All sorts of rumors were afloat as to the fate of the missing girls, but no de finite clew was obtained. Finally, Mr. Whalley offered the sum of 100 for information hading to the discovery of his daughter, whereupon a lay brother of the Danilov monastery claimed the reward, stating that the girls had been decoyed into the monas tery, and that his daughter was living here among the monks. The father went at once to tho head of the police, and after great difficulty suc ceeded in obtaining admission to the monastery.

Miss Agnes Mat toon, of Jacksonville, is visiting with the family of her nncle, Mr. Abe Matton, who has been serious ly ill for some t.me. Many mends are anxious, to' hear of his recovery. Miss Acnes also has manv warm friends in Drain who are glad to see her again. the British ambassador at St. Petersburg, who witnoni lunuer delay made representations to the Rus sian government. Yielding to this pressure, the Kossian government has orderd a stnct.inquiry into the outrage on the two young girls the fate of one being still in douut and the most holy synod, the highest spiritual authority in Russia, has sent a rfii.misi.ion to Moscow for the purjiooe. Since then another extraordinary affair has happened in KiefT, the grea center of orthodox religious fervor. Two students of Ilelsingfors university, a German and a Finn, were visiting the catacombs of the celebrated Peshchersky monastery, where lie the remains of some of Russia's oldest saints. With them was a boy from one of the inter mediate schools of the city. ! The German, on parsing one of the holy relics, . supposed to be the mummy of - saint formerly a- monk in the mon astery, observed, "I don't beheve this is a man," and, lifting the pall, discovered a wooden dummy.. Remarks of a simi lar incredulity were made as to the skull, out of which there is supposed to be a continual emission of holy chrism. When the party left the caves the boy noticed that the backs of his compan ions were marked with chalk. They had scarcely emerged when three monks ap proached them and asked the students o step aside for a moment. The boy waited some time, hut as his friends did not return he went home without them. The inquiries of the university authorities have only elicited from the Kieff police that they do not know 'what has become of the two students. It is asserted in Kieff that this is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Russian monks are not subjects to the general law, being punishable only by their spiritual bead. The result is that many of the worst characters have be come monks to escape theircrimes. The majority, howeter, are merely vaga bonds, fond of an easy life. A Walking Hardware Store. Oakland News.

Frdera! irrigation of the arid lands of the Wet refuses to work out on tne economical bais estimated when the lUusbrougti Irrigation law was passed by Congress. According to a statement niade by Secretary Hitchcock, the cost, instead of being 5 an acre, as has all along been estimated, will not be less than fll.66 an acre, and it is by no me ins certain that the expense can be kit within that figure. As the cost ol irrigation is to be added pro rat to the customary fl.25 an acre charged for pub lic lands, tle Western settler i not . cme the bargain he may have exj-ect-ed. The occasion for the discrepancy be tween the estimates made when the la a as under consideration and those now ma le by the governme.it experts is said to be attributable to three causes: First, tlie cost of $5 waa arrived at by averag ing the expense incurred by private cor jrations which had performed similar work, but it is now discovered that tne private companies have secured posses sion PI ail me Slies wurn rucnf tiou can be practiced, and Jthose which the government will have to improve are all of a more expeusive and difficult character ; s.-cond, the economical show ¬ ing made bv private conianie8 is due in manv instances to the temporary char acter of the work, which il has been in tended to replace with more permanent and expensive plants when Jhe profits liev-an to accnmnlate; third, when ton gress passed the In-iion U it incor porated therein a provision that all work should be done uu-er au eigol to tap it, and if this is done it will be come necessary later on to build a long er canal by which the St. Mary'a w ill be diverted ty the Marias River, not!.er tributary of the Mil c River, wholly in American territory. .

Fine Farm for Sale. and Six pounds of nails, screws, lead, iron, cartridge shells and other foreign sub stances were taken from the stomach of Fred Cerrow, a Michigan asylum pa tient, during the post-mortem examina tion held at Kalamazoo, last Friday. For years Cerrow had walked about swallowing metal, lumps of coal, small stones and brick dust with great avidity. Now dead, his body furnishes physicians with one of the most remarkable cases of its kind on record. Cerrow died of an ab sces of the liver, but this wascausel by the foreign substances in his stomach, which had dropjjed from its normal po sition and settled centrally over the bowels. The stomach contained the following articles: One 20-penny spite, 4 incites long. Thirty-two teu-penny nails. Seventy-nine 8-penny nails. Twenty-three sLii'gle nails. - - One hundred and eighty bent nails of various assorted sizea. Twenty-nine pieces of wire, different ttizes. One iron washer, U4 inches in diam eter. Fonr suspender clasps. Seventeen buttons, assorted. One hundred and twenty-six small stones. Twelve pieces of tin, various sizes. Three screws, upper halves of three 20-penny spikea. Three .32 -caliber cartridge shells. Twenty eight pins. Many of the larger nails were partial- y eaten op by the acids of the stomach. One large 4-inch nail, which pierced the stomach, is believed to have caused the abscess w hich resulted in death. The patient was 50 years of age and had been at the asylum almost continu ously since 1879. His chronic mania led him to believe himself pejesessed of a viriety of diseases, and for these he constant! t demanded treatment, n ben the physicians would give him no pow ders he would make them by grinding up coal or bricks and swallowing the stuff with a little water. Pebbles were his particular pleasure, and when, he found a smooth, ronnd one be would swallow it instantly, with seeming great satisfaction. Cora Wheat. Like ao Isthmian Cans! Scheme. A project which resembles on a minia ture scale the Darien isthmian canal scheme will be nnder-taken at Gunni son, wbere a tunnel, approximately lu by 12 feet, will be bored for six mi'e through solid rock to the valley of the Uncomphsgre. The point ontheGoo- ison from which the tunnel will Mart is in the Grand Genre, which i 200 fet deep and probably 40 feet w ide. A dam- will be com-truded arrs this gcrse to form a reservoir, ami the w ater will be distributed at will along Itoth sides of the Vncomphagro Valiev, and will irrigate an area estimated at l x), 00 acree. At the itevu auaieoi iiies-aeei- water River, in Wyoming, the uatural Borve is to be utilized by the construc tion of a great dam 100 feet high, 30 feet long at the bottom and 300 feet loin: at the top, St feet thick at the base an t 25 feet thick at the top. By means if this dam it will be possibw to ft-re .t25,"S5 acre feet of water, which will Iw fed out for irrigation purpose through the d.nn The dam will b of solid masonry This site is desrrilied by Captain llir.tm M.

