In the town of Bowling Green, o., is
a laborer of the name of Fred Schmidt,
who is alleged to have fallen heir to
fortune of $1,OOO,O0 left by an uncle
in Germany. The uncle, however,
wrote it in his will that Schmidt was
not to have the money until he had
married a worthy woman. There Will
at once, of course, be hundreds of
worthy women willing to assist the
young fellow to qualify for his Inherit
ance. He says. however. that he is
going into incognito and remain a day
laborer on the streets of some city, in
order to be sure that the woman who
marries him will do so for love and
not for his fortune. 1t will be well,
therefore, for young women not to be
too quick to repulse young street la
borers, as they may be entertaining a

The dispatches a day or two ago
contained the information that thirty
four Greeks, including twelve priests,
had been sentenced to prison at Jeru-
salem for terms ranging from a week
to nine months, as a result of a clash
between Greek and Latin monks some
months ago, in the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre. The clash between the
Greeks and the Latins, it seems, arose
over dispute as to which community
had the right to sweep out the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre. Each claimed
the right, and the contention culmi-
mated last November in a collision.
Troops had been posted in the vicinity
for several days to prevent possible
outbreak, but the soldiers were sudden
ly outnumbered and overpowered by
the contending parties. Several persons

PHASES OF THE EXPERIMENTATION
CASE.

The complications in the Greene and
Gaynor case increase. Special Assistant
Attorney General Marion Erwin has
charged that there is collision between
the officials of the Dominion of Cana
da and the counsel for Greene and
Gaynor to defeat the ends of justice,
ard the Department of Justice has
asked the Department of State to
bring this phase of the celebrated case
to the attention of the British govern
ment. The counsel for Greene and
Gaynor, in response to this charge, say
that Mr.. Erwin offered to settle the
case for 100000, thereby indicating
that the United States government is
trying to collect money rather than to
bring about the punishment of crimi-
nails. A statement is made from Otta-
wa, the seat of the Dominion govern
ment, that it is to be expected that the
counsel for Greene and Gaynor will
take advantage of technicalities in
their effort to defend their clients, but
that in good time the fugitives will be
turned over to the government of the
United States, provided there is ground
for their extradition.
In our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that the Department of State is
moving slowly in the matter that has
been referred to 1t, for the reason that
it is very serious thing for one gov
eminent to intimate to another that
its judiciary is guilty of crooked con-
duct. It seems that the basis of the
trouble between Senator Bailey Of
Texas and Solicitor Penheld Of the De-

Mr.. Louis Mesmer, who concluded that
100000 acre-feet could be obtained with
certainty by pumping from the water
plane of the Kings River delta. The
transmission OF power and the operation
of the pumping plants were investigated
by Mr.. Lewis A. Hicks. who concludes
that the annual pump output would be
32S. 500 acre-feet on the basis of use for
S2Sls days. at a cost of $1,000 per acre
foot produced.
Land Could Be Added.
BY these means 200 600 additional acres
OF irrigated land could be added to the
community.
Mr.. F. II. Newell, photographer in
charge, says In his letter of transmittal:
THE situation on Kings River is to q
certain extent typical of that along a
number of important streams of the West.
and as a result of this investigation 1t is
believed that the reclaimable area can be
greatly extended by the construction of
storage works, and also of power plants
by means of which, through electrical
transmission. pumps can be operated at
small expense out on broad valleys The
demonstration of these conditions will
prove one of the most important steps
toward the transformation and utilization
of the fertile butt arid lands

Kings River drains the western slope Of

for it means the conservation of the

The river debouches from its mountain
drainage basin upon the plains of Fresno,
Kings and Tulare counties. sometimes
spoken of as the Kings River delta, which
are near the geographic centre of the
State, and present great variety of eli
mate and soil. Fresno and Hanford. the
principal towns. are about 200 miles dis
tant from San Francisco and Los An
geles.
Productive Country.
Lumber. gold. copper. petroleum. grain.
oranges. lemons, many varieties of de-
ciduous fruits, grapes, raisins, wines and
brandies are produced in this region in
commercial quantities. There are more
than 500. 900 deciduous fruit trees in Fres-
no county. There are about 10000 acres
Of vineyards. 1t is the great raisin dis
trict of California. The citrus belt. as
is the case in southern California, is
narrow strip of land at the base OF the
mountains.
Irrigation is necessary for all varieties
of agricultural products. grains possibly
excepted. There are about 625 miles of
main irrigation canals. covering 800. 900
acres of land, on the Kings River delta.
A good water right adds about $50 per
acre to the value of the valley lands, and
about $50 per acre to the so-called FROST
less foothill lands. where the citrus
fruits, the most valuable crop. could be
raised with an increase of the present
supply of water, which has been diverted
chiefly to the lower lands.
The present combined capacity of the
Kings River canals is stated to be ap-
proximately 1000 cubic feet per second;
in September. 1898, the supply fell to
about las cubic feet per second. During
the last season the profits from the irri-
gated districts around Fresno were in ex-
cess Of 100000.
Land without irrigation supply sells
here for $40 per acre; the same land with
a good water right sells for about $50.

BUNKER TILL FAST LIFE.
Old Woman Who Walks Sixteen Miles
Every Week for Snuff.

Mrs. Christophemia Miller is eighty-one
years of age, yet once n week she walks
sixteen miles for a 2J-cent package Of
snuff. The clerks at the drug store that
she has patronized for more than score
of years expect her every Monday morn
ing. and sha never disappoints them. She
lives in the vicinity of Bunker Hin, eight
miles south of Peru, where she owns a
few acres of land and the house she calls
her home.
She lives alone. her husband having died
many years ago. Twenty-seyen years ago
Mrs. Miller came to her present home
from Germany and never since then has
she been on a railroad train. She has
made the trip between her home and this
city from once to four times a week ever
since she came to this locality. and she
has always walked. In the summer time
she carries a clothes basket full of veg
etabies upon her head to this city and
disposes of the garden truck to regular
customers.
What she earns In the summer more
than keeps up her expenses In the win
ter. and apparently she is happy. Every
one in Peru knows her, and she has often
been termed the Bunker Hill fast line,"
from the fact that she walks SO rapidly
and makes her trips SO reguiarly.-In-

A CANINE KLEproMAN1Ac.
Dog Has Stolen Shirtwaists, Brooms,
and Other Utensils.

Sur Is kleptomaniac Many animals
steal food. but Sur does not belong to this
class Of thieves. For weeks or months at
a time he may not steal at all; then one Of
his strange attacks comes on. and he takes
whatever he can lay toe on that comes
within the class Of articles he has a liking
for. Curiously these are all things in
common use in any household. SO were one
searching for motives. he would say that
Sur stole because he thought his family
needed the things. OF course instead Of
pleasing it mortifies them and things have
come to such pass that his young master
has been known to rise before daybreak
and sneak things back into the neighbors
barns.
Among the articles that Sur has pill
fered are a garden hose. an ak. hammer,
a small moquette rug. old shirt waists and
aprons. six carpet brooms, several yellow
bowls and countless lard pals.
He brings his booty and drops it on
the front lawn. and then, wagging his
tail and barking. he scratches on the
screen to let his people know he has
brought them a present.

probably like him very much, for, in
addition to the strange traits you have
been hearing about. he does many pretty
tricks. He can crawl on all-fours like
baby, leap high over stick. and walk
on his hind legs quite steadily.
Sur lives in Los Angeles. in the land of

He likes to have them peeled and quar-
