Colorado Statesman

Money Saved By Patronizing Merchants Who Advertise in This Paper. COUNTRY PARTY RACE THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHALL BE FREE THE JOURNAL OF THE STATE A Word to the Twentieth Century Negro by Prof. Kelly Miller, Professor of Mathematics of Howard University, Washington, D. C., In Voice of the Negro. VOL. XI. The salvation of any overshadowed race will depend upon what they are rather than what they do, upon character more than enterprise, upon endurance rather endeavor. For the Negro race I regard the development of the moral nature as fundamental and supreme. My advice to the Negro would be: 1. Follow virtue, act righteously, observe the ten commandments, obey the law of the land and of the community where you live. Nothing but robust moral integrity can preserve a weak race in contact with a strong one. The value of virtue is absolute. Honesty, truthfulness, fidelity, chastity and sobriety can never fail of universal recognition and reward. They are worth just as much to the poor, to the black as to the white. We need never despair of the destiny of any people whose feet are tenoned and mortised in the granite foundation of truth and righteousness. On the other hand, if they forget the moral element, however showy may be their gifts and attainments, we have only to put ears to the ground to hear "the muffled drum of fate, beating their funeral marches to the grave." 2. Exemplify the Christian religion. God has endowed you with meekness, humility and forgiveness of spirit. Are you not the most striking illustration of that beantitude with a promise—"Blessed are the meek for they shall inherite the earth?" You are here, in this western hemisphere, some twenty million strong, and are sure to inherit all that Aryan civilization contains. The red Indian struck back, but he strikes no more. He has been dispatched to the "Island of the Blessed," where all feeble race will speedily go who, like Job's wife, dare curse the white God and die. Those that suffer and are overborne have always moral and spiritual advantage over their haughty oppressors. Reforms come from those who suffer and feel the need, of them. Who knows but that you have been placed here to bring an arrogant world back to the simple teachings of the Son of God? The Anglo-Saxon is pitiably deficient in essential Christian graces. He never turns the other cheek except as a maneuver to smite the finishing blow. Humanity and lowliness of spirit are alien to his nature. His god is power—his religion is gain. Did not your illiterate forbears, with clear spiritual discernment, say to the rapacious white lord of creation, "You may have all the world, but give me Jusus?" The white man is bound to get the world, whether you consent or not. But he has no monopoly of spiritual gifts. The Negro is more apt to win in the race that is set before him by following the precepts of Jesus than by joining the great white throng that bows down and worships at the shrine of the Almighty Dollar. 3. Cultivate self respect. You should never accept the low estimate and spiteful treatment that evil men bestow upon you as a just measure of your inherent worth. You are as sheep among wolves. Do not try conclusions with the wolf, but at the same time do not let him overawe and cower your spirit. The spirit in modern civilization would ever and anon impress the Negro with a sense of his inferiority. Be not so impressed. Those who are really superior are least likely to make obtrusive display of their advantage. Present a manly attitude amid a brutal and outrageous display of power. Preserve that inner freedom which ridicule, insult and cruel rebuff cannot reach. Do not be carried away by a swagging and boastful optimism that is born of ignorance and sometimes, I fear, fostered by crafty design to deceive and mislead the simple. It is foily to imitate the savage who, drunk with the wardance, temeriously faces modern artillery with his little bow and arrow. The development of ten centuries is more than that of forty years. The Negro belongs to a backward or belated race. If the Negro race is in its childhood, as Dr. Washington would say, the white race may be in its dotage. The backward class has not yet gained concrete equality of power. On the other hand, eschew that waillful, insane pessimism despised by God and man. The pessimist has never advanced this world one iota in the scale of progress. Sanity is the middle ground between evaultant optimism, begotten of cowardice and fear. Protest in manly fashion against outrage and wrong. You may be compelled to receive political and civic unrighteousness, but do not accept it with complaisant acquiescence. The sufferer owes it to the oppressor, as well as to himself, to protest against oppression. It is due the wrong-doer to know that his deeds are iniquitous. Cultivate at least a negative race pride. Do not despise your own race and color. Is there any vir- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1905. tue in a white, black or yellow cuticle? They are all alike in the dark. It makes no difference when we are asleep. Is knowledge, culture, or spiritual serenity an attribute of skin or of the soul? In what single respect is the white race perfect? Have not the greatest evil-doers of the human race been of that color? To be like somebody else is the low ambition of a little soul. A noble nature strives to become its best self, and to contribute to the sum total of human good whatever of worth with which it may be endowed. The world adors Moses and Homer and Shakespeare, oblivious of tee accident of race and color, but because of the human soul touched with divine fire. When approached as to "social equality," say to the white interlocutor, "I do not think that any colored man will dine at your table without an invitation, and as he thinks you would probably spurn an invitation from him, he is not likely to extend it." Be industrious. Buy lands and houses and accumulate material goods. Pool your savings and start banks and stores and factories so as to give colored boys and girls an opportunity in the highest lines of work. If your work is of an humble grade, perforum it with all the skill and character at your command. The material standard of civilization is advancing. Teach your children to acquire skill and deftness, in or out of school, in whatever line of work their hands find to do. Cultivate your children. It should be a disgrace to any parent to have his child grow up in ignorance. But do not put your trust in mammon. Mere money has never righted a wrong in all human history. The love of money is the root, and not the remedy of evil. 5. Covet the best gifts. Encourage talent and genius to expand and exploit itself. Any race will be measured in the long run by the illustrious names it has produced and not by its carpenters and bricklayers. Every boy should seek the highest line of service that his faculties and opportunities can command. You need not fear a plethora of philosophers; there never was a dearth of fools. Reprobate that cheap philosophy which would keep Frederick Douglas in the shipyard, J. C. Price on the farm, Paul Laurance Dunbar at the elevator ropes, and Booker T. Washington in the coal mines. The mere acquisition of bread and butter has never been the aspiration of any people who have done anything worth while in the history of the human species. White Girl Creates Sensation. Miss Dora Young, a white girl 17 years old, who resides with her mother at No. 1339 South Mole street, created quite a sensation in Clerk Goebel's office Tuesday when she applied for a license to marry Charles Kellems, aged 28 years, who happened to be a colored man. The clerk refused to grant the license on the ground that the consent of her father had not been obtained. Mrs. Young, the girl's mother, made an affidavit that she had not seen her husband for more than four years and had no knowledge of his whereabouts, and that he had not contributed any money toward the support of the family. Mrs. Young was perfectly willing for her daughter to marry Mr. Kellems so the license was granted, and now Miss Young is Mrs Charles Kellems. She resides with her mother. Our representative called one day this week and had an interview with Mrs. Young, who is evidently German, but speaks broken English, She said that Mr. Kellems came to Philadelphia from Rockville, Conn., last April, and she came early in May. They had resided in Rockville over 20 years. Mrs. Young has six children, Mrs. Kellems being the oldest. Mr. Kellems has been a friend of the family for over 15 years and since Mrs. Young has had to look out for herself he has boarded with them and has been an invaluable friend to the family, therefore she felt it an honor to have her daughter marry him. Mrs. Young says she is glad that they are now married. She says Philadelphia is all riggt, but she likes Rockville better. —Philadelphia Tribune. WhisKy DrinKing. The best way to fight whisky is to assist in ridding the world of the fool notion that whisky drinking is "smart." There never was a bigger fool trick than paying your hard earned money for that which injures you physically and morally, yet thousands of men—particularly young men—think whisky drinking is "smart." Kill that silly notion, and whisky is doomed, because it never once did good, and does harm millions of times every day. Men who dislike whisky, drink it occasionally because they somehow think it is "smart" and "manly." Seventhents of the intoxicants are consumed by men who don't care for them; who order wine at dinner because they think it the "proper thing." The old sots will soon kill themselves, and they don't amount to much, anyway; but the millions of good and useful fellows who krink when they do not want it, because of custom; they are worth saving. And the best way to save them is to assist in getting rid of the fool notion that whisky drinking is "smart."—Atchison (Kens.) Globe. Sixteen Negroes were hanged or burned in Mississippi during the year 1904. At Hot Springs, Ark., recently, because a white man had been employed as a professional attendant in one of the bath houses the Negro attendants went on a strike and demanded that the white man be discharged. This demand was denied, and the places of the Negroes were quickly filled. Buxton, Ia., is a town of about 6,000 inhabitants, nine-tenths of which are colored. In fact it is a city controlled almost exclusive by Negroes. Recently a beautiful Y. M. C. A. building has been erected with an opera house combined. The opera house has a seating capacity of about 700 or 800, and the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. is as fine as any in the country. The entire building is heated with steam and has all modern conveniences such as electric lights, hot and cold water, etc. Says the Savannah, Ga., Press: "The best way to help the Negro, to make him satisfied with his conditions and attached to the government, is to keep the ballot in his hand. After forty years of preparation it would be a travesty to take it away from him now. The National government would not stand for it, and the Southern people would find themselves more isolated than ever if such a thing were attempted. So far as Georgia is concerned there is no serious idea of disfranchising the Negro, nor do any considerable number of the people clamor for a repeal of the amendments." Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 11. Word comes from Deming of a tragedy which occurred there Saturday night, but which has just come to light. A Negro cook who had been employed at the residence of H. Nordhaus, attempted to rob and commit an assault upon Mrs. Nordhaus by chloroforming her. The affair became known and a posse formed. It located the Negro in a stable on the outskirts of Deming. When ordered to surrender he made a dash for liberty. The posse opened fire on him and his body received six bullets, resulting in his death. It is learned that Mrs. Nordhaus is still ill from the experience. Miss Hazel Harris, a young lady pianist, who, it will be remembered, left for Berlin in the early part of autumn with the Philarmonic orchestra is meeting with NO. 16. marked success. Appended is one of Miss Harrison's Berlin press notices: "Saturday evening a youthful pianist, Hazelda Harrison, was heard in the Singakademic, with the Philarmonic orchestra, under August Scharrer. The artist show great talent and an excellent technic. Quite especially beautiful and soft is her piano, while one could have wished for a little strength in the places. She played Chopin's Eminor and Greig's A minor concertions. Her playing does not yet reveal personal conception and independence, but it shows so much musical intelligence that we are justified in expecting much from her further development."—Dentsher Reicheanzelger, October 25, 1905. The present owner of the "Jefferson Davis plantation" in Mississippi is Isaiah F. Montgomery, a colored man. He was a bright youth and Joseph Davis brother of Jefferson Davis, owned him. Mr. Davis attracted by the boy's sprightless and good qualities, had him educated, and he was a famous pet on the plantation. He was always respectful grateful and obedient as a bondsman. He was faithful to the persons and interests of the Davis family during the war and after it. He was permitted to purchase the old plantation and nobody objected. He has the esteem of all Mississippiians, and is now worth about $200,000. Isaiah Montgomery is respected in Mississippi, and deserves to be. He is a rare character, and the coming generations of his race might learn valuable lessons from his virtues, his patience and good sense.—Augusta Chronicle. Riches from Safety Pin. The inventor of the safety pin lives in Cleveland, O., and he has a bigger bank account and more public gratitude than the inventor of the safety bicycle.-Denver Republican. American Trout for Swiss. American rainbow trout have been acclimated successfully in the Lake of Constance, and further experiments are to be made with them elsewhere in Switzerland. Think it an evidence of shrewdness to carry a continual scowl on the face. Antagonize a proposition through a wish to appear more than ordinarily keen. Acquire a reputation for wisdom through showing an interest in everything told to them. Have a way of smiling that is as meaningless as an unknown language. Philadelphia Bulletin. Much Cancer In Australia. The Australian death rate from cancer for every 10,000 living has risen in the last thirty years from 2.75 to 5.72. It has more than doubled for males and nearly doubled for females. Cancer is, however, distinctly a disease of later life, increasing in prevalence as age increases beyond its middle term --- TO LEGISLATURE OF COLORADO. Denver, Jan. 11.—Following was the program yesterday at the opening of the new state administration: 10 a. m.—Senate assembled for brief session. 10 a. m.—House called to order. 10 a. m.—Doors of the House opened to holders of tickets. 11:45 a. m.—Governor-elect Adams and Governor Peabody, members of the Supreme Court, state officers and inaugural committee met in governor's reception room. 11:50 a. m.—Senate and House went into joint session to hear the inaugural address. 11:53 a. m.—Procession from governor's office to the House chamber. 11:58 a. m.—Procession entered the House and the gubernatorial party ascended the speaker's dals. 12 m.