VINE OH WATER
Controversy Over the Naming of the
Steamer st. Louis.

Controversy Over the Naming Of the
Steamer st. Louis.
There is some curiosity here,
writes the Washington correspond
ent OF the Herald, as to what Mrs.
Cleveland will do with the bottle of
Scbuylkill water which the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union sent
to her in christening the new steam
ar st. Louis at the launching next
Monday.
II she is to use water, what will
she do with the bottle OF st. Louis
champagne which has been provided
for the same purposes The sugges-
ton has been made here that il Mrs.
Cleveland has ever drank st. Louis
champagne she will refuse to spoil
a fine new ship, such as the st. Louis
is said to be, by sprinkling its bow
with such degenerate fluid.
But il is not likely that Mrs.
Cleveland knows anything about st.
Louis champagne on the one hand,
or has any ambition to have her
portrait hung on the walls of the
White House beside that Of Mrs.
Hayes by the ladies' OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union on the
other, and the safest and most sepsi-
BILE thing she can do under the cir
cumstances is to break over the bows
of the st. Louis the bottle which
Charles Cranp places in her hand
for that purpose.
She will do the christening act as
the guest OF Mr.. Cramp, and il is
his business to furnish the bottle.
II Mr.. Cramp does provide q bottle
Of st. Louis wine il will be- the first
instance on record when he had auy
thing to do with other than the
vintage Of sunny France, and the
very best at that.
The Cramps are famous for the
sumptuousness Of their feasts on the
occasion Of lsunchings. They have
been known to spend SO much a.
$4,000 for special trains, dinners,
wines aud flowers ia an effort to send
a new naval vessel into the service
under favorable and risky sur
roundings.
Mr.. Cramp may permit Schuylkill
water to dampen the bows OF the st.
Louis, but IL he does 1. will be a
great surprise TO the Navy Depart
ment people and Others who have
seen that gentleman's way Of doing
things in Washington. He never
buys water over here.

Court Martial Of Naval Officers Well

Known In Honolulu.
A general court. martial was lately
held at Vallejo, to try Lieutenants
Elliott aud Norton Of the Adams
relative To tn. recent grounding Of
that ship on reef uH st. Paul's
island, Alaska. The Adams ground.
ing had been pretty thoroughly
shown to be unavoidable, but II was
necessary, according tn naval routine,
to endsavor to draw out all tho facts
in the case, aud the department Or
dered the court. martial III the officers
in actual charge OF the ship when
the accident occurred. Lieutenant
Norton was the executive officer
aud Lieutenant Elliott the naviga-
tor. The wsll.kDown faultiness Of
the charts OF Alaskan waters, COM
bined with a dense fog, made tho
accident almost unavoidable. II is
not absolutely known what the find
ings OF the court martial are, says q
report OF November IL, but il is
generally believed that the Adams
officers will be exonerated.
Lieutenants Elliott aud Norton
have many friends IN Honolulu, who
will be glad il the verdict prove to
be their complete exonsrstion.

Possible Litigation.

While at Indianola, Monday, the
writer heard rumors to the effect that
some parties on the Willow above the
Holland dam proposed to dam the creek
at various places and use the water for
irrigating purposes. This would of
course render the Holland ditch prac-
tically valueless. While we are not
posted as to the amount and manner of
Mr.. Hollands appropriation of the Viii
low, we would advise the gentlemen con-
templating appropriating the water
above his right to seek good legal advice
before spending much money or time in
the making of dams, bitches or laterals.
It seems to us quite clear that Holland s
prior appropriation and investment is
entitled to some protection in equity,
whatever other legal or other complica-
tions may arise. Irrigation will natur-
ally bring considerable litigation as to
rights, property, ETC., but it were wise to
take soundings before venturing in too
deep.

Communicated.

The young man who goes bicycling on
Sunday with an awful doubt in his mind
as to its rightness must be profoundly
grateful if he finds himself able to dis
mount with enough of the original hui
manity left to enable him to say am I.
That he should so far have degenerated
that even the idea of Sunday ride could
occur to him, while being pardonable,
is open to severe criticism. That his
watch chain was broken at the very
start should have prevented further des-
ecration of the Sabbath, and served as
warning. What wonder then that, per-
sisting in his recklessness, the safety"
capsized? What wonder that the only
escape from the wreck was to cut away
part of his Sunday pantaloons? What
wonder that when he mounted for the
third-and last time-the chain broke?
What wonder that he walked home!
The only wonder is that the warning
coming so seldom is never needed. But
we think in this case experience will not
fail to teach.

A Disastrous Freeze.

In common with all the north and
northwest country this section was Wis
tied by a severe freeze, last Friday night,
and much damage was done to fruit,
garden truck, flowers etc. The damage
runs in strips and localities, and was
much heavier on the low than on the
uplands. 1t was one of the most severe
freezes this country has ever experienced
in mid-May, and will largely reduce the
unusually bright prospect for fruit. The
severity of the freeze puzzles the old
settlers on account of the fact that the
ground is so dry.
Word from the Beaver country is to
the effect that the freeze was very dam
aging over there. The foliage of trees,
the alfalfa, andsoforth, being embraced
IN the chilly disaster.
Fruit, flowers, hedges and garden
truck were sufferers to greater or less
degree throughout the city.
But rain and warm weather will bring
out all right much that seems to be dam
aged badly even.

