Colorado River discharges DUR

Colorado River discharges during
an average year into the Golf d
California 33s 900 900 tons Of mud
and silt as suspended matter. In ad-
dition to this the dissolved substance
in the wa ter include 4 $50. 900 tonl
Of sodium chloride, or common salt
3.740, 900 tons Of Glauber's salts
1000. 900 tons Of lime 100000
tons Of gypsum ,and4 800, 900 tonsoi
Epson salts. In spite Of all this dis
solved material the Colorado at its
mouth is not considered to be a
stream Of unusually high mineraliza-
ton for that region Of the country.
The reason is that the river also
carries so enormous an amount Of
water that the dissolved salts con-
stitute comparatively small proper
ton Of the total discharge. Other
streams in the country contain dis
solved salts in greater concentration
for example, the Elm Fork of Red
River, in Oklohoma, discharges
nearly 100000 tons Of common
salt annually. Although this amout
is not so great as that discharged
by the Colorado It is much greater
in proportion to the size of the area
drained. The discharge Of salt from
the Colorado is equal to 20 tons an
nually to each square mile drained
by the river. but salt in Elm Fork of
Red River is equal to $50 tons per
square mile of area drained. The
same river discharges annually IT,
600 tons Of magnesium chloride.
1853. 00Otons Of Epson salts. $50, 900
tons Of gypsum, and $4,000 tons of
lime. These quantities, too, are
considerably greater than those

MOORE CASE DRAGs.
Question of. Allowance to Mrs. Osen-
berg Still Being Tried.

ct am going to leave her this
place-the homestead, I understood
him to mean-and money enough to
pay the taxes on it as long as she
lives"
That was the intention of John w.
Moore as told to David L. Hodson
concerning Ellen Osenberg, who is
suing the estate of Mr.. Moore for
$6,85 which she claims as compensa-
tion for caring for him during the last
thirteen and one-half years of his life.
Hodson, an old man who had been
a close friend of Mr.. Moore, was for
a number of years just preceding
Moore's death, a Waterman for the
Santa Fe at the Eighth avenue cross
ing of the tracks. He was called to
the witness stand today by the plain
tiff's attorneys.
The homestead property which he
referred to was decided to Mrs. Osen-
berg along with two small houses be-
fore Mr.. Moore died. The will, how
ever, still carried the cause providing
her life estate in the home property
at 1900 East Eighth avenue.
He further testified to the advantage
of his cross examiners by saying that
he had often gone to care for the old
man and at one time during Novem-

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Hale, the Republican leader and chair

Stating that the pension. postoffice,

1T CAUSES A RIOT.
Woman in Harem 81 irt Mobbed in the
Streets of Paris.

Paris, Feb. 24.-Incidents of public
disturbance accompanying the appear
ance in the streets of women wearing
the new trousers skirt occur daily.
The avenue de L'Opera was the scene
of one of the most serious outbreaks.
The woman, having been surrounded by
a laughing jeering crowd was unable
to proceed, and a man, taking a6van-
'tage of the situation purchased a basket
of eggs from a dealer in a side street
and distributed them among the other
men who in order to show their disap-
prevail of what they considered unlady-
like conduct, pelted the helpless wearer
of the new garment until a squad of
police interviewed and aided the wo-
man to escape.
Doubts appear to have arisen among
the leading Paris dressmakers as to
whether the skirt will be adopted by
women as a general fashion. But few
have been ordered thus far and these
have gone chiefly ito women from
abroad who were shopping here and
wished to take home the latest SEN
sation. Many have been sent to Amer
lea.

AN EXCELLENT CONCERT.
Dethier-Beebe Recital Proves q Mu-
steal Treat.

Miss Carolyn Beebe, pianist, and Mr.
Edouard Dethier, violinist, appeared in
concert in Topeka Thursday night at
WaShburn chapel under the manage
ment of Loudon Charlton. The pro-
gram consisted entirely of sonatas well
chosen and skillfully rendered. Mr..
Dethier is a native of Belgium and re-
ceived his musical education in Europe.
He has won the appreciation of the
American public, who recognize him as
a tec,-nician and interpreter of ability
His handling of his instrument is mas

the program last night brought out to
a satisfying degree, the manifold beau
ties and emotional qualities of the
sonata form.
Miss Beebe plays with excellent ex-
ecution, with spirit and understanding.
Her work attracted as much attention
and received as much favorable COM
ment as that of the soloist. It was
full of warmth and richness and evil
denced real musical feeling. The big
gest number on the program was
Grieg's G Minor sonata, consisting Ct
three movements, intricate in design
and bearing the strongly marked char
acteristics of northern music. The
other numbers of the program were:
Sonata in E flat minor by Bernard;
Sonata in d Minor by Brahms; Sonata
in A Minor, by Fevrier, and two encore
numbers, the first, Schumann's D
Minor Sonata, and a Saint-Saens SON.

Der and December of 1908 had re-
manned with Moore a month as nurse.
He said also that Moore had often
walked from his house up to his
watchmans station and talked to him
for an hour or more. These state
ments contradict those that Mrs.
Osenberg did all the nursing of him
and that the old man was unable to
help himself.
The old man created some excite
ment by stating that he had sent his
bill of $35 for nursing Moore to Wash
burn college.
have raised the argument that the col
lege authorities were nursing the old
man along until death should leave
them his money as his will provides.
Upon a more detailed questioning,
however he said the bill had been pre-
sented to James F. Griffin, who was
appointed by Probate Judge Schoch,
executor of the will. Griffin is treas
urer for the college, however, and in
this manner the witness had been con-
fused.
A. NJ. Russell, an old soldier and
member of Lincoln post G. A. R., as
also was Mr.. Moore, testified that
Moore was in bad health for a long
time and that he, as a member of the
relief committee, had occasion to see
Mrs. Osenberg taking care of the sick
man.
The defense sought to show the lib
crafty of the deceased Mr.. Moore by
exhibiting two checks for So which had
been given Mrs. Julia Dice, an Osen-
berg witness, and her mother. Objec-
lions by Mr.. Shenck to the question
whether these were presents were sus-
tanned by Judge Dana and the Jury
are left to take the suggestion that
the old man was not stingy as repre-
scented.
An important witness of last even
ing was Canon A. K. Pooley Of the
Episcopal church. He testified that he
knew Mrs. Osenberg was in daily at
tendance upon Mr.. Moore and that
Moore had told him he intended to re-
pay her in his will. He estimated the
cost of such nursing as Mrs. Osenberg
gave to be at least SIS week.
