CHURCH At Silverton, Colo., Under the Leadership of Rev. J. W. Sanders, Makes Record Breaking Report at A. M. E. Church Conference. VOL. XI. In the history of the missionary work of the Colorado Conference of the A. M. E. church there has never been an instance to compare with the work done by the people at Silverton, Colo. in the year just closed. Two months before conference active work was commenced to secure a place of worship for the colored people. To the praise of the business men and church people be it said that they responded to the appeal so generally and liberally that more than $1000 was secured. A large nice church was bought outright and moved to the lots which had also been bought and paid for. A stone foundation was laid under the church wired and lighted with Electric lights. This church had been used by the Catholic people and had seats and everything in it ready for service. Just before conference Rev. Sanders, the pastor had a rally and opening which was well attended by the white people of the city. The Pastor of the congregational church Rev. J. Challen Smith acted as master of ceremonies, Mr. Arthur Ridgway, Sup't of Silverton and Northern R. R. presided at the organ, Mr. E. P. Grout sang the solo "Flee as a bird." The Honorable Mayor of the city and Mr. A. A. Lamont delivered addresses. The pastor took occasion to thank the good people of Silverton for their generosity. The Chairman conducted the meeting to the satisfaction of all. Not only did our small membership do this but when appeal was made for dollar money to take to conference three persons gave $5.00 each viz. Wm. Brown, Mrs. Belle Washington and Mrs. Mary Beatty others gave till $32.00 were realize for dollar money. The Trustees who stood by the pastor in carrying forward this work were A. J. Bryant and Sherman C. Kift. Mrs. Bryant and Mrs. Sanders were successful in helping to raise money by subscription. Conference unanimously passed the following resolution. Whereas the people of Silverton have displayed a generosity unparalleled in giving money to secure our church a place of worship in their city and whereas the people gave more than $1000 to buy church, and lot, and Whereas the citizens are interested in the welfare of our people in the above named town. Now therefore Resolved, that we the members of this annual conference do hereby express our thanks and, gratitude to those people of Silverton who in any way contributed to the State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK RACE ORAD THE JOURNAL E. CHURCH the Leadership of Rev. J. W. and Breaking Report at ch Conference. success of the movement which secured the church for us. Resolved further that it is the sense of this conference, that their generosity is worthy of all praise and this conference will ever pray that Gods blessing a hundred fold may rest upon them. Following is the address delivered by the Mayor of Silverton at a church rally held at that place on September 3rd: I am sincerely glad to see you people making this stride forward in the acquisition of your own church home and property, and I believe every business man in Silverton feels that it is a good thing, and recognizes the fact churches mean progress and stability, and a better class of citizens. I was almost tempted to say that a town could not have too many churches, but there is such a thing of getting too much even of a good thing, but I will say that Silverton has not an over-stock of churches, though she may be somewhat reluctant about supporting them. Among the first questions a stranger will ask about a town, is, "How many churches have you?" He may ask this in order to find out about how much he may be called upon to contribute from month to month, should he decide to locate there: but upon first thought one is lead to believe he is asking about the moral possibilities of the place. I frequently have enquiries about Silverton, and among other questions there is generally one concerning the church and school priveleges. I doubt if there is any one in this place, though he never goes inside the church, would deny the fact that church has an uplifting, and enodling influence found in no other organization. We all, or rather more or less of us belong to from one to fifteen lodges: and there are not a few who try to make the lodge their church, but at some time or rather they are bound to call upon the church for some favor. (Incident) The church was founded upon the right kind of principles, and by Christ who could make no mistakes, even though some of the chcuhes and we are not living up to those principles. We may each differ somewhat as to our doctrine and manner of worship, and interpretation regarding religion, consequently the different denominations, but we are all traveling toward the same destination, and when we come to life's journey end, our paths all --- meet, and we go along the same road to the final goal. That place from which no traveler has yet returned, we know not where, but we hope and believe, that it is an eternal growth where we go on developing and gowing in knowledge and beauty, and holiness. Address of A. A. Lamont, Superintendent of the Boston and Silverton M. & R. Co: MR. MODERATOR: We meet here this afternoon to offer congratulations to Brother Saunders and his good people on procuring for themselves, through strenuous efforts, this comfortable and comodious home or house of worship, where all can meet for mutual help and encouragement as they journey on to the better house or place which Christ our Great Master has prepared for all who love Him. In my brief remarks let me admonish you to follow closely some of the directions given by the author of all good, and may love for Him and love for each other be as links binding you strongly together in this work for Him the greatest of all work which you have mutually taken up; namely, the building up or promotion of His Kingdom in the earth. Let your meetings in this place be a welding process, for without unity in all your undertakings, your efforts will be fruitless. The church is the place above all others where love should be without dissimulation, therefore, let no bickering or jealousies arise or have place among you, for these are the seeds which, if allowed, will create and foster heart ache and diversion among you, and which are deadly to all endeavor in church work and spirituality. The church should stand as a place for mutual aid and council, therefore you should have all things in common; for you are admonished by your guide that if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily bread and one of you should say unto them depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled, notwithstanding you gave them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit? The answer is obvious. He who witnesseth suffering or want and shutteth up his bowels of compassion on it is ignorant of the beautiful lesson taught by Christ, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Therefore let all selfishness be driven from among you, and this thought dominate all your actions, namely, "give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall men give into your bosom." For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. The church should be to you a home where joy abides. Therefore bring to all your meetings, smiling faces. These meetings should not be common place or ordinary when you consider His promise. "For when two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. The joy of the Lord is thy strength, therefore let your souls be joyful in the Lord. These are all great promises and can be fully realized by you all when you meet in this house in His name and as bidden by Him. Lastly let me say your church should stand firmly for everything that is good and uplifting in our community and especially the gathering into its field those who are without God and all the blessed influences and the hope which Christianity and the church stand for and hold out. May this desire for this ingathering of souls be as a fire burning in the hearts of every member of your church urging you on to earnest work and fervent prayer, and may you see of the travail of your souls and be satisfied. I wish you every success. Conference Appointments. Following are the appointments made at the close of the A. M. E. church conference which was held in Chevenne last week: Denver District:—Rev, J. H.

