The Kansas Citys Stars Patriarch
Of Arrow Rock has broken out again.
He reviews Harry HAYES Hannibal
speech 10 three columns Of goodnat-
ured f~ooliShnass. Tue patriarch
seems to feel more kindly toward Mr..
HAYES than he did toward Mr.. Reed
This might not be so strange If the
patriarch lived near Forty.second
and Harrison, Kansas City, but for an
oil man away down in Saline county,
1t is singular, very singular.

Last week when the supreme court
made its decision on the Bonner case
the daily papers came out 10 flaming
headlines "opens the doors Of jails
and penitentiaries;" "Supreme court
reverses itself" "Goes back on at
least two former decisions in order to
free boodlers;" ''Mr. Folks work I'M
done" Three or four days later 10
obscure places the same papers took
it all back and acknowledged that
iails aud pc nitentiaries had not been
opened, that the supreme court had
not reversed itself, that the former
decisions, so far as they related to
the same issues, precisely agreed with
the Bonner decision, and that Mr.
Folk S work was not undone in any
other sense than that he was required
to file afidavits Of prosecuting wit
nesses as the statute specifically de,
mands and as nearly all the prosecut.
ing attorneys have done ever since
the statute was passed. The county
papers nearly all fell into the trap, as
they were expected to do. They an
nounced to their readers what the
daily papers said. By the time OF
the next issue it will be too old to
correct. Besides people will not read
corrections. Nothing better was to
be expected of the republican dalies
but let it be remembered for future
reference that the st. Louis Republic
was as bad as any Of them

the stand taken by the democratic
senatorial caucus as ''pettifogging
tactics" 1t says that 1--WE must dig

not Colombia tried to defeat a world
enterprise by CRATER tactics?" These
are some of the questions which the
St. Louis Republic, the only ven nom
inallY democratic metropolitan paper
we have 10 Missouri asks in a
heated leading editorial. They illus
trate how completely the commercial
spirit of the age has overridden the
moral sense. And this paper is in
an especial sense, the organ of the
local ''civic righteousness" crusade.

CrevaSSe.

A gentleman up from Fruita today.

almost unmistakab,e authority that
the Rio Grande Western road would
have six hundred teams at Crevasse
shortly to begin the construction of
a road into the asphaltum fields. nine
ty miles from that point,
He said that there was construc-
tion agent there yesterday and has
been there for several days past and
that there are active signs of work to
begin at once.
At the present time they are haul
ing asphaltum distance of between
eighty and ninety miles by wagon
and so many teams are employed
that the cost of transportation is enor-
nous.
OF course there has been considera-
BILE talk from time to time about the
construction of branch into the as
phaltum fields. but he said that he be-
lieved that the time had arrived when
work would certainly commence.

POWERFUL
FORCE PUMP.
Plans and Specifications Re-
ceived For New Pumping
Plant. Capacity $780, 900
Gallons Per Day.

Superintendent Vedder. of the city
waterworks is in receipt this morning
of blue prints and plans and specifica-
tions for the new pump proposed as
an addition to the means of water
supply to this city.
The pump is GAINESVILLE, Penna.
compound duplex pump designed to
deliver 2. 500 gallons of water per min
ute to vertical height of $50 feet.
with a steam pressure of so lbs. at the
throttle.
Mr.. Vedder state; the capacity of
the pump is $500. 600 gallons per day
of "a hours. This pump is sufficient
to supply city of 12, 200 inhabitants
and Mr.. Vedder thinks solves the
water question for a number of years
to come. The weight of this pump is
"A tons and it is monster of power.
The pump is a3 feet in length oy er
all and 10 feet in height over all
This pump and these plans are not
the only pumps ON which he will re-
cieve estimates.
All these specifications and pumps
will be submitted to council for their
consideration.
Like all other cities supply ing
themselves with public utilities,
Grand Junction made mistake in
securing, at first a pumping capacity
only sufficient for the needs of the
time of installation. With the pres
ent proposed pump, this or some other
one of equal capacity, the city should
not have to bother for at least several
years to come.

WALL STREET IS
IN PANIC.
Two Brokerage Concerns, That
Put Up Job On Public Go

New York. July 24-The announce
ment today of the failure of the firms
of Talbot ]. Taylo e. Co. and W. L.
storm on Wall street today. rhe two
great concerns had attempted to put
up job on the public. and the people
would not be fieeced, therefore the
schemes failed and the announcement
was made that the two firms had sns-
pended business.
To those who were in the "know"
the Stow failure caused little surprise.
but the Taylor embarrassment was re-
ally unexpected. Much has been said
about that firms affairs in the last
few years, and manv Of their big tran
sactions are still fresh in the minds
of the people.
The "street'' and many visitors un-
derstood the Taylor Keene connections.
Talbot j. Taylor is James R.
Keene's SON n-law. His brother
James B. Taylor, and Foxhall P.
Keene, son of James r. Keene, cons
titute the firm.
Young Keene. who is an interna-
tional sportsman is a special partner
in the sum. it is said, of $3.50, 600.
Taylor and Keene have been the
principal Keene brokers for the past
three wears.
Foxhall Keene is now abroad. His
father was at the latter's office today.
but denied himself to all but a few
close friends.
The effect of the Taylor failure up
ON James r. Keene's personal fortune
is largely matter of conjecture.
According to some reports. the veteran
operator is heavily involved. and ac-
cording to others, scarcely at all.

Is the Day Being Less Observed Thar
 Formerly?
 Today is the birthday of George Washington, father of his country statesman without peer, and genera, of armies, never excelled in bravery strategy and skill. No efforts have been made locally to celebrate the oc casion, and probably but for this men tion of it, the day marking the birth of Washington, and the knowledge oi it by the school children, the day or the event would scarcely be noticed
 This causes the query, 'Is the day being less observed than formerly ?' The larger cities of the county cele, brate Washington's birthday by ban. Quets and oratory but Bisbee evident. ly passes up the event, with probably a mention of it in the pulpits, during the services of today. It is not be- cause the people are less loyal to the memory of Washington, but may be accounted for likely because the date falls on Sunday.

 Although the scores in the two games were not high, the general work of the men was excellent. The foul rules were adhered to in the strictest sense, which deprived several mem bers of high scores. Most of the men were not used to the enforcement of foul rules and were constantly in fear of running over the lines and on that account became very nervous.

CHA VALLEY RANCHER

w. A. Gillespie Talks About AsricuI-
 tural Resources
 W. A. Gillespie, a prominent farr.eT in the Gila valley, arrived in Bisbee yesterday from his home at Solomon. vile, where he owns and cultivates some 25O acres of the choice land Jf that productive valley. MT. Gillespie says the Graham county farmers are much encouraged over the bright pros poets for an abundance of water f)f iriiga1.ng purposes next year.
 There has been an unusual amount of snow and rain in the mountains from which the Gila river draws it's supply of water, during the past iaii and winter. In the Mogollon noun tains in New Mexico the snow is said to be now four or five feet deep on the north side. This snow will melt gradually and feed the Gila with a good supply of water until the middle of the month of May
 Last year the farmers in the Gila valley suffered worse for the want of SuAhSASAI "atSA IO lA4lSdtS iLC'a crops than ever before. The water began to run in early in the spring. Much of the grain was unable to ma ture and was 'pastured by the farmers. A good many of the farmers only se- cured two crops of hay, because of he scarcity of water.
 What hay and grain there was pro- duced brought a price much D ,tter
