AN IRRIGATION EPOCH
Wonderful Future In Sight for This
and Foreign Countries-Big
Works Projected.

There is nothing that portends
I the future greatness of the present
civilization more than the efforts
now being put forth in the arid re-
ginns of the earth to make the des-
fert and waste places habitable and
productive. Archaeologists tell us
that where they have found mans
struggle for existance hardest, there
they have found the highest types
of civilization that are dead and
gone.
On the high plateaus of Sosth
America and the mesas OF Mexico;
in the desert where flows the Nile,
on the bleached plains of Arabia
and where the sacred Ganges
courses to the sea are found traces
of feats of irrigating skill, broken
works of art, ruined temples and
shrines that equal and in some in
stances surpass the boasted skill.of
modern engineering, art and arch
itecture.
Notable among these was the
great canal ways taken from the
and Tisris to make
fruitful the desert plains OF Chal-
dea. These it were that made pos
sible t., have such fourishing cities
ages ago as Nipur, Niniveh and
Babylon. One of these canals was
over $50 miles in length ahd when
through the open country

WAS LATE AND LUCKY
Being Late Switches Opened
to Ditch the Limited.

1t was fortunate for the pa sen
ge-s and train crew on No. that
the train was over two hours late
Sunday night. Had it been on
time there is little doubt but what
one of the worst wie ks known in
years on the Short Line would
have occurred at Ticeska.
Evidently with the intention of
of putting No. in the ditch, some
one broke the sw .tch locks at that
siding and opened the switches. The
lock on the derailing switch near
the west end of the siding was also
broken and that switch was op-
ened. Betw' en- Ticeska and King
Hill is Y, and here the locks
on both switches connecting it with
the main track were broken and
the switches opened.
1t happened that freight from
the west pulled slowly up the hill
before No. got there and ran in
on the Y. AS ,on as the engineer
discovered that something was
wrong the train was stopped and
an examination was made. The
freight then pulled into Bliss and |
wire was sent 10 Sheriff Swope who
with Deputy Sheriff Brown just
had time to catch No. l here and !
go down to the scene of the at
tempted wreck.
Inquiry developed that freight
train crew had put couple OF
tramps off at Ticeska siding Sun

that they had tamperel with the

Dawson, May 1.-THE Yukon river

STANLEY
WAS REPORTER WHEN ORDERED
TO AFRICA TO LOCATE
LIVINGSTONE.
Was Writing Western STUFF for New
York Herald Whon Famous Mes
sage Came Which Took Him to the
Dark continent-First Confederate
and Afterwards Joined the Navy.

Henry NJ. Stanley was a newspaper
reporter in Omaha during the late COS,
when he got his famous telegram from
James Gordon Bennett. Find Living
stone,' says the Omaha Bee. He had
previously been engaged by the New
| York Herald as a western correspond
ent, and was sending accounts Of from
tier life from Omaha. Many anecdotes
are recalled of his life here by those
who knew him at that time. He
wasn't noted for his activity in any
particular direction, but a always
attending to business. He revisited
Omaha in 1890, after his marriage
with Miss Dorothy Tenant. which GER
emory was celebrated at Westmin-
lister Abbey in London on July II, 1890.
Stanley vas born nea Denbigh,
Wales, January %, 1S41, and at the age
of 3 years was placed in the poorhouse
where he remained until he was ten
years old. When Is he sailed as cabin
boy on a vessel bound for New Or
leans. There he was adopted by a
merchant named Stanley, whose name
he assumed, his original lame having
been John Rowlands. Stanley's pat
ron died without leaving a will, and
the young man was thrown on his own
at the breaking out of the
war.
He Unlisted in the confederate army,
was captured and afterwards joined
the federal nevy, serving as acting en-
sign of the Ticonderoga. After the
war he entered the service Of the New
York Herald, going first to Turkey,
then to Abyssinia, and finally coming
to Omaha, from whence he was start
ed on his trip to Africa. He sailed
from Bombay in october. 1870, reach
ed Zanzibar in January, 1871, and in
November of that year came to Liv-
ingstone in the central part of Africa.
For the next year they were tcgeth-
er, exploring the unknown heart of
the Dark Continent" and finally Liv-
ingstone died and Stanley made his way
back to England. Subsequent expedi-
lions to Africa for the purposes of ex-
plorations under patronage of news
papers and various governments we're
undertaken by Mr.. Stanley, his last
having been for the relief of Emin
Pasha, in 1887.
Many honors were showered on the
explorer by universities and govern
ments, and his last few years have
been spent in honorable retirement in
England, where he had established his
citizenship and made a short expedi-
ton into politics.

There has been considerable, talk
recently of a contest between the boys
Of the High school and the university
at Laramie, says the Cheyenne Tri-
bune. The arrangements have for the
most part fallen through on account
of the attitude of the university. They
have objected to the adoption OF The
regular field sports, and urge substi-
tutes of various events for features,
in which their men are apparently
trained and would naturally win.
The university men have also urg-
ed that the contests take place in
Cheyenne. This has been agreeable
to the High school boys, but it would
seem a better nov on the part of the
university authorities to encourage. as
far as possible, visits to the university
grounds by those who may be students
later on.
The boys of the Cheyenne high
school are at present taking an ex-
traordinary interest in athletics and
military tactics. 1t would e that
the best advertising that the university
could get would be the gathering on
its W campus Of young men from
other schools who could see for them
selves what is being done at the uni
versity.