Anderson was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue many envious Southerners asserted that he owed the position mostly to his being an Afro-American. That he was appointed strickly on his merits is strikingly established by the last report of the Internal Revenue Examiner, which shows that Mr. Anderson has in sixty days raised the rating of his office for the first time in many years from No. 3 to No. 1. Rebellion in Hod Carriers' Union By the Whites on Account of the Domination Power that the Negro Members Possess. Rev. W. W. Landrum Makes Brave Stand for the Negro--- Whole World Against South on Negro Question. Rebellion on the part of members of the Denver Hod Carriers' union against domination by the Negroes, who constitute the greater part of the organization, may result in the disruption of the local union. The white men have been practically assured by the International Building Trades council, which concluded its convention in Denver yesterday, that the Negroes will be dropped from membership and the union reorganized. The reason given for changing the standing of the Denver union, which is made up of both white and colored men, is that the body is not affiliated with the Building Laborers' union. The real object, it is said, is to get rid of the international council. At the convention of the council yesterday, resolutions were proposed separating the white members of the Hod Carriers' union from the Negroes, admitting them to full membership and excluding the blacks. The resolutions were passed up to the executive committee, which met yesterday afternoon. The committee decided to wait six months before segregating the races, but it was generally understood that at the expiration of that time it would be accomplished. The Irish members of the Denver Hodecarriers' union are eager to join the laborers' alliance, but the Negroes, being in the majority have blocked affiliation, it is said. Therefore the white members have decided to withdraw from a union which includes the black men, and will ask for a charter of their own from the international council. Tilford McAlister, president of the local hodocarriers' union, who was a delegate to the convention, endeavored to turn the tide in favor of the black men in the convention, but his efforts were hooted by the delegates, who met his remarks with cries of "Sit down." The convention tacitly decided that after the present convention, Negroes should be barred as delegates.—The Post. Atlanta, Ga., September 7.—At the meeting of the Baptist ministers here this week Rev. W. W Landrum of the First church, who is widely known for his brave stand on the Negro question, took up the matter of the treatment of Afro-American delegates to the Baptist World Congress at London in July. He referred to the criticism of the part the Negro played in the convention. He admitted that they were given equal rights in every way with the white delegates—equal rights spiritually in the convention and equal rights socially outside of the convention in the homes of the people of London. "I saw occasionally," said he, "A Negro accompany one of the white ladies to the convention or on the streets of London, but we must remember that we have the whole world against us on the Negro question. There is no such feeling against him anywhere as we have—we might as well face and admit the fact. But I think this matter is a big bugaboo about nothing. I believe that the Negro must have equal spiritual rights with any one—and the Baptist church has always contended for this—they received this at the convention—nothing less and nothing more. "The only difference in the treatment at the convention hall was probably in the applause received—the applause was quite more frequent and hearty when one of the colored delegates had the floor. "But this matter of social equality is not one for church or civil legislation, but one for individual taste. I have no more right to go to London and tell them who they should receive in their homes than they have to come to us here and say who we should receive." RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The New York Evening Post says: Four Negroes are in the service of the imperial family in Russia, being almost inseparable from the Czar and his children to whom they are deeply attached. They are attired in the costliest garments, with gold ornaments. Philadelphia, September 12.—H. C. C. Astwood, editor of the Defender, published in Scanton and Philadelphia was sued by Dr. N. F. Mossell, physician-in-charge of the Douglas Hospital, for libel. In default of $1,000 bail Mr. Astwood was locked up over night, being released after securing same.

What Children Are Rocked In—Just as Happy. When a baby is born in Guinea all sorts of funny things happen to it. Its mother buries it in the sand up to its waist, so it cannot get into bad mischief, and this is the only cradle it knows anything about. The little Lapp infant is cradled in a shoe—his mother's. This is a big affair covered with skin and stuffed with soft moss. This can be hung on a tree or covered up with snow while mamma goes to church or any place where babies are not invited. The baby of India rides in a basket which hangs from its mother's head or from her hip, or in a hammock. In some parts the baby's nose is adorned with a nose ring, and in others its face is wrapped in a veil like its mother. The Chinese baby is tied to the back of an older child. The Mongolian infants travel about in bags slung on a camel's back. In some countries the mothers lay their babies where a stream of water falls on their heads. This is to make them tough, which it does unless the babies die as a result of this treatment. Another mother covers her baby's head with paste, while the Tartar baby is covered with butter. The Turkish baby is salted—perhaps to keep it sweet—while the worst fate of all falls to the lot of the newly born children in Bulgaria. Their mothers put a hot omelette on the little ones' heads to make them solid and protect them from sunstroke. The Bulgarian baby doesn't like it any better than you would. He makes a great howl about it, but it is not a bit of use. His mother thinks she knows better about some things than he does, so he has to submit, which he does with a very bad grace indeed. King of the Penguins. The "emperor" penguin, one of the discoveries of Capt. Scott's recent antarctic expedition, was the subject of an interesting illustrated lecture by Dr. Wilson before the recent ornithological congress in London. The bird stands about four feet high, weighs eighty pounds or more, and with its black coat and erect posture has, when seen at a distance, a truly startling resemblance to a dwarf man. These "emperors" of the penguin world live upon the great girdle of pack ice which surrounds the antarctic continent, and seem to depend daily for their food on crustaceans caught in the crevices of the ice. The female lays a solitary egg, which is caught on the great web feet, so that it never touches the ice, and is held there covered with the mother's body until hatching occurs. For a Girl to Know. Some one has suggested a few things that every girl can learn before she is 12. Not every one can learn to play or sing or paint well enough to give pleasure to her friends, but the following "accomplishments" are within everybody's reach: Shut the door and shut it softly. Keep your own room in tasteful order. Have an hour for rising, and rise. Never let a button stay off twenty-four hours. Always know where your things are. Never let a day pass without doing something to make somebody comfortable. Learn to make bread as well as cake. Never go about with your shoes unbuttoned. True Living. Men's lives should be like the day—more beautiful in the evening; or like the summer—aglow with promise; and like the autumn—rich with golden sheaves, where good deeds have ripened in the field.—Charles Wagner. NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS MAKE FUSION WITH POPULISTS W. J. Bryan Warmly Commends President Roosevelt—Says Farewell Before Starting for Europe. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21.