—Chief Justice Gabbert administered the oath of office as governor to Alva Adams. 12:05 p. m.—Governor's salute fired by Battery A. Lleut. G. W. Underwood commanding. 12:10 p. m.—Governor Adams delivered his inaugural address. 12:35 p. m.—Oath of office administered to state officers by Chief Justice Gabbert. Governor's Message. Governor Adams' address was in part as follows: "The uncertainty of recent events have delayed the writing of this message until the last hour, and as no departments of the state government have sent the incoming governor a copy of their reports, it will not be possible at this time to speak intelligently of the business affairs of the state. My words must therefore be suggestive only, and not as full and definite as they should be. Later, when time has been given to the investigation of the finances of the state I will ask the privilege of sending you a second message with such recommendations concerning income and expenditures as may seem fit and proper. Comparison of Taxes. "Six years ago to-day I gave to the Legislature an epitome of the financial affairs of the state. A comparison will show that in that brief period the taxes collected and spent have doubled, without a corresponding increase in population or wealth. When a business man's expenditures double without adding to his capital, it is time he changed his methods. "A careful scrutiny of appropriations should enable us to maintain our institutions in a respectable manner and yet reduce the levy. Labor Troubles. "The annals of several counties have been stained by strikes, lockouts, martial law and outrage. These are poor testimonials of free government. "While strikes may not be forbid den, we may dream of the reign of justice, we may hope for conditions and laws that will make strikes unnecessary. First among these enactments in obedience to the expressed mandate of the people should be an honest eight-hour law. This both parties promised the people. Let that promise be kept. Arbitration Law. "Next, an amendment to the arbitration law, requiring a compulsory submission of any grievance or difference between employer and employees. This is not compulsory arbitration, nor does it lead to a compulsory decree, but it does compel a conference, and where the parties to an industrial conflict honestly confer, a settlement is almost certain. Election Scandal "The election scandals in Denver Teller, Pueblo, Huerfano, Las Animas and some other counties indicate a needed change in our election laws, and demands the enactment of an honest and efficient primary law. No as assault upon free government is as serious as a corrupt ballot. The pure ballot is the very heart of our government system, and where that fails democracy is a failure, and a free republic a delusion. Dead Lawmakers. "I take this occasion to record my personal and official regret at the untimely death of Senator Buckley. He was a loyal, able and devoted citizen of Colorado. "We should also pay our tribute of regard and appreciation to the memory of Governor Eaton. When Colorado writes her history the name of Benjamin H. Eaton will stand high among the list of her most valued citizens. Action of Supreme Court. "The Supreme Court having announced that until the Legislature acts the State Board of Canvassers may go behind the returns and, if so willed, may declare whom they please elected to the Legislature, and as such power carried to its ultimate would enable a set of state officers to perpetuate themselves in office, you should follow the intimation of the court and pass a law making clear, definite and limited the power of the board of canvassers. Let Us Have Peace. "During the past two years Colorado has often held the center of the stage; she has filled many columns in current literature; notoriety, if not fame, has been her portion. To-day, as I look with hope and confidence into the glad new year, I repeat for Colorado the hope expressed by Gallatin to Jefferson when about to enter the White house: 'May your administration make no history.' "Men of peace have no Plutarch. Short are the annals of peaceful states. "So, for the next two years my prayer is that Colorado will make no history save that which is written in the hearts of a contented, a prosperous and a peaceful people. "I ask the God of Solomon to give me the wisdom to know the right and the courage to do it. "ALVA ADAMS." The Colorado Telephone Company has 1,000 telephones in use in the Cripple Creek district. The oil company organized by Salida business men proposes to sink a well in the oil belt south of town. The Salida and Chaffee County Pioneers' Association has been organized to preserve the memory of the early days. Denver has 226 miles of regular sewerage, besides fifty-one miles of storm sewers. The aggregate cost was nearly $3,000,000. The annual meeting of the Colorado Editorial Association will be held in Denver January 23rd, which is a week earlier than the date first set for it. A fashionable hotel and club room will soon be erected in Denver by the United Commercial Travelers of America. One of its features will be a roof garden. Capt. Levy Ethan Allen of the Weld County Abstract Company at Greeley, a veteran of the Civil War, died at Long Beach, California, January 3rd. The President on the 9th inst. nominated Frederick C. Perkins as register of the land office and Daniel L. Sheets as receiver of public moneys at Durango. Union revival meetings under the direction of Rev. Wilbur Chapman began in Denver January 4th. Daily meetings will be held in a large number of churches. William Nicholas, foreman of the Hawley-Gardner mine near Nevada, in Gilpin county, was caught in the belting at the shaft house and killed on the 6th inst. SuperIntendent John Dietrich of the Colorado Springs schools has received from the board of directors of the International Anti-Cigarette League a certificate of appointment as state president for Colorado. The game warden is having trouble with persons who have been shooting quail near Florence in violation of the law, which allows no open season for quail until 1907. One man was recently fined $50 and costs for this offense. The journeymen barbers of Denver have had a bill drafted for licensing of all barbers working in Colorado and will ask the Legislature to make it a law. The bill is similar to the one presented unsuccessfully to the Legislature at its last term. The entire exhibit of the mining and horticultural departments at the World's Fair arrived at Denver from St. Louis on the 9th inst. There were three carloads, and the exhibits are now stored in the west and south entrances of the capitol building. R. C. Elliott, a pioneer attorney of Monument, died on the 6th inst. Mr. Elliott was a law partner of Joseph H. Choate in New York before coming to Colorado and received his certificate of membership in the New York Bar Association from President Roosevelt's grandfather. Work has begun on a $20,000 water and electric light plant at Evans. A soft water well 100 feet deep in the center of the town, supposed to be supplied directly from an underflow from the mountains, will supply the water works. A gasoline pumping plant will be used. Harry Tarbell of Saguache county has been appointed coiner of the new mint by the federal government. He is at present clerk of the Colorado House of Representatives. The new position pays a salary of $3,000 a year and he will assume work July 1st, when the mint begins coinage. The Denver Detective Department on the 9th inst. captured C. F. Putnam, alias John C. French, wanted for breaking jail at Trinidad, with John Mayo. Putnam and Mayo were in jail in Las Animas county awaiting trial on a charge of forgery, and had escaped and made their way to Denver. John Delaney, twenty-five years of age, committed suicide at Georgetown January 5th. He left home about 2:30 p. m., telling his mother he was going hunting. It seems he went into an abandoned machine shop, fastened the gun in a vise and pulled the trigger, the ball entering his left breast. Patrick Brennan, who was brought before a justice of the peace at Leadville on the 1st inst. on the charge of murder, waived examination and was held without ball to the District Court. Brennan is the man who, on Christmas night, shot Mrs. Kate Lowney twice at Stumptown and then fired a bullet into his own head. Mrs. Lowney died five days later. The biennial report of John M. Woodard, state game and fish commissioner, states that game in some respects has increased very materially within the past twenty months. The deer have increased very rapidly; the antelope and mountain sheep have increased to a marked degree, as also have the grouse and sage chickens, while the increase of quail has been remarkably rapid. At Fort Morgan, on the 9th inst., at sheriff's sale, all the right, title and interest of the Morgan County Independent Telephone Company, including its lines all over the county, with exchanges at Fort Morgan and Brush, were sold to George E. Settle for $9,000. This was under an execution from the District Court, in settlement of judgment due J. P. Curry of the First National Bank of Fort Morgan. A contract has been signed between a committee of Loveland citizens and P. J. Bartow and W. T. Newlon of Pueblo by which the latter agree to build a canning factory in Loveland in time for the 1906 crops. The plant will have a capacity of 2,500 cans per day. The citizens of Loveland will give a bonus of $2,000 and the fruit growers agree to furnish the factory with one-third of the crop of raspberries and cherries for the next two years. An injunction was issued in the federal court January 3rd to prevent the town of Walsenburg, or any of its officers, from issuing any of the bonds authorized by the town for the purpose of constructing a new reservoir for the purpose of supply the town with water. The water of the city is at present furnished by a corporation, which claims its franchise has twenty-five years to run, and that the new reservoir would put it out of business. STOCKGROWERS STOCKGROWERS JOINT CONVENTION AT WORK C. F. Martin. President Frank J. Hagenbarth opened the joint convention of the National Live Stock Association, the National Wool Growers' Association and the Insterstate Cattle Growers executive committee at 10:40 o'clock yesterday morning in the Tabor Opera house. Mayor Speer made the address of welcome. "You are in the Denver corral and while we have you here we want to brand you 'Denver, Colorado.'" he said. After the mayor had told of his early ambition and failure to become a cattle king, Fred P. Johnson said that the governor of Colorado could not be present because of the inauguration which was taking place. C. J. Gavin of Raton, New Mexico, responded with a bright speech in which he said: "Your state is the greatest, your climate the grandest, your cattlemen the wisest and your politics the d—dest in the country." The convention took highly important action in the appointment of committees representing every different organization interested in live stock, for the purpose of determining whether a great central organization of all interests may be effected. This is the nearest approach to a union of interests that has ever been accomplished by the live stock men of the country, during all the years when it has been deemed advisable to centralize the various organizations in one body. Each separate organization named men in whom it had implicit confidence to act on the general conference committee. In a tribute to the memory of the late Charles F. Martin, who was beloved by stockmen all over the country, Hon. John W. Springer brought tears to the eyes of many friends of the late secretary. The address was eloquent and touching, a portion of it being as follows: "Over every stockman of this Union a shadow has fallen, for a prince has been beckoned over the range, and the chair of our late secretary, Charles F. Martin, stands before us, draped in the emblems of mourning. From the morning of our history as a national association, no other name was ever suggested for secretary of this great organization, and verily his works live after him. "And his last letter was written to our beloved President, Theodore Roosevelt, which I was commissioned to deliver in person. My reception was genuine-and hearty, and I earnestly called the President's attention to the three requests of the stockman of the Union, with an urgent appeal to him to incorporate all our requests in his message to the Congress now in session. He listened to the reading of the letter and to my appeal, and I said: "Mr. Roosevelt, this is the last message from our faithful secretary, who has finished his labors and gone to his reward.' And this big-hearted, range-educated President said: 'Mr. Springer, leave this letter with me; I shall not forget the interests of the stockmen of this country.' And he kept his word, and all three of our requests were granted and urged upon the attention of Congress in a ringing message such as our people will never forget.'" Mr. Springer suggested the erection of a granite monument in memory of Mr. Martin. The annual address of President F. J. Hagenbarth was read and was listened to with great attention. WOOL GROWERS MEETING. New Officers Elected to Serve for the Ensuing Year. Denver, Jan. 11.—At the meeting of the National Wool Growers' Association yesterday afternoon Dallas J. Osborne, manager of the Denver Wool Growers' scouring mills, made an address. He said the wool should be thoroughly scoured as it would bring more money and greater profit to the grower. He cited an instance where unscoured wool in New Mexico brought only 10 to 11 cents, where the scoured product brought from 15 to 16 cents. He said wool is bought on a scoured basis and should be sold that way. Eighty-five per cent. of the growers in this section of the country are now scouring their wool. A resolution offered by James H. Gwinn of Pendleton, Oregon, was adopted, urging the Senate of the United States to pass the bill transferring the management of the forest reserves from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. This measure has been recommended by President Roosevelt and the two departments, and has already passed the House. By a unanimous vote all of the present officers of the wool growers were-elected. Dr. Wilson of Wyoming made a speech in which he praised their work. The executive committee elected for the ensuing year is composed as follows: E. S. Gosnay of Arizona, H. A. Jastro of California, W. A. Lingham of Colorado, Fred Gooding of Idaho, Mortimer Levering of Indiana, Frank P. Bennett of Massachusetts, Harold Carlyle of Missouri, John T. Rich of Michigan, T. C. Power of Montana, W. G. Markham of New York, C. H. Duborg of Nevada, H. W. Kelly of New Mexico, Dwight Lincoln of Ohio, Douglas Beltz of Oregon, Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming, Jesse M. Smith of Utah, W. L. McClimot of Texas and W. W. Burch of Illinois. Russian Forces Demoralized. Toklo, Jan. 11.—Information which has reached certain reliable quarters here states that the Russian generals in Manchuria are losing confidence in General Kuropatkin and that the Russian situation around Mukden is a serious one. It is feared that if Kuropatkin attacks the Japanese position along the Shakhe river he will court disaster and that his further retreat will mean the demoralization of his army.

