THE RESOLUTIONS OF A WATCH
Davenport Qowa) Republican.

Davenport (Iowa) Republican.
William Evans, the resourceful follower
Of Robin Hood and Fra Diavolo, who
purloined an innocent ud-chewing bovine
some weeks ago in the village of Wash
ington, Iowa, and then hiked to Daven-
port, only to be nabbed by the local police,
has been tried, and, having pleaded guilty.
will be sentenced this morning. His wife
was also implicated in the deed, and it
was owing to the negligence of the boys
who were watching the COW, in sneaking
off to watch Evans watch perform her
absolutions in a neighboring creek that
Evans was able to make his getaway with
the cow.

Tom L. Johnson Of Cleveland, who came
to New York last April to prepare for the

father, is in New York again and at the
American Academy Of Dramatic Art, in
Carnegie hall. It was said she recently

It was rumored after Miss johnson had

she was to marry John L. Dudley, Jr., son
Of a New York millionaire.

No Dese,.t; Land

The interior department has with.
drawn from disposition under the
desert land act large tract of land
lying south Of the Missouri river in
Montana. An agent OF the land office
mas found that altho the region has
been subject to the desert act for
many Years and much land has been
taken under it by a species Of per-
jury, It is neither arid nor subject to
possible irrigation, two requirements
OF land to be taken UP. under the act
mentioned. The agent finds that
farmers raise large crops Of cereals
ana vegetables without irrigation, and
that the country is not so situated
that water can be put on the land.
4 Probably there is a great deal of
land In western North Dakota and
eastern Montana which has been
looked uponsas arid that is not. Set:
tiers are pouring into the Canadian
west to the north and are paying good
prices for land that has about the
same sort Of soil and that receives no.
more rain, and they have not the
slightest intention Of relying on irri-
cation. With the right sort Of agri-
cultural methods--such as letting
the land lie falloWs every third year
to conserve the n1oisture-and the
selection Of crops requiring a mini
mum of moisture. there is vast ex-
tent Of cheap private Or public land
in the west that can be proftably de-
voted to agriculture without irr1ga-
ton. Farmers are finding this out,
and are now confidently establishing
homes in places from which earlier
settlers retreated IN dry years. =

J. J. Hill scooped the. newspapers In his
speech at Bismarck yesterday when he
told the Irrigation convention that five
railroads contributed $25, 1000 to the fund
which was used to flood the country with
irrigation literature, It was eminently
proper for the railroads, to make such a
contribution; they stand to benefit i'm
mensely from irrigation; it is the general
practice even in the most unselfish move-
ments to ask those who are likely to be
especially benefited by. their success to
supply the sinews Of war. At the same
time, Mr.. Hill and the other railroad men
were discreet In keeping still about their
contributions while the campaign for ma
tional irrigation was being fought. Now
that it is won, the statement about contri-
buttons can do no harm.

A PROBLEM Solved.
ANOTHER GoRDIAN KNOT CUT.
A Discovery Invaluable to the Sci
ence of Medicine. An envention
That Will be OF Benefit TO
Thousands of People

There /, no doubt about the value
OF VinoI, the new form of cod liver
oil, concerning which so murh has
been said lately. 1t is just another
one OF those great inventions that is
bound TO revoIutionize certain
branch of science This time the
science is that of saving liver. bence
the greater good that will be derived
from this discovery.
Mr.. Dozier of this city, who So for
tunately succeeded in associating
himself with the prominent Boston
nrm, has Indeed made his name one
that will never be forgotten in our
city. His foresight and shrewduess
enable him TO take advantage of what
has proved to be most wonderful
blessing to all who are in need of
medicine for the cure of throat, lung
and bronchial troubles, as well as
wasting diseases of every description.
This VInol Is simply cod livor oil
In new form, cod liver oil without
any oil, paradoXical as the statement
may sound. In other words, as Mr.
Z Dozier explains 1t himself, Vinol is
concentrated essence containing all
the active medicinal principles found
In the liver of the live cod, without
any of the Objectionable features that
we're formerly extracted at the same
time, such as fatty matter. The ex
tract which is the basis of Vinol be
come tasteless. administered AS it is
in q delicate table wine. The effic ent
manner ia which it acts is reall
wonderful. Physici his are now lie
to prescribe for patients VinOl where
1t would have been impossible short
time ago to have recommended coo
liver oil on account of the depleted
condition of the patients digestive
organs
This has alw avs been a drawback
that has prevented more cures be
ing effected where cod liver oil has
been indicated. Patients are now
able to take this medicine w th0ut the
slightest Inconvenience. Ia fact, to
take delicious Vinol Is pleasure.
It's beneficial effect is most gratifying.
1t is not often we believe it our
duty to expatlate SO fully on a subject, |
but this is one that will admit of |
careful Investigation by all, for it Is
indeed of the gravest Importance that |
every one should become conversant |

TO TAX STATE CONVICT FARM.
Sunflower County Representative
Will Introduce Bill to This Eff
feet.
Special to the Daily Progress.

! Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov. 9-An unique idea
on the subject of taxation has taken
possession of large number of lead
/ ing citizens of Sunfower county,
where the new state convict farm, a
fine tract of land $4,000 acres in extent
is located.
The Sunfiower citizens ara siezed
with the idea that the convict farm
should be made subject to taxes in the
same manner as properly owned by in
dividuals. 1t is unquestionably a
valuable body of land, and when the
improvements now under way are
completed will be worth fully mil
lion dolla S.
Especially is it urged that The state
of Mississippi should pay levee taxes,
and in support of the contention it is
argued that the convict farm receives
the benefit of levee protection with
ont one cent of cost, and at the same
time the tate is deriving large profits
from the farming system.
An attempt was made at the last
session of the legislature to secure
the passage of bill embodying these
ideas, having been introduced by rep
resentatives from Sunfowar county,
but it did not receive fayorab con-
sic GRAFTON. being given b ack eye

ing sessnn Represe atative Ringold
will Introduce a bill scnjecting the
convict farm to 'evee taxes, and is
