which she and her husband have been
subjected since their arrest, Mrs. Lou
Alberts confessed that her husband,
Henry Alberts, struck the fatal blow
that has left Mrs. Ada Manuel hang

were the first to notify the police OF
the woman's terrible plight She had
been struck over the head with a

that robbery was also motive, stol
en- goods having been found in the
rooms Of the Alberts family.

writing In the sand.

It may be news to many persons that
the use of sand for teaching children
to write and form their letters is still
practiced In some Of the small schools
in the rural districts Of the north OF
England. Thousands of our forefa-
theirs learned to write and to make fg-
ures with sharp pointed stick manip-

an age when copy books were unattain-
able and steel pens undreamed Of.

TOTAL REGISTRATION ALMOST
EQUALS THAT OF LAST PRES.
lDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
Total Names on Registration Books
Number 4,s7s-1soo Registration
Was 4,se4-FuII Registration usurs
Well for Full Vote Election Day.

From Mondays Daily.
With total registration but fifteen
short of the heavy registration for the
general election of 1900 the registra-
ton books for the 1904 election closed
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock with
4,S79 names. The indications are that
about 100 names of voters out of the
city will be added to the present total
and that there will be a slight increase
over the 1900 total
Those in touch with the situation
state that it is their opinion that the
registration is within one or two hun
bred of the total vote of the city.
County Chairman Harry Hammond
states that there has been nc more
difficulty getting ont the present reg
istration than there was four years
ago when the excitement and interest
in the election was intense He states
that the registration is certainly not
more than two hundred smaller than
might be expected from the natural
increase in the number of voters in
the city.
Augurs Well.
II consider that the registration
augurs well for good full vote or
election day" said Chairman Ham
mond. Considering the apathy that
has existed during the campaign I an
surprised that the registration is as
full as it is. believe that we will
poll almost the full republican vote"
Total Registration.

BETTING IS SLOW
LITTLE MONEY BEING sTAkED IN
oTTuMwA UPON RESULTS OF
THE ELECTION.
Even Money is Offered on 1000 for
Roosevelt in WapeIIo County and
$4,000 in state-No Money Placed
on County and Congressional Ticket.

From Mondays Daily.
II the beeting in and about Ottumwa
is any criterion upon which to base an
opinion as to the results of the cleo
ton next Tuesday Roosevelt is to
have a walk away in Iowa and is to
win in handsome manner in New
York and Indiana. Not many bets are
being laid among the sporting men Of
Ottumwa but such as have come to
light all show a genuine confidence in
the success of the republican ticket.
10000 In Iowa.
Locally even money is being bet
that Roosevelt will carry Wapello
county by 1000 plurality and the
same money Is being laid that he will
carry the state by 10000 Even money
and in some cases slight odds are be-
ing offered on the result in New York
but no takers have been found. The
feeling Is so certain in regard to In.
diana that no matter what odds have
been offered no takers have been
found.
On the county and congressional
candidates the feeling is SO strongly
in favor of the success Of the repub
lican candidates that SO far as is
known no money has been wagered at
all. It is not believed that much
money has as yet been wagered in OF
tumwa on the result of the election
or any place yet and there is little
prospect that the betting will become
much more brisk during the day to-
morrow.

THE KILLING OF A JOCKEY
Horse Fell on the Back Stretch of the
 Brighton Beach Derby.

New York, July 23.-The sport at Brighton Beach was marred today by the fatal injury of Jockey Swatsell. In the second race Opuntia on the back stretch fell at a jump throwing Swat sell and then rolling on him. The jock sy died shortly afterward in a hospital.
 Ort Wells, winner of the Common wealth handicap, the Lawrence Real ization and many other stakes, today added another to his already long list of victories by capturing the S1O,O00 Brighton Beach derby.
 The Drake horse was ridden out. beating Broomstick by one and one half lengths. Knight Errant was third, three lengths back. After the jockeys had weighed out the stewards disqual- flied Broomstick for interfering with Ort Wells in making the turn into the stretch the first time. Knight Errant was officially played second and Boab- -dil third. Tradition, the favorite won the S7.000 Venus stake for two year alds.

RECORDERS NEW BOND
His Report Also Submitted to Board
 Supervisors.

