Now is a good time to approach

OF men. new hospital will be
absolutely necessary. The officials
might overlook the matter unless

Value of Pumping.

The importance OF irrIgatinR
land by pumping water from the
undeIflow is beginning to be
recognized. and this feature Of
irrigation is growing very rapidly.
The national irrigation act has
stimulated this work enormously
and has already increased the
demand for the irrigated lands of
the west. Experiments show that
in many portions Of the arid west
wells sunk from eighteen to fifty
feet will supply large sections OF
land which can not be irrigated in
any other way, and in this manner
low or seepage land can be made
valuable by water being forced up
on to the dry and Improbable
tablelsnd. No storage reservoirs
are necessary and the expens. Of
canals and irrigation bitches is
thereby saved Tests have recent

Colorado nigh Schools.

At the recent meeting in Chicago
Of the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
nine Colorado high schools were
added to the accredited list OF the
association. These we're the two
Pueblo high schools, and one each
from the following named cities.
Colorado Springs. Trinidad. La
junta. Greeley. Cripple Creek.
Canon City and Leadville, the
Denver schools having been &C
credited some time ago.
The admission OF so large a
number OF Colorado high schools
to this list at a time is a gratifying
tribute to the th"roughness and
sufficiency OF public education in
this state, the more SO as the
schools were given an exception
ally high rank upon the sh ,wine
made by them.
Colorado has always taken =
pride in her schools. hut il is safe
to say that they were never in
better condition than 1t the pres
ent time. And il is also true be-
youd doubt that this state COM
pares very favorabIy with any
other community Of similar con-
ditions, . fact which may not be
entirely disconnected from the
prevalence Of woman suffrage in

SEiaERT NOT GUILTY.
Oska'oosa Boy Murderer is Acquitted
By Jury.

Oskaloosa, Nov. 21.--After being
ont less IMAM an hour the jury re-
turned q verdict of not guilty in the
case of State VS.. Jimmie Seibert,
charged with the murder Of J. l.. Mel
son. Seibert killed Nelson with shot
gun, but did the deed, as he thought,
In defense of his sister.
Nelson came to the Seibert home
with Charles Carpenter, who is now
serving term in the penitentlary for
he ruin CT Mae Seibart, the boys SIS
:er. The boy Ior year had been
wrought up over the deed, and sur
missing that Nelson was an accoinplice
If Carpenters, the boy went after
them with a gun. Carpenter made
good his escape. while Nelson was
hit.
1t was also shown that Seibert lad
brooded over his family troubles so
much that he was not in his right
mind when he fired the fatal shot
The verdict was the signal for a
sigh of relief upon all sides ana the
members Of the Seibert family broke
completely down and quite a scene
ensued. Mother and sister could not
control themselves and for a time
wept cOnvulsively. Jimmie, the de-
PENDANT, seemed not to realize the i'm
portance of the verdict and sat al
most unmOved Friends and neigh
bors crowded about the family and
congratulations were freely offered,
but they were SO overcome that they
could little more than extend their
thanks

BOY SUICIDES; FEARED ARREST.

aged IA years, to take carbolic acid
at the home OF his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Messner, 1914 Seventh

of 12-pound boxes OF chocolate were

ing. This is thought to have led him
to take bottle of carbolic acid out of
his mothers pantry and drink the
contents.
Three physicians were called to at
tend the lad and they succeeded in
keeping him alive for a time but could
not bring him out Of his stupor The
smell Of carbolic acid on his breath
and the general symptoms of the
case left no doubt, according to DR..
Rice, as to the fact of poisoning. 1t
was learned also that the boy after
being told that he might be arrested
had said to one of his companions
that he would go away from home or
do something tn himself

RACE WAR THREATENED.
White Miners Refuse to Work Longer
With Negroes.

Boone, Nov. 21.-Race war is
feared as consequence of the shoot
ing at Fraser Saturday evening, In
which James Price, negro miner,
shot and fatally wounded Thomas AL
bright, white companion. Albright
Is much worse and is slowly sinking
The doctors say that he cannot re
cover.
The white miners held a meeting
yesterday afternoon, ut which thes
voted to decline to work with the
colored miners. Feeling has run
high since the discovery mat Price
was in Fraser at 10 o'clock last night,
and the whites charge the negroes
with affording him shelter. There
are from thirty-five to fifty negroes
in the camp, and about 1900 white
men. Most of the men carry revolv-
ers, and if an ARRAY was once started
it would probably be q bloody con-
flict.
1t has been learned that Price,
after the shooting crossed the river,
going in the direction Of Fraser juno
ton. Later on, he returned to
Fraser and, 1t is surmised. was con-
cealcd by his friends until he was
all searched by the whites in their
search for Price. but he was enabled
to evade their scrutiny. 1t Is now
thought that he Is making for Des

DISCOVER DEFECT
IN AMENDMENT
Council Bluffs Parties Fear
for Biennial EIec-
tons.
WORDING OF THE BALLOT
Did Not Specify Amendment to Iowa
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Fathered
BY Senator Titus May Receive
Second Beath From Slight Defect

Des Moines, Nov. GA defect has
been discovered in the biennial cleo
tons amendment which attorneys in
Council Bluffs, who made the discov-
cry, fear may knock out the legisla.
ton, although 1t carried at the pres
ent election. The amendment Of Sena.
tor Titus which was once knocked out
by slight defect, may receive sec
ond death blow from the same cause.
The discovery Is that the ballot
which the people Of Iowa voted No
vember s, submitted a question as
follows: Shall the following amend
ment to the constitution be adopted?
Add as section 16 to article IL of the
constitution the following" And then
the biennial elections amendment ap-
peared in full, as it will appear in the
constitution IL decided to have been
adopted.
The question which has been raised
related to the omission from this sub
Ritted inquiry of the statement that
1t Is the constitution Of Iowa which ii
lie proposed to amend. The criticism
Is that the question should have been
submitted in this form: Shall the
following amendment to the constitu
ton of Iowa be adopted: Add as sec.
ton 16 to article IL Of the con3titu-
ZION OF Iowa the following" etc. The
words "of Iowa" do not appear on the
ballot which the voters voted Novem
Der 8.
Recalling the technical attitude Of
the supreme court in the former
amendment cases when the prohiri-
tory amendment and the first biennial
elections amendment were declared
not part of the constitution for
| technical reasons, it Is feared that the
| supreme court will decide that the
| omission Of the words "of Iowa" viii
be sufficient to defeat the amendment
Lawyers here declined to advance
opinions on constitutional law, OFF
hand, but said that there was no pre-,
cedent by which this case coull be
decided. 1t was said by them, now
ever, that the people of iowa nave
power tO vote on amendments 70 bat
one constitution, and the question.
was submitted for the amendment of
"the" constitution. The article used
Is the definite and not the indefinite
article. 1t was tine" constitution
which the voters were asked to vote
to amend or not to amend-being the
only constitution on the amendment
Of which they were entitled to vote
This. some lawyers thought, would
be sufficient to save the amendment
