.
sippi and her tributaries, with
death and destruction to the peo-
pie of the lower valley, and ex-
acting the expenditure OF millions
upon millions of dollars on the
part of Uncle Sam to dredge and
dyke, have been advocated for
years by those OF advanced
thought who see the need of
providing more homes for the
rapidly increasing population OF
our land
President Roosevelt, in his first
message to congress, has shown
that he~has studied this problem
deeply, and in the following Ian
guage treats most intelligently
on the subject:
The forests alone, cannot, how
ever, fully regulate and conserve
the waters of the arid region.
Great storage works are neces-
sary to eqnalize the flow Of
streams and to save the flood
waters. Their construction has
been conclusively shown to be
an undertaking too vast for pri-
vate. effort. Nor can it be best
accomplished by the individual
states acting alone. Far reach
ing Interstate problems are in
vOlved, and the resources. of sim
gle states would often be made
quate. 1t is properly a national
function, at least IN some of its
features. 1t is as right for the
national government to make
the streams and rivers of the arid
regions useful by engineering
works for. water storage as to
make useful the rivers and har-
bors of the humid region by en-
gineering works of another kind.
The storing Of the floods in res.
ervoirs at the headwaters Of
our rivers is but an. enlargement
OF our present policy ofriver con
troll under which levees are built
on the lower reaches of the same
streams.
The government should con
struct and maintain these reser
voirs as it does other public
works. Where their purpose ii
to regulate the. flow of streams
the water should be turned freely
into the channels in the dry sea
son to take the same course I'm
der the same laws as the natura
flow.
The reclamation of the un
settled arid lands presents a diff
ferent problem. Here it is no
enough to regulate the flow Q
streams. The object of the gov
eminent is to dispose of the lane
to settlers who will build home
upon it. To accomplish thi
object water must be brough
within their reach.
The pioneer settlers on the ari
public domain chose. their home
along streams from which the
could divert the water to reclail
their holdings. Such opportul
tiles are practically gone. The1
remain, however. vast areas {
public land which can be mac
available for homestead settl
ment, but only by reservoirs an

Most men aud women. says an ex-
change. like to waltz, not for the
Dance but for the position and the
chance to hug and be Rugged. In the
East fashion has decreed that sitting
out a waltz is the correct thing. The
position is the same, and the hugglng
facilities vastly improved. You sit be-
side the lady, your arm around her
waist; your left hand holds her right,
her left hand on your shoulder. her
head resting lovingly on your bosom,
aud the music goes on the same. This
is much better than gailoping mile
or two to get hug. There is Ger.
tainly no more harm sitting on sofa
hugging to music than rushing around
ami squeezing the lady every time yor

sitting arrangement will be intro

were gaining rapidly, defiant of the
fire of the little fort. Reckless of Or

nearest the gate rushed out upon the
open bench. shouting encouragement
and sending long-range, chance shots.
But with every stride the fleeing steed
grew weaker, stumbled painfully and
slackened speed, and soon they saw
him slowing down despite the frantic
jabbing of the spurs, and with droop-

up the fight. And then. at sound of

bank of pale-blue smoke. Out on the

young adjutant and his faithful COM

galloped forth in obedience to their
orders and met their soldier fate. Out
to the southeast the ridge fell grad
ually away into the general level of the
rolling prairie and there, full thou
sand yards distant, there suddenly
darted into view three horsemen,
troopers evidently, squirting madly
for home.
"rhey'vc cut their way through!
Thank Cod" almost screamed the
spectators at the parapet. But their
eNultution died an instant later. Over
the ridge in swift pursuit camea dozen
painted, feathei'ed braves, their po-
MES racing at lightning speed, their
arrows and bullets whizzing along
the line of flight. The horse of the
foremost trooper was staggering, and
suddenly went rlunging headlong,
sending his rider sprawling far out
on the turf. He was up in u second,

tie the fire slacLened, and all but oc--
casional scattered shots died utterly
away. Then other forms, feathered
and bcdizened. We're seen rushing in
numbers up the distant hillside, and
that meant all was over, and the brutal
knives were busily at work. Little by
little all sound of conflict, all sight of
combatants disappeared entirely, and
the unclouded sunshine streamed down
upon a scene on which the silence Of
late that afternoon, the watchers re-
ported vast body of Indians drifting
away eastward toward the distant
Powder river, and venturesome scouts
stole out to reconnoiter, backed by
sEirmish lines from the stricken post,
they found the grassy slopes beyond
that curtaining ridge one broad field of
death, strewn with the stripped and
hacked and mangled forms of those
who had so calamity dashed forth to
the aid of comrade soldiery at the
break of day. so torn and mutilated
and dsfgured that only limited few
were identified. Officers and men, one
after another. had died in their tracks,
victims Of Red Cloud and the Ogallala
Sioux.
And all for what? Late that night
the quartermaster in wild agitation
sought his colonel's door, package in
his hands. "For Gods sake, sir, look at
this!" he cried.
The cords had just been cut, the
seals Just broken. the stout paper care
fully opened and the contents of the
precious package exposed to view. It
held no money at all. nothing but layer

 SEVERAL INJURED
Rescuers Toi|ed at the VestaI

CARS REDUCED TO SCRAPS
Portions of Dismembered Bodies Found Half Mile from the Scene of the Collision-The Track
 Blocked Till Midday.

Binghampton, N. r.. June e.-F1ve men were killed and seven injured in last nights wreck at vestal. Killed:
 John P. Kelly, head brakeman.
 s. R. Polhamus, conductor.
 Elmer Polhamus, trainman.
 John Coulter. fireman.
 Fred Witherby, fireman.
 Seven others, all but two of them trainmen, were injured.
 Several of those who were thought to be fatally hurt last night recovered from the concussion. All through the early morning hours the rescuers toiled about among the burning freight cars at the scene of the explosion, but 1t was not until late this afternoon that portions of the last dismembered body were discov- cred a quarter of mile from where the explosion occurrd, while the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad were completely blocked until past midday Both trains were complete ly wrecked, and the engines of the wild cat freight, which ran into the rear of train No 6f, which was taking water at the time, and which carried the fatal car of dynamite, were reduced to scrap iron, pieces of which have been picked up at a distance of half a mile away.
 Aside from the damage to railroad property, much minor damage is report ed. Nearly every house in the village of yestaI and Union, which is across the river from the wreck, lost more or less of its window glass, while farm houses and barns near the scene were badly shattered. None of the inmates, however. were injured.

BERLIN BOURSE
 HAD DULL WEEK
Depression Due to the Influence
 of New York
THERE WAS PLENTY ENOUGH
1t Failed to Exert a Stimulating h. fluence and the Market After Felt Panicky Feeling-Nothing
 Done in Americans.

Berlin, June 9.-Thrroughout last week the bourse continued under the influence of New York and this fact, coupled with the very considerable depression now ex- isting in business, made the week one of the dullest known for years. For this dullness a number of causes are assigned, among them the latest showing of the Reichsbank, which Is SS.0O0,0OO marks less than the corresponding exhibit for 1900.
 The continuance of the South African war, the uncertain financial news from China, the increasing fear of the growing American industry and the accommodating evidence that many German industrial es- tablishments have been over-straining and resorting to unsound financial methods, resulted in further decline of industrial values. Unfavorable reports from the Hummer Electric Company and the
