BORING FOR WATER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Henry Braun, who is in the city from the Lucky Star mine in Mineral Point district, states that he will be- gin boring for water to reclaim an extensive farming area, and for the present will desist in mining opera tions. In that country, quite a land boom is going on and dry farming is actively under prosecution. Limited acreage at the Lucky Star expert mented upon by Robert Burns estab- fishes the fertility of the soil, and MT Braun enters the new vocation in an enthusiastic manner

BILL INTRODUCED
 TO REIMBURSE DIR. DAY

WASHINGTON, D. C., April Is.- Delegate Cameron has introduced a bill for the relief of Dr. Warren [. Day to reimburse him for his ser vices and medicine furnished in the treatment of a large number of cases of smallpox during the epidemic in 1884. This old claim has been as proved by the department, but as there are no funds from which pay ment can be made, it has been brought before congress in the hope that Dr. Day can, in that way, be reimbursed for his outlay in service and supplies furnished during period of emergency twenty-seven years ago.

FULL CROPS ASSURED.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Emmet Newton, who returned yes terday from a trip to Skull Valley states that reports in circulation that the fruit and grain crops of that section had been destroyed. are erroneous. On the other hand, he says, the largest yield ever to the credit of that fertile region is as- sured. MT. Newton states that the dry farming implements which have recently been introduced at twelve different farms, are establishing their utility and through them a larger acreage and heavier production will be shown this year than by the old processes of cultivation. He is Opti- mistic over that region in its crop prospects.

A dispatch to the Des Moines News from La Crosse, Wis, under date of April 14, says:
 "While on her way with her family to board a train for Prescott, Ariz., and in apparently perfect health, Mrs. George A. HOsmer, 4s, was stricken with heart disease and ex- pired. Mrs. Hosmer was the wife of a contractor who is about to construct a slave mill for the Brewing com pany in Prescott and the family in- tended to make that city their nome until the work was completed"

MINING ACTIVE
(From Fridays Daily.)

Gilbert Ferguson, who is in the city from the LOgos mines country, near Mayer, states that there is more practical development than ever before in the district, and the general outlook is hattering for the making of several heavy producers. The re- cent discovery of rich copper ore on the Yavapai Metals ground, and the bonanza rating of the Blue Bell are inducements which attract capital to that field. The country is well To- eated, and all zones that show any mineral indications are under owner ship and development.

ACTIVE PLACERS.
From Tuesdays paiiyl

George Ellert, mention of whom was made a few weeks ago, as pass ing through the city with a dry washing apparatus, to work placer ground near Ehrensberg, has returned from his camp and is en route to his home at Ozark, Kansas. He states that operations will soon cease, ow- ing to the coming of warm weather, but that this fall he and brothers, will prosecute diligent work. He is elated at the prospects ahead and limited dry washing has given ex- eellent returns. The main difficulty is in stripping the cement formation to reach pay dirt.

Albert NJ. Hood and nephew, Fred Britton, who have been spending sev- eral weeks in Southern Arizona, ar rived yesterday, and will remain for several days, looking over the land possibilities of this section, leaving this morning for the Verde Valley. They are from Concord, N. H., md will continue their investigations in New Mexico before returning home.

NEW NEWS of
YESTERDAY

Many times in the last four or five
years of his life, | had interesting
chats with John Thompson, who had
gained national reputation as the or
ganizer of the first bank to take out
national charter and who was often
called the father" of our national
banking system. Mr.. Thompson, al
though past 80 years of age when
knew him, was a man Of great alert
ness of mind, a keen sense of humor
which he revealed by a chuckling
laugh--a shrunken little man physi-
cally, dressed always in such a way
as TO suggest a citizen of backwoods
district who had his Sunday clothes
on.
Upon one occasion | asked Mr..
Thompson whether he or Elbridge
Gerry Spaulding we're really the father
Of the greenback and the national
banking system.
IL am glad you asked me that ques-
tion," Mr.. Thompson replied, because
there is a great deal of confusion in
the minds Of the people Of this day
respecting the parts Mr.. Spaulding
and I played in the development of
our banking and currency system.
II am the father of the national
banking system and of nothing else.

CITY GOVERNMENT.

II WO important cities that have recently adopt
Il ed the commission form of government are
Lowell and Lawrence, Mass. The population of
Lowell is more than 100000 and that of Lawrence
is 85000 Four other Massachusetts cities, Glou-
cester, Haverhill, Lynn and Taunton have the COM
mission system.
Chelsea has modified form of the new rule 1t
had a board of control composed of large num-
Der of citizens elected from each ward to super
wise the administrative council but recently it was
voted TO abolish the board.
The ward representative system is still retained,
but the number of aldermen has been reduced to
nine In the other cities the new rule has worked
satisfactorily 1t now seems certain that our
Charter Commission will work out plan that will
probably embrace the best features Of both the
commission form and the present method
1t is understood that the commission has made
much progress, but that some of the members
fear that they will not have sufficient time to pre-
sent such charter as they would like to offer the
voters of the city. BY putting on a little more
steam they may be able to do so.
The people Of the city have begun to expect good
results from the work of the commission. The
draft of the proposed charter now under oonsid-
GRAFTON by the commissioners embodes many good
features
Certain it is that the public will be disappointed
If a comprehensive scheme for the government Of
the city is not the result of the abors Of the COM
mission but we have no idea that the commission
will fail to present charter that will not be wor-
thy Of the greatest consideration with probable
favorable action on the part of the voters.

