Mars.
From McClure's.


1t has been said that when our earth has
so far wasted away that it's inhabitants
will depend for their water supply upon
the melting ice and snow of the Arctic and
Antarctic ocean a gigantic effort will be
made to devise some means of conducting
the polar spring and summer floods to the
parched equatorial and temperate zones.
To Mars the unlocking of the polar seas
is of as much moment as the annual inun-
that Mars is inhabited by beings as intelli-
that they would dig huge trenches to guide
the freshets of the poles to those regions
where water Is most sadly needed. If we
would find signs of Marian intelligence, we
must accordingly look for trenches and

existence was doubted for years because

UNSETTLED AT GoLDFIELD.
Senator Nixon Deplores the Present
Industrial Turmoil.

GOLDFIELD, New, March 16.-United
States Senator George S. Nixon, president
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mining Com
pany, arrived yesterday from Washington
to confer with his partner, George Wing
field. He said today:
When j arrived | regretted to find Gold
field In an industrial turmoil, especially in
view of the fact that there are no diff
ferences over hours, wages or union prin-
ciples, the only difference being between
two labor organizations. The mine own
ers naturally lament this condition. The
only course they could pursue is the ono
taken namely, to close down the mines
throughout the camp until the men settle
the differences among themselves. While
this condition of affairs Is unfortunate il
is one for which the mine owners are no
way responsible. | am glad to say that
when the mines are reopened there will be
no change in the wage scale or the hours
of labor"
The labor situation today is devoid of
developments, each side seemingly await
ing the others action. The citizens this
morning authorized the reopening Of
groceries, restaurants and butcher shops
The trouble arose over the determination
of certain men to Gust the Industrial Work
ers of the World from Goldfield.

MAN AND WIFE AsPHYxIATED.
Mystery Surrounds Death of Phila-
delphia Couple.

PHILADELPHIA. March 16-Lying side
by side on bed in their home here, Thomas
Sherlow, sixty-eight years old, and his wife
Annie, sixty-two years old, were found dead
this afternoon asphyxiated by Illuminating
gas. A fox terrier lay dead beside them.
A deputy sheriff who had gone to the
house to serve a summons for debt made
the discovery. Judging from the fact that
Fridays newspapers were still on the door
STEP the police are inclined to believe the
couple have been dead since some time
Thursday night.
The stopcock of a gas jet in the kitchen
was turned on and the house was filled with
gas.
Sherlow had a good position and had no
apparent reason for suicide. save the few
debts which the deputy sheriff went to the
house to collect. When last seen Thursday
night both the old man and his wife seemed
to be in good spirits. and the policemen who
Investigated the case are inclined to believe
the asphyXiation was accident
The fact that the couple were fully dress
ed when found, however. and were stretched
crosswise of the bed lends a touch of mys-
terry to the case.

COX Hunting" in 17OO.

From the London Chronicle.
Two or three hundred years ago any one
who said he had been fox hunting would
have laid himself open to misconception
of which there is no longer danger In a

The has caught fox meant 'he is very
drunk and this is what a writer meant in

good wine hunts the fox once a year"
"Foxed' signified drunk and to fox a
man was to make him SO. Pepys records

that of playing a foxy trick on man? Or,

Where Governor Comes In.

Perhaps the governor will have a say in
the choosing of the West Virginia delega-
ton to his party's national convention. Hav-
ing been active in his party's councils for a
quarter of a century, the governor is not ex-
pected to let the delegations selection go
by default, particularly as some of the re-
publicans who have been the most bitter in
opposing his state policies will be active in
that regard. On this issue alone conditions
may swing to the point where there will be
a passage at arms between Senator Scott
on the one hand and Gov. Dawson and Rep
resentatives-elect Hubbard and Sturgiss on
the other.
The Observation-Disclosures turgiss element
which has been at the forefront in the new
state tax policies. and which is virtually
the administration leadership, will very
likely incline to Taft, if not Roosevelt for a
third term. Incidentally it is to be noted
that boom is growing for Sturgiss for
governor; and the selection of SturgiSs
would have great significance in determn-
ing the senatorial proposition.

Other Factors to Be Reckoned With.

Gov. Dawson remains factor to be con-
sidered for SCOTS shoes, and Representa-
tive Joseph H. Gaines is another Irobabil-
ity Senator Scott may eliminate or greatly
minimize the opposition by effecting pop
ular choice for governor next year. from
a geographical viewpoint he is sure to get
behind a man from the southern section,
and a good plug along that line will do
much to weaken the territorial claims of
Gaines and Dawson.
The governors troubles with the legisla-
ture have been so many and perplexing no.
ing of entering the stormy legislative arena
for the necessary nerve-w racking senatorial
contest. But there are those who pretend
to fathom his interest in a state primary
law connected with his reputed sena-
torial dreams. The governor mas two more
chances to get that law passed before the
| senatorial battle. He is also said to be con-
| steering a special session of the legislature
/ for the coming fall, which will be asked to
| take up the primary bill.
| The primary bill projected calls for the
| nomination of candidates for the United
| States Senate. Without that feature the
| bill would have easier shedding. The gov
| ernor wants everybody named by primary
! on one and the same day. If the bill goes
through there will be no surprise manifest
ed if Dawson's name is on the ballots. but
if the bill meets the fate 1t did this winter
there is not strong probability of the gov
ernor's making the required canvass of
oil
