Austin, Teas Nov. Ex-Governor Campbell today made public that part of the report of the legislative peni- tentiaryl Investigating board submit ted to him Wednesday.
 Another part, dealing with the finances of the institutions. will be made later, probably early in Janu- ary.
 The investigation was authorized by the act of the thirtydlrst legisla- ture and the committee began it's work July 15 last. The committee consists of Senator c. E. Gilmore, chairman; Senators C. F.

 Among the recommendations are:
 Lease and share system should be abolished in oie year; indeterminate sentence should be provided for; par ole law should be made mandatory; convicts should share net earnings; whippings should be modified and re- stricted (three members Of the com mittee fayorng abolishing the strap); classification and grading of convicts should be followed; permanent bi-par- tisan commission should be establish ed; gambling should be stopped (the committee found gambling in full. wide open swing at most of the con. yict camps) stripes should be aboI- ished except as means of punish ment; penalties should be fixed for abusing oonvicts.
 Five of the committeeman recon. mended special session of the legis- lature to apply needed remedies to the situation. A subcommittee will. in response to the governors request. specify instances of brutal treatment and irregularities.

SEE EXPLAINS CHAPTERS ON MOON HAS COMPLETED HIS RESEARCH Es ON THE ORIGIN OF PLAN
 FITS AND SATELLITES.
Says That the craters on the Moon Are Depressions. Steel Lined,
 With Small Peak in the
 Center.

San Francisco, Cal. Nov. 27.-Ex- tending and completing his researches on the origin of the planets and satel- | lites of the solar system, earlier ac- counts of which were made public In January and June of the present year. Professor T. J. J. See, U. s. Navy, the astronomer in charge of the Naval Observatory at Mare Island. gave to- night to the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, an explanation of the ori- gin of the craters of the moon, and then proceeded to apply the new theory to the obliquities of the plan cts. which. he said, overcame the last difficulty in the way of the Capture Theory recently advanced by him as supplanting the nebular hypothesis of Papace.
 Professor See announced that the lunar craters were undoubtedly due to the impact of smaller satellites against the surface Of the moon, and not to yolcanication. as had been generally believed since the time of Calico The view that the lunar era ters might be due to impact, he said, had occurred to Proctor as long ago as 1873. and had been mentioned as a curiosity by Newcomb in 1878; while 1t had been more fully developed by Dr. c. K Gilbert, of the U. s. GeoIogi- cal Survey. in 1892. But the impact theory had never been accepted by geologists or astronomers, and was not mentioned in any recent words on astronomy, so great has been the force of traditional opinion inclining to the old volcanic theory.
 Professor See, however, pointed out detailed reaons which, he claims, wers absolutely decisive against the vol canic theory than formerly, because he had recently proved that the moon is not a part of the earth thrown off by rapid rotation, but a planet captured from space. The new theory of the capture of the morn, he said, had been fayorably received by the scientific world, but it would be of still greater use in bringing to light other discoveries. such as those an- nounced tonight.
 Dr. See said the typical crater on the moon was a very large circular
 depression with steep walls inside and sloping walls outside. and small peak in the center, with the top of it
 below the average level of the lunar surface. If any one supposed the era ters to be volcanic, 1t was impossible to account for the depressicns where
 the craters stand; and no forces di-
 rected from within could dig out the circular trough about the peak in the
 center. Then, too, the way the craters 1 lie over one another shows that they are nothing but satellite indentations. 1 About the newer craters, as Coperni-
 GUS, rycho, Aristarchus, etc, the
 bright rays radiating in all directions
 shows that at the time of the col
 lisions the force of the impact was
 such that matter was melted, vapor- ized and driven out from these cen
 ters in all directions. A satellite hit

 ture raised to four thousand degrees

originally of much greater dimen. sions than at present. The solar sys. tenn was former from spiral nebula, the outer border of which originally extended to something like a thousand times the distance of the earth from the sun. Most of the other nebuae Of the heavens are of immense extent and Professor See said he had proved that the nebula which formed our sol. ar system was no exception to the general rule
 In conclusion, Dr. See announced that he had now proved that the plan cts had been captured by the sun, and that their orbits had been grad ually reduced in size and rounded up under the secular action of resist. ing medium, that the satellites like. wise had been captured bv their sev. eral planets, and had had their or. bits transformed in the same manner, finally that the moon had been cap. tured by the earth, and the craters on it's surface had been formed by the impact of satellites, when the moon revolved among the Asteroids or fur ther out. The time involved in the formation of the solar system was to be reckoned in billions of years. and something like four hundred million years may have elapsed since the moon was captured by the earth. In conclusion, he said all the principal phenomena of the solar system were now fully explained in accordance with known mechanical laws. and as. tronomers had gained an unexpected light on the origin of the systems of the universe.

ITINERARY OF THE
 SENATE COMMITTEE
Makers of Irrigation Law Will Be in and Near Phoenix October 21-24.

