says: Many mineral waters contain
large quantities of sulphuretted h ydro-
gen (H2S); these waters come from sui
phur springs; the gas can be detected by
its peculiar ocor, which resembles that
of spoiled eggs"
1t will therefore be seen that there is
no free sulphur in Vinitas artesian wa
ter. 1t does however contain small
quantity of natural gas which separates
from the water Immediately on reaching
the air. 1t also contains from two to
three parts to one Of water Of hydrogen
sulphid gas in the solution which gives
the taste and odor This gas separates
from the water and leaves it in the

MAY PAY FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
Judge Gill makes an
Important and
Logical Ruling

Judge Gill, of the Northern Dis.
trict, has recently rendered an
important decision in regard to
minor children's interests. Walter
L. Dougherty, guardian for his
tivechildren, though his attorney
Chas. B. Rogers applied to the
court for permission to make
five year lease of the war s.
lands, consisting Of five alloiments
in th Cherokee nation, and also
praying for permission to pay Tor.
improvem6 on the said lands,
which the father and natural
guardian had purchased, before
filing on the land tor the children.
The improvements we're worth
some 1920 to $500 and the
parent had bought them, afterward
fling for the children on the SAID
lands. The court granted the
prayer and authorized the guar
dian to lease the lands and ap-
ply TO The payment for the i'm
provements enough for the rents
and profits ofsaid lands, 10 satisfy
said debt.
This is a very important decis
ion il being the first time the
question has ever been raised in
the Indian Territory aud pstab-
lishes a precedent which will ei-
fecs many thousands Of dollars
worth OF improvements.
The ruling goes to the effect
that where a parent has, before
Alag on land for bis child, pur.
chased improvements thereon for
the child's benefit, and incurred
a debt therefor, the court if salts
fed that the price paid for, or
agreed TO be paid tor said improve
ments is reasonable, and the court
upon application, will permit the
guardian to pay for said improve.
ments out Of the rents and profits
of the lands.

AUSTRALIANS GREAT NEED.
Much from Denrth of
Population.

According to the Colonial Review Of
Reviews the real. Of unconfessed,
want Of the Australian commonwealth
is the want Of population-due to the
total arrest Of immigration and the
steady shrinkage Of the birth rate,
says the Westminster Gazette
Here is a continent equal in area
TO the whole Of Europe, if T.ussia in
Europe is omitted; it is only a little
less than the United States. Whole
Kingdoms can be packed within the
borders Of each state Of the common
wealth. The natural wealth
and climatic conditions Of this great
continent are unsurpassed. Il could
support a population equal to that of
Russia or of the United States with
ease. Yet at the end Of nearly 100
years of colonization its population is
less than 100000. or about equal to
that Of a couple of London suburbs
There is no other bit of the planets
surface, we are told, at once so rich,
so tempting, and yet so nearly vacant
and so little utilized as is the contin-
ent Of Australia.
If immigration has almost ceased as
regards Australia, the natural growth
of population steadily slackens, and
the twin facts are. contends our con
temporary, the "two ugliest features
in the political and social landscape"
yet they provoke scarcely any COM
ment and occasion scarcely any dis
quiet Our annual increase Of popula-
tion was once over IL per cent. an
nually; it is now less than two per
cent. The general marriage rate has
shrunk from s.64 to 6.s7. and marriages
have not only got fewer, but they are
less prolific. The average number of
children for each marriage was once
nearly six; it is now Oily little over
four"
A complaint is made by the writer
quoted that Australia politicians deal
only with the superficial aspects Of
Australian life and society. "No one
even attempts to consider the graveT
facts such as we hs,ve described"

HAD SEEN MULES DRIVEN
And Was Anxious To Get Away
Quick.

During General Grants admin
istralion as president, the Quakers
were installed as agents at all the
Indian agencies, displacing the
army officers (much to the latters'
delight) in most cases. AS LETT

title Of majors a lot of am b ulances,

About the first order issued by
the Quakers was that all swearing

duty doDbly arduous. Out at An

ANALYSIS OF
OUR WATERS
Not Sulphur At All,
but Chiefly
Salt.

