TALKS OF IDAHO AND I'lAniSSVESUE VrftrSJ: 1 now t give a clear Ilea of the situation Former Omaha Man Entbtisiastio Over tie States to the West. SAYS IRRIGATION MAKES GREAT WEALTH hum that Ian Be Had for the Taklnit la Made Valuable by Watering l tan's Great Mlnlng ladnstry. Wing B. Allen, former well known so ciety man and until a year or so ago as sistant surveyor of customs at Omaha, U In town on a visit to his old home for the holidays. After a year In the Rocky moun tain states he says Omaha "looks good to him." Although youthful In appearance, Alton Claims that his long residence in Omaha entitles him to recognition as one of the early settlers, his family having crossed the Missouri river twenty-seven years ago Christmas day. His father was Rev. Joshua Wing Allen of the Congregational faith, who preached In Michigan during the early days, until his health failed, when be was Induced by A. E. Touzalin, then general manager of the B. & M. in Ne braska, to move to Crete and edit a paper known as the Saline County t'nlon. After several years' successful effort In newspa per work he was forced by continued III health to give it up. For a' while there after he assisted Chancellor Fairfield (who bad also been a Michigan preacher) In soma of the business affairs of Nebraska's 8tate university. Ho was a frequent con tributor to The Bee and often occupied the pulpit of the old First Congregational church, then on Nineteenth and Chicago streets (sines torn down). In the absence of Father A. F. Sherrlll. Being a minister's son, Wing Allen was expected to turn out bad. In accordance with the well known rule, but surprise was great when he became a secretary of the Toung Men's Christian association during the days when Pierce C. Hlmebaugh of re vered memory was asking business men of Omaha to contribute 10 per cent of their Income toward the erection of the building bow standing at Sixteenth and Douglas streets. However, blood will tell, and Wing has gone to the bad at last. He has become a newspaper man. He says many a famous writer has come out of the sage brush plains and tho Rocky mountains; there is plenty of Inspiration there, and be baa been trying his hand at the busi ness. In a year he has traveled exten sively over Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Wyom ing, Idaho, Montana and Oregon and lins written much about those regions which baa been widely quoted. He Is particu larly familiar with Idaho and Utah, and this Is what he said about them yester day: "Empires" of the West. "Many western states are called by their enthusiastic supporters 'Empires.' That thought Is usually inspired by extent of territory. I coined the expression much used In the west recently, 'Idaho Is an empire,' but know that the term fits, be cause iaano covers as much territory aj comprises New York, New Jersey, Massa chusetts and New Hampshire combined, and has the most wonderful natural scenery and resources, developed and undeveloped, almost sufficient to feed the entire popula tion of the United States. There are greater opportunities for the acquirement at wealth and the founding of homes in Idaho today than anywhere else In this great land of freedom of which, also, Ida'uo, Is the freest. Great as hava been the strides of the state since It was admitted Into the union July 3, 1890, with a popula tion of 84,185, which has been increased to 200,000, its probable population today, the next two years bid fair to double the advance of the whole preceding period. In all the west, as far as agriculture Is concerned, the one great question la water and. Indeed, the mining industry depends upon water about as much as agriculture. In the valleys of the mountains, as out on the sage brush plains, and even on the lava and alkali deserts, almost anything from bananas to Jack rabbits can be grown If you ran get water on the land. In the mighty Snaka river, the beautiful Salmon river and their tributaries, Idaho possesses water In abundance for the whole state. Hereto fore the greater portion of that water has been emptying Itself Into the sea off the Oregon coast, but steadily, step by step, the settlers have been learning the engi neering art of getting water up out of the canyons and low riverbeds onto the land until ' at last the whole vexed question seems to hava been solved snd hitherto useless land Is being opened up to settle ment 100,000 acres at a time. It warms one'a heart to witness the resultant pros perity. There is land to be had for the taking, which with the acquirements of water becomes very valuable. A friend of mine bought a ranch on Wood river a year ago at $16 par acre. With a little more skill than the former owners, he managed to Increase bis water supply so that in six months be was offered first $45 per acre, then $60, both of which be refused. The best farm land In Nebraska Is probably worth $50 per acre. There Is farm land In Idaho worth $200 per acre. Idaho's Diversified Interests, "A page of The Bee would not cover sompletely one single item of Idaho news, rhe social conditions, the mining Indus try, the lumber trade, Just In Its Inctplency but , promising vast proportions, and the cattle and sheep Industries are Important things dismissed with an allusion. Idaho la an Empire! "While talking of Idaho I have been won- There's noth ing so bad for a cough as coughing! There's nothing so good cough as Ayer's Che Pectoral I foraT fC A cough means a great deal to young person, when there is a family history of weak lungs, with perhaps a case of con sumption Itself. Coughs weaken the tissues, congest the mem branes, and prevent healing. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral controls the congestion and inflammation, and the cough disappears.

