OdeI Claims. 80, 9,OoO--Both Sides

Tuesday.
New York w orld.

New York World.
The leaders Of the two great politi-
cal parties are preparing to enter
upon the last week of the campaign
with more vigor than has character
lied any preceding stage of it. The
indications are that there will be
considerable ssginger" injected into
the final struggle. Both are prepared
to dispute every point all over the
country, and particularly in the So
called "doubtful'' States.
Both sides are claiming the major
ity in the electoral college, with
more or less assurance, based upon
what they regard as indications that
justify their confidence.
The rival leaders have begun to
put forth figures claimed by their
authors to be based upon the actual
results of canvasses, polls and per-
sonal investigation.
The Democrats and Republicans
alike lay claim to New York. The
Democrats are much more sansuine
of carrying New York--the most
important State at issue. The Dem
ocrats insist lat they will carry
New York for both Judge Parker
and the Democratic State ticket, and
their enthusiasm is growing.
The Republicans, while still de-
claring the battle practically decided
in favor of their national and State
tickets, nevertheless allow some
value to the indications OF the var
ious polls and estimates in New
York.
Senator T. I'll. McCarren, Chair
man of the Executive Com mittee OF
the Democratic State Committee,
predicts there will be a landslide IN
this State for Judge Parker. Gov.
Oden has received from local leaders
all over the State figures which he
says indicate Republican plurality
offs, ,000.
"LANDsLIDE,' SAYS McCARREN.
81 firmly believe that there is go
ing to be landslIde," said Senator
McCarren yesterday. ''rhe figures
printed this morning are the first
public indication OF stage of things
of the existence, of which l have
been aware for some time. l was
not surprised by the figures, and /
do not believe they are excessive.
.sI base what I say upon an actual
canvass of the election districts in
Brooklyn which we have made, and
of election districts up the State which
have been made by the State Com
nittee. In one election district in
the German section of Brooklyn
where 373 votes are cast for Parker
is going to get IS votes that were
cast for Mckinley. The German
vote is going for Parker, otherwise
we could not. expect anything like
the 10000 plurality which we con-.
fdently count on in Kings.
"In the election district speak OF
an interesting feature is that where
there were six Socialists four years
ago there are now so. Twenty-Five
of those Socialists declared themsel-
yes for Herrick.

publicans in the election of Roose-
yeIt is all bluff. There is a great
silent vote that is not making any
noise and which is going to Parker.
It is going to be the great factor in
this campaign. Parker will carry

get Brooklyn by $4,000. [ have

Kansas Water Suit.

Attorney General n O. Miller re
turned yesterday fron Washington.
where he appeared before the United
States supreme court in the Kansas
Colorado water rights controversy.
Incidently before returning to Den
yer he spent 10 days investigating
conditions along the Arkansas river
in Kansas and fatniiarizing himself
with conditions that will be met with
in subsequent phases of this great
case.
In discussing the matter last even
ing Attorney General Miller stated
that The United States supreme
court had taken no definite action
indicative of what Its future decision
might he; it had postponed the whole
contention until HI investigation of
the situation in both states can he
made and evidence submitted to
Judge Richardson, the master ap-
pointed for that purpose. All the
rulings made by the high tribunal
up to date have been solely on the

factory selection to both sides. Judge
Richardson IS chairman OF the irri
CATION commission Of New Mexico
and is we'll qualified aud compe
tent man.
New Mexico has made great
strides in irrigation matters and is
building up system Of equitable
and practical laws on the subject.
The evidence after it has been taken
will be filed with the clerk Of the
United States supreme court.
"The main controversy in this case
is not, as the impression seems to be,
a question as to the division OF water.
The big question is that Kansas
claims q natural and extensive un.
derfow, beginning at Dodge City.
and that state claims the use Of
water by Colorado for irrigation pur
poses is gradually drying up thi-

don't believe there is any great sent
iment in Kansas against the use Of
water for irrigation purposes by
Colorado. NJ, trip WAS OF course
only superficial one and my inves'-
igations were not exhaustive, but i
srn satisfied that while this uudsr
flow unnoubtedly exists, the uss Of
water by this state from the MAIN
chsunel is not affecting the under
flow. As u matter Of fact the bust
ness people Of the state Of Kansas
are not taking any great interest in
this case and Kansas already has 40
much water that it don't bnow what
to do with it."

Miss Aimee Mourning, who has a

latter part Of last week, instructing

At a meeting OF the school board
last Saturday night, the principalship
OF our school WAS rendered Geo. X

plesdings and not upon proof and no
conclusions can be- drawn at the
present time on the merits Of the po
siiion taken by either state.
"rhe fact OF the matter Is," said
Attorney General Miller, 1.-The su
preme court wants to see what there
il in the case. 1t is perhaps the
first of many. 1t involves princi
pies that may bother the supreme
court again in years to come-and
for this reason any ruling that is
made must set . reliable precedent
for fnture cases OF this kind. Inas-
much rs the supreme court has stat
ed that it will not pass on any OF the
questions at issue bstween the two
states until the whole case has de
veloped and uctual evidence has been
taken and submitted. 1t shifts the
whole matter in n legal way from the
Office to the field.
"We must now get out and invest

through which this river passes, the
nature of the soil, the water itself
and it's distribution, and all the ones

