One Hundred Thousand Acres of
Idaho Land Are to BE
Irrigated.

One Of the most enthusiastic boomers
OF central Idaho is Hon. l.. w. Shurtliff Of
Salt Lake City and Ogden. During the Trans
mississippi and International exposition, Mr.,
Sburtliff represented Utah. and through his
efforts the exhibits secured numerous first
and second prizes. Since the exposition
Mr.. Shurtliff has turned his attention to
irrigation matters and is now at the head
of company that has for it's object the
reclaiming OF 100000 acres Of desert land
along the Snake river in Idaho. Mr.. Shurt-
liff was in Omaha between trains yesterday
on his way west from Cleveland, o., and in
speaking OF the enterprise he said:
I'VE are building one OF the largest ir-
rigation bitches in the world 1t will be
sixty miles long when completed. 1t will
be eighty feet wide on top, sixty on the
bottom, and five feet deep. We take water
from the Snake river at point ten miles
above Blackfoot and return Just above
American Falls.
ITO complete the ditch will consume about
two years and when completed 1t will have
cost sS50.O00. During the past season We
have constructed twelve OF the sixty miles
and have expended $4,000. When this ditch
is in ope9ition it will water 100000 acre.

READY TO BEGIN WRECKlNG
Destruction Of the Exposition Buildings to
Commence Monday Morning,
HUNDREDS OF MEN FIND EMPLOYMENT
Structures Along the Main Court Will
lie the First 60 He Rnzcd
to the Ground and
Cnrted Away.

The time for beginning the work of de-
molishing the exposition buildings has been
set. Monday morning between 400 and
500 men will begin an assault upon the
structures and will continue until the last
building is down and the grounds are put
in their original condition. The officers of
the Chicago House Wrecking company, the
concern that purchased the buildings, have
gotten out of the legal tangles in which they
were engulfed by reason of suits brought
against the exposition association and which
resulted in injunctions being issued. All
yesterday the offices of the company on the
grounds were beseged by men, aud in NEST
instances they have been promised employ
ment.
The four big buildings on the north side
OF the Main court will be the first to be
torn down, and then the attention of the
men Will be turned to the structures across
the lagoon. The Government building will
be about the last to come down, though the
dome upon this structure will come off early
during the week, as it rs considered advis-
able to have it down before stormy weather
sets in. 1t is not regarded as safe perch
on which to labor during windy or sleety
weather.
In tearing down the buildings the work
men will begin on the roofs and work down,
clearing off each board and timber as it is
taken out OF the structure. In destroying
the buildings nothing will be wasted except
the common plaster. At this time there is
no way by which 1t can be utilized. 1t was
thought that the staff could not be used
but this is a mistaken idea. 1t will be taken
OFF, piled up and ground, after which 1t will
be mixed with a chemical preparation and
sold as fertilizer. The mill for the grind
ing has been purchased and will be here
next month.
On the Midway the scene of desolation is
aside from that occupied by the Scenic rail-
way that Is not being demolished The Cy-
clorama was attacked Friday and by Monday
night it will be ready to cart away.
In the Streets of Cairo a number of the
men who amused and mystifed the public
during the summer with their dances and
performances have degenerated into common
laborers, and are now busy tearing down
the structures, cleaning off boards, drawing
nails and piling up lumber The whirling
dervish who danced while he held swords
pointed at his breast now goes about clad
in an overcoat and works with the donkey
boys and the cheaper hands who swept the
refuse from the streets.
On the Bluff tract the beautiful park re-
sembes a badly kept common. Cows and
horses are grazing on the green sward, many
of the trees have been stripped of their bark
and everything has a badly run down ap
pearance.' All the small buildings that were
upon this tract have disappeared and moth
ing remains to mark their sites but piles
of rubbish.

much in extra clothing as in good digestion.
If the digestion and circulation are good,
colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation OF
the blood and when in this condition severe
colds are contracted on the slightest provo
cation.
People who make regular practice OF
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds, simply because
their digestion Is perfect, the heart strong
and regular and the whole system fortified
against disease.
1t requires little argument to convince
anyone that the best safeguards against
colds, pneumonia and changes OF tempera-
ture are a good stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved and minglng with the
food cause 1t to be promptly digested and
assmllated; they do this because they con-
tain nothing but harmless digestive ele-
ments. which digest meat eggs and other
food even when the stomach itself Is weak
and fac d.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people
well and keep them well. and the best habit
you can acquire Is to make daily use OF them
at meals to keep the digestive organs strong
and vigorous.

Have You Ever Been Thus Deceived.