—Fusion between the Democrats and Populists of Nebraska was effected yesterday by the nomination by both state conventions of an identical ticket, as follows: Justice of the Supreme Court—William G. Hastings of Wilber. Regents of the University—D. C. Cole of Osceola, Louis Lightner of Columbus. There was no formal declaration for fusion by either convention, but an understanding existed among the leaders in both. Of the nominees Messrs. Hastings and Lightner are Democrats and Mr. Cole a Populist. The feature of the Democratic gathering was the speech of William J. Bryan, in which he bade his party associates in the state farewell for a year at least on the eve of his departure for an extended tour of the Old World. Mr. Bryan commended President Roosevelt for what he declared to be his advanced stand on the principles long advocated by the Democrats. On these principles he hoped every Democrat would uphold the President. Mr. Bryan added: We are more united since 1896 in favor of a radically progressive Democracy and against a Democratic plutocracy. Last year many thought it wiser to try conciliation. Concessions were made to the plutocratic wing, but we lost. "No Republican leader has gained in popularity in recent years, save where he has been advocating the principles first promulgated by the Democratic party. President Roosevelt has not in a single thing earned popular favor, save where he followed a Democratic precedent and placed himself upon Democratic doctrine. "I am glad the President has taken the stand he has, and the Democrats ought to stand back of him. I believe more in the establishment of principles than I care for party success. "I want to encourage the Republicans who are trying to make their party better. I do not want the Republican party to be a bad party just because it would benefit the Democratic party. The fight that is now going on in that party will create a clash to whom we can appeal with hope, if they fall in getting what they demand in their own ranks. "If the Democratic party had spent half the time and trouble in trying to convince Republicans that it did to conciliate those who left it in 1896, we would be stronger than we are. I do not say we ought not to welcome back those who went away, but the policy of conciliation has driven away thousands of Republicans who wanted proof of our sincerity before joining hands with us." A resolution which caused a stir in the convention and which was promptly adopted, denounced the Rockefeller gift to the University of Nebraska, criticised the regents for accepting it, and demanding the return of the gift to the donor. DENVER PACKING HOUSES SOLD Said to Have Pased into the Control of the Beef Trust. Denver, Sept. 21.—The Republican this morning says: The deal whereby the two big Denver packing plants become part of the great beef trust has been closed; it is an accomplished fact. The Colorado Packing and Provision Company receives for sixty-five per cent. of its stock $225 per share of the par value of $100. The Western Packing Company receives for the same percentage of its stock $66 per share. Monthly payments of $50,000 are to be made by the trust to the local holders. Those now in control of these plants will retain thirty-five per cent. interest and they will have nominal management. Negotiations for the purchase of the stock of the Denver Stock Yards Bank are now under way by the trust agents. A hitch has taken place in the negotiations for the Denver Union stock yards. But it is the intention of the Chicago "Big Four" to secure absolute control of stock yards, transit facilities in Denver and the packing plants and the very bank where the stockmen do business at the stock yards here. The Denver Union Stock Yards Company is controlled by Charles Francis Adams and his Boston friends. The company has heavy outstanding indebtedness. The trust does not want to assume all the responsibilities for stock and bonds out. It demands a big reduction in the price asked. No doubt the dealers for the trust will get the yards at their own figure once they have shown Mr. Adams and his associates that the trust is in absolute control. It is a way the "Big Four" have of doing things. This scheme worked in St. Joseph, Omaha and Kansas City. Yesterday for the first time in the company's history the Swift refrigerator cars were switched to the Western Packing Company's plant, engaged in removing provisions in storage there to be disposed of East. In a week or two the Swift cars and the Armour cars will be daily surrounding the plant and the plant of the Colorado Packing Company. Test of Cruiser Colorado. Rockland, Me., Sept. 21.—The armored cruiser Colorado was given a screw standardizing test over the Monroe Island course and in one of the runs attained a speed of 22.2 knots an hour. The big cruiser in a previous trial last winter over the Cape Ann course made a sustained speed of 22.17 knots in four hours. Will Raise the Mikasa. Toklo, Sept. 21.—A powerful pump has arrived at Sasebo, from Port Arthur, to be used in floating the battleship Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flagship, which was recently sunk with great loss of life. It is expected to refloat the Mikasa within three months. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS President Loubet of France will visit Spain October 23d and will be entertained by King Alfonso.

According to preliminary figures of Iowa's state census the state had a total population January 1, 1905, of 2,201,372, a loss of 30,481 since the census of 1900, when the state was accredited with a population of 2,231,853. Practically all of the larger cities and counties showed gains. The loss was almost entirely in rural sections. Policeman George Jiminez of New York City has been appointed chief of police of Panama.

PHONE MAIN 3044 Denver, Colorado; TURNED DOWN PARKER WANTED MONEY FOR CAMPAIGN President McCall of the New York Life Insurance Company Says Judge New York, Sept. 21.—Political contributions of the New York Life Insurance Company and the connection of Andrew Hamilton of Albany with the alleged political activity of the company were the points around which the hearing before, the legislative investigation turned to-day. President John A. McCall of the New York Life Insurance Company was the chief witness and for several hours he was subjected to a fire of questions by Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee, concerning the money paid for political purposes. The climax was reached when Mr. McCall declared that the soliciting of funds for campaign purposes was not confined to the Republican party in the campaign of 1904 and announced: "My life was made weary by the Democratic candidates chasing me for money in that campaign. Some of the very men who to-day are being interviewed in the papers and denouncing men who contribute to campaigns were crossing my path every step I took, looking for money. One man, the candidate himself, Parker, if he would show up his books when he was chairman of the Democratic state committee, it would give you a fit. He never rejected a dollar in the world. He would take every dollar that was paid to him." Judge Parker was chairman of the Democratic state executive committee in 1885. Mr. McCall's statement was greeted with wild cheering which continued until a threat was made to clear the room of listeners if the crowd did not restrain itself. With great care the account of Andrew A. Hamilton with the company was analyzed by Mr. Hughes, who asked Mr. McCall about every item and made it clear that a search was being made for political contributions. Mr. McCall stoutly maintained that he had given Mr. Hamilton no money to be used in influencing legislation in Albany, but the admission was obtained from McCall that Hamilton's expenses at Albany were paid from the company's funds and that his accounts were not submitted to audit. It was shown that $235,000 had been paid to Hamilton, with only a verbal accounting to President McCall, and that at present Hamilton owed the company about $60,000, but Mr. McCall said he felt sure that Hamilton, who is now in Europe, will repay the sum upon the company's demand. As to the contribution to the Republican campaign fund in 1904, Mr. McCall said he did not care how many of the policyholders agreed with his action. He made the contribution honestly, believing it was justified and for the interest of the policyholders. Presented to Board of Panama Canal Engineers. Washington, Sept. 21.