at will be necessary for all OF the
Colorado attorneys to familiaiize
themselves With the situation along

delegated to take mp the situation
thoroughly / would like to see all
the others make personal trips along
the river. Who the attorney will be
to make this trip is of course not
settled at this time, but it must be
soon. 1t is probable that the Kan
sas attorneys will begin submitting
evidence at least by July 20 and we
should be prepared to submit ours
at the same time
"The question Of selecting a mas

left with the attorneys for both sides

They arrested him. Under
ordinary circumstances he
would have been Gagged like a
wild beast to pay the penalty
that society demands for mis-
deeds.
But Chicago has a wise Judge
in E. o Brown, who believes
that sometimes there is a better
penalty than prison life.
He called the men before him,
the ,sorrowful William and the
blind Charles, and imposed this
strange sentence.
William Kindt is to take care
OF his brother as long as be
lives. He is to provide every
comfort that his means will ad-
NIT. In the event hat:William
marries, his first care must still
be Charles. He must read to
him, talk TO him, lead him, and
as far as possible take the place
OF the eyes that were destroyed
by the slash of a razor. la ad-
dition he must assume the care
of the old mother. and be good
to her in every way he knows
how.
1t is a life sentence, and Will
liam Kindt gladly accepted the
conditions, and gave bond for
the performance of his duty.

er who made him blind left the

The New Year. 4

No pause, rest, no visual line
Between the years that come and go!
For some too fast for some too Slow
Time never stops to sleep or dine,
But on and on with steady flight
He keeps untired, by day-by night,
And boys and girls, ere yet aware
Find threads of silver in their hair,
Their love of quiet growing stronger;
And, haply, by the these tokens know,
What kind friends told them long ago,
That they are buys and girls no longer.
Still on, as silent as ghost!
Seems but score of days. all told,
Or but month or two at most,
Since our last New Years song we trolled,
And 10! that New Year now is old.
And here we stand to say Good By!
Brief words. and yet-we scarce know why,
They bring a moisture to the eye,
And to the heart some quakes and aches;
We speak them very tenderly,
With halt sob and half a sigh
''Old Year, good by!" ''Old Year, good by"'
For what it brought, for what it takes,
We love It, and tor loved ones sakes;
Priced for its hours of happiness
Nor for it's sacred sorrows less;
For all it gave through toll and strife
Of new significance to life
Newbreadths, uewdepths, wheigthssublime,
And haply, Kingship over time
Accept our thanks, Old Year! for these,
And for all the precious memories
OF love. of grief, of joy, of pain.
Whose ministry was not in vain.
And so we sadly lay, Old Year!
Our love-wreath on thy snowy bier,
Onr love wreath moistened with tear;
And turning from our brief adieu.
With kindly welcome hail the new;
True to the Ruling Power, we sing,
The King is dead! Long live the King!

Barbed Wire Cuts.


post, horses will continue to
suffer wounds of various sizes,
requiring intelligent treatment.
Do not smear axle grease upon
such wounds and do not stop
bleeding with filthy cobwebs,
which lead to blood poisoning.
Give the wounds immediate at
tention and do not wait to see
how they are going to come out.
They will surely prove trouble
some and leave unsightly blem-
ishes unless promptly treated
Cleanliness is the main object.
Nature heals wounds, but needs
assistance.
All discharges should be kept
washed away and filth infection
should be prevented. Cleanse
the wound at once. Remove
the hair from it's edges as we'll
as all ragged and torn skin and
tissue. Do not stitch where a
joint is involved. Unless COM
plete rest can be obtained the
stitches will rip out and leave
additional scars. In the wash.
ing water mix a disinfectant,
such as carbolic acid or one of
the tar products preparations
at the rate of two teaspoonfuls
to the pint. Use such a wash
daily, then apply a little of the
following lotion frequently
while the wound is left open:
Sugar of lead one ounce, sui
phate of zinc, six drains, car
bolic acid, two drains, with
water one pint. Shake and
label poison.
Another good lotion is made
by mixing together half an
ounce of chloride of zinc, two
ounces of sulptate of zinc and
one dram OF hydrochloric acid
in pint of water. Shake be-
fore using and apply to all
barb wire wounds of large size
where there is likelihood of
sprouting growths usually
termed proud flesh. In most
cases AVOID salves. They are
dirty and collect filth. Use
them only as medium for the
application of such drugs as
iodine and sulphur. to skin
erruptious. For wounds of the
coronet or hoof head use a
powder on cotton to be bandag
ed suug!y in place by means of a
long, four inch muslin bandage.
Use a fresh washed bandage
each time the wound is dressed
daily.
The following is an effective
dressing powder: IodOform
one dram, boracic acid seven
drains, mixed. Use this powder
also on broken knees, punctured
wounds Of the foot, calk wound,
interfering sores and punCtures
of the hook joint.
When necessary to stitch a
wound cleanse it, remove all
foreign bodies, as sand, dirt,
hair or cinders, then dust with
the dry powder, take deep
stitches with braided silk or a
clean cord soaked in carbolic
solution through the lips of the
wound aud cut the cord so as to
leave three inches protrudiug
from each needle puncture. Put
in each stitch in succession and
when all are in place tie the
ends of each firmly across the
wound. Wet the part several
times dailV with a lead lotion