The shut-down of the Illinois Steel Company's works at South Chicago ended on the 9th inst. Two thousand men who had been idle for four weeks were given work. It is said that twenty-four persons lost their lives in the mountains during the recent blizzard in Switzerland, fourteen of the casualties being on the St. Bernard pass. The sum of $75,000 has been raised to erect a Young Men's Christian Association building at Spokane, Washington, and an effort will be made to increase it to $125,000. Governor John H. Mickey of Nebraska, who has just been inaugurated for a second time, in his message recommends the exclusion of vicious-lobbyists from the capitol. Nan Patterson, the actress accused of the murder of Caesar Young, is seriously ill in the Tombs prison with tonsilitis. According to the prison physician the tonsils will probably have to be removed. The Union Pacific railroad has decided to establish a benefit association for its employees, the object of which is to care for them when sick or injured. A tax of 50 cents will be placed on each employee. Henry V. Poor, widely known as a railroad authority and expert on financial affairs, died January 5th at Brookline, Massachusetts. He was born in Maine in 1813 and was the oldest graduate of Bowdoin College. The message of Governor Gooding of Idaho called attention to the fact that adultery is not a crime in Idaho and urged that a law be enacted making it such. He also advised that a law be passed making polygamy a crime. The Alaska Central railroad, building from Sewaea to the Tanana river in Alaska, has changed hands. Canadian capitalists have purchased the interest owned by Shedd Bros. of Chicago. The road will be rushed to completion. Determined that gambling must forever remain stamped out in El Paso, known for years as the Monte Carlo of America, business men of that city have subscribed $10,000 to prosecute violations of the law, several gambling resorts having reopened since all were closed November 10th. George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican national committee, was one of the passengers for the Mediterranean January 7th on the Coptic. Mr. Cortelyou said that he was going abroad for needed rest and would remain about two months. He will become postmaster general on his return. The Daily London Telegraph's Port Arthur correspondent says that, according to stories by prisoners, the real defender of the fortress was Major Kondratenko, commander of the Seventh East Siberian brigade, (who was killed December 15th) and that if he had lived it is probable the fortress would not have been surrendered. A dynamiter made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy the recently erected statue of Frederick the Great at Washington on the 10th inst. He came up in a cab and placed a valise containing dynamite against the monument after lighting the fuse. A negro who saw him threw it some thirty feet away and the explosion did no serious damage. A tidal flood on the east coast of England on the 7th inst. caused an enormous amount of damage at watering places from Scarborough as far south as Dover. Eight hundred feet of the pier at Scarborough, which cost $175,000, were swept away, and the promenades on the sea front were broken up. The town of Yarmouth was badly flooded. Officials of the customs department have succeeded in locating more than $50,000 worth of diamonds and jewels owned by Mrs. Chadwick, upon which it is declared no duty was paid when they were brought into this country from Europe. Most of these valuables it is stated are in the hands of persons in Cleveland, who hold them as security for loans made to Mrs. Chadwick. The Tokio correspondent of the London Times says: "The map of Port Arthur which the Russians produced on December 28th in support of their complaint that the Japanese fire was damaging hospitals, shows seventeen hospitals scattered throughout the old and new towns.

The festivities were badly interfered with in Switzerland and Aus- Doesn't Like English Spelling. Senator Penrose objects to having American publishers use the English style of spelling. Here is an interesting bill, in full, which Penrose introduced by request, and is called a bill for the promotion of education: "That it shall not be deemed an infringement of any copyright granted after July 1, 1905, for any person to reprint and republish any book, magazine, newspaper or periodical in which words like harbor, candor, armor and honor are spelled with the insertion of a "u" before the "r," or where such words as recognize, antagonize and authorize are spelled with an "s" instead of a "z," or where such words as inquire, inclose and indorse are spelled with the initial letter an "e," or where such words as stories and tories are spelled as to the final syllable "eys"; provided that in the reprint what is known as the American way of spelling is adopted." The Easiest Way. Teacher—Nellie, I'm afraid you didn't study your lesson. What will you do without an education when you grow up? Nellie (aged six)—Oh, I'll be a teacher and make other little girls study. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. "No matter how carefully you train your boys," remarked Uncle Allen Sparks, "when they grow up to be men they're likely to go into politics, just the same." BABY'S TERRIBLE SORE Body Raw With Humor—Caused Untold Agony—Doctor Did No Good—Cuticura Cured at Atone. "My child was a very, delicate baby. A terrible sore and humor broke out on his body, looking like raw flesh, and causing the child untold agony. My physician prescribed various remedies, none of which helped at all. I became discouraged and took the matter into my own hands, and tried Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment with almost immediate success. Before the second week had passed the soreness was gone, not leaving a trace of anything. Mrs. Jeannette H. Block, 281 Rosedale St., Rochester, N. Y." "If some men 'magined dey had money,' said Uncle Ebien, "as easy as dey 'magined dey has brains, dey'd be in trouble all de time foh overdrawn' deir accounts." Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when it is exposed to the surface surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly degrade. The good cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., tolerates no mercury, and is taken internally, directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's marsh cure, you get the best marsh cure, is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonial free. Sold by Druggists. Price, 75c. per bottle. Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation. No more do we talk Of the man with the hoe Here's the man with the shovel To clean off the snow. When You Buy Starch When You Buy Starch Buy Defiance and get the best, 16 oz. for 10 cents. Once used, always used.

Many who formerly smoked 100 cigars, now smoke Lewis' "Single Binder" straight 50 cigar. The best combination of the best tobacco. Lewis' Factory, Peoria, Ill. A pair of deaf mutes, who were re- cently married, are said to be unspeakably happy. The Best Results in Starching can be obtained only by using Defiance Starch, besides getting 4 oz. more for same money—no cooking required. "There are two things," reflected Uncle Allen Sparks, that money won't buy—happiness and hair. Look at John D. Rockefeller's face, and then look at his head." I am sure Piso's Cure for Consumption saved my life three years ago—Mrs. Thos. Robbins, Maple Street, Norwich, N. Y., Feb. 17, 1900. It is easier to return compliments than borrowed umbrellas.