—The board of consulting engineers of the Isthmian Canal Commission on Tuesday devoted its time to hearing an explanation of the plans for a canal which Mr. Bunau-Varilla and Lindon W. Bates, respectively, have formulated. Mr. Bunau-Varilla was engaged on the canal work as an engineer under the French regime and has given much time to the study of the problem. Mr. Bates is a civil engineer of New York. Mr. Bunau-Varilla told the board that under his proposed method a canal could be built and put into operation within five years. It could be deepened to a sea level canal within five years more. The novel feature of this plan is to construct the locks from a foundation below sea level. The highest lock on the canal as finished first would be 130 feet above sea level. With the locks built down to the sea level depth, the work of dredging the canal could be continued without interrupting its operation for commerce. The same locks could be utilized at every depth until a sea level was reached, when the locks could be taken out. This is regarded rather as a method of treatment than a canal plan, as Mr. Bunau-Varilla submitted no proposition as to the location of dams, or other suggestion regarding the engineering features of the canal. The plan of Mr. Bates combines many suggestions which have been made from the inception of the idea of a canal across the isthmus. It is essentially different from that being studied by the board in the location and arrangement of the dams. Mr. Bates proposes to locate the principal dams on either side of the isthmus close to the sea, thus conserving the waters from the streams into two mammoth lakes. He pointed out that this would eradicate the swamps and tend to revolutionize the health and sanitary cedations on the isthmus. His plan does not obviate the digging of Culebra cut. The board was presented with the information as to every detail of Mr. Bates' plan in a pamphlet of nearly 200 pages of closely printed matter, accompanied with maps and diagrams. Bryan Starts for Europe. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21.—Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bryan, accompanied by their son and daughter, William and Grace, leave to-day for their tour of the world. They will sail from San Francisco for Japan September 28th, stopping in Honolulu for a day or two and expecting to reach Tokyo about October 15th. From Japan the Bryans will go to Manila and will spend some time in the Philippines. They will then visit Australia and New Zealand and will reach India in the winter. They will proceed to the Holy Land and other countries in order to spend next summer in the large cities of Europe. Mr. Bryan expects to be gone not less than a year. Blossoms have appeared on many apple trees at Pueblo during the past two weeks. The El Paso County Pioneer Society had a big picnic at Stratton park in Colorado Springs on the 16th instant. A free basket picnic was given to the visiting Grand Army veterans at Colorado Springs on the 12th inst. The Woman's Club of Colorado Springs has voted to donate $20 to the Jacob Rils settlement at 48 Henry street, New York City. Longmont is preparing for a big parade on Pumpkin Pie Day, September 28th, in which a great number of floats will appear. The name of The Polly Pry Magazine at Denver has been changed to The Saturday Sun since its purchase by William G. Griffith. The agents of the State Humane Society will prosecute persons who ship chickens in boxes too low to give them room to stand upright. The county commissioners of Fre- mont county have ordered a large steam roller, crusher and other machinery for road work at a cost of $7,000. The hotel men of Colorado Springs have agreed to subscribe $500 a year in furtherance of the work of the Con- vention League recently organized in Denver. Joseph Heller, Jr., the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Heller of South Sahwatch street, Colorado Springs, was run over and killed by a hack on the night of the 16th instan- t. The Denver Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee to endeavor to prevail upon the government to en- large the importance of Fort Logan as a military post and keep more troops there. The postoffice department has sent out instructions that all mail boxes in the rural districts must be numbered and made weather proof. Boxes which are not so constructed must be replaced. Fire destroyed the Gold Coin block at Cameron in the Cripple Creek district, on the 17th inst., the loss being estimated at $5,000 on which there was some insurance. It was the best building in the town. Free pumpkin pie and cheap railway rates are the attractions offered by Longmont September 28th. In addition there will be races and a parade. There will also be a chance to inspect the great sugar factory. The State Board of Horticulture will endeavor to have the state fair held at least two weeks later in the fall hereafter. It is claimed that early in September fruit has not attained its full development and coloring. The Short Line management will enlarge and improve its Colorado Springs shops, owing to its determination to handle locally all repairs on its seven Midland Terminal and twelve Short Line engines, in addition to several coaches. The next annual meeting of the immigration agents of the Gould system of railways will be held in Colorado next May. There are some 600 agents and their coming will be no small event in connection with advertising the state. Governor McDonald has appointed a committee to make the semi-annual examination of the books of the state treasurer and State Land Board. Mrs. Del Mathies, G. A. Askline and J. C. Wells, the latter of Golden, are the committee. Two carloads of machinery for the Dunbar rubber plant have arrived at Durango and will be installed at once in the old sampling works. There are thirty machines to start with and it is expected the number will be increased before long. The State Bureau of Child an Animal Protection is taking steps to stop the sale of liquor to children at Louisville. The humane agents claim that some parents are in the habit of sending small children—mere infants—into saloons for beer. A survey in Grand county, made for the State Land Board shows that Colorado does not own the tract of land on which gilsonite beds were discovered last year. It is found to be located a mile west and a quarter mile south from any school land. Governor McDonald has appointed Dr. Josephine Peavy of Colorado Springs to be a member of the board of control of the State Industrial School for Girls. Mrs. Peavy takes the place of Mrs. Ina Thompson, who resigned about a month ago. Miss Josephine Hawes of Denver, started to climb Pike's Peak on the evening of the 17th inst., and lost her way. She was found next morning by the cog road trainmen in an exhausted condition and nearly frozen to death, having nearly reached the summit. Invitations have been issued by the board of trustees and faculty of the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, announcing Monday, October 2d, as the date on which the cornerstone of the Simon Guggenheim hall will be laid. The exercises will be held in the afternoon. The regents of the University of Colorado have appointed Prof. Herbert S. Evans of the University of Nebraska to the position of professor of electrical engineering. Professor Evans is a graduate of the University of Nebraska in the class of 1898 and received a second degree from the same institution in 1900. Forty acres of land near Brewster, in Fremont county, will be planted to fruit this fall, and irrigated by water from a well. The water will come from a never-falling source, the seepage from an artesian well drilled some years ago by an oil company. Mr. Smith has snaked deeply on his farm and a big pump falls to exhaust the inflow. Three new members and one transfer are announced in the faculty of the Agricultural College at Fort Collins, Royall Hawlett and Miss Florence Stuver will be assistant professors in mathematics and Professor S. A. McDonaud will be acting head of the mathematical department. Professor E. B.

