It Has Withstood the Vicissitudes Of
Over Twenty Centuries.
The Pantheon is the most interesting
Of all the interesting places OF Rome.
1t was used for its present purpose as
place of religious worship before the
foundation of the Coliseum were laid.
Its huge doors have opened to admit
the great ones Of the earth. from Au-
gustus Caesar to Napoleon. an asser!
ton that will scarcely be disputed.
1t stands in the very heart Of old
Rome, and the vicissitudes which have
befallen the Eternal City during the
1900 years Of its existence have left
1t practically unchanged. The gilded
bronze that lined its roof has been car
ried of to decorate" st. Peters,

beholder with dlspleased amazement.
Its tiles Of bronze and gold were re-
moved to Constantinople 1900 years

mighty walls yet stand. firm as ever,

One hundred feet across, a hundred

COMPROMISE REACHED BY OP.
POSING Factions.
By Amendments Agreed Upon Wat
er Rights In Yakima and kitti-
ed From AdjudiCati According
to Terms of Proposed Measure.

Olympia, Feb. 3.--The representa-.
tives that we're at swords points on the
features Of the irrigation code have
reached an agreement that will result
in the preparation of a satisfactory ir-
rigation bill.
Tho irrigation code was prepared in
the first place at the suggestion of rep
resentatives of the federal government,
who asserted that there could be no
government work III this state until the
laws were more satisfactory on irriga-
ton matters and on the code as pre-
pared by the irrigation commission ap.
pointed by Gov. Mcbride, on the points
Of giving the government authority to
construct and maintain storage reser-
voirs; to turn water into the water
courses of the state and control the
water thus added to the natural sup.
to cross with its bitches and fumes
farm lands and exercise the rights of
eminent domain, and to eliminate to a
degree the doctrine Of riparian rights
now existing in this state, all interests
appeared to agree. The main objection
raised to the code submitted was the
section which in effect provided that
upon the government filing its survey
maps of proposed irrigation works,
such filing shall be considered in the
light of an action at law brought
against all claimants of water rights in
the streams and districts affected by
the plats.
Yakima County Objects.
The object of this provision is to ad-
judicate all existing water rights to
the end that it can be determined Just
what waters are now unappropriated.
The great objection to this provision
came from the thickly settled irriga-
ton districts of Yakima and Kittitas
counties. To adjudicate the rights in
this district would result in 1000 de-
PENDANTS being brought into court, &C.
cording to the statement of Ira p. En-
glehart before the commission. The
people of these two districts claim to
have adjudicated their rights among
themselves and that it would be an IN
justice to them to cloud their titles in
which thy have in some instances re-
manned undisturbed for forty years.
Preliminary to the meeting Edward
Whitson, Walter N. Granger and rep
resentatives of the Northern Pacific
and other irrigation projects in the
Yakima valley met T. A. Noble, the
government engineer, and Mr.. Ross,
representing the governments interests
in Idaho, and the outline of a substi-
tute bill or section was agreed to that
settles this controversy.
In effect the understanding reached
is that inasmuch as in the two valleys
mentioned the available irrigs BILE lands
are not of sufficient extent to justify
the government in starting irrigation
works therein, that portion of the state
be Omitted from the operations Of the
bill in the matter of adjudicating wa.
ter rights. 1t is admitted that over
the sparsely settled portions Of the
state the adjudication feature should
prevail.

JACKIE Sled.

JACKIE Sled.
Into a little brown bank, all sum-

penny after another until now the
bank would not hold another penny.

said again and again.
He thought of snowshoes and skates,
books and kites. but his mamma said
perhaps there were pennies enough to
buy sled.
Bring your bank and the little
screw-driver and we will open it and
count the pennies" said mamma ono
day.
Jack brought the bank. and when
his mamma turned the little screws
and the roof came off Jack poured the
shiny pennies down into her apron.
There seemed more than he could
count, so his mamma helped him

it was; and then they came to the
toy store. They looked at boys sleds

sleds. and then Jack spied a red sled

was just the right size. So the man
tied a rope on to 1t and Jack poured

Roosevelt First Fiqure.

