A succinct review Of the problem and Of
the conditions involved viii be Of interest.
The area Of our public domain naturally ft
for agriculture will soon be exhausted. The
arid section contains Jl9GG4 .GS3 acres, near
ly half Of which could be made richly pro-
duetive 10y irrigation for a wide range Of
crops. from wheat 20 fruits, temperate and
semitropical. The time viii come when
the great American desert Of Fremont's eX-
ploring period, which extended 1000 miles
east Of its present limits, will have nearly
disappeared in toto. With sufficient water
the yellow sands will become a carpet Of
verdure. To have the rains Of heaven,
whether stored up i'm the natural reservoirs
under ground and thus reached by artesian
wells, or whether damned up n great lakes
above ground, on free tap and thus under
perfect control, is the object Of scientific ir-
rigation.
The uses 20 which this historic science
has been put and the magnificent scale Of
its operation in other countries in ancient
and modern times are too well known 10

OF prehistoric cities of our own west can be
found the remains Of great aqueducts and
condults. The man Of the west il only try
ing TO repeat on a little bigger scale what
mis- predecessor did before Columbus came.
The two main methods by which il is
sought 90 accomplish irrigation on "a large
scale are the artesian well system and the
reservoir system Major Powell, the accom-
plished head Of the geological survey. has
rendered his belief that no great results
will be achieved by arresian wells, basing

ton Of the Presidents habits, he had no
right to get up at a public meeting and
make a statement which he could Lot
prove. Cleveland has never set up for a
model of morality, but since he has been
President he has certainly never appeared
in public when he was not in perfect pos
session of his senses. Hence this asking
for prayers is a relic of offensive religious
and temperance cant which is out OF date.
What this overzealous brother could have
asked for with perfect assurance that his
prayer would be echoed throughout the
country is that Cleveland might be deliv-
cred from his great sins Of overweening
vanity and %conceit. Beyond question, the
most baleful influence in American poll
tics for the past few years has been Mr..
Cleveland's idea that he-and he alone
knew the needs and wants of the American
people. That belief-with literally no
foundation in fact-has. been more detri-
mental to tie prosperity of the United
States than any personal habits OF Air.

YOUNG train WRECKERS
EndeayOr to Kill a Teacher Who Had
Whipped Them.
THEIR SCHEME DISCOVERED
Boys Put Fish Plates in Switch In
Hopes of Wrecking a Train Upon
Which the Teacher Usually
Rides Home.
BY the United Press,

Peabody Mass, Dec. 2O.-Kenneth
Belmar and Chester Palmer, aged 13
and 10 respectively, We're in court this
morning charged with attempting train
wrecking at Lynnfield, on the Boston
and Maine road, several weeks ago.
Four fish plates We're found tightly
wedged into a switch in such a manner
that trackmen say would have derailed
a train if they had not been discovered
in season. They were found and re-
moved just before train was due.
Young Belmar made statement con-
Tossing that he attempted to throw the
train from the track, and implicated
the Palmer boy He said that his
object was to try and kill lady school
teacher, of Lynnfield, who had assisted
another teacher in whipping the boys
and who rides daily to her home in
Wakefield by train. Belmar said he
and the Palmer boy, after talking the
matter over went up the track and
drove the fish plates between the rails.
They then went to their homes nearby
and listened for the crash which did
not come. The teacher was not in the
train that was endangered, but in the
one following it, some ten minutes
later.
Young Belmar came here with his
parents from New Jersey about three
months ago. Belmar was adjudged
guilty and turned over to the State
Board of Charities and Correction and
will be committed to a reform school,
The Palmer boy was placed on his pro-
baton.

A Startling development
What the Photograph of Dead
NOman's Eye Revealed.
THE FORM OF A MAN VISIBLE
Theory That the Eyes of the Dead Retain
Pictures Of the Last Objects Looked
Upon in Life Is Demonstrated
in Murder Case.
BY the United Press.


jamestown, N. Y, Dec. 2O.-A start
ling development was made in the
Shearman murder case this morning.
A photograph of the murderer has been
discovered. Both Mrs. Shearmans
eyes are believed to hold pictures Of
the man who murdered her. Chief Jen-
ner and Coroner Bowers on Wednesday
discussed the statement often made
that the eyes of the dead retain pic
lures Of the last objects on which they
rest before the last breath is drawn.
This morning it was decided to pro-
ceed on that theory and taking Fred
S. Marsh, they visited the Shearman
farm Mr. Marsh with his Kodak
photographed one eye of Mrs. Shear
man, and the form of a man was
found there; a big. burly man, wearing
a long overcoat, with the cloth of his
trousers badly wrinkled. The face of
the man was not obtained. Both Mrs.
Shearman's eyes were removed and
taken by the coroner to jamestown for
further examination and ITO be photo
graphed.
Mrs. Davis eyes were photographed,
but no image was found there conse-
quently it is believed that the murder
er came upon her from behind and
dealt the deadly blow without showing
himself to her. This revelation caused
sensation at the farm house. Under
taker Partridge was present and says
the photograph of the mans form and
clothing on the one eye of Mrs. Shear
man, which was exposed to Mr..
Marsh's camera, was perfectly distinct.
1t is hoped the other eye will furnish
the means Of identifying the murderer
by giving his face.
