Peter Kots, Into whose house Brown had
forced an entrance. Brown Was shot twlcs
In the head snd his physicians have no
hope for his recovery.
Brown's act In breaking Into Kots' house
Is uncxplalnable, except on the ground of
insanity. Brown was acting strangely in
the early part of the evening and Is said
to have been drinking quite heavily. Koti
lives in a suburb remote from Brown's
home and the. two men and their families
were entirely unacquainted. About I
o'clock this morning Kots heard a noise
downstairs snd, getting Jhis revolver, went
down to the drawing room, followed by
his wife, carrying a lm light. Kots de

of no explanation of his conduct, but the
supposing -is that in his bewildered con-

It will be impossible to closely estimate
the loss until the flood subsides, but It
will exceed $2,000,000. But three bridges
and part of a fourth of the seven below
the fulls remain and the cost to the
county ' to' replace those destroyed will
be at ' least 1600,000. Tho three bridges

All day thousands of persons have lined
the fulls cliffs watching the flood and the
police have had great difficulty In keep-

danger line,. All day long boatmen have
been at work rescuing people from the
flooded districts.
The suffering In the first and second
wards has been Intense, as It was almost
Impossible lo reach the residents here.
Several hundred persons were removed
from houses completely surrounded i.y
the flood and ready to collapse st any
moment. A dozen more of these housej
later collapsed and floated 4 down tho
stream.
The damage to mill property is chiefly
from the submersion of portions of th
plants and great quantities of products.
Thousands of men, women and children
will be out of employment for a long tlmo
and It seems altogether probable that
this flood will' cause to the city of Pater

property than the Are nearly two years

Democrats dominate Five for Mrhool
Hoard Xor Lose st tingle
Man.
Blissful harmony prevailed throughout
the democratic convention Saturday night
in Jacksonlan hall, held for the purpose
of nominating Ave candidates for the
Board of Education. Not a man in the hall
had to be carried out on a tttretcher. In
fact, not one was even, temporarily dis
abled. All, save the delegates from the
Third ward, wero In the hall, able when

give an intelligent account of what had
happened and the only reason the Third
warders wers not thsre was that they
walked out of ths hall In a body, because
they happened to hold views which did
not fully harmonise with those of the
i t est of the 'delegates.
.Hut then, harmony prevailed Just the
! ime--democfatlc harmony. It began about
two minutes sfter the chairman called the
i meeting to order. The only thing that kept
it . from lasting until morning doubtless,
was the fact that but about a dozen dele
gates were present.
The furore was over the discharge of
Mtsa Elisabeth Shirley from the teaching high and twelve teet wide. The start w(ll

tho plan would sweep the convention.
But suddenly one of ths delegates hap
pened to lose control of himself and
thought a thought.
"What s the use to condemn the school
board for discharging Miss Shirley for
entertaining a friendly attitude toward
democrats and democratic principles,"
shouted the man with the thought, "when
part of the school board was democratic?
That would never Vlo."
But there were a few delegates present
who wouldn't even subside at tills. Thsy