"That punch bowl!" said the West Baltham house hostess; "is a genuine cut glass." "That's right," remarked her husband; "cut from $2 to $1.98." TEA How different tea and coffee feel! even good tea and coffee. In every package of Schilling's Best Tea is a booklet: How to Make Good Tea. It takes more than creased trousers to make a gentleman. Sensible Housekeepers will have Defiance Starch, not alone because they get one-third more for the same money, but also because of superior quality. "Have you read anything about our new locomotive?" No, but I am sure it has plenty of puffs." TALK OF PEACE WITH WARLIKE INDICATIONS Emperor Nicholas and His Advisers in St. Petersburg, Jan. 9, 2:10 a. m.—The conference which Emperor Nicholas has been holding with members of the council of the empire, M. Witte and other members and advisers, on the internal and external situations have not yet been concluded, but nothing else has occurred which would indicate that the government is prepared to depart from its present program of continuing the war to the bitter end. Nevertheless talk of peace was heard Sunday in many quarters, the foundation for it being ascribed to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged position in favor of such a course on the ground that, aside from the humiliation to military prestige involved, it would mean the relinquishment of Manchuria, to which Russia already is formally pledged. There is no confirmation of this statement of Count Lamsdorff's position beyond the general knowledge that he always has belonged to the peace party. It is quite probable that the peace talk gossip has been produced by the arrival of foreign papers, as it receives no encouragement in responsible quarters here. The belief which existed in exceptionally well informed diplomatic circles that Japan would follow the fall of Port Arthur with moderate peace propositions has not been realized. Up to the present time nothing has reached the government either through the United States or other channels. Diplomats here cannot figure out the general lines of a treaty at this juncture which both the belligerents could accept, but realize that if Japan makes any sort of offer, unless it is rejected outright as not entertainable, negotiations will be opened, and negotiations once entered upon friends of both parties could use their good offices to bring about terms. This is the only hope for a termination of the war which diplomats can see. Representative Dead. Denver, Jan. 9.—A dispatch from Holly, Colo., last night says: Hon. S. F. White, float representative of Las Animas, Dent and Prowers counties, died suddenly last night of stomach trouble. He was born in Coloma, Wisconsin, in 1850, and moved to Montgomery county, Kansas, in 1870, where he was engaged in the general merchandise business for several years. While there he also served as a deputy sheriff. He moved to western Kansas in 1887 and was admitted to the bar in 1888. He was county attorney for Greeley county, Kansas, several years. Mr. White moved to Holly, Colorado, in 1898 and conducted a general merchandise store here. He was prominent in political and business circles and was the first mayor of Holly. Mr. White was elected representative on the Republican ticket at the last election. He was a man of strong character and integrity and the loss to the community and to the Legislature will be greatly felt. The body was sent to Longton, Kansas, to-day for burial there. Republican County Officers Seated Denver, Jan. 8.—In accordance with a ruling made yesterday by the Supreme Court, the vote of ten Denver precincts is ordered eliminated from the count by the elections commission and the commission is ordered to issue certificates of election to those county officers receiving the highest number of votes after the votes from these ten precincts have been taken out. The effect of this ruling is to give certificates of election to every Republican candidate for county office, excluding every Democrat, even Assessor Alexander, whose majority hitherto had not been affected by the court's previous action in ordering out of the count five Denver precincts. This will give the office to Christopher C. Gird, the Republican candidate. The total number of Democratic votes returned from these precincts was 2,956. The Republican vote was 443, leaving a total Democratic loss of 2,513 votes. Sale of Leiter Stock. Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 8.—In the District Court yesterday Judge R. H. Scott ordered Luke Voorhees to sell to the highest bidder at public auction on the steps of the court house of Laramie county, on January 30th, $363,730 worth of cattle and horses belonging to the firm of Levi Z. Leiter, deceased, and James H. Pratt. Of the live stock, 13,121 head of cattle valued at $273,820 and 344 head of horses valued at $9,920, are located in Sheridan county, and 3,651 head of cattle valued at $73,920 and 187 head of horses valued at $6,070, are located in Sheridan county. In addition to the live stock a large amount of farm machinery, etc., will be sold at auction. The live stock will be offered in lots of not less than 500 head. The personal property of the firm in Laramie county is assessed for taxes at less than one-fifth of the value represented to the court. The sale is for the benefit of the estate. Killed in Wreck Denver, Jan. 9.—A Republican special from Durango, Colo., last night says: The engine of an east-bound Rio Grande freight train left the track at a point about twenty-five miles west of Alamosa this morning and Engineer Warner Campbell and Fireman Bert Martin were killed. Two cars were derailed, but no one else was injured. Campbell's body was terribly mangled and death was instantaneous. Martin jumped and struck on his head. He lived about twenty minutes. Both men were single. Campbell's parents lived in Louisville, Kentucky, and Martin's parents on a ranch near Alamosa. Campbell was a member of the Elks and Knights Templars. PEABODY'S PLAN TO CONTEST ADAMS' ELECTION Purposes to Begin Proceedings at Once and Demand Full and Thorough Investigation. Denver, Jan. 10.—Governor James H. Peabody yesterday issued the following statement: To the People of Colorado: For two years, as chief executive of this state, I have endeavored to enforce the laws, maintain good order, and establish prosperity for Colorado. Yet, for some reason a bitter and unfair political war has been waged against me. Investigation of the conduct of the recent election has convinced me that I have been fairly re-elected governor of this state, and I am satisfied that the election returns as first published are not truthful. It is my purpose to at once inaugurate a contest, so that all the facts about the election may be presented fully and fairly to the Legislature and to the public. The frauds practiced against me were so manifest that it was first proposed to have been thoroughly investigated before the publishing of the returns by the Legislature; and the claim that this method of investigation, as originally contemplated by the Legislature is unconstitutional, is not well founded. Yet this claim became so widespread that this method was abandoned, so that even unjust criticism could not be made against the loyalty to the constitution and to the best interests of the state of those whose desires are for the uplifting and betterment of the commonwealth. We have now adopted the very line of action which those seeking to conceal the truth regarding the frauds and outrages of the recent election have emphatically declared to be constitutional. All I desire is the truth, that the people shall know. The only manner in which to reveal it is to continue a searching examination of all phases of the recent frauds and election debauchery, until the public ascertains the contents of every ballot box, and all the circumstances surrounding the accomplishment of the spurious results obtained. I appeal to the people of Colorado to await the result without prejudice and then to support with public opinion whichever one of the gubernatorial candidates has received a majority of the honest votes. I refuse to believe that the best interests of Colorado can be subserved by quietly summitting to an alleged adverse majority which even a partial investigation has already disclose I is but a myth—a travesty on a Republican form of government, an insult to the intelligence of the public and a brazen, open and desperate attack on the perpetuity of our institutions and the purity of our elective franchise. For myself, I desire no office tainted with fraud. The anarchy of the ballot box stuffer is as far-reaching as the anarchy of the dynamiter, and I shall continue my fight to eradicate both from the confines of Colorado. Respectfully. JAMES H. PEABODY. Governor Folk Inaugurated. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 10.—Promptly at noon yesterday Joseph W. Folk was inaugurated governor of Missouri. The ceremonies took place in the House of Representatives' hall, which had been appropriately decorated. Folk in his inaugural address said in part: "Partisanship is a good thing, sometimes, but patriotism is a better thing all the time. Partisanship is well enough when it does not conflict with patriotism; but patriotism is a higher virtue than partisanship. "Some of you are Democrats, some are Republicans, all are Missourians. In the discharge of official duties let us be Missourians before we are anything else. Do not forget that you will be aiding the party you may belong to most by giving the public the highest service. You cannot help your party by injuring the public. One may be in private life a Democrat or a Republican, but when he steps into public office he becomes a public servant—a servant of all the people. "When you come before the people to give an account of your stewardship, the account must be for public service, and not for party work. Your party nominated you; the people elected you and sent you here to serve the public, and by that service you will reflect credit or discredit on your party." Two Indictments Quashed. Denver, Jan. 10.—Two of the indictments against former State Auditor Charles W. Crouter were quashed by Judge John I. Mullins in the West Side Criminal Court yesterday. Two indictments still remain against the former auditor and in these cases the district attorney is ordered by the court to furnish a bill of particulars. The accused was indicted on charges of embezzling state funds on four counts, and the alleged defalcations amount to several thousands of dollars. Attorneys Charles C. Post, Milton Smith and James D. Merwin represented the defendant. They filed the motions to quash in the two cases, alleging that the law under which they had been brought had been declared unconstitutional. They were sustained by the court. The alleged crime was the misappropriation of money paid by the Catalpa Mining Company for a state corporation license. Death of Louise Michel. Paris, Jan. 10.—Louise Michel, prominent as a communist and revolutionary leader for the past five years, died yesterday in Marseilles, aged seventy-five. Death followed an attack of pneumonia while she was on a lectur tour of southern France. Romance surrounded the childhood of the woman who was to be noted as the fiercest petroleum in the ranks of the commune and on the barricades. In the siege she worked indefatigably in an ambulance corps, and, donning the uniform of a national guardsman, fought bravely against the Prussians, but, joining the communards, she planned to kill Thiers as she planned to kill Napoleon.

Alva Adams was inaugurated Tuesday as Governor of the Commonwealth of Colorado. The COLORADO STATESMAM is glad to note that the worrying factions in the Republican ranks have again come together and are working harmoniously; this is as it should be. We were in hope of announcing this week the appointment of some colored person to some honorable position in some of our state offices, but up to this writing none have been named. The men of our race should remember that when they are in the public places, under the constant surveillance of members of other races, who seek to ascertain the premium that we place on true woman-hood among us. We should not, in public places, be guilty of any misconduct, or violation of the rules of polite society in the presence of feminine members of our race, any more so than a white man should: We should eschew all vulgar expressions and familiarities and deport ourselves in a quiet gentleman-like way. Self respect insures general respect, and respect for our own people be gets the respect of others. HIGH IDEALS. You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears," so can you judge a man by his ideals. No man is higher than his ideals—thus if a man has high, lofty ideals you will find a man of worth, integrity, thrift and push, because his ideals are high. But a man who idealizes the low, mean and degrading things is sure to be an image of his ideals. It is said to be a scientific truth that man lives by ideals—by placing his whole mind, his whole being in and on some idea or ideals and strives to accomplish or follow his ideal. Man, by nature, is "prone to err." Thus it is more easy for man to become wedded to erring ideas or ideals than it is for him to grasp hold of the lofty and more elevating ideas. For this reason it is incumbent on the strong to set proper ideas for the guidance of the weak that they may loose sight of the lower ideas and place their mind on higher things. Father and mother, preacher and teachers all owe it to themselves to keep the mind of the young on those ideas which will give them grander and more noble ideals in life.—Searchlight. The Negro who attempts to do business in any form, must be doubly prepared in his finances. and faith in his ability to grapple with the odds with which he must contend, coming as they do from both races. The Negro is a long ways from base, and a very few of them know it, but on the contrary many of them are swell head, puffed up self opinionated, and in short, ignorant as to the conditions which surround them. If our people would be led by their more intelligent brethren into organizations other than burying societies, such as will mass their earning and make them, felt in some given direction, we would soon grow stronger as as a race, as well as put to shame the malignities heaped upon us by our enemies. When it comes to business as a race, we have yet to learn the very first principles are necessary for success. It does seem that we ought to see that if the girls of the race are to get employment at all, they must get it from colored business men, and if we would support those men, among us, who attempting to run business, we in a measure, are making a place for our children. Every dollar spent with colored merchant, whether in a publishing house, drug store, grocery, or what not, we are helping ourselves, and some day the very man from whom we buy will be able to hire some colored man's daughter or son.