The fourth irrigation project already determined upon by the gavernment will be located on the Salt River, in Arizona. An immense reservoir will be constructed by means of a dam approxi mately 600 feet long and 200 feet high, the furface of which will be 16 feet broad, and which will be as a roadway This dam will somewhat be carved, the surface beinst unstreatn. The total capacity of the reservoirs so creat ed, if it is found practicable to carry the dam to the height stated, will approxi mate 900,010 acre feet. In the con struction of this dam the energy of the water will be used to furnish the power needed, not only in constructing the im mense pile of masonary, but in manu facturing the cement, concrete, etc. Eggs, Eggs, Eggs, If yon want ep?s for Hatching from High Grade Poultry send your order for ejr'g or breeding stock to the Roseburg Poultry Yards WE HAVE Baff and Barred Flvmosib Rocks and V Light Eralunas. i - V) v 1 .1 V.'

The department of agriculture reports that an enormous number of letters are being received at the department from farmers in all parts of the country ask ing for definite information concerning a so-called new grain called "corn wheat,' and usually at the same time requesting mples for trial. These letters are the result of widely published newspaper stories. The de partment authorizes the statement that there is no such thing as "cornwheat, and iitaX it U urobabi M hybird of corn and wheat coold ever be produced, or, at any rate, one that would be fertile. J The grain which caused tho newspaper ! publications, the dejartnient say, is known correctly aa "Polish wbeat," though the grain is not a native of Po land, as the name might suggest, but its original home probably is somewhere in the Mediterranean region. The news paper reports, the department says, are correct in saying that the beads and grains of this wheat are very large, the grains being in many c$es actually twice as largo aa those of ordinary wheat. The statement that it yields 00 to 100 bushels is, however, probably considerably exaggerated, though there may be instances in. Idaho and Wash ington, where Uiere are always propor tionately large yields of wheat, iu which the yield may reach sixty to wventy- five bushels per acre. The experiments made by the agricultural department and bv experiment stations in a few places show that the yield is rather disappointing. The wheat has" been rrown oclv experimentally in this country except in a few places. From experiments so far made the inference would be that the grain would be very rood as a hos food. Polish wheat is much restricted in its adaptation and, the department says, coulJ not be suc- cessf uly grownny where east of the Mis sissippi river, but only in the Great mm plains region, in Washington, Idaho and Montana and other parts of the menn tain and Pacific states wbere gram is usually grown. It has great resistance to drouth. The department of agricul ture has no see 1 of the grain in stock J. M. Weatberbv T. A. Bary D. L. Mart.'. Roseburg; Real Estate Co.

Perhaps the most remarkable under taking of the work thus far outlined will be what is known as the bt. Mary River project, in Montana. It is heie proposed to divert the greater portion of the St. Mary's River, which rises in the Rocky Mountains, in Montana, an flows through Canada to Hudson's Bay from its natural channel, and, by means ot a canal, empty it into the Milk River, a tributary of the Missouri, so that its waters will eventually find their way in to the Gulf of Mexico. To accomphs this it will be necessary to construct dam fifty feet in height acr as the St. Mary's River, thus forming a reservoir, for which 4he St. Mary's Lake will be the basis,- twenty-five miles in length, and having a capacity of 260,000 acre foet of water that is, sufficient to cover 250,000 acres to a depth of one foot. A canal twenty-seven miles long will con- nect the reservoir with the North sore of the Milk River, and the water tnus obtained will, it. is estimated, prove sufficient to Irrigate 240,000 acres of laud along the Milk River between Harve and Glasgow. Mont. It is not expected tn divert the entire flow of the St. Mary's River, as there are some irriga tion canals on the Canadian side of the border whose rights must be respected. For one hundred miles the North Fork of the Milk River flows through Cana dian territory, but only at one place would it be possible for the Canadian Storing Water of Two Rivers. The last and most complex irrigation project thus far determined Uon by the government is in Nevada, is known as the Truckee-Carson project, and has for its purpose the storage of the waters of the Truckee and Carson rivers. While no engineering enterprise so striking as those outlined above is involved, the presence of numerous private irrigation companies adds ma terially to the difficnlties which will be entered. A series of reservoirs, several by means of dams, is to 1 constructed, and eventually an area ffnot less than 1S5.118 acres will be rendered susceptibls of irrigation. Speaking of this project, II. Newell, the hydrographer in charge, says "This is one of the most important of the interstate irrigation problem, which have been carefully ex amined. The construction of the work propof-ed would do much toward in creasing tho cultivated area and the population of Nevada, and would cause the State to rise rapidly in agricultural rank."