One of the most serious objections made by the wise ones of our race to the annexation of Cuba and the Philippines to the United States, if only temporary, was the importation to these islands of that contemptible cast, "American Prejudice" or narrow minded and arrogant dealing toward the natives because their skin is dark. "What we have feared has now come upon us." The appointment of many Southerners to official positions in the insular service is having its effect. Here as at home they are having the opportunity to consummate their hellish purpose to crush a race wholly at their mercy, and the government seems to be abetting them in their object, by appointing a majority of these officials from the Southern states. Whether or not the President's attention has been called to this fatal error or whether the home government fails to see the virus in the selection of appointees opposed to the full rights of the natives or not the responsibility of the nation is at stake. The appointment of the race hating and prejudice making class of office holders who are opposed to the colored classes and masses on the ground that one race problem was enough for them, under an avowed Republican administration is simply putting into their mouths the words of Macbeth, "Thou cans't not say I did it," because the Republican party knows their sentiment and attitude toward the darker skinned races. These appointees are now in a position to exercise control over the destinies of these people whom this government has taken into their charge to educate and prepare for citizenship. We sincerely fear that the medicine is worse than the disease. ANOTHER SCORE FOR THE NEGRO. It may well be asked do wonders cease? And the answer may be given, not in this progressive world. Another wonder is added to the literary world and to Negro literature in particular, in the publication of Floyd's Flowers or Duty and Beauty for Colored Children. Many story books have been written, but whoever thought of writing one for Negro children. Prof. Silas X. Floyd, principal of the colored school of Augusta, Ga., has in this work proven himself to be the Eugene Field of the colored race. He is a close friend of the little folks. He has walked through the gardens of imagination and experience and with discriminating eye and a tender affection plucked the sweetest and prettiest flowers of poetry and prose for the colored children of America. Again his stories are not childish but have been written with a noble purpose. They are simple, amusing and elevating. The book contains over three hundred pages, one hundred stories and about eighty illustrations. The illustrations, like the stories are from the pen of a young colored artist, Mr. John Henry Adams, who acquired his art education at the Drexel Institute, Philadelphia. He has faithfully illustrated the stories with unique drawings that gives the book an added interest. The book is neatly bound in cloth and from the press of the well known and reliable firm of Hertel, Jenkins and Co., Atlanta, Ga., who are desirous of securing agents in this city. We see no reason why a book of this description should not have a large sale now that the holiday season is near at hand and parents are casting about for the best literature for their children. This book will discover to old and young that all merit and genius is not under white skin. Both Mr. Floyd and Mr. Adams and the publishers are to be congratulated for this new departure for we believe that the work will put new hope in the blood of the rising generations. MUST GET OUT. The Rev. Dr. Hurd speaking at the alliance last Sunday announced himself a pessimist on the race problem. A man of education, experience and a traveler in many different countries his words have a depth of meaning. While many of us do not like to share in a doleful theme, yet we do not see how an intelligent, well informed and right thinking man or woman can see anything optimistic for the Negro in any of the various occupations North, East or West where his presence is felt in any considerable numbers, Colorado being no exception. In another part of this paper will be found an article which makes interesting reading for the Negro and Unionism. The hod carriers' union is the only labor organization containing a majority of colored members who are able to elect officers and send delegates of color to national assemblies, and because they are able to have a voice in the law-making body they are now asked to get out. Tilford McAllister of this city, a well-known labor leader and president of the local brick lifters union was a delegate to the International Labor and Building Trades Council which convened in this city last week. He was the only Negro present in that body, when he arose to speak against the separation of colored and white hod carriers he was hooted with cries, "Sit down." The convention then tacitly decided that in the future that colored delegates should be debarred from all participation in the national councils of the body. This then settles the Negro's relation to unionism for all time to come. Even if Negroes decide to have a union of their own, still they will not be permitted to send delegates or to have representation in the national body. It is the death knell of Negro unionism, and the only salvation now lays in meeting the issue by competition. How this competition is to be enforced is still another question, as all the contractors and employers are white and the refusal of white labor organization to work with colored means that work is to be suspended or the Negro to be entirely eliminated. The Negro already sees this and has begun a counter movement as the following will show. "A delegate convention of colored mechanics, representing Missouri, Illinois and several of the southern states, convened at St. Louis, Missouri, August 25th to organize a colored mechanical association, with local branches in all cities. This body is not identified or affiliated with any other labor organization. Its object is cooperation for mutual benefits and opportunity for employment. H. W. Fearson of St. Louis was chosen temporary chairman and W. D. Hennington, Jr., of Springfield, secretary. There were thirty delegates present, representing six states." A rival organization such as is planned above is certain to reproduce the "Industrial Conflict" spoken of by such writers as we have been accustomed to hear about, and it may be that we are closer to the inevitable than many of us dream. Rev. G. W. Tolson who has had charge of Wards Mission for the past year has been assigned to the church at Boulder. The Rev. has pastored Wards Mission once before and each time proved to be the most successful minister that has ever had the charge. He is a Christian gentleman in every sense of the word and makes friends with all whom he comes in contact. We congratulate the church and citizens of Boulder on securing this worthy gentleman, and knowing of his sterling qualities, we predict for the church a brilliant success. (Continued from isc page) murdered Emily Bowers, his wife, a white woman, at 1236 Pearl St., where she was nursing, for spending $800 of his savings. He shot her three times, in the heart, eye and back. She died in twenty minutes. He was immediately arrested. Columbus, Ga., September 7.—Hon. Joseph Hill Hall of Bibb was one of the chief speakers at the Labor Day exercises here. A large audience was present and frequently applauded him. Mr. Hall said he was a white man, and was taking to white men, but he did think that the Georgia legislature showed the right disposition towards the Negro race. He criticised this tendency, he said, because if one "weak and defense-less class of citizens, the next step would be to legislate against poor white working people. He criticised the legislature for disbanding the Negro militia and in this connection he said: "I have heard a great man, so called, who is a candidate for governor, appeal to the prejudices of the whites against the Negro and congratulate the legislature upon disbanding the Negro military companies. I would never vote for a man for governor who would congratulate a legislature upon a thing like that." An Able Sermon. Rev. J. H. Smith, formerly of the Texas conference and who preached a very able sermon at Campbell A. M. E. church about two weeks ago, is recognized as one of the most influential clergymen in the Colorado Conference. In speaking of him the Wyoming Tribune of the 16th inst. says: Elder J. H. Smith of Durango, Colo, is attending the A.M.E. Annual Conference in Cheyenne. Rev. Smith preached a very able sermon Wednesday night from the text "The Eyes of the Lord are over the Righteous," Elder Smith possesses such a commanding presence that he is frequently mistaken for a bishop.

