too severe to mete out as a proper pun

those who think that the railroads
have been of a very material benefit
to the country and that while they
should be regulated and shorn of their
undoubted powers to injure the ship

pend upon them, they should still be
accorded hearing and reasonable
treatment.
The Presidents attitude on the rail-
road question is specific. He favors
the enlargement of the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission so
as to enable that body to fix railroad

Commission to be excessive, at the

Whether or not there is to be the

fact that many laws have been started
rejoicing on their initial courses at

AS all the money which is being ex-
pended in the construction of these
irrigation works is to be paid back to
the Government by the settlers taking
the land, and to go into the "reclama-
tlon fund.-" the work of future con-
struction will proceed as fast as the re-
payments are made from the projects
now under construction. Possibly also,
when the first few completed irrigation
projects shall have thoroughly demon
strated themselves to be the successful
experiments which they are proving,
Congress will not be averse to making
a direct appropriation as loan to the
reclamation fund"
A direct Congressional appropriation
for such loan is not believed to be
at all beyond the bounds of accom-
plishment some time in the future
after, as stated, the systems now under
construction shall have demonstrated
themselves to be the successes predict
ed. The present figure above noted of
$37,000,000 for irrigation would have
been looked upon as the dream of an
impractical enthusiast at the time that
the irrigation bill was being discussed
in Congress, less than four years ago.
The year before the passage of the act
the securing of hundred million dol
lar appropriation would have been
believed to be as likely a figure as five
million, to say nothing of thirty-seven

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.
The Turning Point of the Civil War
"A Remarkable Guide.9

There is a guide at Gettysburg, Pa,
Charles D. Sheads, to be found at the
Gettysburg Hotel, who is a genius.
While not himself soldier, perhaps
few if any of the actual participants
of that three days terrible fight have
tithe of his knowledge of the details.
He has been a resident of the town
since 1855. and was conductor Of the
Gettysburg & Hanover Railroad until
it was burned by the Confederates
June 26, 1868.
Upon the memorable first day of July,
with many other citizens, he went out
to the right Of the Union army, where
the battle had already commenced. A
member of the Twelfth Illinois cavalry
fired the first shot, and squadron of
that regiment continued skirmishing

under Doubleday fell back through the
town and fortified the heights beyond.
Every house, public and private, had
become hospital, and Sheads found
his little home filled with dead and
dying of both armies. Upon the second
and third day of the battle he was car
ing for the wounded and shortly after
commenced again running his train.
For the past nine years he has EN-
ployed his entire time as battlefield

Many people have found out the truth about old
fashioned coffee
They have overcome disease caused by it.
The plan was easy and sure.
Quit Coffee and use Postum
Proof with ones self is stronger than any theory.
The Postum army grows by hundreds of thousands
yearly.
The o1d-fashioned Coffee Magnates are now derid-
ing Postum through the papers.
Because their pocketbooks are hurt, they would
drive the people back to the old coffee slavery.
One coffee prevarcator says: "It (Posturn) has
lately been exposed and found to contain excess
of very ordinary coffee
Another that "it (Postum) is made from small
amount of parched peas, beans, wheat dried sweet
potatoes, and paste of wheat middlings."

same time he has stated that it is of
course his desire that nothing should
be done to injure railroad properties
or drive the companies out of business.
The railroads themselves are not
pleased with this plan of regulation
While many of them may not have
done, in past times, the best possible
by the public, they fear that to give an
absolute rate-making power to politi-
cal commission, such as the Interstate
Commerce Commission, appointed by a
Chief Executive, would be not only an
unconstitutional method of regulation
but would place in that body a power.

might practically put them, the rail-
roads, out of business. The provision
that they would have recourse to the
courts after a rate had been fixed by
the Commission and put into effect
would help them but little since their
entire schedule would be changed and
the damage done, before the courts
could be brought to reach a decision.
The other point of view is that with
the knowledge that their rates will be
carefully scrutinized and contested.
they will be extremely careful about
'the making or enforcing of any ex-

the benefit of Wyoming, but for Ne
braska as well. The Secretary has set
aside $2,250,000 for the Shoshone
River, Wyoming, project and 1880, 900
for the Pathfinder project on North
Platte River, to be partially expended
for the benefit of Nebraska. Thus
about Is per cent. of the entire re-
clamation fund will be laid out in Wy
Oming, although she has contributed
only about 4 per cent. of the fund.
Scenes along the Platte and the Sho-
shone canyon are among the widest
and most picturesque in America.
Second to Wyoming comes the terri
tory of Arizona, with the great Salt
River project at an estimated cost of
about four million dollars, requiring
upwards of per cent. of the entire
reclamation fund, although Arizona
has contributed less than 1 per cent.
1t is stated by the engineers that the
opportunities for water storage in Ari-
zona are. next to Wyoming, the best
in the arid West. while the soil of that
territory is not only extremely fertile
and lying at a moderate altitude. but
the climate is semi-tropical and under

Government on the Yellowstone.

water, none of the embarrassing COM
plications of vested water rights ex-

on the Milk River. The funds allotted
to Montana for the Huntley. Lower,
Yellowstone and Milk River projects
amount to over three million dollars,
or nearly nine per cent. of the fund,
which is in excess of the amount con-
tributed by Montana.
The fourth State in order Of benefits
Is Nevada, contributing the least
money to the fund but probably most
needing the benefits. 1t was, in fact,
through the dire wants of this State
that the law received its inception, be-
ing first known as the Newlands bill,

it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach and bowels

WHY HUSBANDS RUN AWAY

A woman WHO has made deep study
of the problems Of home life, investi-
gated 574 cases of wife desertion with
the object of finding out what led to
the trouble. ~
She discovered that lack of money
had generally more to do with such de-
sertions than disagreement. The man
who has an established business, for
instance, very rarely abandons it, how.
ever harassed he may be by his wife.
Mothers-in-law are not so often the
cause Of dissension between man and
wife as. might be supposed. In only
twenty-nine Of the 574 cases inquired
into had the wife's mother joined the
family circle.
OF the STA deserted wives, only TWEEN
ty were childless, =103 had one child,
154 had two children and 125 had
three. The bigger the family the
smaller is the likelihood that the father
will desert it. Of the 574 runaway hus-
bands only two had eleven children.
The majority of assertions occur be-
tween the third and fifth years of mar
5ried life. A couple who live together
for five years are probably proof, there
fore, against all temptations to part.
5Intemperancee in wives drove forty
three of the 574 husbands from home.
One left because his wife spoke so
slowly that she made him nervous! One
hundred disappeared just before or just
after the birth of a child.
