Jefferson City, Jan. 20.-It was
just forty-two years this winter that the
last deadlock in the election of a
United States senator took place in
Missouri and as in the present
situation, the candidates-for there
were two senators to be elected
were Republicans. But that deadlock
had so many points coincident with
the present situation as to make it
point of general conversation among
those who took part in public affairs
nearly half a century ago.
At that time John L. Bittinger and
five other members held the key to
situation. Now it is exactly the same,
as Major Bittinger again holds the
key to the situation. He has with him
the same number of votes that he had.
forty-two years ago. Then the major
occupied the same rooms at the Nc
Carly house that he does to-day. In
that room he and his five friends met
in caucus-the same number that met
there when it was decided to stick to
Kerens. The same wood, stove
furnished heat then and the same
servant, a young negro girl then at
tended his wants as she does now, a
woman more than sixty years old.

SITUATION UNCHANGED
Today's Ballot In Missouri Shows. No
Change.

Jefferson City, Jan. 23.-Today's
ballot for Senator resulted; Neid-
ringhaus 80, Cockrell 70, Kerens 9,
Pettijohn l.
The gathering of republicans here
under the call of state chairman
Boutwell, resulted in an attendance
far below expectations. Representa-
tive Conklin in the joint session made
a speech objecting to the present
federal Office holders.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 20.-The
jury in the case of Martin Speyer, the
circus rider who cut the throat of his
little son while the latter was sleeping
by his side, this morning brought in a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
The jury was out but shortj time.
This verdict carries with it the pen
atty of death on the gallows. Speyer
committed the awful deed after he
had been arrested on the charge Of
maltreating little girl of which crime
the murdered boy was an eye witness.
Speyer formerly lived at White Wight
Texas. He pleaded insanity as his
defense.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Opinions of France and Germany on
Result of Russian Horror.

Berlin, Jan. 23.-Herr Reussner,
the celebrated Russian authority to-
day said: 81 am convinced that a
systematic rebellion will ensue, and
expect the executive committee of the
revolutionary league to arm the
populace. 1t is certain that large
section of the army will join the
rebels. Many regiments, especially
in ST. Petersburg, are honeycombed
with sedition. Many officers are dis
satisfied. The Cars fate may be
that of Alexander of Servia."
CAR IS AN ExECUrIoNER
Paris, Jan. 23.-The friendship OF
France for Russia does not, prevent
the newspapers generally from censur'
ing the Gar. ssThe Gar is no longer
the father of the people," says the
Petit Republique, editorially, "He is
now their executioner.''

Washington, D. C., Jan. 20-Sena-
tor Reed Smoo: very Unexpectedly
took the stand in his own behalf this
morning. He testified that he was
born in Salt Lake in 1862. Was the
son of a plural wife of Abraham
Smoot. Was married to Alpha Ed.
ers in the temple of Logan, and has
no other wife. He took the endow.
ment ceremony at the age of eighteen
at his fathers request, and never
took it since. He could not, if he
would. give the details of this cere
mony. He also denied that there
was anything in the endowment cere
mony or oaths about vengeance. He
became an apostle of the church II
1900, but took no oath as such. He
further said: s'When I became Uni
ted States senator there was no men
tai reservation, and there has beer
nothing in the past to hamper my
work here"

enc state of affairs to continue long.
TOTAL CASUALTIES SEVEN THOUSAND.
The government issued statement
at noon today, saying that there were
rs killed and 233 wounded. This
estimate is ridiculed on all sides.
The lowest estimate is 200 dead and
1000 wounded. One. police official
is reported to have placed the casual
ties at seven thousand killed and
wounded. The government state
ment is addressed to the public opin-
ion of foreign countries. 1t places
lhe blame upon the workingmen for
tina shedding of blood, and says the
government took repressive measures
because the strike was caused by IN
surrectionary doctrines.
The officials this morning believed
the uprising quelled, and an easier
feeling prevailed.
Troops removed the barbados
from the streets early today, but later
the municipal building in the second
district was demolished by the people,
while the strikers have issued a pro-
nunciamento that they will fight till
the last drop of blood has been shed.
Clashes with the military are reported
in all sections today.
MARTIAL LAW IN MOSCOW.
The government has seized all
telegraphic lines, and consequently
news of the uprising is not known in
many parts of the interior. Martial
law has been declared in Moscow.
Towards noon today the people OF
that city began gathering in the pub

Flood Possibilities

Some interesting facts and calcula- tions were developed in conversation with Yuma citizen who has spent years in the study of the river. The fall of the river to the Gulf from Yuma is 13O feet. Salton lies 260 feet below sea level; so the fall to Salton would be 390 feet. This is such a greatly increas- ed fall that the New river channel would cut out very deep. Probably this cutting process would continue until the river at Yuma would be twenty feet or more below it's present level. This might make it impossible to construct the Laguna dam without sinking much deeper than is at present intended. It might also weaken and destroy the Southern Pacific bridge at Yuma. It's effect upon the present irri gating canals at Yuma is obvious. It is likely that the valley below Yuma would never again overflow and no levees would be needed. The SaItOn sea would require SeNerai years. to III mp, perhaps ten, even with the entire flow of the Colorado emptying there. Before this sea would fill, the use of water for irrigation along the Colorado could be 50 greatly increased that Im- perial and the land south from that town could be saved. That is, the Salton would only be used to receive waste water from the Colorado, the main flow being used in irrigation, and seepage and evaporation would keep the sea 'n narrow bounds-Yuma Enterprise.

FILED ON RIVERS FLssW
J. B. LippincOtt Completes Govern
 ment'S Title to Water

J. E. Lippincott, supervising engineer of the Geological Survey, acting under authority of the Secretary of tlie In- terior, las filed in the office of the County Recorder location notice by which is claimed, on behalf of the United States government, all unaPpro- priated water of the Colorado river, both surface and underfow, to the ex tent of 5000 second feet. The notice of location is copy of tlie original posted at the damsite.
 In the words of the document the locator "hereby declares that the United States government intends to and will build and maintain at this point ou the Colorado river, dam, to be known as the Laguna dam, and that the United States government intends to and will construct and maintain a reservoir to extend from the said LagCna dam and cover nineteen sections, which are named in the location notice, and the United States intends to and will con- struct and maintain within said Yuma country canal and system of canals extending from the point of diversion on the left bank of the Colorado river immediately above the said Laguna dam to the international boundary between the United. States and Mex ico."
 The notice goes on to state that water will be diverted bv means of the dam and conveyed through canals, fumes and pipes onto the land. The main canal on the Arizona side of the river will be 100 feet wide on the bottom and ten feet deep, or of such dimensions as will give equivalent capacity.-Yuma Sun.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
 Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to exceed ten percent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living ex- pense for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often a few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy It costs but few cents. and a bottle of 1t in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.
