sion This Week at Waterloo.

tural college will act as judge OF the ex-

takes on unusual Importance because it is
the only big convention in this section of
the west this year. The national a~ssocia-
ton will not meet at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
as originally planned, because 1t has been
decided best not to hold a session of the

cry and butter men from all parts of Iowa
and from adjoining states will be present.

have been arranged for forty Of them at

RUINED, BY a MONUMENT
A Widow Forced by a VIII to Build a
Costly Tomb.

Costly Tomb.
New York, 0 16.-Mrs Elizabeth
Welsen flied a petition in bankruptcy yes
terday because she has been ruined by an
order Of court to build a over
her husbands grave. Her liabilities are
placed at $i2, 947, with no available assets.
When her husband. a wealthy resident of
the Bronx, died two years ago, 1t was
generally believed that Mrs. Weisen would
be able to live on the income Of his prop-
erty. His will decreed that a magnificent
monument be erected for himself and his
wife in Woodlawn cemetery. He had lac
plans drawn.
Whether he had oyerestimated his
wealth, or whether he underestimate the
cost of the monument is still a matter Of
doubt among his relatives. 1t was found
that the estate would not only be con-
sumed, but that the Widows own re-
sources would be taxed heavily to carry
out her late husbands wishes. Mrs. Wei
sen appealed to the courts for relief, but
1t was decided that so far as his estate
was capable of bearing the expense his
wishes must be carried out. The monu-
ment, one Of the finest In Woodlawn. has
been built, and Mrs. Weisen is now worse

SAYINGS OF JESUS
IN ANCIENT RECORD
Many Hitherto Unknown Found
in Egyptian Papyri Re-
Gently Discovered.
SHOW MANY VARIATIONS
Some Are Strikinsly Different From
Those Familiar in the Accepted
Bible Texts-Date From
Second Century.

London, Nov. I.-Many hitherto I'M
known sayings of Jesus Christ have
been discovered in Egypt by %archaeolo-
gists who have dug up papyri buried
since the second century. 100 miles
south of Cairo. DR.. Bernard P. Gren-
fell, who has been engaged in Egyp-
tian excavations many years. at q gen.
eral meeting of the Egypt exploration
fund here, gave the following details.
Accompanied by DR.. Hunt, DR.. Gren-
fell found a rich Ptolemaic metropolis
at Ethibeh. The bulk of the documents
from one mound consisted of collections
of sayings of Jesus. They are all in
PRODUCED with the words, Jesus satin,
and for the most par are new. Inc
ends of the lines, unfortunately, are
often obliterated. Apparently all the
sayings were addressed to Saint
Thomas. One of the most remarkable
Is:
Let not him that seeketh cease from
his search until he find, and when he
fnds he shall wonder; wondering, he
shall reach the kingdom of heaven; and
when he reaches the kingdom he shat!

Very Valuable Finds.
'Dr. Grenfell remarked that enor-

discoveries on account of the variations

in st. Luke, 1.-The Kingdom of God is

saying in the papyrus appeared in
quite different surroundings from those
attributed to it by the evangelist and
extended far into another religion.
According to DR.. Grenfell these say;
ings formed a new gospel which is ira
~ditiona!ly associated with st. Thomas.
One fragment contained a discourse of
Christ closely related to the passages of
the sermon on the mount, and a con-
versation between Christ and his dis
ciples in which Christ answers a ques-
ton as to when his kingdom will be
realized, saying.

papyrus written in Latin, giving the
text OF the epistles of the Hebrews and

This ~with<other papyri covering the
period from $50 to 1871 3. c. threw such
new and valuable information on the
history of the world and marked the
recovery of hitherto lost classical lit
erature of Egypt.

FOR IRRIGATION.
Congressional Delegation viii Consider
Natter With Department Officials.

Matter With Department Of1ciaiS'
washington, Nov. 19.-The South Da-
kota delegation, on the initiative of Rep
resentatives Burke and Martin, will hol2
a meeting with a view to having plahs
nerfected for irrigation work in that
state. IT is understood that all the neces-
sary Withdrawals of public land have al
ready been made at the suggestion OF the
government engineers who spent the sum
mer looking over the field, which VIII
mean that opportunities for land specuia-
ton will be reduced to a ana
that is what the government wants. Inc
places in the state where irrigation work
will probably be lone will not be disclosed
until after tomorrow's meetings., and per-
,haps not them, but 1t is understood the
people of the state have a good general
knowledge of where most Of the available
projects should be located and of where
the engineers were at work this year.
There is to be a concerted movement on
the part of the DakotaS n several other
states to secure a larger share of the ma
tional irrigation fund than the govern
ment, under the present plan, seems dis
posed to allow them. and to that end SEN
ator McCumber today introduced a bill
providing that all money secured from the
sale of public lands, in any irrigation
states, shall go to the credit of that state
and not be put into the general fund for
expenditure mostly elsewhere. Senate
McCumbe points out that North Dakota
and oregon, for instance. have contrib
uted half or more of the present irrigation
funds of s15,000.0 600 and yet that the gov
is proposing to expend in North
Dakota only a few hundred thousand dol
lars, and in Oregon practically nothing
for the present. 1t looks as II there Is
some sort of a combination between the
members from other irrigation states to
gobble up the lic..s share of the fund,
and if so Senator McCu1nber wants to
know about 1t. The Oregon senators join
with him.
The plans for national irrigation in
North Dakota now look to the reclana-
ton of only about 10000 acres, whereas
Senator McCumber says there are at
least 100000 acres which can be re-
,lainled.
