A DEAD ONE
Con,inued from psssi

,Iue of all of which has grown to them l.y the settlement and improvement ot tl,e country. We believe that all of ti,rse things should be considered in determining the compensation these people should receive for the risks they took and services they rendered in the work of conquering the former desert, now known as the Imperial Valley
 This matter should not be dismissed, however, without calling attention to e palpable words of caution" printed nn page 2 of the paper in question. In ,lis cffusion, Mr. Paulin's editor un- (. .yers some matters of much moment L. the stockholders of Water Company Nn. |.
 After shedding much ink in all attack nu the people he calls "radicals,' and a-cribng all kinds o' evil intentions to r.irm. and prophesying most d'rrfnlly regarding what might happen should ,li,. actual residents in Water Company N. elect a Board of Directors from

Mc<im for the directorate nf Water Co npanv No. 1 and advises their hench- ,..u to cumulate their votes on these three men.
 This removes all question as to N ether the California Development Cunuany is endeavoring to control lm- p.rial Water Company No. l. It also makes perfectly plain through whom they hope to exercise control. This also still further classities the "c"nserv- a,iyes," and places them where they h lnnp-as the henchmen of the Cali fornia Development Company. Messrs. Gleason, Edgar and Mckim are lauded bv Mir. Paulin's editor, because they  are conservatives, therefore, they are ,h,. kind of men the California Develop m,nr Company use in it's control of the Imperial Water Companies.
 Stockholders of Water Company No l. BEWARE how you cast your votes. The continuance of the California De- vulpment Company control of your Water Company will jeopardize govern nent ownership, because 1t will strengthen the California Development Company in its demand for an rxhorbitant price for its works, and that is liable tn cause the government ,o refuse to further consider the matter of helping people who would not help themselves.
 Follow the example so nobly set by inc sturdy farmers of Water Company No. !. and out upon the California Development Company domination oi Water Company No. 1. The California development Company has plenty to dc without interfering with the affairs ol our Water Con. panies.

CHRISTMAS AND HIS CURES,
Citizens Of Grafton Can Vouch for
Them.

GRAFTON, n. D.. Sept. 12.-Rev. w.
2. CArisman, through his power of di-
zine healing, has made many remark
able cures here. The first cure which
attracted general attention was that Of
the complete restoration of sight to Mr..
Olson, an old man who had been blind
for years, and who used to walk about
with a cane.
Another case of blindness was that
of a girl 9 years old and born blind,
whose home is at Hensel, N. D. She
was taken to the healer and after re-
ceiving one treatment, partly regained
her right. Last week she came for an
other treatment and now is able to dis
tinguish colors.
surprisingly large number of Grip
pies sought relief, many being cases
that had been given up as incurable
by the best medical authority
A most remarkable cure was that Of
Mrs. Frank Fairfield Of Cavalier, VINO
five years ago dislocated her ankle,
ever since having suffered much pain
and being unable to use her foot. All
that could be done to alleviate her suf-
fering had been done and her pnysi-
clan advised her to undergo an opera
ion. Hearing of Rev. Mr.. Christmas
and his wonderful power, she came and
received the treatment and then, with
out the help of her crutches, walked to
the station a distance of six blocks.
After returning home she continued to
! improve and. feeling greatly encour-
aged decided to visit the healer again
for further treatment. She now walks
without crutches and has no sensation
of pain or stiffness in her ankle and
foot.
Many other authentic cases could be
cited, but the above will give a good
idea of this mans wonderful power.
Rev. Mr.. Christmas visited Grafton
last spring, having been called here to
heal Mrs. r. Barr, who had been con-
gned to ner bed for several months
with so-called incurable rheumatic
trouble. Mrs. Barr received one treat
ment improving Immediately, and to-
LAY rejoices in complete restoration to
health.
Rev. Mr.. Christmas gives literal in
depreciation to the Bible, and contends
that he has the gift of divine healing.
He believes that the age of miracles
has not passed. that it should be the
duty Of the clergy not only to visit, but
also to heal the sick, for the power of
healing was given to the church, and
if the church had exercised it it would
not nave been taken from the church.
Teh healer is an impressive and
forcible speaker, and can hold the rapt
attention of his audience. He i'm
presses all who come in contact with
him as a sincere, conscientious Chris
tan who is trying to do all he can for
the benefit of mankind, administering
to the soul as we'll as to the body. He
asks no fee for his treatments. leaving
the matter of compensation entirely tc
the patient.
In his stay here of thirty days he
devoted twenty hours each day to heal
ing and treated between 10000 and 12,-
900 pedsons, some coming from as far
south as Texas, others from the Pacific
coast and hundreds from neighboring
states. Many are reported cured and
many others received much benefit.

