BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
WILL FILL ARTIFICIAL LAKE OF
NINETY-SIX SQUARE MILES
Water VIII BE D1tched From Ar
kansas River and VIII Irri-
gate Three COun-
ties.

TOPEKA, Kan, July THE state su-
preme court has handed down decision
declaring the Kansas irrigation law TO
be constitutional, and that the condemna-
tion of land by the Pawnee Lake and
Irrigation company Is valid. This will
make it possible to carry into effect the
biggest irrigation scheme ever attempted
in Kansas-that projected in Barton
county, situated in the exact center of
the state.
The company projecting the scheme
sought to condemn land occupying O
space twelve miles long and eight miles
wide, the old Pawnee lake, for a reser-
voir. 1t built a long ditch from the
Arkansas river, just west of Great Bend,
to the lake, and proposed to fill the lake
when the river is high and hold the
water until it is needed In the main and
lateral bitches in eastern Barton, Rico
and Reno counties, the latter two coun-
ties adjoining Barton.
The Arkansas river is that over which
Kansas and Colorado are now at law,
Kansas suing the state of Colorado for
Illegally diverting the water from that
stream and causing 1t to run dry in the
Sunhower state.

MADE THEIR ESCAPE
GREAT NORTHERN TRAIN RoR-
BEERS HAVE OUTDISTANCED
SHERIFF'S POSSE
CANNOT BE oVERTAKEN
Only Remaining Hope Is Their In
Perception In Their Flight to
ImpregnabIe Wyoming
Retreats

ANACONDA Mont, July Especial
dispatches from staff correspondent of
the Anaconda Standard on the ground
are to the effect that there is now little
hope of the sheriff's posse overtaking the
men who held up the Great Nortern ex-
press train at Wagner, Mont, last
Wednesday. The correspondent mas lust
returned from the section of country
where the posses were expected to over
take the robbers. His account is that
the pursuers have been outwitted and
that the robbers have eluded them.
There are now two theories presented
One is that the outlaws, who are far
better mounted than their pursuers, have
already crossed the Missouri river and
are well on their way toward the Hole
in the WALL, country in Wyoming, the
most notorious refuge of criminals in
the United States. The Hole in the Wall
is a fastness practically impregnable.
and capable of being successfully defend
ed by a few men against almost any
force. The region between the point in
the Missouri brakes and the Hole in the
Wall is very sparsely settled, a few
scattered cattle ranches being the only
evidences of human habitation. Pursuit
over this wild section, according to old
pladnsmen, is virtually hopeless.
The other theory is that the robbers
have gained the intricacies Of the Bad
Lands along te Missouri river near the
Little Rockies and are there awaiting
the time when the chase shall have
grown cold and then seize a favorable
opportunity to ford the river at place
where crossing could not be effected by
men unfamiliar with the river and it's
treacherous windings. Every foot of
ground is an open book to the robbers,
who have used the vicinity as their
stamping grounds for years. The Of
f1cers are still In the field, but it is the
opinion of those VINO are on the ground
that the scene of active pursuit must
now be transferred to Yellowstone, Gus
ter or Dawson counties, through one or
more of which the robbers must pass
to reach the Hole in the Wall

DELEGATES ON HAND
OHIO DEMOCRATS GATHER AT
COLUMBUS FOR THEIR STATE
CONVENTION
K1LBouRNE FOR GOVERNOR
Gold Democrats VIII Try to Keep
Any Reference to Silver Ques-
ton Out of the Plat
form.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 7.-Although
the Democratic state convention does not
convene until next Wednesday morning
the leaders and some of the delegates
are here today. The delegates meet by
congressional districts on Tuesday, when
the members of the committees are se-
lected. AS no effort will be made to en-
dorse Mclean, Johnson or anyone else
for senator, and as the nomination of
Col. James Kilbourne for governor is as
sured, there Is no general interest being
taken in the committee on credentials.
Much interest Is being taken in the Sc
lection of members Of the state central
committee, on which the Mclean men
have had a majority. The interests Of
Col. Kilbourne and Mayor Tom L. John
son, of Cleveland, as we'll as of John R.
Mclean and of others, are involved In tie
new state organization. Nearly all the
leaders of what were known as gold
Democrats are delegates to this conven-
ton, and they are opposing the platform
views Of Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland,
and Mayor Jones, of Toledo, as well as
any reference whatever to the silver
question. The Hamilton county delega-
tton from McLean's home at Cincinnati
has selected Hon. Charles W. Baker as
chairman and Judson Harmon and Har-
Ian Cleveland as members of the com
mittee on resolutions for their respective
districts. Baker was leader for Palmer
and Buckner. Judge Harmon was attor-
ney general in Grover Cleveland's cab
met and Harlan was Cleveland s United
States district attorney under the same
administration.
There has been an active canvass for
months for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion, with ]. T. Zimmerman, ]. G. Welty,
Isaac s. Sherwood, A. w. Patrick and
others in the field against Kilbourne. All
have withdrawn except Zimmerman. 1t
is believed that the Kilbourne men will
select some one for lieutenant governor,
and that there will be a free for all con-
test for the other places on the state
ticket

MADE MANY PROMISES
MINISTER'S CANNOT no ALL THEY
SAID THEY WOULD.

