CouIdu't See II.

A trifling technicality was the basis of
the argument, and, after deciding upon a
referee, each man stated has contention, re-
lates the Chicago Post
Il don't see the difference" said the ref
cree.

ones.
No, l don't"
We'll, now, see here" And each one
very carefully stated his position again.
Now do you see it" they asked.
"No"
Well, you are dull" But, nevertheless,
each one went over the ground again.
How about it now?" they asked.
i still fail to see it, was the reply.
DO you ever expect to see it?" one Of
them asked, sarcastically.
Not unless you put it in writing" he re-
piled. It's all matter of words, and one
can't see the spoken word"
Thereupon they stopped the argument long
enough to throw the referee over the top OF

NOT GUILTY..
RrIckInyer Is Released from Prison
After Serving 26 Years.

Berlin, Oct. 28.-A bricklayer named
Burmeister, who has served 26 yeari
in the penitentiary, though innocent
of the crime for which he was sen,
fenced, has just been released under
singular circumstances. In 1877 Bur
meister and his father undertook tc
commit burglary at the house of &
farmer at Damsdrof, Schleswig-
stein, and Burmeister's father in Sc
doing shot and killed the farmer and
his wife.
At the trial the son confessed that
he fired the fatal shots. Both mel
were sentenced to death, but peti
ton to the emperor secured a change
in the sentence, to imprisonment fol
life. The father died in prison il
1896 and the son recently gave sucI
n circumst tantial narrative of his par.
in the affair that the authorities were
convinced that he was not guilty.

People of Allegheny. Pa. VIII Resist
Any Attempt 10 Place the CITY Under


PittSburg, Oct 29.-The residents of
Allegheny are up in arms against the
reported intention of DR.. w. X. Bait,
quarantine officer of the state board
of health, to place Allegheny under
a general quarantine 10 prevent the
spread of smallpox. There has been
friction for some time between the
Allegheny board of health and Dr..
Bait as to the methods pursued in
stamping out contagious diseases and
it was announced yesterday from
Philadelphia that DR.. Bait was en-
route to Allegheny to establish gen
eral quarantine unless his ideas were
put into force by the Allegheny board
of health.
The officials and many pror.hcnt
residents of Allegheny are incensed
at the stand alleged to have been
taken by DR.. Bait and claim to have
the sanitary condition of their city
well in hand and vigorously resent
any interference by the state authori-
ties.
Major James \. Mclaughlin, super
intendcnt of the Allegheny health
bureau, said last night:
I'VE do not need any outside help.
We have money and men, and, what
is more, we have no epidemic of
smallpox. This morning, according
to the reports from my doctors,
there are 81 cases of the disease in
the city limits. Eleven Of these are
i'll the pesthouse and the other 20 are
scattered, under guard, through the
various wards. OF the 20 no less than
II are on the verge of dismissal from
quarantine. They have been con-
valescent for days and are about
ready to be discharged. As far as the
state quarantine goes we will resist
it."

In a downtown church, as the story
goes, there was introduced new hymn
last Sunday, and after the disposal of the
services, the organ blower found his way

The Mcbride Case Again.

st. John, Kan, Oct. 26.-Mr. and Mrs
William Mcbride and Jesse l.. Lines, M.
D., have gone before Mr.. George E.
Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con-
firming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcbride.
DR.. Lines is particularly emphatic in
his statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd'. Kidney Pills, and moth
ing else, saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af-
fected.
In heir sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride say:
The very day we began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven Of
these Epleptic spells or fits In less than
a week he ceased having them entirely"
The case has caused great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state
ments have confirmed the whole story.

MEASURING WAFER
How 1t is Done Under the New California
State Law.