There has been much discussion the
past few weeks regarding the medicinal
qualities Of Vinita's artesian water. It
has been said that there is and is not
sulphur in the water, that the odor is
due to the sodium chloride common
salt and calcium sulphate. To have de-
termined just what the water contains,
both mineral and gas, quart was bot

CHALLENGE TO TRIBUNE.
A Democrat" Raises a Few Per
tinent Points.

lmOE NEws-CHANrt0N
! note IN issue If the Tribnne.
January 30. that that paper finally
places itself Aafo1tcd with all the
rest Of Gunuison county, coueeding
that Judge McDouga was fairly
elected
The legislative mudile is settled
and the result, (election of Senator
Teller is satisfactory to democrats.
The record shows that republicans
Ia the house arbitrarily threw out
last enough democrats to give a
show to elect a republican and that
democrats IN the senate called them
down, Whether right or wrong in
either case Is unnecessary to discuss
here, the onus of the ''throwing out
remaining with the republicans who
started the racket,
The question now up to the peo-
pie Of Gunnison county seems to be
whether or not the republicans of
the county shall have the credit(?)
of instituting the dlsgraceful con-
test against what the Tribune says
was the ''honest election of Judge
AcDougal.
A far inference would seem to be
that federal office holder from
Cripple Creek would hardly desert
his post and come over to Gunnison
county to institute a contest against
confessedly fairly elected repre-
sentative without an invitation from
"Gunnison county republicans, and
that when the federal office holder
got here with the contest papers
made up Tor perhaps they were made
mp herel he interviewed "Gunnison
county republicans" as to who would
sign them.
The News-Champion issue Of Jan
uary 20 publishes a fac -smile Of
signature of contestor to the contest
papers-drunk, of course-anyone
would say; but surely not made
drunk by DEMOCRATS for the
purpose of getting signature to
THOSE papers. Who then by ?
The SAID federal office holder would
hardly get him in that deplorable fix
except at the instigation and pre-
sumably with the money If not the
active assistance Of the "Gunnison
county republicans
In same issue the Ne~s-C hampton
publishes a fac-simile Of contestor's :
signature to withdrawal Of the
eontest-sober as a judge-anyo one
will say. Was he gotten sober by
republicans of Gunnison county
for the purpose of this withdrawal ?
Contestor withdraws his withdrawal
see Tribune Of January 9TH but
has the Tribune or have "Gunnison
county republicans" ever shown the
original of the document to demo-
Gratis or published a fac-simile Of
contestor's signature thereto, so that
anyone" could judge whether he
was drunk or sober at the time Of
signing2
In several issues Of the Tribune it
has been claimed that Mr. TAYLOR.
contestor, was made drunk by demo-
crats for some purpose connected
with this affair which, to put it
mildly. reflects no credit on "Gun-

The Eilkins bill is the result Of a, con-
ference among various senators, most Of
them being members of the Interstate
commerce committee. The purpose Is to
separate interstate comm erce and rail-
road from other trust legislation. The In
terstate commerce committee has been
unable to agree upon measures pending
before it relating to pooling and fixing
rates by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The new bill leaves these con-
tested questions out and covers features
which have been most conspicuous in the
prepare ton Of antitrust legislation.
The bill was referred to the committee
on interstate commerce, Of which Senator
Elkins is chairman, and it is the inten-
ton of the committee to take it up at
an early day. Among those who have
been consulted in the preparation of the
bill, besides Mr.. Knox We're Senators
Aldrich, .Cullcm, Foraker and Clapp. j.
Among other provisions OF the bill are
the following: @S =. 4 -.
The wilful failure to. file tariff rates
and observe them SUBJECTS the road to a
fine from 81, O0o to $50, 600; granting or
receiving rebates subjects the corpora
tons or persons to the same fine.
The interstate commerce commission
can institute suits in the United States
courts for supposed attractions of the law.
lis the duty of United States district
attorneys under direction OF the attorney
general to institute and prosecute such
suits provided for in the act.
| The bill gives the courts power to COM
pei the attendance Of witnesses both car
rier and shipper who are required to act
! on all subjects relating directly Or in
! directly to the controversy.
| The court also can compel the produc'
| ton of all books and papers and all wit
nesses shall have the same immunity
from prosecution and punishment as nov
provided by law.
