ELECTRICITY IN MINING.
Cripple Creek Leads the World in the
Application of the Science.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Feb. 27.-Mr.
NJ. A. Oudin, of Schenectady, N. Y, an
authority on electrical application in
mining, is visiting Cripple Creek and
other Colorado camps. He says:
Cripple Creek is the best equipped
camp in the world. 1t is far ahead of
the camps of South Africa in the matter
of electricity. The Mercur,' Utah, dis
trict, is waking up, as are other Colo
rado camps; but at present Cripple
Creek leads the world.
1--WE are just entering on the electrl-
cal mining age. Great things may be
expected Electricity will reduce the
cost of mining to a more uniform scale
The perfected electrical drill, operated
by a dynamo, and easily conveyed by
two miners to any part of the mine.
will do the work. An insulated wire will
furnish power from the surface. 1t Will
bore into the rock like the dentists drill
into your hollow tooth. An electrical
hoist will lift the ore to the surface. An
electrical fuse will also operate to save
life in firing off blasts. Colorado has
the water and the fuel. By electricity
the states output will be doubled and
redoubled."
Cripple Creeks electrical power is
generated by the Colorado Electrical
Power company, whose plant started
up last summer. Two electric roads
are proposed from Colorado Springs to
the camp.

Sewerage Outlet to Missouri
River Cut Off.
COMMITTEE NAMED
By the Legislature to Investi-
gate These Conditions.
Immediate Action is Deemed to
Be Necessary.

The state penitentiary is in a serious
condition which can only be relieved
by securing a. new source of water sup
ply.
The senate today adopted the resolu-
tion which has passed the house for the
appointment of a committee of three
from the house and two from the senate
to investigate and report upon this con-
dition.
The penitentiary sewers formerly
emptied into a slough which is now
stagnant because its outlets to the Mis-
souri, river have been closed up by the
formation of sandbars and the natural
accumulation of debris
The water supply from the peniten-
tiary is taken from sand wells not far
from the sewage outlets. Now that the
slough is shut off from the river the
sewage finds its way into the wells,
thereby poisoning the water.
Dick Chase, six years ago, foresaw
wanted the legislature to take precau-
tionary measures, but nothing was
done.
Then Bruce Lynch was exercised and
made an effort to have Governor Nor
rill do something to prevent the present
dangerous conditions, but he failed.
When the sewers were opened into
the slough, the outlet to the river was
first class, but that was years ago.
Now the slough is cut off from the river
and an island almost a mile in width
is between the slough and the river.
There are but two ways out of this
difficulty, which has assumed such pro-
portions as to become a menace to the
institution
The first is to pipe the sewage across
this island to the river, an undertaking
which is not regarded with favor.
The second plan, and the one which
is in contemplation, is to have new
water supply. Were the sewage piped

FROM MR.. DREW.
He Does Not Consider His Victory a
Personal One.

Charles J. Drew who was nominated
for mayor of Topeka at the Republican
primary was down town today for the
first time since Friday. He slipped on
the ice Saturday morning and injured
his back slightly that he was not
able to leave his house during the pro-
gress of the voting.
He said: ''It would be foolish for me
to say that 1 am not greatly pleased
with the result of the primary but
realize that the people were voting for
a. principle more than for me. They
supported the cause which I represented
and while I shall always feel grateful
I am not arrogant enough to claim any
of the credit for myself.
''The result ought to effectively set
tie the waterworks question. There can
no longer be any doubt where the people
stand. At the bond election there was a
very light vote and it has been claimed
that it was not representative but when

Admiral Says He Would Not Accept
Presidential Nomination.

Manila, Feb. 27.-Admiral Dewey con-
sented yesterday to discuss the queS-
tiOn of his nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States. He not only
heard the matter mentioned informally
many times, but he has actually been
approached in a, semi official manner by
prominent politicians. The admiral said
very emphatically:
Il would not accept a nomination for
the presidency. 1 have no desire for any
political office. 1 am untitled for it,
either by education or training.
4 am exceedingly grateful for num-
berless expressions of kindly sentiment
from the American people, but I wish
to retire in peace to the enjoyment of
my old age. The navy is one profession
and politics is another. / am too old to
learn a new one. have no political as
sociations and my health would never
endure the strain of a canvass.
Il have been approached by polite
ians more than once, in one way or an
other, but I have refused absolutely to
consider any proposition of this kind.
This decision is final"

PROBABLY DYING.
Condition of Rudyard Kipling
Presents Little Hope.

New York, Feb. 27.-The following
Kipling bulletin was issued at half past
z o'clock this morning:
''Mr- Kipling has been during the
night and is still very ILL.,
E. H. JANEWAY
THEODORE DUNHAM.
The condition of Rudyard Kipling was
so low this morning that when any one
with authority was asked concerning
him, the reply was made that "he is still
alive"
Mr.. Kipling was watched closely all
night long and there was a physician in
his apartment continuously.
No news came from the sick room
during the early morning till at 20 min
utes of 3 o'clock when a hall boy was
informed by F. N. Doubleday, the pub
Usher, who has been with Mr.. Kipling
since the beginning that the author was
still alive and that at that hour he was
holding his own.
At o'clock Mr.. Doubleday was asked
for further information. He said he was
glad to say Mr.. Kipling was still alive.
When asked what hope the physicians
gave for recovery, Mr.. Doubleday said
he could not tell.
Mr.. Doubleday is quoted as saying at
$50 a. M: Mr.. Kipling is alive; that
is hopeful. We are endeavoring to keep
him alive by administering oxygen and
beef. The crisis we think will come this
morning. 1t Is safe to say that if at
the close of the day Mr. Kipling is alive,
we may have great hope for his re-
covery."
Later in the day close friends of Mr.
Kipling guardedly expressed a hopeful
ness that was not apparent last night.
Mr.. Doubleday said that the author had
passed a better night than could have
been expected and was visib1y better
and resting easier at half past nine this
morning, though still in such danger
GUS condition that none could tell what
any hour might bring forth Still Mr..
Doubleday had strong hopes that Mr..
Kipling would pass through the crisis
of the illness successfully.

across the island the poison already ac-
cumulated in the stagnant slough
would find it's way into the wells and
officers and inmates of the penitentiary.

tutions, F1annelly, chairman, intro
duced the resolution providing for the
