A German gentleman was one even.

near Imoia when his horse threw him
and b0ited. He picked himself up and
lighted match to see what time 1t

bicycIists hove in sight, and he went
forward, making signs for them to
stop. but the men pedaled furiously

gentleman was reading an account Of
travel In italy when he came across
the following passage:
Zone evening we had an adventure

matter to consider was the feasibility Of suggestions for prevention of the evil. The meeting was entirely a sue cessful one for it evolved the outline of plan and Immediately began nut ting it into operation
 Briefly the plan is to ask the terri tory to make an appropriation for the diversion of the flood waters of Cave Creek, on the ground that it is a ter rltorial matter in more ways than one md directly because the present condi- ton of things leaves the capitol in jeopardy. That of course requires Ie- gislative action but +he board of trade proposes to attend to the preliminar- ies; the gathering of necessary data and the formulation of suggestions on which the legislature may act intelli- gently.
 Engineer H. F. Robinson, with the aid of a government contour map of the valley, explained to the meeting the topography of the country as he knew It up to a few years ago. together with his suggestions as to the method of diyerting the water. Numerous speeches were made by those familiar with the sections under discussion and citizens concerned. both within the city and on the ranches. Judge Street was the author of motion that was sec onded by Sam F. Webb and unanf- mously adopted and that was afterward amended in various ways resulting finally in the selection of a committee of seven, for the purpose of collecting the information necessary for specific action, the committee to report to a meeting to be held one week later. This committee is composed of President J. A. Marshall, Judge Webster Street, F r. Trott, Capt. George D. Christy. Sam F. Webb, H. F. Robinson and w. D. Fulwiler.
 The committee held a meeting inn mediately after the adjournment of the board meeting, and decided to go out to Cave Creek above the Arizona canal In a body on Wednesday, to look over the situation. To prepare the way for the committee, and to inquire into such technical matters as may be necessary Engineers TTott and Robinson will go out today and take a look at the situ- alton from an engineering point of view 1t is not proposed at this time to make other than approximate esti- mates of the cost of whatever enter prise might be deemed best for the time is limited, but a sufficient idea can. be secured for the intelligent ac- tion of the meeting one week hence when it is proposed to outline a bill for presentation in the legislature, and which bill it is proposed the board of trade shall use it's influence in secur- ing the passage of.
 The single note of objection came in from the Glendale representatives who were fully harmonized before the meet ing was over. They say the Cave Creek floods in some years have been their only salvation and tbov do mi want to be deprived of the water if it can be so diverted as to give them the benefit of it without flooding Phoenix

CONTINUED GOOD WORDS
Extracts From Reviews of Thos. E.
 Far;Sh's Book.

Friendly criticism of '.The Gold Hunters of California" by MT Thomas E. Parish continue to be printed bv newspapers throughout the country IL IS seldom that a book is so widely noticed as this has been. The Chicago News says of it: Tn a simple off hand way MT. Parish gives interesting
 notes or men and times, projects which succeeded and enterprises which fail ed Tributes are paid to Mark Tryvsiy, [, John Phoenix Brete Harte and other hunorists and an especially appreci- atlVe one to the memory of General Albert Sidney Johnston whose strone- l influence and cool judgment prevent Ing California from seeding although his heart was with the southern cause which he afterward espoused The es- tablfshment of the Adams and Wells Fargo express companies. the building of the Central Pacific railroad, the dis covery of the famous Comstock lode in 1859 which revolutionized mining theories are points touched upon-all somewhat landmarks to the younger generation-besides a consideration of the circumstances which went to make the success of politicians, land specu- lators and men other than mine own ers'
 The New York Journal-American de- votes nearly a half column to the re- view of the book. It says: MT Far fsh describes the development of gold mining from 1S49 to 1860. In the early days the methods used were extremely primitive, pick, a shovel and a pan for washing gold being the chief euuip- ment of the miner; but later these gave way to complicated machinery requir- Q nf money before mining operations could be begun
 Enormous fortunes were made and lost in the widest kind of speculations in mining properties. Everybody bought stocks, often in mines that did not exist except in the imagination of the promoter. It was a harvest time for the swindler and the gambler Many who made fortunes in mining or in other legitimate enterprises lost all they had accumulated through wild cat investments.
 Perhaps the most interesting pages in MT. Farishs book are those devoted to brief biographies and character sketches of the men who were the leaders in mining, business and in other walks of life. James H. Keene, John W. Mackay James G. Fair, James O'Brien, James G. Flood, George Hearst afterward United States senator from California; J. B. Haggin, these are men who won fortunes in the gold fields and were among the leading citizens of Cal ifornia. The career of each of them reads like a romance"
 Concluding the review. the American Journal says: Altogether, MT. Far ish's book is a valuable contribution to the history of our country at one Of Its most remarkable periods"

