through life in constant whirl of
misery and misfortune, and when
at last at the gates of hell they
are separated, would stand and

because the curtains had fallen
between them and she could go

the paths of CRIME and vice, shame

DIAZ GROWS OLD
In Letting Cares of Govern
ment Fall on Shoulder
of Vice President.

City Of Mexico, Sept, %
10 those having an inside
knowledge Of public affairs in
Mexico it has become more and
more apparent during the past
few months that the burden of
the presidency is being gradu-
ally but unmistakably shifted
from the shoulders Of Porfrio
Diaz to those of Ramon Corral,
the titular vice president of the
republic. Diaz feels the weight
Of his years and the duties of
his high Office have become
burdonsome to him. Moreover
he has been unable to find any
permanent relief from the ply
steal ailments from which he
has suffered for several years.
An announcement Of his resig-
nation Of the presidency at an
early date would cause no sur
prise to those fully acquainted
with the facts.
The constitutional amend
ments adopted several years
ago provide that in the event of
the death, disability OF absence
from the republic of the presi-
dent, the vice president shall
Immediately assume the duties
of the presidency without the
necessity Of taking new oath.
This means that Ramon Corral,
who drafted the law creating the
vice presidency, will be the next
president Of Mexico. In official
circles Corral is already recog-
nized as the real power and
Diaz the shadow. 1t is now
known that for nearly six
months past all the important
duties Of the presidency have
been under the direct and per-
sonal supervision Of the vice
president.
Diaz and Corral have worked
hand and hand for years and il
is believed that the accession o1
the latter to the presidency
would mean a continuation o.
the enlightened and progressive
policy Of his predecessor. Cor
raj made public announcement
Of this fact when, in accepting
the vice presidency, he said:
81 have to declare that if the
popular vote shall favor me
with election [ will have nc
other policy than that Of sec
onding that Of President Diaz.

Plains.

A member Of the faculty of

has devoted the summer to geo.
logical studies in South Dakota,
west Of the Missouri river, Civ
ing special attention to artesian
we'll possibilities in the region

tiers. He finds it entirelyorac-
ticable to secure artesian water
in that vast plains region vt
depths Of from 500 to 9 1000 feet.
The water is cool and refresh
ing and more nearly free from
chemical impurities than the
water in creeks and surface
wells. 1t is a portion Of the
state that will sometimes suffer
from lack Of rainfall and the
farmer with an artesian we'll
will have a certain supply of
water for stock and domestic
uses. With numerous artesian
wells, the character of the old
range country can be complete
ly changed. Sioux Falls Press.