PEKIN, July 1.-The minister of one
OF the great powers told the representa-
tive of the Associated Press today that
a leading cause for the present appar-
ent deadlock was the fact that the va
rious committees had taken to them
selves too much authority in dealing
with the Chinese and had made certain
promises dependent upon the Chinese
agreeing TO certain conditions which
other ministers afterward found it i'm
possible to accept. Another factor Of
considerable importance. he said, was
the commercial factor involving the
right of each government to make its
own treaties with China and the appi-
cation OF the most favored nation clause.
In his opinion the first difficulty can be
overcome shortly but the commercial
issue must be eliminated or it IS likely
to prove definite stumbling block.

CAREER OF HOHENLOHE
MANY INTERESTING STORIES OF
DEAD PRINCE
Said the Kaisers Greatest Fall
ing Was His Confidence
In His Own Iron
VIII.

LONDON, July by far the most in
teresting comments upon the career of
Prince Won Hohenlone, many columns OF
which appear in the London morning
papers, are those of the Times, whose
Paris correspondent, M de Blowitz,
makes important revelations regarding
the dead statesman.
Among many confidential letters and
conversations attributed to him, while
imperial chancellor, Is the following sum
mary of his estimate of Emperor Will
lam:
His greatest failing is that he does
not think there are any limits to his
will. 1t is almost impossible to tell be-
forehand where he will be and what ne
will do. 1t often happens that weeks
pass without my seeing him. Then he
suddenly appears and l am amazed at
his knowledge Of the details of what is
going on.'
Regarding Emperor Williams famous
telegram to Mr.. Kruger at the time of
the Jameson raid, Prince Won Hohen-
lohe said:
III the emperor had known that Jane
son has so many sons of respectable
English families with him, he would not
have sent the telegram. He thought
Jameson had only fllibusterers with him
and that it was an act of Drigandage."
On his appointment to the imperial
chancellorship, he wrote as follows: IL
know what burden / am taking upon
my old shoulders 1 hope for nothing
and am resigned to everything"

RACE AGAIN TODAY
AND INDEPENDENCE ON THIR-
TY-MILE COURSE
PLEASED WITH CONSTITUTION
Good Showing Made Saturday by
HerreshOYs New Boat Is
Source of Much Sat
tsfactiOn.

NEWPORT, II. l., July Tt was a
day Of satisfaction on board the new
yachting champion, the Constitution, of
resignation on the Columbia and Of con-
temptation, but still hopefulness, on the
Boston yacht, independence, so badly
defeated in yesterdays race.
On Shore however, everyone discussed
the race from all sides, but principally
with reference to the unexpected show
ing of the Independence. 1t seemed to
be the general opinion among those
yachtmen who watched the race close
ly that the sluggishness of the CROWN
shield boat was due, to some extent, to
the uncertainty of the wind some time
little after the start, and that the true
worth of the yacht was not brought
out
On board the Boston boat not a man
was cast down, the overwhelming de-
feat being attributed solely to hard
luck. Said one of those on board dur
ing the race:
1--WE know that the Independence can
sail and sail fast, for we have seen her
do it, and we believe that yesterdays
i'll luck attended her from the very
start
Capt Haff is quoted as expressing
similar views to Mr.. Lawson, when the
latter came aboard last night after the
race, and tonight all hands on the Bos-
ton boat are looking foroward eagerly and
confidently to tomorroW's contest, when,
over triangular course, the Independ-
ence Is expected to show her great
reaching powers, providing, of course,
there is any kind Of a breeze, and it is
pointed out that under American cup
conditions yesterdays contest would
have been declared no race, the usual
time limit Of five and one-half hours
having been exceeded, but those on the
Independence did not make an excuses
on that basis. One of tho most inter-
esting comments on the race was made
this afternoon by Mr.. w. Butler Dun
can, of the Constitution, who summed
up the contest by saying 1t seemed prac-
tically to settle the situation, and that
the independence could not hereafter be
considered a possibility as a cup defend
er. Mr.. Duncan further remarked that
one of the most gratifying incidents
Of the race was the excellent work OF
the Constitutions crew in handling sails
and the manner in which all hands
with the showing Of the Constitution
and the result was q great relief
Coming back to the independence. he
said that a yacht that could not show
speed in light weather would be very un-
likely to do better under heavier con-
ditions of wind and sea.
The yachts will have their second con-
test of the Newport Racing assocIa-
tion's series tomorrow over the thirty
miles triangular course of ten miles
side, 1t being provided that one leg, prob
ably the last, shall be beat to wind
ward. 1t is expected such a contest will
give the Independence her best chance
at defeating the two Herreshoff yachts.
as two of the legs must be sailed on her
best point 1t is expected that tomor-
row almost as large feet Will accom-
pany the racers as on Saturda.