A real Jap was secured to play the part. From the moment of his admission at the stage door he showed a keen interest in the rehearsal, he thrust the special edition containing the war news in his pocket and applied himself to the mastering of his lines. On discovering that his name in the play was to be "Huishi," the bland smile forsook his face and approaching Mr. Mann he inquired if he could not be called by his own name. "Why?" asked Mr. Mann, "what objection can you have to Huishi?" "Huishi mean what you call cow. I no cow. I Japanese gentleman!" The actor conciliated him, and on the distinct understanding that he was not in any sense regarded as a cow the Jap resumed his task and divided his attention wonderingly between the "business" and a pair of pink property corsets. Rather a Puzzler. While stumping the state during the last gubernatorial campaign, Gov. Frazier of Tennessee entered the office of a village hotel, where he discovered a corpulent German seated at a table, writing. Suddenly the Teuton paused in his task, frowned, scratched his head, chewed the end of his pen, and looked so obviously worried that Mr. Frazier good-naturedly asked: "My friend, can I be of any service to you?" "Yah," was the prompt and relieved reply; "please tell me vedder you puts an 'e' behindt 'before'?" It was several seconds before the affable candidate grasped the man's meaning and gave the desired information.—New York Times. Four o'Clock. "What time is it, please?" One day I said To the little flowers In the garden bed. As all the bees are still As the big gray rock. Till one blossom answered, "It's four o'clock." "How do you know?" I asked the flower; "You have no watch To tell you he heur Do you hear a bell Or a tick, tock, tock That you close your eyes When it's four o'clock." But the pretty blossom Would not say How it always knew The time of day. It nodded its head To the big gray rock. And sleepily murmured, "It's-four-o'clock." Parts With English Estates. The duke of Life is one of the few land owners in Great Britain who do not believe in the accumulation of vast estates. For some years he has steadily parted with his land as opportunity afforded, holding that one man cannot control large tracts of territory to the best advantage of the community. He is probably the only total abstainer among the dukes in the house of lords. The Devil Grows Clumsy A Malden woman whose sprained knee was made well by faith alone two days after she fell from her bicycle, explains the accident: "Satan had a special spite against my bicycle, because it was dedicated to God before I ever mounted it." Yet the bicycle did not suffer. The devil is growing clumsy.—Boston Advertiser. Will Marry Sweethearts' Mother. The sweetheart of a man at Colmar, Prussia, died some time ago. He was accepted subsequently by her sister, who died, however, two days before the wedding day. In a few weeks no will wed the mother of his two for her sweetheart. THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNORSHIP Denver, Jan. 9, 1904.—And now for the contest. In adopting the usual method of seating officials elected on the "face of the returns" and then instituting a contest where fraud is alleged, the Republican leaders have given general satisfaction, although there is considerable complaint among those who are familiar with the details of the frauds. They argue that a system that will permit a governor to take the office, even for a day, when the fact that he was elected by fraudulent votes is a matter of common knowledge, needs immediate changing. The fact that the frauds exceeded by far the plurality of Mr. Adams is freely conceded by all who have had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the results of the investigation. This evidence and these ballot boxes will soon be examined, however, and the office surely returned to Mr. Peabody. Conservative Action. In adopting this conservative course when they had the power to push through a more decisive and radical course, it is pointed out will result in great advantage to the Republican organization. The leaders point to the fact that when the Democrats had the power they threw out Republicans regardless of law, constitution or decency, and argue that this is just the reason they, the Republicans, should go slow and tread the straight and narrow path of regularity. In the meantime the full extent of the frauds is becoming better appreciated as the Supreme Court removes the lids from the boxes of the various precincts. Three boxes opened last week showed about 500 Democratic ballots written by two or three persons. In addition to this the evidence has been more sensational and startling, if that were possible, than that given in the earlier cases. Court watchers and other witnesses testified to the fact that in each precinct the challenges of the Republican challengers were absolutely ignored. One witness kept a list of names of voters who had their names voted upon by impersonators. When the challengers would publicly denounce the impersonators as frauds and call attention to the fact that they were personally acquainted with the party who was being impersonated, the Democratic judges would ignore the objection and accept the bogus votes. Thousands of fraudulent votes were cast by this method, and of course the number can never be accurately ascertained. Not even the handwriting experts can pick out such votes. How Repeaters Were Paid. The most interesting testimony was that of a witness who described the manner in which he saw repeaters herded, given ballots and money for voting them. The following bit of testimony referring to a man named Ely, a Democratic precinct committeeman, is especially rich: "I saw Ely pay two men two dollars about fifty feet from the polling place. Then he said to them, 'Go on in and vote.' The men went into the polling place. I saw Ely go into the family entrance of the Coliseum saloon with nine men. I stood on the curb and watched them. I saw Ely give them bills and silver dollar pieces and slips of paper. Then they came out, three at a time, and went into the polling place. I saw each one given a ballot and saw each one vote it." This is sufficiently specific to satisfy the most exacting. That a conspiracy existed involving the election officials cannot be denied, for such repeating as this, which can be established by hundreds of witnesses and which has been established in every case in the Supreme Court, could not possibly be carried out without the connivance and assistance of the Democratic election officials at the polling places. In this box the expert found 167 ballots written by the same person and he declared in his sworn statement that if he had time to examine the other ballots carefully he could have found much more. The total vote in this precinct was 290. This is a sample box and like others it smells to heaven. There is absolutely no question about the existence of a well planned conspiracy, and that it will run down many prominent Democratic politicians before the examinations end, is almost a certainty. Row in the House. - One of the most unfortunate features of the late unpleasantness in the Legislature was the action of the Republicans in getting into a disgraceful squabble. Certain members, few in number, but aggressive and persistent, undertook to antagonize the plans of the majority. The confusion and disorder which resulted in the House when the two presiding officers undertook to preside at the same time gave the yellow press an excellent on- portunity for a sensation. Hair-brained reporters of hair-brained papers rushed to the telegraph offices and wired the most absurdly sensational reports all over the country. To this was added the unjust, and in many instances, absolutely false statements of the Patterson papers which were run in big headlines. Colorado has again caused a smile to pass over the countenance of the general outside public, but it will come off. Growing Sane. Colorado is coming to its senses at last. The conservative and rational action finally taken by the Republican Legislature in the Peabody-Adams matter is a splendid sign of a return to sanity. Colorado is surely Republican and if this sort of policy is to be followed, the fact that Colorado is a Republican state will be but another way of saying that it is a progressive and prosperous state. Our Legislators. I referred last week to the high average of intelligence displayed by a composite picture of our assemblymen. While talking to the special representative of the Associated Press, who was sent to Denver when the session opened as a sort of war correspondent, on the floor of the House the other day, he called attention to this very fact and remarked that in all his experiences with legislatures all over the country, from the Goeble war in Kentucky to the senatorial war in Illinois and California, he had never seen a crowd that averaged up better in appearance. And, by the way, it is a satisfaction to know that this representative of the greatest press association on earth did his best to remove the sting from his report of the absurd performances in the Legislature last week. He has a bigger constituency than any newspaper writer in the state—it is the entire Union, and for once that great news gatherer did Colorado justice and withheld the ridicule that usually lurks in the news reports from this state. In the House. Those who were disappointed in the selection of the speaker of the House have found that Mr. Dickson is not the easy mark which they were led to believe. He has presided with firmness and dignity, and at no time shown any indication of too much weakness or too much strength. He has a good voice, a considerate, gentlemanly manner and has made friends from among those who at the start-set out with the firm determination to dislike him. The aggressive tactics of the three or four strong men on the floor, each of whom feels that he is capable of leading, has made it interesting for the new speaker. Among these men are Breckenridge, Griffith, Stephen and Frewen. The latter is a peppery debater and has drawn the fire of the other leaders upon himself by his habit of losing his temper and indulging in sharp personal repartee. He is, however, an affable and excellent gentleman under his stern outer surface, and will be better understood before the session is over. The "combination" in the Senate to force the distribution of patronage to be made under its direction has caused considerable friction, but it is believed that the difficulties arising from this cause are now about over and that harmony and good feeling will prevail. Of course, the Democrats predict war and rapine, but that prediction is to be expected. Strong Peabody Sentiment. The papers and letters that come in from the state, as well as the reports of travelers and commercial drummers, all point unmistakably to the fact that the general public was prepared to see Mr. Peabody seated, and the burden of contesting will fall on Mr. Adams, and now that the burden has been shifted by the Republicans themselves to their honestly-elected candidate, a renewed interest is taken in his case and he has the sympathy and support of people who heretofore were opposed to seating him. The evidence will be produced and there is absolutely no question that he will be seated if justice is done. And a Republican Legislature will surely no justice to its own candidates. Colorado is to be congratulated on the solution of the late trouble, and notwithstanding the howl of Senator Patterson's newspapers which will also go up when the unseating comes, as it has during the past week, the people Colorado will be satisfied when they know as a result of the investigation that the man who got the most honest votes is to be seated. It is not a question of men, but of simple even-handed justice. Mr. Adams, in accepting a tainted office, knowing that the vast majority of the people believe him not honestly elected, has materially weakened his case. It would seem that the average man would prefer to have the investigation before rather than after taking an office of this sort, but the office itch has a strong hold on the entire Adams family, and nothing short of an earthquake or the mandate of a higher authority, backed by a good, strong argument, could induce him to shake loose. Mr. Adams is nevertheless a pleasant and affable gentleman, and his love of office has become well known that it is regarded as a pardonable weakness and overlooked just as the excessive use of gum or retneckies would be A.P.

Years of increasing business have taught us that "If cleanliness isn't next to godliness," it is, however, a great life preserver. We are right to attach this importance to our unsurpassed process of cleaning on account of its influence on health. But even the cleanest of us think it sufficient to have shirts and underwear regularly and frequently cleaned, and it is quite forgotten that it is hardly less important to wear clean suits, or clothes. You consider it sufficient to brush them, and to free their outsides from dust and dirt, not thinking that such garments, especially woolen ones, form a highly favorable nidus for bacteria and disease germs of every kind. In restaurants, theaters and concert halls, in ballrooms, in public conveyances and many other places, one is forced into close contact with all sorts and conditions of men—healthy and sick, dirty and clean—and have the most ample opportunity for accumulating disease germs from their garments. The normal activity of the skin as a remover of injurious matter from the body is impossible, except with porous and well-ventilated clothing. We take vapor and electric baths to open our pores and then cover them with clothes of which the pores are clogged with dirt and ancient perspiration. This ought to be enough to show that our outer as well as our inner garments should undergo a regular and thorough cleaning. Having been laconically shown that the cleaning of clothes is a primary requisite for sustenance of good health—a money saver as well—you should intrust such clothing to the or to firms whose reputation is valued too highly to turn out unsatisfactory work.

The sign of addition is usually called plus. It is also expressed by the doctor's visits. Mathematics is called an exact science, probably because it exacts so much brainwork. Mathematics is that science which teaches us how not to let others do us as we would do them. Some people are natural born mathematicians. They find it as easy as falling off a logarithm. Things equal to the same thing are equal to one another, but there are some things few of us feel equal to. In the expression "two beers," "two" is called the coefficient of "beers," but it isn't efficient for the co. The radical sign indicates that a root is to be extracted. When the dentist tackles the correct tooth, it is the square root. A "prime" quantity is one that cannot be divided, but a million dollars can fall under that head under some circumstances. Multiplication is vexation; Division's a trifle worse; But an incommensurable equation Is a blighting and deadly curse. It is impossible to square the circle, but it is always easy, to square the policeman.—David H. Dodge in New York Cimes. THE TWO JIMS SOCIAL CLUB Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort.

One's thoughts turn to the Arabian Nights when mention is made of a bedroom suite in solid silver, but such is the character of an order just placed at Sheffield, England. The name of the customer is so far secret. and the only information which can be obtained is that the instructions have come from the far east, and that the question of price is only a minor consideration! The designs are of oriental character and of a most elaborate description. The suite, which is in solid silver throughout, includes a bedstead, a dressing table, a dozen chaira three foot-baths and three hot water cans. The bedstead is of the most ornate character. Each of the four pillars will be surmounted by gracefully modeled female figures nearly three feet in height. The moulding of the room and other decorations will also be of sterling silver. WITH THE CCST OF WAR What Might Be Done for the Uplifting of the World "Give me the money," says a recent speculative philosopher, "that has been spent in war and I will purchase every foot of land on the globe. I will clothe every man woman and child in an attire of which kings and queens would be proud. I will build school houses on every hillside and in every valley over the whole earth; I will build an academy in every town and endow it, a college in every state and fill it with able professors; I will crown every hill with a place of worship consecrated to the promulgation of peace; I will support in every pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath morning the chime on one hill shall answer to the chime on another around the earth's wide circumference, and the voice of prayer and the song of praise should ascend like a universal holocaust to heaven."

George Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, is the inventor of "Boyd's Punch," one of the longest and most searching libations known to history. One night an abstemious party, who had guidelessly sampled several at a session some months previously, sat alongside of a man who was trying his first, much to the delight of the admiring inventor at the head of the table. "Aren't you drinking one of 'Boyd's?'?" inquired the novitiate. The experienced one shook his head. "By Jove, you don't know what you are missing," insisted the new man, smacking his lips. "Ch! yes, I do," said the old one, with confidence, "and because I do why I am missing it."—New York Times --- BORN AND HEALY UNSEATED IN COLORADO SENATE Denver, Jan. 13.—Two Democratic members were unseated by the Senate yesterday, Senator Born of Alamosa and Senator Healy of the Sixth (Leadville) district. The Healy and Born resolutions recite practically the same facts. The Born resolution recites that he received but 1,720 votes, while Senator Dick had 4,725. The Healy resolution follows: "Whereas, the duly qualified electors of the Sixtn senatorial district on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1902, did elect and return as senator from said district to the Senate of the state of Colorado, the Hon. Jesse F. McDonald; and, "Whereas, the said Jesse F. McDonald did receive 2,516 votes as such senator and his nearest opponent, Daniel Healy, did receive 2,093 votes; and, "Whereas, the State Canvassing Board did duly and correctly canvass the returns from said senatorial district and in pursuance of said canvass, did declare the said Jesse F. McDonald elected as senator from said Sixth senatorial district of Colorado, and the secretary of state, to-wit: David A. Mills, did issue to the said Jesse F. McDonald a certificate of election as such senator; and, "Whereas, the committee on privileges and elections of the Senate of the Fourteenth General Assembly did wrongfully and unjustly report in favor of seating said Daniel Healy and unseating said Jesse F. McDonald. "Whereas, the action of the Senate in the adoption of said report was unjust and wrongful, and the same was never approved by the Senate sitting as a legal body. "Whereas, the lieutenant governor, the duly authorized and courteous presiding officer of the Senate—the Senate being in a disorderly condition—refused to put the question to a vote before the Senate on the adoption of the report of the committee on privileges and elections; be it "Resolved, that the action of the Senate taken on the 19th day of January, 1903, be hereby rescinded and the said J. F. McDonald be declared to have been entitled to his seat in this Senate, and to have been entitled to full privileges of membership herein, and the said D. Healy be declared an usurper and not entitled to a seat in this body or to recognition as a senator of this body. "And the said Jesse F. McDonald having been elected and being duly qualified as a lieutenant governor of the state of Colorado, and it being impossible by reason thereof for the said Jesse F. McDonald to take his seat as such senator, therefore the seat of Jesse F. McDonald as senator from the Sixth district is hereby declared vacant." After a sharp debate the resolution was adopted by a vote of 19 to 13. Senator Sapp filed a protest against the unseating of Born, and asked that it be printed in the Journal of the day's proceedings. Senator Taylor filed a similar protest against the unseating of Daffel Healy. Senator Horace T. De Long of Grand Junction (Republican) filed a protest against the unseating of Senator Healy by a majority vote, on the ground that it is in violation of the constitution, stating, however, that he stands ready to vote in favor of the expulsion of Senator Healy, which requires a two-thirds vote. PEABODY'S CONTEST. Notice of Contest Filed With General Assembly. Denver, Jan. 13.—In the Senate yesterday morning after the morning exercises and reading of the journal, the resolution which forms the indictment against Governor Adams was presented by Senator M. E. Lewis of Fremont county, and reads as follows: "Whereas, Hon. James H. Peabody has, in pursuance of the statute in such cases made and provided, this day filed with the secretary of this, the honorable Senate of the Fifteenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the notice of his intention to contest the election of the Hon. Alva Adams, heretofore declared elected governor of the state of Colorado for the term of two years commencing at noon Tuesday, January 10, A. D. 1905; now, therefore, be it "Resolved. By the Senate of the Fifteenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado (the honorable House concurring) that the General Assembly aforesaid, of the state of Colorado, do meet in joint convention on Tuesday, the 17th day of January. A. D. 1905, at the hour of 2 o'clock p. m., to take action in such contest; and be it further "Resolved. That the secretary of the Senate be and he is hereby directed, upon the adoption of this resolution by both houses, to immediately notify said contestee, the Hon. Alva Adams, that he is required to be and appear before said General Assembly, in joint convention aforesaid, at the day, hour and place aforesaid, fixed by the resolution, for hearing said contest, then and there to answer said contest, as by law provided. The resolution was adopted after an ineffectual attempt by the Democrats to postpone the date three days longer in order to give more time for preparation. Saved From Cannibalism Waterford, Ireland, Jan. 13.—The steamer Zeno arrived here Wednesday with the captain and twelve men of the American steam dredge Texas, from Dantzic, via Southampton, December 12, for Galveston, which founded in a storm off the Hebrides. The crew entered the small boats, but one, containing the chief officer and twenty-one men, sank immediately, and all its occupants were drowned. The survivors drifted for several days before being picked up. The survivors, who suffered terribly from cold and hunger, say that just prior to sighting the Zeno they had drawn lots to decide which should be killed to provide food for the rest. GOLD THAT IS NOT GOLD. Effective Substitute for Decorative Yellow Metal. One more proof that all is not gold that glitters is found in the fact that much of the gold lettering seen on signs and also much of the gliding of picture frames has no gold whatever about it. Among laymen the opinion prevails that all such decoration requires the actual use of gold leaf, but the reality is different, and a substitute that defies detection has been widely used for some time. The exact effect of gold is secured by using a leaf of either silver or aluminum under yellow paint. The metal backing gives the required luster and he paint gives the required color. This method cannot be used in all cases, because the paint is of peculiar quality and requires putting on with an even thickness. For this reason it is generally applicable only to flat surfaces. Parts of a gilded picture frame which are molded into waving surfaces generally require genuine gold leaf to cover them.-Philadelphia Record. YOUNG ACTOR'S GREAT SUCCESS. Boy Electrified Theater-Goers Nearly 100 Years Ago. One of the strangest figures of the British stage was "Young Roscius." His other name was William Henry West Betty. He lived until Aug. 24, 1874, although he made his last stage appearance on Aug. 9, 1824, at the age of 32. Theatrical history has no parallel to his childhood. It was this little Irish boy who, after seeing Mrs. Siddons, had declared that he must die if he did not become an actor. He took Belfast by storm in 1803, when not quite 12, and nearly stifled scores of Londoners on Dec. 1, 1804. Footguards and officers were overpowered by the crowd and gentlemen charged through the boxes and jumped by twenties into the "pit" for places. Master Betty brought $86,050 to Drury Lane in twenty-eight nights. William Pitt adjourned the house of commons to let the members see him as Hamlet, and his boom lasted until 1808. His adult return to the stage was brief and a failure. Irishman King of Portugal: An Irishman was once king of Portugal, or at least he once ruled in the king's stead over that country. In November, 1640 there was a revolution in Portugal, brought about by the tyrannical exactions of Miguel Vasconcelos, the secretary of state. The hated minister was shot and the vice-queen, Margaret of Savoy, abdicated. The crown was offered to the duke of Braganza, who was living at Villavicosia. Meanwhile, until the duke should accept the crown the people of Lisbon elected a popular and influential Irish merchant, named John Darcy, who resided in the city, as their nominal king. Darcy accepted the Lonor conferred upon him and bore the title of "king of Portugal" from Dec. 1 to Dec. 6, 1640. Value of New York Canal Army engineering experts declare that the great canal in the state of New York will be of enormous military value in time of war. "The uses to which the canal may be put in the event of war," says Col. Thomas W. Symons, who is in charge, "have not been sufficiently understood. For instance, torpedo boats, go-boats and all the smaller auxiliary craft of the navy may be taken from the ocean to the lakes or from the lakes to the ocean through the ditch. The tremendous quantities of supplies that would have to be moved before, during and after war, could also be transported through the same channel at a great saving of expense over the cost of transport by rail."

Close shaving is the result of a habit which, according to the testimony of a barber, grows stronger every day. "It's like drink or morphine," he said, "and all a man can do to break himself is to grow a beard and start fresh afterward. For a while he is content with an ordinary shave. Then he begins to think after a few years that he does not look clean enough, and he wants a closer shave. From that time he is lost. I have been in this business for twenty years and I have never seen the man who did not go through that experience." No Use for Coat Stretcher. Many years of hard work on the farm had made the old man roundshouldered and his coat fitted badly. His son in the city sent him a coat stretcher on which to hang the coat at night. On his next visit to the farm the young man asked how the coat stretcher worked. His father looked a little embarrassed and then confessed: "I can't stand it on," said he. "It was real good of you to send it. Your mother astened it to my coat with tape, but I wasn't comfortable in it and I had to take it off." Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing?

Large Attendance and Fine Display of Fruit—President Coburn Dilates on Apple Prospects. Denver, Jan. 12.—Fully a hundred representative horticulturists of the state were present at the rooms of the state Society in the capitol building yesterday morning when the annual meeting was called to order. They represented nearly every section of the state. The state rooms had been handsomely decorated with the displays that were used at the St. Louis Exposition. Among the displays of fruit that attracted marked attention were nineteen varieties of apples from the Madison orchard, north of Denver. Governor Adams and many members of the Legislature were present at the opening. Governor Adams welcomed the representatives. Hon. J. F. Callbreath, president of the chamber of commerce, added a welcome in behalf of the city. President Coburn read his annual address and the reports of the state inspectors were presented. Secretary Shute also presented her annual report. At the afternoon meeting the following committees were announced: Legislative—W. B. Felton, V. Devinny, M. A. Shute, Prof. C. P. Gillette, S. J. Palmer. Resolutions—G. J. Spear, V. Devinny, A. J. Garrison. A greeting was sent to the members of the state grange asking them to visit the society on Friday. V. Devinny of Denver read an interesting paper on the disposal of surplus fruits. He told at length of what has been done in Nebraska in evaporating and drying fruits, from the first windfalls to the last packing and he also spoke of preparing cider for vinegar, etc. President Coburn's annual address follows, in part: "Our apples are now in demand from the Atlantic to the Pacific and on all foreign markets. One day last-October at the Paonia station I loaded one car and another party loaded one. Mine went to Los Angeles, California, and the other went to New York city. Most of our apples shipped out of the state were sold f. o. b. shipping station, for 75 cents to $1.25 per box. "Twenty years ago there were no Colorado apples on our local markets, to-day they are sold on the principal markets of the Eastern and Western Hmispheres, and, you, my friends, have, through your persistent energy and abiding faith, helped to create these results. We should all feel a pride in knowing that each and every one of us have lent our feeble assistance to this great and growing industry. PRUIT GROWERS Meeting of the Colorado Horticultural Society. Denver, Jan. 12.—There were two organizations of horticulturists in session in Denver yesterday. The State Board of Horticulture opened its annual meeting and the convention of the Colorado Horticultural Society finished its work and adjourned. Officers were elected yesterday, and many interesting papers were read, at the convention of the Colorado Horticultural Society. E. F. Stephens, the Nebraska orchardist and scientist, who is attending the convention, read a paper on "Orcharding in Western Nebraska," in which he took occasion to compliment in the highest terms the fruit grown in Colorado, and said it was superior to that grown in any state in the Union. The following are the officers of the society: C. H. Easley, Golden, president; W. Frank Crowley, Montrose, vice president; George E. Richardson, Denver, secretary; Mrs. Lute Wilcox, Denver, treasurer; board of directors, W. S. Haswell of Denver, W. G. M. Stone of Denver and Henri S. McClelland of Fort Collins. "How to Examine Fruit Trees" was a subject ably handled by E. D. Smith of Masonville. He told the horticulturists how to detect the various forms of orchard pests and diseases, and how to doctor them when found. He deplored the increase of the woolly avis and the coddling moth in the orchards of the state, and said he had been signally successful in fighting the pests with a spray of tobacco water and by depositing a liberal quantity of tobacco dust at the roots. Other papers were: "Extending Our Forest Area," Frederick Von Holdt, Alcott; "Ways and Means for Marketing Fruit," W. J. Galligan, Loveland; "What One Association Has Accomplished," A. H. Root, Edwater; "The Object and Purposes of a Horticultural Society," John Berry, Denver. Reports of committees showed the society to be in a flourishing condition. The first paper to be read was one by J. H. Harris of Dolores on the "Possibilities of Fruit in Southwestern Colorado." W. P. Collins followed with a paper on "The Combination of Bees and Fruit," and advised combining the two. He gave statistics of the profits of both branches of business and showed where the income of the fruit grower might be substantially increased by the addition of hives. "Education and Exhibitions" by Prof. W. L. Carlyle of the agricultural college at Fort Collins, was a technical discourse on horticulture in its various forms and the value of fruit displays. Topics for general discussion were introduced as follows: "Cost of Growing an Orchard," "Top Working Trees," "Securing Competent Help," "Fruit Evaporators and Canneries," "New Fruits," "Fertilization and Cover Crops," and "What About Tree Agents." No discussion of the servant girl problem ever brought forth a more lively discussion among the city folks than the subject of "Securing Competent Help" among the horticulturists. The tree agents also brought forth much interesting testimony. Proposed Ship Subsidies. Subventions of $5 per gross ton annually; subsidies for the carrying of mails from Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico ports to South and Central America and Cuba, and from Pacific ports to Japan, China, the Philippines, Mexico, Central America and the Isthmus of Panama; a tonnage tax on foreign vessels entering United States ports; the creation of a naval volunteer service, and the encouragement of apprentices on ships in foreign trade are provided for in a bill agreed upon by the joint merchant and marine commission, which submitted its report to Congress last week. The commission, composed of five senators and five representatives, was created during the last session of Congress in response to a recommendation by President Roosevelt in his annual message December 7, 1903. An exhaustive investigation was made by the commission of the conditions of the American merchant marine and American commerce, with a view to ascertaining the most feasible means for their development. Hearings were conducted during the year at nearly all the important shipping and commercial centers of the United States. The report deals at length with the handicap upon American shipping created by the subsidies and bounties bestowed upon most of the merchant fleets of foreign governments, which is placed in the van of the lower first cost of foreign ships and the lower cost of maintenance of these ships, due, in both cases, primarily, to lower wages. A table is given showing that nearly all of the foreign powers grant shipping subsidies. France pays more than $8,000,000, and eight other foreign governments more than $1,000,000 each for the encouragement of their merchant marine. As the first essential step in the rehabilitation of merchant shipping the commission proposes to create a force of naval volunteers, composed of the best officers and men of American merchant ships and deep-sea fishing vessels. Necessarily small at first, means for a healthy and sure expansion of the force is provided by the payment of substantial retainers as an inducement to enroll. It is understood that officers and men shall receive their seamen's pay, besides this retainer, during their period of actual instruction. The Navy Department has asked for a reserve of 20,000 men in the bills it has presented to Congress. The report quotes the commissioner of navigation to show that not more than 20,000 American citizens are included in the enrollment of employees on all the American vessels on salt water, which go out of sight of land for any time during the year. Commenting on this lack of material for a naval volunteer force the commission says: "Out of these 20,000 officers and men probably not more than one-half would be eligible for naval volunteer service. . . . It is therefore manifest that shipowners must not only be encouraged to employ these naval volunteers, but encouraged to build more ships to develop an increased naval service, as well as to advance the interests of commerce." WIII Rush Gunnison Canada A. L. Fellows, in charge of the Gunnison irrigation project in Colorado, states that he expects work to commence on construction of cuts and the tunnel without further delay. The secretary of the interior has approved the bonds of the contractors and accepted their contracts. Several large air compressors and other heavy machinery will be purchased in Denver for the tunnel work. The contractors have plans ready to commence on excavating the cut leading to the tunnel and will begin this work immediately. The open cut will be half a mile long. The tunnel will be 30,000 feet in length and carry 1,300 cubic feet of water per second. After emerging from the tunnel the water will be conveyed by 100 miles of canals and laterals and distributed upon 125,000 acres of land. Mr. Fellows will take up the proposed project for irrigating 60,000 acres of land by diverting the waters of the Grand river to the high line ditch, north of Grand Junction. Preliminary surveys have been made and the project found feasible. If a water users' association can be formed, so that all of the water diverted will be used, the reclamation service will proceed with the project, the estimated cost of which is $1,500,000. Director of the Mint Roberts states that coinage machinery for the Denver mint, which has been on exhibition at the World's Fair, St. Louis, is being packed for shipment to Denver. Additional machinery which is being built at Philadelphia will be shipped in time to have it installed and ready for operation July 1st, when the institution will be opened as a coinage mint. It is expected by Director Roberts that legislation will be enacted during this session of Congress authorizing the secretary of the treasury to direct coinage of nickels and pennies at western mints as well as at Philadelphia, the only place where they are now coined. In this event the product of the Denver mint will be these denominations and also subsidiary silver and gold coins. Senator Heyburn has introduced a bill for the relief of entrymen on lands proposed to be irrigated under the reclamation act, and who are unable to cultivate the same and to provide means of support, pending the building of irrigation works. The bill recites that qualified entrymen who have etherofore or shall hereafter make bona fide entry upon lands to be irrigated under the reclamation act may, upon application and a showing that water is not available for irrigating said lands, obtain leave of absence from their entries for period not to exceed six months, during any one year, until water for irrigation is turned into the main canals on the lands to be irrigated. A similar measure has been introduced in the House by Representative Mondell, but is applicable only to entrymen in Wyoming. J. D. CRACO and CAMPIGLIA, Props.

