L.
Sensational Speech of Chairman Waterman
of Senate Committee.

Brings Out,Protcsts from

DES MONIES, Jan 22.-(Special Tele-
gram)- appropriations committee of the
two houses held Joint meeting today, at
which third of the members of the assem-
bly, were present The meeting was sensa-
tional. The members OF both houses have
been protesting against the charge that
ovorappropriations of the regular session
man Waterman of the senate committee
presided and made a speech, in which he
assailed State Auditor Mccarthy and the
executive council bitterly He said that
last winter the auditor in making estimates
of prospective revenues, estimated them
$34O 900 too high for 1897, and at the same
time forgot the old appropriation of $4,000
for the Cherokee Insane asylum, made by the
previous general assembly which must be
paid out of the 1896 revenues. He laid all
the blame at the door of the auditor and
showed that the last session appropriated
only about $4,000 more than the auditor
estimate.
Then he turned to the executive council.
He showed that the last session cut from
S2S 00J to $4,000 the appropriation for state
house janitors. Janitors were PAID $40
month when they could be had at $5O and
too many were employed. The cut was
made by the legislature, but the executive
council after the session adjourned, made
no changes whatever, and after eXhaustlng
the appropriation paid janitors out OF the
custodian's fund, which is under the coun-
ellis control, thus undoing the enorts OF the
legislature The speech was received with
great enthusiasm.

unwarranted intrusion into the life of an
other. The result as it is contended, would
be perfect unhappiness for both
This view, IL must be admitted, says the
Washington Times, Is held by q great many
thoughtful persons. but wrongly, as we
must beg the privilege OF insisting, The
question might first be asked whether
man of 40 is really old, or whether he is so
old that his habits are really fixed beyond
reform. We insist that they are not, and
this is the truer IL the light OF the womans

love, honor and obey him whose offers Of
companionship for life have been rewarded
with her own unspeakably sweet compan-
ionship for life. the same boatitC conditions

would have taken this all"importaut step
with deliberation, would have chosen of her
own accord to be contented by bearing and
forbearng, by finding In the continued beauty

Those who contend that marriage after
40 is unwise or that marriage at any age
or under any conditions is unwise, so the
conditions provide mutual respect and love,
and a fair income with which to provide
the ordinary comforts fail to grasp the true
significance of the most sacred rite and
mark of civilization. We cannot guess what
the judgment may be as to the merits OF
the discussion in New York but in beau
tifu, good humored and happy city like
Washington there can be but one answer.
Marriage under the circumstances just ad-
verted to must ever be transcendentally fine
at 40, or at any age above 22.

HOW FRANCIS BEAT MouLLAGH.
A Page "Ad" Took Away the Editors
Breath.

When David r. Francis, now secretary of
the interior, was candidate for governor OF
Missouri, relates the Chicago Record his
friends succeeded in using the Globe-Demo-
crat to further his chances OF election Nc
Cullagh had turned on "Our Dave" as the
secretary is known in st. Louis, with his
short paragraphs with telling effect, and
Francis friends got together and concocted
a scheme to offset the editorial work of the
paper. They wrote out display advertise
ment and at a late hour of the Saturday
morning Immediately preceding the election
of 1883 took 1t to the counting room of the
Globe-Democrat. The clerk on duty gave
the copy a casual looking over and without a
word accepted it. 1t occupied a full page
and at length and in glowing terms set forth
the great business capacity and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. Francis TO occupy the
gubernatorial chair of Missouri"
That advertisement cauced the biggest
row ever witnessed In a newspaper office In
st. Louis. When Editor McCullagh found
what had been done he ragged and stormed
for a week. The fast mail had distributed
the paper all over Missouri before McCullagh
had his attention called to 1t. He left his
quarters at the Southern hotel on a trot.
Reaching the corner of Fourth and Pine
streets, he found the streets and the office OF
the Globe-Democrat jammed with people,
who were clamoring to stop their suhscrip-
tions. McCulagh had filed column on
the editorial page with "squibs" strongly
opposing Francis and advocating the re-
publican nominee, but the big display "ad" OF
Francis friends was the first thing seen on
opening the paper.
Mr.. McCullagh at once issued an extra, in
which he deprecated the oversight by which
the advertisement had found Its way into
the paper but Il was some time before tn"
Globe-Democrat office recovered It's equil-
brium.

THE CANAL OF JOSEPH.
As Useful as Ever at the End of Four
ThOusnnl Icnrs.

