ment to the Constitution, which requires
that private property shall not be taken
for public use without just compensa-

such Improvement will belong absolutely
to the United States.
The above statement applies to that por-
ton of the river not included in the i'm
m ediate frontage OF the city of Washing
ton upon it. The special features of that
frontage require separate considera ion.
Since then Mr.. Taggartehas made a
report on the frontage Of the city Of
Washington, which was printed as SEN

gress. first session. n synopsis OF which
| is as follows:
1. BY the cession from Maryland OF
territory for the armament seat Of the
government Of the United States, title
| to and dominion over the shores. bed AID

other obs .ructions cctlld not be lawfully

2. The title Of the riparian owner end
ed at the line Of high water. where that
Of the United S.ate8 began. The only
rights to which the riparian owner was
exclusively entitled ps' virtue of his stu

his benefit and which it might destroy

the right to accreticns to his land: that
| is. additions gradually and imperceptibly
made to 1t. Beyond the line Of high wa
ter and on the shore adjacent to his
| land and in the, stream the riparian
owner had the same rights only as other
members of the public.
The acts of Congress Of 1890 and 1871
accepting the cession by Maryland did
| not, in terms. authorize the laying out
Of the city Of Washington. The Com
missioners, provision for whose appoint
ment was made. were charged with the
district, under the direction Of the Presi-
dent; and were authorized thor to ACQUIRE by
as the President might deem proper 'aor
the use Of the United States" and to
of Congress, the President and public Of
fees Of the government.
Provision for laying out the city upon
lands held in private ownership was made

put over a pretty good one on the
Oklahoma Board of Agriculture,
1t seems that in the contracts for
the artesian wells it was stipulated
that the drilling was to begin on
June 1st. AS some of the machin-
cry had not arrived, the contractors
at Hooker took an ordinary post
hole auger and with that dug a hole
on the spot chosen as location for
the well. Two members of the
Board, who are drawing a salary
of Sc a day to guard the interests
of the state in these contract, it is
said, stood by and observed the
play made by the contractors to
hold their contract.

Haskell County Murder.

Our people were shocked by
hearing that E. o. Bellamy had
been killed that morning about 8
o'clock by B. F. Hartley, a neigh
Dor living in northwest Haskell,
in a fight which occurred on Bel
lamy's land a half mile north of
his house. The trouble arose over
Hartley's cattle which are suppos-
ed to have been trespassing on the
Bellamy land which had been sown
to wheat. The eleven year old
son of Bellamy was driving the
cattle to the house for the purpose
of holding them when Hartley
came on the scene and started to
drive the cattle back. Bethany,
who was some distance away, then
came up and a fight ensued in
which each man had a knife, Hart
ley finally disarming Bethany,
who then secured a piece of buggy
top brace which his little son had.
After he had used it on Hartley a
time or two it was taken away
from him by Hartley, who then
struck Bellamy on the right side
of the head with it. He then went
nome and Bellamy told his son to
run for his brother and have him
bring the buggy to take him home.
When they got back he was dead.

Quite a lot of opposition to the
bonds has sprung up, without any
apparent campaign against them.
The general fact that we need a
bigger and better waterworks sys-
tenn is generally admitted, but
there are several excuses for not
voting the bonds that are going
the rounds this week. One of
them is that the amount is not
large enough to insure the system
being extended to all parts of the
city, and another is that no expla-
nation has been given as to how
the money will be spent. We do
not believe that the first objection
will gain sufficient strength to de-
feat the proposition, but it is Civ
en- more as an excuse for not sup
porting the bonds. If we can car
ry the first issue for $50, 900 there
would be but little doubt about
carrying more bonds for water
works, if the need of more money
becomes apparent. We must have
a start toward better system or
we will have the same old thing
the rest of our lives. The second
objection will not be taken seri-
ously by any great number of
people, for the town as a whole
has enough confidence in the re-
cent council to trust the matter to
their judgment. Don't let any
gumshoe politician put it over you
on this waterworks proposition.
We need a better plant here, and il
needs your support.
