Jailed with Secretary Stanton Six
Weeks.

Simmons, a colored man, the
oldest messenger at the White
House, came there about q month
prior to the death of Lincoln, the
day of whose death he recalls WV
idly, and says that he felt that
there would be violent trouble of
some kind before President Lin
coin had completed his second
term. "On the day he was shot
there was an especially sad and
melancholy look in his eyes, al
though he was ms kindly in his
greetings and jovial as usual.
How like a giant he used to seem
as he crossed the room OH his way
to the war Office at midnight with
a shawl thrown over his shoulders
to get the latest Lews from the
front" Simmons was also at the
White House during the stormy
days of Johnson's administration.
Colonel Loefier, the door-keeper
to President McKinley's Office.
was locked up with Secretary
Stanton during the impeachment
trial. They held the fort in the
war room, eating and sleeping
there during the six weeks of the
impeachment trial of Andrew
johnson, until General Scho6eld
was installed secretary of war.
The chief cause of the impeacb-
ment trial was the removal of
Stanton, the violation of the ten
ure of office act, and the claim by
johnson that Congress then only
represented a portion of the states.
The vote was 30 guilty and 10 not
guilty, Republicans voting
to save Johnson.-Joe M. Chapple

June.

THE situation in China is a very grave
one. AS the people there are so un-
civilized and SO far behind the times it
Is Il very difficult matter to lea with
them. Uncle Sam is to send Il number
of varships and soldiers over to take a
ham in giving the boxers something
the foreigners. They are 10 ~fanatical
that it is worse than fighting Indians.
The chief aim of the principal nations
seem to be to keep China from dismem.
bermeBt for a time at least. as there
would likely be serious trouble over the
division OF the territory should it be
broken up, and q national war is some
thing to be avoided il possible.

FOR WATER.
Brush Creek Meadows Are Suffering
From Lack of Water Caused by
Ties Choking Heedgates.

Eioih LdIk VI w SotsSe y
Ties Choking Heedgates.
From a prominent Brush creek
ranchman who was in town re-
Gently we learn that the tie drive,
which is now going down Brush
creek, will work considerable hard
ship to the ranckmen in that vi
cinity. The ties and debris which
comes with them keep the head
gates to the bitches SC clogged up
that the water will not run
through. consequently the hay crop
must suffer.
This gentleman informed us
that he will be damaged to the
extent of $500 or $500 and that
a number of the ranchmen will
be damaged as much if not more.
Now, while of course a great
many reports like this are exag-
gerated, there must be a great
deal in the kick against the tie
business as the same story is told
every place the ties are driven
down. Over in the Medicine
Bow country the ranchmen have
the same trouble, and they say
that 50 many ties have been cut
out of the mountains at the head
of the Medicine Bow river tina,
it has materially affected the
water supply of that country, the
water giving out long before they
are through irrigating.
1t seems to us that the profits
in this business are rather lop sid.
ed and the damage done is so fal
reaching in comparison with the
benefits acruing from it that there
should be something done to ever
things up a little.
The water on Brush creek has
already been materially affected
and if this tie business continue.
! it will only be a matter of a few
years until there will be no watel
for late irrigation. The damag,
this would work that valley can
not be underestimate, as tn,
ranchmen on that creek depend
entirely upon irrigation for thei,
crops.
