Pennsylvania State Grange held
conference at Tunkhannock on Sep
,ember 10th, to consider and discuss
measures for improving the system of
government. If every farmer in the
State was an active member of a

not be paying 10 mills on the dollar
of taxes, while personal and corporate
wealth are only paying 4 mills or less.

A GREAT FUTURE
The Silver State on the Up-
grade Once More

Nevada is truly on the upgrade and
a few years hence people will behold
one of the most prosperous states in
the union, says the Enterprise. The
population will increase rapidly, as
the system of irrigation canals now
under way will attract settlers from
ALL parts of the country, especially
from those states where the question
of water is uncertain. The work the
government has undertaken on the
Truckee river has opened the eyes of
the people to what can be accom-
plished by irrigating bitches, and al
ready in several localities farmers are
arranging to build dams in various
valleys to save the water which usual
ly runs to waste until it is needed in
the summer time. The certainty OF
an unfailing water supply means that
thousands of acres of land now Idle
will be brought under cultivation.
The government reports show that
great activity in mining is going on,
and as the farmers can find a good
market for their products in the min
ing towns, the two industries presage
a growth for Nevada which will be be-
Iyond all expectations.

But He is Still Far from Being
Out of Danger, So the
Doctors State

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Sir Thomas
Upton, who is ill with catarrhal ap-
pendicitis in his apartments at the
Auditorium Annex, passed a quiet
night and is doing well, according
to a statement made by DR.. Thomas
this morning.
To Alex H. Revell, Sir Thomas
hest, who was an early caller, the
patient said:
i've been an awful sick man, but
I'm better now."
Mr.. Revell said he considered the
patients condition very encouraging
DR.. Thomas spent the night in room
of the Upton suite. but aside from
ordinary sickroom duties there was
no urgent need of his services.
A number of messages of sympathy
from New York friends were received
during the night and read with pleas
ure by the recipient, when he awoke
this morning. At. $50 a. m. the pa
tient had fallen asleep again.
Mr.. Revell said that probably there
would be no further formal consulta,
tions Of the physicians until the unex'
pected in the form of a change for the
worse occurred.
1t is still believed that an operation
will not be necessary, as no pus hal
formed. The condition of Sir Thomas
continues to improve during the fore
noon. At noon DR.. Thomas gave out
the following statement:
"Sir Thomas is resting much better
this morning and his condition is nov
perfectly satisfactory"

Fierce Fights Reported

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 17.-Firece
fights between Jews and Christians, In
which four Christians and two Jews

lief. The disturbances arose Septem-
Der 11th from dispute between a
peasant and a Jew dealer.
The police intervened, and, accord
ing to the version published here, the
Jews threw stones and fired on the
police, several of whom were injured.
The disturbances were renewed

destruction of the booths and twenty
persons were injured on both sides.

KING MAY INTERCEDE

According to the Information con-
veyed to the Associated Press, the
resignation is quite likely to be an
nouneed within dayo + two, but may
be postponed until Mr.. Balfour has
al opportunity to make his promised
public announcement on October 1.
There is just a last chance that the
King, in his private capacity, may
avert what is now declared to be IN
evitable.
Mr. Chamberlain resignation is al
most certain to cause an appeal to the
country, Mr.. Balfour being thus left
without the support of the protection
lists or the free traders. Chancellor oi
the Exchequer Ritchie and his fol-
lowers are also openly opposed to any
measure of retaliatory tariffs as Mr.
Chamberlain is convinced that the
unity of Empire depends on prefer
entail duties in favor of the colonies
With the exception of few liberal
organs which viewed Mr.. Balfour'
pamphlet as repudiation of Mr.
Chamberlain's policy, there has
scarcely been a seriously considered
suggestion that Mr.. Chamberlair
would retire from the cabinet.
But the generally accepted opinion
that he would retain his portfolio, II
shattered and the news when 1t be
comes generally known, will come a:
a thunderclap, not only to the support
ers of the government, but to all poll
tical sections.
BY Mr.. Chamberlain detection
practically all the existing party line:
will be swept away and their recon
struction largely depends on Mr.
Chamberlain future attitude.
That he will be content to retire
from public life can scarcely be con
sidered. 1t is believed he will no
ally himself with either side but will
rally to the banner of his preferential
program all the support he can gathe
from every quarter.
Mr.. Chamberlain can rely on the al
most solid Irish vote, when he confine:
himself to fiscal ideas.
The Associated Press learns def
nitely that Mr.. Chamberlain urged hi
colleagues to appeal to the country OF
the preferential trade issue. He ad
mitted that he would be defeated, bu
maintained that six months of weak
liberal government would put th'
party back in power with an improved
standing.

