A Curious Dilemma.

A well-krlown member of congress from
a state close to the District of CoIum-
pla recently had an experience which he
does not care to repeat He is being
treated with electricity for stomach trout
bic, and twice a week he swallows a
steel button with a thin wire attached
and connected with an electric battery,
The opposite pole of the battery is then
placed ON the outside of his stomach
and the circuit thus formed. Several
Gays ago the congressman was taking
ms treatment and the doctor was ner-
Tous. After making the connection with
the battery he pulled out the plug about
TOUR notches too far A muffled Shrek
Of surprise burst from the REPRESENTATIVE
and a he made wild plunge forward,
Following him came the battery and the
DOCTOR. The member could not release
himself from the battery, and in some
way way +, the doctor had made connection
the room they went. with the battery
banging against the furniture and main
tanning a steady and internal blizzing.
AFTER few minutes of this exercise the
physician managed to make his patient
understand that he must keep still long
enough for the doctor to force in the
plug with his foot. This was done ami
the agony was over.

CHINESE PUNISHMENTS DELAYED
UNTIL TUESDAY

PEKIN, Feb. 24-Full texts of the i'm
perial edict regarding punishn1ents were
sent last evening to the ministers CT the
powers, identical with the official report
OF the contents Of the edict cables to the
Associated Press The ministers say
there is IA little confusion with reference
to strangulation and suicide, but that
this is not important.
Ii Hung Chang received a bulletin an
nouncing the sentences which could be
lest carried into effect by the board OF
punishment, and he requested the Jap
anese to deliver Ying Men and Chao
ShU Chiao in order that the sentences in
their cases might be executed today in
conformity with the edict but the Jap
anese considered the notice too short and
have delayed the enforcement of the pen
alties until Tuesday in order that the
ministers of the powers might send rep
resentatives as they desire.
1t is also intended to guard the men
at the place of execution so as to pre-
vent suicide or escape.
When official confirmation, duly certi-
fed by high officers Of state, of the SEN
fences Of death upon the others shall
have been received and these two have
been executed, China will have prac-
tically complied with the terms demand
ed by the powers as she has already
agreed to issue edicts prepared by the

everything required by the powers, eX-
cept the payment Of the indemnities the
amount of which has not been decided.
He thinks arrangements should be made
for the evacuation of Pekin in order to
enable the court to return. He says he

flkE'S PEAK CLOUD
BURST PLAYS HAVOC

Cripple Creek. Colo. May 20.-Tbe-
two largest reservoirs OF the Victor
water works, near the head Of Little
Beaver creek. went ont this afternoon,
sending q wall of water twenty feet
high down the g,llch. One bent Of the
high trestle on the Short Line railway
WINS taken out. stopping trNffic for
probably two days. The great wave
Of water rolled down the gulch, wip-
ing out three dwelling houses near the
Spinney mill and breaking against the
new steel concrete dam OF the Pixies
Peak Power Company, two miles be
low. Fortunately the engineer for q
freight engine crossing the trestle saw
the wall Of water coming down from
above and started the engine whistle
blowing as IA warning. while driving
his engine across to safety.
The inmates of the cabins in the
sweep Of the water heard the whistle,
rushed out, and seeing the water COM
ing down upon them, escaped to the
hills. The big dam Of the Power
company showed the metal of which
1t is made by withstanding the mighty
onrush Of the water. The :ommissary
was swept away, the men escaping to
the hills. Water poured four feet over
the top of the dam, but receded In
thirty minutes to the normal height.
No lives were lost.
A cloudburst on Pixies Peak took
out the reservoir dams, which, had
been weakened by the heavy rains of
the past week. Superintendent Krat-
ger OF the Victor system will start re-
pair work Mt once, but 1t will be a.
long and difficult job. Victor is left
with 800 gallons of water stored in the
Battle mountain and Bull hill tanks.
This, with careful outstanding, will
last two weeks for domestic purposes,
but the mines which have been rely
ing on the city plant for supply will
be shut off and some of them may be
forced to shut down. The telephone
line from Cripple Creek to Colorado
Springs was carried away by the
floods. The damage to property Will
be about 5000.

Taxpayer. viii Test New Revenue Law


Denver, Colo, May 1s.-The Pueblo
correspondent of the Denver News
says:
Thirty days will probably elapse be-
fore court proceedings are begun to
test the validity of the new revenue
law. Attorneys for all the great cor
porations in Pueblo and Denver have
neld several conferences at the capital
and here, and they are continuing their
consideration by mail. All interests
opposed to the law will unite in n sin
gle case to test the regularity of the
statute and proceedings will be taken
either in Pueblo or in Denver.
Decision has not finally been reached
as to the method of attack, but unless.
there is a change from the plans at
present the assault will be made
through that portion of the bill re-
quiring the payment of fee of 81 into
the District Court on the institution of
a new suit. II this method Is adopted
complaint of some sort will be pre-
sented to the clerk of the District
Court of Pueblo or Denver and of
course when refusal to pay the 81 rev.
enue fee is announced the clerk will
refuse to receive the case. Steps will
then be taken to secure a writ of man
ulnluS 10 coulpel Acceptuuce ol tHe
documents in the case without pay
ment of the 81 revenue fee. In sup
port of the request for writ of man
damus there will be cited all the al
legged irregularities in the passage of
the bill and the attack will cover the
validity OF passage of the entire meas
ure. In this way the whole question
will Ike presented to the court in con-
nection with one of the most tritling
sections of the law.
