Lula Ween.s, negroes, and this morning it was stated that the woman had died from the injuries she had re- ceived in the difflculty with der hus. hand.
 It seems that late yesterday after noon on the Robinson place, about four
 miles west of this city. the woman and her husband had d quarrel The hus- band accused the wife of preparing to run away with another negro man named Dan Gibson who lives in a house close to them. He told his wife that he would fix her so she could not get away from him and go with the other man. With that remark he pulled from his pocket a small pocket knife and made jab at the woman's throat with 1t.
 The bla 1e entered the woman's throat and very nearly severed the left jugu- lar vein. After sticking the woman with the knife and seeing the flow of blood, Weems attempted to escape, but he was follows1 by some of his neigh bors and caught near the scene of the cutting scraps ar placed under arrest by Justice of tho Peace B. J. Gayle, v-ho lives close to the place where the cut ting took place. Weems was brought to the city and placed in the Dallas County jail. where he will walt a pre- liminacy trial

Received Light Fine.

Two cases against a negro named Zack Smith were heard in police court this morning. The cases were tried by Councilman Meyer and both of the charges against the negro were for obtaining money under false pretenses. Smith is the negro who about a month ago was employed at the Peacock Iron Works for three days and who since then has been systematically working the time clock of the concern and go- ing there each Saturday and collect ing money for work that he had not done. r~.
 W. R. Peacock of the Peacock Iron Works was the main witness in the case. He exhibited the time sheets from the clock and told how the ne- gro had been caught up with. The negro denied having worked the clock and said that he had worked every day that he had registered. but no one abotu the shops had seen him at work On one Saturday he had beat the Pea cock Iron Works out of $2 by this method and one the following Satur- day s4.50. Acting Mayor Meyer fined him according to the amount of money that he had received. In the first case Smith was fined $10 or twenty days on the streets and In the second case $25 or fifty days.

HE NEWS OF SELMA
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, July 26.
 Acting Mayor Peacock's explanation to the City Council yesterday afternoon at the special meeting of that body Of the action that had been taken by the Board of Health, of which the proceed ings were printed in this mornings Ad vertiser. caused some comment on the streets today. It seems to be the im- precision today that the members of the Board are at loggerheads with each other. but that Is not true. as every member of that important body is now working conscientiously for the well fare and health of Selma.
 It is admitted that the quarantine as put on by the Board of Health was ille- gal until 1t was ratified at the meeting of that body, which was held Monday night. It was learned today that the meeting of the Board of Health which was held Monday night was a large one and that nearly every member of that body was present and that the meeting was what could be termed a warm one.
 At this meeting of the Board ot Health the members of the Committee on Public Health were called to account for their action in the matter of estab- fishing a quarantine without such ac- tion having been ratified by the Board. The members of that committee, 1t is understood. cited some laws of the As- sociation which governed their actions, but other members of the Board cited other laws which clearly showed them their mistake.
 The Committee on Public Health then fuliy explained its actions and, after considerable discussion. on motion of the President. pr. E. B. Ward. it is un- derstood that he action of the Health Committee was ratified by the Board Of Health and that the quarantine now established is tn every way lawful and leg Il. 1t seemed to have been the opinion of ma1y today that the mem- bers of the Health Committee had over ridden the President of the Association in the matter of establishing a quaran- tine, but the impression seems to be erroneous from what could be learned today and 1t is now understood that the members of the Board are working in harmony with each other.

In Police Court.


 There were only five cases heard in police court this morning when Act ing Mayor w. R. Peacock took the bench. Most of the cases were for minor offenses and only one heavy fine was assessed by him.
 Eugene Benson and his wife. Mary Benson, had very likely scrap at their home on Jones Street Monday morn ing Mary threw butcher knife at her husband. which struck him in the arm and caused blood to flow. They had a dispute about their child and had agreed to separate when the fight took place. It was judged a family difficulty and Eugene was fined $5, and his wife, Mary, was fined $10
 Emma Watson and Willie May were up charged with an assault and bat tery. When the case was ended fine of $5 was assessed against each.
 Henry Williams next answered to the call of Chief Walters and plead not guilty to tho charge of petit lar ceny. The evidence against him proved to the contrary and fine of $45 or ninety days on the streets was as- sessed agsinst him.
 B. E. Timberlake. white man with one arm in a sling, answered to the charge of being drunk and disorderly. The case against him was dismissed

Sent Out of the City.

John Merkle, who arrived in this city last Sunday from New Orleans. was this morning sent out of the city by tho Board of Health. That body thought that MT Merkle had too recently been in the infected district to be allowed to stay in this city. so this morning he was put on the o'clock train TOT Montgomery and very probably when he reached that city he was sent on to Atlanta.
 MT Merkle claims that he had not been in New Orleans any length Of time but that for sometime he has been in CovinKton. La, and that he

