The fish have gone to thu

Fishermen are using powder in
place OF the hook. The net at the
bridge has been unlawfully used
for years, and the fish moved off
in the night by the wagon load.

to a ball. The law is so slow,

AN iRRir ALTON SCHEME
What Might be Done But
tSn't

The high stage of water in the
Carson This season is proving
more of detriment to the farmer
than drouth.
| To get lid Of this waste water
is now the problem. 1t is pro-
posed to build a ditch from near
Woodford's Canyon road by way
Of Genoa and Sheridan to this city.
The ditch would be 81 miles long
and cost about 81, 200 a mile.
It would be 10 feet wide at the
bottom, Is feet at the top and
about 5 feet deep.
The grade would bring the
water to level with the caves of
Capitol and irrigate ranches all
along the line.
The farmers to be benefited by
the ditch are willing to contribute
to its cost and agree to pay so
much a year for a perpetual
water right.
If enough could be supplied to
pay $4,000 year this would give
10 per cent. on the investment
and if private capital could not be
induced to handle it, the counties
of Douglass and Ormsby ought to
bond the scheme. 1t would place
thousands of acres under cultiva-
ton which are now nothing but
and increase the
taxable property of both counties. |
A reservoir could be be built at !
the head waters of the ditch that |
would store all the water necess-
airy.

CHICAGO, July 26.-The day in wheat
was lively one. The range OF prices
was not so great as yesterday, but the
situation was none the less strong and
the market broad. There was still a
short interest in the market this morn
ing, and few of the leading bulls, well
followed by the crowd, went after
them. There were no surprising deyel-
opments. and while shorts were getting
under cover great many longs who
bought furiously yesterday were quietly
unloading at the fancy prices. Con-
spicuous among the early buyers were
Logan & Co.. Baker & Co. and Roche.
They were after wheat and after short
sellers. They got pile of wheat from
Bloom and many others who took out
big profits since yesterday morning.
Later in the day Comstock and Clifford
and many others sold out good lines
and caused temporary reaction in
prices. Receipts here were 1874 cars.

The Way Some ofthe Dances Have

The Way Some ofthe Dances Have
Originated.
National Review.
The gavotte and bourree can be
varlously assigned to Spain and France
for their origin; but the jig-homely
appellation can be clearly traced to a
most respectable antiquity. In the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the
name was variouSly written gigue. giga
and geig, and signified simply 1.-THE fid-
die dance" from the German geige, "a
VIOLIN"
We hear of these gigues, or fiddle
Dances" as early as the days of the
wandering MINISTRIES, the popularity of
them being an entire license of step, so
that the most untallented performer
could join in. They became fashionable
among the upper classes at the Wat
teau feteS of Louis XV.'s time, but
were naturally danced with consider
BILE more elegance than their primitive
form required. They still retained,
however, their miscellaneous character,
and, far from any symmetry of motion
being demanded on the gigue was not
correctly executed unless several
varieties of step were represented by
the dancer. 1t was,in fact. medley"
We can scarcely overestimate the infu.
ence of Lully. the chef d'orchestra of
Louis XIV, on the art of dancing.
His band. which was known as ''twenty-
four violins," was required to furnish
all the music for the fetes and balls of
the brilliant court to which it was at
tached. The gavott and bourree has
been ascribed to him, but probably
without reason. The cotillon, however,
has more legitimate claim to such q
paternity, and most likely was, at least.
