Stop Leak In
Empire Dam

After strenuous work all Of Monday night
and Tuesday. 30 ranchmen and Fort Morgan
business men succeeded Tuesday evening IN
some measure in stopping the flow from the
broken Empire reservoir.
Tee busted conduit was practically closed 1t
O'Clock tonight. and few feet Of water held
back in the hugh resorvoir. which hsd been dis
Rorxins it's contents At the rate OF SO cubic
feet per second since 9 O'Clock Monday. The
water that has been retained will prove SUM-
ci~nt to save the crops from ruin. and II -
now believed that the only damage ASIDE
from that to the reservoir and the hllou
ditch, will be to the Green City mats. the
thrrs- mill xtrip between the resOrvOir and
the Platte.
"wednesday morning 100 teams were put
to work 70 repair the Bijou ditch. more than
half mile Of which was torn out by the
foods Of Tuesday. In the meantime the
hesdvatrs Of eli th~ laterals have been or
dered 70 be kept wide open. In order that the
farmers may obtain the benefit OF ail the
water flowing through the broken ditch
There will be no restrictions on the use OF the
water by any Of the farmers. This. It II be-
lieved, will to some extent relieve the pres
sure on the big ditch. and prevent any FUR
ther breaks before repairs can be made.
Great relief u felt at Morgan at the stop
ming of the break, which last night threat
ened the loss Of practically al the cropa in
the Bijou district. Now the crop loss will bs
small Il enough men and teams can be se-
cured to repair the ditch 20 that It will carry
the needed water during the latter part Of
the month.

YEARNS FOR HIS HOME.
Runaway Jersey Lad Impresses
Judge Kimball and Gets Help.

Rudolph Helm. white boy. nineteen
years old. pines for the comforts of home
and the appetizing smell of the bounteous
loaves brought from the oven of his
fathers bake shop in Newark. \. J.
Rudolph ran away from home some
time ago, but the way has not been
smooth. One by one his dreams of the
fortune that awaited him in the wide
world have been shattered The paving
stones of the great cities he has visited
made but poor substitute for the soft
bed of his mother. and each new pang
of hunger brought flooding memories of
the appetizng odors of his fathers bake
shop. Rudolph hasn't heard much about
the prodieal. but thoughts of home are
surely pleasing.
Rudolph came to Washington with the
Gentry circus. But the circus he ex-
planned in tremulous tones today had
kicked him out again on the cold cold
world, and had started off for new fields
without him. Policeman Flaherty found
him yesterday wandering in the streets
searching in vain for a place to sleep
Judge kimball was impressed with the
boys story in Police Court today and
Instructed Agent Massie of the board of
charities to aid him in getting back
home.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, August 23-Louer cables
and liberal receipts in the southwest
caused weakness in the wheat market
here today. Selling was general at the
start and demand was scattered. Mod
crate rains were reported in the north
west, but they We're not sufficiently gen.
eral to cause any appreciable effect
Enormous movement in the northwest
is expected to begin within few days,
and this further weakened the market.
Prices at the opening were - TO ,4a'sc

December at 947s to 9514. After selling
off to 1854 for September the price rallied
to Glas. December declined to 94a4.

were shade to ssas4c lower, with sep
tember at 66i4 to 66s4. After touchihS

Provisions were firm Prices at the
start were 2l. to 1oc higher.
