The Woeful Reflections Of a Withered
DySpeptic.

No substitute for good nature has
yet been found. Smiles take root in
the stomach. With out good digestion
there never can be very much sun
chime, for the very simple reason that
the stomach and the brain are twins,
and what affects one invariably affects
the other. The adage that the best
road to a persons heart is via the
stomach, still hold good. --
Gorged grub and pappy pie always
breed gloom and sleepless nights.
They also breed dyspepsia-quick

Frontenac Finds the Demand fol-
Hydrants Growing Rapidly

Frontenac, Nov. 20.-It has been
lately an impossibility for the plumbers
here to fill the demand for MIGRANTS
and at present the records of the city
show that in the last three months 100
hydrants have been installed, and the
number will exceed 200 when those
ordered are furnished the patrons
Since the city has shown a desire to
use the water from the city's enter
prise, it has been decided to extend the
mains and at least one-half mile Of
new pipe will be put in of the regular
size and several of the shorter and less
important streets will also be piped
with smaller pipe.

Got Fifteen Ducks i'm Two Shots.

John Hodapp, a First ward German
resident, and Sam Lowrey, colored,
also of the First ward, are two of the
most persistent hunters in Leaven-
worth. Hardly a day that looks like
hunting would be good finds them in
town; they go out on the river hunting
ducks or to the woods seeking for any
thing that is game. Yesterday Hodapp
made a shot which he claims is a rec
ord breaker for this portion of the
country when he, with two shots.
brought down fifteen ducks of flock in
which there were between Is and 100.

Placer Company Asks Damages From

Denver.-Involving questions thai
are of importance to mining men in
Colorado and elsewhere, d suit has
been instituted in the United States
Circuit Court by Gustave A. Schwab
of New York, trustee of the Keystone
Hydraulic Mining Company, against
the Smuggler-U nion, the Tomboy and
the Liberty Bell companies of San
Miguel county. Schwab seeks an in
junction restraining the defendants
from dumping tailings from their mills
into the north fork of the San Miguel
river to the entire use of whose water
the plaintiff claims right for the com
pany which he represents. The debris,
1t is alleged, is carried by the stream
TO the Keystone placer claims and de-
stroys the entire value of the water
right and machinery of the company
to an amount not less than $500, 900
According to the complaint, the
claims mentioned were originally
owned by the Keystone Hydraulic
Company, which gave deed of mort
gage for the property to the American
Trust Company Bonds We're issued to
cover the mortgage to Schwab as trus-
tee of other stockholders. In 1906,

ed in court and the property sold to
Schwab, who was the highest bidder
and was still acting in the capacity Of
trustee for the bondholders. The deed
of sale transferred to him included the
right of extensive use of the North
Fork stream, which runs on the side
OF the mining claims and is necessary
for placer mining. To secure further
benefit from the water and to keep
it clear from dumpngs, two reservoirs
were constructed under Schwabs SUI

property. which store the water for
a whole placer season. From these

Worth Millions to Irrigation.

Greeley, Colo.-The decision ren.
dered by the Supreme Court granting
the right to reservoir companies to
store ditch water owned by them in
reservoirs, when not being utilized, it
is believed, is worth s5,00O,O90 in in.
creased valuation of ditch stock. and
will likely work changes in the irriga
ton business, to the benefit of farm
ers.
Six or seven years ago s. j. Gilmore
then president of the Greeley & Love.
land ditch, brought suit against the
Seven Lakes Reservoir Company, en-
joining them from storing Louden &
Barnes ditch water in the Seven
Lakes reservoir at a time when own
ers could not use their water on crops
Gilmore acted on the theory that if
one could not use the water every day
while growing crops. anyone else was
privileged to its use. II worked IA
hardship to reservoir companies who
owned such water for the loss of it,
for in many cases farmers under the
reservoirs grew only beets or pota-
toes and needed water for late irriga-
tion only.
The District Court sustained Gi'-
more, and the case was appealed TO
the Supreme Court In the meantime,
Mr.. Gilmore, being no longer presi-
dent of the Greeley & Loveland Ditch
Company, the Seven Lakes company.
in which b. ID. Sanborn is owner of
one-third of the stock, without oppo-
sition of the Greeley & Loveland COM
pany, stored their Louden & Barnes
ditch ~ater for late irrigation, al.
though the suit was pending.
The decision is considered an I'M
portant victory for not only the Seen
Lakes reservoir, but for all reservoir
companies in northern Colorado
where constant promotion of new res.
ervoirs and development of old ones
Is going on
Heretofore ditch water that could
not be used Immediately was allowed
to waste, often running fields and
roads. Now all of this water will be

ers all of the time, when most needed.
This conserving of ditch water in res
ervoirs will also be favorable to fac,
tories and power companies having
use for reservoir water in connection
with their plants. In fact, the decision
embraces all reservoir property which
has become as great, if not greater
necessity to this region than ditche S
