The great inland lake in the Color
ado desert continues to grow. The
party sent out by the Southern Pa
cific from Ogilbie last week to find the
source of the lake have returned and
report that the water leaves the Col

eral channels from four to six feet
deep and from thirty to sixty feet
wide 1t flows westward on the line
of the old overland stage, making a
stream 100 yards or more, and hav-
ing a velocity of four miles an hour.
Moreover the stream is constantly
gaining and the probability is that
it will wear a large channel for itself
and become permanent.

A Timely Warning to Farmers.

According to the last report of the
statistician of the agricultural de-
partment there is every reason for
encouragement in relation to the
agricultural situation. Prices for
wheat are higher than they were a
year ago, although then they had
materially advanced from a much
lower figure. The prospects for a
good yield are bright, and still more
to the advantage of our farmers, the
crop in Europe is reported light.
Since harvest is now pretty near and
meteorological and other risks re-
duced, there can be little doubt that
good prices will be realized. Let
our farmers beware, however" adds
the statistician, "of accepting higher
prices as an invitation to enlarge

belief generally acted on would in
two years make the cheapest wheat
of the century, and give an intense
cerulean hue to the entire atmosphere.
Growers, go slow in the extension of
wheat area !"
The acreage of wheat in Vermont
is so small that this warning need
not deter farmers of this State from
lndulging in wheat raising, and in
particular it should not result in an
increase in the number of Vermont
farmers who neglect to raise sufficient
wheat for the manufacture of flour

now but IA of the states that stand
out against the reform.
Mrs. Hegemen, the mother-in-law

covered her health as to permit Mr,
Depew to sail for Europe Monday
on the steamer Majestic.
This years census shows the popu-
latiOn of Scotland to be 4,O33, lob.
Ninety years ago it was l,6OS, 40,

than it was then.
Not far from Columbia, in Boone
county, Mo, is a little church in the
middle of a graveyard. A few years
ago, after a severe storm, man was
found dead in the churchyard, direct
ly beneath one of the windows. On a
pane in the window was an accurate
photograph of the dead mans face.
Mrs. Eliza Ryan, of Lamar, Ark,
a widow eighty years old, who has
been totally blind for thirty years,

The Ways and Means Committee
of the Exposition Directory has
adopted rules for the government of
the Bazaar of all nations" which,
it is proposed, will be established
near Midway Plaisance. AnypersOn
getting a concession to sell goods in
the bazaar will be allotted space in
which to erect a building suitable for
the purpose. These buildings are eX-
pected to be erected in the style of ar
chitecture that prevails in the coun-
try in which the articles are pro-
duced. All plans for buildings must
be submitted to the management for
approval. A limited amount of space
will be furnished to small dealers in a
building erected by the Exposition
management on the grounds of the
bazaar and the price for this per
square foot will be fixed at an early
day. No article placed in any of the
buildings of the bazaar will be con-
sldered as an exhibit. Parties who
get permission to sell goods in the
bazaar will be governed by the rules
and regulations applying to other
and such other rules as
circumstances may develop for their
proper protection.

Due credit should not be withheld
from President Harrison for the excel
lence of most of the appointments he
made in filling the newly-created Uni
ted States Circuit Judgeships, says the
Philadelphi Herald, but he was at fault
in making William S. Woods, of Indi-
ana, one of the new Judges.
Woods may have sufficient judicial
ability, but he is corrupt man. There
should not be even an intimation of cor
suption attached to the Judicial robes.
1t will be remembered that in the
election which gave Mr.. Harrison the
Presidency, the use of money in secur-
ing for him the electoral vote of Indiana
was one of the numerous rascalities
into the state well provided from the
corruption fund raised to elect the Re
publican candidate, and effected the
blocks of five deals by which Indiana
was carried for Harrison. There was so
little question about his guilt tnat when
he was prosecuted for the offence Judge
Woods directed the Grand Jury to find
a bill against him. 1t was as plain
case as if he had been arraigned for
stealing ham, with half a dozen eye
witnesses swearing against him.
But before the Grand Jury had been
discharged Judge Woods committed the
astounding act of reversing his instruc-
tions to it, and the notorious briber es-
capped the punishment that was his due.
In the interval between the instructions
to the jury and their reversal, it was
said that the Judge heard from Wash
ington where CONSERVATION prevailed in
Presidential circles at the prospect of the
Indiana bribery being exposed by Judi
cial proceedings. 1t was said that the
President offered Judge Woods the APP
pointment of United States Judgeship
if he should get the prosecution of Dor
sey out OF the way.
One of the new Judgeships has been
given to Woods by President Harrison.

