Democratic Candidates.

A great body of conservative Demo-
craia OF the state are showing unmis-
taxable signs Of revolt against this
combination with the forces Of discon-
tent and disorder. The law and order
sentiment which was already strong
among the conservative Democrats has
recently received an additional Impetus

and Senator Barela. who have Issued
open letters announcing their with
drnwal from the Democratic party on
tho law and order issue. In addition to
this the publication Of the long record
OF outrnRes and murders committed by
the Western Federation Of Miners dur

feet OF strengthening and cryBtallIzing

as the rose. Mr.. l.. II. Taylor. dis
trict engineer for the United States
Reclamation Service for Nevada, has
recently been in Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress of the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
OF which he has Immediate charge.
This project contemplates the utiliz-
alton of the waters OF the Truckee
and Carson rivers for the irrigation of
about 375.000 acres OF sage brush des-
ert in western Nevada. These lands
will furnish homesteads OF about so
acres each for about $500 families. 1t
is expected that with the addition of
the towns and villages that will natu-
rally spring up in the district, the
population of the state will be in
creased In the next few years by at
least 10000 people.
Active construction is now in prog
gress on a main canal about thirty-one
miles long. which is to divert the wat
ers OF Truckee river to a large storage
reservoir on the lower Carson river.
There the waters of the two streams
Will be mingled and impounded, and
thence led out upon the plains in the

the requisite system of distributing
canals are well under way. and the
department will be ready in the
spring to contract for their construc-
ton. This work will be followed by
the erection of dam which will form
the reservoir on the Carson river.
The reservoir will have a total length

This is Miraculous.

Manhattan, -Kans., March 14.-One
of the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of In Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her. she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Brights Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing as II
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was so far
into the chronic stage OF Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could

How is your digestion? Is your
stomach weak? Does It subject you
to inconvenience and distress by day.
and disturb your rest by night? Does
indigestion acquaint you with the hor-
rors of dyspepsia?"
These questions were propounded to
Secretary Taft in the first letter he re-
ceived after entering upon his duties
as head of the War Department. The
questions were clipped from a news
paper advertisement. and beneath
them was the picture of an insomnia
patient.
The following note accompanied the
questions;

The inclosed questions are addressed

Safe on the Plate.

Public school regulations require
that the pupils shall be over the
threshold of the classroom door when
the bell rings at o'clock. or be ac-
counted late. Yesterday morning a
little girl was within a foot or two of
the door to her classroom when the
bell rang At the same instant she
stumbled and fell. Realizing that If
she stopped long enough to pick her
self up she would be late, she threw
herself forward as a baseball player
slides for base, and managed to pro-
Ject her outstretched arms and head
into the classroom. In this position
she looked up at the teacher and said:
I'm in"
The teacher grasped the situation in
a moment, and, without u smile. rem
dered her decision:
"Safe!"
The little girl picked herself up and
went to her accustomed seat, to be
marked early on the records of her
class.-New York Sun.

COMPLETE mAsToDoN.
Body Found on the Yukon With Hair
and Skin Intact.

The complete form OF a mastodon
has been discovered at Hillside. on
Quartz creek, according to q dispatch
received by the Seattle Post-1ntelli-
gencer from Dawson. Y. T. 1t was
imbedded thirty eight feet in the earth
when found. and It necessitated the
use of a steam thawing plant to un-
earth the immense animal.
The hair and skin of the beast are in
perfect state of preservation. al
though the flesh is somewhat decom-
posed and the big tusks, which remain
fastened to the skull. are in good con-
dition. 1t is estimated that the skele-
ton is worth $4,000. as there are but
one or two OF them in existence in as
good condition as this. The nhsto-
don was discovered buried in an old
channel well in the zone of almost per-
petual frost which accounts for its
good preservation.
