Deputy Un'tcl States Marshal Kllcr
brought In a couple of youthful postolllce
burglars jestcrday. They were Rolla B. and
Roy D. Taylor , cousins , aged 1C years. Their
homo Is nt Wlota , la. A few nights ago
they broke In'o ' the poatoffico at that place
and appropriated a lot of stamped envelopes
and lead pencils. The parents of the bojei
discovered the stuff In their posKsolon , and
after a little questioning Induced them to
tell the truth about the .matter. The prop
erty was returned to the postmaster , and that
Individual , concluding that the bojs stood In
need of greater punishment than they were
likely to receive at the hands of tuolr pa
rents , filed an Information before a local
Justice of the peace , and had them arrested
upon wairants charging poatofllco robbery.
Ilcforc the case came to trial the postmantcr
developed another Idea which led him to the
conclusion that a country Justice was not
the proper official to hear the case , and ho
wrote to the federal authorities here. Their
arrest by the federal officer was the re
sult.
Commissioner Stcadman heard the evi
dence jestcrday , and concluded not to dis
pose of the cases until he had consul teil
Judge Wcolson when ho arrives hero next
week. The bojs wore- accompanied by their
fathers. One of the Taylors was ableto put
up the required bond to secure the tempo
rary liberty of his son , but the other was
unable to do BO. The boy , however , was
taken to his home by Deputy Marshal Hllcr ,
and vvlll remain In hla custody until ho Is
wanted here. The Inquiry yesterday devel
oped the fact that the boja did not break
Into the poRtodlce , but got In by taking ad
vantage of somebody's carelessness.

JEFFERSON CITY , Mo , Jan. 9. Governor
Stone's last message , presented In each
branch of the state legislature , relates al
most entirely to internal affairs. Of train
robberies , the governor has this to say :
"During the last three jcars several of
thcao crimes have been committed. Trains
have been stopped and cxpiers cars rifled ,
and on ono occasion a conductor vvaa shol
and seriously wounded. I care neither moro
nor less for railroads and express companies
than for other corporations or citizens , bul
the crime Is ono which calls for more than
ordinary attention , and the necessity for lla
suppression Is so great that It should be
visited by the meat extreme punishment. II
la a cilmo peipctratexl by masked dcspcia-
doca , who go prepared to commit murder , 11
It Is deemed necessary cither to success or
escape. It surpasses all othcro In Its det
rimental effect on the state. When such
crimes occur with frequency an Impression
becomes w'lely ' current that life and prop
erty arc unsafe within the Jurisdiction where
they prevail. H Is a crlmo which should be
absolutely extirpated. That cannot bo ac
complished by penitentiary sentences. The
thirty-eighth general assembly , alive to the
Importance of the subject , made the crime
a capital offense. The Infliction ol
capital punishment , however , was left to the
discretion of the Jury. Several convictions
have been had since the enactment of the
law referred to , but only penitentiary sen
tences Imposed. In my opinion the men who
perpetrate this crlma should bo hanged , and
I believe the law should be so amended
na to provide that every person convicted of
It should suffer death. The govcrnor'should
also bo authorized to offer a reward of at
least $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of
any person guilty of the offense. The meas
ure I propose Is severe , but this crime should
not be permitted In the state , and milder
remedied would not be sufficient to prevent
It. "

Captaln Hiram M. TTilttcndcn of the en

Is visiting Wyoming rand Colorado , arrang
ing the prcllmtnarrcj ) for survcjs during
the coming season of a alto In each state
for n storage rcservftjr o be constructed by
tfio general government to determine In n
practical way the licstrablllty of Irrigation
of arid lands In the vjcsl by govcrnmcn
aid. The appropriation , for these survcjs
was secured at the ln session of cons'- : .
by the Wyoming nnd Colorado senators
who succeeded In h.a\lng the appropria
tion Included In theirlvcr and harbor bill.
No act of congress i-hns aroused BO much
Interest In this stntb ( is the ono making
thla appropriation 'hud the engineer In
charge ot the survey ( Captain Ohlttcnden ,
Is receiving suggestions ot feasible sites
In many parts of the state. One of these
sites Is In the famous Illg Horn basin ol
northern Wjomlng. The residents of that
region want the government to build n stor
age reservoir near the head of Owl creek ,
n tributary of the Illg Horn river. H Is
stated by them that at ono point on the
creek the stream flows through n canyon
1,000 feet deep. Where It emcrgss the val
ley widens until It Is more than n mlle
ccross and continues at this width for sev
eral miles , when It again closes , forming
n second canyon several liundrenl feet deep
nnd very narrow. Hy building a dam In
the lower canyon on Immense reservoir
would bo secured with capacity to Irrigate
the forty miles of fine farming lands which
form the v'alley of the stream from the
mouth of the lower canyon to the Dig Horn
river.
During the past year a largo number ol
settlers have taken up land In the Owl
creek valley , the land being as well adapted
to agriculture as nny In the I3lg Horn basin.
If the waters of the stream were Impounded
the settlement of the entire valley , for a
distance of forty miles , by * actual settlers
would follow at once. The Illg Horn basin
residents will endeavor to have an examina
tion of this site made before a final se
lection is made.
The residents of Laramlc arc taking steps
to have a reservoir site on the Illg Lara-
mlo river considered by the government
engineer. U Is claimed by the Laramlo
pcoplo that preliminary survcjs of the site

largest reservoirs In the west. The basin
which Is proposed as a reservoir Is eight
miles long , two miles wide and forty feet
deep , nnd would contain 17,000,000,000 cubic
feet of water. The supply would bo secured
from the nig Laramlc river , the flow of

