An American woman travelling in
England stopped one day at a little
country house. Chatting with the Wis.,
tor, the woman of the house told of
her difficulty in getting along and of an
experience she had had with a boarder
'"The first morning this man stopped
here" she said. 'he began to eat boiled
eggs very greedily. Egg after egg he
ate-three. four. five. six-and it was
only the yoIk of them that he swal-
lowed: the white he didn't bother with
at all.
when he dug his spoon into the sew.
enth egg my temper got the better Of
me, and said in a severe tone:
"'Don't you ever eat the white of the
egg, sir?'
"'Surely not. my woman he an
swered. The yolk is the bird; the
white Is the feathers. Would you have
me make a bolster Of myself|"

DID he KILL HIMSELF d
TO SHIELD THE REpU-
TATI0N OF OTHERS?

Did Warren Davis, postoffice clera
at Salida, who killed himself two
weeks ago because the government
had sworn out warrant for his ar
rest charging theft of a package con-
tanning $1,000 sent from the First Ma
tional bank of Pueblo to the Miners
and Merchants bank OF Salida, take
his cwn life to save the reputation Of
several leading women residents of
salida? r
The question is being asked by gov
ernment officers who have heard that
Davis was seen more than once in the
postoffice at night in company with
several women whose names weIe
thought to be above suspicion. They
give credence to it because of the re-
markable letter written by the young
man before he committed suicide in
which he protested his innocence, but

The package with the money was

well as other women who were sup
posed to be on friendly terms with the

LECTURE-RECITAL
AT METHODIST CHURCH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The lecture-recita. given at the
First Methodist ch lrch Wednesday
night by Prof. 7. Dillwyn Thomas of
the Scott School of Music of Pueblo
in collaboration with the chorus
choir OF the church was very de-
lightful affair, although not as large
ly attended as its high character JUS
titled. Prof. Thomas, whose musical
training was obtained in the conser-
vatories of Chicago, Philadelphia and
New York City. delivered a most in
teresting talk on The Music OF the
Sanctuary" in addition to singing a
number of solos. In the course of his
address he described what the music
of the sanctuary ought to be, and
what it ought not to be; showing a
nicely of distinction not always taken
into account by choir leaders in that
feature of religious service. His voice
possesses a quality and tone highly
pleasing to the educated ear and his
work as vocalist ia Exceptionally
fine and evoked deserved praise and
commendatlon from those who heard
him Wednesday night. Prof Thomas
is a musical educator of acknowl-
edged skill and ability and has been
a director in the conservatories of
music at Eureka college, Illinois;
Mount Union college and Hiram coll
lege in Ohio. and at Lawrence uni
versity in Wisconsin. 1t is to be hoped
that an opportunity will be afforded
him Of returning to cancn City in the
near future in order that larger
audience may be permitted to judge
the quality Of his work in his chosen
ait.

ARKANSAS VALLEY
DITCH RIGHTS MUST GO
TO TRIAL ON MERITS

Denver, March 21.-Coiorado ditch
owners, who claim priorities to the
use of water from the Arkansas river
and the right to divert the water fo- ,
use In this state as against Kansas
consumers, must go to trial on the
merits Of the suit filed by the United
States Irrigating company, WyornA
ing corporation, in which it is sought
to enjoin 20 different ditch companies
in the Arkansas valley from an al
legged unlawful diversion of the wa
ter claimed to be owned by Kansas
appropriations,
Judge Riner CT the United States
district court so holds in an opinion
filed by him on Tuesday, in which he
sustains exceptions to the answer
filed by the Colorado consumers chal-
lengirg the jurisdiction of the federal
court.
While the United States Irrigatins
company was incorporated in the
state of Wyoming it is practically
controlled by Charles NJ. MacNeil.
Spencer Penrose and Clarence c.
Hamlin of Colorado Springs. On the
ground that the stockholders OF the
company were citizens of Colorado
the defendant ditch companies con-
tended that an Incorporation of a
company under the laws of another
state by citizens of this state did not
create such a diversity of citizenship
as would authorize federal court 10
take jurisdiction; that the purpose Of
the incorporators of the United States
Irrigating company was simply to
create a foreign corporation, whose
foreign citizenship would enable it to
go into a federal court in suits
against citizens of Colorado.
Attorney John NJ waldron, repre-
senting the United States Irrigating
company, filed exceptions to the an
swer Of the Colorado ditch owners
who challenged the jurisdiction OF the
federal court on the foregoing
grounds. Attorney waldron main
tanned that the incorporation of a
company under the laws of another
state conferred jurisdiction on the
federal court where the controversy
was between such corporation and
citizens OF Colorado. Judge Riner
sustained Attorney waldron at every
point.
The United States Irrigating com
pany. which has large land holdings
and operates a sugar factory at Gar
den City, Kansas, claims $50 cubic
feet of water per second from the Ar
kansas river under priorities of 1851
and 1882. BY DEGREES, entered in the
district court of Pueblo and other
southeastern counties from 1880 to
1893. over 5000 cubic feet of water
per second were awarded to appro-
priators from the same river in this
state.
Up to the present time the United
States Irrigating company has won
on every point in its suit against the
Colorado ditch owners. Now that the
suit must go to trial on its merits It
will be watched with keen interest by
irrigators in Colorado who divert wa
ter from interstate streams.

COUNTY DIVISION.

The county division committee
meeting at Shoshme last Monday
resulted in an alliance being formed
between Gooding, Shoshone and Ru-
pert. Dividing lines were discussed
and resolutions passed pledging each
of these places to work for division.
In this connection an effort will be
made To secure to each place one
representative or senator in the next
legislature. An executive commit
tee il to be appointed consisting oi
two members from each of these
towns and from Richfeld. Shoshont
demanded that she he given tn,

of the measure, but was done to
the less informed voter.
1t is to be regretted that Il mis-
fortune of this nature should befall
the town at this time when, as every
one supposed and were led to be-
lieve that we were on the brink Of
most successful season, with pros
poets of a large influx of strangers
within the next month or so. From
present indications the question Of
county division is coming before the
people of the county the coming fall
and our citizens should be united
instead of allowing little petty jeal-
ousies to disrupt them, and the ac-
tions Of some of our citizens upon
80 important Il matter a. Il bond
issue, will have Il tendency To seri-
ously hamper the efforts of our pro-
grcssivc citizens ON this important
question.

in defeating the highway PROPOSE
tion, and later severely criticized
the farmers in their efforts to pro-
tect themselves in opposing the ad-
dition Of more territory to the tract

with the development of the tract
but nothing that the farmers hav,
said or done in the past can ever
compare with the harm that thes'
few individuals have wrought Il

actions on Monday.
Since the polls have been close'

that several negative votes wer

trustees will lose no time in callin
another special election for thi
same purpose, when il will he see