Corporal punishment in the schools of New York was abolished more than thirty years ago—to be exact, in 1870. After this long disuse, the Globe says, a powerful movement has been started for its restoration. No less than eighty-seven of the principals of New York have joined in an appeal to the Board of Education for the right to reestablish the old method of enforcing discipline and incubating in the youthful mind a love of learning. Since the prohibition of the rod the only permitted ways of enforcing discipline have been by censure, marks, complaint to parents or transfer to truant schools. The principals, or the great majority of them, say that for refractory pupils this punishment is not sufficiently biting. They want authority to play upon physical fear as a motive controlling conduct. They point out that in many of the homes from which pupils come the rod, the slipper and the hand are diligently employed to stimulate obedience to and respect for parents.

It has been said on good authority that the highest price ever paid for a writing was given a lawyer in this immediate vicinity, says the Philadelphia North American. A certain railroad company had lost enormous sums of money through damage suits instituted by those injured in grade-crossing accidents. This company had been most particular in the matter of erecting signs at each crossing, but jury after jury decided that these were of small moment, since the warning they conveyed was to "look out for the cars" or "look out for the engine," and in almost every instance it was conclusively proved that the damage was caused by that part of the train not mentioned. So in deserption the railroad commissioned a lawyer of wide depute to compose a sign that would "hold" in court. After some days the following sentence, written on a large sheet of paper, came from the man learned in the law: "Stop! Look! Listen!" Following this came a bill for $10,000. So when you hear some long-tongued individual boasting about a dollar a word Mr. Kipling gets, or the surprising sum paid Richard Harding Davis for articles describing the war he didn't see, dismiss the being as a dealer in anthills, for the lawyer aforementioned got a check for the amount named, and so far as history enlightens us, no one ever before received so much as $2,500 a word. Before the end of a year the lawyer was informed by the president of the road that the new sign had saved many times its cost. "A Wise Woman." Many women wear thin linen underclothing in winter and then they illogically complain of red noses, enlarged veins in the face, rough, red hands and a dry, ill-nourished skin. Now, the way to maintain a soft, supple skin and a clear and pinky complexion is to keep up a plentiful supply of blood near the surface all over the body. A wise women knows that nothing is more destructive to a lovely skin than cold feet. Therefore, even if she indulge in the vanity of spun silk or perforated hose, she uses cork soles in her shoes so as to keep up the circulation of the blood, upon which the skin depends so largely for its softness and luster. Lack of warmth in the abdomen leads to a congested state of the liver and the huge network of blood vessels which control the supply of nourishment to the skin are situated in the abdomen. The middle of the body should be kept warm and free from the chills which cause contraction of the blood vessels,—Chicago News. Congressman's Strenuous Fight. Congressman Van Duzer of Nevada holds that about the most strenuous contest last fall was that waged in his district. His political enemies engaged a New York pugilist to scare him out of the campaign, and the man made haste to announce that he intended to "wipe Van Duzer off deart." The candidate arrived in Reno ignorant of the fellow's existence and was welcomed by a lot of friendly miners. Two of them, each of them over six feet tall and neither afraid of anything, walked with him to his hotel, where the fighting man was waiting. The miners passed Mr. Van Duzer into his room and then went over to where the "scrapper" stood. He looked them over carefully and then backed away. The next train East carried him out of danger. The Maid's Lament. I loved him not; and yet, now he is gone. I feel I am alone. I checked him while he spoke; yet could he speak. Alas! I would not check. For reasons not to love him once I sought, And wearied all my thought To vex myself and him; I now would give My love, could he but live Who lately lived for me, and, when he found 'Twas vain, in holy ground He hid his face amid the shades of death! I waste for him my breath Who wasted his for me; but mine returns. And this lone burns burns With stifling heat, heaving it up in sleep. And waking me to weep Tears that had melted his soft heart; for years Wept he as bitter tears! Merciful God! such was his latest prayer. These may she never share! Quieter is his breath, his breast more cold Than daisies in the mould, Where children spell, athwart the church-yard gate His name and life's brief date. Pray for him, gentle souls, whoe'er you be. And, O, pray, too, for me! —Walter Savage Landor. Heiress Fine Candy Maker. In the slightly improbable event that Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, already popular among New York's debutantes of the season, should ever find herself in an imprecunious condition, she would be able to make a fair living as a bonbon cook. Every school girl can make taffy of course, but the Vanderbilt bud named looks on that as a rudimentary affair. She is learned in the construction of nougats, cream almonds, chocolate creams, caramels and even candied fruits, all of which she is able to manufacture with the skill of a French confectioner. And she delights in preparing such confections, the result being that her chums revel in all sorts of toothsome things without squandering their allowances in sweetshops. Lese Majeste.

In a recent issue of a Japanese magazine, Gicho Sakural writes under the title "The Yellow Blessing." He believes that, for various reasons, which he lays down in detail, what the Russians call the "Yellow Peril" will be really a blessing for the world. In brief, the argument is to the effect that, first the present war has proven that Asiatic races are not morally and physically inferior to Europeans; second, that they are not inferior to the West in matters of lofty moral ideas and humanitarian conception; third, that it is their vocation to spread the humanitarian principles more widely than they have ever been spread before; fourth, that the Japanese soldier is really fighting for constitutional government and against despotism; fifth, that a Japanese triumph will mean a triumph for religious freedom as against Russian religious bigotry; sixth, that one of the causes of Japan's victory is the education which is given in Japan without any distinction of caste or creed; seventh, that this war is holding up before other Asiatic races a good example of what education and liberal ideas can do; eighth, that with the termination of the war, Oriental nations will be in a position to improve their condition along the ways of peace; ninth, that a Japanese triumph will be of immense advantage to the commerce of the Orient; and, tenth, that the Russian people will themselves be benefited by a Japanese victory. Oldest Living Thing. An old yew tree stands in the churchyard at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which De Candolle, nearly a century ago proved to the satisfaction of botanists to be twenty-five centuries old, and another is still standing at Hedsor, in Buclas, which is 3,240 years old. How de Candolle arrived at an apparently correct estimate of the enormous age of these living trees is a simple thing, and the principle is doubtless well known to-day to all. The yew, like most other trees, adds one line, about the tenth of an inch, to its circumference each year. But the oldest living thing in the world to-day, so far as known, is a cypress tree in Chapultepec, Mexico, that is 6,260 years old. Especially for Women. Champion, Mich., Jan. 9th.—(Special)—A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A. Wellatt, wife of a well known photographer here. It is best given in her own words. "I could not sleep, my feet were cold and my limbs cramped," Mrs. Wellat states. "I had an awful hard pain across my kidneys. I had to get up three or four times in the night. I was very nervous and fearfully despondent. "I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. "By the time I had finished one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. Now I can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp, I do not get up in the night and I feel better than I have in years. I owe my health to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Women's ills are caused by Diseased Kidneys; that's why Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure them.

MEDICAL EXAMINER States Treasury Recommends Pe-ru-na. Another Prominent Physician and Endorses pe-ru-na. DR. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medical Examiner of the U. S. Treasury Department, graduate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: "Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you." A constantly increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, as everyone will admit, is the cause of one-half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrh diseases afflict one-half of the people of United States. Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Washington, D. C., writes: "Through my own experience as well as that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of catarrh by the use of Hartman's Peruna, I can confidently recommend it to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation in prescribing it to my patients,"—Robert R. Roberts. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable but it requires remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve-centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh TEA How little it is! How little it adds to the weight of the cup!