KANSAS CITY , Jan 8. Joseph Boulanger ,
n halfbrced OsaGO Indian , came here from
Elgin , Kan. , and announced that ho would
Immediately bring suit to recover forty-two
acres of land In the heart of Kansas City ,
now worth between $40,000,000 and $50,000-
000. The land was bought by the government
In 1832 from Colllsc Montardcau , a French
trader , who was the grandfather of the
present claimant. Doulanger Is a prosper-
ona farmer and has lived In Elgin for years
Ho chows apparently Indisputable proof of
his relation to Montardcau.
On March 19 , 1S94 , Iloulangcr read In a
Kansas City paper of the filing of the patent
granted to Colllse Montardeau by President
Andrew Jackson , whose signature was
affixed by A. J. Donnclson , his secretary.
The land was paid for at the land ofllco of
Lexington. Uoulangcr claims that hla grand
father , being Ignorant of legal forms , had
never filed the patent .and that the trans
fers of the property slnco then have been
Invalid. Ho has clnce- secured power of at
torney from all the other heirs , mostly his
cousins , and is now determined to push hla
claim.

CI1IOAGO , Jan. 8. The case against Johr
A. Hanloy tor violation of the Interstate
commerce law prohibiting rebates was ar
gued today and vvfcs sent to the jury at tin
close of the afternoon session.
The government placed on the stand Ed-
vrard Wilder , secretary and treasurer of the
Santa Ko railroad , to Identity the minute
book with rtsrcct to the change of name
of the corporation February 24 , 1S93. Mr ,
Wilder did not prove an exception to the
lack of knowledge dlsplnjcd by the railroad
olllcIiUa who have preceded htm on the stand ,
Ho was not positive that the book In ques
tion was the otDclal one. It resembled the
Garni" , he said , and It 'contained the minutes
of the stockholders' meetings. Ho could
recognize some of the writing In the book
as the personal work of his predecessor ,
C. W. 1'lorcc.
Judge Grosscup was evidently under the
Impression that Wlldcr's official position aw
the manifest character of the book were
ample proof of Identification , for ho allow ci
< ho same to bo admitted In evidence despite
Attorney Forrest's objection.
General Illack led off the argument for
the iirosccutlon. Ho was stopped as he
was getting Into the midst of his speech b >
an objection of Attorney Forrest. Genera
Dlack demanded of the court that he bo no
Interrupted In such n manner during his
address.
"Let Mr. Forrest have an exception to
everything I say , but do not let him In
terrupt mo. "
The court told Mr. Forrest that he could
Jot down his objections and they would bo
allowed , but the general must not bo In
terrupted.
The arguments of the attorneys were fin
ished early In the afternoon , and Judge
Grosscup began the delivery of his charge to
the Jury. It was the general opinion that the
charge was moro favorable to the defendant
than against htm.
The court drew the distinction between
the piyment of a rebate and the understand
ing that a shipment was made nt a less rate
than the regular one. Ho said Habley was
not on trial for the pa > ment of a rebate , but
for agreeing to a deviation from the regular
rate of shipment , and that this fact must
bo homo In mind by the Jurors. The giving
of a rebate was not a crime alone , unless It
was established that there had been an
agreement at the time of the shipment.
"If , " said the court , "Hanloy had no
knowledge of the original agreement , then
the payment of the rebate was not a crlmo.
Taylor , If jou believe him , connects , Hanlcy
In some way with the transaction relating
to the rebate. If Taylor's testimony Is broid
enough to carry Hanle > 's willful and know
ing conduct back to the original Agreement
concerning the shipments , tjicn the question
Is doubtful matter.
"Tho Jury should with great caution Inspect
the testimony of a participant In crime. It Is
better that such testimony bo corroborated
In every point. The point in this case Is
the corroborotlon of Hanloy's connection
with It. You are at liberty to believe Taylor
without corroboratlon. I find It my duty , as
a Judge , however , to caution you against
easily believing without corroboratlon a man
who has been a participant In crime. "
The Jury retired at G:30 : , with Instructions
to return a sealed verdict. They reached an
agreement within ten minutes after leaving
the court room , but Its nature will not be
definitely known before morning. It Is the
general opinion that Hanlcy will bo acquitted.