Berlin, August 29.-Japan has won a great moral victory Russia a great dip- lomatic one, and President Roosevelt be- come the first figure in international statesmanship, that is what Berlin thinks of the result of the Portsmouth confer ence.
 The foreign office, where the Associated Press brought the first announcement and the summary of the conditions agreed upon thirty minutes before they were known elsewhere in Germany, says unre- servedly that without the Presidents per sonal exertions, supported by his unique position and the power of the United States, peace would not have been at tained, and that Germany and the whole world will benefit by the statesmanship shown by the Washington government. The foreign office acknowledges the gem erosity and modification of Japan and the steadfast spirit of the Russian gov ernment
 Astonishment at the result was felt by the foreign office, as it was every where else that the Associated Press made inquiries. Certainly it was the first exclamation of one of Russia's principal bankers who was expecting different outcome. That Russia would not have to pay any indemnity was at first scarcely believable. The Berlin stock exchange had been preparing for news of rupture of the negotiations. and for consequent disorder in the market.

News Received in London.

London, August 29.-G:57 D. m.)-The announcement that the Portsmouth con- ference had concluded peace was received In London just in time for brief bulletins to be printed in the afternoon papers. The Associated Press conveyed the first information to the foreign office where Secretary Harrington, representing For eign Secretary Lansdowne. expressed pro- found astonishment and said this was the first intmation the government has re- eeived. In fact it had not been informed from any official source that Japan in- tended to make such wholesale conces- sions.
 Sir Fries first expression, after he had been handed the dispatch by a represen- tative of the Associated Press was
 ''It is simply extraordinary" The foreign office, according to Sir Erie had no idea that Japan intended to yield on all points.
 To the Associated Press. however, it was well known in official circles here that Japan was so anxious to make a good impression upon the world that she was ready to make extraordinary con- sessions.
 Sir Eric Harrington also informed the Associated Press that the Anglo Japanese treaty was released by the announcement ference but that the terms would not be given out till the government had been officially notified of the result of the peace conference.
 The Associated Press also conveyed the first information to Lord Lansdowne who was at his country seat in Ireland, and to the other cabinet members. who are absent in different parts of the United Kingdom and on the continent.

NEGRO GIRL TRIES
 ID POISON BABY Had Spoonful of CarboIic Acid
 at ChiId'S Lips SHE WAS INTERRUPTED Bottle Dropped to Floor and Attracted Attention Just In Time to Save
 Infant of pr. John A.
 Rice.
SHE WAS INTERRUPTED

Montgomery August 29.-(Special)-The dropping of bottle of carbolic acid in the hands of negro nurse girl, bent on murder, at Gainesville, Ga, Saturday. saved the life of the infant of pr. John A. Rice of this city. She had a spoonful of the liquid at the lips of the child when in some way the bottle, which she held in her other hand, fell to the floor. This attracted attention of parties near the window and the spoon was hastily withdrawn.
 A later attempt to kill the child was discovered Sunday, carbolic acid being found in the medicine prescribed the little fellow. This was brought about by finding the nitre coloring in the drug.
 The lips of the child are badly burned where the acid came in contact with them as the negro girl withdrew the spoon. The girl has not been arrested for some reason. Dr. Rice believes because of a lack of official energy.
 Dr. and Mrs. Rice have been at Gaines vile several days, having the child treat ed at a sanitarium. It has been in bad health for some time and often so i'll as to cause despair of recovery at all It is not known whether the nurse Is local girl or one taken from Montgomery.
 pr. Rice is the pastor of the Court Street Methodist church of this city, and one of the leading men of the whole de- nomination. The Age-Herald correspond ent received the following telegram from him at noon today:
 Gainesville, Ga, August %.
 Baby is decidedly better. The girl tried Saturday to give a teaspoonful of carbolic acid but was interrupted, when the spoon was on the lips of the child by the bottle falling, attracting the attention of friend on the piazza.
 'The acid was put in three bottles of medicine Sunday, but was detected by the coloring of nitre.
 'The negro was arrested but released by the police. Nothing is being done by the authorities"
