The opera house manager will pre-
sent, next Wednesday evening, the
latest sensation, the new melodrama
entitled "The Conyict's Daughter :
which has met with brilliant success
everywhere. Plays whose prominent
features are love. heart interest, hero
ism: comedy. pathos. vice and virtue,
always find favor and these are the
dominant characteristics of "The Con-
vict's Daughter" The scenes are laid
in the south and various pes of life,
good, bad and Indifferent, including a
unique tramp character are introduced
while the scenic display is said to sur
pass all previous attempts at stage
realism. The plot is original and rea-
sonably developed in FIVE acts of in.
tense action. One scene shows con-
Wet jumping from his prison wall to
the roof of passing freight train,
which is conceded to be the most
astounding and realistic scene ever
presented on the stage. 1t is most
expensive production. Don't forget
the date, Wednesday, Sept. Oath.
1t is our lot this week to chronicle
death of Mrs. a. L. Harvey at the

The end was expected as she was un.
conscious for several days and without
pain she passed into the reward of a
noble christian woman.
Six children survive her, all OF whom
were privileged to be present with her
during her last hours of consciousness
at which time she hoped to get we'll

she did not recover, "all was we'll"
After short service at the house
the body was taken to Logan, Iowa,

EXCAVATING WITH WATER.
VARIED ENGINEERING WORK PER
FsRMED WITHOUT A SHOVEL
OR CART.

People VINO are familiar with the hydraulic
mining industry as conducted in California
know that an extensive bank of sand and gravel
can be eaten away at astonishing rate by a
powerful jet of water. The debris is often car
ried considerable distance by the liberated
fluid. Water thus performs a double mission.
II cuts away in one place. and IT deposits IN an
other. Engineers have recently made number
OF applications of this agency to the objects they
have in view. One of the latest. and certainly
one of the oldest, is making water work for It
self by the use of 1t In the construction of an
irrigation canal. This service Is sometimes per-
formed by diverting part of the stream which Is
eventually to feed the canal. and sometimes by
obtaining a jet from another source. But in
either case the same fluid is employed TO dig
which is afterward to flow in the channel thus
created.
The United States Geological Survey is giving
a great deal of attention nowadays to the mat
ter of water supply in comparatively arid re-
gicns 1t manifests a special interest In the
subject of irrigation. F. Fl. Newell. hydrog-
rapher of that bureau. has thus become famil-
lar with the methods in vogue in all parts of
the country. and consequently with the practice
here referred to. The Tribune is indebted 10 him
for most of the following statements. and also
for the accompanying photographs.
The picture shows two streams of water di-
rected against a bank. the material detached
by the force of the stream being conducted
away by the same means. The water has been
brought out from a mountain stream. carried in
a ditch, and then confined in pipes, these
descending 10 the point where the excavation is
to be made. In the present instance a deep cut
is being constructed through a hill for the pur-
