home is at Wiota, la. few nights ago
they broke into the postofice at that place
and appropriated lot of stamped envelopes
and lead pencils. The parents OF the boys
discovered the stun In their possession, and
after a little questioning induced them to
tell the truth about the matter The prop
erty was returned to the postmaster, and that
individual, concluding that the boys stood in
need OF greater punishment than they were
likely to receive at the hands of their pa
rents, filed an information before local
justice OF the peace, and had them arrested
upon warrants charging postofiice robbery.
Before the case came to trial the postmaster
developed another idea which led him to the
conclusion that country justice was not
the proper official to hear the case, and he
wrote to the federal authorities here. Their
arrest by the federal officer was the re-
suit
Commissioner Steadman heard the evil
dence yesterday, and concluded not to dis
pcsc OF the cases until he had consulted
Judge Wcolson when he arrives here next
week. The boys were accompanied by their
fathers. One of the Taylors was able to put
up the required bond to secure the tempo
rary liberty of his son, but the other was
unable to do so. The boy, however, was
taken to his home by Deputy Marshal Eller,
and will remain in his custody until he Is
wanted here. The inquiry yesterday devel
oped the fact that the boys did not break

AN ENGINEERING FEAT.
Holland to Reclaim Many Square
Miles of the ZuyIer Zee.

Holland to Reclaim Many Square
Miles of the Zuyder Zee.
Holland has determined upon a gigantic
engineering feat-the reclaiming of 7S7
square miles of land now lying under the
Zuyder Zee. Eight hundred years ago, re-
lates the Literary Digest, all of Holland con-
tanned but 600 square miles of land, or less
than one-third the area of the state of Della
ware. Gradually, by means of great dykes,
land has been reclaimed until the present
area is nearly $4,000 square miles. This is
more than twenty times the original area.
The new work involves the construction of
dam twenty-seven miles in length. The
line will run from point near Helder. which
is north of Amsterdam to the island of
Wieringen. Then from the east end OF the
island. which is ten miles long, connecting
at a point just south of Workum. The dyke
will measure thirty-ive feet at the base
tapering to eight feet at the top.
The first task Is the driving of two rows
of piles on either side of the proposed dyke,
forming a passage fifty feet wide Against
these there will be packed bags of sand un-
til two parallel embankments are raised
above the sea level. The water will then be
pumped out of this arena and a dry canal
formed from shore to shore. Here on the
bed of the sea the dyke will be built of solid
masonry. Behind the wall VIII be a bank of
earth, bound with willow twigs in a series
of basket-work. For the drainage of this
great basin colossal windmills are to be con-
structed, 200 feet in height, with arms sew
enty-fve feet long. These will raise the
water into the network of canals which will
cover the reclaimed area. Nor is this the
end of the task The bottom of the sea Is
sand of little fertility. Top soil and fertil-
izers will be brought from every Dutch col
ony and in two or three generations the
depressions will be brought to the level of the
canals. Where once the sea flowed unre-
stricted there will be green gardens and
farms, dotted with cottages and towns and
canals covered with heaviy-laden barges.
Holland will have spent $50, ,OO0, 900 in COM
pleting this enterprise, but she will have
added 5000 600 900 to her national wealth and
will have demonstrated afresh the moral
greatness of a people who, in the face of
such tremendous natural disadvantages have
the patience to compel earth to yield her

JEFFERSON CITY, No. Jan. Ex-Governor
Stones last message. presented in each

During the last three years several OF
these crimes have been committed. Trains
have been stopped and express cars riaed,
and on one occasion q conductor was shot
and seriously wounded | care neither more
nor less for railroads and express companies
than for other corporations or citizens but
the crime is one which calls for more than
ordinary attention and the necessity for its
suppression is so great that 1t should be

is crime perpetrated by masked despera-
does, who go prepared to commit murder, II
1t is deemed necessary either to success or
escape. 1t surpasses all others in its det-
rimental effect on the state When such
crimes occur with frequency an impression
becomes wi iely current that life and prop
erty are unsafe within the jurisdiction where
they prevail. 1t Is a crime which should be
absolutely eXtirpated. That cannot be ac-
complished by pententary sentences. The
thrtyeighth general assembly alive to the
Importance of the subject, made the crime
a capital offense. The infiction Of
capital punishment however, was left to the
discretion of the jury. Several convictions
have been had since the enactment OF the
law referred to, but only penitentiary SEN
tences imposed. In my opinion the men who
perpetrate this crime should be hanged, and
l believe the law should be amended
as to provide that every person convicted of
il should suffer death. The governor should
also be authorized to offer a reward of at
least $1,000 for the arrest and conviction Of
any person guilty OF the offense. The meas
ure propose is severe, but this crime should
not be permitted in the state, and milder

telegram in The Bee, carrying the in

a good deal of interest at the Commercial
club yesterday.
An effort was made some time ago to
secure this office for Omaha. but after
pretty thorough investigation the committee
to which the matter was referred decided
that the Iowa statesmen had too strong a
pull and that 1t would be useless TO pursue
the matter further. Now that a possibility
Is said to exist the matter will probably be
taken up and all possible support furnished
to the Nebraska representatives. Omaha IL
said to be the natural distributing point for
the territory that is now covered by the
Des Moines office. and from business
standpoint is entitled to the Office AS the
office employs upwards of fifty people and
covers a territory consisting of Nebraska,
Iowa and parts of Kansas and the Dakotas,
its acquisition is of considerable Importance.

