THE CoLIMA WRECKED.
Pacific Mail Company's Steamer at the
Bottom of the Pacific.

Bottom of the Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.-In a
strange. vague way the first news OF
the wreck of the Colima was received
tonight at the Merchants Exchange.
A telephone message was received at
the exchange saying that resident OF
of this city received telegram this
evening, from his father, who was a
passenger on the COlind. The ex-
change, was dated Manzanillo, May %,
and read as follows:
"Saved. Will wire further partic-
ulars."
W. II. Avery, ticket clerk OF the
steamship company, said that probably
the wreck occurred at Point Tejupon.
the headland which the Granada
struck June %, 1889. The point is not
far from Manzanillo, which is the only
telegraph station in that neighbor-
hood. From Manzanillo came the first
news of the wreck of the Granada.
The Colina was commanded by Cap
tain j. P. Taylor, and was an iron
vessel of 2906 tons. She was built in
1873 by Roach & Sons, of Chester. Pa,
and was owned by the Pacific Mail
Company. Storekeeper Richardson,
of the Colinaa, was the one who sent
the first news of the disaster. 1t was
he who sent the message to his son in
this city that he had been saved. The
Colima carried very heavy cargo OF
general merchandise, and in addition
to the cabin passengers carried a num-
ber of steerage passengers.
Assistant Superintendent Avery, OF
the Pacific Mail, stated late tonight
hot To1s snl
only 10 were saved. There were 40
cabin passengers, 81 steerage, 43 Chi
nese, and the crew numbered 72. Most
of the cabin passengers were bound
through to New York. The statement
of lost and saved is based upon the
message to Superintendent Schwerin.
This stated the ship was wrecked May
q, and that a ships boat, containing
five of the crew and IA passengers, ar
rived at Manzanillo today, Tuesday.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

The proclamation of the president
opening the Yankton reservation in
South Dakota to settlement will afford
another opportunity for Industrious
white men to secure homes where the
Indians have heretofore held posses
sion, remarks the Globe Democrat. 1t
has been surrounded for weeks by
s.sooners" far. exceeding the number
that can secure claims, as is always
the case when these chances are pre-
sented. There is something peculiarly
attractive to western settlers in the
idea of obtaining Indian lands, and
they frequently pass over more desir-
able territory for the purpose of thus
satisfying their hunger for the soil.
Two other reservations, one in Col
orado and one in the Indian Territory,
are likely soon to be opened, and the
same eagerness is being manifested
with regard to them. In all, the tracts
to be placed upon the market this year
will amount to about 1,000,0 900 acres;
and there will then be practically
nothing left but the reservations of
the civilized tribes in the Indian terri
tory, which must eventually be alb
sorbed, of course, but which are out of
reach for the present. Generally
speaking, therefore, the public domain,
nnoa an wida tbof II oaaroa1 IN T., o-.,,o1
to all future necessities, will soon be
wholly appropriated, and the benefi
cent service of the homestead law will
come to an end.
1t Is not to be doubted that the rapid
settlement and cultivation of the pub
lie lands west of the Missouri River
has been vast advantage to the peo--
pie and to civilization. The history of
the world does not show another in
stance of such extensive and substan-
tial material, political and social de-
velopement. A large number of
citizens have been enabled to improve
their condition and at the same time
to contribute to the prosperity and
welfare of the country by reason of
the policy that the government adopted
for the encouragement Of western i'm
migration when the Republican party
first assumed conJrOl of its affairs.
New states have been founded, great
industries established, and wonderful
productive triumphs achieved. But
the limit has been reached 80 far as
the supply of new lands is concerned,
and the lines of settlement can not be
pushed any further. The frontier is
about to be abolished. Hereafter, the
will have to find loca-
lions in hooks and corners where civil
ization has already taken general
possession. The result must be grad
lal increase in the value of farm lands.
That is the manifest logic of the situ-
alton. The elimination of the public
ands that have operated for many
years to cheaper improved lands in
,he older states will certainly add to
;he worth of the latter from year to
rear; and the man who owns a good |
arm anywhere may rest assured that |
lie could have no better kind of prop |
,rty as an investment for the future.

TERRIBLE FLOOD IN TEXAS.
Several Families Were Drowned-The
River Still Out of It's Banks.

Several Families Were Drowned-The
River Still Out of Its Banks.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 28.-Nat
Sulzbacker, of this city, has just re-
turned from the DEVILS river country,
where he came near being victim of
the terrible flood that visited that Sec
tion last Thursday. He was caught in
the rushing water and lost all his bag
gage. He states that he helped bury
four persons who met their death by
drowning near Ozona. Two others be-
longing to the same family were
drowned, but their bodies have not
been recovered. The victims were
George Velascos, his wife, and her
two brothers and three sisters. They
lived on the bank of DEVILS river,
which rose 80 feet within 80 minutes
and swept their house and the whole
family into the raging torrent. All
the houses on the Prosser ranch, be-
tween JULIO and Comstock, were swept
away, and several families numbering
in all about 20 persons, are believed to
have been drowned. The DEVILS
river and its tributaries are still out of
their banks, and much damage to
property along the streams is reported.

