waters to the immense reservoirs that
are to be built. The Missouri river is
the water supply Of North Dakota and
this is below the level Of the lands that
must be irrigated. In the mountain
states Of the west the waters with
which to supply the reservoirs will be
far above these reservoirs, and there
will be little difficulty in getting the
waters into the reservoirs. It is a
question Of feasibility, therefore, with
North Dakota, and Senator Hans

and examination to be made, with the

DRANK UP THE EVIDENCE,

to a Liquor Prosecution by Drinking
the Evidence. A. III =
Cando Herald: Clerk of Court Peck
had very annoying circumstance oc-
cur In his Office the other day. It
seems that a bottle of the "evidence"
that was secured in the Riley pig case
at Bisbee, was sent to Professor Ladd
of the agricultural college for analysis,
and when court was in session just
before Christmas, the professor was
sent for to make his report OIL the
analysis In the trial Of the prisoner
When he arrived other cases occupied
che attention of the court, and !, as the
professor was unable to remain until
the case would come up for trial, the
court allowed his report to be taken
and the bottle figured In the court as
Exhibit A" The report and exhibit
then became matters Of court record,
and court being adjourned, Mr.. Peck
removed the evidence" to the vault
in his Office, for safe keeping until the
trial comes on. B He was oblige1 to
make out commitment papers FOR the
sheriff for the prisoners Gilmer
father and -immed iately afte-
placing the evidence" in the vault.
It was setting on shelf, in plain
view of the office. and while Mr. Peck
WAS making ont the papers for the
sheriff, the janitor, Paul Gransaulky
came In and, seeing the bottle OF
evidence. remarked that that's the
stuff that puts them ali on the hog
and guessed he'd go in and take look
at 1t, which he did. Mr.. Peck being
busy and paying no attention, as the
janitor Was In the habit Of passing in
end out OF all the 4 fiices In The court
house, at his work. But his attention
was called to the matter very forcibly
when Deputy Henderson, who had just
come down from tho co..st room. asked
him IL he knew that the janitor was
drinking thta stun In the vanlt. he
had seen him stand In thn vault with
the bottle to his lips as he came IN the
Office door Mr.. Peck Immediately
jumped up and made for the door ot
the vault and was met by Paul. com.
ing out On being asked II he had
been drinking the beverage IN the
vault, he denied It. but on being con
fronted by Mr.. Henderson. who said
II saw You drinking It" he said he
supposed It wasn't needed any more
and he admitted that he had drank
It, which Mr.. Peck found to be only
too true On examining the bottle. he
had drank the full quart Judge

MRS. MAVERICKS BOOK.

Editor Morning News: Mrs. May
bricks Own Story: Her Fifteen Years
of English prison life," will be issued
In December by the Funk & WagnaIls
Company OF London and New York.
Ever since her arrival in America she
has been the guest of my family. This
l say only to Justify my personal sig
nature to this appeal. The book has
been written wholly by Mrs. May
brick, except the legal digest and other
matter in the appendix. II is literally
her own story, and it is pitifully pa
thetic. Mrs. Maybrick was sentenced
TO be hanged by a judge who, not long
after the trial, under the advice of his
physicians resigned his judgeship be-
cause Of a mental disease. (See Die
tionary of National Biography, Vol.
LIV., page 1867. Three days before the
appointed day for execution, the SEN
tence was committed to Imprisonment
for life. Through the bias Of a mem
tally unsound judge, this American
woman was kept for all these years IN
an English prison in spite of the ur-
gest remonstrances Of eminent Amer
leans, as Secretaries Blaine and Hay.
and in the face Of earnest representa-
lions by Presidents Harrison, Cleve-
land, and Mckinley. The legal digest
of the trial TO be presented I'm the book,
as a supplement to her story, will, I
am sure, be conclusive evidence TO all
unprejudiced minds OF Mrs. Maybrick's
innocence, legal as well as moral The
digest is made up very largely from
the voluminous proofs and pleas in
her behalf by Lord Russell, late Lord
Chief Justice Of England. There could
be scarcely a greater miscarriage OF
Justice than there was In this case.
In her book, Mrs. Maybrick has
brought herself, at the urgency Of
her friends, to tell her story In full.
She tells II now here for the first time,
asking for a vindication IN the minds
and hearts Of her countrymen. IL Is
dignihed and womanly throughout, and
without a trace OF bitterness. Indeed,
It reveals a beautiful altruistic spirit
IN Its final pleas for the establishment
Of q British Court OF Appeals and GER
tain greatly needed reforms IN the
conduct Of prisons for women. Though
free herself al last she can not for
get the pitiable plight Of those who
may hereafter be the victims OF n
terrible mistake similar 70 that for
which she suffered.
There IL a side Of this fad narrative
that should speak with special force

justice and 81 fair play Mrs. May

flags with n strip Of canvas at the
top bearing the names OF the candi-
dates are much in evidence this year.
Most of the flags measure twenty by
thirty feet.
American Flag Company, In Elizabeth
street. when seen by your correspond
ent, said:
II have been in this business thlr-
ty-seyen years. Our concern has sup
piled many OF the flags, banners and
pennants used for political display pur-
poses during that time, and / must
say that there are fewer banners swung
in this than in any Presidential cleo
ton that ] can recall.
why, II isn't a patch 10 the Nc
Kinley election eight years ago, when
Mark Hanna made flags and banners
a feature Of the election. He had
what was called a flag day. and on
the day set for the occasion hun
dreds Of thousands OF flags and ban
ners were simultaneously unfurled all
over the United States"
When asked how he accounted for
the lack OF this particular kind Of dis
play, Mr.. Gotthelf said:
THE Republicans are 80 confident
that Roosevelt Will be elected that the
Campaign Committee evidently has de-
cided not TO spend any more money
than Is absolutely necessary. On the
other hand, the Democrats see no good
reason for spending money in such a
way"
The display this year in Greater
New York includes about six hundred
large flags, $50 net banners, and the
usual quantity of small matter such
as portraits in llthograph, on PEN