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. -(Special.) Mr.
F. It. Newell, chief of the Division of Hy
ilmgrauhy of the Geological Survey, has
returned to Washington after a two
months' visit to the arid and seml-srld
otstes, where he went for the purpsse of
personally investigating the different
methods of irrigation nnd looking over sites
that have been selected and are In progress
of selection for reservoirs. Mr. Newell In
summing up his sixty days In the west
bus authorized the following statement:
"It Is the purpose of the Geological Sur
vey to examine two or three feasible sites
for reservoirs In each of the thirteen states
nnd territories with a view of picking out
the nest site In the region affected by the
recent irrigation law and pushing the
same to completion. Already sites, have
been agreed upon In Arlsona, Colorado,
Idaho. Montana, Oregon snd Wyoming.
The sites thus selected should reclaim
1.000.000 acres st a cost of tl2.000.000 snd
mske homes for IS.SOO families, capable of
supporting themselves and having a sur
plus cf their products for sale. The people
who will eettlo upon these lands are the
best purchasers of manufactured articles
In the United States and spend the largest
amount per capita for transportation, both
in passenger and freight traffic.
With Water from Wyoming.
"Western Nebraska has some of the best
agricultural land In the country, which
can be watered In part, . at least, by
canals heading In Wyoming and supplied
by water from large reservoirs to he con
structed In that state. In fact eastern
Wyoming and Western Nebraska . arc in
separably Joined In any project for their
general development. The reservoir sites,
while located In Wyoming, will Irrigate
much splendid land In Nebraska. In short.
Wyoming will havo the reservoirs snd Ne- ,
braskarthe land.
"The topography of Nebraska is wholly
unsulted for reservoir sites, tha soil being
porous I sanCy. We may And some
plains basin similar to Greeley, Colp.. but
It Is extremely jouhtful. It Is our' Inten
tion to develop, the North' Platts river ssc
tlon of thewoOntry'to Its fullest "extent"
then we can find 'land enough upon which
to use the water.
"It is our intention to develop Nebraska
j to the fullest extent and our engineers are '
already at work In western Nebraska sur
veying the country and making maps show
ing the depth of water, etc. These maps
rot only show ths depth of the vrjtar, but
the height to which It will rise and tn a
general way give the probable quantity and
quality of the water In the western half
cf the state. Whilo the outlook for weif
em Nebraska Is not good for any largo de
velopment for deep waters becsuss most of
the good water Is very deep and will not
rise within several hundred feet ot thi
surface except In valleys, tho development
Is steady nnd more' lands subject to Irri
gation are being reclaimed every yes:'.
However, wherever there Is an opportunity
to continue the work on the deep water
question tho geological survey will sr.- '
deavor to develop them.
Bis; Projects Hnrtcd.
"The biggest of the projects already pret y
thoroughly outlined which the Interior de
partment will be railed upon to bul.d In the
next few years include the one on tho Salt
river in Arlsona, the flan Carlos river In ,
the same state being an alternative prop
osition; the Truckee river In Nevada and
the Big Gunnison tunnel In Colorado. The
Colorado scheme Is the biggest undertak
ing In the world at tha present time, the
purpose of ths survey being to construct a
tunnel through a mountain range, the tun
nel being Ave miles long and twelve feet
can operate at a time. Two parties w It
start simultaneously, working toward each
other, the maximum hsul being about to
snd a half miles. In addition to thes;
projects are ths Milk rivsr proposition in
I northern Montana, which will show a plain
j diversion of storsgs wsters, and ths North
' Platte in Wyoming, sometimes called the
j Sweetwater project. It Is ths Intention of
ths survey to commence work at tho mjuth
of the Sweetwater, where a navigable sup
ply of water can be secured ."
Opening for Shrewd Men.
Chief Newell, tti concluding his statement
",gned' wh,n'r u w"' b "cccssful or
net depends entirely upon the administra
tion. No strings ore tl'xl lp the appropria
tion. While there are upward of tic.oon)
already available tn the treasury for Irri-
j gallon work my Idea Is that the amount
available will run to the maximum and
then drop off. I do not anticipate as mui h
activity in the sals of public lands nest
year as there haa been this year. Of course
It will take a very largs number of men ta
work out the severs) projects ws have In
mind. These men will not be employed In
Washington but In the field snd directly
upon the work. Sectional houses will bo
erected for the proper housing of ths men
and they will stay with the work until
completed, it Is tho Intention of ths survey
to svold sn accumulation of ths clerical
force. It will be our endeavor to get to
gether a body of men wholly efficient and
clcsn cut snd who have been selected
through competitive civil service examina
tions. Two examinations will be he'd each
year, spring and full, snd young men who
have completed their college courses and
who purpose making engineering their life
work will find congenial employment In ths
survey, but when they do get In the sur.vey
they must stsy by merit. Tb-M men must
have some smattering of th law and somo
business ability lu I or. Junction with thntr
knowledge of engineering.
