River Suddenly Shifted Its Course.

Walter Graves, of Monte Vista, Colo,
who was a member of the first Powell
expedition that explored the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado River,
tells about pumping station
erected by him recently on an
Indian reservation in that ter
ritory. The reservation was bounded
on one side by river, and the pump
works were erected on the banks adj
Joining the reservation. The cost was
several thousands of dollars, and the
outlook was promising for the Indians
whose lands were to be irrigated. One
night, however, a big storm, such as
are common to that locality, came up,
resulting in rousing spring freshet.
The next morning Mr.. Graves awoke to
find his pumping station high and dry
upon a sandy plain. During the night
the river had shifted its course and was
flowing a mile away from the reserva-
ton.

SCiiatiC
Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood RENE
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking rem
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t

blood remedies cannot reach that

the most obstinate diseases of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon it.
Mr.. Asa Smith. who resides at Green
castle, Indiana, where he is well known,
writes:
"For many years have suffered from
that terrible disease known as Sciatic
Rheumatism, which the treatment OF
many physicians failed to relieve.
I have also used nearly every known
blood remedy, but they did me
no good, as they did not seem tc

year ago he fell before the displeasure of
the Government which he had so shortly
before dominated and ruled with an ir on
hand. The murderous attack upon this
noted man who, whatever NAV be said
against him, was a patriot, is to be
charged directly upon the Government
and it cannot escape the stigma, disavow
the act as the officials may. Against the
administration Of Prince Ferdinand will
be written the charge of murder, and
history will not blot it out. Stam-
bouloff had for the one purpose of his
life the freeing of Bulgaria from Russian
influence. IL was the dominating ambi-
ton of his career. That he has failed is
largely chargeable to the part the Repub-
lie of France has played in connection
with Russia in the interest Of Ferdi-
nand, who married a granddaughter of
Louis Philippe. But for the Russian
Franco alliance Stamboulof might have
maintained his position. The fault OF
this remarkable man mas Deen MS
method, not his purpose. He had a di-
reotness in attaining ends that was moth
ing short of cruelty, while it lacked the
elements of discretion and far-seeing.
Behind him a little over year ago he
had the most powerful party in the east,
but to-day, under the secret influence of
Russia. it is dissipated and not single
officer of the Government dares to even
send servant to inquire after the condl-
ton Of the wounded man. who lies at
Deaths door. 1t is not at all improbable
that his death may lead to new turn in
Bulgarian politics, and SO revive the Ma
tional party as to involve the whole coun-
try in the most serious distur dances.

have so persistently urged and insisted
that the damage to the navigable streams
is due to agricultural and natural wash
more than TO debris deposits from hy-
draulic mines, will not take comfort in the
report of the Government authorities just
made. These engineers say that the shut
ting down of hydraulic mines has had a
remarkably beneficial effect upon the
rivers, clearing their waters and aug
menting their navigability. This report
comes, be it noted, not from anti-debris
men nor valley people, but from Govern
ment engineers, who. as a rule, are colder

The assault upon ex-Premier Stam-

result in his death, was expected. In

looked forward to his assassination. and
no one in power cared to prevent it. The
ex-Minister himself felt that he was
doomed and started with every turn of

form. The assault finally came in the
