A writer in the Dallas News suggests
that general system OF irrigation
would promote the material interest
of all the western country more than
anything else that could be devised.
He proposes that commissions be ap-
pointed by the states to study the sub
ject thoroughly, after which with the
help of the United States government
a complete system should be devised
and the whole arabic area brought
under its benefcient influence. he
thinks that the effect would be an i'm
provement in the general physical
condition of the inhabitants, 1mme nse-
ly increased crops, and the prevention
of overfows, since the flood waters
would be stored. Certain it is that this
particular section OF Texas would be
one of the famous gardens OF the world
with a complete irrigation sytem.
The soil il virgin and rich as any In
the world. And there would be no
limit to the capacity of the section to
produce great crops of every kind.

A year ago men in all lines of bust
ness were engaged in a grand rustic
for business. There was a prospect OF
q good season, but the orders had to be
hunted up in order to keep the mills
going. At that time, while the out
look in the labor market was good,
there were many men out of work, and
some discomfort which resulted from
the persistence of the condi-
tfons which held over from the
Cleveland administration and were
accentuated by the foolish free silver
agitation precipitated by the demo-
cratic calamity howlers headed by
Willie Bryan. Today iobbers in every
line of business are reporting an abun-
dance of orders and some mills are
crowded with orders far beyond their
capacity to fill. Men in close touch
with the labor market say that the de-
mand equals or even exceeds the sup
ply, and there is no need for any able
bodied man to be out of work if he will
work for reasonable wages and is fair
ly steady. There is a growing demand
for money, and although the supply is
more than ample for all legitimate pur-
poses the demand ia sufficient to keep
the interest rate from falling below a
fair rate of return. From every Sec

THERE has been no evidence present
ed to the effect that our soldiers In The
Philippines are tired Of their work and
want to return home. On the contrary,
everything points to the utter devotion
with which the mass of the volunteers
are giving themselves to the cause OF
suppressing the rebellion against the
sovereignty of the United States that
prevails in our eastern islands. Not
long ago Chicago.press clipping bu-
reau received an order from the Anti
Imperialist league ofiBoston to exam =
inc letters from soldiers in the Philip
pines published in papers throughout
the country, for the purpose OF seeing
what complaints the volunteers make.
Up to date the bureau has clipped
1000 letters from volunteers and in
only three instances WAS fault found
with anything or anybody or
wish expressed by a writer to return
home. And in the same connection it
is good to have the expression of one of
the bravest of the. brave. General
Funston, on the American army of the
orient. In cablegram to the New
York Journal on the first of May he
said: ST wish every American could
see the splendid, enthusiastic army
that has put the finishing touches on

Some Other Noted Swimmer


! Ross" Field, in the Chicago Post.
| The remarkable exploit of Colonel
Funston in swimming the Rio Grande
sin the teeth of the enemy's fire.
serves to recall some other memorable
natatorial achievements and their I'M
deriving causes. Boratious, as Secre-
tary Long has wisely told us. SWAN the
Tiber in order to get away from the
| foe, although it is recorded that with
! the exception of false Sextus nobody
essayed to stop him or wish him bad
luck Leander swan the Hellespout
| to meet the lovely Hero. and Byron &C
luster of Leander's glory-a proceed
ing we have always deprecated.
Young Lochinvar ''swam the Esk
river where ford there was none"
thereto impelled by love OF lady, and
Captain Webb swan the English chan
mel just to show that it could be done.
O'Grady swan out, but where he SWAN
or why he swan we do not at this mo-
ment remember; it is enough to know
that 1t was q memorable feat and has
been duly recognized in the lyrics OF an
admiring nation. The oysterman, the
dear old friend of college days. was an
other tremendous swimmer whose val
orous boast has been thus set forth by
the poet:
Leander swan the Hellespont
And I can swim this ere.
But all these achievements were as
nothing compared with the deed OF the
gallant Funston. Leander, Horatius,
Lord Byron, Lochinvar, Captain Webb,
O'Grady and the FISHERMAN swan for
glory, safety or selfish personal consi-
derations. but Funston SWAN for the
honor of his country. The difference
between two heroes, as Secretary
Long might put it, is that Funston
swan for patriotism, while Horatius
swan for home.
When shall his glory fade?
o, the wild swim he made!
All the world wondered.
Kansas this cry has sent;
Funston for president
In 19OO."