There was a meeting of the board of supervisors yesterday at which the additional bond of Recorder McFall was approved. t was a Fidelity and Sure ty company bond in the sum of $3,001. There was also submitted the report of the recorder which had been de manded at the meeting at which he was ordered to furnish the additional bond. He was given ten days in which to file the bond and the report and both were furnised within the week.
 In the afternoon the board visited the poor farm, which has become an overcrowded institution. The number of inmates there now is considerably above the average. Tkis circumstance is due in some measure to the policy of the board to withdraw support as far as possible from indigents living outside the institution, on the theory that it would be cheaper to maintain them there than elsewhere, and also it was thought that some who are receiv- ing help from the county now might not be needing it so badly as to go to the poor farm after 1t.
 It has never been the policy of the present board or of it's. predecessors to give a great deal of outside aid but there have arisen cases which made it necessary. and the practice grew to cases in which it was not absolutely necessary.
 The rest of yesterdays session Of the beard was spent in the auditing of ac- counts.

SALT RIVER FLOODS
Over 100000 Inches of Water Run.
 ming All Day Yesterday.

At the time of this writing there has been no rain since yesterdays papa, went to press, though the skies look hopeful. But ;he conduct Cf Salt -l Yer yesterday was delightful and worthy of special mention, due to the rains of the preceding two or three days on the watersheds of the Verde and Salt rivers.
 Early in the morning the water ros, until it gained a depth of two feet over the Arizona canal dam, which is hun dreds of feet long, the canal being all ready full. Later it lowered slightly, then raised again and at 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon it was still running two feet deep over the dam. Before dark last night the flood waters had reached Tempe, making the river un- fordable and all night long it was run ming by Phoenix, deeper than was safe for fOrding. At least that is the con- clusion from the appearance of things at Tempe.
 Those who profess to know some thing about stream flow say that the Arizona canal when full carries 90, 900 inches of water or more and that two feet of water over the dam indicates from 275,O 900 to 2S5, 900 inches. That means that between 210,OOO and 225, 900 inches of water was running in the river nearly all day yesterday at the
Arizona republican., 1904-07-24

canal head. And contrasting that with less than 5,00s inches, that was run ming before the rains, the reader can get an idea of the magnitude of the raise. It takes the water from eight to fourteen hours to reach here from the canal head, according to the size of the flow and the previous condition of the river.
 A telephone report reached Mesa city yesterday that there had been a second flood on the upper reaches of the Salt river, at the storage basin and beyond. that had not yet reached this valley, hence it is expected there will be high water for several days even if no more rain falls. But the more the merrier and it is to be hoped that rains will be frequent the rest of the sum mer. that the hillsldes and valley de- posits may be soaked to the utteImost. Already sufficient rain has fallen to quench the thirst of the dying cattle in most ranges and probably to start the grass, but rain is one of the good things that can seldom be overdone in Arizona.
 The fears of a breaking of the Ari- zona canal banks above Glendale on Friday night were not realized, though q big flood came down the Cave creek wash.
 At Tempe yesterday afternoon the driver of Ben Georges stage tried to ford the river and found himself stalled in the sand. He finally got the outfit out, but his mules had a narrow escape from drowning.

Russia Promises to be Good
 Under Conditions
SEVERAL PRIZES AFLOAT
It Is Understood That No More Will be Taken hut the Russian Ships Will Investigate Suspicious Vessels. The War Is Getting Rained Upon.

St. Petersburg, July 23.-The Asso- ciated Press is able to announce that Russia has officially informed Great Britain that orders have been issued to Russian cruisers in the Red Sea not to arrest any more merchantmen and it has been agreed between the two pow CTS that pending the receipt of these orders by the captains of the St. Pet erSburg and the Smolensk, if any other ship should be stopped and held as prizes, these acts will be regarded as not having taken place and the ships concerned will be released at once.
 While not admitting the illegality of the action of the Russians in convert ing vessels of the volunteer fleet into warships after they reached the Red Sea, probably Russia will formally not ify the powers of their conversion in- to warships, thus putting all neutrals upon their guard. Meantime all ships seized will be released unless the cap >ains refuse to show their manifest.
