SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.

Probably the nearest approach yet made to the elction of United States Senators by direct vote Of the people was the choice by the voters of Ore gon of Bourne for Senator in the gen eral election of Monday last.
 h the southern states the custom is well established of nominating the party candidate for Senator in the party primaries. Oregon is the first state in which the candidate for Sen ator is nominated in the general cleo tion by the same vote which elects state officers and members of the leg islature.
 Barring questions of extraordinary personal fitpess or unfitness in the candidates, the Oregon plan makes the popular vote for Senator as direct as the popular vote for presidential electors in any state is direct for the presidential candidate for whom the successful electoral candidates are bound by unwritten law to give their ballots.
 In Orcson the same vote which has elected a republican majority in the legislature has named the Senatorial candidate for whom every republican member of either house is bound to cast his ballot when the next regular session is convened in January next.
 The Oregon plan, therefore, comes very near meeting the demand of Mis- souri democrats in their Jefferson City convention for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States mak- ing Senators elective by direct vote of the people in every state. And as the Constitution of the United States is not likely to be amended, excep as an incident of some great crisis in our national affairs, the Oregon plan is likely in time to be adopted in Missouri fixed purpose to place the election of Senators above and beyond the selfish intrigues, bargaining and corruption which sway too many weak members cf our state legislatures.
 By direct primaries, binding upon every democratic member of the legis. latures to be chosen this year, the democrats of Tennessee have recently nominated ex-Governor Bob Taylor to be the next Senator from Tennessee, while the democrats of Arkansas in their convention at Hot Springs, have confirmed the primary nomination of Governor .Jef Davis for Senator from Arkansas.
 In each case the nomination is as good as election. In Illinois, however where the primary nomination of can didates for Senator will be only ad visory, though binding, the SenatorshiI will not be decided until the contest between parties is fought out on the election of the legislature in Novem Der.
 Illinois is, therefore, still behind the other states named in it's progress to ward the election of Senators by direci vote In the other states the Senator iaI question is already practically de cided and the people are free to choose the legislature mainly with reference to questions of state policy and ad ministration. In Illinois the Senator ship is likely to be dominant issue in the November state election, for no matter whom the republicans ma, nominate in their primaries, tile demo crats will not let the Senatorship g by defauIt-Republic.

Republican pluralities in Oregon slumped from 43,00O two years ago to about 5000 this year, but some repub- licans are happy because the slump did not go below zero. This kind of patriot will be wanting to celebrate with a torchlight procession when the news comes that Vermont has gone republican again.

DREAM REVEALS HIS NAME.
Man Who Forsets Identity Found to
Be Prosperous Banker.

Sacramento, Cal.-A dream mas
cleared up the mystery of the man
who forgot his identity. Several days
ago well-dressed passenger on d
train from the east visited the police
.tation and requested the aid OF Chlel
Denny toward ascertaining VINO ne
was, where he had come from and
what he was in Sacramento tor oh
all other subjects the man was per-
fectlv rational but he was at an utter
loss to account for his identity or MS
presence here.
Thinking that the mans lapse o.
memory was due to some sudden
shock or to illness, the chief had him
quartered at the county hospital,
where the case ever since has baflied
the physicians. The man, who is OF
middle age and fine physique, seemed
in normal health, but still his memory
on the all-important subject was
blank and his effects offered no cleW.
City Attorney Howe visited the
county hospital and learned from the
strange patient that he had expert
enced a dream the night before in
which he imagined himself the recip-
lent Of letter upon which were the
words Dixon, Coon Rapids, Iowa.
Thinking that the incident might lead
to something, the city attorney looked
up the name in Bradstreet's and found
A. Dixon rated as the president of the
National bank at Coon Rapids, Iowa.
He at once sent telegram making
inquiries about the unknown man and
promptly received a reply asking him
to give Frank E. Dixon the best of
care.
From the message the conclusion is
drawn that Frank E. Dixon is the
mans name and the authorities are
satisfied that the dream will be found
to have lifted the strange mystery
yelling his history.

MARRIED THE SAME MAN TWICE
Wife Finds Husband Is Bigamist, and
Asks to Be Freed from Him.

New Orleans.-The suit filed by
Mrs. Coralie Amelia Bernier in the
New Orleans district court, asking for
the formal annulment Of her marriage
develops the remarkable fact that, al
though she twice married the same
man, she was yet unwedded, Mrs
Bernier married, in 1902, in st. Ber
nard's parish, a man calling himself
Logs NJ. Lemoine. Some years after
the marriage she discovered that this
was an assumed name, and that Le
moine was Louis M. THOMPSON in
reality.
Fearing that the marriage under q
false name might invalidate their mar
riage, she insisted on a second mar
riage under the true name, and this
was soemnized in Vaudeville less
than two months ago. The publica
ton Of the marriage brought ont the
fact that Thompson had one wife n,
ready in Helena, Ark, and the twice
married woman now asks that sh. he

FIND WATER UNDER THE CITY
Many Owners Get Good Supply from
Beneath Buildings in New York.

New York. - The underground
ponds rivuiets and old wells of Man
haitian island have for years had little
realty value. In some instances to
stem the flow of water from suburban
channels has cost real estate opera
tors many thousand dollars. Now
practical use is being made of the
underground water The factory site
or office building plot with a natural
supply of water is considered much
more valuable than property lacking
such a supply, and the well digger
Is busy.
Among the large business con-
Germs which have recently had wells
dug on their premises are Downing &
Lawrence and the American Manufac-
turing company of Brooklyn and Lipp-
mann & Eisman of Manhattan. The
natural supply Of water on the Down
ing & Lawrence property is about 100
gallons minute, on the Lippmann e.
Eisman site 10000 gallons a day. and
at the American manufacturing plant
$50 gallons minute. Artesian well
water is inferior to city water for
boiling use, as it causes a scale to
form more quickly. Nevertheless, it
can be put to many good uses in busi.
ness buildings, greatly reducing wa
ter bills.

