ply which is now barely able to sup
ply the demands for an area of 1000
or 5000 acres, would, if there were
no waste, be ample for an area of
10000 to $4,000 acres, or more. The
water supply, however, is being
constantly augmented by means of
increasing the number of artesian
wells near the heads of the canals,
as we'll as by cementing the canals
to prevent loss from leakage, and it
is possible that in the near future
supply far in excess of all possible
requirements may be obtained by
the use of reservoirs in which shall
be the superintendent water of win
ter and spring. Should this how
ever never be accomplished it is a
self evident proposition that there
must be greater economy practiced
in the use of water, or else a large
proportion of the total irrigated
area of Riverside-some $4,000 acres
must remain unimproved and COM
paratively valueless. From the
standpoint of the water users at any
rate, the problem of more econom-
ical system of irrigation is an import
ant one, as the owner of a ten-acre
orchard who now expends say one
hundred dollars a year for water,
one half of which he actually uses,
would find himself fifty dollars
richer at the end of the year under
some system which would furnish
his trees with just as much water as
they required and no more. Another
waste Incidental to the present
system of irrigation here is to be
found in the fact that the waste
water carries off an appreciated
amount of the manure which the best
horticulturists are using more and
more, and which as everywhere else
costs money.

The Sultan Denies Requests of the Insur-
gents, and Trouble Again Ensues.
Special to the indianapolis journal
LONDON, Aug. A.-The renewed disturb
ances reported from Crete yesterday again
cause serious concern among European
statesmen. 1t is evident that the inactivi-
ty OF the insurgents ON the island for the
past few days was not due so much to the
announcement of the attitude of the pow
ers toward them as to the hope OF conces-
siOns on the part of the Sultan. The insur-
gents recently appointed seven commits
siOners to formulate their demands and
submit them to the Sultan, which
was done some days ago. These
demands were the reduction Of tax
alton. financial autonomy, reconstruction
of the law courts, and the distribution of
public Offices to Christians and MOhamme-
dams in proportion to the population of
each. Thursday the news reached Crete
that every one of these demands had been
rejected by the Porte, and yesterday the
island was again in blaze Of lnsurrection.
Coupled with the Srltan's rejection of the
if the islanders would only remain peaceable
in the place of Chakir Pasha, whose ap-
pointment is only provisional. This prom
ise, however, failed of it's purpose, as the
Cretans do not credit its sincerity, and
they at once resumed their arms, deter
mined to upset the rule of the hated Turk
on the island. Scattered reports OF fighting
between the insurgents and Turkish troops
reach here this morning, and the outlook Is
anything but peaceful.

A COURSE OF HANGING.
Policeman Daly's Novel and Rigorous Treat
ment for the Cure of Spinal Affection.

Boston, Aug. 24.-Police Lieutenant B.
DAILY, of this city. is undergoing rigorous
treatment to get cured of spinal trouble,
caused by fall from horse car In 1887. 1t
is nothing more or less than a systematic
course of hanging. He is suspended by the
neck until he is almost unconscious, this
process being the only way in which the
spinal cord can be properly strengthened.
The machine is shaped very much like
gallows. 1t consists of an iron rod, with
eyes in the center and hooks at each end, in
which are loops that pass down under each
shoulder to take the strain Off the patients
neck. Along the horizontal bar is series
of notches, from which hang the supports
for the head and chin. Lieutenant Daly's
head is placed in the support, and he is
then swung from the floor. He said that
the experience is anything but pleasant.
but as q cure is being effected he keeps at
1T. He is generally strung uD about two
and a half minutes. When released he can
not stand. and it is fully five minutes be-
fore he RECEIVERS from the effects of the
hanging. He has control of his lower limbs
now, while less than six months ago he
staggered like q drunken man. He can now
sleep. every night without injections of
morphine, as before.

REFUSE TO MUZZLE THE DOGS.


A Clash of Authority Between the London
County Council and the Government.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The London County
Council are showing their teeth to the
imperial government in way that portends
trouble. Having declined to undertake the
enforcement of the dog-muzzling act for the
reason that they have no control over the
London police. who must do the tn
work, they are now equally de-
termined to resist the attempt
of the Privy Council to have the work done
at their expense. Against this proposition
they raise the cry of taxation without
representation" and altogether the fight is
o reminder of that in the American colo
nies. which ended so disastronsly for
England, something over a hundred
years ago. London probably won't
go the length of declaration of
Independence. but local feeling runs
very high, and the problems raised will not
prove easy for the government to solve.
The County Council, at its meeting yester-
day, passed resolutions refusing to grant
funds for the enforcement of the act The
original question of the wisdom of muzzling
the dogs, which was recently quite an ex-
citing topic of discussion throughout Eng
land, is now entirely lost sight of in the
clash of authority which has grown out of
it, The quarrel is being watched with keen
interest

TRIED TO KIDNAP HIS CHILD.
Franklin Highly Excited Over Domestic Fight
in an Eminently Respectable Family.
special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FRANKLIN, Ind. Aug. 24.-This city was
thrown into great state of excitement
tonight, about $50 o'clock, by the report
that Prof. j. d. Bruner, of the college, had
kidnapped his eighteen months s-oldl child,
and was endeavoring to get out of the city
on the first train with it. Professor Bruner
and his wife agreed to disagree some
time since. The Professor left home
short time ago and went
to Kentucky to visit his parents. He re-
turned to Franklin few days since. and
this evening, about o'clock, called at the
home of his wife's parents, Professor and
Mrs. Brown. and got permission to take the
child out riding in its cab. His failure to
return in a reasonable length of time
aroused the suspicious Of the mother
and grandparents. An investigation
was at once instituted, and the fact soon
became known all over the city that the
Professor had the child closeted in an up
stairs room at the Merchants Hotel. The
mother and grandparents, accompanied by
the city marshal and an attorney, Hon. a.
b. Hunter. repaired to the hotel
and from the proprietors there
of demanded possession of the child. which
they obtained after time. Mrs. Bruner is
the daughter of Professor Brown, of the
college, and no lady stands higher than she
in social circles A lawsuit will follow.