How Wilde VIII Pass His First Month
in Prison.

in Prison.
LONDON, May 28.-Oscar Wilde, after
he was sentenced Saturday, was taken
to Holloway Jail in the northern part
of London. There all his money and
valuables were taken away by the war
den. He was stripped to his shirt, and
the officers wrote down in the prison
register minute account of his ap-
pearance, color of his eyes, hair and
complexion, and any peculiarities such
as broken finger, tattoo marks,
moles, etc.
Then Wilde was put into hot bath,
and his shirt, the last vestage Of his
days of freedom, was removed. Emerg-
ing from the water, he found full
suit of prison clothes ready for him,
from under-linen to loose shoes and a
hideous Scotch cap. His clothes are
of dirty drab canvas, plentifully
adorned with drab arrows. Shortly
afterward, Wilde ate his first real pris-
on meal, an allowance of thin porr1dge
and small brown loaf.
He was taken today to Bentonville,
hard by Holborn viaduct, the prison
for convicted criminals. He was ex-
amined physically with great care,

will depend what labor he is to do. If
passed sound and fit for first-class hard
labor, he will take his first months
exercise on the tread wheel, walking
six hours daily, making an ascent Of
5000 feet. He will walk for twenty
continuously and then rest the
next five minutes. A government in
spector will visit him once a month
and hear any representation or COM
plant, and a visiting committee of
London magistrates will call frequent
ly at the prison for the same purpose.
On his release, Wilde, if he has work.
ed well, will have earned the magnifi-
cent sum of 10 shillings.
While Oscar Wilde's case has abb
sorbed public attention recently, Lon
don police reports show that persons
accused of the same offense for which
be is committed come frequently be-
fore the magistrates. On the very day
be was convicted John Goodchild, % |
years old, and said to have had good |

,e allowed to live at all.

Neither Come. Nor Marti Dead.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-A special to
the World from Havana says that
neither Marti nor Gomez Is dead or
even wounded. This is said to be
positively known here. Moreover, it
is asserted upon what is pronounced
good authority that neither was at
Boca dos Rios at the time of the battle
in which the Spanish reported Marti
was slain and Gomez wounded. The
man killed at Dos Rios, the finding of
whose body afforded the basis of the
story that Marti fell, was Cuban spy,
1t is declared, who was to carry cor
respondence to the leaders.

An Interesting Change.

Students of natural history havn
pointed out many instances Of ami
mails and birds adapting themselves
to changed conditions Of life. A
somewhat interesting example, Of
this is asserted to be taking place at
the present time in Australia. The
fleeces of the strains Of English sheep
imported into that continent are said
to be growing decidedly lighter, ow-
ing to the fact that the heavy fleece

Who Will Be The First?

AhCio arc quIto u NUMBER IN
this county who are convinced
that the proper thing fer them to
DO would be to sink artesian wells
and thus put themselves in posi-.
ton to engage in a good paying
business, in the line of farming,
da'rying and stock raising, but
all are a little timid about being
the first one to undertake the lob
of putting down a we'll, and the
two difficulties which seem to s.are
them in the face, are, IN the first
place the cost, and then that there
mas never been . test made of
putting down an artesian well in
the county, but nearly every one
believes that if they had a well on
their place they would have a
"bonanza.
1t has been proven by parties
In our noighboring county of Au.
rora that the actual cash OUTLAY
for a small well docs not need to
scare our people 80 much, for by
three or tour going in together
and buying a machine it does not
fall so heavy on each one. To be
sure it requires considerable work
and perseverance, but i. is Ger.
tainly worth the trouble aud cost
when once accomplished.
Below we give the COST of one
we'll put down in Aurora county.
which is taken from an article IN
the Dakota Farmer:
One third OF cost OF m &c hine. sl1l 6s
9n feet, 2 inch casing at cent, per loot D, 90
800 leet 3.inch casing AT l3n Cts per foot DO 80
Freight on Casing -. :. az o,
lncidcntals and repairs .............. 10 90
Total 1910 10
Therefore, if the machine were
thrown away after finishing the
three wells, the first well has cost
III money S3l0.6G, and their own
work for sixty.tive days. But 1t
is ut fair to allow that the outfit
will be worth half price when they
are done, and if SO, the well will
stand tn m in cash, 1924 33, there
has been an advance in the price
of casing since they bought of
about 81 Per cent.
The third interest III the ma
chine represents the cost laid
down in White Lake.
Undoubtedly there is not a far
mer in this county who cannot 20
out on Lis farm and see the ruins
of old machinery that has cost
him more than it would to have
put down a well in tins way.
There is not much chance for
doubling the surity of getting ar
tesian wells in this county if we
60 after them, in as much as the
counties all around us have them.
AS some of the people here are
beginning to figure and talk very
strongly of sinking wells, it is
only a question Of a comparatively
short time when the question at
the top of this article will be
solved.

Wilson, as Mayor, VIII See That 1t Is
Properly Done.
The street sprinkling contracts expired
yesterday, Laus Dec! For on most OF the
shaded residence streets the sprinklers
have been positive nuisances, and APP
peals to The executive to enforce the law
and compel the mon to Sprinkle" as the
contracts called for, and not flood the
streets, as they do on the shady ..sides. have
all proved vain and useless. When j..
w. Wilson is installed Mayor he will cor
rect this thing, as he will have the power
to do. He is pledged to it by the express
declaration OF the platform adopted by
the convention that nominated him.
Voters who have any doubt concerning
the need of reform in king
methods should yesterday have seen n
street, for single example, from Fourth
to Ninth. Its condition was a positive
disgrace. Yet all summer long it has
been the same. and when appeals were
made to the Street Superintendent of the
present administration to correct the
abuse. his reply was, word for word:
We'll, l have tried to educate those fell
lows, and l can't. They do shamefully
put on The water under the shade, and 1t
is bad, very bad for people on the south
side OF the streets. But L can't seem to
educate those fellows To do right"
Just so. When j. w. Wilson is Mayor
he will see to it that the sprinklers are
educated, right speedily, or that they do
not draw down city cash.
