A Famous Aqueduct.

One Of the most imposing architec-
tural relics of western Europe is the
auueduct Of Nismes, in southern
France. After the lapse Of sixteen
centuries this colossal monument still
spans the valley, joining hill to hill in
nearly perfect state. The highest
range of arches carries small canal
just wide enough for man to creep
through and still retaining a thick
lining of Roman cement. The height
Of the structure is 1873 feet and the
length of the highest arcade S72 feet.
It's use was to convey to the city Of
Nismes the water Of two springs twe2-

When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion

as many as three hours at stretch"
You were under medical treatment,
Of course?'
Yes, when I became so bad that
had to give up my housework, in May of
1908, | was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head.
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state Of
hopelessness?
"In July of 1908 I had very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told of remark
able cures effected by remedy for tho
blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning of my return to
health. Myappetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy?"
For two months only. AT the end
of that time had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends saw
that l am looking better than I have
done for the Pc st fifteen years.

uphoIds Colorado. Claim.

Denver, July 20.-Attorneys for
Colorado in the litigation over the
waters in the Arkansas river. now in
progress between this state and Kan
sas, claim that the whole question has
been virtually settled by decision
handed down by the United States
Supreme Court.
This Is case carried on appeal from
Utah and involves, points similar to
those raised in the Kansas-Colorado
water suit The decision was ren.
dered by Justice Peckham, and that
portion of 1t which sustains Colorado's
contention reads:
1.-THE rights of riparian owner in
by his land are not the same in the
arid and mountainous states of the
West that they are in the states Of
the East. These rights have been
altered by many of the western states
by their constitutions and laws, be-
cause Of the totally different circum'
stances in which their inhabitants are
placed from those that exist in the
states Of the East, and such altera-
tions have been made for the very
purpose of thereby contributing to the
arising from mining and the cultiva-
tion OF the otherwise valueless soil
by means of irrigation.
This court must recognize the diff
ference of climate and soil which rem
ders necessary these different laws in
the states SO situated"

Colorado Needs Rain.

Denver, July 19.-According to the
weekly crop bulletin of the Climate
and Crop Service Weather Bureau for
the Colorado section, the greater part
of the state is in need of rain at pres
ent. The recent rainfall has been too
local and the precipitation too light to
be of much benefit.
The bulletin says: The mean tenn
perature has been about normal, the
opening days having been rather cool,
and the closing days very warm. The
rainfall has been local, with amounts
too small to be of material benefit;
rain is now needed over the greater
portion of the state, notably in the
southern and western parts. Fall wheat,
rye and barley are being harvested,
with about average yields. Spring
wheat and oats are turning. Corn is in
good condition. Early potatoes are
being marketed; late paintings are
good, except in a few localities. The
crop of alfalfa is generally in stack,
condition and yield being good; the
second crop is making satisfactory
progress. Except in districts af-
fected by drought, pastures are good.
The prospects for fruit continue very
promising; small fruits are plentiful.
and the quality is good. The soil is
being prepared for fall wheat in the
Arkansas valley, and plowing is under
way in San Luis park.

STOLEN MILLIONS,
Rich Cripple Greek Mines Robbed by
Ore Thieves.

Denver, July ia Cripple Creek
special to the Denver News says:
Since the raid was made Saturday
night on the assay Offices of the dis
trict the mine owners have secured
definite and absolute information that
the high grading" which has been in
progress several months, has been at
the rate of s1.000,000 year. 1t is no
guess work when it is said that much
of high grade is being stolen annually
from the mines of the Cripple Creek
district.
One of the offices that was raided
gave up secrets, for the assayer kept
such a splendid set of looks that
everything was easily figured. This
particular mans books showed that in
the last six months he had paid out
the sum of $4,000 to the mine men
that brought him stolen ore.
1t is a well known fact that the high
grader rarely gives the men who steal
the ore over half its value and in a
great many cases less. 1t is safe to
say that this fellows operations netted
him from $4,000 to $4,000 a month,
and as there are from eight to ten
Offices doing a very heavy business,
the mine owners have conservatively
estimated that the gang is getting
close to s1,0OOOOO worth of ore a
year.
So bold was one of the assayers that
he smelted and cyanided the ore and
sold the tailings right in the district.
At the present time one Of the sam
piers has a big bunch of tailings that
is worth considerable money.
So far only three of the men ar
rested have been released on bonds.
A. E. Boyce, Goldiield saloonkeeper.
accused of keeping fence" and who
was arrested last night, was released
on a $4,000 bond to-day by Justice of
the Peace Patrick.
C. H. Clark, also of Goldfield, has
been released on bonds of $4,000.
Joseph Grobecker has been released
on bonds of $4,000. All the rest about
nine or ten in number. are still in the

LOCO Weed Concession.

