STILL ALIVE.
Young Wagner May Recover---A
Police Captains Stupidity.

POt1ce Captains stupidity.
Charles Wagner, the young man who
attempted suicide at Central park FIJI
day night by shooting himself through
the head with 22-caliber revolver, is
still alive at the city hall, but it is un-
certain as to whether he can recover.
He was doubtless led to the act by
dependency, caused by failure to OBJ
tain employment.
There is one feature of the case that
does not reflect credit upon the police
department. 1t appears that Z. *.
Humphrey. a park policeman, heard
the shot fired, and found Wagner in
an unconscious condition. He called
Harvey Burke, another park police
man, and then started to look up a pa
trolman. His search was not rewarded.
but he kept on down Hennepin avenue
until he reached the city hall. Here
there were plenty of police of.
ficials taking 1t easy. He informed
Capt. Harvey that man had shot HIM
self at Central park, and asked that a
patrol wagon should he sent to convey
him to place where he could get med
ical treatment. The police functionary,
however, refused to take the word of a
park policeman, but summoned Patrol
man Zelusky from his beat and re-
quired him to walk to the park,
distance of about two miles, and
investigate the case. The patrolman
did so, and after awhile reported that
the wagon was needed. After Wagner
had been lying on the ground over
three hours, the wagon came lum-
bering along and carried him
to DR.. Ames' office, where his wound
was atte nded to, and subsequently con-
veyed him to the city hospital.
Capt. Harvey'S conduct will be re-
ported to the police commission.

even then the time was very good. The
boat races were not rowed, as the
roughness of the water would not per
nit, but it was splendid for saiHng
purposes, and many parties adventured
safely across the lake.
A number of parties made successful
fishing excursions about the lake, and
Oh their return received many congratu-
lations. The tug of war match
was composed of men from the
various mills, and more muscle
than science was represented.
The walters at the hotel can content
themselves with the fact that the mil
lers only picnic once year. They had
to keep on lively move during the
dinner hours.
Fred PillsburY was flying about like a

joy an immense time.
Taking everything into consideration
it was the most successful picnic that
ever was given by the association.

A NEWSPAPER ROW.
Trouble Between the Partners Of
the Weekly Budstikken.

Trouble Between the Partners Of
the Weekly Budstikken.
The preliminary papers were filed
yesterday in an action begun by John
E. Gjedde against Gudman F. johnson.
The plaintiff and defendant in this ac-
ton are partners in business under the
firm name of johnson & Gjedde, and are
the owners and publishers of the Bud
stikken, a weekly paper published in
the Norwegian language. The plaintiff,
Gjedde, states in his pleadings that in
1875 he entered into partnership with
the understanding that each of them
was to put an equal amount of money
into the business and to divide
equally the profits. but claims
that in April, 1888, the defendant took
exclusive possession of the books and
accounts, and has ever since absolutely
refused to allow the plaintiff to have
access to them, to determine what was
his share in the profits of the business.
He also states that the paper
is in a fourishing condition
and is worth about $4,000.
and that he believes the defendant is
trying TO injure the reputation of the
paper and prevent its publication. He
therefore asks that an Injunction be is
sued restraining the defendant
from interfering with the pub
fishing of the paper; that
the partnership now existing be dis
solved, and that receiver be appointed
to take charge of the property and dis
pose of the same. and that an account
ing be had and the business settled up.

She laughed, and blushed, and bit her

But feeling the reverse.