FUNNY COMPLAINT.

clubman who had served on the house committee of a yacht club tells of an odd complaint made by mill lionaire member. The member of the house committee kept a copy of the letter of complaint. It read as follows
 "Gentlemen: I have the honor to in form you that I lunched at the club this afternoon, and had as my guests three gentlemen, all we'll known gour- nets. Among the dishes that I ordered an Omelet was served which contained only three flies. As an old member of the club, jealous of its reputation as to generosity of portions, this naturally touched my pride; 1t was, moreover, embarrassing, because, in order to make an equitable division of the om- elet it was necessary either to divide fly-a nice bit of carving as you must concede-or to forego a fly my self. I beg to suggest that in future when an omelet is ordered for four persons it should be served with eith- er-(a) four flies. or Cb) no flies at all."

My DREAM LADY.

Her hair is captive sunbeam's gold. As crowned fair princesses of old; Her eyes are twinkling twin stars
 bright, Drawn from some dream enchanted
 night; Her cheeks are wind-kissed meadows
 where Blossoms many a wild rose fair; Her lips are coral strands, whose sin Is that they hide the pearls within; Her voice is sweetest melody, For she has given her love to me; Her smiles the dawn. herself the sun, For she is sight and life in one.

MEETS DEATH
ON GALL0WS
William Rudolph Expiates His
Crime at Union, No., by
Hanging.
AFTER TWO REPRIEVES
The Murderer of Detective Schumacher
Finally Pays the Penalty..His
Partner Executed Last Year.

Union, No. May S.-William Ru-
dolph was hanged in the Jail yard at
1901 o'clock today.
Story of the Crime.
Union, Mo-, May 8.-The crime for
which William Rudolph was executed
today was the participation with
George Collins, who was hanged last
year, in the killing of Detective
Charles J. Schumacher at Rudolph's
home near Stanton on January 25th,
1903. One month previous the Stan
ton bank was robbed and the robbers
made their escape, firing at citizens
who discovered them at work. Sch,l-
macher traced the men to Rudolph's
home in a dense forest. With posse
he made an attack on the place. The
posse was driven off by Rudolph and
Collins, and Schumacher was killed.
Later the men were captured in Hart
ford, Connecticut. Before his trial
Rudolph escaped. Collins was sent
enced to death and Rudolph was re-
captured and sentenced on the same
day that Collins was hanged. Rudolph
was granted two reprieves and every
effort exhausted to save his neck.

FREIGHT CAR FAMINE.
Santa Fe Finds Difficulty in supply
ine Shippers Demands, Rolling
Stock Being Badly Tied Up.

Denver, May S.-The recent storms
throughout the southwest have caused
no end of inconvenience to both the
Santa Fe and Colorado G Southern
Railways. Perhaps the worst sufferef
was the Santa Fe, which finds it al
most impossible to supply the de-
mands for freight cars from the
south. When the Rio Grande over
flowed it's banks many OF the passen'
ger and freight trains were waylaid
1t was easier to move the passenger
trains than the freights, and it Will
be at least another week before freight
trains will be operating on anything
like the regular schedule again. In
the meantime there Is fear of freight
congestion at many points along the
Santa Fe throughout the south, and
shippers are demanding immediate re.
lief. At the offices of the company In
this city it was stated yesterday that
every effort was being made to sup
ply cars as fast as possible. 1t was ad-
mitted that in some instances shippers
would have to wait The Colorado
& Southern Railroad Company Is in
fairly good shape to handle all its
freight throughout the south. It's
tracks were for the most part not dam
aged by the water. The Santa Fe
announces that two additional trains
will be put on between Denver and
Pueblo and one new train between
Denver and Kansas City. The addi-
tional trains will be in operation
about June 1. Trinidad will be made
temporary freight division point on
the Santa Fe until the congestion OF
freight is relieved.

