Sait0n Sea Again.

1t Is said that Salton Sea, which. two
years ago, was formed by the overflow
OF the Colorado River in the desert Of
Arizona, is likely to be there arain
soon. A cattle man. who is we'll
acquainted with the region. saws that
the river Is again overlooking into the
desert, and is likely to do so for a
long time, as there have been very
heavy SHOWS in Montana, Idaho and
Utah, at the headwaters of the river
the melting of which has caused the
present overflow. The last overflow is
the first IN twenty years, but there is
every indication that it has been COM
mon IN the past, and that the present
desert was in former times great
lake. which there is nothing TO pre-
vent its being again. if water enough
runs in to fill it. He saws: when
the overflow of two wears ago occurred
the water followed the identical chan
nels that had become almost obliter-
ated from age. The water is now run
ming into the desert III two branches.
One is Carter River and leaves the
Colorado about fifteen miles below
Yuma. The other channel is New
River, and is forty-fve miles further
down the river. Salton is about 900
feet below the level of the debouch-
ments of these rivers. The water has
been flowing into both of the breaks [

THE CONVENT OF LA RABIDA

From the side OF the Agricultural Building
Il bridge leads over to a little headland. upon
whose summit drowsily rests q counterfeit
of the old monastery of La Rabida. a mon
astery widely known to scholars as 'the
cornerstone Of American history" and
place associated perhaps more closely than
any other with the career Of the great dis
cOverer.
The original monastery, says the New York
Post. is situated near the town of Palos, in
Spain. the port from which Columbus sailed
to find New World and had had an event
full history before its hOspitable doors were
opened to the wayworn Christopher and his
little son. Diego.
According to tradition. Il was first erected
as temple to PrOserDina during the reign
of Traian In the Eleventh Century it was
occupied by the Knights Templar. and later,
after the expulsion Of the Moors from Anda-
lusia, it passed into the hands of the Fran
ciScan monks. After the time of Columbus
it was considerably enlarged, but recently
the Spanish Government has had it restored
to the condition in which he found it on the
occasion of his first visit.
It was after an unsuccessful journey TO the
Court of Portugal. and while Columb bus. pen
niiess and disheartened. was making his
painful way to Cordova to seek the aid Of
Ferdinand and Isabella that he was sheltered
by the kind Franciscans. Father Perez,
Prior of La Rabida, himself q man learned
in the science of geography. became greatly
interested in Columbus and his theories, and
having been at one time confessor to Isabella,
was able TO give him letters and advice which
were. no doubt, indirectly instrumental in
his success.
The interest attaching to this facsimile Of
La Rabida is many times multiplied by the
priceless collection of reHcs which have bean
gathered here within its walls by the indus
try OF Mr.. William Eleroy Curtis. and which
relate Immediately to Columbus and his
voyages. The Vatican. the Spanish State
Department. the Duchess of Berwick and
Alba and the Duke of Yeragua have opened
their stores. and, in fact. the earth has been
ransacked until nearly every object of his
toric interest connected with the great mari
ner has been amassed for the pleasure and
instruction Of those who dwell in the world
which Le discovered.

RIGHTS OF CORPORATIONS.

The United States supreme Court Puts u
Limit ON condemnation Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, March rs The SUI
preme court of the United States has
declared it's opinion that the United
States could not condemn the property
o; private corporations without con-
sidcring in the proceedings the earning
capacity thereof.
The opinion was rendered by Justice
Brewer in the case of the appeal OF the
Monongahela Navigation Co. from the
Judgment of the circuit court for the
western district of Pennsylvania in con-
demnation proceedings instituted by
the United States.
The navigation company, said Justice
Brewer, was q corporation authorized
to improve the navigation of the Mo-
nongahela river by the construction OF
locks and dams. After constructing
six of these at the request of the
United States it built what is
known as ''lock and dam No. q"
Subsequently congress passed an act
providing for the condemnation
and purchase of this lock and dam,
the act prescribing that in the estima-
ton of the value of the property no ac-
count should be taken of the value OF
the franchise of the navigation COM
pany, whereby it was authorized to col
lect tolls from vessels passing through
its locks Condemnation proceedings
were begun and according to the lam
guage of the act, the circuit court took
no account of the value of the COM
pany's franchise.
sin this" continued Judge Brewer.
1--WE think the circuit court erred The
right of the company to charge tolls
for the use and benefits Of the improve
ments it had made is factor that must
be considered in fixing the amount OF
damages to be awarded in case OF this
kind. The judgment of the circuit
court is. therefore, reversed"

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.

The Outlaws Starr aud Nswcomb Rob the
CWney. Kan, Bank In Broad Daylight.
CASEY, Kan. March ga bank rob-
berry, which was not only one of the
most daring in the annals of crime on
the border, but was ut the same time
one of the most unique, was committed
In this town. So quietly was 1t done
that outside of the ten men who were
quietly stood up in n row no one in the
town knew it until it was over and the
robbers had departed with their booty.
The officials of the bank were
husily engaged in their work at
the hour mentioned when on look
ing up they were surprised to find
themselves covered with revolvers in
the hands of two unmasked robbers,
one half breed Indian known to be
the outlaw Ed Newcomb, and white
man who was recognized as the noto-
rious Henry Starr. Cashier Perry Eol-
lingsworth, Assistant Cashier Fl. A.
Scurr and Judge McEnery, vice presi-
dent of the First National bank of Cof-
feyville, were the three men in the
bank, and Assistant Cashier Scurr took
refuge in the vault and closed the door
behind him, but Starr ordered Hollings-
worth to open the vault or die.
He then told Scurr to open the safe,
which he did, and at the point OF n gun,
emptied s., 1000 in bank bills and gold
into wheat sack held by the Indian.
The robber then went through the mon
ey drawer. securing about $500. They had
previously secured the Winchester and
revolver that were lying on the cash
ier's counter, and there was no oppor-
tunity for those inside to alarm the
people passing by the open door of the
bank. Before they finished their work
there were seven patrons Of the bank
dropped in one by one to make deposits.
and each one was compelled to throw
up his hands and march behind the
counter.
The robbers, while at work, laugh
ihgly told the frightened officials that
the Daltons were not all dead by -
of sight, and that they were going to
pay the bank across the way visit
They then had the nerve to march
these ten men out into the yard back
of the building. which is inclosed by
high board fence, and locking the rear
door of the bank, walked
hurriedly out of the front door
into the street, where they had their
horses tied. Mounting them they rode
rapidly south into the Indian territory,
lying two miles south of Caney. 1twas
fully ten minutes before posse was or
ganized and in pursuit, and the chase
was exciting, the pursued and the pur-
suers riding like the wind across the
level prairie. The robbers were SUI
perbly mounted, and if they succeeded
in eluding the posse until night they
would be safe. The citizens are greatly
excited, and should the robbers be
caught they will be mobbed by the
people.