Died:-In Denver, Colorado, at
noon last Saturday, October IA,
1899, Hon. Matthew G. Luney,
aged "a years.
Mrs. Dryde McClintock receiv-
ed letter from her daughter,
Mrs. w. S. Galbreaith, written
last Wednesday. Mrs. Galbreai-
tn said an operation was to be
performed on Mr.. Luney the
following day. Nothing has
been received since except
telegram announcing his death.
The doctors informed Mr.. Luney
that if an operation were per-
formed the chances would be
very much against him, but he
preferred to take the chan, eS, so
it is more than probable the OPP
GRAFTON was performed. One re-
port received was that the troub-
lie was cancer of the bowleS aud
another that it was cancer of the
stomach.
Mr.. Luney was a pioneer OF
this section. He arrived in Cen
terville in 1854, and from there
moved to Pioneer. In 1866 he
went to Shasta county, Califor-
MIA, and was married to Mrs.
Mary Galbreaith, who survives
him. He built the Luna House
in 1867, and conducted the hotel
until a few years ago when ne
and Mrs. Luney moved 20 Den
yer, leasing the hotel 10 w. s.

MIR. Luney was member o.
the Idaho Legislature in early
days. He was an enterprislne
and public spirited man, ant
lleaves many old time friends
throughout the State.
The funeral will take place

n Startling Discovery.

A remarkable embalming fluid
has been discovered by a Swiss
chemist which may solve the
difficulties of overcrowding Gem
eteries.
The theory on which the chem
ist operated in working out his
discovery was that the functions
of the heart and stomach do not
cease instantly when death
comes, as is supposed. He veri-
fed the theory by experiments
on animals prior to trying it
upon a human body.
The practical operation is to
inject within an hour after death
the fluid into the heart and
stomach simultaneously. The
effect is the ossiication of the
body. Instead of following the
usual method of keeping a body
where it is cool, it is placed into
room heated to ninety degrees,
aud in ten hours the body is
practically a solid piece of stone.
The hair drops off, but the
features are preserved, SO that
the ossified person can be recog~
nized by friends. In the Swiss
town where the chemist resides.
several parties, unwilling to part
with their friends, keep the
ossified bodies in their houses,
just as they would marble stat
ueS.
The body thus ossified can be
cut with a chisel like marble,
and is as solid as if taken from a
quarry.
BY the use of the process
people can not only retain the
bodies Of their relatives above
ground and in their residences il
they will, but in case of public
men, most life-like statues car
be secured by literally trans
forming the bodies into stone
No sculptor's chisel can make
counterfeit presen'ment equal tt
the transformed body.
The new embalming process i:
so gruesome that the Swiss gov
eminent is considering the advis
ability of forbidding its use, IN
less the friends bury the deaC
after the transformation. TIL
law requires the issue of burial
permits after death, but if n
, burial takes place it is not com
: piled with.
1t remains to be seen whethe
7 this embalming chemist his
lstruck q popular chord or not.

Labor Troubles In Idaho.

The executive council of the

1898. The miners trouble in the
Coeur d'Alenes of Idaho was TAX
en- up, and the following preamb-
le and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The struggle of
the miners of Idaho in the Cpur
d'Alene district is one that
should have the support and
sympathy of all organized labor,

Whereas, The arrest and i'm
prisonment of said miners for al
legged violation of law has been
unparalleled for the brutality
exhibited toward the men while
confined in the bull-pen, where,
because of unnecessary depriva-
ton, some have died and the
health of others is impaired.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That the execu-
tive council of the American
Federation of Labor does here
by appropriate the sum of $500
to assist in their legal defense,
and most heartily urges all local
unions who have not already
made donations, who are direci
ly or indirectly affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor,
to respond as literally as pos.

for funds for proper legal de-