COLUMBUS. O.. Aug 24-Dr Probst. the State
Board of Health, has just returned from the terri
bly, scouraged village OF Moscow, place OF 600

mile. There is plenty of pure air and it ought
TO be a healthful place, but the sanitary eondt-
tons are awful. The hog-pens and outhouses
have not been cleaned for years. and the stencil
is terrible in many parts of the town. Fathers
and mothers are flying with their children for
their lives. and in this way the disease will un-
doubtedly be carried to other PLACES. The three

the most malignant ever known in that vicinity.
1t Is accompanied by rapid pulse, high fever and
great exhaustion. Death frequently results from

Its Defects Made Apparent in the Maybrick
Case-COurt of Appeal Demanded.
Special to the Indianapolis Journm
LONDON, Aug. A.-The result of the May
brick case has been to strengthen and
make irresistible the demand for court of
appeal in criminal cases, and leading men,
bers of Parliament of all shades of political
opinion, state that they will gladly put
aside party strife and unite in the creation
of an institution the absence of which from
the English legal system is, they say, a
gross scandal. Where the most trivial in
terests of property arc concerned, verd let
OF judgment may be subject to
view, and the merits of the case
may be considered afresh, but where
a human life is at stake the verdict, how
ever mistaken, cannot be set aside by any
process known to English law. After
person has once been pronounced guilty by
Jury of twelve fallible men the most COM
pIete proof of entire innocence cannot re-
move the stain that has been affixed in
error. All that the prerogative of the
crown can accomplish is to grant a free
pardon for an uncOmmitted crime. Such o
court of criminal appeal would provide q
substantial safeguard and make. it more
difficult than it is now to send an innocent
man or woman to a shameful death or a
dishOnorable grave.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,. Aug. 24.-Hon. Jona-
than H. ROwell, of Bloomington, member of
Congress for this district. will depart on
Monday afternoon for New Orleans, where
he will at once enter upon the campaign in
the Third congressional district of Louisi-
ana under the directions of the national
Republican committee. He will arrive on
Wednesday, and will make five or six
speeches in different parts of the district,
beginning on the day of his arrival. Hon.
Julius e.. Burrows, of Michigan, and proba-
bly, one OF two other members of Congress
from the North will also take part in the
campaign. These gentlemen will remain
in Louisiana until after the election, which
occurs one week from Tuesday, and will
take observations on the working of polit-
ical affairs in that section. The Third dis
trict lies south of New Orleans, extending
to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is composed of
twelve parishes, and is the great sugar dis
trict Of the United States. The reliance of
the Republicans is on the vote and influ-
ence of the sugar planters. that element be-
ing disposed to sympathIze with the Re-
publican party. The district is largely Re-
publican on a full and fair vote, and 1T is
the opinion of the national committee, Mr.
Rowell says, that by proper appeal to the
business interests of the district the Re-
publican candidate for Congress, Mr.. Minor,
will be elected.

iriumphal Trip of the Emperor from Stras-
burg to Metz-Loyalty Of the People.
Copyright 1884, by the New York Associated Press.
BERLIN, Aug. 24.-Compared with the
visit of the late Emperor William to Alsace-
Lorraine in 1887, the present Emperors visit
was phenomenal success. After making
every allowance for official zeal in stirring
the provinces to enthusiasm. the Emperor's
reception indicates the remarkable progress
made in Germanizing the provinces during
the past decade. The journey from Stras-
burg to Nets was trlumphal progress. All
the intermediate stations were gaily deco
rated and crowded with people who cheered
the Emperor, whose tact in the difficult
and tempting circumstances was remark
able. He made brief replies to the various
toaSts etc., but did not say word at which
the French could be offended. The only in
cldent that possibly can cause anxiety
arose from the passport question. The
president of the Strasburg Chamber of
Commerce, on beng presented to the En-
peror, petitioned him to abolish the pres
ent rigorous regulations. The Emperor
briefly expressed regret at his inability to
do anything IN this direction.
BY order of Prince Won Hohenlohe an
imperial decree was published in Strasburg
Tonight expressing the thanks of their
Malesties for the brilliant receptions ac-
corded them, which. the decree says,
strengthened the conviction that these
originally German territories, inhabited as
they are by an honest, intelligent pOpula-
ton, will become still more closely at
tached to the Fatherland.
AT gala dinner in Muenster Castle to-
night, the Emperor, replying to toast to
his health, dwelt upon the energy and en-
durance of the Westphalians whose princi-
pies. he said he imbibed in his youth, his
tutor having been q Westphalian. West
phalia has always shown itself loyal to the
Prussian House. He hoped that the West
phahan sword, which had always kept it's
give evidence of its keenness if it should
again be necessary to unsheath it in de-
fense of the newly united Fatherland. He
drank Prosperity to Westphalia."