A notable feature of the new bodice is the long, straight boned and pointed effect in the front. There is no longer the loose blossoming effect, as the bodice is very much boned at the waist line and boned girdles, with the shirring and fullness going in exactly the opposite direction from those lately so fashionable. Velvets, velweens and corduroys are quite as much in evidence, and are employed to construct afternoon frocks. In fact, at present there is a costume for every one of these fabrics in the wardrobe of all up-to-date women. Corduroy naturally is more durable than either velvet or velveteen, and it is much used for walking costumes. Both long and short coats are fashionable, but the short coats are considered a little newer, and they are very much more comfortable. A Pink Crepe Tea Gown. Another idea for a tea gown came to my mind, of pink crepe, long and A clinging, bordered with fur and embroidered or painted down each side in pink roses and blue bowknots. The little bolero is in velvet a shade deeper, and edged with fur and plaitings of lace and chiffon. Lace and chiffon form the sleeves—New York Press. New Ead for My Lady. Last season a great bunch of violets was all sufficient for milady to carry when she went for her afternoon airing. But now the violets must have swinging by them at least one American Beauty rose. And if a spray of lilies of the valley be mingled with it all she and all the world will know that she has the very latest fad in flowers in all its perfection. Triple combinations of flowers are the thing. Orchids and white lilac are combined with the violets and the roses. Deep cream colored pongee is employed in the fashioning of one exquisite belt. It is embroidered in a raised pattern with roses made of pink baby ribbon, gathered on one edge to represent the petals of a flower. No more medium sizes may be obtained in fans. They are either exquisitely small or grotesquely large. The small ones come in all sorts of fanciful empire designs. The large ones are fashioned principally of ostrich plumes, mounted upon long handles of gold, studded with gems. Season of Ribbons. Almost every season is heralded as a season of ribbons, and yet this one, more than most, deserves the title. Ribbons are used on every sort of gown, in every sort of way. All widths find uses, from the tiny baby width to the widest that the looms produce. A pretty employment of two-inch wide ribbon, though hardly a novel one, is a twisted bow knot design on the deep flounce of a lace gown. The ribbon may be pinned on according to fancy, and then the dress turned wrong side out, and the trimming tacked in place. Veils are credited with being hurtful to the complexion. The skin, it is said, needs the friction of the air, and constant covering prevents this, and also the healthy action of the pores. Then a veil heats the face, and being covered with a greasy moisture the dust and dirt stick and get into the pores. Then the veil itself quickly gets dirty and soils the skin. If the face be left uncovered circulation is stimulated, the skin is cooler and dust is generally blown off without doing any damage. Effective White Gown. For simple white gowns to be gotten up at small expense, some of the Japanese raw silks are beautiful. The fabrics are so attractive in themselves that they need little trimming. A little lace is about all that is necessary to make a charming frock. A pretty model in one of these soft silks had a shirred skirt, with three bands, simulating wide tucks. A line of lace insertion divided these. The waist was a surplice back and front, Elegant Parisian Garments. FIG.1. FIG.2. the folds falling loosely over the shoulders and bust. There was a lace underbody, which was so arranged that it could be decollete or not, as the wearer desired.

Ribbon embroidery is seen on some of the latest evening dresses, and may be easily worked on a foundation of either silk or lace. Lace is best for the tyro, both because the loose meshes of the lace make the embroidering easier, and because if the lace has a flower pattern, a beautiful effect may be obtained by simply following the outline of the pattern for the embroidery design. The secret of the beauty of the work lies in the tactful choice of colors, and not many shades should be used. Again, ribbons are used as lacings, as elaborate stock collars, as bindings, shirred ruffles, as meshes, and for the omnipresent and ever beautiful wide crush girdles.

START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT NOW MERGER FOUGHT MERGER FOUGHT STOCKMEN AGAINST PROPOSAL President Hagenbarth's Plan for Reorganization Encounters Bitter Opposition and Bad Feeling is Manifested. Denver, Colo., Jan. 13.—The News' report this morning says: In the strongest terms the cattlemen at the National Live Stock convention last night declared positively against any reorganization whatsoever. They say that they want no union with packers and railroads. President Hagenbarth, his allies and their reorganization project have been routed, horse, foot and dragoons. Even the consolation of a vote of thanks to President Hagenbarth was passed over, although by an oversight in the excitement. It was only after a hard, all-day struggle to attempt to find out the status of the conference committee on reorganization that the cattlemen took matters into their own hands, and said that they wanted their organization for themselves. Col. W. E. Hughes of the Continental Trust Company of Denver, himself a big ranch owner, was the man who engineered the resolution that killed the reorganization scheme so far as the cattlemen are concerned. There may be reorganization, but the cattlemen and sheepmen will not be in it. They will stick to the present lines, regardless of what others may do. Friends of President Hagenbark said last night that they believed that he would not run again for the presidency because of the overwhelming defeat of his plans, and the attacks made upon him personally. The conference committee, which was delayed yesterday from making a report on reorganization, is scheduled to make one this morning at 9 o'clock. This will advise admitting the packers and stock yards men and excluding the railroads, but its report is not considered of much value because of the decisive measures of the stockmen last night. It was a day of troubles for President Hagenbarth and the reorganizers, and they were worried. Mr. Hagenbarth was attacked at the morning session of the convention, but was not there to reply. In the afternoon he was ready to fight his accusers. When President Hagenbarth opened the afternoon session at the Tabor Grande theater there was fire in his eye. "I have a purpose here, and I am going to fulfill it," he began. "I have buried my feelings for several days and swallowed more lumps of grief in the past week than I ever did before." "My motives have been impunged; your organization has been insulted. The dastardly work has not been done so much in the open of the convention as on the streets and under cover. "I want to talk man to man. A man owes his first duty to himself and his family. If he has a position of trust, his next duty is to it. If a man is untrue to this he is a craven. You have given me such trust. "When I took this office of president I was told it was a gold brick. It is not. Nothing connected with the live stock industry is. What man could devote his energies to a cause more worthy? "I give you my word of honor I can substantiate this—any man who has imputed to me dishonest motives, however, remote, is a liar, an absolute, unqualified liar." Bell Will Not Resign Denver, Jan. 13.—The News this morning says: Adjutant General Bell will not resign from the Colorado National Guard, neither will he accept a discharge unless he is forced to do so. This was formally announced from the adjutant general's office yesterday afternoon, after General Bell had held a long conference with General Frank Reardon of Victor, United States Marshal Dewey C. Bailey, and Colonel Corliss, a retired officer who has been ordered to serve as military adviser to the national guard. The position taken by Bell is that he is an officer of the federal government, under the provisions of the Dick bill, and that he has charge of federal arms and ammunition, for the proper custody of which he is under a heavy bond. He declares that while the adjutant general is appointed by the state, he is really under authority of the United States War Department and can not be discharged before his term is up, except by court-martial. General Bell was asked to resign on Wednesday. Fremont Fruit Growers. Denver, Jan. 13.—A Canon City dispatch last night says: The eighth annual institute and midwinter fair of the Fremont Horticultural Society opened here this morning with a splendid display of fruit, particularly of apples, of which between fifty and seventy-five varieties are shown. The first day was characterized by a large attendance of people and interesting papers and discussions dealing with the orchard products took place. The prevailing cold weather has added to rather than detracted from the attendance, and fruit growers unable to work in the open air are going in large numbers to the institute, as would otherwise be the case, to gain new ideas relating to scientific horticulture. An indoor picnic dinner was had at noon to-day and the business men of the city were invited, many of whom availed themselves of the opportunity. A number of prominent speakers are present, among whom are Professors Gillette, Paddock and Ammons of the agricultural college at Fort Collins;; Mrs. M. A. Shute of Denver Is on the program, but was not able to be present. Fine Poultry Show. Denver, Jan. 13.—The poultry show at the Coliseum has been the best given in years in point of the number and quality of the entries and attendance, says the Republican this morning. Despite the cold of last night there was a good crowd there. This week's exhibit of fancy pigeons at the Coliseum must have proved a surprise to the many visitors who have taken it in. WHY WE GROW OLD. Sickness Is Result of Ignorance and Wrong Thinking. We grow old because we do not known enough to keep young, just as we become sick and diseased because we do not know enough to keep well, says Orison Swett Marden in Success. Sickness is a result of ignorance and wrong thinking. The time will come when a man will no more harbor thoughts that will make him weak or sick than he would think of putting his hands into fire. No man can be sick if he always has right thoughts and takes ordinary care of his body. If he will think only youthful thoughts he can maintain his youth far beyond the usual period. If you would "be young when old" adopt the sundial's motto: "I record none but hours of sunshine." Never mind the dark or shadowed hours. Forget the unpleasant, unhappy days. Remember only the days of rich experiences, let the others drop into oblivion. It is said that "long livers are great hopers." If you keep your hope bright in spite of discouragements, and meet all difficulties with a cheerful face, it will be very difficult for age to trace its furrows on your brow. There is longevity in cheerfulness. GOOD LOOKS AND CONCEIT Vanity Largely a Matter of Sense of Humor. The man's Apollo is generally a comely specimen of flesh and blood, with a blooming cheek and bright eye, who is a credit to his tailor. Women admire a more rugged type, or a type in which a tinge of asceticism is combined with intense nervous strength; or the picturesque may take their fancy. Roughly, the good-looking are vain or not, in proportion as they are dowered with the saving salt of humor. So with the women. The pretty dolls may be vain; the nobler and more interesting beauties are probably less so than their plainer sisters; for the simple reason that their physical charms are undoubted, and have been tacitly acknowledged ever since they can remember. They shine without effort, and their attention is preoccupied with other things.—London Chronicle. Eskimo Serenade. (With all due respect to Shehey.) I arise from dreams of thee In the first sweet winter freeze, When the whales begin to spout And my friends begin to sneeze; I arise from a day of the And I stand with frozen feet On the terminal morain At thy chamber window, sweet! Ah, say not that you love Another Eskimo. For if I cut no ice I'll gladly shovel snow. O, send me not away Frostbitten in the soul To hang my frozen heart Upon the boreal Pole! In languid music swoons The Arctic midnight dull— I'm playing "Violets" Upon a walrus skull, I ask no encores, love. For this moment a song— "Tis hard to play all night When the night is six months left." O, lift me from the snow— I die, I faint, I freeze. I've frost upon my chin, Icicles at my knees. One little boon I ask. Else thou doct me not; Lend me an overcoat. And a drink of something hot! —Wallace Irwin in New York Globe Sand Aids Digestion. Sand as a digestive for a human being, seems a curious idea, but it was recommended in a paper read before the Society for the Promotion of Health. To quote from the journal: "What we all need," says the gentle doctor, "is grit—the real grit that is furnished by the silica in the sand. To get that we must swallow a little clean sand every day with out meals. The presence of the grit will assist in the grinding process, and our food, instead of distressing us, will nourish and cheer us. Six five-grain capsules of pure sand should be taken with each meal." The Lobster's Advantage. The lobster, says Four Track New, has been endowed by nature with twigifts which go far to offset the evils attending his lot—one is the ability to fight early, often and all the time, if necessary, and the other is the ability to grow a new member, an eye, a leg or a claw whenever the original is lost in the fortunes of war or by reason of any domestic unpleasantness. It is these two gifts which enable him to grow up and become a useful member of society, most of his members being second-hand, so to speak, by the time he is really grown. Living Stones. The visitor to the Falkland isles sees scattered here and there singular-shaped blocks of what appear to be weather-beaten and moss-covered boulders in various sizes. Attempt to turn one of these boulders over and you will meet with a real surprise, because the stone is actually anchored by roots of great strength; in fact, you will find that you are trifling with one of the native trees. No other country in the world has such a peculiar "forest" growth. Puppy's Sacrifice for Duty. A six-months-old puppy was employed with others in getting 1,600 sheep into a corral before a blizzard. When the snow began to fall it was noticed that 200 sheep were not there and the puppy was also missing. The hewers hunted all that night and part of the next day, when the 200 sheep were found driven into a little gulley, with the puppy standing on guard. It had been thirty-six hours without food or water and died later from exposure followed by too much feeding from sympathetic persons.
