section of the Interstate canal today. A
pedal train w run from Bridgeport
to the head gates and several hundred
people In wee tern Nebraska and eastern

J. Fields, who has charge of the entire
Pathfinder project, and John powers,
president -of the North Tlatto Valley
Water t'sers' association.
Th opening of this canal marks an
epoch In the history of. Wyoming an.1
Nebraska. The completion of the North
riatte Irrigation project -will add 350.000
acres to thf . Brodijctlve nrea of the sec
tions In Addition to the 1 BO. 000 aires
already under Irrigation. The irrigated
area In Colorado is estimated at less
than 2.500,000 arres so it will be appre
ciated what the event of today mean. -
The portion of the canal which was
opened today Is forty-five miles In length
and Its cost, exclusive of structures,
about KfiOO.OOO. It Is estimated that tho
two remaining sections will rost about
the same. . aAd with the reservoir and
lateral systems which are being con
structed by the government will bring the
total cost to about 13.500.000. '
On this project the government has
demonstrated that it can work as rapidly
as private enterprises. It being but ten
months sines the first dirt was shoveled
out nnd two years since tho surveys were
begun. Tho north and south sides of th
river from twenty, miles west of the
Wyoming-Nebraska line down to Bridge
port are under Ihe common reservoir sys
tem and the country thus opened up Is
equal or superior In all respects to north
western Colorado In soli and climate.

Chapman of Chicago, an expert, who waa
employed to examine the water works
and electric light system with a view to
the erection of a new plant or the en
largement of the present one, which after
twenty years of use ia In need of a gen
eral overhauling. Two propoaittona were
submitted; flrat, for the construction of
a new plant, using, however, the wells
at the present plant, the estimated cost
of which waa $S3,000; and aecond, the
reconstruction of the present plant at a
coat 'Of 169.000. The flrat plan contem
plates the building of a new plant at

crease of electric power over that of the
present plant. This plan seems to meet

WASHINGTON, May S. All of the minor
amendmenta to the statehood bill are either
disposed of or In shape to be made the sub
jects of agreement at a mcment'-s notice.
At today's session of the conferees on that
measure the crux of the altuatlon waa
reached for the first time. The question
of the admission of Arlsona and New Mex
ico aa one state waa dlacusaed at length.
No proposition for a compromise was
offered and the meeting adjourned until
Tuesday.
In a general way It is known that the
compromise will be the Foraker amend
ment allowing the people of the two ter
ritories to vote on the question of being
Joined in statehood. Whether this vote is
to be coupled with the election for atate
officers or to be held prior to such election
is one of the questions yet to be decided.

They are the Muscles that turn Food

Well, a Cascaret acts on your Bowel

That's why Cascarets are safe to take

Also a number of others, slightly.
The trains were known as No. 18, the
Chicago mall, eastboun,d, and the first or
Chicago section of the Chicago and St.
Louis express.
With ' the exception of the last named
man all of thone killed were on the east-bound-
train. Nearly all of the Injured
were likewise on the eastbound train.
Canse of 'Wreck.
The collision came as a result of a mis
understanding of orders on the part of the
crew of the Chicago & St. Louis express.
The two engines ploughed Into each other
and were wrecked, as were also the coach
attached to the Chicago mall train, No. 18.
and Ave mall cara. The latter train on
reaching Altoona from the west had the
coach attached to 'the rear, but when it
waa aent south over the Petersburg branch
the coach waa directly back of the engine.
It carried about twenty-five or thirty pas
sengers for the east. It waa almost demol
ished. The wreckage covered the track for
a considerable distance, and some of the
killed' and -Injured were pinned tinder the
coach.
The news of the wreck was conveyed to
this city and the first orders of the railroad
officials here were to dispatch physicians to
the scene from Huntington, Williamsburg
and Hollidaysburg, and then to Bend wreck
ers to clear away the debris and render all
tha aid possible. No passenger on train
No. 21 was killed.
- Passengers Casght In Debris.
The pasaengera were caught under the
wreckage by the piling up of the mall cara
on the coach. This made it impossible for
those not injured to render any aid to those
pinned down by the wreckage until the ar
rival of the ' wrecking forces. Meanwhile
four died of injuries while under the mapa
of wrecked mall cara and four others sub
sequently died while being conveyed to the
hospital. -
Attached to the rear of the Chicago mall
were five cars of horses These cara re
mained on the track and were hauled back
in order- that the wreckers could reach the
debris. ' A train was made up of the cars of
train No. 18 not wrecked and the killed and
Injured were placed aboard and brought to
this city. The injured were taken to the
hoapltal and the bodies of the dead deliv
ered to undertakera to be prepared for
burial. - .
' The freight wreck at Union Furnace was
a bad one and a large force of men Was
sent to cloar the tracks. The first track
waa opened at 1:15 o'clock this morning,
and the Chicago & St. Louis express, which
figured in the Clover Creek Junction wreck,
arrived here at 4 o'clock and was sent
west.

inal proceedings on charges of polygamy.

