The Davis Child Exchange.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 2S.-The
Botkin residence, on Washington Street

o'clock yesterday morning robbers were
discovered in the storehouse of the Blue

we're preparing to take away with them
most of the contents of the store. when a
man passing noticed the unusual appear

police. Soon the building was surrounded
by a large crowd, who at first were ap-
parently unnoticed by the thieves. One
of them tried to escape, through the
front door, but on being confronted with
firearms quickly returned and. with the
rest of the gang, fed through a rear door
and escaped. Bloodhounds we're put on

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.AsNncle DAM
Rice, the most famous of clowns, died last
evening at Long Branch. NAI. where he
had been i'll for several weeks.s
In his life he was the most noted OF all
knights of the sawdust ring He was sew
enty-seven years old, and his history was
practically that of the circus-the real, old
Yankee cireus-in America.

ne was born in New York city. His father
picknamed him Dan Rice after famous

cheerful and had jest ever ready. He
had owned three different shows and trav-
eled not only in every portion OF the
United States. but extensively in Europe
as we'll. He was married three times, and
wife. who is said to own valuable ranch
in Texas. survives him.
The old clown had started to write a
book telling of his career. but increasing
infirmities prevented him from finishing 1t.
He was engaged upon the last chapter a
few days before his death. The cause of
death was Bright's disease.
Uncle Dan" first appeared as a clown
| in Galena. ILL.,. the home of Gen. L. S.
Grant in 1874 and from that time forward
his popularity as a circus jester increased
rapidly.
But life was not all jest to Rice. For
instance he figured in serious incident in
! Philadelphia in 1860. At that time he
| owned the Walnut Street Theatre. The
students there had displayed marked Sc
| session sentiment. Rce's sympathies were
| with the North. and he took occasion 10
read the young men lecture upon what
| he considered their duties under the cir
| cumstances.
| He sent to three hundred or them passes
admitting them to his theatre, and they
| came expecting to be amused. But Rice
| had doffed his cap and bells and rebuked
| them at some length for their Outbursts
| in favor of the South at a time when the
| fate of the nation was In the balance
| They hooted him and much disorder re-
| suited
He did not retire from the circus until
| 1882. Since that time he has spent much
of his time in New York, where he was q
| familiar group. Whitehaired, vigorous
! ruddy. and cheerful for his years Until
recently he was able 10 go out for an oc-
| casional drive. On February 10 he was
forced TO go TO bed and sank gradually

NATIONAL CONTROL OF
WATER.

The entire question Of Western ri
sa,ien leads up to enc inevitable con-
clusion: This is that irrigation, ovsf !
and above all other industries, is a
matter demanding public supervision
and control. Every drop Of water ~
tering the head gate and every drop
escaping at the end of the canal is a
matter of public concern. The public
must determine, through constitutions
and statutes, the nature Of water
ownership. The public must estab-
lish means for the measurement Of
streams and for ascertail,ing how
much water may be taken for each
acre of land under the principle of
beneficial use. The public must see
that Justice is done in the distribu-
ton Of water among those who have
properly established their r,ghtful
claim to it. We have thoroughly
tried the method of leaving all this
to private initiative and management,
ard along with magnificent material
progress we have reapod large crop
of deplorable financial results. While
much must be left to the action Of
States and communities, there is still
wide field ior national effort.
The national government alone can
make the best and broadcast study Of
the various economic questions re.
lated to the development Of agricul
ttre on arid lands. This includes MOI
only the measurement of streams an6
surveys of re servoir sites, but also I
consideration Of practical methods o
applying water to the soil and of SO
cial and industrial institution
adapted to the environment of TIL
arid region. The nation alone ca
deal wi the conflicting rights III in
terstate and international streams
and with the construction of grea
reservoirs at their head waters, with
view of bereftting the several State
lying along their couree. The ma
ional gov eminent is already actis
along these lines, and the field for tt
expansion OF its efforts is wide an
inviting Silver State.
