Kenncbec County Societies Hold Interesting
Meeting at South China.

The kennebec county convention OF

ton.
The visitors were cordially welcomed
by Mrs. Jones of the South China
Friends society. Rev. J. NJ Long re
sponded happily in behalf of the union
The roll call showed "A societies now
at work in the county. The reports
were mostly encouraging and indicated
good progress since the last meeting.

OLD LANDMARK GONE.
Al Gregg, the One-Legged Barber
 Shipped to Kansas.

Al Gregg, the maimed barber, who is ordinarily a gentle-natured, unoffend- ing citizen, rolled his system with an overdose of different brands of hot stuff and cultivated mood that didn't bode peace on earth and good will to men. He was gathered in on two charges-one of threatening to kill E. B. Duncan and the other for carrying Q concealed weapon. Justice John stone yesterday set his trial for Sat urday morning at 10 o'clock.
 Tn the meantime Mr. Gregg's friends thinking that change of surround ings would do him good, procured him 2 ticket on the Santa F'e and shipped him away back to Kansas to herd grasshoppers. Mr. Duncan, the man whom Gregg was accused of threaten ing to annihilate, was the porter on the train, and when he learned that the aggressive colored man was pas senger his eyes bulged with fear.

MOTIONS FOR PREPARING.
Rules Adopted by Supreme Court at
 Its Recent Session.

The New Mexico supreme court at it's recent adjourned meeting in this city, adopted the following rule of gen. eral interest to attorneys, says the New Mexican:
 A motion for hearing after judg- ment can be presented only at the term at which the judgment is en- tered unless by special leave granted during the term, and must be filed within ten days after such judgment, if the term shall so long continue.
 No motion for rehearing shall be filed unless in the ground or grounds of said motion it shall distinctly point out that some question decisive of the cause, and only submitted by counsel, has been overlooked by the court, or that the decision of the court is in conflict with some controlling decis- ion or provision by statute to which the attention of the court has not been called through the oversight or neglect of counsel.

CHRISTMAS CHEER.

At the Christian church last night a large audience gathered to listen to very interesting programme given by members of the Sunday school, which included choruses by the school, recitations by Nellie Jacque, May Wiley, Bobby Wiley, Mary Roberts, Earl Bridwell, Edie Schrab, Myrtle Ross and Alice Price; vocal duets by Violet Noack and Florence Conner, and by Meta and Maud Mcfarland. A note was received from Santa Claus saying that he was waterbound at Kyrene and would be unable to reach the city in time for the festivities of the evening. Just as the presents were being distributed the snow house in which they were stored caught on fire from the wax candles and was con- sumed. This created considerable ex- citement, which was not on the pro- gramme, but very little damage was done beyond the scorching of hands and the burning of few toys, which will be replaced for the little ones.
 The children all rendered their parts in a creditable manner and were warmly applauded by the appreciative audience.
 There was Christmas tree celebra- tiOn at the insane asylum and the pa tients entered into the spirit of the occasion with keen enjoyment and hearty appreciation. The asylum or chestra provided good music and the tree was burdened with good things. Each patient received handkerchief nuts, candies, apples and oranges. Today they will feast on turkey and duck.

BIG STORAGE SCHEME.
Federal Interest in Irrigation Indicated
 by Captain Chittenden's Action.

Captain Hiram M. Chittenden, of the corps of engineers of the United States army, is in Denver looking over the typographical maps of Colorado with view to selecting the most desirable site for a great water storage reser- voir.
 Captain Chittenden's mission is one of extraordinary importance to the agricultural interests of Colorado and marks the commencement of federal interest in western irrigation projects. The idea is to establish a government storage reservoir or lake in the noun tains on the eastern side of the divide which will save huge volumes of water which now run to waste in the spring. The project will when completed open up vast areas of now arid region to cultivation.
 A start was made last spring, when congress passed the bill authorizing the construction of great federal res ervoirs, one in Wyoming and one in Colorado. The bill carried with it an appropriation of $2OO,OOO to defray the expenses of the surveys and other pre- liminary work.