hoop companies to settle the wage scale.
On Saturday twelve men were dis-
charged from the Wellsville, Ohio, steel
plant, an underlying company OF the
United States Steel corporation. No
reason was given for the discharges,
but the men say the action was taken
because the discharged men were known
to have taken active part in unionizing
the mill, which has always heretofore
been non-union. The case was brought
before the advisory board OF the Anal
gamated association, which was IN ses-
sion here yesterday the result being that
an order has gone forth from President
Shaffer calling upon all union men in the
mill to strike tomorrow Tn.s action
may seriously cripple the plant, and en-
phasizes the important fact that Presi-
dent Shaffer is determined that the scale
must be signed for all mills alike and
take no chances on a settlement OF the
existing troubles by the conference to DO
held mere this week.

TWO VOTES FOR SOME
CONSERVATIVES FAVOR PLURAL
VOTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEN.

HAVANA, July 1.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention has not yet arrived
at an understanding regarding the cleo
toral law. Several meetings were neld
last week, but very little interest was
manifested in the proceedings, many of
the delegates being absent. The conserv-
atives are quite hopeless with respect
to the resembling of the universal suf-
frage clause, and they are now endeavor-
ing to secure a plural vote for property
holders and for professional and business
men. In this they are strongly opposed
by the Radicals.
An objection has recently been raised
against drawing up the electoral law
until the United States government has
approved the constitution, the argument
being that it would be useless to draft
laws based upon the constitution If
Washington is going to make changes
in this instrument.

NOW A SOLDIER BOLD
SECOND SON OF KAISER ENTERS
FIRST GUARD.

POTSDAM, July 7.-Speaking today on
the occasion OF the entrance of Prince
Eitel Frederick, Emperor Williams sec
ond son, into the First Guards regiment
at Potsdam, his majesty said:
THE noblest task is the defense of the
fatherland. The noblest weapon is the
sword and the nobIest uniform is the
uniform of the Prussian soldier. 1.-THE
first thing I can imagine Is the earnest
soldier, inhexible as iron in everything
which constitutes the chivalry of an
officer; hard toward himself; upholding
with rigid self discipline the traditions
Of his house and regiment, indifferent
to the opinion OF others, and with one
goal before his eyes.
Responsible only to his God and his
father, so may my son follow his path
In life."

The Man By the Roadside.
BY WILL S. GIDLEY.


Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A man suffering from half a dozen
gunshot wounds lay dying by a Ken
lucky roadside man grizzled and
gaunt, and upon whose lean face was
the bronze of fifty summers and many
jagged seam and scar.
A rabbit poked its nose inquiringly
through the bushes as he lay there.
and then at a sudden movement from
the dying man turned and scuttled
swiftly away.
Then a big blue-bottle fly came buz-
zing around the helpless man, welter-
ing in his own 1ife-blood beside the
rude mountain trail, and after five
minutes of laundering and humping
against his battered features finally
settled down ON the raw edge of a
wound, just below the matted hair on
his forehead and began patiently drill
ing into the sensitive flesh.
The exquisite pain seemed to revive
the MORALLY wounded sufferer and
awaken his instinct of self-preserva-
ton. His right hand stirred by his
side, and then crept slowly-slowly
but surely-up toward his blood
stained forehead.
Inch by inch it advanced-that
gnarled, claw-like hand-until it was
on level with the demon fly probing
into his wound; and then with a sud-
den movement he brought it down.
crushing the life out of his tormentor.
"Ha, ha, 1 got yeh, did I?' he
chuckled hcarsely. 'Wush 1 could

y The wounded man rolled over and
made an effort to rise to a sitting posi-
ton, but the attempt was a failure.
"The sneakiT ole divil has got me

be dead man inside of two hours"
