IRRIGATION development means ines timable increase in wealth alike to State and individual; it means an in- crease of taxable property, lower rate of taxation, and the building up of communities with the increased de- mand which immigration naturally creates for merchandise and other supplies. A steady, healthy agricul- tural growth adds the greatest possi- ble wealth and stability to com munity.

The addition to the mill plant at Mammoth, of the Mammoth Collins Gold Mining company, is making good headway. The stone foundations are in for the new building. Lumber is arriving every day and the carpenters will be at work in few days on the woodwork of the building Fifty thous- and feet of square timbers, mostly l2xl2. are used every month in the mine. These timbers are shipped to Tucson from California and are then freighted to the mine, 8 distance of sixty-five miles, on wagons. The Mammoth mine has been using this amount of timber every month for over 8 year and indications are that 1t will continue to do so indefinitely.

THE letter of Mr. 0. B. Taft, in this issue of the TRIBUNE, deserves the at tention of farmers of the valley. If they could get hold of the canal, and run it as the Mormons do at Mesa and in Graham county, the Casa Graude valley would be a garden spot com pared to present conditions. We are giving no advice in the matter, but something has to be done-that is evident.

THE TRIBUNE extends its warmest sympathy to Mark Smith, whose wife died in Tucson last Monday after sew eral years illness He will never have occasion to reproach himself for lack of kindness to the sufferer, to whom death came as a blessed relief.
The Florence tribune., 1899-10-21

Mrs. Mark A. Smith entered upon the last sleep at 5 80 Monday morning. Word of her death spread rapidly around the city and many face wore sombre aspect and many heart was heavy with grief to-day, for Mrs. Smith was we'll liked and well loved by hundreds of Tucson people.

EXTENDED TO THE SEA,

Prof. Louis Renault Of the French dele

convention to naval warfare.
The report is, in the unanimous opin-

work. All the essential principles Of the
original scheme, as embodied in the re-
port, were agreed to, although several
amendments as to details we're sub
mitted. Capt. Alfred T. Mahan, Of the
United States delegation, will on Thurs
Gay submit an amendment defining the
status Of shipwrecked and wounded
men rescued accidentally by neutral
vessels.
The question was also considered of
replacing the Red Cross flag by one
without religious significance. the Turk
ish and siamese governments having
made declarations on this point. There
is no doubt that Prof. Renault's report
Will be adopted. The adaptation Of the
principles Of the Geneva convention to

ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
Another Cyclone, This Time at Herman.
Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., June ia tornado
struck the village of Herman this eve
ming, causing fearful destruction. A
conductor on the evening train from
Sioux City passed through the place
not long after the storm, and he says
not a building is left standing in the
town. He counted II dead bodies lying
in the streets.
The fatalities will undoubtedly run
up to 100, if not higher. A special train
has left Blair, the county seat ten
miles distant, for the scene of the dis
aster, carrying surgeons and all need
ed supplies.
Wires are down north Of Herman,
and it is not known how much further
the storm went, but reports are COM
ing in to the effect that a large portion
of the country north of Herman is laid
waste. The entire eastern portion of
Nebraska is being swept by a terrific
rain, wind and electric storm tonight
The streets of Omaha are flooded and
the play Of the lightning is fearful
, Advices received by the Bee up to II
o'clock tonight, state that every build
ing in the town is destroyed, except the
public schools and a small dwelling,
both of which are on the outskirts.
The forcec of the wind was terrific, as
scarcely one piece of any of the many
structures destroyed was left intact
The scene in the streets of the once
thriving and beautiful little town is one
of destruction.
The relief train from Blair arrived
about an hour after the storm, and the
work of picking up the wounded was
begun. In the course of an hour the
train pulled out for Blair with 95 in
jured on board. They were taken to-
Blair, as there is absolutely no place
left at Herman, after which treatment
can be administered.
All the citizens of Blair have thrown
open their houses to the wounded, and
the unfortunates are being cared for
by competent surgeons. Many of the
injured will die, but some of them re-
ceived but slight injuries. 1t is i'm
possible at this hour, owing to the con-
fusion. to ascertain the number of dead,
but IL are known to have been killed,
and the list will run very much higher.
Among the badly hurt is George B.
Clyde, the local station agent for the
Omaha road at Herman.
Superintendent Jaynes of the Omaha
road was ut Tekamah when he heard
of the disaster, and left at once for
Herman on a handcar, taking two ply
sicians along with him to assist in sue
coring the injured.

