COL. W. R. KELLY DEAD.

Early this morning Coll W. r.
Kelly died at his residence, corner
sixth and Hazel streets, after a
long and very painful illness-for
many months he had suffered from
appendecitis-was patient, resigned.
At the time of his death Col.
Kelly was 63 years of age-was born
at Walnut Hills, Lafayette county,
Feb. %, 1896 In early life he To-
Gated near Bright Star, now in this
county, and was married to Miss
Martha E. Larry Dec. 28, 1854 In
November 1873, he connected him
self with the Christian Church, and
since has led a Christian life His
wife and six children survive him
four daughters and two sons, all
married. At the opening of the
war between the states, he got up
company at Bright Star, and
went to the front as captain; was
later made Lieutenant ColoneI-was
gallant soldier in the Lost
Cause. " When Miller county was
first organized he was made circuit
clerk 10 1875, in which responsible
office he served for ten years with
great credit to himself as a pains
taking, conscientious servant of the
people-at end of his term county
was entirely out of debt.
In 1898 to 1897 Colonel Kelly was
our postmaster under Cleveland's
appointment, and his duties in this
position we're satisfactorily dis
charged.
Was one of the pioneers in this
county and city, and few if any of
her citizens have done more than
he, for its welfare and upbuilding;
will be sadly missed in all the walks
of life.
Col. Kelly was a man of strong
convictions of character and never
hesitated to boldly express himself
when duty demanded-always for
the right as his conscience dictated.
Although very courageous man,
and very plain spoken, he had
kind and generous nature, and his
many acts of true charity speaks
volumes for his Christian character
In his death Miller county and Tex
arkana has sustained a great loss,
for he was ever alive to the best
interests of both-he has gone to
his reward, and his works will follow
after Peace to his memory With
a host of friends, we can only ten

GENERAL JOE WHEELER.
Efforts Being Made to Have Him
Run for Governor of Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), May 30.-The
News" to-day says: With almost one
accord the newspapers in General Joe
Wheeler's Congressional district have
united on a cali for him to enter the
race for Governor, and heal the disrup-
ton that now exists in the Democratic
party in Alabama. The cali has been
taken up by other papers in Central and
Southern Alabama, and it is said that
Wheeler might be induced to enter the
field. if he is not sent to the Philippines.
If he ran he would be nominated and
elected beyond a doubt Even the
Populists and Republicans will scarcely
oppose him. Wheeler's election as Gov
ernor, it is said, will insure him an
eventual seat in the United States Sen
ate.
The News expresses the opinion
that General Wheeler will not accept
the Governorship.

Affirmed.
A city. having allowed its water COM
pany for nearly thirty years to divert a
certain large quantity of water and to
expend vast sums of money upon the
faith of a continuance of the right to
take said water, cannot withdraw IT'S
consent within the period of the con-
tract. (Los Angeles City Water Com
pany VS. City of Los Angeles, Fed. Rep.
SS, 745)
When it is affirmed that contract
made by a municipality contemplates
that he whose money builds and con-
-structs and therefore establishes his
title to property shall surrender hls
title and possession without payment,
or even the amount thereof determined,
the language compelling such a con-
struction must be clear and imperative.
Held. therefore, that a city which has
entered into a contract with wafer
company whereby the water works ana
improvements are to be returned to the
CITY at the end of the contract term,
upon payment by the city of their as
certained value, has no right to take
possession of such property without
payment or tender of payment therefor,
unless such is the clear and imperative
language of the contract itself.
The city of Los Angeles has only the
right to the use of such an amount of
the water of the Los Angeles River as
is necessary to supply the wants OF its
citizens and of the municipality; 1t has
not the right of riparian owner To
have the water of the stream flow as
it is accustomed to flow without any
regard to it's use. 1t is entitled to the
use of the water only when 1t is in a
position to use it, and cannot recover
damages for its diversion except when
it is in a position to use it. Therefore
it has no power to interfere with the
contract between it's water company
and the rate-payers, and appropriate to
itself the benefit of the contract. Hav-
ing no such right it cannot, through the
appointment of a receiver prevent the
water company from enjoying the fruits
of it's contract.