A X ermit in a Big City.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-About eighteen
months ago an old gentleman who gave
his name "a Thomas Franklin and said
he was from Pennsylvania, came To Ber
wyn and bought one of the finest resi-
dences in that ariStocratic suburb of Chi
cago. He furnished the house in good
style The old man would tell nothing
of himself or his past history. Il came
here to get away from the world; Don't
ask me anything about myself or my
history" he would say He seemed to
have plenty of money. He did all his
own house work, rarely went out doors
except to buy food and altogether lived
the life of Il thorough recluse. For some
DAYS past there have been no signs of
life about the house.
To-day the old man WIS found dead
in bed There Were some Indications
that ne died violent death and il was
thought he might have been murdered
for his money. The coroner, this even
ing, however, decided that death was
due to natural causes. The only docu-
ment of importance found in the house
was will bequeathing all his property,
estimated at $50, 900 to a sister living in
Winton, Iackawanna county, Penna.

Awful Crime OF a Siep-Father.

Henry O'Connor, boIlermaker, aged
10 years, was arrested at midnight Sat
urday, for attempting TO murder his
step-son. Bernard Wattberry, aged 8
years. O'Connor took dislike to his
little step-son, believing he engrossed all
his wife's affections. He took the boy
out for walk last night, and when they
reached the Fifth avenue bridge, O'COn-
nor lifted the lad i'm his arms, carried
him to the center of the bridge, and
threw him off
The boy fell into the water, 20 feet
below, with a frightened scream. He
landed on a sandbar near the center
bridge pier, and called for help. Nivi-
an Alyea, who was going across the
bridge to his home in Bergen county,
took the reins from his horse, tied them
together and threw the moose to the boy
Bernard placed the moose about his
waist and was drawn to the bridge al
most unconscious and badly bruised by
the mass of ice flowing down the river
The police and ambulance were called
and Bernard was taken to St Joseph s
Hospital, where he lies in precarious
condition.

DURING the last year, says the n. Y.
Recorder, 25o0 railway employees were
killed and $4,000 injured while in the
discharge of their duties. OF these vic
Tins of "a cruel and largely needless
sacrifice" 500 of the killed and Z ,S41 of
the injured were brakemen. Brakeman
are most frequently hurt in coupling
cars. To require interstate roads to be
equipped with automatic couplers is
within the universally conceded pro-
vince of Congressional legislation.
There certainly should be no further
delay in needing the Presidents urgent
request that the Government, which
spends 100000 annually to rescue
shipwrecked vessels, take action to pro-
tect the lives of workers on the rails
against the murderous operation of an
tiquated appliances. That is the duty
of justice and practical friendship to Ia
Dor which the representatives of no par

No Cure for ii.

The alarming spread of the influenza
and the extraordinary mortality that
follows its ravages gives special signifi-
canoe and interest to a lecture delivered
last week at the university in Vienna by
Prof. Nothnagel, the court physician.
DIR. Nothnagel traces the origin of the
disease as far back as the ninth century,
history showing that it recurs three or
four years with varying intensity
and then dies out for a period of
twenty or more years.
The Professor expressed the belief,
based on experience, that those who
have once had the disease are not proof
against subsequent attacks, although
less liable 10 infection. The learned
gentleman knows of no remedy for it,
in spite of all the assertions to the con-
trary. The disease still remaininga puz-
zle to the doctors.
