Representative Hogg has had the
temerity to undertake to stop pool
selling in Washington, and to make
Washington moral city. Hogg is
an eye-Opener, whatever they may
say about Wetzel Democrat.
And what is better his bill has
passed both branches of Congress
and now only awaits the signature
of the President to become a law.
The people will endorse Mr.. Hogg,
in his attempt to correct the morals
of Washington by putting down
the gamblers, who infest the city.

Hon. d. HnunrlI.

Mason county has endorsed the
candidacy Of Hon. II. r. Howard,
for Governor, on the Democratic
ticket, and now it is the duty of all
delegates to stand solidly by the
resolutions and work for his noml-
nation. We believe that if our del
egates are true to him, he will be
the nominee for Governor. Among
all the candidates named in CON.
nectiOn with this position, none is
moro enthusiastically received by
the Democracy. The well known
executive ability of Mr.. Howard
peculiarly fits him for the Guberna-
torial chair; and while the Demo-
Gratis Of the State are honoring him
in Convention, by nomination, as
the standard-bearer of the Democ-
raey, they will also honor the State,
and Mason county will show her
appreciation of the honor by rolling
up the largest Democratic majority
for him ever given in her history.

 The famous race horses Bella Donna and Viola, imported by August Belmont for breeding purposes. arrived to-day by steam ship Spain in prime condition.

 The Chicago club will hardly win the pennant with Krock, Baldwin and Van Haltren. The latter is not reliable enough. Anson might do 1t by alternating Krock and Baldwin, but both being speed pitch ers they would probably not stand the strain.
 Its remarkable, the amount of fine work Anson, White and Jim O'Rourke are do, ing, considering the length of time they have been on the diamond. Temperate in their habits and love for their profession they have always been we'll up in batting and have played in nearly every game in which their clubs have participated.

Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by. as in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for S15o by Nj.

copp's Land Review.

A new land bill of great import
ance to persons who have heretofore
exhausted their rights under the home
stead and prevention laws has passed
the Senate and with important amend
ments has been adopted by the House
of Representatives and returned to the
Senate for concurrence in the amend
ments.
The bill as passed by the Senate
permits all persons who have filed un-
der presumption or homestead law,
but who for any reason have failed TO
acquire title to lands, to again file un-
der the homestead law and acquire
title to not more than one quarter
section of public land.
The first amedmcnt added by the
House of Representatives authorizes
registers and receivers to grant leaves
of absences to those who have made
entries and who "by reason of drought,
whole or partial destruction of crops.
sickness, or other unavoidable casual
ty," are unable to "secure Il support
for himself, herself, or those depend
ent upon them," such absence not to
exceed one year at any one time,
though the period of such absence
shall not be counted as residence upon
the land in making proof and perfect
ing title.
The second amendment provides
that persons who have made home
stead entries for less than one quarter
section may make additional entry for
land contiguous to the original home
stead not exceeding, with the land in
such original entry, 100 acres, or ifthe
entrymen elect they may relinquish
the original entries, and make new
ones the same as though they had
never made entries, except that no fees
or commissions shall be exacted from
the entryman for such additional or
new entries. The residence which has
been made upon the original entry
will count as residence upon the adj
ditional or new entry in making final
proof, and where satisfactory final
proof has already been made on the
original entry no proof on the addi-
tional or new entry will be required,
but patent may issue.
This will be glorious news to thous-
ands of persons anxious to acquire
homes but debarred from doing so I'M
der existing laws. There is little
doubt that tho bill will pass the SEN
ate as amended.

Right to the Use OF Water.

The Legal Adviser gives its readers
some information respecting water
rights. which has been source OF
great trouble and much litigation 1t
is general principle, says the writer,
that everv over OF land upon nat
ural stream of water has rightto use
the water for any reasonable purpose
not inconsistent with similar right
in the owners of the land above and
below. and opposite to him. lie may
take the water to supply his dwell
ing, to irrigate his land, or to quench
the thirst of his cattle; to use It for
manufacturing purposes, such as the
supplying of steam boilers, or the run
ming of water-wheels or others hydrau-
lie works, so long rs such use does
not sensibly and injuriously affect its
volume. But this Is a mere privilege
running with the land, not property
in the water itself.
Where the stream is small and does
nor supply water more than sufficient
to answer the wants of the different
proprietors living on the stream, none
of the proprietors can use the water
for either irrigation or manufacturing,
but for domestic purposes and water
ing stock, one proprietor will be justi-
fed in consuming all the water.
Twenty years use adverse to the
right of another will give the person
so using the stream the right to con-
tinue the use, regardless of the others
rights.
And as to the division of water,
every one who owns land situated upon
stream has the following rights:
1. To the natural flow of the stream.
2. That it shall continue to run in
Its accustomed channels.
3. That it shall flow upon his land
in its usual quantity, natural place and
usual hight.
4. That 1t shall flow off his land up
ON the land of his neighbor below, in
accustomed place and at its usual
level.
These rights he has as an incident
to the property in his land, and he
cannot be deprived of il by grant or
description.
If any enc shall make any change
in the natural flow of stream to the
material injury or any interference
shall prevent the stream-owner sitaua-
ted upon it, or by any form flowing as
it was wont to flow. he is responsible
for the damage he may occasion. These
rights are subject to the privilege of
each one To make a reasonable use of
the wafer upon his own land while it
is passing along the same. 1t matters
not what the source of the wa
ter may he, whether it be back water
or the flowagc of the same, or the wa
ter of another stream. Still. IA divis-
ion of stream may he made by any
one if il be returned to its natural
channel before it leaves his premises.

Wholesale Mall Robbery

Buffalo, Oct. 13.-Over a bushel of
partly destroyed letters addressed To
business firms in this city Were found
on the street yesterday morning rifled
of all their contents that could be
turned into money. 1t seems evident
that the letters were stolen by some
one connected with the Postoffice. One
New York draft of $3.50 was found in
the middle cf tie street torn in two.
Many letters we're scorched, showing
that the thief tried to burn them but
was frustrated by rain storm. John
Shields, night clerk, was the thief.
