In the six Rocky mountain states Of
Colorado, Idaho, Montana. Nebraska.
Utah and Wyoming, agriculture is
largely dependent on irrigation. The
distribution Of the water supply is
regulated 10y law. and costs about one
dol,arper racre. Nebrasbua and Wyoming
have wafer commissioners. who receive
all applications and determine all con
troversies. In the other four states
there is much litigation. But when the
ranchman's water rights are once cs-
tab,iShod, he thinks himself far more
sure Of regular crops than the farmer

Il. D. Stocker Dies Suddenly.

Henry d. Stocker, a we'll known
young attorney of Minneapolis, died
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Suckers
death comes as great and painful
surprise, Less than a week before he
was at his Office. He was taken ill
with pneumonia. The trouble is said
to be the direct result of a cold con-
tracted during the campaign, when
he entered with much spirit into the
fight as the Democratic candidate for
probate judge.
Henry D. Stocker was born at Lake
City, Mimi, June %, 1871, and was a
son of the late Judge III. D. Stocker,
who died one year ago. He studied
law at the state university law school,
and was admitted to the bar shortly
after reaching the age of twenty-one
years. He was a Republican until he
became convert to free silver. Mr..
StOcker was sergeant-at-ar1ns at the
national Silver Republican convention
at Kansas City. He was-also a men,
Der of the trustee board appointed by
Gov. Lind last summer to take charge
of the state institutions at Earibault.
He leaves wife and daughter five
years of age.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The following proclamation was is
sued last Wednesday by Gov. Lind:
The conditions that move the human
heart to gratitude have been present
among our people during the past year
to an extent that makes the observance
of Thanksgiving day especially appro-
pirate. True, all sections and all class
es have not shared alike in the bounty
of nature and in the rewardsof honest
industry, but on the whole, the prog
ress of the state has been surely and
steadily In the direction of secure and
substantial prosperity. Our city and
country districts alike have been fill
ing up with q thrifty and desirable
population; industries have multiplied;
our resources have been developed;
the soil in it's fertility has added abun-
dainty to our material wealth; business
has been active, labor and capital have
been fortunately spared the serious
and destructive conflicts between mas
ter and servant so common elsewhere;
commercial and agricultural distress,
except in isolated places, have been
practically, unknown. Moreover, our
institutions of learning have f1ourished
with unaccnstomed vigor and content
ment and happiness prevail generally
within our borders.
Mindful of these blessings and in
harmony with time honored custom,
l do therefore designate Thursday, the
Goth day of November, as a day of
public thanksgiving, and urge it's OBJ
servance by all our citizens in a man.
ner befitting a people grateful for the
favors they enjoy
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state to be hereto affixed, at the
capitol. in the city of st. Paul, this
14th day of November, A. d. 1900.

Disfrauchised Subjects.

The results of the British parliament
airy election are now known, and some
Of them will strike the American mind
as somewhat strange, says the New
York World.
1t will strike us strange, for instance,
that after the long struggle for cleo
toral reform Great Britain, with a
population of nearly 4O,OOO,OOO, can
cast only 4,316,7O3 votes. From this 1t
would appear that fully one-half of
the British ''freemen" are still dis
franchised. And while the average
vote required to choose a member of
parliament is about 5000, there are
still boroughs with only 5000 voters,
while in other election districts there
is a voting list of 10000.
Our dispatches have called attention
to another apparent anomaly-that
while the aggregate Unionist vote of
2,3GO,S52 gave them $50 members, the
Liberals, with 2,O55,051, secured only
1S7 seats. In other words, while the
Unionists obtain member of parlia.
ment for every G,213 votes cast, it re.
quired 1000 votes to elect a Liberal
member.

"Have you," asked, read Miss

NO" he answered.
do you know anything about it?'
Only what 1 have read in the Daily

You will express no opinion on
Miss Corelli's book as far as you know
it?"
"That would indeed be an unwise
thing to do

We're left on your mind by your long
visits to Romeo"
"The question is too large, but If
you think a word or two Will be of the
least use, will say that nothing could
exceed my sense of the devotion of it's
worship, and, speaking broadly, the
sincerity and the purity, and often the
nobility, of its priesthood"
"You knew many priests and prel.
ates in Rome?'
IA great many"
''YOu saw something of the Vati.

"a good deal"
Mr.. Hall Caine would say no more;
but the quiet tone of the author left n
strong impression that the Eternal

thing in common with The Muster
Christian, except perhaps in scene.
AS n last word Mr.. Hall Game said
that, according to present plans, he
returns to Rome early in December.