PUNISHMENT FOR MIDSHIPMEN
Youngsters Found Gnllty of Haalngr
IlaTe Been Sentenced t'nder
!tew Law.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-After consulta
tlon between the officials of the Navy de
partment and Admiral Sands, the superin
tendent of the naval academy, the fate of
thirty midshipmen haa been settled.
When the hazing Investigation waa at Ita
height the special board appointed by Ad
miral Sands collected much evidence
against many of the midshipmen of which
tho latter never knew. Had the old law re
mained unchanged each of the boys would
have been haled before a court-martial
and If convicted if haxlng would have been
dismissed from the academy. , The board
worked In secret and consequently none
of the boys knew Just how far he had been
Incriminated by the testimony being taken
from their ranks. Meantime many of the
youngstera lost ground In their studies be
cause of the . secret apprehension under
which they suffered. Now, however, all
doubt has been removed, the new law baa
been applied and the auperlntendent of the
academy has been allowed to fix the pun
ishment to be meted out to each of the
midshipmen found by the board to have
been Implicated in hasing, The punish
ments consist of the imposition of demerits,
of reduction In classes, confinement to the
limits of the reservation and other penal
ties of minor degree, all of which have been
welcomed by the culprits as infinitely to
be preferred to the harsh sentence of ex
pulsion, which ha heretofore been the
only punishment permitted by law.

Private advices received here from China
relative to the anti-American boycott In

FIELD CLUB OPENING DAY I
Afternoon and Evenin? Greatly Enjoyed by
Members and Quests.
HOUSE AND GROUNDS ARE BEAUTIFUL
Committee Have Made Many Cliansres
and Improvements and Pro
Tided for Comfort and
Convenience of All.
With the Field club In complete readiness,
all the fields for athletic sports In shape
and the cltih house crowded by club mem
bers and their families, the opening of
the Omaha Field club was held Saturday
afternoon and evening. Dimmlck's or
chestra waa present all afternoon and
evening and the members came and went.
Inspecting the various and numerous Im
provements with critical eyes, yet all pro
nounced everything fine. When the club
house was hurledly completed last spring
the Interior decorations were neglected, but
a remarkable change has been wrought.
The entire Interior Is completely and artist
ically decorated, each room according to
a different scheme and the ' whole effect
Is rtch and splendid.
The first Improvement to catch the eye
aa one . enters the grounds, is an im
mense brick and. stone entrance, between
the old club hsruse grounds and the next
forty secured from the county. The
grounds are In charge of an experienced
gardener this season and he already haa
them artistically and tastily arranged.
Flower beds and neat wnlks are everywhere
In evidence In the old orchard which sur
rounds the club house, which make the
spot ideal for a country club.
Inspiring; Acene at the Grounds.
Aa one entered the grounds last evening
the grounds reminded one of an automobile
show, for the entire lawn was entirely
covered with the choo-choo cars. The club
house was crowded with the members and
their families who had turned out In their
best bib and tucker to welcome the for
mal opening of the Field club, which is so
much used by most of these during the
heated montha. Considerable space has
been added to the dining rooms by en
closing the large south porch in glass
so this can be utilised on state occasions,
such aa the opening.
Encomiums of praise were showered upon
the house committee, consisting or Dr.
Bherraden, Dr. Hunt. M. C .Peters. W. H.
Woods and H. B. Morrill, for the perfect
arrangements and the splendid table crhote
dinner which had been prepared for the
occasion. So many orders were received
for dinners that two separate dinners were
served, one at 5:30 and the other at 7:30,
over 280 people partaking of the repast.
Tennis waa played by the racquet wind
ers, although not In tournament form, and
no record was kept of the gamf-s. Two
picked nines played a game of base hall,
the bowling alleys were kept busy and th
golf links were well patronized. In the
evening, although the club house wnn
crowded to ita capacity. Dimmlck'a orches
tra, was placed at the end of the dancing
pavilion, and after an Informal reception,
during which time many acquaintances of
last year were renewed, room wns inutle
for tha d'.incers and the tine dunring pa
vilion was soon put to good use.
Some Cbantie In Hoonis.
The men'a cafe has been completely re
modeled. The room presents quite a changed
appearance from what It was lant senson.
The walls have been paneled and frescoed
and decorated with an old Dutch effect,
which Is unl:ue and beautiful. On state
occasions, such as the openings, the dub
house Is scarcely large enough to accommo
date the 500 members and their families
and the building and porches were taxed
last night.
The upstairs rooms has'e not been fitted
up, although the directors plan to have
that as the first Improvement for next
season. Many members would like sleeping
accommodations. The new forty for the
golf course Is nearly completed, but will
not be used until after July 1, or after
the Transmlssissippl tournament. '
The whole opening was pronounced
splendid by u 11 who attended and was
looked upon as a forecaster of the good
