A Big Irrigation Scheme.

Fort COLLINS, Colo. Oct. 2l.-There is
a gigantic scheme afoot to bring the water
Of the Grand river on the Western slope
TO this side of the range. The Water
Supply and Storage company have begun
active preparations to tunnel a snort dis
lance through the mountains and tap the
river. The supply is conveyed to the
plains on this side of the range over the
beds OF several prehistoric streams and a
small creek to a point eleven miles above
this city, where a natural reservoir has
been discovered in which can be stored
several million gallons of water. The
people of the western slope say they will
not permit the company to divert the
waters of the Grand. which is their main
source of supply. and they threaten Law
suits. The company has commenced
work upon its canal leading from the
creek system to the reservoir. 1t is the
biggest irrigation scheme ever undertaken
in the West.

A Legislator In Trouble.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2l.-The grand
Jury late this afternoon made a partial re-
port to Superior Judge Wallace. The
report consisted Of the finding of two in
dictments against Assemblyman Elwood
Bruner of Sacramento. One indictment
charges Bruner with the crime of per
jury committed while giving testimony in
the grand jury room. The other indict-
ment charges Bruner with malfeasance in
Office during the late session of the legis-
lature. The malfeassnce consisted in
killing the bill providing for the cinching
of cut rate ticket brokers, particularly in
the case of Ticket Broker Ottinger of this
city, who accuses Bruner of attempting,
IN connection with Assemblyman Mccall
of Alameda, to biackmail him out OF
$1,000. Judge Wallace ordered a bench
warrant issued for the arrest of Bruner,
which was Immediately done. Bruner is
the assemblyman who was charged with
selling positions on the San Francisco
police force. A legislative committee in
v~estigated the case and returned a ma
jority report of guilty with extenuating
circumstances. The legislature refused
to receive the report of the committee
and SO vindicated Bruner.

More Record Breaking.

STOCKTON, Gala, Oct. 2l.-Two more
worlds records were broken on the Stock
ton tack today A Palo Alto yearling,
Bell Byrd, driven by Marvin. went
against her record of 2:27f and made a
a mile in 2:26f. Her quarters
were 27l. liza, ISL, 2:26t. The flly did
not make a skip in a mile. Marvin then
drove Arlon, by E~lectioneer, against his
record of 2:l5} and made the mile with
out a skip, finishing strong in 2:l44. The
quarters were 343. l:07, l:4l, 2:l4t. At
the conclusion of Arion's trial veteran
horsemen said the record would never be
beaten. Palo Alto came out lame, but
warmed up well and went against his
record of 2:l25. He made the mile in
2:llt, thus lowering his record. The
quarters were 33t, l:05a, 1901, 2:llt.
Some of the watches made it 2:ll and
two of the timers were a shade over 2:ll,
so it was called 2:llf.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 2l.-Thousands of
broken Tennessee hearts and thousands of
empty pocketbooks were carried away
from Cumberland park this evening.
Direct, that m~atchless California PAGER.
had showed Hal Pointer his heels with
ease in three straight heats. The time of
the second heat was the best ever made
in a race In harness. lowering Pointers
record half a second. In the first heat
Pointer had the pole and held it until the
quarter, when Direct, who had been on
almost even terms with him from the
start, made a magnificent squirt and
pulled away.
The second heat saw direct at the pole
and he held 1t throughout. The best
Pointer could do was to stay abreast up
to the half mile, when Direct gradually
drew away. The last heat was a replti-
ton of the Others. THE time by quarters
was: First heat. 32i, l:05t, 1881, 2:l0.
Second, :32t; LOAF, 1854. 2:O9i. Third,
1924, LOS, 1854, 2:ll.
1t was believed by many that Direct
could have gone IN POS in the second heat
had Pointer pressed him more closely,
Pointer was a big favorite in the pools or
the first, selling 800 against $50 for Di
rect. The selling for the second hea
third found Direct selling at $40 against
S. for Pointer.

Report.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2l.-Maj. Gen.
Schofield, commanding the army, in his
annual report recalls that nearly one halt
of the infantry and cavalry of the army
was concentrated at the scene of the In
dian disturbance last winter and then says
the campaign teaches the lesson that the
entire military force OF the United States
would be wholly inadequate 20 prevent
great loss of life and damage to property
if the general Indian outbreak should oc-
cur. However, he believes no consider
able number of Sioux intending hostili-
ties against the United States unless
driven to it by hardship. By the addi-
ton Of a few thousand men to the en-
listed strength of the army whereby a
sufficient force might at all times be
stationed in the vicinity of the great
reservations, the danger of an uprising
will be entirely removed and the great ex-
pense of the transportation Of troops
from distant parts of the country entirely
avoided. Gen. Schofeld then makes a
strong plea tor the reorganization OF the
army. The report notes with satisfaction
the progress Of a definite policy Of i'm
provement In coast defenses.
Ioucning the enlistment OF INDIANS IN
the army the report says the policy has
not vet progressed very far, but the re-
suits have been satisfactory, and it should
be adhered to. The report suggests the
reorganization of the infantry and artil-
lery and an increase in the pay of non
commissioned officers. Touching the dis
cIpline Of the army the report says: "All
reports show the general state of dlsci.
pline is excellent, the one lamentable ex-
ception being that OF the 4th cavalry at
Walla Walla. The winter campain against
the Sioux developed the most cheerful
endurances of great hardships as well as
Rallantry in action and the total absence Of
assertions while in the field in the pres
epce of the enemy."

