A scheme TO Irrigate tho Valley and
Furnish Motive Power.


Furnish Motive Power.
Ell PAso, Tex, Oct 30-Word has been
received from Washington that the director
of the geological survey is Of the opinion that
the recently conceived plan Of constructing
an immense dam across the Rio Grande at or
near FL Paso is perfectly practicable, but he
thinks that the question Of conflicting water
rights must first be settled by the enactment
Of general law by congress.
He has decided TO establish station just
above Ell Paso to measure the annual flow OF
water and the percentage of future carried,
and hopes to have the station established by
Jan l. The chief uses Of the dam would be
to irrigate the valley for about fifty miles
and furnish motive power; to prevent de-
structiye floods below here, and to settle the
Mexican boundary question by keeping the
river in its proper channel
1t Is proposed to make the dam an inter
national affair. Maj. Ernest, of the corps OF
government engineers, stationed at Calves.

NEW YORK, Oct 30-Some little excite
ment was caused in political circles by the
published statement that the laws of 1887,
Chapter 2S9, relating to the legal holidays
and the closing OF public offices, would dis
qualify all who had registered after II o'clock
on Saturday afternoon. 1t was conceded by q
number of prominent lawyers, who were
seen by a United Press reporter, that the
various registration Offices were public offices
and thus the inspectors were public Office
holders for the time being. None of these
jurists however, would give a decided
opinion, and the question seems to have
thoroughly stirred up the lawyers of this

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish
1t by Force-A Famous Retreat.

The present agitation concerning the
relations between Canada and the United
States recalls the time when the annexG
tlon OF that country was proposed to b.
brought about by force Of arms The
project was entrusted to the brave
General Montgomery, assisted by the
famous patriots, Colonels Ethan Allen
and Seth Warner. While engaged in
this invasion Ethan Allen was taken
prisoner by the British and sent to Eng.
land, where he experienced very harsh
treatment.
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con.
Quoted his men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by
dangers. Once Montgomery sent them
home because their time was out, and
though they were willing to continue in
service, they were without sufficient
clothing, and none could be had in that
country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
home before he heard that Montgomery
had been killed, and the cause, as well as
the lives OF the men, were put in great
and at once started for Canada to assist
his efforts were of no avail, and it was
soon found necessary to take up the line
of retreat.
1t was the dead of winteI, and only
necessity sanctioned moving the troops.
The terror Of pursuit and the rigor of the
season furnished sufficient cause foi
alarm and haste. Colonel Warner re-
manned with the rear Of the army, and
aided them in many ways most effec-
tually as he was a man well posted in
caring for the sick and this knowledge
now came into excellent use.
He must keep the army in motion, not
day must be lost, and yet he was with
out any chest Of medicines. But he
understood the medicinal use OF roots and
herbs, and of proper care at critical
times, and with these allies, he made an
effectual fight against disease among his
men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and
the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner
but few vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives Of hun
dreds of men in this way, and he did
noble work, but it remained for his
namesake, II. H. Warner, head of
Warmers Safe Cure establishment, TO
give the same kind Of remedies then used
to the people Of to- day, in Warmers
Log Cabin Remedies" These remedies
have been adopted after thorough trial
and Investigation, and they are remedies
of established reputation. Being wholly
vegetable, they can be used without any
fear as to the results.
Among the new remedies is q Sarsa-
parilla for the blood, Hops and Buchu

Turpentine in Diphtheria.

Recent publications again draw atten
tion to the alleged value of turpentine in
the treatment of diphtheria. In Ger.
many it ls claimed to be almost specific,
and DIR. Roese, in the Therapeutische
Monatschefte, asserts that he has used it
for the last four years with loss of only
five cases out of sixty. Of these two
were infants under l, moribund when
first seen, and died few hours later ;
the other three were also unusually sew
ere, two dying in thirty.six hours and
the remaining fatal cases surviving for
five days. The Medical Record says
Those who are inclined to be skeptiGal
with regard to the utility of medicines
in the severer forms of diphtheria land
the profession contains many such) will
scarcely accept the authors figures with
out challenge. On the other hand, for
the very reason that violent diphtheria
ordinarily justifics 80 gloomy prognosis,
we are ever ready to employ any means
at our command which may possibly re-
duce its frightful morality. There is no
reason, therefore, why the turpentintine
treatment of this disease should not be
given fair trial"