For nothing!'' Here took kiss.
Quick as the act, my tingling cheek
Confessed its punishment. She rose,
And murmured, "Kisses call for blows"

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
The Irish-Americans Rung in a
ssAurn 1nr,,-Irate HiharnianS


"Dummy''-Irate Hibernians.
There was an amusing feature in con-
nection with the contest between the
Hibernian rifles and the Irish
American club, for prize banner at
the Sisters Hospital fair, which
closed Thursday night. There is
considerable rivalry, between the
organizations, and the Hibernians came
to the front with their cash ready for
the fray. The Irisli-Americans held
back, however, and limited significantly
that they were waiting for the blind
voting. When the last evening
of the fair arrived "a, prominent
lope. which looked as though it might
contain thousand or two, to Joe Man
nix, the Pioneer Press reporter, with
whispered inlunction: Here's our
pile; put it in for us at the last moment
and don't let the Hibernians catch on"
The accommodating Joseph agreed
to do as requested, and for
an hour or more walked about
the hall cOnspicuously gripping the
coat pocket in which was deposited the
precious envelope. Either the import
ance of the trust imposed Influenced
Mr.. ManniX to let it be known, OF else
the lrist-Americans purposely cir
culated the report. At any
rate. the Hibernians discovered
the plot, and the way they put up their
money was caution. AZ last the time
arrived for the closing of the polls, and
Mannix dropped the envelope dramat-
ically into the box. The crowd waited
breathlessly to hear the result. The
announcement came:

This extreme southwesterEYs section of the territory of the United States now numbers about ninety thousand souls, spread over an area of ll3,6l6 square miles having doubled it's popu- lation within the last nine years. It is now traversed by l,050 miles rail way, of which 77J are parts of the two continental trunk lines that cross the Territory, the rest being branch lines of those two roads connecting them on the one hand with Prescott and on the other with Phoenix. Here in the east, Arizona is regarded as~ chiefly waste region-and that its chief resourc $ are subterranean. In simple fact, there are officially reported to be 2,OOO,- 900 acres of arable and most fertile land ir the valleys of the Colorado Salt and Gila rivers easily irrigable, while elsewhere in the territory equally large tracts are to be found that only need the vivifying effects of water to be made fruitful in the highest degree, and, from beneath which the requisite water may and will be cheaply brought in due season.-New York Financial and Mining Record.

Irrigation Wonders

B The most beautiful as well as the most productive portions of the globe, are the countries which resort to irri gation te produce crops. The Japps valley of Palistine, the most ancient as well as the grandest spot on ca, tn, ha gone steadily on its way undisturb- ed; unharmed by seasons of drougths, for upwards of four thousands years and strange to relate, the lands are still as productive as when primitive man first broke the soil with his rude implements of agriculture: The waters which give life to the growth of vege- tation also acts as a fertilizer and makes it impossible tn exhaust the properties of the soil.-Ex.

The Florence Canal Company is now prepared to sell water rights to those who have taken up land along it's mean derings, and it is proposed to constuct the unbuilt portions first to the lands covered by water rights. The practice of selling water rights before the water reaches the land to be irrigatsd'prevails generally in Arizona and in the Salt river valley they are often sold. so soon as the canal company is organized and befsns~ ths ditch is built. The terms of the waterrights are not unreason- ably high; on the. contrary they are far below the prevailing rates in Salt R,ver Valley, and while few land claimants may experience some dlih- culty in meeting the first payment, the prospective value of their land whan cultivated ought to be sufficient incentive to. o.thema to exercise their best efforts to meet the requirements of the present time. The Canal Go. is, in 8 position.to supply the wants of all who require. water, anait now reasonably expects those who will receive benefits from the. construction of the canal to promptly secure the rights and privl- leges that are essential to the reclama, tion of the lands filed upon and with out which no. title from the United States can be procured. The induce ment held out Sou the immediate pur- chase of water rights is the certainty of a material advance ia the prics after the present month, and we are amply assured that this advance will surely be made. It therefore behsoves every land claimant to make immediate provision for the water necessary to the cultivation of his land.-Enter- prise.

A AReprieve for the Condemned.

WIetched men and women long condemn ed to suffer the turtures of dyspepsia, are filled with new hope after a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This budding hope blossoms into, the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia of which chroaic in digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneGcent Fof stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful elo- quence in those who, benefited by 1t, speak voluntarily in its behalf. It requires a grahhic pen to describe the tormsnts oi dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the BitteSr these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility malarial levers and rhematism are relieved by it.