Many old timers, and perhaps
all the newcomers, says a Cali
fornla exchange, are unaware
that the legislature two years
ago fixed by law the standard
miners inch for measuring water.
In answer to a question as to
the different methods of meas
uring water, there are three
the inch, the cubic foot per sec
ond and the acre foot. The min
er's inch is a flow of IA cubic
feet of water per minute meas
ured through any orifce, estab-
lished by legislative act of March
%, 1901. This removes all stip-
ulations as to the size of the
oritice, pressure above the orr
fee or any other conditions of
flow. In measuring small guam
titles of water, the number of
inches may be determined by
dividing by 112 cubic feet 'fow
per minute measured first in
liquid gallons, and from this, to
cubic feet. In measuring water
in cubic feet per second it has the
advantage of precision in state
ment, and being adapted to the
measurement of large or small
volumes. 1t is equivalent to a
flow of 43 1-5 cubic inches per
second according to the Califor-
MIA statute. Or one cubic foot
per second is equivalent to 40
miners inches by statutory
ratio. The last method is the
acre-foot plan. 1t is the quanti-
ty of water that will cover an
acre one foot deep, and is equiv
alent to 1850 cubic feet, an
acre of land containing that
number of square feet of surface.
There being Sc, 400 seconds in
"a hours, and 81, 200 cubic feet
on an acre covered two feet deep
with water, it follows that a
flow of one cubic foot per second
will approximate two acre feet
in "a hours, Hence it has be
come customary to speak of a
flow of one cubic foot per sec
ond for "a hours (the standard
of measurement in many States)
as two acre feet.

A HINT TO MERCHANTS
They Should Educate Their Customers by

business

A correspondent at Irvington,
ILL.,, writing to his home paper,
the Ashley Gazette, gives some
pointed facts about mail order
houses and how to lessen their
trade, and how country merch-
ants may hold their customers.
Here is what he says:
"If our home merchants would
advertise their goods properly
the large supply houses would
find sheir trade falling off in the
country districts. The big de-
partment stores advertise to the
extent of thousands of dollars
every month, and give prices on
every article, while the home
merchant if he advertises at all,
seldom quotes prices. We like
to read in our home paper the
prices for which we can buy
goods from our home dealers,
together with a description of
the goods, so that we may know
what we can purchase from our
home stores. The home merch-
ant, nine times out of ten, sells
his goods as cheap as the same

MOONLIGHT IRRIGATION
Water Goes Further at Night Than During d
Hot, Dry Day.

Moonlight nights at this time
of the year are the best tor irri-
eating. Water will go farther
at night than during a dry, hot
dav. The effect on plants is also
better when irrigation is done at
night. Some crops, such as
beans, are frequently scaided by
being watered in the heat of the
day. Cantaloupes, especially at
ter they begin to vine consider
ably, are easily injured by irriga-
ton on hot davs. The work OF
applying water to the fields at
night is pleasant, and, as a rule,
many of the neighbors who are
interested in the same lateral or
ditch will not care to use the
water at night, thus giving a
larger head to those VINO VIII 40

farms where water is scarce
most of the season two gangs
are run regularly to advantage.
One takes care of the water dur

present, it is almost necessary to
have someone with the water at
all times when it is being run.

TUNNfLING THE SIERRAS
Hartman Mas Ordered the Work to be Com
menCed.

Forty-fve miles of new track,
including tunnel through the
crest OF the Sierras, is among
the improvements to be made on
the Southern Pacific in the imme-
diate future, according to the
information given at Union Pa
cific headquarters at Omaha this
week. The new track and the
tunnel will cost between FIVE
and seven million dollars and
will reduce the maximum grade
over the mountains to sixty-fve
feet and also eliminate forty
miles of snow-sheds, which are
now necessary to the old line.
The work will reduce the high
point on the line by five hundred
feet. No distance will be saved
by these improvements; in fact,
the line will be a tr1fle longer
than the present one, but the in
creased distance will be more
than made up by the decrease in
the grade and the elimination of
the snow sheds, which have al
Wavs been a source of much

Pacific have gone over the plans,

pleted an inspection, all of them

officials to undertake the work
and is evidently bound to make
good his assertion that when all
improvements are made on the
line the distance between New
York and San Francisco will be
Travelled in three days and n
halt, and that no transcontinent-
al line can be built which can
compete with the new road for
business.
