IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
President Slocum of Colorado Colleu
Delivers a Stronu Address


Delivers a Strong Address
Colorado Springs, COL, Oct. 8.-One
of the strongest addresses of the day
at the national irrigation congress
was that of President Slocum of Colo
RADIO college, who told of the need of
more extensive education of the young
people of the land in applied sciences
in order that they make the most
useful use of the benefits of the irriga-
ton law.
Willis Moore, chief of the weather
bureau at Washington, gave an adj
dress on the weather bureau irriga-
ton.
He paid a high tribute to congress
for the passage of the act and told
OF the important bearing it would
have on the work of his department.
Senator Patterson said that he be-
lieved that the irrigation act would
never have become law without the
cooperation and assistance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, following this with
the declaration that no one but Roose.
welt could ever have overcome the op-
position to the bill in the president s
own party.
The night session of the congress
was held at Colorado college, where
stereopticon lecture on "'Ancient
Forms of Irrigation" was followed by
a reception.

MYSTERIOUSLY> DISAPPEAR,
Believed an Iowa Woman Has Killed
Her Four Children and Herself.

Is
Keokuk, a., Oct 8.-Police are
searching this city and the surround
ing country for Mrs. Kate Houston and
her four little girls. They are the en-.
tire family of William Houston, who
came here with them from La Crosse,
Wis, one week ago to start feed
store The family rented house in a
good part of the city and seemed
happy to their neighbors. Houston
reported to the police during the day
that his wife had disappeared last
Friday night when he reached his
home and had left no trace. The
children range from eighteen months
to eleven years in age and had disap-
peared with the mother. The hus-
band first communicated with his
wife's sister, Mrs. Julia Logue of
Mount Pleasant, Ia., but his family
was not there. Mrs. Logue came
here and says Mrs. Houston recently
talked to her about "sOmething hap
pening' to herself, and Mrs. Logue
believes that Mrs. Houston committed
suicide after killing the children. The
husband imrresses the police we'll and
they incline to the suicide theory. A
phase OF deeper mystery is added to
the case by a note found lying on a
table in the deserted home when
Houston arrived. This note was con-
spicuously placed and contained
simply the name and address of a
prominent business man of Keokuk,
who says he never heard of Mrs.
Houston before. The husband and
sister of Mrs. Houston believe she is
insane.

Human Dispositions.

Many of US need to have our DISPOSE
tions made over. Instead of comment
ing on the sunshine we note only the
shadow; the imperfection of the indi-
vidual catches the eye first, not the
quality for commentator that he pos.
sesses. The prophet Isaiah relates
how a certain tribe 'helped everyone
his neighbour" There was no pessim.
ism in that camp. On the border line
of the great crater of the Hawaiian
volcano are roses in profusion. The
seeds have blown with the winds and
taken root in the lava. The picture is
most cheering. How different would
that crater line look if the roses were
thorns!- ''Sharpshooter" in CONNER.

American Trolley in st. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg is to have an Ameri-
can street railway. Two millionaires
of Pittsburg have obtained the fran
chise to build 200 miles of track in the
czar's capital. This is one of the most
valuable franchises in Europe, and the
fact that it goes to Americans is an
other illustration of our success in the
worlds work. A part of this success
is due to the Unborn confidence Ameri.
cans have in their own ability. This
confidence comes with drinking golden

Held during the night, causing one
known fatality and entailing a prop

o'clock a. M, but practical oil men
declare the flames will subside before

man lifted the top of his lantern to
blow out the light. The atmosphere
was heavily laden. with gas and in an
instant there was flash, followed by
sheet of flame. The blaze was CON-
municated to small setting tank
near by, owned by J. S. Corbett. In
an instant a derrick adjoining the
tank was enveloped in IRE and with
remarkable rapidity the flames spread
to other derricks in the Hogg-Swayne
tract, which comprises one of the
largest sections of the oil field. The
ire department and hundreds of cit
liens rushed to the scene, but their
efforts to check the flames were I'M

the confusion a rumor became current
that twelve or fifteen persons had per-

telephoned to many outside towns,
but careful investigation at a later
hour showed that only one fatality &C.
Cured. There are no gushers in the
Immediate vicinity of the fire and un-

confined to the destruction of seventy
