MOODY TALKS WITH PRESIDENT
Question of Changing Laws Govern
ing the Prosecution of Crimes
is Considered.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Aug. 2-Attorney
General Moody, who came here yesterday
to visit President Roosevelt. left today for
Washington to give personal attention TO
the Investigations of the Agricultural de-
partment Mr. Moody also discussed with
the president a variety OF other topics The
declination of w. w. Cotton to accept the
appointment Of United States district Judge
for the district of oregon was taken up.
but no agreement was reached as to a
further appointment. Judge Cotton did not
qualify after his appointment, simply indi-
eating to the president that on account of
his private business arrangements he found
himself unable to accept the tender of the
Office.
Mr. Moody said the president and he con.
sidered in a general discussion OF the laws
bearing on prosecutions in United States
courts the necessity for amendments to the
criminal laws of the United States They
agreed, he said that congress ought to
make certain amendments to existing stat
utes, as the law under which the courts are
now operating rendered 1t often difficult 70
reach a man who might be guilty OF wrong
doing As an illustration OF this. Mr.
Moody said It was far more difficult to take
a man from one United States courts juris.
diction into another United States courts
jurisdiction than II is for the state OF Maine
TO get a criminal It wants from the state
OF California.
Among the matters which the president
and Attorney General Moody considered
was the prosecution Of the meat packers
under the indictment in Chicago The prose
cution will be pressed vigorously by the
government.

CATTLEMANS DAY is PASSING
Nebraska Rangers, Says Alliance Man,
VIII soon He Thing of Past,
Because of Uncle sam.

L. +. Lowe. n cattleman OF Alliance, was
in Omaha Tuesday afternon on business
and Incidentally remarked that the days OF
the cattle men in Nebraska were about
over as the government was certainly in
earnest in making the cattlemen take down
their fences which enclose government
lands
"Cattlemen have fenced over a million
acres Of government lands said Mr.
Lowe, but the land is not fit for anything
but grazing. We can't lease the land from
the government and the only excuse there
is for tearing down the fences Is to allow
the settlers to como in and go to farming
There is not one ranChman I'm a hundred
but who will help settler who comes there
to live. What l mean by that is a bona
tide settler. There are lots OF men who
come in there pretending TO be settlers but
who merely want to compel the cattlemen
to give them money to get out. These kind
of people OF course get hard shedding, but
the bona tide settler will have no trouble.
Now II the government persists in making
us take down the fences, and Of course
it will, then the size of the herds will be
reduced to at least one half This because
you see the cattlemen all have wind mills
and by them water their own stock. The
fences protect the water. BY having the
fences a cattleman can round up his cattle
within a couple Of days, while without the
fences It will take him couple OF weeks.
OF course l know the fences have to come,
they are coming down now, but l think
something should be said favorable to the
cattlemen."

PROTEST AGAINST FLUSHING
City Engineer Declares This Mode Of
Cleaning Streets Damages
the Asphalt,

City Engineer Rosewater's protest against
the constant sprinkling of asphalt streets
is as follows:
l deem it my duty to call the attention
OF the council to the damaging results
paved streets We have today about forty
miles of asphalt pavements in the city,
which have cost us over $20O0,000 SO large
an investment ought certainly to warrant
the city authorities In getting the best pos
sible results from It. Asphalt paVements
are simply one form of artificial sand
stone. The cementng material, of which
not much over 10 pei cent Is asphalt has the
remainder composed of sand and limedust.
as evinced by grindstones than when dry.
The impermeable nature of asphalt pave
ments is such that the slightest depression,
even the twentieth of an inch, will hold
water and while in that condition wear
away faster than when dry That class of
pavement in a majority of cities Is cleaned
by sweeping and washed only during in
tervals OF rain.
In the central business section of the
city the paving can be kept clean by daily
hand labor and much money saved by the
increase of wearing capacity than by the
practice of sprtnkling, which only lays the
dust, but does not clean the streets.
therefore urge upon you such action ms
will remedy the evil complained OF and add
longevity to our asphalt paved streets"
The city engineer opposes street flushing
only because It is more expensive than
other forms OF cleaning, costing in Omaha
from $50 to $S5 mile. 1t is against the
continual sprinkling that he is urging an
immediate change, however.

Some Insist the slQughs Are n
BeneRt.

VERMILLION, S. d. Aug 2.-(Special.)
Members OF the county boards Of Yankton
and Clay counties put inla strenuous day
yesterday hearing arguments for and
against the construction of drainage bitches
on the Missouri bottom to carry off surplus
water that may come from overflow or
heavy rains. Many farmers from both sides
of the county line were present, and the
majority registered a kick against the pro-
posed bitches as outlined by the petitions
signed by f. II. Whitaker and others,
Some Of these against the proposition were
of the opinion that the cost of construction
would greatly exceed the benefits to be de-
rived, while others thou the plan not
feasible for the reason Ulat the bitches
could not be built as to drain the bot
tom properly. Some even went so far as
to say that they did not want their land
drained at all as the sloughs when full Of
water were a great benefit to them in dry
years One Yankton county farmer claimed
that in 1894 when most farmers were hard
hit on account of lack OF moisture he raised
fifty bushels of corn per acre and seventeen
bushels of wheat, simply because the cere-
ais took moisture from the sloughs. The
commissioners accepted the petitions and
ordered permanent survey made of the
routes of the proposed bitches. Surveyor
Vinton of Union county will do the work.

AT IT FOR THIRD OF CENTURY
Colonel WeIch Completes Thirty
Second Year as Maker and
Dispenser of weather.

Weather Forecaster Weicn late Tuesday
evening raped of his thirty-second year
as the chief custodian OF the breezes and
billiards. the hot winds and the sand
storms, at all times and on all occasions
keeping in close touch with the almanac
and the goose bones.
Colonel Welch has dispensed weather,
good and bad, in many places, but just
how many the genial barometer Wednes-
day refused to tell, because he was too
busy figuring up Tuesdays rain to look up
the matter, and, besides. there are things
he said which should be forgotten. When
Colonel welch came to Nebraska, in 1851
or thereabouts, people in the western part
of the state knew not what rain was like
except as they heard of It in Missouri from
some OF the immigrants but today he
points with pride to the fact that Sheridan
county last year had as much rain as
Dodge and more, and that people have
been drowned in the open prairie. This
splendid condition Of affairs Colonel welch
modestly admits is due to his impartial
manner OF handling the rain and letting
1t fall on the just and the unjust alike
Easter hats and straw hats, It makes nc
difference to him.
Colonel welch sent his thirty-second year
out with o nice little imitation of a rain
storm. just to see II his hand was still in
allowing 1.5 inches to fall in Omaha with
from one-half to three-fourths OF an incl
over most of the state. while for a mo-
ment he jumped into Iowa and gave tC
the Des Molnes man 12O inches to scatter
over that state, in some portions OF which
two inches fell. In fact, Colonel Welcf
said a right smart lot of rain fell
Colonel Welch is a man who is always
ready to answer a civil question.
You have been in this business so long
how do you like weather." was asked
him.