Pom au.r. App,.u.m. LTomT "oss mere witnout exaggeration or bias. While one's life Is safe, one's business and friend ships are endangered by too free expression of opinion on public questions out there. I must retain some of mine while I try to tell undisputed facts. Utah is a most Intensely Interesting subject, of which the end is not yet, and some day, more than ever In tha past, the United States is going to waka up to tha fact and face a problem yet un settled, as It la unequaled. Utah Is a atate of the union. Utah Is a state of mind. Eminent men visit the place for a brief period and, leaving, publish their views to the world. It Is often mere guesswork on their part and their well-intentioned statements mislead the public. It Is Im possible to eliminate the religious ques tion from any reference to the subject, but at the outset I can say this: Leave Ogden In the springtime, travel south for some 100 miles through the Salt Lake and Utah Lake valleys; there Is no more Inspiring sight In all the world than the fertile, rich Mormon farms, with their budding crops of grain, the finest vegetables In the land and hardy fruits of the most luscious va rieties. Then the mountains are green (the summer's sun not having commenced working overtime), while from out of every canyon and almost every crevice God's purest water rushes out In volumes to lave the thirsty land. This la also true of Cach valley north of Ogden and of several smnllcr valleys In various parts of the stale. Then visit the great mlnlno- -nmn of Tark City on tho east, Bingham and Stockton on the wes, the Tlntlc district and the Mercur mines In tho southwest center or the state, and 'Frisco, Copper Gulch and Iron mountain regions In the southern portions. These mines give em ployment to thousands upon thousands of men and pour out wealth In dividends each year sufficient to give Utah the fourth rank as a precious metal-producing state or the union. These mines are growing In importance each year and may ulti mately tie tne salvation of tho state. For the farms cannot be considerably extended for lack of water, but there Is no limit to the possibilities of the mines. The farms are owned by the Mormons; tho mines are owned by the Gentiles. "peaks of Mormons. "I said Utah Is a slate of . mind. A slight prejudice, conceived through what I had read of Mormonlsm, wore away consid erably after I had spent a while In Salt Lake City. The blossoming desert and the sobered religious life of the people im pressed me. I was told that the Mormon church had renounced polygamy when state hood was acquired; that it was not prac ticed any more, and when I sought for In stances of the Illegal relation, of which there were many rumors. I, failed to detect them. Further, It was said that the heads of the church had ceased to use their In fluence for political purposes, and that the people, both Gentile and Mormon, had di vided on national party lines. This ay. peared to be the accepted view of the situa tion a year ago In the west. Today, how ever, through the culmination of the events of the late campaign, tho old fight Is on between the Gentiles and the Mormons, and It would not be surprising if the people divided on those lines entirely In all future political campaigns." BOSTOVS BARBER HEGl LATIOJVS. Board of Health Orders Sterilisation of All that Barbera Use on Customers. A special dispatch from Boston, May 5, 1900, to tha New York Bun gives as new reg ulations of tho Boston Board of Health as to barber shops: "Mugs, shaving brushes and razors shall be sterilized after each separate use therof. A separate, clean towel shall be used for each person. Mate rial to stop the flow of blood shell be used only in powdered form and applied on a towel. Powder puffs are prohibited." Wherever Newbro's "Herplolde" Is used for face or scalp after shaving or hair cutting there Is no danger, as it is antiseptic and kills the dandruff germ. BOY LOSES HS LEFT HAND Raymond nine Falls from Train on Which He Is Stealing- Ride. Raymond Cline, a 14-year-old boy living at 1619 Leavenworth street, fell from a train at Boulevard avenue yesterdar after noon at S:30 o'clock and his left hand was cut off above the wrist by the wheels and he was considerably bruised about the head and shoulders in addition. Fireman J.'M. Bual and others of a awltch crew sa tha accident and took the injured boy to Elev enth jmd Mason streets, where he was taken In the police patrol wagon to Clark son hospital. He was attended by Dr. Smith, the Union Pacific physician, and at a lats hour last night was reported aa resting easily. His condition is not serious. Young Cline, with several other boys, was stealing a ride on a Union Pacific train to South Omaha. At the place of the acci dent he in some manner lost his hold and fell between the cars. Only his hand fell across a rail. He lay between the rails while four or five cars passed over him. The train was In charge of E. Gorman, en gineer, and L. Robinson, conductor. Suspected of Murder.