Vienna, May IAN almost incredi-
BILE story is related here from a small
village in Hungary: Helen Fritsch,
daughter of a wealthy farmer, was bur
led the other day, and. according to
a wish expressed before, she was ex
hibited in her coffin wearing all her
rings and jewelry, which were after,
wards buried with her.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, after the
funeral had taken place, the caretakcr
in the cemetery heard a knock at his
window, and, looking out, was horri-
fed to see the face Of the girl he had
just buried.
He rushed out and just as he reach
ed her she fell to the ground in a faint.
He carried her into the house and saw
that three fingers on her right hand
were missing. The village physician
was Immediately notified, and when the
girl was restored to consciousness she
stated that she had been awakened by
feeling great pain. and on opening her
eyes saw two men climbing up a ladder
from the grave. The top of the coffin
had been smashed in by the graverob-
bers, who, not being able to pull the
rings of her fingers, had chopped the
fingers of, and 1t was the pain that

THE HARDIN CASE Is
SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

The case of Absolem Hardin against
Charles Harden, which was on the
docket at the last term OF court and on
motion of the defendant changed to
Sweetwater county, has been settled
out of court, says the Rawlins Repub-
lican.
The suit arose over the transfer Of
some land from the plaintiff to the de-
PENDANT. which was alleged to be IN
illegal and fraudulent transaction.
The defendant settled the matter by
paying 500 and costs of the case so
far, and the clerk of the court in Sweet
water county has been instructed to
strike 1t from the docket in that coun-
ty. N. R. Greenfield and c. E. Blyden-
burgh were the attorneys in the case.
The defendant offered to pay 5000 at
the time of court, but the plaintiff
wanted 81 900.

years that Howe was chief ~ju~tice he
constantly summoned women as jurors
and repeatedly gave the strongest ties
timony as to their efficiency. In com
piling the first volume of the Laws o.
Wyoming. Secretary and Acting Gov.
ernor Edward NJ. Lee quoted a former
governor as saying: THE only dis
senting voices against woman suffrage
have been those of convicts tried and
found guilty by women jurors" And
he adds: Women exercised the right
of jurors and contributed to the speedy
release Of the territory from the re.
CINE of pistol and bowie knife. They
not only performed their new duties
without losing any Of the womanly vir.
tues, and with dignity and decorum.
SEEM
Attorney General NJ. C. Brown said
in a public letter: II have been asked
If ome make good jurors, and I an.
swer by saying that as a lawyer | find
but little fault with them. They
see the truth of a thing at a glance,
and. their minds once settled, neither
sophistry, logic, rhetoric, pleading nor
tears will move them from their pur,
pose. A guilty person never escapes
a Just punishment when tried by wo-
men jurors"
Much more evidence of the highest
character might be submitted showing
the eficienty Of women jurors in Wy
oming, where the experiment had its
most thorough trial. The best women
in the territory served and they were
treated with the greatest res~ect. The
successor of Chief Justice Howe had a
prejudice against women in this posi-.
ton and non were summoned by him.
AS the population increased and life
became more complex. women were
absorbed in other occupations; the ju.
ries are made up of the tax lists, which
do not contain a large proportion of
women; they were not anxious to
serve and SO the custom of summoning
women has fallen into disuse, but
there never has been any decision
against 1t, and they are still occasion.

.SHARPERs At WORK
ORGANIZED BAND PREPARING TO
PREY ON PROSPECTIVE WEST
ERIN HoME-sEEkERs.
BY Means Of Advertisements CIeverIy
Worded They Claim to Have Sc
cured Inside Information Regard
ing Plans of Government Enai-
neers-Guarantee Best Land.

Washington, May 12.-An. organized
band of swindlers is actively at work
in. several western states, notably
Utah, North Dakota and South Dakota,
and also operating to a lesser extent
in the east. These sharpers have Sc
lected as easy victims prospective
homeseekers who are greatly interest
ed in the various reclamation projects
undertaken by the government.
By means of advertisements clever
ly worded. in which they claim to have
secured inside information regarding
the plans of the engineers, and by the
display of alleged copies OF government
maps and surveys. they have been sue
cessful in dipping many unwary home
seekers. For a consideration of from
$50 to 5000 these swindlers guarantee
to locate settlers upon the best irrl-
gable lands under the government
works.
Notwithstanding that the govern,
ment some time ago issued a circular
warning the people against being TAX
en- in by just such frauds, and swim
ding goes right along and the sharks
are reaping a rich harvest. 1t should
be clearly understood that these sharp
ers have no inside information. Their
maps are mere township plats or rough
drafts such as can be obtained from
the land office. The swindlers have no
data other than any intending settler
can obtain upon request of the depart
ment.
The land under these government
projects are withdrawn from all entry
excepting homesteaders before any
actual work of construction is ordered
and the secretary is by law required
to outline the size and location OF each
farm. Until the plans are complet-
ed for construction and the contract
has been let for the works it is impOs-
sible to state with any degree Of &C.
curacy what the cost of the water will
be or what lands will be irrigated. Set
tiers who make filings based on the in
formation received from these swindlers
will not only lose the money paid out,
but are liable later to find the lands
are not included in the governments
proposed system, and thus will have
exhausted their homestead entry upon
worthless land. When the proper time
comes for throwing open to homestead
entry the lands under these great ir-
rigation projects the secretary of the
interior will give due notice through
the public press. Until such announce
ment it will not be safe Ior settlers to
locate upon these lands.
