body of water lies at varying dis
 tances from the surface, but the va riation is not great and the water strata is invariably found. There is an abundance of water, but the trou- ble has been that it is too far below the surface for grain crops and young trees. The point IS to secure
 the distribution of a portion of this water upon the surface and to do this e dam must touch bed rock at some convenient point where the water will not escape into the sands on the sides of the river channel.

 OEs MONIES, Is., Oct. 10-One |e,lnured and thirty-three precincts show a net republican loss of 1,055. and in 54 precincts Hayes wins by some 400 votes ahead of his ticket. Taking these fi.ures for a basis, it is estimated that Sherman's plurality will not be less than 10000 in the state; Reed, for judge, will probably run 400 behind his ticket, owing to the feeling in some quarters on the question of prohibition. There is no doubt but the legislature is strongly republican. The democra- tic state committee have closed their quarters and gone home. They concede that the state and legisla~ ture will be republican.

He has with him about the Indians tand the coal fields, apologies very sincerely for his threat, his avowed declara> ton, never to let up on Teller >and Wilcox till he had pitched the lat ter into the disreputable sink of official corruption and tumble the; Secretary of the Interior, es the walls of Jerico were tum bled, by tootfng his horn.

There never was a boy that didn't whalethe stuhing out of his adversaiy in the absence of the latter-mauI the very ground with him, yanked him into sm,thereens. Yet when the adversary wa present the mind of that same boy had un> Gergone very great change on the subject of extermlnation.

 and cites the case of submerged dam on the Sania Ana in Los Ange- 1es county, Cal where sufficient wa ter has been preserved to irrigate a considerable tract of country that formerly could not be- reached by water The Rio Salinas in times when water is very scarce has ha-