THE OMAHA DAILY ItEE; SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1002. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Subcommittee Begins the Work af Beviiiig thi City Charter. FIRE AND POLICE BOARD IS PROPOSED Some Members of Committee Are . of the Opinion that Mayor Should Retain Control of the Two Departments. The subcommittee of the general charter commltte met Friday night and perfected an organization. A. H. Murdock was chosen chairman and J. J. Breen secretary. After the organization the charter was taken up and the members of the subcommittee went through twenty-two sections. A number of amendments In the sections were suggested snd noted by the secretary. When It came to the appointing of an ex cise board the committee differed to such an extent that proceedings were dropped for the time and the members adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. While some of the members of this minor committee favor an excise board, others hold that the mayor should maintain con trol of the fire and police departments, as baa been the custom In the past. The fact that only thirty men are employed In the two departments made It evident that there was no recesslty for a board of three or five to govern this small number of men. It Is expected that another meeting of the committee will be held Monday even Ing, when other matters may be taken up. In rase those who Insist upon an ex else board cannot agree with the others the proposition will doubtless bo referred to tho committee of the whole, composed of twenty-six members. Secretary Breen of the subcommittee said last evening that the committee would not be able to make a complete report to the meeting called for Tuesday night in the council chamber. "We will be able," said Judge Breen, "to report progress and show what we have done so far, but wo will not be prepared to make a complete report." Aa the present charter is a long one It Is expected that many amendments will be suggested and that it will take consider able tlmo to frame these so as to be in suitable form to present to the people. Then when tjls is done will come the ques tion of submitting the same to the legis lature. Few of the old-time politicians appear to be Interested In the charter Just now, as they apparently want to see what the pres ent committee will do before taking any steps. Interest Being- Paid. For the first time In the history of the city the local banks are paying Into the city treasury Interest on dally balances. Up to last night there bad been credited to City Treasurer Howe's account the' sum of $430.97. This amount shows that the banks are paying the city at the rate of 2 per cent on daily balances. In speaking of this matter Mr. Howe, tha city treasurer, said that next year the amount of Interest paid would be larger, as the present year has been a ahort one, ow ing to the fact that the new charter did not go In force until after the commence ment of the calendar year. This money received from the banks will be placed In the general fund and will help out considerably at this time, when nearly all of the funds are low. ' Waltlngr for Contractor. President Bruce McCulloch of the South Omaha Library board said last night that be had directed Architect Kimball to pre pare a contract for the construction of tho library building. J. H. Welse Is to be awarded the contract. At the present time Mr. Welse Is In Sheridan,' Wyo.. figuring on some government work at Fort McKen sie. "Aa soon as Mr. Welse returns." sail President McCulloch, "we will present the contract to him for signature. He will thtn be expected to get material on the ground aa rapidly as possible and commence con struction. Now that we have money in sight we propose pushing the work aa fast as possible." Wilcox Congratulated. Quite a large number of local Masons called upon B. B. Wilcox yesterday for the purpose of congratulating him upon his election to the high office of Illustrious po tentate of Tangier temple, Noblea of ha Mystic Shrine. Tho election was held Fri day night at the temple In Omaha. Mr. Wilcox la the first Mason in South Omaha accorded the honor of being chosen poten tate. Will Hold Maxwell. A request has been made by Masons from out of the city to hold William Maxwell here until his record can be more fully in vestigated. At the present time Maxwell Is serving a thirty days' sentence in tho county Jail on a charge of having obtained money under false pretenses. It is strongly Intimated by lodges In other stttej that Maxwell, or Walter Grey, la an Impostor and the plan Is to see that he Is sufficiently punished when he gets out of the Douglas dounty Jail.