Some New Stories Told on Notables and Their Friends Samuel Gompers, in an address in Philadelphia, said to a labor organization wittily: "There are at least no high financiers among you and none of your names appear in 'Fads and Fancies.'" Mr. Gompers had been talking about human nature's proneness to err and a little later, in elaboration of this point, he said: "We are all a good deal alike. While Smith feels ashamed of himself for wanting to trick Jones, Jones at the same time feels ashamed of himself for wanting to trick Smith. "Two friends of mine—let us call the Jones and Smith for convenience—were camping last month in the Canada woods. "The days were superb. Cool, sweet alra rocked the trees and in a sky of the clearest blue shone a splendid sun. But the nights were cold; it was necessary for Jones and Smith, who had only one blanket apiece, te keep a fire roaring at their feet all the while they slept. The moment the fire dwindled the cold selzed them. "Well, in the dead watches Jones awoke one night and shivered. His teeth chattered; he was miserable. The fire had shrunken to a handful of gray ashes, wherein glimmered only two or three yellow coals. "Comfort demanded that the fire be replenished, but Jones hated to crawl out from under his blanket's shelter. If Smith, now, were awake he, too, would feel the cold, and then would he not, perhaps, leap up and throw on fuel?" "Jones, though a good deal ashamed of himself, nevertheless kicked Smith. "A snore. "Another kick. "Another snore. "A most tremendous kick and Smith, opening a pair of very wakeful eyes, chuckled. "I kicked you five minutes ago," he said. "That is how you happen to be awake." * The late Daniel S. Lamont was born in Cortlandville, N. Y., and a Cortlandville man said of him: "Mr. Lamont had always a pleasant and tactful way. I once applied to him for a job for my son. He couldn't do anything for the boy, but he put me off delicately and he told me to break the disappointment delicately to the lad. "This talk of delicacy and gentle, kindly putting off reminded Mr. Lamont of a Cortlandville happening. "He said there was once a poor young chap in our town who fell head over heels in love with a farm girl. The young chap's love-making was very seriously conducted. Sometimes it seemed successful and he was gay. Then it would seem rather hopeless and he would get a fit of the blues. "In a fit of the blues one night he confided in a friend. "I'm afraid there's no chance for me,' he said. 'In a delicate way that girl is discouraging my attentions to her.' "How is she doing it?' the friend asked. "Oh, mighty delicately. She told me yesterday that she was a twin, her mother was a twin and her grandmother was a twin.'" Jacob Riis, the sociologist, in an address to a workingmen's club praised generosity. "I see a handful of children here," he said. "May they grow up generous. May none of them grow up into such a man as an old banker whom I know. Snake Bites. The poison in reptiles is similar in character, and produces practically the same symptoms when injected into man. The symptoms produced are pain and swelling and discoloration of the part, weak heart, fainting, labored respiration, nausea, vomiting. To be effectual the treatment must be immediate. If the bite is on the arm or leg, no time should be lost in tying a bandage of some sort tightly around the limb above the wound. A rope, shoestring, handkerchief, belt, or anything at hand should be used. It should be tied so tightly that circulation in the limb is completely stopped. This prevents the absorption of the poison into the general circulation. After this thoroughly cauterize the wound with a hot iron, or excise the wounded part freely. If there are no cracks or wounds in the lips, the wound may be sucked with impunity, for the poison is harmless in the stomach. The bandage around the arm or leg may be loosened a few minutes at a time, thus allowing the virus slow access to the general circulation. The custom of using large quantities of whisky in cases of snake bite is not warranted by facts. Hot bottles to the spine and stomach, hot water drinking, massage to the legs and arms, and cool applications to the head are all useful. Physical Morality. Perhaps nothing will so much hasten the time when body and mind will both be adequately cared for as the diffusion of the belief that the preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality. Men's habitual words and acts might imply that they are at liberty to treat their bodies as they please. The fact is, all breaches of the laws of health are physical sins. When this is generally seen, then, and not till then, will the physical training of the young receive all the attention it deserves.—Dr. Youmans. "He is a millionaire banker and he lives in a palace, but his heart is as hard as steel and as cold as ice. "One of his men completed the other day his twenty-fifth year of service. For twenty-five years this honest man had worked for the banker faithfully. He and his chief were both poor at the beginning, but where in the quarter century the banker had accumulated millions the faithful, middle-aged bookkeeper has only accumulated a few hundreds. His salary, you see, was only $25 a week. "He didn't think the banker would remember the twenty-fifth anniversary of his engagement, but the old man did. That morning he handed the bookkeeper a sealed envelope. "George,' he said, 'to-day ends the twenty-fifth year of your work for me, and you have worked steadily and well. In this envelope is a memento of the occasion.' "The bookkeeper opened the envelope, trembling and eager. Within lay his employer's photograph. That was all. "In the face of a disappointment so bitter the poor fellow could say nothing. "Well,' asked the banker, 'what do you think of it?" "It's just like you,' said the bookkeeper simply." Mayor Kirkendall of Wilkesbarre told at a reception a story about a young Wilkesbarre clergyman. "He was married a year ago," the mayor said, "and his wife, a good girl, interested him in a charity for miners' orphans. He advocated this charity often from the pulpit, and when a subscription reached him he would acknowledge it the next Sunday in church. "It happened that last June there came to this minister on the same day a subscription for $25 and a young son. "A good deal of laughter was excited the following Sunday when, rising in the pulpit, the minister said that he felt very grateful for the small succor that had arrived during the week past." Samuel Gordeano, the Spanish evangelist, praised in New York American humor. Some one instanced, as a superb piece of American humor, Arten.us Ward's dictum on the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy: "I believe these plays were not written by Shakespeare, but by another man of the same name." Thereupon Mr. Gordeano said: "That is good, but I like better a piece of humor about a tramp. "This tramp, dilapidated, a ruin, entered a newspaper office jauntily. "Say, cully, is dis de Free Press? he asked the editor. "Yes, my man,' the dignified editor replied. 'What can we do for you?' "I'll just set down a minute and unpeel,' said the tramp. 'I want creases pressed in dose here pants.'" P. L. Hutchins, the cotton expert, was praising an apt and witty speech. "It reminded me," he said. "of a scene in a magistrate's court that saw in my boyhood. "An old man was haled before a magistrate for stealing chickens and the latter said very sternly to him: "You are charged with robbing hen roosts, my friend. Have you any witnesses?" "The veteran smiled calmly as he replied: "No, sir. In my country we don't rob hen roosts before witnesses." Fainting. Fainting is more frequent in summer than at other seasons of the year. It is caused by a sudden failure of the heart? Thus the brain has an insufficient amount of blood—things turn dark, the patient falls to the ground and is limp and unconscious. The face is pale. Fear, joy, unpleasant sights, loss of blood, or pain, may cause fainting. Nature suggests a remedy in having the patient fall. About the only thing to do is not to do the very thing that four out of five persons do in a case of fainting; namely, raise the patient. It is perfectly permissible to raise the patient, provided you keep the feet higher than the head. No pillow should be used for the head. The clothing around the neck should be Joosened; a dash of cold water thrown in the face will cause a gasp for breath, and the spell is over. The patient should keep the reclining position for some time after he becomes conscious. Ordinarily in a few minutes the patient will be all right if nothing more is done than to allow him to lie perfectly horizontal. If in a crowd, the people should be made to stand back, thus allowing plenty of fresh air. The patient should be removed to a quiet place as soon as possible. Hot drinks, and hot and cold applications to the spine are valuable if there is a tendency for the attack to recur. Outdoor Treatment for Tuberculosis. Medical experience in France has shown that the treatment of tuberculosis of the bones and joints and other forms of the disease by the open-air or outdoor method is quite as superior to the ordinary methods as is the outdoor treatment of tuberculosis of the lungs. Profiting by the experience of France, the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor has made provision at its seaside camp on Coney Island for the treatment of children suffering from various forms of tubercular disease.