CHINA is FIGHTING OPIUM.
Government Seeks to Reduce Impor-
tatons and the Country's Product.

ngton,-China has just re-
vised and consolidated her native
opium taxation. 1t amounts to lis
Pekin taels a picul (about &C cents a
poun6 O. crude opium and double
that amount on the prepared article,
the growers tax being abolished.
According to reports from Pekin the
government is anxious to curtail the
use of opium, but is dependent for
revenue to the extent Of more than
$4000,000 year on the duties paid
on imported opium. She can not, in
the present state of her national
finances, witness without concern the
disappearance of such an important
branch of revenue. The imports of
opium amount to 5000 tons, while the
native article is produced to the ex-
tent of 10000 tons. Moreover, there
is a great development in the use of
morphia. The Japanese ship to China
large quantities of cheap hypodermic
syringes.
The better Chinese are reported to
have a strong feeling against the
enormous extension of the growth of
the poppy throughout the empire. A
Pekin correspondent of the London
Times indicates that China will ask
India to consent to an annual reduc-
ton in the import of opium to China,
which would have the effect of eX-
tinguishing the trade in ten years,
and as an evidence of good faith will
issue an imperial edict condemning
the use of opium and forbidding the
employment in the government serv-
ice of any opium eater and order an
annual reduction in poppy cultivation
leading to its extinction in ten years.

TURN SOIL BY STEAM
ENGINES NOW USED ON PlOWS
IN PARTS OF KANSAS.
As a Result Farmers Are Able to
Plant More Wheat Than They
Can Harvest-Work for Hun
dreds of Strangers.

Kansas City.-The steam plow ha:
become a familiar object in western
Kansas. Managers of the big imple
ment houses here say that about 25C
outfits have been sold in the last l.
months and that about 600 are IL
use on the western and central Kan
sas plains wherever the fields are
large enough and the ground Level
enough to permit their operation.
All through the western portions OF
the wheat belt big traction engines,
with wheel tires nearly a yard wide,
are at work pulling the gang plows
and turning up the soil at the rate OF
so acres a day, with two men working
each outfit These two men, work
ing in the old way, could plow only
about six acres a day, so that the
steam plow has increased the eff
cheney of labor fvefold in this one
character of farm work.
Those outfits cost about $1,500, but
the expense of plowing averages only
about 40 cents an acre, as compared
with an expense of Is cents to $1.5O
an acre when the work was done by
a man with a team. Therefore, a farm
er who owns 1000 acres Of wheat land
can save enough in a few years to pay
for steam plow.
Kansas City dealers say that about
half the steam plows in the west are
owned by large farmers, and the re-
mainder belong to the thrashing ma
chine men who run the plows in the
spring and the late fall when they are
not thrashing grain.
The rush to get the fall blowing fin
ished while the ground is in good con-
lition has prompted some farmers to
run their steam plows at night, with
great glaring headlight streaming
across the fields, as well as in the
daytime
The only objection to the steam
plow is that it enables farmers to
plant more wheat than they can har-
vest. In portions of central and west
ern Kansas, where the farms are
large and the population is compare
lively sparse, favorable fall for
plowing and planting, and steam
blowing outfit at hand result in
such large areas of wheat that when
the harvest season comes the task
of gathering the crop must wait on
the incoming hundreds of strangers
to labor for few weeks in the har-
vest fields.

PHYSICAL Declines.

The symptoms Of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness IS

sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause u
the trouble may be some drain on the

overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
tion due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of

FINDS SHE is NOT A WIFE,
Woman After 10 Years Learns She
Has Not Been Legally Married.

Media, PA jury in court has
awarded to Jane C. Clymer the sum
of $3,75S.75. Her suit was for $4,000
and interest. The case was one OF
the most peculiar ever tried here in
the county.
Levi II. Clymer, now dead, was
married three times. Jane b. CIymer
was his third wife. The second wife
was in court aiding the executor TN
der the will in their protest as 10
the payment of the amount claimed
by the plaintiff. 1t was shown, how.
ever that the plaintiff had lived with
Clymer for 19 years and he thought
that she was his legal wife. A bill
of separation was put in evidence be,
tween the deceased and the second
wife, which was claimed to be a legal
separation or equal to a divorce.
In law, however, the separation did
not amount to a divorce, but the plain.
tiff testified that she had lived with
Clymer for 10 years, believed that she
was his lawful wife, that she had
loaned him $4,000 on property in

during several years illness she had
taken care of him. The jury gave her

MAN WITH TEN CHILDREN.
Rival Candidate Has to Yield to Presi.
dents Choice.

Bloomington, lll.-James M. Court
right, the newly appointed postmas-
ter of Normal, the educational suburb
of this city, is the father of ten chill
dren. His predecessor and rival can
didate for the position, G. S. Neeld,

uous fight for the place, both candi-
dates having a strong backing, Presi-
dent Roosevelt personally selected
Courtright.
Neeld is related to the law partner
OF Vespasian Warner United States
commissioner of pensions, and Sc.

through the influence of Col. Warner.
1t was taken for granted that as Col.
Warner is still friendly to Neeld, the
latter had every likelihood of reap
pointment.

when the announcement was made
that Courtright had been chosen, and
it was not generally known that he
was an aspirant.
