American Missionary Decorated.

The American Board has just re-
ceived word that the King of England
has conferred the Kaiser-i-Hind deco
ration upon one of the missionaries in
the Bombay presidency, India, Rev.
Richard Windsor. This decoration is
given only upon the recommendation
Of the officials of the Indian govern
ment and is always given for distin-
guished service in India. Mr.. Wind
sor was born in England in 1885, but
came to America in his childhood. He
was appointed missionary Of the
American board and went to the Bonn
bay presidency. He was one of the
pjoneers in that presidency in intro
ducing Industrial training as a means
of educating the youth of that country.

Surrounded by his family, Gen. Lew
Wallace, author Of "BenHur, died at
his home at Charlottesville, Ind, Feb
ruary Is.
The deathbed scene was one Of
calmness Beside his physician, only
his wife, his son, Henry Wallace of
Indianapolis, were present. Two
grandchildren had been taken to the
sick chamber to bid their beloved
grandfather the last good-by The
scene was singularly pathetic. In the
summer time they were the compan-
ions of the general and took almost
daily excursions with him to the coun-
try place, water Babble."
AS they left the room, not knowing
the significance of this farewell, they
waved him a goodby as they left the
bedside, attired in their night clothes.
When told by his physician that he
was dying Gen. Wallace was calm. His
last words were expressions of cheer
to his grief stricken family. Bidding
them farewell, he said:
81 am ready to meet my Maker"
After this he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness.
The direct cause of the generals
death was exhaustion, resulting from
starvation. For weeks Gen. Wallace
has been unable to take and assimi-
late food of any kind. His stomach
refused to perform its functions. All
nourishment was given hypodermi-
cally.
Has Had Varied Career.
Gen. Lew Wallace was rs years old,
author of "BenHur," 1.-THE Fair Cod
and "The Prince of India" gallant
soldier in the Mexican and civil wars,
a member of the diplomatic corps of
| two nations, and a charming American
gentleman.
But his fame will rest upon book

Wallace are inseparable. The first is
known in almost every American
household, and with it is connected
that of its author.

Gen. Wallace once had accompanied
scme women from Baltimore to Wash
ington to see President Lincoln.
When they entered the room occupied
by Lincoln Wallace noticed an I'M
usual expression of despair on the
countenance of the president.
On inquiry the president informed
Wallace that he was not ill, but con-
fronted by a serious situation of the
utmost Importance to the American
government
On further solicitation Of Wallace
President Lincoln said:
General, l have just thirty min
utes to wait for a boat to take me to
Harrison's landing. My mission there
is to persuade Mcclellan not to sur
render the union army"
Gen. Wallace had never announced
this fact until many years later.

in his message by asking the legisa-

that the Standard company be "throt-

Simple Device Saves Strength.

A woman who knows how to save
her strength in her daily work has
invented these simple devices, which
she uses on ironing days. She has
made a little floor pad three inches
thick, big enough to stand comfort
ably upon. 1t is used when she stands
in front of the ironing board, with the
result that she is far less tired at the
end of the day. Another labor-saving
device is a little board, which can be
held on the lap, so that she can sit
down while she is ironing all the
small pieces, napkins, collars, stock
ings and handkerchiefs.

Guthrie, Okla, April 14.-R. X. Kel-

proposition to the Chamber of Com
merce of Oklahoma City regarding q
right of way into that city. The route
has been covered by survey the entire

NO PRELIMINARY HEARING.
Frederick Mills Will be Held to the
Sierra County Grand Jury on the
Charge Of Killing D. A. Saunders.

Special to the New Mexican.
Kingston, N. NJ, April 14-The
preliminary examination of Freder
lex Mills for the killing of D.
A. Saunders on the Rio Las An
imas, seventeen miles north of Kings
ton, on Sunday, March 10, did not
come UP before. Justice of the Peace
Smith at Hillsboro this week, as an.
ticipated. H. A. Wolford, attorney for
Mills, waived examination, but asked
that the witnesses of the Territory be
placed under bond to appear before
the Sierra County grand Jury on Mon
day. May 1st. The court ordered that
all the witnesses give bond in the sum
Of 500 each which order was COM
piled with. A large contingent Of wit
nesses was present from Kingston but
all were able to secure bond and were
allowed to return home.
A week would have been consumed
in hearing the case, had it come to
trial, as about seventy-f1ve witnesses
would have had to be examined, and
it was thought that owing to the
nearness of the May term Of the Sier-
ra County district court, it was best
to waive examination and allow the
case to come to trial as soon as pos
sible. Mills, in the meantime, is held
without bail and is confined in the
Sierra County jail at Hillsboro. There
is no division Of opinion at Kingston
over the outcome Of the case, everyone
believing that Mills is innocent, as
he was working for Peter Jones, south
of Kingston, on the Sunday that Saun.
ders was murdered, and it is consider
ed an impossibility for him to have
committed the deed.