FAVOR FEEDING-IN-TRANsI RATES.
Town Railroad Freight Agents En-
IOrsc the Fnrmers' Plan.

DES MONIES, Ia, Jan. S.-(Special Tele-
gram)-A conference of local and division
freight agents, representing most of the
leading railroads of Iowa, was held here
today to consider the proposition OF feeding
in-transit rates for live stock. The proposi-
tion is that the roads allow low rates with
feeding in transit privileges on stock so
that cheap stock can be brought in from the
west and southwest to eat up Iowa's sur
plus corn. The state has lost half its hogs
by cholera and is very short of cattle. Corn
and other grains are so cheap that they are
hardly worth moving. The demand is for
stock to consume the grain
The railroad men discussed the matter and
decided unanimously that the proposal was
good one. They will send delegation to
Chicago, accompanied by representatives of
the Iowa Railroad commission, which has al
ready endorsed the proposal, and representa-
tives OF the Iown farmers, to urge that the
rates be granted at once.
1t was admitted that careful restrictions
will have to be arranged but the general
plan is regarded as a solution OF the present
business troubles of the state.

inntion OF siFsSin wyoming.
CHEYENNE Wy6,, Jan. s.-(Special)-
Captain Hiram NJ. ChIttenden Of the en-
gineer. corps OF the United States army
is visiting Wyoming and Colorado, arrang-
ing the preliminaries for surveys during
the coming season OF site in each state
for storage reservoir to be constructed by
the general government to determine in a
practical way the desirabiity OF irrigation
OF arid lands In the west by government
aid. The appropriation, for these surveys
was secured at the last session of congrc--
by the Wyoming and Colorado senator's,
who succeeded in having the appropria-
tion included In the river and harbor bill.
No act of congress has aroused so much
interest in this state as the one making
this appropriation aud the engineer In
charge of the survey, Captain Chittenden,
Is receiving suggestions Of feasible sites
In many parts Of the state. One of these
sites is In the famous Big Horn basin OF
northern Wyoming. The residents of that
region want the government to build stor-
age reservoir near the head of Owl creek,
tributary of the Big Horn river. 1t is
stated by them that at one point on the
creek the stream flows through a canyon
1000 feet deep. Where 1t emerges the val
ley widens until 1t is more than a mile
across and continues at this width for sew
Gral miles, Wnen II again closes, FORMING
a second canyon several hundred feet deep
and very narrow. BY building a dam In
the lower canyon an immense reservoir
would be secured with capacity to irrigate
the forty miles OF fine farming lands which
form the Valley OF the stream from the
mouth of the lower canyon to the Big Horn
river.
During the past year a large number of
settlers have taken up land in the Owl
creek valley, the land being as well adapted
to agriculture as any In the Big Horn basin.
II the waters of the stream were impounded
distance of forty miles. by actual settlers
would follow at once The Big Horn basin
residents will endeavor to have an examina-
tion OF this site made before a final Sc
lection is made.
The residents of Laramie are taking steps
to have a reservoir site on the Big Lara
mie river considered by the government
engineer. 1t is claimed by the Laramie
people that preliminary surveys of the site
made by local engineers show that the res
ervoir can be constructed at a very small
outlay and that it will form one of the
largest reservoirs in the west. The basin
which is proposed as a reservoir is eight
miles long, two miles wide and forty feet
deep, and would contain 1900, 900, 900 cubic
feet Of water. The supply would be secured
from the Big Laramie river the flow OF
which in the wet season is 199 cubic feet
per second. The proposed reservoir is but
five miles from the city of Laramie.
complete survey and estimate will be made
by the city of Laramie for the inspection
of Captain Chittenden in order that the
site may be given proper consideration.

LEFT A TRAIL OF SCANDAL BEHIND
Ex-NebrasIsn Preacher with Sensn-
tiOnal Record.

POMEROY, Wash, Jan. S.-Rev. p. James
Lyons Young, pastor of the Chris
tian church at this place, has dis
appeared to escape legal prosecution
for performing marriage ceremonies
without authority and avoid the disgrace OF
public dismissal from his pulpit. Dapper,
smooth-tongued and pleasant, Young arrived
here last October with a letter from the
Baptist church OF Ponca, Neb., represent
ing himself as a single man. He became
active in social circles and immensely popu-
lar, especially with women. He was active
in proselyting and made valuable acquisi-
tions to the church. Recently it developed
that Young's wife, Mary E. Lyons, resided at
Roxbury, Mass. They also located her at
torneys at Sioux Falls, S. D., who were re-
sisting a divorce suit brought by Young in
Moody county, South Dakota. His photo
graph has just been received, accompanied
by aftidavits tracing Young, first under the
name of Lyons as an Episcopal minister in
Roxbury, Mass, where 1t is set forth he
deserted his wife and ran away to Canada
with a Mrs. OBrien. Then he is shown
to have been in Canada as Catholic
priest, then as single man and pastor of
the Episcopal church, where he is said
to have created a scandal.