Sixteenth Street SHOES Great Depths or Ocean A French writer in a scientific magazine tells of the great ocean depths of 28,000 to 30,000 feet, the temperature tending toward zero, the perpetual darkness ranging below depths of about 1,280 feet. At that level plants, deprived of light, can not exist. The animal life must be carrionous. The organs of sight, not being used, have become atrophied and disappeared. Yet there is light even in that sightless world. A German exploring ship found a fish with enormous eyes at a depth of 6,400 feet. Helps in Making Girdle: For the woman who makes her own shirred girdles there are girdle forms made of crinoline and boned that will be found very useful, as a good foundation is quite necessary for deep girdle.

The price of these forms is 15 cents. Giant Had Healthy Appetite. A Ghirgese giant who had been on exhibition in Hamburg was found on the streets of that city in a starving condition.

Employ a Lady. If every firm of architects would employ a lady who has made not only the arranging and decorating of a house her special study, but those more important structural and sanitary details as well, I venture to think, says a writer in the Sphere, it would not only mean increased business to the firm, but immense improvements and comfort in both houses and flats.

"In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed against rock walls, in dampness and extremes of cold," said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975 Jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in describing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that I contracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dubuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could work steadily and for eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. We consider them a household remedy that we are sure about." What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did for Mr. Menkel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins, pure, strong, rich, red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health. The new blood restores regularity, and braces all the organs for their special tasks. Get the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at your druggists' or direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.

Problem of the Supply Twenty Years Hence a Serious One. "Where the American people will draw their supply of hardwood from in 1925 or 1950 is a perplexing question," said William J. Tisdale of Bay City, to the Milwaukee Free Press. "Walnut has practically disappeared from the face of the earth, commercially speaking, and oak, ash and cherry will go the same way in another quarter or half a century. They are fast being cut down and nothing is done to renew the supply. The day is not far distant when the world will look to the vast forests of Siberia, South America and Africa for hardwood, and even this apparently limitless supply must some day be exhausted. There is a big quantity there yet, as the manufacturing in those regions is quite limited, but when the sawmills of America get to work on them they can't survive long. There are many mills in Michigan and in other states that use up fifty acres of lumber in one day and get away with twenty-five square miles of it in a year. That is fast work, and the forests of this planet are limited. It is estimated that in a few years, say four or five, the supply of oak, ash, cherry and mahogany will be as completely exhausted as is that of walnut at the present time. Unsettled countries must then contribute their hardwood freely to the furniture factories of America, and oak or ash kitchen cabinets will be unknown in the homes of people of moderate means." HONEST PHYSICIAN. Works with Himself First. It is a mistake to assume that physicians are always skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. $\triangle$ physician writes from Calif. to tell how he made a well man of himself with Nature's remedy: "Before I came from Europe, where I was born," he says, "it was my custom to take coffee with milk (cafe au lait) with my morning meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two or three additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms developed, with pains in the cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency—in brief, "the blues!" I at first tried medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that all my troubles were caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forthwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but in time the old distressing symptoms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table beverage. This I was compelled however to abandon speedily, for, while it relieved the nervousness somewhat, it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try the Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use it. I am no longer nervous, nor do I suffer from the pains about the heart, while my 'blues' have left me and life is bright to me once more. I know that leaving off coffee and using Postum healed me, and I make it a rule to advise my patients to use it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Here's a reason. TICKET BROKERS LOSE WHO HANDLED G. A. R. TICKETS Judge Dixon of Pueblo Imposes Heavy Fines—Railroads Cannot Be Kept Out of Court for Failure to Pay Tax. Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 20.—The three defendants cited to appear before Judge Dixon and answer to a charge of contempt of court in having disobeyed the injunction against dealing in Grand Army tickets, were yesterday fined in the sum of $350 each. Thomas May of Pueblo and William Schubach and I. C. Weil of Denver were the men fined. The case of A. J. Parks, also a Denver broker, was continued until Monday. The three men signified their intention of paying their fines at once. The testimony went to show that spotters had been hired by the railway companies to purchase tickets from these brokers. One of these was Mrs. T. M. Slusser, who, after several attempts, succeeded in buying a Rock Island ticket from the Pueblo broker. The Denver men were caught in the same manner and in one instance by the same woman. J. F. Crawford, a Colorado Springs broker who had been cited, was the last defendant examined. The testimony in his case revealed the fact that he had not been named in the restraining order and that he had sold tickets upon the advice of Judge Orr of Colorado Springs, who told him he was safe in doing so under the circumstances. Crawford was discharged. In announcing his decision in the contempt proceedings Judge Dixon delved deeply into the law and previous rulings. Regarding the charge that the railway companies had not paid their flat tax, Judge Dixon said that the state had forfeited its right to keep them from coming into court by not bringing proceedings to compel them to pay the tax. He said: "I concede the Legislature the right to pass laws governing corporations, but I deny the Legislature the right to pass judgment on its own laws, so made. To merely state that these roads cannot come into court because they have failed to pay this tax, would be divesting them of vested property rights without any process of law at all, and that cannot be done." Among the railroad representatives who were present at the contempt proceedings hearing were S. K. Hooper, general passenger agent of the Rio Grande; C. B. Sloat, general agent of the Rock Island; T. E. Fisher, general passenger agent of the Colorado & Southern; George Ady, general agent of the Union Pacific; N. Underhill of the Colorado Passenger Association, and J. F. Vallery, general agent of the Burlington. I. O. O. F. Bars Liquor Dealers Philadelphia, Sept. 20.—The real work of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows began Monday, when various resolutions for new legislation and amendments to the present laws were introduced at the session. Discussion will take place on the question of affiliation with Manchester Unity. There is considerable objection to the proposition, since it would admit regroves to membership. Chief interest in to-day's session centered about the question of the liquor traffic as being a bar to membership in the organization. The report, which was approved by the body in session, decides, in brief, that no one can remain a member of a lodge who is engaged in the liquor business in any way, unless he were a member and so engaged and has been continually since the first ruling was made at the 1895 convention at Atlantic City. A feature of the conclave was the parade of Odd Fellows this afternoon. The line of march covered a distance or more than three miles and it is estimated that 15,000 men were in line, Captain Allie Parker and her California drill corps, consisting of seventeen young women, occupied a position near the head of the line. A reunion of past grand representatives took place to night, at which addresses were made by F. C. Goudy of Denver and others. African M. E. Church.

