Went a Little Too Far

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Attorney General
Miller was asked by reporter about
the prosecutions recently commenced in
Milwaukee against the publishers of GER
tain newspaper there for sending through
the mails their papers reproducing from the
San francisco Examiner and the Boston
Herald an argument against the validity Of
the anti-lottery law passed by the Fifty
first congress. These prosecutions, the at
torney general said, he has directed to be
dismissed.
While am in favor Of prosecuting vigorously
every infraction OF the law whether direct or
evaslVe, think the refusal of the use of the
mails to papers discussing the principles or poll
cy OF the law is unwarranted and would hurt
rather than help the cause in the interest OF
which the law was enacted.

Sioux CTY, Iowa, Sept. 2l.-The post
mortem examination of the body of CharI Ies
Barouski, which was conducted in the pres
ence of twelve OF the leading physicians,
reveals a case which they declare to be
without parallel in the history of medicine.
Barouski was a veteran Of the late war,
in which he received rifle ball through the
mouth, which lodged in his head. He
died Friday and the examination was held
to-day. The ball was found lodged in the
low or vital part of the brain, or, as the
doctors call it the posterior horn of the lett
lateral ventricle. The only trouble the de-
ceased ever experienced was dizziness when
he stopped over or lay on his lett side.

From the tone Of an article in last
weeks Los Anipsas Leader the delect-
able trio, who preside over its columns,
seem TO be somewhat enraged over
few OF the wholesome truths fred into
them by the REGrsrER,- in regard to their
failure to rob our farmers again this year
Of water. Having carried out their
schemes to that end heretofore, without
any protest from the poor people at this
end Of the ditch, it gives them a bad
spell of collie to have any one call them
down. In regard to the fatality which
we said seemed to hang over the canal,
we did not state how much that fatality
was owing to the efforts of Bent county
people towards keeping but small head
Of water in the ditch. We could cite
great many instances of this kind, but
pass it by at the present time. Under
the able management of Mr.. Redfeld, and
in spite of the obstacles thrown in his
way, the canal at the present time is full
Of water furnishing abundance of water
to our people, in fact to all the water
right owners it's entire length, and the re-
suit il an assured fact more grain will
this year be raised in Prowers county
alone, than has ever before been grown
in the entire Arkansas valley. That fact
seems to worry the editor or assistant
editor, or both, Of the Leader. 1t appears
that Murphy, in his efforts to create a
drouth in the beer trade up there, has
had to call in an assistant on the edito-
rial staff of his paper, to help him ad-
vertise the fact, or try to, that the mar
row strip of alkali lands lying under the
Henry canal in Bent county, is SO large
that this ditch will only furnish water
enough to supply them, and the broad
empire of productive soil in Prowers
county, under tn canal, will never be OF
any account for this reason. This '.jack-
leg lawyer" who reminds US very much
Of the "west end of horse looking east,
in the long periods existing between his
opportunities to practice law, seems to
put in his time principally in writing ar
ticles, exercising his stupendous intel
lect as it were, in the effort to abuse
the management of the Henry canal fol
their efforts to supply water to Prower.

if allowed to and we are going to have it
In a very few years your narrow strip o
alkali land will be SO white, that people
will think they have struck snow storm
when riding through it, and all of yor
