Work of th«* National Irrigation Ano < i.«l i«»II. Wants Czar and Mikado to Help in Restoring Peace. HIGH CHINESE TO BE PUNISHED NotwIthstandIng These Kdlets Prepara tions for War Are Still Reported — Khan Hal Captured by the Allies. London, Oct. 2. — Beyond a nunibex of imperial edicts, which throw into ■till worse confusion the complicated Chinese situation, there is little iu to day’s news to arrest attention. From Shanghai comes an unconfirmed report that the allies have seized Shan 11 ai Kwan. All the news with regard to th» edict» eniiuates from Shanghai. Ac cording to the advices, in addition to the edicts ordering Grand Councillor Kun Kang to offer oblations before the coffin of Baron von Ketteler and tlu edict directing that Li Hung Cbang'r entire plan be followed in regard to the punishment of the princes and high ministers of state resjsjnsilAe for the anti-foreign outrages, and the de cree ordering that funeral honors b« paid iu Pekin and Tokio to the remains of Sugiyanm Akira, the murdered chan cellor of the Japanese legation, Emper or Kwang Hsu has addressed further letter» to the czar and mikado renew ing bi» request for their aid iu the peace negotiations. Various opinions are expressed as to the impoitance of the edicts. 1 lie Shanghai correspondent of tiie Morn ing Post says; "The severe punishment ordered by Emperor Kwang Hsu will only mean a mouey fine. There are traces of Li Hung Chang's hand under American influence in the edicts.” On the other hand, the Standard’s Shanghai corre spondent remarks: “The empress now realizes the true nature of the crisis. After consulting the emperor she sum moned the court dignitaries and on their assembling, through which she remained silent, ttie emperor in a loud voice delivered a tirade lasting a couple of hours against the courtiers. Then in an angry voice he dismissed them. After this the decrees were issued. While these have been promulgated, feverish war preparations are still re ported from Shanghai, and new ap pointments have been made to the Chi nese army and navy.” The vista that the (losbiliilities of ir rigation reveal, says the I jos Angele« Herald, is almost stnpeudonsr us a few facta and figures prejmred by the Na tional irrigation Association demon strate. The federal government today owns 100,900,000 acres of laud, which is worthless only because it is arid. This "unwatered empire'' call be re claimed by irrigation ami rendered capable of sustaining a population of at least 50,000,000 people. In tha words of the secretary of agriculture iu his last anneal report: "More than one-third of the country depends upon the success of irrigation to maintain the people, the industries, and the political institutions of that area, and future growth will also be measured by the increase of the reclaimed area. In a region which, in the extent of diver sity of its mineral wealth, has no equal on the globe, the riches of the mines iu the hills are already surpass ed by tlie productions of the irrigated farms in the valleys, and the nation at large is at last awakening to the fact that the development of the use of the rivers and arid lauds of the West will constitute one of the most important epochs in our increase iu population and material wealth.” Work fertile Federal Government. These stupendous )tosaibilitie» also present a colossal problem How may this gigantic desert be transformed into a land of proiperity? Who is tn redeem the national domain by a com prehensive system of reservoirs? It has been demonstrated by 20 vears of expe rience iu iirigation development and by the reports of government experts and engineers that the great problem can only be solved by the federal gov ernment. Captain Hiram M. Chitten den, engineer corp«, (J. S. A., iu his report on "Surveys for Reservoir Sites.” declares emphatically that reservoir construction ill the ai id regions of the West can properly be carried out only through public agencies. “ Private enterprise can never accomplish the work successully. As between state and nation, it falls more properly under the latter.’’ Ten Yearn Would R oc I h I iii the Went. ft is estimated that «143,000,000 wonld reclaim the arid lands of the West; that an expenditure by the fed eral government of «15.000,000 n year for 10 years would open tip lands for the settlement of a population as big as that of the entire country at present. An appropriation of «100,000 was made at the last session of congress for pre liminary surveys to discover the best locations for tlie immense reservoirs. MINERS’ PAY RAISED.

Hong Kong, Oct. 3.—The British gunboat Robin has shelled the village of Luk Lae, on the West river, in re taliation for the inhabitants firing on a British steamer. The ringleaders were afterward captured and flogged. To escape death after being given ip hr lour doctors, and hidden good-bye to family and Irieuds is an experience uot granted every man. \ et it hap pened to Mr. Le Roy Bowen, of De- ooiia township, Blue Earth county, Minn. Mr. Bowen is a farmer, but formerly resided in Mapleton, where he was clerk and city marshal for a number of years, lima well-known member of the Masonic fiateruity and enjoy» an enviable reputation for his sterling honesty and uprightness of character. He told his story ot miraculous re lief and cure to a reporter recently and it is a story of the greatest interest. He said: "1 was suddenly taken sick in the spring of 1895. 'lhe pain was intense. The doctor was hastily summoned. He pronounced my case one of gravel sud said that the pain was caused bv the passage of a stone from the kidneys to the bladder. 1 doctored with hiti» for three months, but was not benefited. Frequently, once a week. 1 would have a bad »pell of two <ir three days duration, during which 1 suffered un told agony. “Finally I went to Mankato and consulted a specialist. He stated that I did not have gravel, but thought it was rheumatism of the stomach. I continued to visit hint until the end ot August. Then I became completely bedridden and sent for another doctor, lie called my complaint inflammation of the bowels and treated me for that. 1 became better, but in one Week my legs swelled lip and I was worse than •ver. “The doctor laid my case before the faculty of Rush Medical College. Chi cago, and it was decided that I had neuralgia ot the stomach. I was treat ed for that until December, but contin ued to grow worse. Then the dootor said, ‘I can't do you any good. til the help 1 know for you is an opera- I tion.’ ‘Very well,’ 1 replied, 'go on and operate if that is left for me ’ This was on Sunday. The time of th« operation was set for Tuesday. My children were sent for, and I prepared for the worst. “The appointed lime came; the four doctors present examined me for two hours, then they retired and consulted for the same length of time. They concluded that they did uot know what ailed me. The head physician asked permission to ‘cut,’ a.* he expressed it, ‘and find out.’ I asked how big a place he wanted to cut. He said ‘he thought four inches far enough.’ I knew enough not to allow any such hide-and-seek game to be played with me, so the operation did not occur. I continued under the doctor’» care, but my ease was considered hopeless. I made my will, balanced my accounts and made every preparation for death "I continued to grow steadily worse. Day after day was passed in intense astony. As a last resort 1 told my hired man to bring me, the next time lie went to town, a box of Dr. Wil liams’ J’ink Bills for Bale l’eople. I hail read considerable about them and thought 1 wonld try them. Immed iately after beginning flip use of these pills 1 commenced to feel better. At first, I took one pill three times a day. but increased the dose to three pills three times a day. In two weeks I was out of bed and around. “In five weeks I took a trip to Man kato, hubthia trip was a little beyond my strength and 1 came home and had to go to bed. I agaiu began the use of the pills. The effect was hs before; in four days 1 was on my feet, and have hesn there ever eince, thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Bills for Bale People.’’ I hereby certify the above statement is true, to the best of mv knowledge and belief.