Refuse To Dip

December / was the time set by
the state veterinary surgeon when
all sheep in the state were to have
been dipped this fall Several OF
the largest sheei ners in Wash
ington and Canyon counties, who
protested to the state veterinary
surgeon a short time ago against
dipping this fall. have maintained
their opposition and have brought
their sheep in from the ranges
without dipping.
There are probably eight or 10
sheepowners in those counties that
have not dipped their focks, and
they represent large number of
sheep. By passing the time limit
set by the state veterinary surgeon
it is probable that they do not now
intend to dip their sheep without
being forced to do so, which will
mean that the dipping law will be
fought by them. That S the ru-
NOR that is in circulation and un-
doubtedly is well founded.
1t is said by nearly every sheep
man that this fall has been an ex-
ceptionally bad fall for dipping
sheep and much injury is done
their bands when it is done, more
than is generally the case, but 9S4
per cent. of the sheep OF the state
have been dipped this fall.-States-

south side will occure after the
completion of the canal system, a
bout the first OF April next. and SC
soon as as the work on the north
shall have been sufficiently adj
vaneed there will be an opening
there.
The details of the organization
of the company have not been an
nounced, but it is stated the man
agement of the great enterprise Will
be in local hands.
Involved in the arrangements is
an eStention OF the contract with
the Twin Falls Investment COM
pany under which the latter will
have entire control of the sale of
lands an the north side. 1t will
handle the new town sites on that
side, of which there will no doubt
be several. and will be the sole
agent of the land company for the
sale of the lands and water rights.
Because OF one feature this re-
organization of the canal company
will be regretted by the public
that is the retirement of Mr.. Buhl
from the enterprise. He has shown
an interest in the welfare of the
settlers that is probably unparall-
eled, making every possible pro-
VISION for the promotion OF their
interests. No doubt the new man
agement will be equally liberal,
making that entire consolidation
tract the model farming communl-
ty of the country. 1t is to be antici-
pated the broad policy of improve
ments heretofore pursued will be
continued, the lands thus being
made increasingly attractive to set
tiers, and the community continu-
ing to advance in the same marvel
Gus manner that has so far char
acterized its progress.
The projects is all under the
provisions of the Carey UcI. The
lands on the north side as well as
those on the south side have been
segregated at the request of the
state for reclamation by this COM
pany under contract with the state.

Canal to be Started ooon.
A deal has Just been consummat-
cd in Chicago under which bond
issue will be made by the Twin
Falls Land & Water company OF
about s6,000,000 for the purpose OF
covering the expenditures already
made, completing the nouth side
work, and constructing the north
side system. The issue of bonds ls
underwritten by the Trowbrldge d
Niver bond firm. On behalf OF the
company the negotiations have
been carried on by f. H, Buhl, OF
Sharon, Pa, S. B. Miner of Salt
Lake and I. B. Perrine OF Bull
Lakes.
This transaction involves a re-
organization OF the Twin Falls
company. Mr.. Buhl and Peter
Kimberly entered into a CONTRACT
with the company originally to
furnish the money needed for the
work. When Mr.. Kimberly died
st became impractieable for his es-
tate to continue to furnish funds
for the enterprise owing to the fact
that it was passing through admin
istration. The entire burden then
rested upon Mr.. Buhl.
The latter since the death Of his
associate, has desired to draw in,
contracting his operations, and
these conditions have led to the
newly announced arrangement.
Mr.. Bull and the Kimberly estate
will go out, their present bonds
being cared for under the new is
sue. MI MiIaer gfa has always
been a stockholder remains. With
him are Mr. Perrine and some
other local men, including Waite T
G. Filler, who mas b cen the general
manager.
The north side system will re-
claim 10000 acres OF land and
will cost between $2,000,0O0 and
$2,5U0,000. It embraces some long
fume work and one or more reser-
voirs of very grert capacity
The land to be covered lies south,
east and west Of Shoshone, being a
fertile plain chat is not excelled in

The south side project when
completed, win cover 240;OO0 acres
of arabic land, making grand to-
tai of 100000 acres Of land under
the two systems which can be cul-
tivated.
Construction Of the work on the
north side is now assured, and
work will be started on them as
soon as practicable. With the
funds available The operations will
be rushed forward rapidly. The

What is thought to have been a scheme
to waylay Chief of Police Patrick Brown
of Barre last Saturday night was
fooled by Mrs. Brown. She and her
daughter were going home on Prospect
street, on the outskirts OF that city, at
eleven o'clock and noticed man follow
ing them. When she reached the house
she locked the doors, put out the lights
and watched the man prowl around the
house while and then go down beside
the road and hide in the bushes. Mrs
Brown telephoned the chief at the
station and told where the man was
hiding.
The chief and Officer Faulkner went
to the place and after throwing lights on
the bushes without seeing anything fired
into them. A man ran out and escaped
but it was dark so they could get no dis
cription of the man. The chief has no
clue who the man can be but it he gener.
ally thought to be an anarchist planning

NOW is THE Time TO Get WELL
Nature Helps Mi-o-na Cure Stomach Troubles
in Short Order.

The summer months are best in the
whole year for the treatment and cure
of stomach tronbles. The outdoor life,
with natural exercise, the fruit and
berries which are so freely eaten, all help
to restore healthy action to the digestive
organs.
Now when Nature will aid Mi-o-na in
curing indigestion and giving strength
to the stomach and whole digestive
system, is the best time to use this re-
markable remedy.
Taken before each meal, Mi-o-na will
soothe and heal the inflamed and irritated
lining of the stomach and solar-plexus,
and strengthen the nerves of the digestive
tract. Used at any time of the year, it
cures all diseases of the stomach, except
