lHe changes maue Dy Cne SENATE commit
tee are intended to more carefully guard
valley interests and bring State and Fed
eral acts more in harmony. Every safe
guard that could be thought of has been
placed around the appropriation, and it is
not now seen how any one can object
to it. I endeavored to have another
chance made striking out the words Sac
ramento and Feather and inserting the
word 'navigable,' in accordance with an
opinion rendered by Messrs. de Haven,
Carpenter and Wright, but some of our
delegation objected to it and it was not
agree 10 the Senate changes and much
needed work will thus soon be begun
under the supervision of Government en-
pineers"

bottles of the native sarsapariIia, and is
now convinced joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla Is best, "for," said he, "when be-
gan using the Sarsaparilla had desire

and determined to use bottle Of joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla. l easily procured
the first bottle and after using for six days
felt better in every way. When l bought
the second bottle 1 had little trouble in

glad bought the remedy and will gladly

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
22.-Track Manager Brown, when asked
about Stanford's prospects in the coming
intercollegiate field contests next Satur-
day, stated that he had great confidence in
Stanford's athletes this year. but hardly
hoped for victory.
"All the men are hard workers." said
he, "but, though they have trained con-
scientiously. a few are not in the condition
| had hoped to have them for SATURDAYS
meet. This will, however, be the greatest
intercollegiate athletic event of its kind
ever held on the coast, and / miss my
guess if several records are not broken.
All other field days this year will be small
affairs-mere side shows-compared to
this annual competition between Berkeley
and Stanford"
If the weather is pleasant large crowd
OF enthusiasts will go up from here to
cheer on their representatives 1t was
estimated to-day that 200 Stanford stu
dents would be on hand to witness the
events.
Toney will have an easy time in the
hurdles, it is believed, but were he out of
them the contest would be very close
The 100-yard dash will be one of the pret-
tiest races of the day and Stanford should
make q fine showing in that event. The
pole vault will also be interesting. and if
Dole's bruised heel permits he will prob
ably break the coast record in that event.
The shot-put record should go by the board
and possibly that for the mile run. With
her crack riders in the bicycle race Berke-
ley should have this event, but not with
out very pretty ride.
From now on the Stanford trackmen will
do no work on the field or track, but con-
fine themselves to light gymnasium work
to keep in condition. A professional rub
Der has the men in charge, and everything
possible will be done toward putting them
at their best before Saturday. The train
ing table has been running for two weeks
and will be continued up to the day when
Stanford sends forth her TWENTY-FIVE
athletes to battle on track and field with
her adversary.

and punished his man severely. Lavack
was strong at the finish, considering the
punishment he received. Both men were

 This story, related a short time ago by an old signal service man, had enough of the occult and inexplicable in it to make it worthy of a place at a ,fagot party. on New Years eve or Halloween. Some years ago. said the weather man, q was stationed at Cheyenne, Wyo in charge of the weather bureau station My sleeping room was adjoin- ing the office One night about 1 o'clock I woke up from a sound sleep with a sudden start, as if a swift horseman had ridden up and had called me in voice that was familiar.
 T felt that I was imperativeiy needed somewhere, that something was wrong, and all I could do served to rather ln- crease than lesson the impression. l tried to lull myself to sleep again, but it was no use Then l went into the or flee and looked at the instruments, hno- ing them all right. l went back 10 my room, lit the gas and read till oclock' when I dozed away in spite Of dls- appointed feeling that remained III my mind, and the incident had made such an impression on me that it was uppermost in thought when I woke up. I took my morning observation and went over 10 the hotel to breakfast.
 "A party of strangers from Denver sat at my table and one of them had Den DaDor. During DredkldSl GC hiSii tioned in the course of conversation that "a weather bureau man from the east hao died at Denver in a hotel during the night before. He handed me the paper, and then, reading the item, understood at once the uncanny incident of the night before. My belief in mind telegraphy has been strengthened by it.
 "The man who had died at Denver was an old friend, whom I had not seen for some months, having formerly been sta tioned in the same town with him. Ine dispatch said that he had taken a trip westward, had reached his hotel and had fallen down unconscious and died soon after. I was firmly convinced that he had come west to pay me visit at Cheyenne, and by some mistake he took the wrong car, so that instead of switch ing off at the Junction and going to Chey- enne he was taken direct to Denver. l learned afterward that at the exact hour when he was taken sick in the Denver hotel I had been awakened at Cheyenne, many miles away, with the feeling that assistance was needed. The poor fellow in this hour of suffering had turned in- stinctiyely to me, the only friend he could think of in the vicinity, and his mind in it's last moments called for aid. am convinced that if he had come to Chey- enne, as he intended. and found me, that he would have lived longer. er."-Milwaukee Sentinel.
