arid and semi-arid land; the amount of
land now Irrigated, and the acreage be
lieved to be Irrigable; the sources of
water supply, developed and possible of
development; the cost of procuring,
storing, and deliver Ing water on lands;
state legislation, in force and needed;

V. H. Grinstead, Dighton; F. D. Coburn,
Topeka; L. Baldwin, Great Bend; A. B.
Montgomery, Good! and. The citizens of

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH.
The organization of an equal suffrage
club by a number of the wealthiest
women of Atlanta, Georgia, attracts wide
attention and shows that woman suffrage
has at last obtained a foothold in the
south which has been for a long time its
most unpromising field. It Is the object
of this club to extend its labors and to
organize other clubs in every city in
Georgia. The result will be that Georgia
will soon be as much in the midst of the
equal suffrage agitation as any other
state in the union. The advancement of
women is not confined to Georgia alone.
On March 13, the last day of the ses
sion, the general assembly of Kentucky
passed the bill known as the Husband
and Wife BilL" This bill gives to the
married woman entire equality with the
married men. in the possession and con
trol of property. After Mrs. Josephine
K. Henry's eloquent address on "Aiar
ried Women's Property Rights," early
in the session, several of the members
expressed a wish to hear her ppeak
again, and -asked if she could not later.in
the session give another address. She
suggested that she might take as large. a
subject as "American Citizenship." They
expressed themselves as pleased, and,
accordingly, on March 3, by invitation,
she spoke on that subject at Representa
tive halL The ball had been tendered
by a unanimous vote for that purpose;
and the senate, which was holding a
night session on account of pressure of
business, adjourned to hear her. The
hall was rilled with an audience com
posed largely of the legislators, and she
held them in close attention for more
than an hour.
The Virginia legislature, which recent
ly adjourned, passed a law making husv
band and wife competent to testify for
or against each other in civil cases, ex.
cept suits to set aside conveyances from
one to the other on the ground of fraud,
and divorce proceedings. Either may
testify in behalf of the other in criminal
proceedings. .
CARRIER'S UNIFORMS.
First Assistant Pontmnitf r General Janet
Straightens Thing Oat.
Washington, April 2. -- Objections
have been raised by letter carriers in
several cities to the requirements of the
postoffiee department concerning the
purchase of carrier's uniforms, although
no formal protest has been made.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones in speaking pf the matter today
aid: 2?o rule respecting the carrier's
or substitute's uniforms has been
changed. The purchase of these suits
rests with the carrier and the postmaster
as provided in section 013 of the postal
laws and regulations.
"This provides for an inspection of uni
forms every six months by the postmaster
and no postmaster shall require a new i
suit or any article of It to Le purchased ;
when that in use is in reasonably good j
condition. When proper, he may require :
any carrier to purchase a new uniform or
part of one, and the carrier must appear
as neat and tidy ai th$ service will per
mit. The only purpose of- the department
In contracting for the uniform was a de
sire to aid the carriers in securing better
uniform at a lower price. 1 here is
nothing compulsory in it further than is
already provided by the postal laws."

