SLAUGHTER OF NoNcoMBATANTs.
Important Question for Consideration
 by Friends of Peace Congress.


 Chicago Record Herald.
 If tho Interparliamentary Union should require fresh inspiration for it's labors 1t might consult the reports on the treatment of noncombatants at Liao-yang These people are not per- mltted to leave the city. and 1t Is said that many of them were killed or wounded. The survivors were left in a pitiable condition, according to Dr. A. M. Westwater, a British medical missionary, who condemns the inhu- manity of the Russians in strong terms
 It Is impossible to conceive of a more cruel fate or a greter outrage unon jus tice. The unfortunate were giulty of no offense against Russians of Jap anese. They were living peaceably Tn their own country; they had the right to seek safety and were made to suffer in the mere loss of their property. But they must be held as targets for shot and shell, regardless of all right eous and humane considerations.
 This, however, Is but a small part Of the story. As the campaign has prog ressed we have read of devasted fields in which the labors of an industrious people were brought to naught, and we can well imagine that in the whole progress of this war upon neutral ter ritory the lives and property of the neutrals have been ruthlessly sacrificed. War always means license, no matter if there are really sincere efforts at dis cfpline In the present instance the weakness of the inhabitants of the country and the weakness of the gov ernment that should be charged with their defense invite every kind of op- pression Loot is a matter of course, and if we may judge by the history of the relief expedition of 1900 the Russian soldIery will indulge in the most re- volting excesses.
 And this frightful dissertation Is de- tended because by fiction of diplomacy y the destiny of a nation Is held to be in volved. Land robbery, murder. and In satiable greed of power-generally' speaking, a systematic course of con duct that would send a man to the gal lows-are all glorified as something very magnificent and admirable in a state. Excellent stuff this for the meditations of a peace conference.

CONSUMPTION IN SCHOOLS.
Duty of Teachers to Prevent Spread of
 Disease Among Pupils.
Chicago Tribune.

CnlCaBO lTlDune'
 Dr. s. A. Knopp. a high authority, outlined recently in an address before the American Academy of Medicine at Atlantic City some of the means which ought to be adopted by public school officials and teachers to prevent the spread of consumption among pupils. The school building should be on a high point where the air is good. There should be connected with 1t large playground or roof garden
 The rooms should be kept cool and well ventilated. A gymnasium every public school should have. and if prac- ticable, a swimming tank, and regular exercise should be obligatory. Pre- cautions should be observed against overtaxing boys and girls at the crit ical period when they are verging up- on manhood and womanhood. When the weather Is good classes should be heard frequently In the open air. Pu- pills of every age should sing a good deal The German army authorities have of late much encouraged singing while marching as an effective means of repelling pulmonary troubles and rais- ing the general health and vigor of their troops Tuberculous children arc removed from French. German, Italian. and Dutch schools and placed In pub lie sanitariums, where they are both treated ana fed, ana lOr. knopp aEV% cates the adoption of similar plan n this country
 Tn the census year 1900 the people who died of consumption in the United States numbered 110,059, more than were carried off in the same year by Appendicitis, railway accidents, dlphthe- ria, grip, cancer. and typhoid combined. Any anl all measures which promise to check the mortal ravages of the "grc 1t white scourRe" are worth trying at most regardless of cost.

WATCH THE URINE.

Kidney diseases are not always pain full in the early stages. They frequent ly gain ground before the victim know of their existence.
 But an examination of the urine will always tell of the existence of any form of kidney trouble.
 Allow a quantity of urine to stand in the vessel for 24 hours. If any of the following symptoms appear, the kid neys are disease:
 Brick dust sediment; whitish, cloudy, or stringy settlement; offensive odor; high reddish color or very pale, watery appearance; oily scum on the surface.
 Other urinary symptoms are too free or too scanty a flow; frequent desire to urinate; pain or scalding in passing.

