DEMAND DEATH OF FIENDS.
Ask Legislature to Make Assaults on
Children Punishable With Death.
Chicago , Juyl 13. Moved by the pitiful -
iful story of a little girl who had been
assaulted by a hoodlum , Alderman
Herphy last night Introduced a resolu
tion recommending that the state legIslature -
Islature enact a law fixing death as
punishment for assaults on women
and children. The resolution was un
animously passed.
Prominent club women indorsed the
stand taUen by the alderman and do-
clared that they would support such
a law.
Prominent criminal lawyers declare
that such a law would be constitution
al and like measures may be found on
the statute books of many of the
southern states.
"Every newspaper I have read for
some time has told of the attacks of
some ilend on helpless women or
children , " said Alderman Herphy. "A
short time ago I was a member of the
grand jury when one of these cases
came up. A man , or rather a brute ,
had attempted to assault a little girl
not more than 10 years old. The little
one was brought into the Jury room
to give her testimony , and I shall nev
er forget her look of terror and her
sobs as she saw the man who had at
tacked her sitting before her.
"I resolved then that I would do ul1
In my power to prevent this awful
crime. During the past year crimes
of this nnturo have Increased , and
now It IB not safe for n woman or
girl to walk the streets after dark. "
Corporation Counsel Lewis declared
that such a law would bo constitution'
al if passed , and Is In favor of bringing
the matter before the next legislature.

Fertile Sections of the Southwest ,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for $5 Per Acre.
One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis
iana Is the fact that cleared land rents
for $5 per acre cash , and can be bought
for $7.50 to $15 per acre. It costs
from $ G to $10 nn acre to clear It.
"Hher Improvements necessary are
slight and Inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It
produces a bale of cotton per acre ,
worth ? 45 to ? GO. This accounts for
Its high rental value. Other crops ,
such as corn , small grains , grasses ,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.

DR. TASHJEAN FILES EXCEPTIONS
TO THE PROPOSED DITCH.
SAYS IT IS NOT NECESSARY
If Followed Through the Supreme
Court This Act Will Probably Suc
ceed In Blocking the Construction
of the Ditch for Some Time.
At 9ltO : last evening proceedings
were filed with County Clerk Hlchard-
son at Madison , which If followed up
might succeed In blocking the con
struction of the Corporation gulch
ditch for some time. The proceed
ings nro In the form of an excep
tion to the construction of proposed
It sets forth that the proceedings are
In violation of law , 'contrary to a apecl-
Hod act of the legislature , not In ac
cord with the constitution of the Unit
ed States , and maintains that the pro-
lioseil ditch Is not necessary to the
licalth and welfare of the public.
This was the only sensational fea
ture of the hearing of the ditch propo
sition during the day , and this was not
sprung until after the board had ad
journed and the members gone homo.
City Must Pay More.
The city of Norfolk drew n Blight
change In the plan of construction of
the Corporation gulch ditch before the
board of county commissioners yester
day afternoon , making the city re
sponsible for all the costs , charges ,
expenses and damages Incurred by
reason of constructing the ditch
through the city limits. The first esti
mate of the expenses to the city for
the construction of the ditch was
$1,270.00 , more or less , this to pay for
the handling of 12,700 cubic yards of
soil , more or less , but the order made
yesterday at the meeting of the board
adds to the city's expense the dam
ages that may bo Incurred by condemnation -
nation of property through which the
proposed ditch will run.
This Is not at all an unreasonable
requirement. The city should bo very
willing to pay all expense necessary
to deliver the flood to the county at
the corporation line , because the damage -
ago to city property each tlmo tliero
Is a heavy rain Is something enormous.
The ordinance asked for by the board
of county commissioners will without
doubt bo promptly passed at the next
meeting of the city council.
Nearly all the property owners in
terested In the land through which
the ditch Is proposed to bo cut , wore
present at the meeting of the board
yesterday either In person or by at
torney , and evidence was given as to
the value of property as each claim
was under consideration. Among
those present were Dr. A. B. Tash-
jean , W. E. Gleason , Robt. Schilling ,
J. A. Ehrhardt of Stnnton representing
L. J. Horton , J. W. Ransom represent
ing S. T. Nappcr , Rome Miller , M.
Mohr and Mr. Behler , L. M. Gaylord
representing Mrs. M. Long.

