Every indication points to a
sufficient quantity of water this
year for irrigation purposes, in
not only the South Platte river
but all other streams heading in
the Rocky mountains. The snow
fall in the mountains has been in
excess this winter of previous
years. 1t has been showing al
most continuously since winter set
in until it is piled up to so great
depth that the season will be
we'll advanced before it is all
melted. Weather reports state
that on Saturday a heavy snow
fell up in the hills, varying from
II inches to 5 feet ut different
points.-Sterling Advocate.

Vernie Twomcv was bitten on
his left hand by P. Petersen's
watch dog last Friday night and
sustained serious and painful
injury. He had been sent to the
store by his father to make a pur-
chase; the dog had just been turn
cd loose for the night, and evil
IDENTITY resented the entrance of
Vernie for he seized his hand and
lacerated the flesh between the
thumb and forefinger. The injury
was given proper medical atten-
ton and is now healing nicely.
MIR. Petersen had the dog killed

We are informed by L. w.

shops ut this place, that the lat
est rumor in reference to the
chunge in division terminals of
the road is to the effect that
freight crews will be changed to
run between Julesburg and La
Sale instead of between Jules
burg and Denver. Such change
would be good thing for Jules
burg rs it would cause more of
the freight men to reside here
and would besides increase the
force OF shop employees at this
place. The people of Julesbnrg
would probably grant unanimous
consent to the railroad company
to make this change.

President Roosevelt and The
Panama Canal.

The people VINO have elected Prosi.
dent Roosevelt by such an overwhelm.
ing majority expect many reforms and
improvements, bat it is doubtful if in
history he will be better known for any
thing than the building OF the Panama
canal. The preliminaries Of that
great work are now at IN end and the
real labor Of digging dirt will be CON-
menced at once. For this advance the
country is largely indebted to the
president. 1t was not an easy or
agreeable task for him 10 disrupt the

have been easier to have allowed the

that great delays were necessary to all
great work. But President Roosevelt
has done nothing Of the kind. With
characteristic force and execution as

he began the effort to change it that
has resulted in the appointment of the
new commissioners. He did not make

Statesmen OF the old laissez faire
school are shocked at the proceeding
but the president is little affected by
their surprise and not at all disposed
to stand still for fear OF stepping on
their toes. He wants the canal dug
now, while he still has the power to

A MENTAL PUZZLE.
Double Consciousness Developed by
an Attack of Illness.

Double Consciousness Developed by
an Attack of Illness.
Speaking of instances of double con-
seriousness, Mental Science notes the
following case:
The patient was a girl, twenty-five
years of age. She suffered from some
affection that may have been menin
gifts, but this is not known positively.
She then developed acute maniacal ex
citation. During this illness the pa
tent presented some remarkable
changes Of personality - such as are
seen in hysteria. The author does not
term the curious manifestations by
this name, but describes some nine or
more different varieties of personality
manifested by the patient that are
quite interesting. Thus the patient had
spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis,
etc. The most interesting of these
manifestations, because the least easy
TO explain, was the patients ability to
draw the full figure of a nurse, etc,
during her spell of blindness. To con-
vince himself that this was the actual
case the dulHoF nelu DOCK between
the patients eyes and the sheet OF
paper on which she was drawing or put
his hands before her eyes while she
was drawing without In any way inter-
fering with her drawing. Her sense of
touch was highly sensitive during that
period; she could detect line drawn
across her drawing paper, dates writ
ten at the top Of her drawing paper,
merely by touching the paper where
the intruding lines had been drawn.
During her normal state the patient
could never draw either before or after
her Illness.

Beginning with 1861 Under Lin
coin and ending with 1875 under
Grant the Republicans were in pre-
ponderance in the House, or fourteen
years. In the first two of those
years the Republicans would not
have had a clean majority if the
Southern States had remained in the
Union. The opposition elements in
the Observation-Disclosures Demo-
Gratis. Breckenridge Democrats, and
Bell Constitutional Unionists-would
have have had eight more votes in
the Senate and twentv-one more in
the House than the Republicans, had
secession been averted and the eleven
Confederate States retained their re-

While it may be true that "Arbor
Day" is not observed in many parts
of the state it is true that in some To-
calities it is quite generally observed.
We do not agree with the Burlington
News that tits an empty humbug,"
or with the Brattleboro Phoenix
that nobody pays attention to it so
far as planting trees is concerned"
We know of several places where the
day was very fttingly observed this
year and il it is ignored in other
places it is because of local indiffer-
ence. There should be created an
interest in this direction in every
town, because in no better way can
we secure the encomiums of future
generations than by following out
the suggestions that our Governors
make in regard. to observing this
day. We believe Vermont is made
all the better by its observance and
it would be a step backward to give
it up. Plant trees, even though we
may get no benefit from them. Those
who come after us Twill rise up and
call us blessed if we do.

ten per cent of the enrolment of
Harvard University, which is called
the rich mans college, are sons of
wage earners, and the woman's
department of the university, Rad
cliffe College. shows a similar per-
centage. Boston College has 34.45
of it's total enrolment included in the
class "wage earners," and Clark
University reports that 27.86 per