Nothing more irritating than con stant backache-that dull. heavy throb, which bothers you all day and prevents sound sleep at night.
 Backache makes you fretful and ner- vous-keeps you "on edge" all the time. It carves plain lines in the face, and ruins cheerful disposition.
 Don't mistake the cause of backache. Overwork might tire your back, but should not make it ache and pain and throb. A man or woman with healthy Kidneys can work hard, rest and sleep, and be ready to work hard again,
 Backache is kidney ache. It tells you of an infamed or congested condition of the kidneys, brought on by a cold, d strain on the back, or perhaps some other slight cause.
 The danger is that kidney congestion never relieves itself and 1t so disturbs the blood Altering processes of the kid neys that uric acid and other poisons collect in the blood.
 These poisons should pass off in the urine. but instead are carried by the blood to every part of the body and cause painful and fatal diseases.
 Health can only be restored by re storing the kidneys to health. This can only be done with a kidney medi cine.

YUMA AND THE COLORADO
Progress of Government Enterprises s
 Under New Reclamation Law.

Yuma. Ariz, Feb. 23. Special Cor respondence of The RepublicanD--Yu- ma is undoubtedly on the edge of q good sized boom. The Colorado river is the largest body of water in the arid belt and the lands on either side of t are the most fruitful Prior to the opening of the Imperial canal. the river poured it's waters into the gulf unused and notwithstanding the great size of the waterway, there is no apparent diminution of water below the headgate. Because cf the annual spring and summer rise in the Colo radO, there is the most water in it when the most is needed, but even in midwinter, when the water is at it's lowest phase there is always more than enough. According to the government hydrographer the lowest recorded flow for the winter is about $500 cubic feet per second, whereas in the spring and summer an average flow of about 75,000 cubic feet per second has to be guarded against. Unfortunately, ex- cept at given points, the river runs too low in it's banks to be taken out by gravity canals during the winter sea son and 1t rushes over Its banks in the spring and summer The river in the valley north of Yuma last spring and summer had an estimated width of fourteen miles.
 Of course. it was impossible that such a grand body of water in the arid belt should be allowed to run to waste without attracting the attention of the general government, under the irrigation act. Last year S103, ,000 was spent in making a contour map of the valley on both sides of the river from the Needles to the international line. Up to an elevation of 25O feet, this map shows every ten feet. During the present winter the survey in question has been completed, a reservoir sita

Hon. David Meekison is well known not only in his own State, but through out America. He was elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State.
 Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious ap- proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue. He writes:

he went there he had no money but a travelling man who knew him in Cali fornia and had confidence in him, put up the money by which he secured partnership in the saloon and games.
 After he had been there some time, when he was pressed for the payment of the money he owed, he said that he had been drained by q bill of $500 which he had paid to an undertaken for the burial of his wife. Not long after that Will Mullen received d let ter from the wife of De Guire in Cali fornia, inquiring if he was there and if he was sick. She said she had been unable to hear from him. In a later letter she said that De Guire had de- serted her when she was on a sick bed and that he had taken $700 belonging to her and also a gold watch

