the situation at the reservoir, where
the Fourteenth avenue drain has be-
come stopped up. and bad condition
exists. The committee proposed the

means that the city will divert this
drainage from the reservoir into Rock

ravine has an outlet in Rock river.

relief of the sufferers is the assur-
ance which President Roosevelt,
Secretary Root and other officials
expressed today.
Although the bill passed by con-
gress will not technically become a
law until after it is signed by the
presid ent, the state department to-
night cabled Ambassador Griscom
to draw upon this government for
500, 900 the minute he received
authentic news that the bill had be-
come law. Money will be need
ed for many months. 1t will be
necessary to distribute throughout
the various towns of Italy to earth
quake sufferers, who are not able to
make living or find work in the
places where they first are taken.
1t required long time in the case
of the San Francisco disaster to
distribute all the money collected,
and the same will probably be true
this time.

Death of Mother Newby
From Santa Fe Monitor.

From Santa Fe Monitor.
Grandma Newly, mother of Mrs.
u. Miller, after an illness of two
months, quietly passed away at her
home in southwest Gray county
Sunday morning at O'Clock, De-
cember 27th. She was afflicted
with a complication of diseases and
her advanced age was against her
recovery. Only six short weeks
ago, her aged companion, R. G.
Newby, passed to his reward, and
since that time Mother Newly has
felt she would like to go too, if it
was the will of her Master. Her
condition was serious but it was not
thought the end was so near. Sat
urday morning when Mrs. Miller
and family left her all thought she
was little better. At the time OF
her death her daughter, Mrs. T. A.
McClelland and two daughters, Eva
and Martha, and the nurse were
with her.
Thus in a few short weeks is this
happy home broken up. 1t was the
meeting place of many happy gath
erings, composed of the children,
grandchildering and other relatives
and neighbors. But there will be
no more.
The funeral took place from the
Dunkard church in Santa Fe Tues
day afternoon at O'Clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. I. Miller, who
preached very impressive sermon
from lob {, 26-"Thou shalt come
to thy grave in full age, like as a
shock Of corn cometh in his season. "
The music was furnished by a
special choir composed of Mrs. v.
q --.4., - a
L. Bethel, Mrs. E. H. Elliott, Miss
Carrie Cave and Messrs. ]. S. Pat
rick, G. A. Tyler, Ernest Elliott
and Claude Cave, with Mrs. J. S.
Patrick at the organ and it was
especially nice. The body was then
laid to rest in the Santa Fe ceme-
terry beside that of her late husband.
The attendance was quite large.
Before leaving the late residence
short prayer and song service was
conducted by Mrs. J. F. Joserand
and was largely attended by the
neighbors and friends.

Of water. but his was abandoned be
cause water evaporated too quickly
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
liquid the normal height was only
twenty-seven feet, which was mol
enough. Olive oil was chosen finally
The tube rests against a monumental
pillar Of stone. Olive oil Is the lightest
LIQUID yet used for a barometer. When
a lighter one is made available a taller
barometer may be constructed Pas
