PRISONERS CHANGE NAMES.

| capes a Sheriff.
| A remarkable case of deception W as made
| known IN the Illinois State penitentiary at
| Joliet. H.. recently, says the st. Louis
Globe Dem ocrar. Henry Failing, con-
| vict. was discharged. after having in,per-
sonated another Ban successfully during
his years sentence
About year and O half ago Failing was
confined i'll the county jan OF keoknk,
Iowa, having been arrested for passing
worthless checks. He made his escape from
the prison. and for several months was
lost sight OF. Then the Iowa Officers learned
that Failing had been arrested at Rock
ford and sent to Joliet for another crime.
A year passed and tbesentence was finished.
The sheriff from Eeokuk arrived in Joliet
prepared to take his man, but when the
prisoner was brought before him he said:
This is not Failing"
The facts in the plot were then made ap-
parent. Failing had been sentenced to q
years imprisonment from Rockford, to-
gether with a man named Newton Lee.
The deputy having them in charge had
taken them both to the penitentiary and de-
liyered them to the warden. but on the
way they had planned to exchange names.
Henry Failing was stripped, measured,
photographed and numbered as Newton
Lee and was known as Newton Lee for q
year, while Lee was known as Henry Fall
Ing. Both were good prisoners. one being
unsigned to work in the chair department
and the bogus Lee serving in the capacity
of night cook. Neither betrayed his Sc
cret.
One was q regular correspondent, but
the other wrote only occasionally. hence
the chance of discovery was not great.
Tuesday night Lee by name, called for the
chaplain and requested to see the warden
and get permission for his discharge at 6
nsfJnclr Friday when his Tina

out unaccosted by the Iowa sheriff and

Glass Works burned.

Anderson. Ind. Sept. 1s.-one of the
immense gas mains feeding the fur
naces OF the new American Plate Glass
works at Alexandria was broken last
night while casting was being made.
The accident was occasloned by a
heavy pot falling from the cranes
squarely upon the feed pipe. The full
force OF gas from the we'll was ignited
but the men. realizing the danger in
time fed from the building. The rush
OF blazing gas was so great the hose
and pump couplings were almost In
stantly destroyed. Assistance was
asked from the surrounding towns. and
various fire departments responded. 1t
was impossible to shut Off the fiow Of
gas or exiinguish the blaze. and the
efforts Of the firemen were confined to
saving the smaller buildings Of the
works. The loss Is $4,000, without in
surance. The plant was only reopened
Thursday last.

San Francisco, Sept. ls.-Notwith-

press the news concerning the cholera
the truth has at last come To light
concerning the plague. Japan and
North China are fairly alive with chol-
era germs. Siberian officials have de-

and from officials sources 1t Is learned
that more than 1900 people have died
in Japan from the plague since II
started in Pescadores. In China the
disease has gained firm foothold. Ad-
vices by the steamer Rio de Janeiro re-
port that In Toxic the heat Is terrific
and the disease germs have been
nursed by the climate into virulent
life. On the Rio de Janeiro little could
be learned concerning Yokohama, but
nevertheless the plague Is raging there
also. In China at Chez Fow the dis
ease Is spreading rapidly.

was a tired man. He wanted to ride a
wheel. but he couldn't He had no
wheel. neither did he have the price of
u wheel. Roe moped around the house
for a couple OF days. and his wife told
him he had better work OF his tired
feeling on the woodpile. This made
Roe mad. He went over to a neigh
boris and offered to trade his wife for
a bicycle. The neighbor struck bar
gain with him at once.
Roe returned home and told his wife
what he had done. She fell on his neck
and wept. Roe thought he had touched
her heart. He also put in a few tears
to make the measure good. Mrs. Roe
slapped his face and told him not TO
cry over her. Roe went TO court and
secured a divorce from his wife. and
while he was about 1t got the license
for the neighbor to marry her. Roe
has a wheel now and rides. and the

IRRIGATION EMES.
Moses Made Chairman and Phoenix DesI-
gnated for ihe Next Meeting.

Bhstfu tht <skt HrSttuks
Denver. Sept. lS.-A special to the
News from Albuquerque. N. NJ, says:
To-day's session OF the national irri-
CATION congress was opened by a paper
by Don ]. Ramon de Ybarrolla of Mex
leo on international Rights" He said
that In the treaty OF Guadaloupe-Hi-
dalgo 1t was explicitly agreed between
the United States and Mexico that the
Rio Grande should be In no way OBJ
structed nor the waters thereof ap-
propriated by either nation. without
the consent of the other. At the time
this treaty was made. the river was
navigable up to within n few miles
of FL Paso. while now there Is not suf-
ficlent water In the stream for irriga-
ton purposes 500 miles south OF FL
Paso. The water has been appropriat-
ed on the American side and the treaty
has since been broken by this country.
He claimed that some measure or sys-
TEN should be devised by international
equal division of the waters of the
stream.
The remainder OF the morning session
was occupied with thei contest over the
next meeting place. The principal
contestants were Phoenix. Ariz. and
Lincoln, Neb. After very exciting
roll call Phoenix was declared the
place of the meeting OF the next con-