A Family Row.

Monday morning, Mrs. John Petersen
of the Union hotel had her husband ar
rested under the charge of threatening
to do her bodily harm. Squire Berry
heard the case, and as Petersen stated
in open court that he would have killed
her if he could have gotten to her, the
Squire lifted up his voice and put Peter
sen under $500 bonds to keep the peace
After going to Indiano1a with Deputy
Sheriff Babcock to repose in Castle
Banks, Petersen changed his mind and
provided the required bonds. The diff
Guilty between the couple seems to be
over the presence of a young man named
Newton Beggs in the hotel. The hus-
band objects and the wife favors. There
is probability that the family linen
may be aired at the coming term of the
district court. At present writing Mrs.
Petersen and Mr.. Beggs are holding the
fort and Mr.. Petersen is visiting up in
Frontier county. And the end is not

Obituary Notice.

Died, May 21st, 1894, Sarah J., eldest
daughter of Mary ]. and the late ]. Neill,
aged 22 years, I month and FIVE days.
She leaves mother, two brothers and
two sisters, and a host of friends to
mourn her loss. The deceased was as
sailed a few months ago by that dread
disease, consumption. After weeks of
patient suffering she gave up the strug-
gle for life and is at rest.
Her mother, brothers and sisters and
other friends were by and tried to allevi-
ate the pain of the sufferer as best they
could; they could go no further than
the brink of the cold stream, but bet
ter and truer friend led her across to
that land where no wasting disease en-
ters in, and where friends never part.
Take comfort, christians, when your
friends
In Jesus fall asleep;
Their better being never ends,
Why then detected weep.
Why inconsolable as those
To whom no hope is given,
Death is the messenger of peace
That calls the soul to heaven.

A Successful Revival.

During the past winter and spring re-
vival meetings have been in progress up
on the Willow under Rev. Vivian of the
Methodist church and the number of
conversions all told we are informed has
reached about eighty souls. So that
the baptismal occasion at the mouth of
Spring creek, last Sunday afternoon,
drew out company of at least GOO peo-
pie. Of this number perhaps 80 were
from McCook, the remainder being from
all over that neighborhood for many
miles around. There were five INNER
sions and thirteen baptisms by sprink-
ling. The preaching services were con-
Quoted in the grove on the Willow by
Rev. Vivian. A basket picnic in the
grove added to the occasion-and they
do say that the women up in that vicin-
ity beat the world in cooking.

Pumps and Reservoirs.

If the experiments now being made
in the way of irrigating by water pumped
into reservoirs from wells from wind
mills shall prove successful, as seems to
be altogether probable, there is no doubt
but that this manner of irrigating will
be quite generally practiced. 1t is
claimed that such pumps as are used by
Messrs. Fowler and Gerald Wilcox on
their farms south of the city are capable
of doing wonderful things in the way of
elevating water into reservoirs. The
making of reservoirs is not an expensive
operation. and the cost of pump and
mill is not great. So that, we say, if
the results are anything in proportion
to the expectations this will become a
popular way of irrigating, even in the
valley. And the Meeker ditch will not
soon, we fear, be as generally used as
the company fondly and naturally
hopes.
The people of McCook, who donated
$40, 900 to aid in building the ditch, con-
not help feeling disappointed that so few
comparatively are using water from the
ditch. Some inquiry among those un-
der the ditch in this vicinity discloses
the feeling among the farmers that the
water rights are too high and the con-
'ditions too binding to warrant the use of
water. While we are not fully prepared
to discuss the theory, we do. with others
who favored voting bonds, lament that
every available acre under the ditch is
not under irrigation, and that the pros
poets are not more roseate for an early
realization of that hope.
And, at the risk of having our water
tax doubled again, we will venture the
hope that the ditch company will be as
liberal as is consistent with sound bust
ness principles, and that all reasonable
means be employed to encourage the
most general use of water possible

Shop Lifters Caught.

On Monday Mrs. Carrie Rosser of No.
los Monmouth street was arrested for
shop lifting and at a hearing before
Squire Kelley plead guilty and was
sentenced to imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail for five days-sentence being sus-
pended for the present on account of the
illness of young child of the woman.
A. M. Drew of The Fair complained
to the police that he was being robbed.
Suspicion pointed to certain women,
and on last Saturday evening while they
were in the store, they were watched
and seen to appropriate certain articles.
On Monday morning a search warrant
was issued and the Rief premises, No. los
Monmouth street, were searched. with
the result that large amount Of stolen
property was brought to light. On the
following morning other property was
recovered in a like manner, and it is
stated that during Monday night con-
siderable amount of plunder must have
been burned. as fires were kept going
in the house all night long.
The women were provided with regu-
lar shop-lifters' dresses with concealed
bags, pockets etc. and the police think
they have run into nest of profess
siona1s.
The police are to be congratulated
upon their work in this case. McCook
has suffered too much recently from
house-breakers and shop-lifters, and we
hope this will in large measure at least
put an end to it.

The water bubbling up at the corner
of Main and Dudley the other day at
first created the impression of possible
break or leak in the water mains. In
vestigation disclosed the fact that a
gopher was responsible for the leak, the
water coming from around the park
trees, which were being irrigated.