WANTS TO BE
A DETECTIVE
An Odd Genius Who Butted
Into Sheriff's Office Early
This Morning

A wild-eyed, unkempt specimen of
humanity fell breathlessly into the
quiet and dignified atmosphere of the
sheriff's Office early this morning with
an exciting story of having seen four
of the escaped Folsom convicts taking
a drink in a saloon down the street,
and endeavored to convince Deputy
Sheriff Muller that he ought to go
out and round the gang up and get
the $4,000 reward offered for their cap
ture. AS for the informant, he did
himself, and was only interested in
the general welfare of the human
family. He was delighted to hear
that "Red-shirt" Gordon, another of
the escapes, had been recaptured yes
terday in Texas, and then he told
Charlie how it was: If he had just
been sure those four men were the
escaped convicts, and if he had had a
few good trusty men with him, he
would have arrested the gang himself
and brought them to the bar of JUS
tice. The deputy didn't enthuse, how
ever, owing to the fact that he knew
who the four men his informant re-
ferred to were.
Just as he was leaving the sheriff's
Office, the fellow spotted a photograph
of Sheriff Lamb on the desk. Who's
that?" he asked, eagerly. "Oh, mat
fellow is a hard character who is bad
ly wanted for a lot of crimes" re-
piled the deputy; IF you see him."
he added, "let me know. Keep a
watchout for him around town and
along the road, will you?"
Il will, l WILL" emphatically de-
clared the fellow. He's a hard look
in cuss, and if l get my eyes on him
I'll have the wires workin fore you
can think, you bet l WILL" and he
grabbed his little bundle and struck
out, eager to catch a glimpse of the
bad man."
Before going he confided to the dep
uty sheriff that he lost his wife in
the Kansas City flood and was beating
his way to California, looking for
work. He stated that he had been ar
rested twice since getting into Ne
vada on suspicion of being one Of the
escaped convicts. and seemed very
proud of the fact.

Practical Illustrations

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 17.-Practical
illustrations of what irrigation will
do for western land and the best way
of supplying the needed moisture TO
the arid stretches of the west, as well
as the theoretical science of irriga-
tion, were set before the delegates to
the National Irrigation congress at
today's sessions.
This mornings session was almost
entirely devoted to the reading of pa
pers by government experts in irri-
cation and forestry, headed by their
chief, Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, who gave very comprehen-
sive description of the great work
the department of agriculture is doing
in the matter of irrigation.
No session of the congress was
scheduled for this afternoon, almost
the entire body of delegates instead
taking carriages for the model farm
of forty acres conducted by the state
at the deaf, dumb and blind institu-
tion. The entire tract has been de-
voted to experiments in various meth
ods of irrigation and the delegates
tramped over the grounds all after
noon, examining with much interest
the work done by the state.
There is growing interest in the
fight for entertaining next years irri-
CATION congress. This morning FL
Paso seemed to have a strong lead
with Reno second choice.
The Texas delegation, it is under
stood, will try to have the matter of
selection made a special order for to-
morrow at 10 o'clock.
/ When the congress convened at IL
o'clock. scarcely half the delegates
were in their seats. the fight for next
years convention and over the action
to be taken on the land laws proving
of more interest to a majority.
! Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
introduced amid a great outburst OF
applause to speak on the work of the
Department of Agriculture regarding
irrigation.
| Resolutions of endorsement of Sec
retary Wilson's views on irrigation
and thanks for his address were
unanimously adopted.
A large number of speeches were
still on the program for the morning
session, but the addresses of Secre-
tary Wilson and Senator Newlands
were of more than usual length and
they were not presented.
A motion to make the question OF
selecting next years meeting place q
special order for 10 a. m. tomorrow
was adopted and the congress took re-
cess until p. m.
! The committee on resolutions strug-
gled all morning with the land laws
question to come before the congress
1t was finally decided to favorably
report resolutions favoring the repea
of the timber and stone act and tho
commutation clause of the home
stead act, but only after considerable
sharp debate.
No decision as to the desert lanC
act has as yet been reached.
The Oregon delegation caucusset
this morning and decided to favor the
srepeal of all existing land laws anC
the re-enactment Of the old five-yeal
homestead law and it is probable tina
brisk fight for this action will b'
made.