OVERCOME BY GAS AND COLD Checker for Srvlrt'a Narrowly Escapes Death In told Moraae Warehouse. Marlon Arnold, who recently entered the employ of Swift and Company as a checker, had a thrilling snd narrow escape from asphyxiation in a cold storage warehouse, paradoxical as It may seen, a few days ago. Benumbed with cold and overcome with gas Arnold lay upon the floor of the warehouse unconscious when the door was opened by sn Inspector, who, fortunately for the in nocent prisoner, chanced to pass thst way on his rounds. Arnold had gone to the warehouse to check up for his employers. He did not lock himself Inside as has been reported, but was Imprisoned, accidentally, by some one from the outside, who shut the door not knowing Arnold was within. Of course It did not take Arnold long to realize hla pre carious position. Enclosed within a small area with the temperature about the freez ing point the realization of the proximity of death forced itself upon him. "I was beginning to get desperate," said Arnold, "when luckily I got my hands on the little charcoal stove In which waa a slight fire for the purpose of moderating the temperature. My first Impulse was to dump this fire out on the floor near the door In an effort at burning my way out of this possible death chamber. But my scheme did not pan out as I expected. In stead of burning a hole through the wall or door the fire smouldered and fumes of gas soon filled the frigid cell In which I was rapidly meeting my doom. There was noth ing left for me to do. I soon relapsed Into unconsciousness nnd when I came to It was two hours after my rescue by an in spector who, happily, had come to Inspect that warehouse. He works for the Leav enworth street cold storage house." The Inspector was horrified at the dis covery of a man's body prostrate upon the floor when he opened the door. Ho dragged It out and found there was life. Arnold was revived, as he says, two hours after his rescue from his perilous quarters. He was able to resume his work next day.

VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 27. The rebellion In Kwang SI Is causing a lamentable state of affairs In that province, according to mall advices rerelved from China. Lung Chou, a walled city of Kwang SI, was being besieged by the rebels when th last advices were dispatched. Nsnnlng, on the West river, was surrounded by rcH, who sent messengers to tho governor chal lenging him to flf.ht them sfter they had looted a steamer sent with provisions and money for the governor of that city. The province Is not only suffering by rea son of the depredations of the rebels, but also from those of the Imperial troops, who, when they have dispersed the Insurgents, ravage the countryside. The "braves," eager for loot and an opportunity to dis play the beads of rebels slnln In battln, make no distinction between boxers and peaceful Inhabitants. Crops are destroyed, accompanied by Indiscriminate pillage and acts of ssvagery. As a result instead of contracting, tho sphere of tho rebellion Is growing snd gaunt famine stalks through the land. Other rebel movements bsve been started In Kansu by General Tung Fu Slang, who defended the Chayoylng valley against tho Russians In 1900. General Ma has been sent against btra with a force of Imperial troops. General Tung Fu Slang hit 10,000 troops and large amounts of grain and stores at N'lng Holt, and, assisted by Prince Tuan, a proscribed Boxer leader, has begun a movement against Pekln In the western province. r Another troublesome movement Is re ported from Nanking, where Boxers sre said to be openly proselyting the men of North Kaing Su.