How many of the engineering works of
the nineteenth century will there be in ex-
istence in the year 6OOO? Very few, we
fear, says the Engineering Magazine, and
still less these that will continue in the
far-off ages to serve a useful purpose. Yet
there is at least one great undertaking con-
ceived and executed by an engineer which
during the space of 1000 years has never
ceased it's Office, on which the life of a
fertile province absolutely depends TODAY.
We refer to the Bahr Joussuf-the canal of
Joseph-built according to tradition by the
son of Jacob, and which constitutes not
the least OF the many blessings he con-
ferred on Egypt during the years of his
prosperous rule
This canal took its rise from the Nile at
Asiut, and ran almost parallel with it for
nearly $50 miles, creeping along under the
western cliffs of the Nile valley, with many
bend and winding until at length it
gained an eminence, as compared with the
river bed, which enabled IL to turn west
ward through narrow pass and enter a
district which was otherwise shut off from
the fertilizing floods on which all vegetation
in Egypt depends. The northern end stood
seventeen feet above low Nile, while at
the southern end it was at an equal eeva-
tion with the river. Through this cut ran
a perennial stream, which watered a prov
fertility and supporting a large population.
In the time of the annual food a great part
of the canal was under water, and then
the rivers current would rush in a more
direct course into the pass, carrying with
1t the rich silt which takes the place Of
manure and keeps the soil in state of con-
stant productiveness
All this, with the exception of the tradi-
tions that Joseph built it, can be verified
today, and 1t is not mere supposition or
rumor. Until eight years ago 1t was firmly
believed that the design has always been
limited to an irrigation scheme, larger, no
doubt, than that now in operation, as ehown
by the traces of abandoned canals and by
tho slow aggregation of waste water which
had accumulated in the Birket e Quorum
but still essentially the same in character
Many accounts have been written by Greek
and Roman historians such as Herodotus
Strabo, Mutianus and Plny, and repeated in
monkish legends or portrayed In the maps
OF the middle ages which agreed with the
folklore Of the district These tales eX-
plained that the canal dug by the ancient
Israelites served to carry the surplus waters
of the Nile into an extensive lake lying south
of tho Fayoum, and so large that it not only
modified the climate, tempering the arid
winds of the desert and converting them into
halmy airs which nourisned the vines and
the olives into a fulness and fragrance un-
known in any part of the country, but also
added 10 the food supply of the land such
immense quantities of fish that the royal
prerogativc OF the right of piscary at the
great weir was valued at $3.50 900 annually
This lake was said to be 450 miles round
and to be ravigated by a fleet of vessels
and the whole circumference was the scene
of industry and prosperity.

TRY TO INTEREST RAILROADS
Young Mems Christian Association Finds a
Willing Supporter.
OFFICIALS SAY THE INFLUENCE is GOOD
One Company Gives Substantial Sup
port to other Associations on Its
Iowa nLincs-Confcrcncc to lie
Held In Chicago.

Several months ago, at the suggestion OF
Secretary Coker, the board of directors OF
the Young Mems Christian association took
up the matter of interesting railway man
ayers in the work of the Council Bluffs as
socation. Mr. Coker and the other men
who have been carrying the burden of the
association upon their shoulders during the
hard times were first led to consider the
advisability of appealing to the railways
by the knowledge of the work undertaken
by the Northwestern Railway company at
prominent points along its Iowa lines AT
Boone, the headquarters of the western Iowa
division, the railway company has taken
deep interest in the work, with view of es-
tab.ishing the association on firm basis
and insurng the erection of a building Dur
ing the year the company has practically sus-
tained the association at that point, Whlle
taking the same interest in 1t in several
other cities on its Iowa lines. Several con-
ferences have been held by the local Young
Mems Christian association men with the
Northwestern officials, in which they nave
received a great deal of encouragement. the
officials have entered heartily into the scheme
OF interesting their trainmen, particularly
those who are compelled to spend large
portion of their time in stations where they
are denied their usual home associations,
In the work. In a letter to one of the local
men who has been corresponding with par
ties at railway headquarters, the official
frankly declares the best service the com
pany gets from its trainmen is given on di-
visions where the men are surrounded by
Young Mems Christian association influences
and where the work of the association has
become popular among raiawy men. Cor
respondenCs has been carried on with the
officers of other railway companies whose
lines reach Council Bluffs, and a uniform
expression in favor of the work has been
received from all. The announcement that
there will be a general meeting of railway
officials at the Auditorium in Chicago on
February for the purpose of inaugurating
a movement to include all the railway com
panies has created a good deal of interest
here and the directors have about decided
to send a representative to urge the impor-
tance of strengthening and broadening the
work in Council Bluffs, where many train
crews are required to spend much of their
idle time. The Chicago meeting will be ad-
dressed by Marvin Hughtt of the Chicago
g. Northwestern road, NJ r.. ingalls, of the
Chesapeake e. Ohio. Charles M. Hayes of
the Grand Trunk, j. j. McCook of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe and other promi-
nont railway officials, as well as by Il. c..
Morse, international secretary and G. j.
Hicks, international railroad secretary of
the Young Mems Christian association.
Aid from the railroads would be timely
and very acceptable to the local associa-
ton.

It is headed by a strong statement OF the sit

inconvenenced by their distance from

tho present time they must either get their
mail in Omaha or Council Bluffs. There are
$50 people who live in that portion of the
suburb thrown into Iowa by the decision OF
the supreme court, locating The boundary line

equally benefited. Word was received from
Washington yesterday that greatly encour-

Martin of Omaha is aiding them in every way
possible. There are several candidates for

not yet grown very warm. The salary is eX-

SIOUX CITY, Jan. 22.-(Special Teegram.)
An ugly feeling has been growing in this
city among the victims of the failed banks
and for a time it was feared that some of
the officers of banks suspected of irregular
banking would receive personal violence at
the hands of infuriated, people. A commit
tee of depositors has been investigating the
affairs of the Sioux City Savings bank and
has found out that much of the security
listed as good is worthless and some of it is
apparently bogus Yesterday the cashier,
Edward p. Stone, left the city, presumably
to go to his farm in Nebraska, which has
just been attached by the receiver, and as
he did not return today warrant was
sworn out for his arrest. He is charged with
em5ezzlement and cheating. His attorney
says he went to New York to accept posi-

return. Charges of fraud and Irregularities
have been made against others connected

place all cities under the general statute
in the process of revising the code. The
special charter gives the city a greater de-
gree Of self government but there is always
doubt as to whether certain laws and decls-

of the charter would serve the legislatures
