More Facts about Pepsikola.

Why CLARK & Faulkner recommend
1t to their customers for dyspepsia.
"We have sold many so called dys-
pepsia cures since We have been 10
business" said one OF the above
drugg lists to representative Of this
paper, "but We must say that moth
ing has ever given such universal
satisfaction IS Pepslkola.
''We have heard chat druggists In
other cities we're having a large sale
for 1t. and as the manufacturers
authorize US to guarantee 1t to cure
dyspepsia or refund the money, we
were very glad to secure the agency
for Pepsikola. Our success with this
remarkable remedy has caused US to
wonder" the druggist continued,
'as the demand for it has made
new record for our store.'
No one need have dizzy spells, sick
neadaehe, billiousness, nervousness,
loss OF appetite, sour stomach, coated
tongue, restless nighls, or any other
symptom OF indigestion and dyspepsia
If they will use Pepsikoa.
1t Is also splendid nerve tonic;
it improves the general health, pus
on firm, solid flesh and if you are run
down or emaciated it will almost
surely increase your weight from five
to twenty pounds. You take no
chances In purchasing a 25-cent tox,
as Clark & Faulkner will hand you
the money right back over the coun-
ter II 1t fails TO do as claimed.

tention on the part OF Colorado, II

habitants to appropriate and use all

whether such prior appropriations
were individuals, states or the United
States; and would tend to destroy the

VENES IN SUIT.
Important Step in Kansas-Colo-
rado Water Litigation
1t Virtually Means
No Change.

Perhaps the only copy OF Attorney
General Knox's petition OF interven-
tion on behalf OF the United States
in the Kansas Colorado water suit,
in this section OF the country is in
the possession of Attorney John I.
Jacobs. This suit is OF vital import
ance to northern Colorado, for al
though the points directly in litiga-
tion involve onlv the waters VI the
Arkansas river, should Kansas win
its claim to these waters in the
supreme court. Nebraska could,
and no doubt would lay similar
claim to the waters in the Platte
river and all its tributaries, and
could gain these the same as Kansas
in the Arkansas river. AS under the
reclamation act the United States
government is acti 'ely in the field for
spare water IN rivers and streams for
irrigation purposes, it is important
that its relation to the case be estab-
lished by the supreme court before or
at the time that the suit between
states is decided.

course of the Arkansas river, stating
that within the watershed OF this
stream in the so-called ard region
there are about 900, 900 acres be-

question OF riparian rights.
1.-The common law doctrine of rip
arian rights he says, 'has, by
usage and custom OF the Inhabitants
in this region. and by statute law iu
some states and territories in which
the aid regions are situated, been
aorogated and in lieu thereof there
has grown up and been established
the doctrine that the waters OF nat
ural streams, also the flood and other
waters in said region may be i'm
pounded and appropriated and used
for reclaiming and lands and for other
lawful and beneficial purposes; and
that the prior appropriation Of such
waters followed BY continuous use for
and application to the purposes
named. gives right in and to the
waters appropriated superior to any

SOME PRIZE WINNERS
May Be Found in Greeley School
Exhibits.

Greeley school children are now in
the contest for Worlds Fair prizes.
The work that is to compete with
that OF other schools OF the country
was sent away last Wednesday and
Thursday. A large collection OF the
handiwork of the lower grades In the
school was on exhibition 10 room
In the basement OF the Meekel build
ing before 1t was seut away. and
while 1t may not bring back any hrst
prizes, parents OF pupils who saw the
work could not help feeling proud OF
the efforts OF their offsprings. The
collection consisted largely OF draw
ings by the pupils from the fourth to
the eighth grades inclusive. and
hand work by the first and second
grades, and really with all due honor
to the older pupils the work OF the
little folks would attract the most
attention The paper weaving and
ratf1a weaving OF the first and second
grades is remarkable for its neatness
and finish. There we're also some
excellent free hand pencil drawings
from objects, done by the fourth
graders, and some original designs In
pen and ink work. The grades up
to the eighth also showed some ex-
cellent designs in wall paper or iron
OrnamentatiOn. All OF the classes OF
work In this exhibit are new to Gree
ley schools, 1t having first been in
troduced fouI years ago. Since then
the work has been developed, and is
constantly being enlarged. 1t isl
calculated to create an interest In
school work in the backward pupil.
There were pieces Of work in the COL
lection OF clay modelling done by
pupils who apparently has not the
slightest interest In other subjects,
according to the statement Of the
teachers, but by allowing them to
follow their bent for time. an in
terest in other lessons had been
aroused.
AS compared with the work OF the
pupils OF the II ign school, that OF the
eighth grade pupils shows up favor
ably. The reason that there is so
little difference in the work of the
grades and that of the High school
when it comes to handiwork is that
these branches have been taught here
only about four years, and the
younger pupils have had fully as
much experience as those several
years older. The only difference
then Is caused from little more
mature judgment on the part OF the
older pupils. Considering the short |
time the work has been done in the |
schools the exhibits from here will
rank we'll among those from other
parts Of the state.
A large collection Of samples Of |
written work was shipped last W ednes-
day.