Denver, July 20.-Cattlemen who
have leases on the state land in the
range districts lying to the east of
Denver have been calling on the State
Land Board for months for a decrease
in their rentals on account of the de-
creased grazing value of the lands
through the spread of loco weed upon
1t. Yesterday the Land Board gave
a hearing to the leasers and after a
careful consideration of the question,
agreed to make a new lease for the
lands between the state and the cat
tlemen.
There will be a new contract made
for ten years. This will provide that
the cowmen shall make an effort to
kill off the loco weed and to partially
reimburse them for this expense. the
state is to reduce the rental on the
lands for the first five years of the
lease from its present price of cents
to 21s cents an acre: after the first
five years the price shall be restored
to cents an acre.
The leasers on these terms are Rob.
ert Ling, 1900 acres; Weaver &
Bond. 10000; Harrison, Douglas &
Douglas. 24,000. and William Holmes
of Buttes, 10000. The board was EN-.
phatic in its declaration that no other
changes would be made and no more
land leased at less than the minimum
of cents an acre. The loco problem
is becoming a serious one and this
lease was made to the men named as
an experiment. to see whether they
can, as they claim. kill out the pest.
The lands lie in Ell Paso, Kit Carson,
Lincoln and Cheyenne counties.

DEATH BY AER0PLANE
FELL THREE THOUSAND FEET
Terrible Scene at Santa Clara, Califor-
nia-DanieI MaIoney Killed by
Collapse of Airshp.

San Jose, Cal July 19.-With women
fainting and men sobbing, Daniel Ma
loney. who has made numerous public
ascensions with Professor Montgom-
ery's aeroplane. fell 5000 feet to his
depth at Santa Clara yesterday morn
ing.
Professor Montgomery had an
nounced an ascension from the grounds
of Santa Clara College in honor of the
League of the Cross Cadets, who are
holding their annual encampment in
that town. The announcement at
tracted probably 1000 people, who
watched with interest the hugh ma
chine as it shot up from the college
garden attached to huge balloon.
AT a height of 1000 feet Maloney
cut loose and began maneuvering the
aeroplane. He circled gracefully about
for some minutes, having the machine
apparently under perfect control. Then
he essayed a deep dip.
Suddenly the machine swerved, hes
itated and turned completely over. 1t
righted itself, sank down a consider
able distaISe and turned over again.
Maloney was clinging desperately to
his seat and evidently endeavoring to
regain his control, but all his efforts
were in vain.
Again the aeroplane turned in the
air and this time the wings came to-
gether and the man and machine
plunged straight downward, while the
Mortified spectators gazed helplessly
upward. Amid shrieks and groans,
many people rushed to the scene, while
others turned away weeping.
A number of cadets first reached the
unconscious man and picking him up,
they conveyed him to the college hos
pital. his head was fractured and
blood was flowing from his ears and
mouth. He expired within short time.
The aeroplane, which was constructed
of the toughest oak procurable, was
ground into small fragments.

Chinese Commission.

Pekin, July 19.-An edict was issued
yesterday ordering the dispatch
abroad OF four missions to study for
eign political methods. The missions
will be headed, respectively, by Prince
Tsaitche, who is of royal blood; Tai
Tung Chic, second minister of finance;
Shu SHE Chang. chief assistant to
yuan Shat Kai, viceroy of Chilli prov
ince, and Touan Fang, governor of the
Human province.
The edict, which is vaguely worded,
orders the envoys to visit all countries
in the East and West and study for
eign methods generally. None of the
men named speak any foreign Ian
guage. The four missions will depart
separately on dates yet undecided.
The idea is generally regarded as
step in the right direction, though it
may prove futile.

CHARITY CONFERENCE
WORK OF PORTLAND MEETING
Care Of Children and Detectives Dis
cussed-Care of the Conva-
Iescent Insane.

Portland, Ore. July 19.-At the gen.
eral session yesterday of the Confer
ence on Charities and Corrections,
detectives" and children" were the
principal topics discussed. AS on
yesterday, each paper or report was
discussed from every standpoint, the
delegates taking SO active an interest
as to make the discussions general in
character, rather than confined to the
few set speeches OF the day.
The topic detectives" was intro
duced by DR.. H. A Tomlinson of st.
Peter. Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on detectives. He discussed
at length the Importance of investigat-
ing the physical condition of detec.
tives as basis for their rational care
and treatment DR.. Tomlinson said, in
part:
Provision should be made for the
thorough investigation of physical con-
ditions associated with mental defects
and the pedagogic aspect of the work
should be supplementary rather than
dominant, as it is now.
That these same methods should
apply to the work in our hospitals for
the insane ought to be obvious.
Much has been said in the direction
of providing room and agreeable sur
roundings for the chronic, quiet and
well behaved patient; but practically
nothing is said about, or thought of the
proper provision for the disturbed pa
tient, either acute or chronic. The diff
.culties that have arisen and still per-
sist, are due to the retention of the
asylum regime and the effort to make
it applicable to the performance of
hospital work"
DR.. Dewey spoke on the assistance
of destitute, convalescent and recov-
cred patients discharged from hospitals
for insane, saying, in part:
THE objects which suitable assist
.ance and after care would secure
would be first the permanent restora-
.tion of many cases that relapse, and
for years or lifetime.
"Second-The return to useful ac-
tivity of many who remain perma-
nently in the asylum who could care
for themselves if they could get a
start"
DR.. Walter Lindley, of Los Angeles,
California, president of the Whittier
State School of California, followed
with paper on THE Evils of Insti-
tutional Childhood" He said:
THE best the state can do to help
the children is to foster the home and
the home spirit There should be Or
ganized assistance provided for indi-
gent widows left with children, by cash
allowance, If necessary, so that they
could keep their children at home
while small and helpless"
DR.. Lindley showed how California
and New York were far behind many
other states in their effort to place
children in homes.
