A remarkable statement might be
doubted if entirely unsupported by
other testimony. If. however. the
statement is fully corroDorated in
every single particular hy two other
reliable witnesses, the statement is
taken as the absolute truth in any
court of law.
This applies with great force to the
statement made in regard to the won
derful cures effected by that famous
medicine, Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. If
YOU only know of one person cured by
Sagwa and could find no one else who
had taken it with the same result you
would certainly be justified in doubling
its virtue.
But the case is far different from
that. There are thousands upon thou
sands of men and women who gladly
acknowledge that Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa has cured them. This cloud of
witnesses makes the fact 50 certain as
to be beyond the possibility of doubt.
It is to this fact and the fact that

EPITOME OF THE E
McADIE.

Last week was one of the most
eventless for several years. Aside
from the failure of the Aldrich cur
rency bill to pass Congress, which was
a sore disappointment to many fnan-
cial interests in Wallstreet, there was
nothing new of Importance. 1t was
reported that American banks had en-
tered the Berlin market as borrowers,
paying 5h per cent for large sums.
1t appears that although there is wide
spread industrial depression in Ger
many there is plenty of cash money
there, and as funds are more or less
sought to relieve it's wants in the
former market. Speculation in Wall
streetc ontinued quiet and profession
al, with the feeling bearish rather
than bullish. The market is still held
In a strong grip, and will not vary
much from its present level if the

A West End shopkeeper is cedited

cessful method Of discouraging the
feminine habit of shoplifting. The re-

small but valuable articles on bargain
counters when the clerk is not look

THE IRRIGATION Bill.

The passing of the irigaticn bill by
the LEGISLATURE makes new road in
Nevada law. The hill has heor tnor-
oughly thrashed cut in committee and
caucus and in no Instance has anv Sc
rious objection been found with the
main features and intent Of the law.
with the requirements Of the National
IRRIGATION lew than for any local be-
neit. The fact that Senator Newlands
lent his aid to its passage and eN-
planned the details probably helped
the forming of the law He set forth
the claim that only with law Of such
a nature, could he expect anv in,n1e
date action from the government in
reclamation, and with this law as an
expression CT good intent. he believes
that Nevada will be among the very
first States to receive benefit from
the government.
The bill will define rights to both
land and water. so that government
inspectors and engineers will be able
to handle their subject matter with
out dispute and without the question
of priority. as that feature will be set
tied before the work is commenced.
1t is further claimed that when the
to certain extent. eliminate law
suits, as has been demonstrated in
Wyoming, where the law. or one very
similar, is in operation. Should the
new law even do this. it will more
than compensate for the expense to
the State and people.
One of the striking incidents in con-
nection with the passing of the law
was the unanimity that was shown
by parties directly opposite in poiti-
cal beliefs and men who own water on
each end of the cams. Take the
case of Senate Dicgbarg and Sena
tor Williams. Ono q Republican and
the other = Tusionist. One living at
the head CT the Carson river. the
other at tic Sink of the Carson. and
vet both agreed that the law is the
best and most important ever passed
by any session of the Legislature
Other cases of almost the same ma
ture might be cited, and in most cases
the men on the opposite side of poll
tics and at the extreme ends of the
streams that come under the law
voted for the measure. With such
showing. it must be that the bill ha

that the law. if carried out at sc