PTrTsBURG, Oct. 2l.-A frightful
wreck occurred on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad real St. Johns station, forty
miles east of Cumberland, Md. this after

Craig. postal clerks, will die. j. @. Nc
Donald, a passenger, OF Baltimore, is seri-
ously injured. The train was running at
the rate of fifty miles an hour, when sud-
denly the engine jumped the track and
was followed by the baggage car, postal
car, smoker and passenger coach and two
sleeLers. 1t was a complete wreck and
the only wonder is that more were not
hurt. The rails are said to have spread,
but this was not definitely ascertained.

ATLANTA. Ga. Oct. Ex-Governor
Hills address at the unwilling of Henry
W. Grady's monument, which was a
lengthy one, reviewed Mr.. Grady's career
and was warmly eulogistic. Speaking of
the press Governor Hill said it is our best
security for the preservation Of our politi-
cal institutions, our best safeguard against
the perversion of our government. To
our editors we may look when socialism
and Capitalization stand ~unrebuked by
those to whom the ballots have been en-
trusted.
The freedom and growth of the press
will at last invigorate that clause of our
constitution which withholds from the
government all but a few specific and ex-
pressly granted powers. Better every
just expansion of private freedom than
any growth of the governmental function
still more of governmental u%surpaticn.
A touohiGg letter from Henry Waiter
son on Grady was read tonight at a ban
quet rendered Gov. Hill by the Young
Mems Democratic club.

DENVER, Oct. 2l.-A special from
Albuquerque, N. NJ, to the Republican
says: The mining camp of San Pedro is
in a state OF excitement. About two
weeks ago s. p. Conger, the discoverer of
the rich San Lazarus mine. was in Mil
waukee. Wis, and attended a meeting of
the stockholders of the mine. Observ-
ing that they intended ousting him he
pulled a pistol and compelled the mem
bers to vote in about the way he wanted.
He then started for New Mexico, but
before reaching San Pedro the Milwaukee
stockholders telegraphed Newberry, the
bookkeeper at the mine, to take possession
and hold. Conger. upon his arrival, dis
armed the guard and drove Newberry and
force off the premises at the point of a
revolver. Newberry Is awaiting instruc-
tions from Milwaukee and more trouble is
looked for.

under the pope was a gangrene spot which
must have poisoned the whole body of the

come an asylum of ali fallen dynasties. a
cav of brigands who infes'ed the south

Cause OF the Burlington Accident.

Cause OF the Burlington Accident.
MONMOUTH, ILL.,. Oct. 2l.-Oficials OF
the Burlington road here assert that the
cause OF last nights disastrous wreck was
that the switch was deliberately tempered
with. Coroner Taylor expresses the
same opinion aud asserts that the guilty
parties will soon be caught. Two men
we're arrested on suspicion today. One
was released soon after, but W. r. r.
Healy. who had been working on A farm,
is held. Some other people assert that
the switch was not in good condition; that
the lock did not work and that the
vibration OF the rails might spring it open.
The coroner. however, represents that the
switch was in perfect condition, although
one OF his assistants asserted this after
noon that the lock could be slipped
through a big link and the pins pulled.
There were at least 100 people on the
train and it is marvellous that half of them
were not killed, The chair car 10 which
two passengers we're killed was literally
smashed to pieces. Besides the injured
named in previous dispatches a dozen

OMAHA, Oct. 2l.-At the trans-Missis-
siDpi today the resolutions
adopted we're on land grant, naturaliza-
ton and gulf deep harbor matters. The
first named sets forth that the interest of
mining creates and adds to the wealth of
this country nearly 800, 900, 900 annually
of gold and silver alone, a product whose
scarcity means the depreciation of the
values of farms, homes and the real prop
erty of the country as well as the wheat,
cotton and co produced by our toilIpg
millions, and whose abundance means in
creased comfort and prosperity; that
there are millions of acres of gold and
silver bearing mineral lands in the West
within the limits of the grants to the
Pacific railroads and in imminent danger
of becoming the property of these roads,
and earnestly asking of congress such leg
~islation as will protect and foster the
mining interests, and forever prevent the
mines and mineral lands bearing gold.
silver. copper or lead from becoming the
property of these corporations under their
grants.
1t is recommended that the convention
authorize the president to appoint a
committee of seveh members which shall
take steps to secure such united and
Existent action az will save these mines
and mineral lands to the people.
The resolution on naturalization says
our laws in this respect should be made
more stringent aud only United States
courts should exercise the power of natur-
aliZation.
Another resolution sets forth hat the
necessities of trans Mississippi states de

ton and that western trunk lines OF rail
roads be requested to extend their rail
way facilities to Galveston as rapidly as
the work OF the i%etties proceeds.
Another resolution declares it the sense
of this congress hat the immigration laws
be so amended that only immigrants who
both desire and are fitted for American
citizenship shall be permitted to land on
our shores and that the laws should be
more stringent.
Upon the silver question there were
three reports, all of which were laid over
for future discussion.

place of the next meeting, but after the
names of Salt Lake and Helena were
presented the matter was laid on the table.

IT SMALLEY MANI. Co.

The Second ward school building is
now inadequate to the demands made up
on 1t. A new building must be erected
next season. The First ward school is
likewise crowded and additional room
must be provided for. The Third ward
schools are likewise overcrowded and
the district is raising a fund fer the cree
ton of new buildings. Zach school has
as principal a man competent to manage
central high school and the city is thus
paying salaries to three high school prin-
clpals. The sum spent in patching out
the ward schools would go far toward
building central high school, The more
advanced pupils in the three present
ward schools could attend the central
high school and the emulation" thus
created would prove beneficial to all !.
School expenses would be greatly re-
duced and, best of all,-the river would
cease to be a barrier to friendly inter
course.
There is nothing which the city needs
more than central high school and the
need of it Will keep increasing with the
growth of the city. 1t may be too late
to do anything in that line during the
present session of the legislature but the
question should be discussed SO that
prompt and united action can be taken
later.