NEW DEPARTMENT COMMANDER
A Brief Sketch of Jacob Weltmer,
Elected to That Position in the
the New Mexico G. A. r.

Jacob Weltmer, of this city, who
was on Friday last elected command
er of the New Mexico Department of
the Grand Army of the Republic, has
been a resident of this city for thirty
one years and Is one of its best known
and respected citizens and business
men.
Mr.. Weltmer was born near Harris
burg, Pennsylvania in 1874 and at
tended the public schools near his
home and the Millersville Normal
School. He served meritoriously dur
ing the latter part of the Civil War in
the Thirty-sixth Pennsylvania Infan-
try and in the Forty-fourth Wiscon-
sin Infantry and was mustered out
with the rank of company quartermas-
ter sergeant on August II, 1865.
Major William Warner, recently
elected U. S. Senator from Missouri,
was an officer in the Forty-fourth Wis
consn Infantry and Mr.. Weltmer is
very proud of the fact that he served
under the command of so distiD-
guished and respected citizen and
soldier.
In 1874 he came to this city and
opened a stationery and book store
which he has conducted successfully
during the many years he has lived
here and which he now owns. He has
built up fine business and is solid
and valuable citizen.
He has held offices of honor and
trust. He served as postmaster for
four years under the Harrison admin
istration efficiently and satisfactorily

FLOOD DAMAGE is
HARD TO ESTIMATE

Berino, N. NJ, May S.-Flood condi'
tions have been materially improved
by the fall in the river. The damage
is more apparent but still hard to
reckon. All young alfalfa and wheat
as we'll as oats, is in all probability
ruined. Hopes are held that the al
falfa flooded will not be killed, but
the cutting is materially shortened
and indefinitely put off, as the ground
will be slow in drying under the
heavy growth S. G. Kilgore's place
and William Rade's, with the w. s.
Gillian farm, have been added to the
list of those inundated. Probably the
heaviest individual loss is William
Floyer's, as all his land, upwards OF
100 acres, newly sown, is under water
together with ten thousand adobes,
freshly made for new house, which
are all ruined.

ONE FIGHT
IN CHICAGO
Otherwise the Day Has Beer
One Of Quistsst Since the
Strike Began.
VICTORY FOR PRINTERS
In st. Petersburg by Concession o
Observance Of Sundays and Hsli-
days Bombs at LODI.

Chicago, May S.-The first serious
fight in the strike today occurred be-
tween John and Richard Fruen, broth.
ers, and colored man. Both white
men were stabbed in the abdomen.
Their assailant, whose identity is un-
known, escaped. He is believed to be
a strike breaker"
Wagons Making Deliveries.
Chicago, May 8.-TOday was the
quietest since the strike began. There
has been practically no rioting and the
police were called on but once to res
cue non-union men. Employers start
ed to make deliveries on the apparent
theory that the strike was broken.
More than a thousand wagons were
said to be on the streets. Some of
the State Street stores sent out a
normal number for the first time.
Deputy sheriffs and private guards,
many armed with rifles, aided the po'
lice to preserve order.
Demands of Printers Granted.
st. Petersburg, May S.-The print
ers who struck Sunday, April %, have
won a victory in their demands for the
observance of Sundays and holidays
by abstention from work. Only the
Novoe Vremya appeared this morning.
Find Unusually Large Bombs.
Lodz, May S.-The police today dis
covered two bombs in the house of a
workman. The workman, his wife and
child, and four men armed with revol-
vers, were found on the premises and
arrested. The bombs were unusually
large and fully charged with explo-
sives of great force.
