u. S. Senators by Direct Vote.

Several states will have but one
senator in the 47th Congress--to
convene in, its first regular session
the first Monday in December
and one, Delaware, will have none,
in consequence of the inability Of the
majority Of the members Of the leg
islature TO elect at the last session.
In some other states where an cleo
ton was finally secured there was
bad temper, wrangling, and long
and expensive contest to the detri-
ment Of public business. These dis
graceful contests, often attended by
more or less scandal, call with in
sistent rciteration for a change in the
manner Of electing United States
senators. The general demand is
for a popular election of these func-
tionaries, an election by direct vote
as in the case Of an election of mem
bers of the lower house. To secure
the benefits Of this method an amend
ment to the constitution is necessary.
The legislatures of most of the states
have passed resolutions at different
times, memorializing Congress to
initiate legislation to submit an
amendment to the constitution to
permit the people to elect in this
manner, but the Senate, for obvious
reasons, is opposed to the PROPOSE
ton.
The constitution provides two
ways for its own amendment. One
way, the one most convenient of at
talnment if the Congress is "agree-
able" is given in the following
words of the constitution: "The
Congress, whenever two-thirds of
both houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this
constitution"
The other method provided is in
these words: Cor on application of
the legislatures of two-thirds of the
several states"
Several states, despairing of seeing
the Senate agree to the first method
Of securing this much-desired amend
ment, have passed resolutions in ac-
cordance with the last clause of the
quotations, and it is expected and
hoped that the necessary two-thirds
of the state legislatures will in the
near future pass resolutions to secure
this amendment.
After this amendment is secured
it will be more difficult for,rich men
to buy a seat in the United States
Senate.

Mosquitoes and Malaria.

The announcement made by med
ical authority two or three years ago
that mosquitoes transmit malaria
from one person to another was re-
ceiyed with absolute incrcdulity. 1t
was known that in many localities
where mosquitoes abound, notably
in northern Minnesota and Alaska,
no malaria is ever known. This
fact seemed an clIectual contradic-
ton to the assertion that mosquitoes
transmit malaria by their bite.
Later Investigations have confirm
ed the theory then advanced by these
scientific men and established the
fact by positive proof, but with Ger
tain important limitation. 1t is now
known with certainty that not all
sorts of mosquitoes produce malaria
by their bite. Some species do not.
One Of the five genera-the anophc-
les-does. 1t is asserted by some,
but not yet demonstrated beyond
question, that no other kinds of mos
quitoes but this one genera can com
municate disease. 1t is further as
serted that malaria cannot be con
tracted by man except as communi-
Gated through the bite of the mos
quito. Only the females are blood
suckers. 1t is said the poisonous
mosquito, the Misunderstanding, may
readily be distinguished from her in
nocuous congener by the position
she assumes, in preparing to bite
The harmless specimen, when she
prepares to bite stands square on her
six legs with her body parallel with
the surface on which she stands,
while the poisonous kind knuckles
down TO the work of inserting her
proboscis-crooks her front pair of
legs and sticks up her hind legs, in
clining her body at an angle of As
degrees.
1t is now suspected that mosqui-
toes transmit yellow fever and some
claim to know of instances where
smallpox has been so communicated.
Since the mosquito has been I'M
der investigation by medical men
much valuable knowledge has been
obtained relative to its nature and
habits;-They do not go far from
their breeding places which are uni
formly in pools of stagnant water.
They cannot fly except in calm
weather. They are easily extermi-
mated. A little kerosene or crude
petroleum poured on the water
where they are accustomed to breed
will prevent the eggs from Matching
and will destroy the larvae. A bar
rel of rain water is a favorite breed
ing place for mosquitoes and one
barrel has been found to have turned
out as many as 10000 in month.
a little kerosene on the water or
covering the barrel will prevent their
propagation.
There are numerous remedies for
driving these pests away from the
person or alternating the pain of
their bite. Pungent odors will keep
them at a distance, as the fumes from
the burning of pyrethrum. Camphor
or the oil of pennyroyal or oil of
peppermint are effective agencies.

KILLING AT DOS CABEZAS.
J. E. Stewart Shot by a Mexican
 on Tuesday Morning.

J. E. Stewart was shot and killed al Dos Cabezas about a. m. Tuesday morning by Jesus Martinez. The two had been playing cards at the saloon conducted by Charles J. Herzig. Af. ter the game was over, they stepped up to the bar to shake dice, in which Herzig joined. Some dispute arose over the affair and Stewart called Mar tinez - liar. The lie was passed between the two and Stewart struck Martinez, forcing him up in a cor nor of the room and striking his head against the window, breaking the glass. Martinez kept telling Stewart to stop striking him as he was not able to fight and did not care to fight. Her. zig then came from behind the bar and pulled Stewart away, who said he was ''going to kill the Mexican--------'' Stewart again repeated, "Don't hold me. I will kill him." Martinez, at this juncture, fired two shots in quick succession and Stewart fell to the floor at the end of the bar. Herzig then went towards Martinez, who fired two more shots. Leaving the place by the front door, Herzig went to arouse De- putty Sheriff Otto Moore, who later ar- rested Martinez. Stewart walked to the house of P. A. Boyer, entered it and told Boyer that Martinez had kill ed him. He died about half an hour afterwards. One bullet had entered the right side, passing through his body and coming out on the left side: another struck his leftleg. A. c. Carl son brought the news down early Tues day morning, and Judge Nichols and Deputy Sheriff Robertson left for the scene. An inquest was held and cor oner's jury was summoned, consisting of w. H. Newell, R. Vanwinkle, Chas. Noble, Perry Wildman, James Scow and Richard McGregor, who returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound, the gun when fired being in the hands of Jesus Martinez, and they fuLther found that the shooting was justifiable and done in self-defense.-Ra News.

It is reported that some of the arte- sian wells bored during the past year in the artesian belt lying between Sol omonville and the Graham mountains have been recently filling in water. This is attributed to the fact, which is no doubt correct, that none of these wells have been cased all the way down and the holes have caved in and shut off the flow. It is thought that if these wells are cased all the way down there will be no danger of losing the flow of water.

red and green have been added to the

the early designs as originally carried

is hand woven, and the threads used for
embroidering are dyed with vegetable
dyes of their own manufacture, made ac-
