The farmers on the Grey Bull river have
for several years experienced a shortage
Of water. Last year there was not only a
shortage, but a lawsuit, which was decided
in favor of the Wiley Ditch company and
which is still in the courts, tied up the
limited supply and the farmers and small
users were unable to get sufficient water
to mature their crops. This year there
promises to be an abundance Of water for

opinion is that the amount of food
consumed by the average person Is
considerably in excess OF the amount
required. II the quantity of food
taken were smaller, the substance
lighrer, and the mastication more
thorough, the labor OF the excretory
organs would be less, and the general
health much better. .4
The question of alcohol Is n which
seems to trouble q great many of my
correspondents, and is h subject Of
many anxious inquiries. Now, / my
self am not n total abstainer. In
moderation 1 believe alcohol is a
valuable food; but, of course, n
cannot but shrink from the enormous
drink traflc OF civilization. Let me
say, then, that alcohol is not neces-
sary to the u~pbuilding of the mus
cular system, but II taken in strict
moderation can do little or no harm.
In the same way, tobacco in excess
is bad. But a man who is a follower
Of physical culture need not fear an
occasional pipe or cigar. Coming
more particularly to the strengthen
Ing quality of foods, those articles
which contain the most albumen are,
of course, the most n~ourishing. Milk,
cheese. and eggs contain large per-
centages of albumen; but the stom-
ach cannot deal with more than q
limited quantity of these foods with
out being upset. OF recent years,
however, a method OF extracting al
bumen from milk--or rather from
buttermilk-has been discovered, and
the extract has been put on the mar
ket under the name of "Plasmon."
This plasmon was discovered by an
enterprising German chemist. and it's
use is spreading all over England and
h Continent; in fact, all over the
world, for i have seen II on a in
America and Australia. 1t is used
incidentally as an article OF diet.
Doctors who are about to perform
operations give their patients plas-
mo- instead of drugs before the
operations, as the bulk Is very small
and the waste practically nil.
AS to its sustaining qualities I can
bear personal testimony. 1 lived en-
tirely on II for seven weeks, taking
about eight teaspoonfuls a day, dis
solved in water, this being my only
food during that period, and I was
performing twice a day. 1t is pre-
pared in various ways, being free
from flavor and smell, and perfectly
soluble. 1t can be dissolved in water
and made into soup. or added to other
soups or gravies, or may be kept on
the table and added dry. It can be
dissolved in milk. and then added to
tea or coffee, and rs now, I believe,

After Tax shirkers.

sTURGIs. 8. D., April 19.-(special)-
The commissioner OF Meade county passed
a resolution concerning personal tax mat
tiers, that is radical enough to suit any
body. In order to AFFORD each taxpayer
an opportunity to make complaint against
any other taxpayer for failure to list per-
sonal property for taxation. or for listing
the same at less than actual value, the
board has ordered the publication in July
next OF the 1908 assessment Of personal
property, such as live stock. goods and
merchandise. moneys and credits, as listed
by each taxpayer In Meade county for said
year. The board also will raise all assess
ments which are known or deemed to be
unjust to the county, and gives notice that
all attempts on the part of taxpayers to
evade taxation by inadequate listing OF
property will be prosecuted for perjury
to the fullest extent Of the law.

STEAMER WRECKED IN A FOG.
Six Passengers in Small Boat Feared to
Have Perished

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn, December "a.
The steamer Erastus Corning. from New
Haven for New York, ran on Copps Rocks,
off Norwalk at am. today. She has
filled with water. Fifty passengers are now
being taken off. The Erastus Corning is
one of the Starin Line boats.
A thick fog hung over the sound. Copps
Island, where the steamer lies, is about a
mile outside the usual track of the sound
steamers, and it is supposed that her navi-
gator lost his bearings. The vessel lies
high up On the rocks, so that though she
is partly filled with water her passengers
are believed to be safe.
A tug has gone to the scene of the wreck
and will bring the passengers on board
back to this city. where they will be put
aboard a train for New York
The shock of the collision and the cries
of the crew aroused the passengers. who
rushed on deck in a panic. Most of them
were thinly clad. One woman jumped
overheard, but was rescued by a member
Of the crew. During the confusion six of
the passengers cleared away a small boat
and left the steamer, and up to the present
time have not been heard from. The boat
contained two men and four women.
Aside from the missing party, all the pas
sengers and crew reached here safely on
board tug, and the passengers soon after
left by train for New York. Some of them
had no outer wraps, and all were without
baggage, the vessel having filed with water
SO quickly that they had barely time to
seize clothing and rush to the deck.
The Erastus Corning left New Haven at
1918 last night. She encountered thick
weather in the sound and was proceeding
slowly, when at 2:10 o'clock she suddenly
went on the rocks on Copp's Island, about
mile off her usual course.

to this city for assistance, and a tug was
sent to the stranded steamer.

RETURN OF THE BALTIMORE.

New York

The cruiser Baltimore arrived at Norfolk
yesterday from Key West, having aboard
the United States inspection board, which
went south with the Chandler torpedo ffo-
tilla some days ago. After landing her
passengers the Baltimore sailed for New
York for repairs to her battery.
There were several accidents to Iieuten-
ant Chandler's fotilla. The hotilla left
Key West yesterday under convoy of the
cruiser Buffalo for San Juan, to await or
ders from the Navy Department to proceed
for the east.
The little boats made the trip to Key
West without accident, save for the run
past Hatteras. Just south of Hatteras a
storm was encountered, in which the Barry
lost a small cutter and the Chauncey a
mast. In falling the mast of the Chauncey
caught and pinned to the deck three of the
crew, who were painfully injured. Three
men of the Barry were washed from the
forecastle by wave which struck the ship
and broke over its deck while the men were
attempting to secure an anchor.
