RISING WATER OF RID GRANDE
 |S ALARMING

FL PASO, April 2S.-The Rio Grande is still rising. but slowly.
 The river is now 13.4 at the Stan ton street bridge. a rise of two inches since Sunday morning. and is gradual ly working up. It fell some last night. but began rising rapidly this morning.
 Information from the Leasburg dam today is that water is running over the dam 1-2 feet and that there is a slow rise noticeable. h. formation from further up is to the effect that the river is also rising some.
 The city authorities placed a guard at the headgates of the canal last night with instructions to fire three shots if any danger of a flood evil denced itself.
 Today several men are at work un- der the supervision of the Waters Users making necessary repairs and strengthening the canal. Sand bags are being put in at the headgates and at places along the embankment be- twen the river and canal, where there is any apparent danger from the flood, but so far there has been no alarming indications of danger. The principal fear is that the river will break into the canal and flood the lower end of the city.
 The water was almost up to the street car tracks on the smelter line at o'circk last night and if the river continues to r,se. it may put the smelter line out of business temporar fly The water was going over the rock dam with a roar and further uI the river a strong current could be seen in the moonlight.
 Watch fires were kept burning or the American and Mexican sides oi the river. watching for the expected overflow. Along the shelter lins where it parallels the river for sey eral hundred yards. the water was lapp'ng the bank at the foot of thS right of way and the squeamish pas sengers on the smelter cars pre- ferred the landward side of the car

HUNT FOR GOLD SUBTLE CAUSE
 OF INSANITY

PHOENIX, Ariz.. April 2S.-Thir. teen years in the hills, spent in a dis couraging and expensive search for gold. during which they have suffered many priyations, practically withdrew from civilization and sunk over $15,- GOO in the ground. ended in the asy- lum for Charles Siiverlock and An drew Goldleaf. two prospectors. who were brought here from Mesa by Deputy Sheriff Adams.
 Silverioek and Greenleaf have spent the best part of their lives, ex- hausted their small fortune and lost their minds in an attempt to win from a ledge in the Superstition mountains. twenty-six miles from Mesa, the gold they always claimed was there if they could only hit the right spot.
 For the past few years, Silverlock and Goldleaf have been acting queer ly, their malady growing until 1t has developed into a dangerous form of insanity Goldleaf having drawn a re- volver and threatened to kill Thomas Jewell at Mesa Saturday night.
 Silverlock and Goldleaf have al ways surrounded their mine with an element of secrecy and mystery. They welcomed visitors 10 their camp. invited them to eat, offered them a bed and cared for their horses, but at the first mention of their mine by an inquisitive visitor their immediate | response was a command to the in quirer to leave their presence forth with.
 For the past year Silverlock and Goldleaf have been in Mesa, being without funds to carry on the work at their mine. They have lived large fly of the charity of friends, though the manner of existence has been much in doubt among Mesa people.
 In the cell occupied by the two men at the sher,ffs office today 1t was easy to notice a striking differ ence. Goldleaf is sullen and silent, as if breeding over the failure of the lpast. while Silverlock was genial and happy
 Goldleaf refused to talk, but Silver leaf willingly answered questions un- til asked about his mine. when he turned away In anger and refused ab- solutely to answer any further inquir. ies on topics as foreign as possible to his search for wealth
 Silverlock said that he came tC Arizona thirteen years ago from Colo rado. He owned a well stocked cat tie ranch there, but sold the cattle and then the ranch to raise funds tc carry on his prospecting in Arizona He said Goldleaf, too, came here iron Colorado.

Lying in wait in pursuance of pre- arranged plan. John Igo. who holds commission as an officer. this after noon placed under arrest Mrs. M. Reagan, a woman well know in Doug las. on a charge of grand larceny filed before Justice of the Peace Ben Rice by Mrs. Alice Gatliff of Agua Prieta. It is alleged that Mrs. Reagan. while temporarily in charge of Mrs. Gatliff's curio store, Sunday, feloniously car. ried away some jewelry, among which was a diamond ring the personal property of Mrs. Gatliff, and a con siderable amount of goods such as is carried at the curio store. These goods were first locatedin the room of Mrs. Reagan at the home of Mrs. U. Ardison, S0l Fifth street.
 The case was conducted by City Marshal East and his department. When the discovery of the goods first was made the police had Mrs Gatl fl come over and she readily identified the goods as being her property. Mrs. Reagan at the time was at the curio store over the line. The police fram- ed it up so that Mrs. Reagan would be sent over to the Douglas postofiice for letter. or with a letter. During the noon hour she came over and, the entire day police force being out of 1 the city. John Igo was commissioned to arrest Mrs. Reagan and this he
 accomplished without remonstrance
 Mrs. Reagan denies that she stole the goods. She is being detained il ! the court room of the city hall. There | is a statute under which, il is claim ed. she can be prosecuted here just the same is if the alleged larceny had been committed in the territory On account of the absence of most of
 the officials no action further thar the filing of the complaint had beer taken this afternoon.

AN ELASTIC CONTINGENT FUND

AN ELASTIC CONTINGENT FUND.
One of the most famous institu-
lions in modern history is that $lO,-
600 contingent fund of Governor
Stubs. 1t does more remarkable
things than you can think Of in
lifetime. 1t has saved the day time
and again, and has repeatedly pulled
the able head of the Great Trium-
virate out of tight places. 1t has
stretched all over the state. 1t has
cleaned UP the penitentiary; 1t has
saved the day, for the state temper
ance union; it has put down infaptile
paralysis; it has tackled the bubonic
plague or something else, this paper
forgets Just exactly what, now; and
il has covered like the Cloak Of Char
ity evil and suffering and multitudin-
Gus shortcomings.
These thoughts are excited because
of the latest performance Of the MINI

A correspondent of the Topeka

blow at an established institution Of

funny things. Within the walls of the
Shawnee county jail is confined a
man on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, said assault consist
ing of shaping young man on the
head with the butt end of gun. For
this great crime in the great city OF
Topeka this man is refused his liberty
until he can secure a $4,000 bond. In
the same Jail was "roughneck" from
the wilds of Wyoming, who was In
carcerated there for a few hours on
a charge of killing man, using the
business" end of gun to perform
his most meritorious deed. He was
released on a $500 bond. Great
Jehosaphat! Just think OF the dif-
ference. One man commits a murder
with malice aforethought and is made
hero for his wanton crime, while
the other merely tapped a man a fas-
cinating rap on the Uranium with only
sufficient force to take his pins
from under him for second or two

the adoption of the Republican
theory of protection. Under its
beneficent influence, factories have
multiplied, furnishing employment to
hundreds of thousands; until the
army Of consumers has grown so
large, as to almost furnish home
market for the products of the farm.
Until recently, the lure Of the un-
occupied prairies drew thousands in
to agricultural pursuits, but these
lands have become practically all oc-
cupied, and Of late years the manu-
featuring interests have grown 50
rapidly as to more nearly establish
balance, and the home market, the
condition so earnestly desired, has
practically become a reality. This
fact alone accounted for the splendid
prices obtained for the products OF
the farm, and insured continuance
of those prices, as long as the great
army of the employed, is kept at
work. He further remarked that in
spite of the clamor raised by the>in-
surgents, he could not cite a single
article, which was costing him more,'
because of the operation Of the new
tariff measure, and stated that the
thing as farmer he most ardently
desired, was continuation of the
present splendidly prosperous condi-
