One day an old farmer borrowed e mule from his neiehbor; after he had finished lis work he sent his fourteen, ,year-old son to take it home. The boy had gone aboIt haIf mile when the mule stopped and positively refused to go any farther. After the boy had almost pulled his arms oT, trying to get him to go, an old doctor came along and asked: Why. my son, what is the matter with your muleT"
 why, sir. can't you see, he has haIked." cried the boy.
 Well" said the old man. onening his case and taking out a bottle lab eIled "carbolic acid" well see what we can do for him." and he poured some of the acid on the mules back, and in much less time than it takes to write it the mule was galioping down the road at a rate he had nev- CT gone before.
 The bov looked up in surprise and said: Doctor, have you got any more of that stuff2"
 .Yes" answered the man.

to be the largest proposition OF irr1-
cation by pumping in the state. The

BURSTING TANK
CAUSES FLOOD

La Sale, Mar. 1S-That economy
in the wrong direction is often dis
astrous was proved to the Union
Pacific railroad company Friday
evening, when. after laying off the
two men in charge of the water
works, a draw head broke and be-
cause there was no one at the place
at that time. in 80 minutes the CO.,
900 gallons Of water from the tank
was emptied back into the wells.
The men at the coal chute, who
were given the added duties of
looking after the waterworks were
busy in another place at the time.
AS there was no water for the sta
tionary engine. it was necessary to
drop the fire from the fire box and
to call a live engine from the road
to pump the water back to the
tank.

"BUG" SPECIAL RECEIVES A
HEARTY WELCOME HERE

Interest in the agricultural special
demonstration train was not dimin-
ished in the least In Greeley because
the train had visited here early one
morning several weeks ago. The
largest crowd of the homeward trip
visited the exhibits last night in
Greeley and it is expected that when
the train returns for third and
last time tomorrow evening at $50
O'Clock there will be others who will
want to Investigate.
Thousands of farmers. business
men and women have visited the
train since 1t started from Fort Col
Inns nearly four weeks ago. The
trip is said to be the most successful
of any ever made by demonstra-
tion train in the state. Not only did
the adults take advantage of the OPP
portunityv offered, but the school
children were given n chance to see
what their state produced under
scientific direction.
Had not so many farmers been at
work in their fields there would
have been larger crowds throughout
the northern part of the state on the
homeward journey. Julesburs'
Sedgwick and Sterling are being Wis
tied today and after a number OF
stops tomorrow last visit will be
paid here. 1t has been suggested
that the mayor. councilmen. county
com mmissioners and the employees OF
MA, jutx thy
in a body. It is desired that the OIL
lcials Of all the towns visited view
the exhibit.

ROMANCE
FIGURES
WAS MAN JAILED TO PREVENT
DAUGHTERS MARRIAGE?
The LOVER HAS DISAPPEARED
Strange Story of Hudson Woman
Who Comes to Greeley to Get
Bail For Her Husband

Is tho arrest of r. N Miller. of
Hudson. on the charge Of stealing
some farm machinery. plot to
keep his pretty sixteen-year-old
daughter from marrying the man
of her choice and who it is alleged.
took advantage Of the girl under
promise of marriage?
According to the story told on
Friday afternoon by the mother of
the girl, the father being in Jail was
made an excuse on the part of the
young man to refuse to keep his
promise. Meanwhile he has left
for parts unknown and the young
woman is fearful that he will not
return.
The alleged conspiracy was hint
ed by the mother of the girl who
accompanied her daughter to Gree
ley in an effort to secure bonds for
the father. The girl was under the
impression that if her father could
be liberated her sweetheart would
keep his promise to marry her. The
mother declares that it is impera-
tive that the girl marry the young
man now.
Friends of the lover. 1t is said,
made every effort to break of the
match, but could find no reasonable
excuse. Then. 1T is alleged, a
trumped up charge was landed
against Miller and he was arrested
and thrown into the county jail un-
der $500 bonds. Following the ar
rest the lover told the girl that he
could not marry girl whose father
was a 'jailbird.
The girl and her mother went
back to Hudson to arrange for
bonds in the justice court there.
Now it is said that even If the
bonds are secured and the difficult
ties of the rather are adjusted, the
young man in the case will not re-
turn to fulfill his promise of marry
ing the girl.

CARPENTERS IRRIGATION
BILL STILL BEING FOUGHT

senate Thursday and was severely
attacked by Senators Cross. Ste
phan, Crowley and others from the
agricultural districts.
The Carpenter bill aims to repeal
that section of the irrigation act of
1901 which prohibits the impound-
ing of water in reservoirs when 1t
is needed for direct use in bitches
or reservoirs holding senior rights.
Senator Parrish presented an
amendment which provides as fol-
lows:
1.-THE owners or possessors OF res
ervoirs shall not have the right to
impound any water whatever in
such reservoir during the time that
such water is required in senior
bitches for Immediate use for direct
irrigation or for storage for agri-
cultural purposes in reservoirs hold
ing senior rights"
Against the Carpenter bill and
the Parrish substitute Senator Cross
presented q substitute. the erect OF

When the bill was called up for con-
alteration yesterday Senator Cross
moved the adoption Of his substi-
tute.

1901 should not be repealed. He
