GREAT SHIP CANAL.
To Extend from the Ohio river to Lake
Erie,

Erie.
Washington.-The House on Monday
took up the Dalzell bill to incorporate
the Lake Erie and Ohio River Ship
Canal Company. Mr.. Davidson Of Wis
consin. chairman Of the committee on
railways and canals. explained the bill.
The canal. he said. would cost between
s35. 100000 and $40.000,000. 1t would
extend from Pittsburg to Ashtabula,
Ohio. on Lake Erie, distance OF 100
miles. Forty-six miles from Pittsburg
the Ohio and Beaver rivers would be
canalized. Thirty-one miles would be
over the table lands between the Ohio
river and the lake. On this table land a
lake eight miles long was to be Gre
ated.
This stretch OF thirty-one miles. he
said, was 1927 feet above the level Of
the lake. 1t will require thirty-three
locks with a twenty-foot lift and $40
feet in length. The capitalization had
been fixed at 100000 mile. or to-
tai of $60.O0O,0O0. MIR. Davidson said
there were annually 5O,OOO,000 tons Of
freight. consisting Of iron ore and coal.
going from the lakes to Pittsburg, for
which traffic this canal would compete
with the railroads. After fifty years
the canal could be purchased by the
government.

cHAFFEE COUNTY TRAGEDY.
David Morris Shot and Killed by !. p.
Withrow.

Denver.-A Buena Vista special to
the Republican says: I.P. Withrow
shot and instantly killed David Morris,
section laborer. at Newett. twelve
miles east Of this city, about noon
Monday. Withrow gave himself up to
Justice Breithaupt. his preliminary
hearing was held ut once and the homi-
eide was declared justihable. Sheriff
Ankele with a deputy went to the
scene Monday afternoon.
Mr.. withrow offered no resistance
and was brought here and lodged in
the county jail. Sheriff Ankele brought
the body OF Morris overland in u
wagon.
The cause OF the killing. according
to Withrow. was n spree, lasting
nearly week. during which time.
Withrow says. bad feeling between the
two men steadily increased until
Sunday night when Morris. II Is al
legged. openly stated to others in the
camp that ho would kill Withrow.
The shooting occurred In Withrow's
house. a little three-room cabin. and
was Witnessed by three men. Phil
Hamilton. John Larson and James
Smith. all OF whom were talking to
Morris when the fatal shot was fired.
They are quoted rs saying that the
killing was justified and necessary.
The deputy sheriff says that appear
ances at the scene OF the tragedy do
not bear out this statement.
The dead man was sitting upright In
his chair. with bullet hole from a ~
caliber Winchester through his head.
the only movement made after the
shot was fired being when his head
fell forward ON his chest. The buliec
entered the right eye, passed ont back
of the left ear and was embedded In
the wall.
The movements OF the little group
lust prior to the time the shot was
fired are more or less shrouded IN
mystery, as no one seems to be able
to give a connected account OF what
led up to the shooting.
Withrow's Winchester hung In an
adjoining bedroom over the bed. He
was compelled to leave the room to get
It, and the only shot that was hred, the
ofiicer says, was from the bedroom.
The dead man had not been moved
and sat in the chair when the officers
arrived. He was evidently engaged In
filing his pipe when killed. Tne
deputy says no weapon OF any descrip'
ton was near him. A coroner's IN
quest will be held.

each others defects as with smoky chimney
or any other annoyance. They would confess
to no alienation; they have only got used to
each otherl
Ii is the same getting used that robs life
of its brightness; that makes us blind TO the
stars, and the clouds, and the bright process
sion of the day and year. because we have
seen them so often; that keeps us mostly in q
numb, half-alive state, from which only oc-
casionally are we reused to feel that we are
living in a divine universe and are ourselves
divine.
1t Is SO that love rouses US. showing to man
and woman something God-lfse in each
other, something In another soul worthy TO
live for and too great to die. Then, the eyes
once opened, IL is left to us 70 keep them open.
And in marriage which Is not wholly mis-
take-a marriage in which souls have once
really stood face to face and clasped hands
no other word touches closer than this the
secret OF preserving that high union; that
husband and wife should keep their eyes
open to each other.
A man should evepy day see in his wife the
woman she IS. Whatever purity, sweetness.
womanliness be once saw In her, and thrilled
at the sight Of, whatever fuller and richer
growth the years have brousht--these things
he should see In her continually.

Look for this Rexou Guarantee on each

camera as a detective and spotter of those
addicted to the drink habit.
The same testimony comes from the
army. Sweden was the first country to
put this question on a scientific basis. A
number OF soldiers, all good shots were
told off for the experiments, ordered to
shoot a distance of 200 yards. Next they
were given one and one-half ounces
brandy. These methods were tried I'M
der different conditions and on different
days. Result shown was this: Under al
cohol, thirty per cent less hits in quick
fire, and the men always thought they
were shooting faster; in a sober state
fifty per cent. in favor of direct hits Of the
target. 1t was also proven that heart stroke
and sunstroke prevailed when drink was
allowed to the marching soldier, in a much
greater ratio than when in normal condi-
tions.
II the town, medical fraternity, the
industrial world, and the army, need
it not, it is surely conclusive that the
State of Maine and Hancock county do
not, and must be held down to straight
prohibition. My own conclusion is this 1:
Without temperance, there is no health !;
without virtue, no order; without re-
ligion, no happiness, and the sum of our
being is to live wisely, soberly and right
eousiy.

TUE DoUGHSUr TREE.
OH could find the doughnut tree,
Whose fruit, a sweet repast,
Did oft in childhood's hungry hours
Assist to break fast.
1t grew upon the kitchen hearth,
Within a sesthing pot,
And bore its fruit at sundry times.
All rich and piping hot
Fantastic shape its fruit took Oft,
In twists, and querls, and toys,
And on special days it dropped
Fat, pudgy girls and boys.
With eager haste were quickly seized
Those doughnut boys and girls,
Who found at once a guillotiuc
Between two rows Of pearls.
The fruit, well shaken from the tree,
Was stored within jar,
But youthful nostrils, quick and keen,
Did scent it from afsr,
And to that place what raids were made
Far into darkest night;
Twas but a blissful dream, and then
The jar was empty quite.
oh, could find the doughrut tree,
And see IT as of yore.
I'd seize upon its luscious fruit,
And be child once more.

THE ART or MARRIED LIFR.
Continued

The foe of married happiness is inattention.
The real wrong to the wife, the real failure of
the husband, is when he becomes unconscious
Of what she is doing for him and what she is
in herself. AT first her ministries and her
affection are delightful to him. Then, per-
haps, they become thing of eourse-re-
eeiyed, enjoyed in a fashion, but hardly
thought of.
Sometimes, though not SO frequently, the
wife becomes unthonghtfnl of her husband.
Into most marriages there creeps, on one side
or both, something Of this indifference.
Husband and wife live together in chiefly ex-
ternal relation. He is the bread-winner; she
is the housekeeper. They take each others
good qualities, men wear easy-htting
elothes--without noticing; they put mp with