THE INNOVATION THAT
LINCOLN DARED NOT MAKE

uEe these bonds as basis for national
bank currency.
"Spaulding, on the other hand, with
the Secretary Of the Treasury, Cover
nor Chase, worked out the plan by
which the government was authorized
to issue notes which would serve as
legal tender for the payment of debts
and which were mere promises of the
government to pay at some time or
other, without designating in what
way the payment would be made-thaJ
is, what kind OF money. These notes
were called greenbacks on account OF
the color used upon the back OF them.
Spaulding is therefore justly entitled
to be called the father of the green
back, for it is my understanding that
he was the first TO suggest that money
to Secretary Chase, and he as mem
ber of Congress, representing one OF
the Buffalo districts, and as chairman
of the subcommittee on finance, draft
ed the bill and piloted it through Con-
gress, so that it became a law.
"NOw, ! will tell you something in

the year 1864 and, as / always did
when in Washington, | called upon
President Lincoln. He semed very glad
to see me and we talked informally
for about and hour. In the course of
our conversation Lincoln said TO me:
Thompson, wish the country
would put up with something that !
was strongly tempted to do while
back. You know, Spaulding is a law

A THousANn COMPLAINTS.

THE representative of the Interstate Com
Il merce Commission, who is inquiring into the
business of the express companies, hearing test
Vmony in New York, has no lack of complaints.
About 1000 Of them have been filed with him and
among the allegations against the express COM
panies are double charges determinations and in
sufficient service.
The commissioner has notified the counsel for
the express companies that he may have access to
the letters of complaint, but the commission will
not tolerate reprisas against the complainants by
the express companies. The commissioner says
that when correspondence complaining of the
companies was given to them the express men
would bFing pressure on the shipper to withdraw
the charges. Witnesses before the commissioner
tell various stories in support Of their charges
1t looks as If the express companies would have
to walk a chalk line, but even so doing will not
halt the sentiment rapidly gaining ground in favor

nnEs THIs AppLY TO YOU?

A wELL-KNOwN man of the city, one always
( \ active in everything that makes for the good
of the city, said the other day that at no time IN
recent years we're there many things before the
people in an industrial way calling for their con-
sideration
There is the DUPONT hotel, the dupont boulevard,
the proposed city and county building, the ques-
ton Of getting new industries the river front agi-
taton and the proposed new city charter, besides
the subject of general improvement.
All these things are sufficient TO stir the concern
OF every lover of Wilmington. Certainly the city
is in a position TO move TO the front. One thing
needed is more civic spirit more interest in Will
mngton on the partof many OF her leading citi-
zers, men who because of their wealth and their
ability and their influence should be in the front
of every movement for the Advancement of the
city True. some of them interested, but others
are not Every man can think Of such persons
in Wilmington who are not doing their share They
lack public spirit. If they should put their
shoulders to the wheel there would be no doubt
about the city making tremendous strides One
of the greatest problems We have is the arousing
OF proper public spirit Don't YET a few men do

A TRuST OF DOCTORS.

II HE physicians of Moberly, Mo-, decided, ac-
l. cording TO reports to form a close trust
which will be more strict in its rules than any
labor union. They have agreed upon a scale of
prices, and each physician is to get the same pay
for the same kind of service. A newspaper that
mentions the name of any physician called in
special case is TO be boycotted and dire penalties
are threatened on any doctor that dares dsobey
the rules.
1t is not to be presumed that the citizens of the
town will submit to such a foolish attempt to
create a monopoly by the doctors. And all the
doctors will not hold to the agreement, for if they
do, the town will have to import some new physi-
clans
How ridiculous il is to attempt to place all the
physicians the same plan with the same charges.
Considering the fact that there are number Of
alleged medical colleges which attempt to qualify
men to practice medicine and which have the au-
thority to confer the degree OF M. D., the mere
fact that a man possesses that degree does not
mean that he is good physician that he is really
fit TO practice i'll people
The rule prohibiting the of the name OF any
physician called in special case is also not good
policy. The names of good physicians should be
known to the public in every possible way The
ethics of the profession is usually something en-
poyed to protect the incompetent and ignorant
physician who preys upon his patients and wants
to hide his bunders. And the Good Lord only
knows how many blunders are hidden
