On Monday, United States Senator Bowen offered an amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill, which was carried providing for an appropriation of S25O,O00, for the purpose of determin. ing practicable reservoir sites, under the supervision of the Geological Sur. vey, for irrigating and improving arid . lands in the country. In speech on this subject he said that all the availa- ble fertile land was now overcrowded. and it was time that attention should be diverted to improving the arid lands. He said that in all the states and territories of the west vast tracts ot arid and barren lands existed What be meant by arid land was that land which was not productive with out irrigation, and nearly one-half the entire globe was of this kind of land. For the purpose of irrgating these lands he proposed that all available water not already used in irrigating purposes be conveyed to great reser- Voirs situated in mountain reglons and distributed from them over the arid lands. This was, he said, the most iandabie plan. and it was now time to enter upon it. for it would increase vastly production for oar growing population, and this storing up of waser would benefit, by preventing to great extent, the hoods that now occur.

AcREAT PROJECT.
Proposed System of Railways
 From San Diego Southward.

 From San Diego southward.
 San Diego, July 26.- By the Asso- ciated Press. Louis Huller, the con- cessioner through whom the Internat- ioual Company obtained its lands from Mexico, and who has just obtained a concession of several million acres in northern Mexico, arrived to-day. He says that within the next thirty days the construction of a system of rail roads reaching from San Diego down the peninsula to San Quir.tin and across the Mexican mainland to Fl Paso will be begun. The Mexican Government has'approved the survey.
 'FThe construction work will begin at Ensenada," he said, land the first work done will be between that point and Tia Juana, on the border. Ac- cording to the arrangements which have already been concluded with the Santa Fe people, the California South ern will be extenGed from National City to Tia Juana to meet us there. At the same time we shall build line to Yuma, and then push south from Ensenada and build a line across the mainland to connect with the. Mexican Central Railway at Fl Paso.
 The rails for the above roads are arriving at San Diego and Ensenada, and the engineers are already at work. The road will probably reach Yuma by next spring, at which time it is believed that the ''short cut" from Holbrook, on the A. & P, to this place, will be under construction.

Sore Eyes

Tte eyes are always in sympathy with the body, and afford an excellent index of it's condition. When the eyes become weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it is ah evidence that the system has become disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.

 Mydaughter, ten years old, was aff1ict- ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two years she never saw light of any kind. Physicians of the highest stahtling exerted their skill, but with no permanent success.

Strange Phenomena In Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, May ia few nights ago
the inhabitants Of Ninety-Six and those OF
the surrounding country for several miles
We're aroused from sleep. 1t was about 10
o'clock that loud roaring was heard,
which the people believed was an
approaching tornado. A short while
later the noise became more distinct,
and the air vas filed with a moving
black mass that fell in showers OF
bugs, covering tho ground in many places
an inch thick. Large pino fires werc
built, In which many of tho bugs were
destroyed. Every night since at exactly
the same hour there is similar occurrence.
The people now prepare for them by build
ing fires and putting vessels Of water to
destroy them as they fall. Prof. B.
Vondahulen, u scientist OF note, has visited
the place so as to witness the phenomena.
He has examined tho bug. and as
serts that he has never found 1t before in
this country. 1t is OF species that is pc
culiar to the southern part OF Africa, and
a few years ago rained down upon the peo-
plc OF that section every night for six
months in the year. The bug is about the
size Of the June bug, black and rough, with
long, pointed gauzy wings. 1t is harmless,
and dies soon after touching the ground.

And Went TO the Pen for Blgnmy, but IL
Suspected OF Numbering the First.
EASTMAN, Ga, May ls.-Somcthing over
year ago Dan Davis came from South
Carolina, the neighborhood OF Perry's
Mills in Tatnall, near the line OF Mont
goncry County. He was a cooper, and
got situation in the turpentine works Of
Grace a. Coleman. He became acquainted
with Miss Mollie Grace, his employ
er's daughter aud married her. II
leaked out that Davis had another
wife in Carolina. He went back 10
Carolina TO receive a legacy that he said
was due him. When he returned he was
accompanied by woman whom he kept hid
out in tho woods. One day Henry Page,
who was from Carolina, and knew Davis
there, came upon them and recognized the
woman as Davis first wife. Davis and his
wife ran of into the woods, and that was
the last seen Of the woman. Davis was
convicted Of bigamy and sent to the peni-
tentiary The neighborhooi has just been
thrown into excitement by the discovery,
by Sam Bland, OF human bones in pile
OF ashes In the woods not far from
where Davis and his wife were seen by
Page. They wero badly burned, but easily
recognizable as human bones. An inves-
tigation revealed breast-pin, some hair
pins and small pieco Of a woman's dress
that had escaped destruction by tae fire
that consumed the body. The neighbors
are greatly excited over the matter, and
there seems TO be little doubt that Davis
murdered his wife and burned her body in
the woods. There is strong current of
sentiment in favor OF having Davis
brought back to be tried for the murder.

Two Young Men Engage In Deadly Fight
In Sight of n sunday-schooi.
BLOOMINGTON, ISD., May 2O-Word has
just been received here from Washington
Township OF a sensational shooting scrape
that will probably result in the death Of
Henry Carr. From particulars at hand IL
seems that Henry Carr and Vincent Fart,
two young men much respected and OF
good families. had quarreled some time
before, and while at Sunday school this
afternoon, they got into dispute again,
this time over young lady. They each
started home with their girls in a buggy,
when angry words began to pass. Each
jumped from his buggy and with thirty
ight-caliber rrevolyers began firing at each
other, until five shots had been exchanged
from each side. The loads exhausted,
Farr caught hold Of Carr and began
beating him over the head with his re-
volver until Carr dropped to the ground.
Until then II was not known that any shot
had taken effect, but examination proved
that one OF tho shots had entered the
intestines, and is almost certain TO prove
fatal. This information produced great
excitement among the Sunday-school that
was standin by and mutely witnessed the
tragedy. As soon as Carr fell TO tho
ground Farr got in his buggy and rode of,
not knowing OF the gun-shot wound. Ow-
ing TO the high standing Of all the parties
the excitement is intense. Farr's father is
candidate for the nomination OF sheriff
on the Republican ticket. Deputy Sheriff
Payne left at 9o'clock tonight TO arrest
Farr II can not be ascertained who fired
the first shot, as reports are very conflict
