However, it is not likely that it is within the power of the staté board to prevent individuals or cor- porations, whose applications have been received, hut not granted, from constructing contemplated ditches, If they determine %0 to do, notwithstanding the fact that their applications have not been acted upon; nor will the mere act of construction with out permission be likely to prejudice their interests, or in any manner afféct the ulti- mate action of the board. It must be re membered, however, that upon final adjudi- ation, prior appropriators may entitle to all' of the water a stream affords, in which case canals built under the circum stances in auestion, would prove of little benefit to thelr projectors; it shoul be remembered, also, that actly the situation previous of the present law.

Some time ago Commissioner Utt of the Commercial club opened negotiations with Hene & Co. of Burlington, Ia., and has suc- ceeded in closing a deal by which that firm will remove to Omaha at once and be ready for business by the first of the coming month, The firm will be located in East Omaba, in the building formerly occupied by the Kil- patrick-Koch company's overall factory. Hene & Co. have been employing fifty work- men at Burlington and have built up a splen- did reputation on their goods. They have made arrangements by which all of the job. bing cigar houses of Omaha will handle their product, and they will open their factory with fifty workmen, expecting to increase the number to 100 or more before the first of the year. Fifty of their workmen and their families will come with the firm from Bur- lington. ~ The jobbers of Omaha handle 60,- 000,000 cigars annually, and Commissloner Utt is going to work to see if he can not get factories enough here to manufacture a large share of that amount. The new factory will have an exhibit at the state fair. e — Banker Shoots His Wife, BROOKLYN, Aug. 21.—William J, Win- berg, aged a prominent east New York banker, shot his wife fatally last night and then committed sufcide as a result of a quar rel growing out of jealousy.
