WATER AS MOTIVE POWER.
1t Is Believed I'm New York That Nj
agara Falls May Yet Turn
Their Wheels.

Interest in the subject of return
to water power as a primary agent in
supplying motor energy is stimulated
by the news that Baltimore's trolley
system is to be run by the Susquehan-
ma river force. The methods to be
applied are those of the Niagara plan,
by which the great cataract evolves
electric power for mills, traction lines
and street and house illumination all
through its corner of New York state.
1t is the idea in Baltimore that the
Susquehanna energy may yet run the
cars and light the streets and build
ings in number of Maryland towns,
says the New York World So in the
Empire state there lis the dream, per-
haps to be realized yet, that the tre-
mendous Niagara power now going to
waste, will become of avail even in
Manhattan. To the dawning of such
an approach to smokeless age we
might give hearty welcome in the pres

what unique and very unusual instru-
ment yesterday was filed for record in
the Office of the register of deeds. 1t
was a deed from John M. Burke to
the Winfield Masterman Burke relief
fund and conveys to the fund $4,000
600 worth of real and personal proper
ty, which Mr.. Burke donated to en-
dow hospital for convalescents some
time ago.
The deed recites the object of the
donation and also recites that the fund
was named for Mr.. Burke's mother
and limits and describes the use to
which the income from this vast prop
erty can be used.
This, deed is of considerable impor-
lance to the people of Lyon county, in
asmuch as it covers to the fund some
10000 acres of land in this county
This land was purchased by Mr..
Burke many years ago from the Wi
mona & st. Peter Railroad company
and has since been held by him. The
land has never been improved and has
. never been offered for sale.
Many of the owners of adjoining
land have been waiting for this op-
portunity to enlarge their farms. The
fund trustees will put the land on the
market. Much of it will be taken at
once at high figure.

mont yesterday afternoon. The old
man, who is practically alone in the
world, occupies room at the home of
P. G. Baird, chairman of the town
board. A door in McDougall's room
opens on a high porch. He is fond of
summing himself in an easy chair on
the porch, and was so passing the
time away yesterday afternoon, when
he evidently fell asleep and rolled off
the porch, hitting the hard ground be-
low with considerable violence. He
was on his feet in an instant and
walked into the house as if nothing
had happened. Later, however, it was
discovered his arm had been bruised,
and it is feared that he may have been
injured internally. While at present
he does not appear to be in very
serious condition, it is feared, owing
to his old age, the accident may re-
suit fatally.

TAfI's ORIGINAL PLAN MAY GO

Washington, Oct. 4.-Three years is
the period of time now fixed in the
minds of the officials of the war de-
partment as requisite. for complete
settlement of the Philippine friars'
lands question, if it is to be adjusted
on the present basis.
This appears to be an extraordinary
waste of time, but it is accounted for
by the statement that so many and
complicated are the land titles to be
Philippine civil government cannot
satisfactorily adjust them in less time.
1t was after full realization of the
difficulty in the way of adjustment of
title by the long, tedious and exacting
Spanish method which prevails in the
Philippines that Gov. Taft, by direc.
ton of Secretary Root. made a propo-
sition to the Vatican to pay down a
lump sum of money, the Philippine
government thereby assuming all
risks of defective titles. The PROPOSE
ton, however, having been declined,
yet the willingness to sell having been
admitted on the part of the religious
orders, there was no way out of it but
to fall back on the established meth
DDS of title settlement, and where, as
in this case, the title runs back sew
eral hundred years, and are
Held Under Tenures
unknown to English common law prac
tice, the settlement is bound to be
very difficult. Mgr. Guidi who has
been named as the representative of
the pope, has not yet left Rome, so
far as the officials here know, conse-
quently it is not probable that the
actual negotiations between himself
and Gov. Taft can begin at Manila
much before the end of the present
year.
1t is pointed out here that the actual
sufferers from the protracted settle
ment of the friars' lands issue are
the friars themselves. The Philippine
government is now practically in pos
session of much of their property, and
the municipalities from which the
friars have been expelled hold most
of the remainder, so that the friars'
orders are in the position of waiting
on the decision of the appraisers for
their very sustenance.
This fact is regarded as likely to
lead, in the near future, to a change
of the Vatican program. and it would
not surprise the officials here if, be-
fore the negotiations have progressed
very far, the Vatican would suddenly
decide to return to the original prop
osition of Gov. Taft and drop the
whole negotiations in favor of a
prompt settlement on the basis of
lump sum.

!: MANY PERSONS ARE BITTEN
'HoRsEs, CATTLE AND SWINE IN
GREAT NUMBERS ALSO
VICTIMS.
NEARLY Y EVERY CITY AFFLICTED Il
STATE AUTHORITIES APPEALED
TO TO STAMP OUT THE
INFECTION.

Milwaukee, Oct. 2. = Hydrophobia,
like wave, is sweeping over Wiscon-
..sin. Cases have appeared in dozens of
places and in nearly every instance
zone or two or more persons have been
bitten.
This is not the worst aspect of the
matter. The mad dogs are biting
horses, cattle and swine, until the do
nestle animals are dying of rabies.
The state authorities have been ap-
pealed to to aid in stamping out the
infection, but every resource of the
doctors seems to be of no avail, A
mad dog which has bitten half dozen
people and at least fifty dogs, and is
still at large, has caused reign of
terror at Hartford. Searching parties
have been organized and are securing
the town in search of the animal,
while persons who have the temerity
to venture upon the street are all
armed. 1t is thought that most of the
dogs in the city have been bitten and
any number has been shot as a meas
:, ure of precaution. His first victim
was Ransom Amidon, a boy thirteen
years old, the son of a leading jeweler.
The dog attacked the boy on the street
and lacerated his leg severely. The
dog also bit four other children, among
them two little girls of the Joss fam
; lily who were playing in the front yard
;; at their home when the animal leaped
the fence, and before they could es-
cape bit them both severely. Anton
'Oestrischer was also bitten.
For three weeks residents of
Abrams and vicinity have been in con-
;stant fear and excitement over what
is Enthusiastically hydrophobia.
A dog owned by Herman Whine,
farmer, was attacked with what ap-
peared to be rabies. The animal bit
Mr.. Winine's mother and then at
tackled the stock on the farm, which,
after being bitten, showed signs of
hydrophobia. Mrs. Whine was taken
ill. Later Mr.. Winine's son Chester
was bitten by horse. Whine has
large herd of cattle and a great many
horses. Three head of cattle have
died and several others. are sick. He
has been obliged to shoot two of his
horses which were bitten by the dog
and showed signs of the disease.
These are only few cases, but
nearly all the cities of the state are
having similar trouble.
