Dispersed by Police.

LISBON. Special.-An enormous crowd as.
sembled to-day in the Plaza Dom Pedro.
and republican orators endeavored to
harangue various groups, but the police
and cavalry charged the mass, which was
dispersed after some fighting. Twenty
eight persons were arrested It is month
to-day since the English ultimatum was
and since Portugal immediately accented it.
The demonstration planned was intended
as celebration of the desperate objection
to it. The shops are partially closed. and
the streets patrolled by cavalry. Agitation,
smothered TOR the moment, is smoldering.

NORTH DAKOTA SAVED.

The Ubiquitous Lot terry Bill 10 Indefl-
nitely Postponed by its Friends in
tho House.
B1sMARcK, Special Telegram
The lottery scheme suddenly eliminated
to-day. Leading friends of the bill agreed
during the forenoon that they would kill it
themselves. At the afternoon session
George Walsh of Grand Forks. to the
great surprise of the minority, the
audience and many OF the supporters
of the bill. moved that it be
indefinitely postponed and the senate so ad-
vised. E. A. Williams advocated the
adoption of the resolution. It was unani-
zrously adopted and the bill indefinitely
postponed. This unexpected movement
can be attributed to the inabilsty of the
friends of the scheme to get two-thisds
of the house, and the folly of pass
ing it without two-thirds. The indigna-
ton meetings, protests and newspaper at
tacks contributed to defeat the bill. 1t is
true, however, that the claim of the lottery
advocates did not exceed forty out of the
necessary fOrty-two, and the vote in the
house on prelim mary motions did not
show more than thirty-seven favora-

the following. which was adopted with one

ion of Commissioner Stockslager in the
case ofFrank p. Olney against the Hastings

quarter of section Is, township 12O range
43 of the Benson, Mimi, land district The
land was enteredl for settlement by man
named Olney, before the land had been sur
veyed, but not until after the company had
filed its map of definite location. Secretary
Noble rules that lands which were. within
the tn! limits Of the grant and had not been
time of filing such map, could not be ex-
cepted from the grant, and SO the company
gets the lands. Although thele are few
acres in Minnesota that come under this
ruling, it is considered an important one
Commissioner Stockslager held that such
lands came under an act of 1876 and re-
verified to the settler. Secretary Noble SAYS
in so many words that the act ct 1876 has
nothing to do .with,the case.

for the purpose OF securing this tract were
in motion. and teams of lumber were at

but it was plainly evident that the local
town site boomers had secured an impor-

proximity to the lands. It was grand sight

bearing great loads of humber dashing on a

Water Monopoly in the Far
West

The laws of the Western States and
Territories everywhere recognize and
protect the rights OF the first or prior
appropriate Of water. If the first
settler on the banks of stream draws
off, in his ditch, one-haif or tue whole
of the customary flow to irrigs'e his
farm. He has the right TO take this
one half or the whole flow forever, SO
the entire exclusion Of any subsequent
settler, But the same rule applies to
rivers Of large size. As the quick
witted Westerner stands by the side Of
one OF the great rivers and looks over
acres OF desert land along its banks
he sees fortune il the situation.
Only get capital enough together, or
ganize great company, dig an inl-
mense canal VIII ch will appropriate"
all the water in the river, and you com
mand the whole valley 1t is the posi-
ton Of the Western railroads repeated.
Instead Of waiting for settlers to come
and dig little bitches as they need them
an immense capital digs one hugh ca
nal watering thousands OF farms, and
then draws settlers by advertisement
and boom. So all over the West,
throughout Colorado, in central and
southern Ca ifornia, in Montana and
Idaho, on the Salt aud ella Rivers in
Southern Arizona, there are great. com
panies, with capitals running into the
millions, putting this idea into effect.
The canals they dig are twenty, thirty,
or even fifty miles long The largest
are hundred feet wide and ten feet
deep, very rivers in themselves. They
follow the contour of the country, run
ming back farther and farther from the
river as the latter falls away. The
main canal gives off lateral branches at
frequent intervals, and by an ingenious
system of gates, crossings, and bitches
sends water to every foot of arabic
ground between it and the river The
land belongs to the Government and is
taken up by individual settlers at mere
ly nominal prices under the "Desert
Land Act But the water belongs to
the, can. company and it is this water
that the settler really pays for From

Of Special Interest to All our
@Readers Who Possess the
Boon of Baby.

A magazine devoted to the care Of
infants was established in New York
few years ago It's plan was to
procure the best writing that money
could buy from physicians, trained
nurses, and everyone else who was
competent to advise in the perplexities
that confront conscientious parents
who aim at successful training Of
their children. An experienced
physician was placed in charge as
medical editor.
This magazine, Ba6yA00d by name,
has met with remarkable success the
world over. It's foreign subscription
list was sufficiently large for it to
establish a London office last year
and begin the issue of foreign
edition.
Ba6yh00d contains important pop
ular articles on infants diseases;
departments Of Nursery Problems, !"
in which numerous questions of sub
scribers are answered; Nursery
Helps and Novelties,' comprising
descriptions Of recent inventions and
convenient nursery furnishings;
Mothers Parliament" containing
interesting letters from readers, etc,
etc. The C0ngregah0nal1St recently
said: every issue Of Ba1yh00d
confirms US in the opinion which we
have otter expressed, viz, that it is
peerless in its way. It is full of
material of the most practical value
to all mothers, and it must be read
to be appreciated 1t is doing mis-
sionary work of high ORDER
By special arrangement with the
publishers, we are enabled this year
to make an unusual offer: The reg
ular price of Babyhood is $3.50 a
year. We will furnish the TEL
EGRAPH COURIER in combination
with Ba1yh00d for $500 per year.
This is a bargain that needs no
comment. Make a careful note of
it, cut this out, or, what is better,
send us in the amount at once. If