has been selected and canal lines run. At the reservoir site two drill camps have been in operation for the past several months with a view of deter mining the depth and character of the bedrock underlying the river at that place. This has been found at a sat isfactory depth. A curious thing de- Veloped was a flow of lava. It ex- tends across the river and forms a false bottom to it. In building the reservoir this will have to be broken through and the original bottom reached. There has been no published statement of actual results attending this work, but they are known to be almost all that can be desired.
 Mr. J. B. Lippincott, chief of the gov emmett surveys on the Pacific coast, was here two days ago, taking a gen eral look over the work. He expressed himself as being both pleased and sat- isfied with it. In an interview, for The Republican, he stated that the propo- Sition now is to build a reservoir tt the place above indicated, twenty miles or so northeast of Yuma, and to leVee both banks of the river from the res erVoir to the international line, build the necessary canals, and so on. Es- inmates to that end are now being made. If these estimates are found to be reasonable by a board of engineers, expected to arrive from Washington the latter part of next month, the sec retary of the interior will undoubtedly order the work done. This will, said Mir. Lippincott, bring 100000 additional acres of land under cultivation. Of this amount, it is understood, 60, 900 acres will be above the frost belt. With even half of this amount in oranges it will practically dominate the markets of the world. Judging by the foregoing facts it may be safely said that Yuma has a boom coming in the not distant future.
 Figuratively speaking, the farmer here is fat and saucy. He is getting $12 ton for his hay, d net profit, so 1 am told, of six and a half dollars d ton. The average crop is ten tons to the acre, but frequently it reaches as high as fifteen tons to the acre. Even It ten tons to the acre the horny handed sens of toll are making more than q comfortable living. Grain is said to pI Omise even more Tcmunrrat:Vc crop and much of the new land seeded this gear will be in grain.
 AHe uiilu DOdI" oi lidNe 'S doluS good work for this section Of the country. It's efforts are at least turn ed in the right direction and if per sistently faced to the front great good will surely result. It is to be noted, however, that very few of the business men of the town are members of the board When solicited to that end. the statement was made that they had all the business they could attend to and did not care for more. The board has gotten out some excellent printed matter, illustrated with cuts of scenes in the valley that is sure to attract at tentiOn in this direction.

DeGUIRE'S MISTAKE
May Get Out of Tempe Trouble, But
 Phoenix Waits for Him.

De Guire, the man who is in jail at Tempe. having been brought back from Sweetwater yesterday, where he was overtaken in his flight from the coun- try after robbing his partners saloon and gambling house at Tempe, left tracks in Phoenix also. Judge Neil sen, of Tempe, was in the city yester- day. He learned that after plundering the saloon at Tempe on Tuesday morn- ing, he drove to Phoenix and leaving his team at livery stable here, hired another from Luhr's corral, with which he endeavored to leave the country. On the morning of his stay here, he had two checks cashed, one of them at liar lick's saloon for $10 and the other at the Owl saloon for $20. Notwithstand- ing that his offense at Tempe must have been discovered early he did not leave Phoenix until between and 10 o'clock.
 Judge Neilsen said that when De Guire was brought to Tempe yesterday morning he said that he had no inten- ton of leaving the country. He of fered no explanation of his extraord- mary movements, why he had his mus tache cut off, and why some distance beyond Tempe when he met a man whom he knew. he pulled his hat over his face, or why, when he left the rig east of Maricopa when the driver had to turn in for water and feed for his horses, he told him to answer no ques- tions, and then struck out on foot fo: Sweetwater, where he was arrested
 De Guire's record has not been very good one at Tempe, but not much was said about his crookedness. When

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
The Caucus Candidates for Delegates
 Unanimously Chosen.

Yesterday was the time for holding the republican primaries in this coun- ty for the election of delegates to the county convention which shall in turn select delegates to the territorial, which in its turn will send delegates to the national convention There were no outward signs that anything was doing in political way yesterday. There were no contests of any charac- ter and though very good vote was boiled no special interest was taken. Republicans turned out more for the purpose of getting their hands in for the fall elections than for any other purpose. The city primaries lasted all day, but in most of the country pre- clncts the business was crowded into couple of hours of the afternoon.
 In the city and from such of the country precincts as have been heard from the caucus tickets were elected without exception. In fact no other was offered anywhere. The only sign that the caucus ticket was not entire ly satisfactory to all the republican voters was manifested in the first ward, where two tickets were scratch ed.
 The election so far as heard from re- suited in the choice of the following delegates to the county convention, which will be held on March 1:
 First Ward-I. M. Christy, E. A. Spaulding, Henry Riddle George Kirk land. Elmer Warren, Ward Hughes. F. w. Thode, H. M. Chapman, George Mauk, r.. w. Potter, Acuna Santiago. Shelby Cullom.