ers met pursuant to adjournment.
Present , John H. Harding , John Malone -
lone and Burr Taft.
The hearing in the matter of drain
age ditch No. 1 , at and near the city

On examination of all proofs of ser
vice of notice of hearing on said ditch
the board finds that due notice has
been given according to law to all per
sons Interested in property affected by

The board , after examlng the report
of the surveyor employed to make the
survey of said ditch , finds and orders
that the apportionment of the cost of

applies to or affects the city of Nor
folk and It is ordered that the same be
amended with reference to the cost of
construction of the ditch under con
sideration , as follows : "That the
whole cost charge , expenses and dam
ages be paid by the city of Norfolk
for the construction of that portion of
said ditch from station 0 to station
33 plus CO , a distance of 3350 feet , on
account of benefits to streets and al
leys In said city , " the said amendment
making said apportionment fair and
Just according to the benefits. Said
report was then approved and allowed
as amended above.
On motion the board after actual
view of the properties affected by said
ditch fixed and allowed the following
compensation for lands and lots ap
propriated for that portion of said
ditch from station 0 to station 33 plus
50 , and assessed the damages to the
lands and lots affected by said portion
of said ditch , on condition that the

RUMOR TO THAT EFFECT CUR
RENT IN NEW YORK.
MILWAUKEE COAST LINE A BLUFF
Strong Suggestion That There Is More
Than Words In a Northern Pacific-
Milwaukee Deal Is Found In Advices
Served Out In Good Quarters.
Now York , July 17. The old rumor
that the Northern Pacific may take
over the control of the Milwaukee has
again come In for a good deal of dis
cussion. There Is In this rumor n
pronounced degree of plausibility. It
Is inconceivable that the owners of
the Northwestern railroads cherish the
Idea of an Indellnlto competitive warfare -
faro to secure traffic , and the ques
tion arises ns to the sincerity of the
Milwaukee's plan to build through to
the coast. If the plan Is genuine , why
has it not made greater progress in
the many years it has been talked
about ?
Mr. Hill , on behalf of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific , once
bid $200,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds
'or the Milwaukee stock , and his offer
was turned down , whereupon he
bought the Burlington.
Coast Line a Bluff ?
The Milwaukee Is much better to
day than It was when Mr. Hill pre
ferred It over the Burlington as a feed
er and Chicago link for his Northern
Securities combine. Mr. Hill's friends
leclaro that today he would not con
sider an offer of $250,000,000 for the
Burlington. It is believed that he
could get the Milwaukee control at
5225 for. 4 per cent bonds guaranteed
> y the Northern Pacific , and some peo-
) lo say that the building activity on
ho Milwaukee is for the purpose of
forcing Mr. Hill to make such an of
fer.
Admirers of the Milwaukee declare
that , by applying his Burlington meth
ods to the management of the Milwau
kee Mr. Hill could make the latter
earn upwards of 20 per cent on Its
stock. Thus at $225 of 4 per cent
bonds for $100 of Milwaukee stock ,
these latter would be a safe purchase.
'If Milwaukee should extend through
to the Pacific coast as an Independent
line , It would be Illegal under the rul
ing of the Northern Securities case to
turn the property over to the control
of the Great Northern or Northern Pa
cific.
Hill's Friends Bulls.
The Northern Securities decision did
not contemplate the continuation of
the joint control of the Burlington by
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern , and soon one ofthe roads
must relinquish its interests in the
Burlington. It Is quite generally ac
cepted that the Great Northern will as
sume the full control.
A strong suggestion that there Is
more than words In the stories of a
Northern Pacific.Milwaukee deal IH
found In the ndvlcon served out In
1'ood qunrtorH that the Milwaukee lit
hound to Hell at $225 In a compara
tively Blmrt tlmo.
The value of any righto to milmcrlbo
for now HuuurltluH which might bo IH-
nuod to ilnnnuo n coast extension for
the Milwaukee hardly could ninUu up
the difference between the present
market value of I ho stock and the
