Artist Montrose Is Dead.
Paris (Mo.) Appeal.

Paris (Mo.) Appeal.
Artist Montrose, the famous saddle
stallion, died at the Paris fair grounds
last Friday afternoon. He was sick
about twenty-four hours, acute in
digestion being assigned as the cause.
Heroic efforts were made to save him
but in vain. A post morton ex-
animation was held after his death,
revealing the fact that his stomach
was clogged with food as dry as
though there had not been a particle
OF moisture in his system. Artist
was bred in Kentucky and foaled in
st. Clair county, Mo-, 20 years ago.
De was probably the peer of any
show stallion in Missouri, having
won first premium at the st. Louis
fair in 1888 and carried of first prize
in the sweepstakes ring at the
Worlds Fair in 1898. Col. jeff
Bridgiord was mounted upon Artist
when he, too, won distinction as the
worlds champion rider. The old
stallion was bought last spring by a
Paris company, the purchase price
being 1000. During the season he
had served SO mares and many 9th
ers had been booked. The company
will lose very little, if anything at all
financially, though the death Of such
a stallion is a serious loss to the
stock interests Of the county. Ten
years ago Artist made part Of the
season at Paris. Thirteen Of his
colts sold for an average Of 1914
each. This time an exceptionally
Ane class Of mares were bred to him
and some fine individuals are expect
ed to result.

COOK ADVISED
SPEED NOT Topaz.
Secretary Of State Explains $500
Transaction With Former
Senator Lyons.
TRIED TO PROTECT FRIEND.

St. Louis Republic 9Th.
Secretary OF State Sam B. Cook, in
order to see that former Senator W
+. Lyons kept his promise TO kill the
bill reducing the fees of former Goa
oilinspector R. B. Speed Of Nevada,
was a witness to the payment Of
$500 by Speed to Lyons in the
Planters hotel.
In Jefferson City Mr.. Cook yester'
day made the following signed state
ment as to his connection with the
Speed matter:
Mr. Speed did entirely right in Civ
ing Mr.. Folk the ful facts concerning
his payment Of $500 to Lyons, He
was under no legal obligations to
furnish the circuit attorney the facts,
but he properly preferred to follow
the course prompted by honest can
dor and to tell the truth.
When the demand was made on
Mr.. Speed Tor this $500, under threat
to pass an act taking practically all
the profits out OF the Office he was
holding, he did what many honest
men have done-permitted himself to
be SHIELD up" by a legislative sand
Dagger When Mr.. Speed came to
me with the information that a de-
mand was being made on him for
money, advised him not to pay a
dollar. When, however, on the ad.
vice Of others, he decided to pay the
demand, | still dill what | could to
protect him.
Mr. Speed had been my unselfsh
personal friend for many years. l
knew him to be an honest man and a
loyal friend. Besides, he had been a
generous contributor to the demo-
cratit state campaign fund, and for
many years much of his time had
been unseltishly given in behalf Of his
party.
When he was in trouble and asked
my assistance, did what | would
have done for any honest friend who
sought my aid, and unhesitatingly
gave it,"

HIT BAILEY IN THE PULPIT.
A Kansas Sermon on the tiffany" Of

Harrington, Kan, June % The
conduct OF Governor Bailey aud tn,

from the pulpit to day in a sermon

Mr.. McHale preached upon the

drew q prophetic comparison OF

ASYLUM NO. 4.
Missouri's Fourth Insane Asylum Built
On New Lines.

St. Joseph Press.
r. NJ. Abercrombie returned yester.
day from Pennington, Mo-, where
the states model asylum for the in
sane is being prepared The con-
tracts are being let for the erection
OF the administration building and
the st. Joseph firm may do the stone
work.
"That Pennington institution will
be a model one when they get itcom-
pleted, said Mr.. Abercrombie to-day.
Instead OF putting all the patients
in one huge building, as is done at
Asylum No. 2, located here, and at
Nos. l and 3. a score or more OF cot
tages will be erected for the insane.
"About sixty patients are placed
in each cottage. This allows a CLASH
tication OF them. The plan is to
build little town for these people
1t will take fifteen or twenty years to
carry out the scheme and the expen.
ditures will amount to 800, 600
or 81, 100000.
six or seven cottages are finished
now. The second stories are the
dormitiores, while the ground floor
is the day room. Each building will
be connected with the main dining
room with a corridor. Thus the
patients will not be exposed to the
elements during bad Father.
"While this plan is more costly
than the old one, # is far more hu
name. Where the patients are COOP
ed up in one big building, they are
compelled to go up and down three
or four or five flights OF iron stairs
several times each day. This not
only is annoying to the patients, but
also subjects them to constant dan
ger.
again all classes OF insane are
thrown together. Those suffering
from mild cases cannot be isolated
from those who are violent. And
there is no relief from the monotony
Of the pacing up and down one cor.
ridor.
"When the Pennington institution
is completed room will have been
provided for 800 to 1000 pa
tents. 1t was opened for the recep-
ton Of patients January LIST, 1908 "

rzSMS OF SUBSCRIPTION:
Imperial press and farmer., 1903-01-03

"Unfortunately, there is very little a very expensive, though probably a very profitable operation, to conduct water from the Colorado river, which furnishes a bountiful supply at all season of the year, and which, at Yuma, lies some 100 la GOO feet above the lower portions of the Colorado desert"
 In 1900, it is true. there was no water here, but now all this has been chang ed, and contrary to the forecast of the above quotation, the water as given out to the settlers of this valley, is not expensive, although a great amount of money has been spent in getting it here. The water furnished to the Imperial settlements is the cheapest by far of any water in California. The government says that even with eX- pensive water a great deal of money can be made in the culture of date palms, and now that the greatest item of expense is taken away what could not be made along this line. This is certainly all ideal spot for date palms. Every thug is in 1t favor. The land, the climate, the water, and every other condition needed. Touching upon this point before water was to be had i'll this valley, the government in a re- port said:
 If adequately supplied with water the lower and hotter parts of the Colo rado desert would be one of the finest date regions i'll the world, and beyond question the best within the limits of the United States"
 The only thing then lacki ng is now to be had i'll supera bu ndance-and cheaply, too.
