MEASUREMENT OF sEEPAGg.
Professor Carpenter VIII visit the Arkan.
sas Valley to Determine what Return
Mnter IIoMs ItaclS to ihc Kiycr.

The agriculturiSts and others inter
cstcd in the Arkansas valley have for Il
long time been extremely dpSiroIs Of
asrcrtaining just how much water rp-
turns TO the river from secpuge from
the diiches. The Importance of this
measurement TO the people of the val
ley can scarcely he over-esthnated 1t
is comparatively easy to measure the
amount of water which issues from
the Grand canon. or what amount l.
taken from The river at the head of Il
canal. but II Is not so easy 10 calcu-
late how much may he depended upon
for the use Of the farmers at any given
point along the line of the ditch, n mat
ter of grave necessity. The water
claimed or diverted by bitches in the
Arkansas valley is so nearly up to the
average supply that the question of
return water will become one of Lead
ing Importance In determining tn,
equitable rights of bitches and also ii.
determining the possible duty of water
for the entire stream.
Heretofore when the subject has
been rs 'sed the only means of rStlmat-
ing tie seepngr has been by compari-
son with asccrtaincd results in the
northern part of the state. and Us the
tenuilionS OF Inc ARKANSAS valley are
entirely different from those in north
crn Colorado, such comparisons are
very far from accurate. The attention
of l.. q. Carpenter. irrigation engineer
of the Agricultural College. has been
frequently called to the necessity for
this measurement. and recently he has
been urged by e. *. McHarg. secic-
iary Of the Besscmer Irrigation Ditch
Company: i. Il. Sharp of Pueblo, A.
l.. Kellogg of Rocky Ford and several
ether gentlemen interested in the mat.
ter. and at meeting of the executive
committee of the state board of agri-
culture, held at Fort Collins on Monday
evening. it WIS decided that the work
should be done and Professor Carpen-
ter was directed to make the necessary
measurements.
The work Is to be commenced Mt
once. and the results will be published
in Professor Carpenters report in con

are generally less efficient than ln cit

village hoodlum' Professor Norton
suggested the organization Of a body
of Iaw-abiding citizens In each village
or township to give definite support TO
the constituted authorities in suppress

this it is evident from other parts Of the

to the fact that for some twenty years

cality in the government Of kharkov

success in the case OF feyers- The pow
der Is prepared in the following way.
Live crabs are poured over with the
ordinary whisky until they get asleep
then they are put on a bread pan in
hot oven. thoroughly dried and pull
verized. and the powder passed through
a fine sieve. Ore dose, a teaspoonful,
is generally sufficient TO cure the in
termittent fever; ia very obstinate
cases a second dose is required. Each
dose Is invariably preceded by glass
of aloe brandy as a purgatiye. The
powder is used in that locality in pre-
ference to quinine. So says the jour
nal. We will not vouch for it.

REPUDIATES BRYAN

Prof. Bateman of Maine Says That He is
 Guilty of Bribery and Political Forgery.
 Lewiston Me, June 21.-Professor I. c. Bateman of Auburn, who was the candidate of the peoples party of Maine for governor last year, and who is a, leader of the middle-of-the-road forces in New England, to-day made public two important charges against William J. Bryan, the democratic can didate for president in last falls elec- tion. Professor Bateman says that Populist Congressman Freeman Knowles of South Dakota, while on his recent trip to his old home in Skoweha- gan, Me. gave out the information that MT. Bryan's recent gift to the national populist committee was made with the distinct understanding that no action against fusion should be taken by the peoples party before the next conven- tion.
 This Professor Bataman says is noth- ing more or less than direct bribery. Professor Bateman also says that Bry an has appended his (Bateman's) name to Senator Aliens letter of notification given out last September. Bateman was secretary of the notification conn mittee, but did not sign the letter in question. He says that Bryan's action in printing his name to the letter in his new book is an act of political forgery. Professor Bateman Is a delegate to the middle-of- the-road national conference at Nashville, Tenn, on July f. He says he will bring these matters before that body.

IRISH COMMONERS PROTEST.
Vote Against Congratulatory Address to
 Queen Victoria.


 London, June 21-The house of com
 mons was crowded to-day when the first lord of the treasury and govern ment leader MT. A. J. Balfour, moved, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the liberal leader, seconded an address of congratulation to the queen upon the sixtieth anniversary of her accession to the throne.
 MT. John Dillon. chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, protested in vehement language. He explained that the attitude of himself and his party was that they would not vote in favor of any amendment, but would vote l against the adoption of the address, in | which the Irish people could not share. MT. John Redmond, the Parnellite | leader, amid laughter from the con- servatives and unionists, moved an amendment to the address and caused an animated scene.
 | Mir. Redmond protested against Great Britain's rule of Ireland and asked the house to adopt an amendment to the i effect that it deemed it to be it's duty ! to place on record that during the sixty | years of her majesty's reign, Ireland has suffered grievously from famine, depopulation, poverty and the contin-
 ued suspension of constitutional liber- tiesy with the result that the Irish are l dscontented and disaffected and unable | to join in the celebration. Mir James OKelly, Parnellite, mem | Der for North Roscommon, seconded ! the motion.
 When the amendment was put the anti-Parnellites left the house, but they | returned for the main question, and on | the speaker saying: "The ayes have | it." the anti-Parnellites shouted loudly:
 ''The noes have It," whereupon vote | had to be taken.
 l MT. Balfour then moved that the ad- dress be presented to the queen by the whole house, to which MT. John J. | Clancy, Parnellite, member for the
 north division of Dublin county. said | that after what had occurred the mo- ton was absurd and an absolute un- | truth.
 | A vote was then taken and it result | ed in the adoption of MT. Balfour's mo- 1 ton by All ayes to Al noes.

 New York, June 21-The trial of the directors of the American Tobacco company was continued to-day. Peter Hauptman, a wholesale tobacco jobber of St. Louis, was the first witness put on the stand. He was questioned re- garding his talk with Secretary Browne.
 ''The result of the conference" said MT. Haptmann, was that I told MT. trust to dictate to me as to what goods I should sell. After I had the trouble with the trust about selling Admiral cigarettes I could not get any more goods from the American Tobacco com pany. I needed their brands of cigar cites in my business and tried to get them from other dealers. In a little while found that all the boxes were numbered 50 that the trust could find from whom I secured tn l.''
 J. A. Ressler was recalled to produce an agreement he received from the American Tobacco company and was asked to sign. He stated that Josiah Browne had called on him and invited him to 'come in'' At that time MT. Ressler said he was selling the Ameri- can Beauty cigarette and he had a sup ply on hand. He so informed Mr. Browne.
 Well take them from you at cost price," said MT. Browne.
 You're a bitter enemy of the Ameri- can Tobacco company" began MT, Choate, sternly
 Not at all.'