lte law respecting the aboRa tion
The common law doctrine Of riparian
rights, and has approved the doctrine
Of appropriation and use Of water for
irrigation and other beneficial pur.
poses, so long as it does not interfere
with the navigability OF the streams
into which the water flows; that the
common law doctrine OF riparian
rights is not applicable to riparian
lands within the arid region; for II
such doctrine we're held to be applic-
able to riparian lands in SAID region.
and enforced, the lands in that reg
ion belonging to the United States
would forever remain uninhabitable,
unuIoductive and unstable, and the
area OF ten million acres now irrigated
therein, and supporting a population
OF several million people must be de-
prived Of water fer irrigation and be
to its original desert cond:-
tion.
Then speaking of the object and
purposes OF the Reclamation Act,
passed by congress and approved by
the president June II, 1902, he says
that not less than 30, 900, 900 acres nf
land belonging to the United States
within the arid region, which are
now uninnabitable, could be made so
by the construction o! suitable res
fDr b,a or nj
Within the watershed OF the Arkan-
sas river alone there are 100, 900 acres
of ind belonging 10 the government,
at present unprodnctive that can be
and that this laud is cap
able of supporting a population Of
so, 900 people; that 81, ZOO, 900 has al
ready been expended in exploration
for reservoir sites; that contracts az
g., 900 600 for the construc-
tion of reservoirs in the arid west
have already been let, which will re-
claim not less than 800, 900 acres OF
desert land.
After these preliminaries Mr.. Knox
comes to the Kansas Colorado suit
proper and states as follows:
THAT the state OF Kansas, in and
by its amended bill Of complaint
herein, claims that it owns riparian
lands in the valley Of said Arkansas
river. In said state (kansas). and as
such riparian owner contends that 1t
Is entitled to decree compelling the
state of Colorado and its inhabitants
to permit all the waters of the Ar
kansas river within the state of
Colorado to Aow into the state of
Kansas uninterrupted. unimpeded,
and undinished That such conten-
ton on the part Of said state in effect
challenged the validity OF the doc.
trine which prevails 10 the arid reg
ions in respect to the water Of natural
streams, and OF food and other wa
ters, which doctrine the government
OF the United Statea has sanctioned
aud approved, and the maintenance
OF which Is essential to the intere. IS
of the United States and the seaeral
welfare Of the citizens thereof.
"That the atate Of Colorado, IN
and by answer to complainsnt's
amended bill Of complaint, contends
that all the waters Of the Arkansas
river and its tributaries, and all the
waters within the watershed of said

FOR RECIPROCITY
Henry M. Whitney Tells Boston
Chamber $1,000 Voters
Signed Petition.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Boston, April 14.-Henry M. Whit
ney, president of the Boston Cham
Der of Commerce., who has been the
chief advocate of Canadian reciproci-
ty at the statehouse hearings in the
past week, again presented his views
on the subject when the guest of the
Boston Life Underwriters association
last night
Mr.. Whitney declared that the trade
of New England was in a serious con-
dition, due to the westward move
ment of speculation and nfanufactur-
ing interests and the comparatively
heavy railroad transportation rates.
The offset to this tendency was to
be found, he said in reciprocal trade
relations with Can 4a. New England
farmers had prodtEed nothing that
would be brought here from Canada,
and the fishing industry of aGlouces-
tep would be vastly improved. y
The speaker said that, altho it was
absolutely republican, the party of
| Massa chustts would lend a deaf ear
| to any request for trade relief; yet
the fact that he had only few hours
before received petition signed by
$1,000 voters, calling for Canadian
reciprocity, seemed to- demonstrate
the sentiment of the state was strong
ly in favor of a movement that would
bring about the opening of the doors
| of trade.

