COLORADO PUTS HER ANSWER IN.

Colorado has filed its answer in the Supreme Court
to the claim made by Kansas prior right to the use
of the waters CT the Great Arkansas river Colorados
answer denies every allegation in general and every
claim in particular put up and made BY Kansas, BIZ
admits nferentay that Kansas had used the waters pre-
viousy fer surface irrigation The lodges the
claim however and which the principal claim Of Kan
sak that the farmers The Arkansas valley in Kansas
years previous to the admission Of Colorado had bought
their lands in good faith from the Government under the
conviction and assurance from actual experience and
demonstration that the Of the said river alone
rendered the lands vauasle or susceptible OF successful
cultivation ana this is not that these were to
be utilized in irigating said lands but that the lands
were naturally subirrgated and rendered productive
and valuable by the underow which of had gone
on from time immemoria and which they naturally e1
pected would continue to the end of time Colorados
subsequent sequesuation Of these for its own
bencet took from the their riparian and
vested rights II short the Government sold the lands
to the Kansas farmers with the river running through

eminent after selling the said lands under such condi
tons now permit newer community and later devel

The temperance element in Great Britain has taken
the sensible step towards reducing drunkenness not by

wherever tried but by the reduction regulation Of

the result that while in ISIS there 9649 arrests for

POLK MILLER'S RECITAL.
Entertains Large Audience With His
Jokes and Songs.

Polk Miller made his second appearance
here last night At his first entertainment
there were not enough seats to go around
In fact, there were about 300 or 400 peo-
pie who had to pocket their tickets and
their wrath and go home or go to some
other place of amusement. The result was
that Mr. Miller played to a second large
audience within thirty days at Odd Fei-
lows Hall. He will give another enter
tainment tonight.
Mr.. Miller is n rare artist. If you want
to lose about forty years Of your life, to
be carried back to the days of uncle and
NANNY to the days of the real old
time ''darky'' in all his glory. you want to
hear Polk Miller. Nobody else can do it.
He puts the real people on the stage. Fiji
teen minutes of Polk Miller equals a cycle
of Southern history. You forget that there
is only one man on the stage and that he
is white. You see the Southern planta-
tion as it existed in all its glory in the
days ''b'f TO- de wah.' You hear the old
songs in the old way. The cotton fields
bloom before you. and you hear those
darkeys singing in the fields of sugar.
cane and corn.
When it is all over you realize with a
shock that only Mr. Miller has been on
the stage. You look in vain for the peo-
pie whom you thought you saw and were
sure you heard. You did hear them, but
it was through the magic of Mr.. Miller's
voice ana the hypnotic influence OF his
twanging of the banjo.