ARRA I.ANKrnN

Hartford May IS, Arba Lankton is dead. After an illness of a little more than a week with pleuro-pneumonia the end came about 7:3O Tuesday even ing, at his home, No. 2 Marsh court. Mir. Lankton was one of Hartford's well-known characters and had been a familiar figure about the streets. half a century. He was founder, president, treasurer and secretary of Arba Lank- tons Total Abstinence and Anti-To- bacco society and had carried on it's work single-handed thirty years. It is believed that his last illness dated from week ago Sunday, when he took cold while speaking bareheaded in front of the City hall He was consci- ous to the end and ready to go, his on ly worry being for the continuation of his life-work.
 Arba Lankton was born in this city, November g, 1885, son of Thomas Lankton, a candy maker. When ' years of age he was left partially deaf by an attack of scarlet fever. As a youth he attended and was graduated from Wilbraham academy. When a young man he was converted at a camp meeting in East Grandby and ever after was zealous in work for good. His energies throughout life were devoted to combating the evils of strong drink and back in the eos he published and sold two books. ''The Reformed Drunkard'' and Thoughts on Religion and Temperance" In 1872, for few months, he published Lank- B, A 1r Jtc Arcf ntIf-d meeting was held in 1856 and these were kept up until his death. For years MT. Lankton had sold popcorn and some home remidies of his own manufacture.
 l Arba Lankton's Total Abstinence and Anti-Tobacco society was organiz- ed, September 29, 1876, with the motto: The Sword of the Lord and of Lank- ton." This society was the desire of 1 his heart. He continued steadily in it's work, seeing encouragement in that which would have caused others to despair. It was a society largely in name only, but MT. Lankton had se- cured thousands of signatures to his pledge during the time. For years he held meetings in a small building, cor ner of State and Commerce streets; and ] had also held Sunday meetings at the Valley railroad station and on Central row near the City hall. These meet ings began at 5 o'clock with the ring ing of an old handbell and the lecture was invariably illustrated with large chart of the human anatomy on which
 to point out the evils worked by drink MT. Lankton issued a report of his
 work yearly and always managed to end the year with one dollar in the
 treasury. He always wore a blue and i white ribbon in his buttonhole.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Subject to Considerable Further Liqui- datfon. s..e


 Subject to Considerable Further Lfqui-
 x datfon. s.e : ..,
 New York, May 19.-The stock market was subjected to considerable further liquidation to-day, but it showed evil dence of relief from the process and of fered some effective resistance to the depression. In the course of the de- clines the low prices reached in many cases were below those touched on the violent decline in the latter part of April. In no case was there a great extension of the loss beyond that point, and a large proportion of stocks, were held above it. The arrest of liquidation during the course of to-day proved very encouraging to the professional ele- ment. The early liquidation was large and quite urgent, and that for foreign account made up an important element in the markets weakness. It is sup- posed that the extension of sensational advertising methods followed in a re- cent campaign against stock prices in this country to the columns of foreign advertising mediums helps explain the foreign selling and some special pres sure upon the market, attributed to a Boston origin, goes to the same source for explanation. Yesterdays violent declines had the natural effect of including calls for ad- ditional margins and collateral and the resulting effect of considerable orders to sell out. The first hour proved the most active of the day, The sharp break in the wheat market gave rise to the surn1ise that some of yesterdays alarm over the crops may have been unfounded or premature. This was Q factor in steadying the market for stocks. There WAS disposition, too, to revise yesterdays estimates of the sig nificance of the withdrawal of the liar riman representatives from the board of directors in the Northern Pacific. More impression was caused by the fact, which was already known yester- day, indeed, that the Hartman stock holdings had been voted for the new directors. 7"
 There were evidences of renewed | weakness from time to time, but good support was encountered. There was some disposition late in the day to dis count a poor bank statement for to- | morrow. The persistent weakness of | the United States Steel stocks impaired the influence of the support in the rest of the market, and their decline to the lowest of the day made the closing | weak.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $2,370,000.
 l United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COLORADO CONCERNS.

Routt county, Colorado, contains
within its boundaries 72,77O head 9:
cattle, valued at $S17,643. In this re-
spect 1t leads all the counties in the
state.
From 35.00O.0oo to 5o,ooo,Oo more
tons Of freight will be shipped into
Denver this year than last, say the
general freight agents, who also add
that last year was considered the bar
ner year in the railroad history of the
town.
Owners Of 100000 acres of dry
lands in eastern Colorado and western
Colorado have formed the Colorado
Association for Scientific Farming, to
spread the knowledge of the Cambeli
system of dry farming to the world
and to- induce the settlement OF the
western plains.
Following the success which has at
tended the feeding of field peas to
lambs in the San Luis valley, hundreds
of farmers who have made fortunes III
the process are now trying the same
food on cattle, with equally good sue
cess. More than 100000 lambs are be-
ing fattened there this year, and it is
believed that in two years more the
number Of cattle fattened per season
will exceed that number.

corselet Skirt.

The thin sister is again deferred to in
the form taken on by the new tightness
of fashion, just as she has been by her
former "dippy" and blouse effects. The
corselet skirt, which comes as welcome
change, is a step toward returning to the
cline" heretofore obscured, but it is q
step only, as it is cut at present SO as to
stop short after revealing hips and waist
line. To-day, however, the thin woman
with her small waist and moderate hips,
can appear at her best in the corselet
skirt, while her too thin arms and Shout.
ders are pretty decorated and fluffed
out in any style she plcases, for the point
about this skirt is the contrast from the
bust downward and from the bust up
ward, unless the corselet skirt be shown
on a severe tailor model. Even then it is
generally completed by little grace.
fully cut bolero. It is a fashion which
looks equally we'll for the simplest Of
morning frocks and for the fullest dress

large but shapely figure. but must be
passed over by the woman who tends to
spread out about the hips.
