A delegation Of people from Highland

Al residents of Highland Park asking

filed with the commissioners and q re-
monstrance signed by ia residents of

object. If the right of way is granted
on Maryland avenue then the road will
start condemnation proceedings in or
der to cross the Curry and Dudley pro-
perties. II the road is allowed to run
on Maryland avenue it will pass in front
of eight residences and the owners of
six of the residences have objected. w.

JOHN TIMM CASE.
Wellington News Tells About Ma
Released From Asylum.

The Wellington News, printed in Sum-
ner county, near Mulvane, where John
Timm, the man who was released from
the Topeka insane asylum through the eff
forts of his attorneys in a habeas corpus
proceeding In the supreme court lived,
prints an account of Timm's shooting W.
r. Warren and Samuel Butts. The News
says:
''Timm explained that he would 60 to
Missouri and work on dairy farm. but
nobody around Mulvane expects him to
stay there very long. He has sworn to
kill certain people, and he has kept his
pledge faithfully to the extent of trying to
exterminate them whenever he could find
them.
There a dozen people in Sumner and
Lyon counties who will not sleep 80 well
with John Timm at liberty, and no one
who knows him believes that the last
has been heard OF John Timm and his
wrongs. He is very cunning and seems
to have no desire for liberty except to seek
out and wreak vengeance upon those
whom he believes to have assisted in TAX
ing from him his hard earned m oney- He
lost all he had. over two thousand dollars
by the bank failure eleven years ago, but
time does not lessen his determination to
destroy those whom he feels to have been
party to his loss. For the most part the
objects OF his wrath are innocent OF any
offence but he cannot be made to think
So II John Tfmm lives and has hio lib

die by his hand"

THE IRRIGATION BILL.

IFrom the Syracuse IN. " HERALD
The Newlands irrigation bill. passed
by the last congress and now a law,
is probably less generally understood
in the east than any other great nation
al measure adopted during the session,
although the work for which it pro-
vides is one of the greatest ever under
taken by the United States govern
mentor any other government, for
that matter
Nearly one-half of the total area Of
the United States exclusive of Alaska,
is arid, and some idea of the immensely
of Representative Newlands' plan may
be gained when it is stated that of this
vast area, it is estimated that about
60.000.000 acres-a territory as large as
Illinois and Iowa-may be reclaimed
within the next thirty years under the
provisions of that plan.
The plan itself is novel one, mas
much as it does not call for a dollar to
be taken directly from the United States
treasury. although providing for an ex-
penditure which. it Is estimated, will
foot UP to fully $3.50. 1000, 900 within the
next thirty years. The bill provides, in
brief, that the receipts from the sale of
public lands shall go into a fund to be
huOWu as the drlQ lana reclamation
fund. Then it is provided that the set
tiers benefiting by the reclamation ac-
complished with this money shall pay
back into the fund their proportionate
share of the cost of the work, a con-
stantiy revolving fund thus being Gre
ated, which, it is estimated, will grad
ually increase from $4,000, 900, the pres
ent annual income from the sale of
public lands, to 100000 00 until the en-
tire work is accomplished.
The irrigation is to be done under the
direction of the secretary of the inter
Tor, who viii have charge of the fund
and who will have authority to make
contracts for the work only when suf-
ficient money is in the fund for each
particular section of contemplated
project.
In getting this bill through congress
Representative Francis G. Newlands
has probably made his fame secure for
all time in the west. For ten years the
able Nevada representative has labored
indefatigably to secure the adoption OF
this measure, and he is well deserving
of all the honors that can be bestowed
upon him by that vast section of the
west which he will have been mainly
instrumental in Transforming from a
desert waste into fertile and produc-
tive agricultural region AS there is al
this time $6O00.OO0 available for the
work from lands sold for the past two
years, the great reclamation projec:
may begin Immediately.

WATER Is BAD.
Well at Pumping Station Contains
Sediment.

superintendent Jesse Shaw Of the To-
peka Water company, explains that the
reason the water furnished the city has
been muddy during the last few days is
on account of the sediment left in the
large well by the high water Of the
river.
Mr.. Shaw denies that the company is
pumping water from the river but ad-
mits that the users of city water are re-
ceiving water contaminated by the sedi-
ment left by the high water. The river
rose above the top Of the large well and
the well was Allied with river water.
The river has gone down and the well
is in its normal condition now except
that the high water left mud and sedi-
ment which has not yet been pumped
out but which may be before all the
people in Topeka get sick.