New York, June 13-The Old Domin
ion steamship Hamilton, which sailed
from New York today bound for Nor
folk and Newport News, ran into the
German steamship Macedonia off Long
Branch, and 1t is supposed that the
Macedonia subsequently sunk. Three
persons and nineteen of the crew were
saved and brought to this port.
A dense fog prevailed over the lower
bay and along the coast since / o'clock
this morning, with intervals of clearing
which permitted number of vessels to
proceed to sea. Taking advantage of
one of these clear spells the Hamilton,
Capt. Dole, sailed from her dock and
passed out to sea. The vessel was pro-
ceeding southwest with large number
of passengers, many of whom were dele
gates to a railroad convention at Old
Point Comfort.
At 5.55 this evening, while proceeding
at reduced speed and sounding her
whistle, the Hamilton suddenly ran into
a steamer which proved to be the Ger
man steamship Macedonia. striking her
on the starboard side abaft the engine
and cutting into her hull about twelve
feet. Everything on board both vessels
was in confusion as the shock was terri
| fic, but order was soon restored on
board the Hamilton and the crew were
soon at their quarters. The Macsdonia's
crew got out their boats as the dis
abled vessel drlfted away from the
| Hamilton.
Those taken on beard were three
passengers, Capt. Moses Walton. U. s.
", quartermaster; Bernard T. Hansen
and A. L. Elderly, and the following
crew: H. Mas, mate; II. Arnhardt,

be learned.

Twenty wounded men were carried
to a cascoe (native boat waiting on
the beach, which was rowed to Para
naque. 1t is impossible at present to
estimate the number of Filipino dead.
There are many dead bodies in the field
where the Americans traversed. This
battlefield was formerly the scene o.
several Of the greatest struggles be-
tween the Spanish and Filipino troops.
The Seapote was considered impreg-
nable, and hundreds of Spaniards and
Filipinos have been killed while fight
ing over the same bridge in former con-
tests for its possession. In June, 1897,
Gems. Pho Del Pillar and Trias turned a

CHRISTlANI SENTENCED.
Loubet's Assailant Given Four Years Of
Imprisonment.

Paris, June 19.-Baron de Christiani,
who assaulted President Loubet with a
cane at the Auteuil races, June 4, was
sentenced today in the correctional
police court to four years imprison-
ment and to pay the costs Of the trial.
The judges deliberated S5 minutes and
delivered judgment at 2.05 p. M, saying
that according to the articles of the
penal code under which Christian was
sentenced he was liable to from two to
five years imprisonment. There was a
general exclamation of surprise when
the sentence was announced, but the
prisoner heard it with no signs of emo
ton. The prisoner sat in the dock be-
sides a policeman, and only few ticket
holders and other privileged persons
were allowed in the courtroom, which
was almost filed with policemen and
municipal guards
D. Christiani who is above the med
ium height has an iron gray mustache,
wore an eye-glass and was elegantly
dressed in gray with light blue bow.
He is a handsome looking man, with
fresh complexion. The baron followed
the proceedings with keen interest, but
did not otherwise show his feelings.
Counsel for the baron pleaded that the
prisoners act was not a political one,
but that he acted spontaneously on the
impulse of the moment, losing his head
in the midst of the scene of excitement
around him.

vessel was seriously damaged. The last
seen of the Macedonia, she was rolling
and surging in the water and was evil

ter was smooth and as the Collision oc-
Cured but a short distance from Long
Branch, 1t is supposed the missing boat
attempted to make land on the New
Jersey coast.
The Hamilton proceeded to quaron-
tine, where the health officer ind ng
that the people from the Macedonia
were over the usual quarantine period
Of five days and were all we'll permit
ted them to proceed. At quarantine it
was said that the Hamilton's bow was
bent to port aud torn for a distance of
20 feet on the port side, while the plates
on the starboard side were curled and
twisted out of shape. The hole on the
port bow was about twenty feet in
length and fifteen in height. The stea-
mer was considerably damaged, but no
one on board was hurt.
The Macedonia is a chartered vessel
in the service Of the Ward Line and
flies the German flag. She sailed from
Manzanillo May rs, and Cienfuegos,

cargo of sugar. The Hamilton IS the

ALCOHOL NUTRITIOUS.
Results of Prof. Atwater's interesting
Experiments in Chemistry.

MiddletoWn, Conn, June bat the
meeting Of the Middletown Scientific
Association this evening Prof. w. o.
Atwater Of Wesleyan University re-
ported the results of the experiments
upon the nutrftivs effects Of alcohol,
lately carried out under his direction
with a man in the respiration calOri-
meter.
Pure alcohol was administered with
water and coffee. The alcohol was
taken with an ordinary diet Of meat,
bread. butter. milk, sugar and the like.
The amount per day was equal to about
two and one-half ounces Of absolute
alcohol, about as much as would be
contained il five or six ounces or three
average glasses Of whisky.
Three important results were OBJ
served. First, the alcohol was oxodized,
/. e., burned as completely as bread,
meat or any other food. Second, in the
oxidation, all Of the potential energy Of
the alcohol was transformed into heat
and muscular power. In other words,
the body made the same use OF the
energy Of the alcohol as that OF sugar
and other ordinary food materials.
Third, the alcohol protected the mater
iaI Of the body from consumption. just
as effectively as the corresponding
amounts Of sugar and starch. That is
10 say, whether the body was at rest or
at work, It held its own just as Wen
with the one as with the other.
