He handled his bow with an exagcer-

delicious gusto. One particular
change in the quadrille appeared to
be a great favorite with him. and he
always preluded it with grand
sweep across the violin strings. His
voice gathered more than common

There were no waltzes or galops,

was a lull in the music, Jack Parme-

UTILIZING THE FLOOD.

Senator Barton of Kansas reads a
lesson from the floods that seem so
universal this year.
His remedy against disaster is not
in building more levees, but begin
ming at the streams sources and con-
be done by storage reservoirs and sys-
TENS of canals, whereby every drop
might be made serviceable.
Nature is not given to waste. If
man can find the way to conserve he
will be able to harness the storm and
utilize the flood. Instead of destroy
ing agencies, they may be turned to
blessings, progress thereby be advanc-
ed and homes made in the deserts.
Senator Barton has opened field
not alone for thought, but for action
Since the general government has en-
tered tho work of reclaiming the arid
wastes and acknowledged the feasibil-
ity of the storage reservoir system,
its experts may discover a problem
worthy of their highest effort in the
one advanced by the senator from
Kansas
Large funds would be needed to
successfully carry out such stupend-
GUS plan, but the loss of lives and
property avoided and the vast counter
benefits accruing would Justify the ex-
penditure of billions.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Doubtless the s7-a-day legislator s
heart is palpitating in happy antici-
patton of the day when Gov. Peabody
will issue his looked for proclamation
for an extra session.
The taxpayer will find no joy there
in. He had been led to believe when
he voted in republican administra-
tion that perfection had sealed itself
in the state house.
Editor Stapleton's Republican car
ried an over-w worked phrase during
last campaign. reading something like
this: ''You get the kind of govern
ment you vote for at the polls. -
Well, they are getting it-and the
familiar extra session tag along with
it.
There has been much said about
the misdeeds and breaks of fusionism,
and The Sentinel is mighty glad that
nuisance has been laid to rest. But
we will call upon any republican in
the state not an officeholder or rela-
tive of an officeholder. to bear us out
tion could equal in ''punkness the
hearalded republican regime we are
enduring. There were extra sessions
called by Cows. Adams and Orman,
but the first consummated its business
in three days and with only nominal
expense to the state. Governor Or
man called the legislature together on
business proposition-the revenue
bill-which has paid for itself many
times over. Governor Peabody's call,
however, is to rectify blunder, in
nooent or designed, which no other
Legislature in the land has ever been
guilty of.
Governor Peabody and his house
leaders were cognizant of the irregu-
lar manner in which the long appro-
priation bill was manufactured. They
were either incompetent or dishonest,
and ON their heads must fall the re-
sponsibility IF this unnecessary ses-
sion.
The governor has announced that
his call will not include the eight
hour bill or other outside questions,
but only the passage of Legitimate
bill Most assuredly
the governor will not open the merest
crevice whereby labor measure
might perchance wedge through. The
laboring people are making themselves
ridiculous in hoping for such things
under republican conditions.
The Sentinel finds no pleasure in
pointing to the delinquencies which
the republican administration has
compassed in its short life. So far as
it has gone it has been irredeemably
bad and only a worse promise for the
future. No. democratic critic. strange
to say, is so fiercely vindictive in de-
nounGing the administration as repub-
licans themselves. Frankly, we hope
the republicans will put up better
timber at the next state election.

BIG BET on THE FIGHT.
F1tz waGers slO,O ,OOO to 49, 600 on Jenries
Both Men Training Hard.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. u.-0ne OF the big
gest bets on record in connection with the
prize fight was made this morning when
$40. 600 was wagered against %, 900 that JEFF
fries would win the coming aght. The lon4
end was taken by FitZ while George r. Web
ster of the Central Theatre placed his money
on Corbett. The checks were signed and
placed in the hands of stakeholder TO await
the decision of the referee II was straight
out bet without any conditions of withdrawal.
There is some mystery as to where Fitz
raised SO much money all in lump. General
betting on the battle continues light. although
there Is some improvement. The ruling price
is 2 TO I, which makes it a little hard to under
stand why the Fitz and Webster wager
should be placed at the close price OF 10 10 8.
Corbett money is available at all the pool
rooms.
The explanation OF the change in betting
is that there is a report in circulation that
Jpffries is not well This story cannot be
traced 10 any authentic source. but many
persons believe il. II is possible that II was
starte ed In the champions camp for the purpose
of shortening the price.
The advance sale OF seats for the fight
indicates that the attendance will break all
records. Already the receipts have reached
s33 600 and the managers of the Yosemite
Glib expect to see the $50 900 mark passed.
The club had received up TO this afternoon
orders for SIS 900 worth of seats from other
cities and towns. In spite of all the talk
that Corbctt is a sheen and does not have
a chance the public seems to be convinced
that the battle will be on the square and that
both men have good chances.
Jeffries has not yet given a sign of moving
any nearer the scene of the fight He put in

was too slow but Delaney assured him that
the trouble was with him: that he was too
fast Fifteen minutes Of fast work caused
him TO perspire until he WAS in a lather. He
also did few rounds with Kennedy and his
brother Jack.
Corbett has not carried out his plan to
do nothing but light work. as during the
last two days he has put in some of his hardest
efforts in the ring, Yesterday and to-day
he made life miserable for Berger and Kenny
his two punching bags. He went at them
as though he were In a regular contest and
had both of them all but out.

for the first time gave Il hint as to hs plan of
battle. lie snid: Il will go at him from the
start. He can hit me where and when he is

If Jefrries carries out this programme it