Have You Ever Been Thus Deceived (:
The gullibiity OF the average buyer of
merchandise Is well known. as is also the
ability of "shrewd" merchants to palm off
limitations on the public. In making insig-
ers will sometimes accept substitutes
claimed to be "just as good,'' but when 1t
comes to articles of value which are to be
used the greater part OF a lifetime, purchas-
ers are as foolish as the merchant is dis
honest IL they allow themselves to buy any
thing but what is asked for. In 1882 the
Michigan Stove company of Detroit Chicago
and Buffalo placed upon the market COM
plete line OF cooking and heating apparatus
OF the highest degree of merit, known as
Garland" Stoves and Ranges, The name
Garland" stands as the symbol of goods Of
first grade only and are the only goods of
their kind sold under any trade name which
are not made in several qualities. Other
stovemakers at once commenced to apply a
trade name to lines varying in quality from
very good down to the cheapest and most
inferior grades, and then initiated the shape
and style OF the Garland" trade mark
with the result that many INSCRIPTIONS
stove merchants have been successful In
selling third and fourth grade limitations of
"Garlands" upon the statement that they
were "just as good" etc The courts have
closed the factories OF some, enjolned others,
and yet there are those who escape the pale
of the law and continue to dupe the public.
When will the buying public learn to pro-
feet itself?

For about an hour yesterday morning ex-

teenth and lizard streets owing to a dog that
was apparently mad. 1t came racing along
lizard street swapping and frothing. A gen
eral stampede followed to allow the animal
full right Of way. Between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth the dog fell in fit. An official
of the health department, who happened to
be among the terror stricken, sought out
Officer Thomas and ordered him to end the
animals life. The officer killed the dog with
two well directed shots and then the people
poured out from all manner of hiding places
and crowded around to get a view of the
cause of their fear.

OSTEOPATHS ARE ON TOP
Or. Matthew Dcnahue Wins First Inning in
Test Of Legality.
STATE FAILS TO ESTABLISH A CASE
Judge Bnxtcr Finds No Penalty
AGAINST DIR. Donahuc on the
Charge of PrncticinE Medi-
cine without License.

After a prolonged hearing before Judge
Baxter OF the county court, DR.. Matthew
Donahue, osteopath, was set free on the
charge OF practicing medicine without
certificate.
The county attorney prosecuted at the In
stance of the State Board OF Health, Pres
ident drummer taking an active part.
Dr. Donabue admitted the practice of os-
teopathy, but contended it was not the
practice of medcne and was therefore not
subject to the statutes regulating medical
practitioners s.r
This was brought as test case to de-
termine the legality Of osteopathy In Ne
braska. The case will be carried to the
higher courts for final decision There are
several osteopaths in Nebraska and the fate
OF DR.. Donahue in the courts shall be their
fate also. Osteopathy has been legalized In
twelve states and members of tnat school
are united in an effort to keep on spreading.
Judge Baxter's decision was lengthy. lie
reviewed the case in detail quoting many
legal authorities Judge Baxter has de-
voted much study to the question at issue
the evidence having been heard by him
two weeks before the attorneys began their
argument.
In summing up a synopsis Of his lengthy
decision, Judge Baxter said:
This prosecution was brought under Sec
tion II, chapter 3d. of the laws regulating
the practice of medicine. What construc-
tion to place upon that section was the
main point in controversy. The supreme
court in the case OF State against Buswell
fortieth Nebraska in constituting said sec
tion held that said section did not merely
give a new definition. having already a
given and fixed meaning, but that 1t rather
creates new class OF offenses in clear and
unambiguous language, which should be in
terpreted and enforced according to its
terms
"Thus 1t was held that the offenses men
toned in section 16 of said act for viola
tion of which penalty is fixed in said sec
tion, were different from the offenses men
toned. and created by section II, under
which last section this prosecution was
brought. There is no penalty fixed or pre-
ecribed for a violation of the offense created
by section II of the act
Judge Baxter accordingly held that al
though the evidence showed that DR.. Dona-
hue had violated section H. still as no pen
atty is fixed by law for violation OF said
section the court was without power to
hold the defendant for trial in the district
court The defendants attorney set forth
that the section OF the statutes in question
is unconstitutional. Judge Baxter did not
pass on that point.

GRIEVANCE AGAINST THE POLICE

Case of Richard II. Rcnne Against Of
fcer sauers Before Judge Powell.
Judge Powell was busy yesterday listening
to arguments of attorneys in the case
OF Richard F. Renne against James
F. Sauers and the National Surety COM
pany. The issue before the court was de-
murrer filed by the defendant bond company
setting forth that the plaintiff should have
first sued the city and that the petition
does not state facts sufficient to warrant a
cause and that the surety company's guar
anty does not cover such cases as that
outlined in Renne's petition.
Judge Powell stopped the proceedings at
IL o'clock with the statement that he would
hold the matter statu quo until briefs are
submitted No date is specified for the filing
of the briefs, but it is understood that nc
time is to be wasted.
Renne is a barber formerly employed In
the Stuht hotel. He alleges that on the
night of April IS of this year after he had
quit his work and was enroute to tailor
shop on Pacific street he was accosted by
Policeman Sauers, who placed him under
arrest. He AYERS that he was doing moth
ing more than peaceably walking along the
streets and that no satisfactory explanation
was made to him why he should be taken
into custody. On April IA. he sets forth, he
BY reason of his arrest and the humilia
tion. loss OF time and general Inconvenience
he claims to be damaged in the sum o
$1,000, and this he prays the court to aware
him.
Another suit somewhat similar, filed il
the district court this morning, is by Jacol
Silverstein against Edward w. Heelan, cit!
detective. Silverstein is drayman, living
at 6l6 South Tenth street. His petition set
forth that Detective Heelan arrested him oil

lating dray wagons. He says there was NJ