DEEP MURDER MYSTERY.
A. Dead Body Fonnd Ihit May Change a
Murder Trial Materially.
Woodbury, 2f. J., April 2. A body
found ia the Delaware has been identified
as that of Charles Gans of Swedesboro.
According to the county records, how
ever, the body of Charles Gans was found
in a creek a few weeks ago and was
buried by his relatives.
The coroner's inquest at that time dis
closed the fact that murder-had been
committed and two men who were last
seen with Gans are awaiting trial charged
with the crime. The finding of the
second body makes the case a very mys
terious one, for everything seems to show
that the first body was not that of Gans,
and presents a Chinese puzzle to the
police as to what hand the two men under
arrest had iu the death of either.
Gans was last seen alive on the night
of January 15. On that night he was in
a hotel drinking. Two men were with
him. They wese Patrick Kerwin and D.
P. Armstrong. The trio became involved
in a fight in which it was Gans against
the other two. Shortly after the tight,
Gans left the hotel and started down the
road.
.-Jen minutes later, Kerwin and Arm
sir&ng left the bar room and also went
down the road in the same direction
Gans had taken. This was the last seen
of Gans. A few days afterward, when he
did not appear at his home, an investi
gation was made. Kerwin and Arm
strong were arrested.
Nothing could be proved against them,
as it was not even known that Gans was
dead. They were released. The search
for Gans, however, was kept up and on
Mareh 11 two boys, while tramping
through the wood3, fotfnd the body in a
little creek containing hardly enough
water to cover it The body was taken
to Camden and was identified by a
brother of Charles Gans as that of his
brother.
The county physician made an autop
sy and announced that the man had been
murdered. The neck was broken, there
were many bruises, and it was shown
that life had been extinct before the
body had reached the water.
Mrs. Gans, the wife of the missing
man. said the body was not that of her
husband. She said the clothes were dif
ferent than what he had worn. Gans'
mother was also doubtful. The brother
then mado a close examination, and
found on the body three marks. When
these were shown to the two women
they admitted that the body was the one
they sought.
The theory of the authorities was that
the murderers had changed Gans'
clothes and removed every means of
identification.
Kerwin and Armstrong were taken into
custady. and their trial is set for the next
term of court. The body found was
floating on the river surface. In the
pockets of the clothing were the articles
Gans had on his person when he was
last seen. His watch was there as well
as a number of papers, a knife and other
things. The clothing was the same as
that worn by Gans when he left home on
the 15th of January. Sp far as the ex
amination has gone, drowning was the
apparent cause of death.
Whose body it was the boys found iu
the creek, and who is resposible for what
the coroner's jury has declared a mur
der, is puzzling the authorities.
STAMPED ENVELOPES.

Wajhisotos, April 2. James Purcell,

sell has notified him that he will be giv

bly be represented.

A BIG CROWD WAS THERE
To Hoar What Became of the MIllor-Dnn
. Case.
A crowd of no Kss than 200 young men,
chiefly "billiard hall Johunies" aud bad
boys, were at Justice Furry's court today
to hear the preliminary examination of
Cameron Miller and Earnest Dann. They
were greatly disappointed that nothing
occurred to satisfy their curiosity, as the
case was continued for ten days.
The defendants in the case will fight
the charge against them bitterly and
bring every legal pressure to bear to es
cape the penitentiary. They have en
gaged Thomas H. Bain, J. B. Larimer,
and W. A. S. Bird to conduct their de
fense. Both Miller and Dann were pres
ent in court today, and appeared to be
the least interested of any one.
Ida Peterson, the complaining witness,
was present but occupied the dark room
adjoining the courtroom, alone with two
female friends.
The continuance was asked for by Mr.
Bird and" Mr. Bain, in order that they
might have more time in which to pre
pare for the defense.
It is said that a list gf other young men
who the defendants claim are just as
guilty as they, is being prepared by law
yers in the case. . "fbia report has caused
no little excitement among a certain class
of young men, ud they, inquire anxious
ly, "Is your name written theref"
UNCLE S A 31 HOLDS ON. ,
None of Yellowstone Park, to B tjiven
Vp to Private Interests.
Washikgton, D.C., April 2.-Secretary
Smith has transmitted to congress an ad
verse report on the bouse bill recently
introduced providing for the restoration
of 1861 square miles of land in the Yel
lowstone . National park to the public
domain.
The secretary says that the segregation
of the laud will result in obstructing the
enforcement of the regulations for the
government of the park owing to the
squatting that would be made on these
lands by crowds of poachers, trappers
and other undesirable characters.
The boundaries of the park as now
fixed by law are unsatisfactory to the de
partment, and no good reason for the
proposed change is known.
It is held that the passage of this bill
will establish a bad precedent and result
in turning the entire reservation over to
private interests.