President B. A. Fowler of the Water Users association has received from Senator Thomas H. Carter. chairman of the senate committee on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands a copy of the itinerary of the trip of his committee for the inspection of the reclamation project in the west. The itinerary begins at Chicago, August 31 and will visit the following places in the order named: Glendive, Billings, Huntley, Cody, Corbett, Powell, Hell ena, Great Falls. Vaughn. Fort Shaw, Great Falls. Mill River Valley, Havre, Browning, St. Mary's Lakes, Kalispell. arriving in Spokane September 16. Re l suming the journey the following ! places will be visited in order: Yaki- ma, Valley, Seattle. Portland, Hermis ton, Boise, Nampa. Minadoka: Hay burn, Burley. Milner, Twin Falls, Sho- shone Falls. Salt Lake, Provo, Grand Junction La Jane. Montrose, Delta ogden, Hagen, Reno. Truckee, Tahoe, and Sacramento. where the party will arrive on October H.
 The committee will then divide into | two parties. one visiting Weed. Klam-
 
 Francisco on october 15 The other ! known as party No. 2, will be under the guidance of Senator Flint and a | local association visiting the Orland project and Red Bluff damsite. joining party No. l in San Francisco on Oc- tober 15.
 Now comes the part of the story important to this section. It is likely ! that some of the members of the party will drop out, or return east from San Francisco though it is earnestly hoped | they will all stick together for the last lap of the trip which will be to the southwest and upon which the united party will start from San Francisco on october 16 From this point the itin- erary will be as follows: Arrive in Los Angeles. October IT; Imperial. Holt vile, Brawley. CaleXico, October IS; and reach Yuma at 7:30 on the evening of the 18th. They leave Yuma October 20 at 1O:10 p.m.; arrive in Phoenix on the morning of the 21: visit Roosevelt on the 22nd: Granite Reef on the 23; and leave Phoenix on the 24 via the Southern Pacific at 10 pm. Thence they will go to Fl Paso and Denver.
 
 fore be the period when their enter tainment will to some extent be under the purview of the Phoenix people and on some occasion there will doubtless be a public reception and probably a public or semi public meeting also for the exchange of sentiment between the water users of the valley and the gen tlemen who hold it's interests so great ly in their keeping in the capitol. Plans will be worked out later and this mention is only to apprise the people of the date and in a general way what the plans of the committee are The purpose of the committee is well set forth in the following extract of the i resolution adopted in the senate March | 3d, under which the committee is mak- | ing the tour:
 Resolved. that the committee on ir- | rigation be. and it is hereby author | ized and directed. by subcommittee or | otherwise. to visit. during the recess of |

 In an experience of several years ir newspaper methods, the writer has never before encountered anything
 quite SD raw as this. Primarily. it was an attempted crime against ad

 But as frequently happens. this crime has led to another more heinous, the procuring from a little boy a signed statement of an untruth The Gazette explained before it was publicly ac- cused that these tares herein illustrat- ed were sown in that wheat field by one of its carriers, John Acosta who is made to say in the statement.

CATARRH THE CAUSE OF
 CONSUMPTION /

If you have catarrh don't fool your self into the belief that it is a harm less disease. At least one-half of the consump- tion in the world can be traced to catarrh.
 Here are some symptoms of catarrh; if you have any of them get rid of them while there is yet time.
 Is your throat raw?
 Do you sneeze often7 Is your breath foul?
 Are your eyes watery?
 Do you take cold easily?
 Is your nose stopped up?
 Do you have to spit often?
 Do crusts form in your nose?
 Are you worse in damp weather?
 Do you blow your nose great deal?
 Are you losing your sense of smell?
 Does your mouth taste bad morn ings?
 Do you have a dull feeling in your head?
 Do you have to clear your throat on rising?
 Is there a tickling sensation in your throat?
 Do you have a discharge from the nose?
 Does mucous drop in back of throat?
 Medicine taken into the stomach won't cure catarrh; because to cure catarrh you must kill the persistent and destructive catarrh germ.
 Hyomei (pronounced High-Ome) the guaranteed catarrh cure is strong antiseptic yet pleasant air which when breathed over the mem brane of the nose and throat into the lungs gets where the germs are and cures catarrh by killing the germs. c. N. Lindsey of Mitchell $. D., says it cured him. Read his letter:
 Having suffered from catarrh for about two years. and having tried numerous remedies without any satis- factory results, I finally tried Hyomei. and I am glad to state that after us ing about one and one-half bottles, am entirely cured"
 Hyomei is sold by leading druggists everywhere and is sold in Phoenix by Larson Drug Co. on the money back plan. A complete outfit, including inhaler only costs $1.0O; and extra bottles 50 cents.

This, my brethren. is an illustration of the Biblical parable of the separa- tiOn of the tares from the wheat The less spiritually minded may think they see in it a portrait of d considerable part Of the circulation of the Arizona Gazette. It is really both
 This is a picture of a pile of Arizona Gazettes-there are nearly 200 of them found in a small wheat field at Tenth and Roosevelt streets on May l5. They were really found by the owner of the field long before that. but on that date the owner made complaint that they were cumbering the ground. All the papers in this imposing pile are of the date of April 24.
 Other wheat fields in the vicinity of Phoenix have not yet been eX- plored but now that the harvest is near at hand, it will doubtless be found that the pest Gazetticus. worse than the smut, exists in wide extent. It had for a long time been found along and in the irrigation ditches and in waste places about the city. but there the disease, though annoying to zanjerOs and the eyesight. had generally been regarded as of only a sporadic char acter. No foci had been reported pre- vious to May 15. The attention of the agricultural experiment station is here by directed to this threatening evil, this worse than weevil.
 But coming down to the question of newspaper circulation, concerning which there has been some local con- troversy, the foregoing picture is fur ther Illuminating. The Gazette has es-

 ties of the task, which would neces-
 sarily involve excursions into the
 wheat fields and other luxuriant growth where circulation turks The committee could not expect to find all of it and drag it from its lair. so that in the en1 the search would result in nothing conclusive.
 The picture also strengthens the res olution of The Republican not to be- come a party to such a crOss-country chase. through wheat fields and along weed grown ditches. This paper has no circulation to be found there and will have none. The price of white print paper is too high and The Re publicans reputation for an honest cir culation is too valued.
 Besides, such a competition as has been proposed by the Gazette, if en- tered into by The Republican and carried on by it according to the meth ods of the Gazette would result in hu- initiation to both papers There are not enough wheat fields convenient to town to hide two circulations in.