NAVAL STAFF BLOTTED OUT
Makaroff, Sitting in Stateroom, Blown
to Pieces by Explosion.

st. Petersburg, April 14-4:05 p. NJ
Vice Admiral Stark, formerly in cons
mand Of the Russian fleet at Port Ar
thur, in an interview to-day, is quoted
as saying:
''In my opinion, the Petropavlovsk
struck one Of the contact mines laid
off Cape Liao-shan, but which had
been torn from it's moorings by the
terrible storms prevailing last week.
and which drifted, under the stress
Of south gales, into the roadstead. It
could not have been a mine laid near
the entrance of the harbor, because
the latter are not contact mines, but
are fired by an electric wire from the
shore
In naval circles there are those who
believe the explosion was internal and
not external. The word used in the
official dispatch literally means up
SET" which is equivalent to turned
turtle.
In support of the theory of an in
ternal explosion, it is declared that
the bodies Of the victims were fear
fully burned, some reports saying that
Vice Admiral Makaroff was blown to
pieces.
The loss of life involved in the
tragedy is more serious than supposed,
it being learned that Makaroff's whole
naval staff was on board the Petro-
pavlovsk.
Among Cne SLOTlcS current, Out ITO1n
what source it comes is not known,
Is one to the effect that Makaroff was
sitting in his stateroom with Rear Adj
miral Molas his chief-of-staff, when
the ship was blown up.
| Alarming reports prevail regarding
Grand Duke Cyrils condition. 1t is
said that he is in high fever, aggra-
waited by the shock, which it is feared
may bring about a crisis. The mem
bers Of his family are greatly dis
| turbed.
The wounded grand duke is exceed
ingly popular and is heir to the throne
after Grand Duke Michael, the en-
peror's brother, it being generally un-
derstood that Grand Duke Vladimir,
Cyril's father, would waive his rights
| in his sons favor.
| Grand Duke Cyrirs injuries consist
of burns on the neck and legs. A pri-
vate dispatch to his father reports that
the wounded officer is better.
A lifebuoy was thrown to the grand
duke by one of the boats which were
lowered Immediately by the warships.
/ The exact character of the injuries
1 to the Pobidda are not obtainable at
| this hour.
| The Petropavlovsk sank two and a
| half minutes after striking the mine.

ceased firing.
Either the guns have been dis
mantled or the forts have been de-
serted. The attack is described as
more effective than any that has pre-
ceded it.
The Japanese are landing forces
near Port Arthur with a view to laying
siege to the town. The fall of Port
Arthur is believed to be imminent.
Yesterdays attack was made in the
following manner:
The Japanese torpedo boat flotilla.
made demonstration before the port
at daybreak and laid mines across the
entrance to the outer harbor. They
retired and were joined by the battle
ship and cruiser squadrons, which
| had just come up.
The entire Japanese fleet advanced
and the Russian warships left the
harbor to meet it.
In the engagement that followed,
| the Petropavlovsk was destroyed.
The battleship either struck one of
the mines laid by the Japanese tor
pedo boats or was sunk by torpedoes
|
The Russian squadron then retired
toward the harbor. The Japanese
torpedo fotilla dashed forward and
cut off the torpedo boat destroyer
Bezstrashni. The Russian boat
made a desperate attempt to get
away, but was sunk, only five Of her
crew escaping death.
| AS the battleship Pobieda entered
the outer harbor, she was seen to list
heavily. A dull roar followed and it
was believed at first that she was
sinking. 1t afterward appeared that
she had struck a mine, supposed to
have been laid In the early morning
by the Japanese.
The Bayan was evidently badly in
jured. Quantities of steam were seen
lescapirg from rents in her hull.
+. Besides Vice Admiral Marakoff, ADJ
i miral Moias was killed on the
lPetropavlovsk. At the moment Of the
4 explosion, an aide shouted to Grand
Duke Cyril to jump into the sea. The
aide was killed.
