THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION WILL

Ell Paso, Texas. July 3.-JThe internal
tionM boundary commission, which has
been In session here for the past two or
three months. adjourned today and Gem
eral Arson Mills left for Washington. The
recent overflow OF the Rio Grande caused
the river at this point to divide itself into
two channels; one half the river Is running
in tho old channel and the other half has
cut out n new channel which leaves a
few hundred acres of the city of Ell Paso
on an island between the two streams.
which come together again below the city.
AT their meeting today the boundary COM
mission instructed Its engineers to make
n survey of the river and boundaries below
the city with Il View to turning the entire
river through an island now on the Mex
lean side. This would straighten out the
stream and by giving the water straight
headway avoid floods in the future.
Judge Bantz at Silver City, N. NJ. hand
cd down decision today dissoving the in
junction restraining the Rio Grande Dam
and lrrigatlng company from building tho
Elephant Butte dam. The case will be-
appealed.
Citizens of Juarez. Mex, are indignant
over tho decision and charge that It Is In
violation OF Mcxicos treaty with the
United state inasmuch as the treaty recog-
nizes the river as a Davtgable stream.
They say II the dam is built Juarez Will
DO without ever drinking water.

He Knew an Honest Man.

This Is one on District Attorney Back
us Of Kings county. He tells it himself.
II went to Poughkeepsie once with an
other lawyer and detective in plain
clothes, who was q orting prisoner
who was to be resentenced there. The
prisoner was shackled to the detective.
They sat in the seat ahead of that occu-
pied by the other lawyer and myself.
"The train stopped 10 minutes at
Poughkepesie for lunch, and in order
not to expose the manacled prisoner to a
curious crowd I suggested that we sit
IN the car for a few minutes after the
train was stopped, allow the passengers
to alight and go to the lunchroom and
then go quietly to a carriage, which
awaited u.s. The others agreed, and we
sat still.
IA nervous passenger who had rid
den In the same car with us from New
York and who did not know that one Of
us was condemned criminal, wished
to get out for lunch and thought it adj
visable to ask some one to keep an eye
on his hand baggage in his absence.
"He hesitated until he saw only four
of us left. Then he approached and
looked keenly at each Of us in turn.
After a close scrutiny of our counte-
nances he leaned over, tapped the pris-
oner on the shoulder and said:
will you be good enough, sir, to
keep an eye on my baggage while get
a bite to eat?' New York Herald.

Travelling is Extra. Hazardous

If the tourist is unprovided with some
medicinal resources. Changes of tenn
perature, food and water of an unaccus-
toned or unwholesome quality. and a
route that lies in the tropics or other re-
gions where malaria exists, are each and
all fraught with danger to one who has
been improvident enough to neglect a
remedial safeguard. The concurrent tes-
timony of many voyagers by land and
sea establishes the fact that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters enable those who use it
to encounter hazards of the nature refer
red to with impunity; and that, as a
medicine adapted to sudden and expected
exigencies, it is peculiarly valuable. Dis
orders of the liver, the bowels and the
stomach, fever and ague, rheumatism and
nervous ailments, brought on by expos
ure, are among the maladies to which
emigrants, travellers and new settlers are
most subject. These and others yield to
the action of the Bitters promptly and
completely.

Father BOlles,

The itinerant preacher was one of the
features of our early American life. Many
anecdotes are told of these stern old gos-
peters who travelled on foot or on horse
back many miles yearly from one scattered
flock to another in the wilderness, giving
personal counsel and preaching goodness
of life"
One Of the most noted of these rough
but earnest men was Alexander Bolles,
who preached in three states among the
Allegheny mountains. Father Bolles, !"
as he was called, was much tormented by
the influence of one John Rogers, Jersey
man, who openly taught atheism and the
adjustment of marriage. On one occasion
while holding q meeting in the woods in
Virginia young man and woman pushed
their way up to the stump which served as
a pulpit The man, interrupting the SER
mon, said def1antly, "I'd like you to know
that we are Rogerines."
The old man looked at him over his
spectacles and waited.
