Although in close proximity to some
Of the greater irrigation projects being
pushed by the federal government to
successful completion most of us have
little conception :of the vastness of
these enterprises in the aggregate,
Gays the Butte Inter Mountain. Not
that q certain familiarity breeds
contempt, in this lease, for the newspa.
pers and the people of the west appre-
ciate in no small measure what gov.
eminent reclamation will do for the
Country, but as q matter of fact few of
ne have q true conception of what has
already been accomplished by the de-
partment. Wei say withEenthusiasm
that the reclamation of these arid
lands will make homes for thousands
OF settlers and add untold wealth to
the west, speaking in the future tense:
when as q matter of fact, If we but
knew, We might refer with pride to
what has already3been done.
friedrich H. Newell, director of the
United Ststessoreclamation service,
who is in the northwestji at this sine,
on Thursday gave out some facts that
will astonish and amszelmost OF those
who hear them. He said that during
the season now coming to q close,
more than 700, 900 acres had been made
productive through the work Of the
reclamation service-an empire in
itself.
THE season CHOW approaching q
close, "said Director Newell. "has been
the most successful'and stthe sametime
the one most filled with anxiety for
the reclaim ationlservice. 1t has been
successful in that more than 100, 600
acres OF productive land have been
brought under the ditch, and at the
same time the anxieties have been
great because Sof the fact that there
were 5000 miles of canal and bitches
In active use for thelfrst time. All of
this earthworka is new. has not had
time as yet to settle and consolid ate,
and the men engaged In operation and
maintenan have not had time to
thoroughly become familiar with all
the local conditions"
The director added that public lands
under the reclamation projects are
being steadily taken up by an excel.
lent class of men. The adoption of q
new rule TO the effect that settlers
must pay inI advance one.tenth the
cost Of the water, he said, has KEEP,
out the improvident or purely specu.
lative entrymen. AS a result the mer
who select farmss do it with greater
care than in previous years and with
. full knowledge of conditions and
determin alton to make good.
In Montana the larger projects con
templated by the government have We,
to be completed. Two or three, how
ever. of the smaller ones are fulfilling
their missions, and already have at
4orded homes to many settlers. TIT
success Of these smaller projects give
some idea of the importance OF thu
work contemplated for thisstate.
AS the opportunities afforded b,
these projects become better known W,
will have an influx of settlers besid,
which this years movement will b.
trivial. All this will come in time
and the day Is not far removed.

in Atlanta, returned to her home in
Douglas county last week. after having
completely denied before the United
States court here the story she at first
told to the revenue. officers.
II seems that the persistent raids of
the revenue officers have cut down 10
a small number the stills in Douglass
county, but Wiley Ward is one Of those
daring mOOnshiners, who up until the
time Of the disaster, which his wife
brought upon him, had distilled dew IN
that section. If he had treated his bet
ter half with a little more consideration,
perchance he. too, would stir be making
from the golden grain the drink that de-
lights.
But Wiley was somewhat lacking in
the wiles of diplomacy, and thereby
hangs tale. When his better half re-
fused, on account of religious scruples
to stand guard against the revenue Of
hcers and in that way TO second wiley's
efforts TO relieve the thirst OF his neigh

10 her a sound thrashing. Then came the
of Mrs. Ward. She boarded a
train for Atlanta, and TO appease her
wounded feelings. whispered into the ears
Of the revenue officers here the location

stage Of the story when Mrs. Ward de.

Mrs. Ward has gone home, and no
prophet has arisen to tell the outcome OF
the meeting when Ward is released, and
once more greets her.

morning and was answered by Policeman
Hollingsworth, who told him that Mrs.
Condor was dead. The officer had just
forced his way into the house.
Several others tried to reach Mrs. Con-

Dor. negro employee at the studio went
to the home Saturday and Sunday, but
was unable to gain entrance at either
time. Workmen who had been engaged
by Mrs. Condor also came to the home.
She intended to have certain painting
work done and the workmen came Friday
and left their ladders and other imple-
ments. But when they returned Saturday
they could get no answer to their ringing.
Mr. Hill says that his wife talked with
Mrs. Condor Friday afternoon and that
they both saw her as she pulled down
the shades of the windows about dusk.
She was neither seen nor heard after
that until her body was found Monday
morning.
II is believed that Mrs. COndon's death
was caused, either by apoplexy or by
heart failure.
The remains have been removed from
the home to the undertaking establish
ment of Greenberg, Bond & Bloomfield,
and there an inquest will be held.

 than half of our students have re- turned to Brookfield for a second year Of study. A large number have
 been with us for three sessions, and there always are some students in
 attendance upon their fourth session ! This is the strongest endorsement 1 we can offer for the Brookfield sum-
 mer school. An education in music 1 is of value to the professional in just
 the proportion that he has the power
 to make its influence felt The
 pivotal idea of the Brookfield sum-
 mer school in the culture of that
 power. Musicians differ so widely
 in this respect that too frequently
 those who are we'll equipped, fail,
 where superficiality seems to thrive.
 The director of the school takes students as he finds them. If they
 fall short in essentials, his efforts are concentrated upon their great est needs. If they are strong in im- portant features, the pupils is made to see the value Of that strength, and empowered to use it to the best advantage. with this end in view, the series of Lecture Talks amount to a practical demonstration of How to Command Success of T'earh" CTS and Artists" Among the Lecturers who have spoken al the school are the following: Prof. N.

THE PATIENT
 GETS WELL
That Is the Important Thing About the Treatment of Rheumatism With Dr.
 Williams Pink Pills.

It is unnecessary to tell the sufferer from intammatory rheumatism that the ordinary treatments for this disease are unsatisfactory.
 Physicians arc not of one mind on the subject but the highest authorities hold that Rheumatism is Q disease Of the blood. All admit that in attacks of rheumatism there is marked and rapid thinning of the blood. This is condi- tion that treatment with Dr. Will. Hams Pink Pills at once arrests and corrects. The thin blood is enriched, the strengthened organs of the body throw of the poisonous impurities and the patient gets well.
 The one impressive fact is that, while most treatments for rheumatism are ex- perimental, Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured so many stubborn cases that their beneficial action in this disease is as certain as anything in medicine.
 MT. B. A. Jarvis, of No. 26 Chase street, Pawtucket, R. l., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. He says:
 'I had rheumatism for eighteen years. The fingers of my right hand were drawn out of shape and my wrist was so sore that the slightest pressure caused me intense pain. There were stinging sensations in my hands when l got up in the morning.
 "My brother recommended Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills to mo as he had been benefited by them. After I had used them short time l found that l was getting better and I soon became strong and able to work. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills for rheumatism. They have been of such benefit to me that l would not be without them"
 While so promptly effective, Dr. Will. liams' Pink Pills contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. They are per. fectly safe and create no drug habit. A valuable booklet, "Diseases of the Blood," containing fuller information about rheumatism will be sent free upon request
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, soc. per box; six boxes for S2. 50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Schenectady, N. Y.