AS A WITNESS
Tsstifiss as an Irrigation Expert
In tho Kansas.CoIorado
Controversy!
THE WATER QUESTION
Is Becoming Of More Importance Every
Day, But Government Ownership
Would Be No Benefit.

Denver, April IA Commissioner
Granville, H. Richardson, of Roswell
has this week been hearing evidence
at Denver In the Kansas Colorado wa.
ter suit. Professor Elwood Mead
head of the irrigation division of the
department of agriculture, was in Den
yer as an expert and witness. He
does not believe that the government
Of the United States should assume
control of the waters in the arid re
gions, even if the supreme court de
cides in favor of the appropriation OF
waters as against the old common law
of riparian rights. Mr.. Mead gave an
interesting statement of the growing
value of water. There were no laws
regulating the sale and ownership of
water until within the last fifty years,
as 1t had always been treated as one
of the elements like air. 1t is one of
the greatest questions now confronting
New York City, yet little attention was
paid to the subject until recent years
With the greater use of water have
come increased disputes of various
character
Discussing the Arkansas Valley he
said that there are 1887 decreed ditch
es In Colorado and several hundred not
yet decreed. Approximately there are
100000 acres of land actually under
irrigation. The value of the land is
81 to So an acre, without water. 1t
varies from $50 to 5000 an acre In the
valley with the use of water.
Professor Mead also took up the
question of the control Of water and
the questions arising thereby. He
stated that the development has been
in the interest Of the people. and that
the best system is that which comes
home to the people. 1t might have
been better for the government TO
take the water and supervise its dis
tribution had the start been made that
way originally, but it has not been.
He then told of the Colorado system
Of distribution and of the district wa
ter associations. The best results can
not be secured, he believes. by the
government stepping in and taking it
away from the interested persons. He
quoted the presidents message in 1901
and said that he thought this was also
Mr.. Roosevelt's idea of the matter.
Mr.. Mead pointed out the increasing
difficulties that would arise as the
years went by for the government to
take charge Of the distribution.
Prof. Mead declared that riparian
rights have been a phase in the devel.
opment of water usage, but they now
hamper the development. He present

effect of irrigation and the rise and fall

ANOTHER RICHMOND
IN THE FIELD.
Ex-Adjutant General Sherman Bell, of
Colorado, a Candidate For Govern
or Of Sunshine Territory.

The Governorship of New Mexico
is plum which is evidently being Gov
eted by Colorado politicians. Some
months ago the report arose that State
Senator Casimiro Barela, of Trinidad
wanted the position and this report is
still current. Then came the news
that Ex-Governor J. H. Peabody was
casting longing glances towards the
Executive Chamber in the Territorial
Capitol building in this city and would
like to sign himself as Governor of this
grand old Territory. Last comes the
report that Ex-Adjutant General Sher-
man Bell of the Centennial State wants
to sit in the executive chair and be
hailed as the successor Of Axtell, Lew
Wallace, Sheldon, Ross, Prince, Thorn
ton and Otero The Trinidad Adver-
tiser is sponsor of the following item
concerning Gen. Bells candidacy:
"Now a new warrior has entered the
political lists and SHE'D his castor into
the arena. where the grand prize will
be the governorship of the territory of
New Mexico, If reports may be be.
lieved.
"A warrior bold is he indeed,
Sherman Bell-none other.
Sherman Bell, the hero of the bat
tie of Mucho Hablar in the state capt.
tol at Denver is said to be the man
who dares oppose the aspirations of
the late Mr.. Peabody and Casimiro
Barela. He wants to sit in that old
prehistoric ruin at Santa Fe and hurl
forth his denunciations therefrom.
"This, at least, is the tale that the
brides passing over San Antonio dur
ing the recent runion of the Rough
Riders heard.
"a personal acquaintance Of Mr..
Bell who passed through Trinidad re-
turning from the reunion yesterday
was responsible for the story. He said
that it was whispered about San An
tonic that the erstwhile trooper and
adjutant general might get the covet-
ed place under Mr.. Roosevelt.
'It has been rumored in Colorado
right along that Bell was booked for
some kind of place under his admins
tration but 1T was thought that 1t
would be in the foreign service. Some
said that he was slated to get way
up in the Philippines, while others
the governorship of Porto
Rico. Also did others cruelty hint that
the head situation on the Island of
Guam would be good place for him,
butsno one ever guessed at New Mex
icc.
IF there proves to be any truth in
the rumor 1t will doubtless be sad
blow to the aspirations of Bells for
mer commander-in-chief, Mr.. Pea