Traolliin Men Plaice 11 1'erNlMctit Ile-
iiiiiiul , but Only Ten Are Sold.
CHICAGO , Jan. 8. The roads of the cen
tral passenger committee are somewhat sur
prised at the manner In which the traveling
men of the country are acting In regard to
the Interchangeable 5,000-mIle tickets , for
which they made such a persistent demand.
For months the traveling men , Individually
and through their organizations , kept after
the roads as though it was a matter of life
and death that they should bo granted thin
particular sort of a ticket. The central pau-
songcr committee- , after agreeing to the
sale of the tickets , organized a bureau for
their sale , and placed Chairman Donald of
the committee In charge of the bureau. Every
arrangement was made to meet a heavy sale
of the tickets , and repeated notices were
made to the effect that they would bo on
sale on January 1. Up to date there have
been Just ten tickets sold , and the demand
ban shown no tlgns of Increasing The west
ern loads , which have been standing out to
sec how the matter would go after the sale
had been commenced by the lines of the
central passenger committee , arc not much
Impressed by the manner In which
the traveling men have been buyIng -
Ing up the tickets which It
was alleged they so badly needed , and It Is
altogether likely that they will not hasten
their action regarding the sale of the tickets
If there had been any heavy demand for
the tickets placed on sale , It Is almost
certain that the western lines would at
their coming meeting In this city have placed
the tickets on sale.
Official announcement was made today of
the appointment of W. J. Black as general
passenger agent of the Atchlson , Topcka &
3anta Fo system , to succeed George T.
Mlcho'aon , resigned , with headquarters at To-
[ icka. The appointment takes effect on Feb
ruary 1 , on which date the ofllco of assist
ant general passenger agent at Topeka , now-
held by Mr. Dlack will bo abolished.

DBS MOINKS , la. , Jan. 8. ( Special Tele
gram. ) A conference of local and division
'relght agents , representing most of the
leading railroads of Iowa , was held here
; oday to consider the proposition of feeding-
n-translt rates for live stock. The proposi
tion Is that the roads allow lovv rates with
fcedlng-ln-translt privilcgca on stock , BO
.hat cheap stock can bo brought In from the
west and southwest to eat up Iowa's sur-
ilus corn. Tbo state haa lo&t half Its hogs
jy cholera and Is very short of cattle. Corn
and other grains are so cheap that they are
lardly worm moving. The demand Is for
stock to consume the grain.
The railroad men dlscufscd the matter and
decided unanimously that the proposal was n
good one. They will send a delegation to
Chicago , accompanied by representatives of
the Iowa Uailroad commission , which has al
ready cndorecd the proposal , and reprcseuta-
lvc'3 of the lown farmers , to urge that the
rates bo granted at once ,
It was admitted that careful restrictions
will have to bo arranged , but the general
plan Is regarded as a solution of the present
mslnera troubles of the state.

MlleN of tile 7,11 } tier /.ee.
Holland has determined upon a gigantic ,
engineering feat the reclaiming of 7S7
leiuaro mllrs of land now Ijlng under the
Zuyder Zee. night hundred jcars ago , re
lates the Literary Digest , all of Holland con
tained but COO square miles of land , or less
than one-third the area of the state of Dela
ware. Gradually , by means of great dykes ,
land has been reclaimed until the present
area Is nearly 13,000 square miles. This is
more than twenty times the original area.
The now work Involves the construction of a
dam twentj--seven miles In length. The
line will run from a point near Hcldcr , which
Is north of Amsterdam , to the Island of
Wlerlngen , Then from the east end of the
Island , which Is ten miles long , connecting
at a point Just south of Workum. The djkc
will measure thirty-five feet at the base
tapering to eight feet at the top ,
The til's t task Is the driving of two row a
of piles on clthir side of the proposed dylco ,
forming a passage flfty feet wide. Against
these there will bo packed bags of sand un
til two parallel embankments are raised
above the sea level The water vvlll then bo
pumped out of this arena and a dry canal
formed from shore to shore Hero on the
bed of the sea the djko will bo built of solid
masonry. Behind the wall will bo a bank of
earth , bound with willow twigs In a series
of basket-work. For the drainage of this
great basin colossal windmills are to bo con
structed , 200 feet In height , with arms sev
enty-five feet long. Thcso will raise the
water Into the network of canals which will
cover the reclaimed area. Nor Is this the
end of the task , The bottom of the sea Is
sand of llttlo fertility. Top soil and fertil
izers will bo brought from every Dutch col
ony , and in two or three * generations the
lopresslons will bo brougjit to the level of the
canals. Where once the sea flowed unre
stricted there will bo green gardens and
farms , dotted with cottages and towns , and
canals covered with heavily-laden barges.
Holland vvlll have spent $50,000,000 In com
pleting this enterprise , but she will have
added $000,000,000 to her national wealth , and
will have demonstrated afrcbh the moral
greatness of a people who , In the face of
such tremendous natural disadvantages have
the patience to compel earth to yield her
treasures.
