II IL Rapidly Drying up and s,s waters

MELLErrk R d., Aug y.
Grave fears are entertained in regard TO
the possibility OF the James or Dakota
river becoming thing of the past. II IL
rapidly drying up, and, IL the present con-
d.tions continue, the time will not be FAR
on when the noUls and classic river will be
no more. Never before, within the ken ot
mortals, has the stage of water been so
low, aud the little water there Is, Is stag
nant, putrld and unfit TO be used for any
purposes whatever. People who have
been In the habit of pastnfing tbeir stock
on the banks or the river have been COM
PEELED either 10 move their herds 20 other
parts or sink wells In order to secure
sulicisncy> OF water for their cattle.
This IL 9 serious drawback TO a number of
our farmers. who, experiencing the fact
that depending entirely upon wheat was
moi remuaeraliye, had invested their
money ia stack. The question of seeuF-
ing sufIieiency Of water - becoming a
very serioas one, aud our farm rs are
awakening to full realization that In the
arteslan wells lies the only salvation Of the
country. In no part of the state is as
much interest taken in the matter as Is the
case in this yicinity. Experiments in irri-
CATION have been made with the water
from tho Mslleite Artesaan veil and the
results have been so very satisfactory AMI
the benefits so obvious that the success OF
irrigation by this method IL disputed hy
none, and all eoneede that IL - the only
possible way IN which this country will
ever fully develop aud prosper. Several
wells are at present being sunk, aud II
these prove TO be successful nearly every
quarter section OF land Ia the coantry viii
possess we'll in short order.

The soldiers pratectIng Judge Liily's
court NJ Hazard, Perry county, Ky, eap-
inred J.. c. jones, the notsd outlaw from
Knox couLty, Sunday, aud placed him In
Jail at Hazard. Jones Is credited with
having kill more man than any other
in Kentucky, and twenty-five Is q modest
estimate OF the number who have been
murdered by him. He IL said to have
killed seven In one day. lie was promi-
cent Ia the Rowan county war and is the
leader ia tho Knott county war. lie Is
under indictment fer taking part in the
hsht that resulted ia the killing OF Joe
Everso'e. During the civil wal, he was a
noted bushwhaeker ana is said to have
killed all the wounded he could fnd. He
is also said 10 be quite as skilled in steal
ing horses as numbering men, aud has
served tho state five years Ia the peniten.
tsary for the exercise of this talent. OF
course, In this enlightened and patriotic
country such distinction is not unappre
ciatsd.
AT the recent election jones, who is a re.
publican, was defeated by ouly nine votes.
This distinguished citizen OF Knott iunty
IL now about go years OLD, is about five feet
ten inches high and weighs about $40
pounds. Buck Fugitt was convicted of
second felony and given one year more In
the Ienitentiary. This is the fourth con-
vietion Of this court, aud Judge Li1y Is
delighted with the progress be is making
AID profuse Ia bis praise of the soldiers.
A detail of soldiers started from camp
Sunday and returned next morning with
Green Morris, the outlaw. He was caught
at tho head Of Bulls creek, about twenty
five miles from Hazard. The party was in
the saddle about ffteea hours. Morris is
wanted for participating ia uumarona muf.

ton OF that OF the Canadian Pacific, is

ested parties. The scheme IL 20 build a
railway eastward from Quebec some $50

coast, from which point large steamships
are expected 10 make the voyage from Mil
ford Haven In Walea in three and one
half days. By this route II Ii expected
that passengers and perishabls freight can
be carried from Chicago 10 London Inside
OF seven days. The capital of the company
is S20, 200, 900. but the company is author
izsd 10 boGd the road and issue dsbentures