Chicago, Sept. 20.—Western floods caused the Santa Fe railroad a loss of more than $2,000,000 in the fiscal year just closed. This is stated in the annual report, made public yesterday, showing gross earnings amounting to more than $68,000,000. With regard to the Santa Fe's new trans-continental line, it is said that work is progressing at three points, and it is expected that the entire line will be completed this year. This line will be somewhat shorter than the route by way of Trinidad, will avoid two mountain ranges between Trinidad and Albuquerque, and will be less exposed to interruption by freshes. The company is projecting a road from Wickenburg, Arizona, across the Colorado river to Bengal, on the main line to California. MONUMENT UNVEILED SITE OF BEECHER ISLAND FIGHT. Ceremonies Under Charge of the Grand Army or the Republic.—Address by General Forsey. Denver, Sept. 19.—A News special from Wray, Colorado, last night says: The Beecher island reunion closed today with the unveiling of the monument this afternoon. A heavy rain last night greatly marred the ardor of the crowd, and the rain continuing all the forenoon, many of the people had started for home. However, there were several hundred present, and the beautiful ceremony was carried out in its entirety. The unveiling was in charge of the department of Colorado and Wyoming, G. A. R., and was to have been directly in charge of Dr. Curfman, the department commander, but owing to sickness in the family he was unable to be present, but Adjutant General Daniels was present and represented him in the work, assisted by the department chaplain, Dr. Brooks of Fort Morgan. The night Colonel Carpenter arrived on the island with the relief for the scouts they all joined in singing "Tenting To-night," and the ceremony of unveiling the monument opened by singing this song. As the words fell from the lips of the singers tears fell from the eyes of the survivors standing within the railing about the monument. At the conclusion of the song General Forsyth stepped forward and with a short, but appropriate address, dedicated the statue to the heroes dead, to the heroes living and to the heroes of posterity. After his address Adjutant General Daniels proceeded with the regular ceremonial service of the G. A. R., and just at the close Miss Alice Donovau pulled the string that held the veiling, and the beautiful statue stood forth free to view, a notable memory to the purpose for which it was erected. As the vell fell to the base cheer after cheer rent the air. This closed the best reunion ever yet held at the island, but now that it is assuming permanency through the efforts of the association, and mostly through the efforts of the association's untiring president, Robert Lynam, the people of this vicinity are looking forward to many more happy gatherings when they and the scouts will gather in common reunion to live over again and again the scenes that have made this spot famous. In addition to the monument, there is now a beautiful headstone at the grave of each scout buried there. The battle of Beecher island began September 11, 1868, and continued for nine days, during which the Americans withstood the assaults of 1,000 Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, under the personal command of that fearless, sagacious and extremely cruel chief, Roman Nose. Among those who gave up their lives in this memorable struggle on the then barren plains of eastern Colorado was young Fred Beecher, a nephew of the late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. GOING TO NEW ORLEANS President Roosevelt Notified That Trip Will Be Safe Next Month. New Orleans, Sept. 19.—To-day Mayor Behman received a telegram from the President in regard to his forthcoming visit in October, saying that he would come October 24th, as previously arranged, or would defer it to a later date. To-night the committee in charge of the matter met and afterward the following telegram was sent by the mayor: "I have the honor to acknowledge your telegram of this date, and at a meeting of the executive committee of citizens held this evening, at which Dr. J. H. White, in charge of the United States marine hospital and public health department, was present, I was requested to telegraph you that we are absolutely convinced that there is no risk attached to your visit on the date originally arranged, October 24th, next, and that we willingly assume the responsibility. Knowing full well your desire to honor us, we cordially reiterate our heartfelt invitation. As to the possibility of your entering Arkansas after leaving here, we are at present uncertain, but have wired the authorities of that state, and will advise you shortly." In the President's dispatch he said: "My trip to the South begins on the 18tn of October, I had expected to arrive in New Orleans Tuesday, October 24th. If the people of Louisiana and New Orleans desire me to come at that time, of course I shall come. If they desire me to come later, I shall make a second trip for the express purpose of visiting Louisiana and Arkansas. I wish you to consider in this matter simply the wishes of the people of Louisiana and New Orleans, and also of course, the question of quarantine regulations of other states in so far as they would be affected by my entering them after leaving Louisiana. I shall do whatever the people of New Orleans and Louisiana wish, subject only to the feeling of the other states on this quarantine matter." Governor Otero's Narrow Escape. Santa Fe, N.M., Sept. 19.—Governor Otero, Superintendent H. O. Bursum of the penitentiary, ex-Gov. Frank M. Murphy of Prescott, Arizona, and Mrs. Joseph H. Kibbey, wife of the governor of Arizona, had a narrow escape from death Sunday night on the private car of ex-Governor Murphy between Lamy and Glorietta, on the Santa Fe. The car was attached to train No. 7 from the east and jumped the track at the edge of a precipice over 100 feet high. It was dragged several hundred yards over the ties before the train was stopped. The car was suspended over the precipice until the wrecking train arrived, but the other cars remained on the track and the couplings held the private car, preventing it from falling into the abyss. The accident delayed traffic several hours. Tumors Conquered Without Operations Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in Cases of Mrs. Fox and Miss Adams.

The recent campaign against the use of proprietary medicines, conducted in the columns of The Ladies' Home Journal and Collier's Weekly, has evoked an answer from the Committee on Legislation of the Proprietary Association. The committee says: "In considering the question raised by recent attacks upon proprietary medicines, every reasonable man will admit that there is a wide and legitimate field for the manufacture and sale of medicines already prepared for general use and easily obtainable at all times and everywhere. As a matter of fact these medicines are not patented at all, and the popular use of the word 'patent' in connection with them is a misnomer. Any pharmacist will tell you that practically the only 'patent' medicines in use to-day are those which are manufactured either by foreign or domestic pharmaceutical houses, and which are now almost exclusively dispensed by physicians or designated by them in their prescriptions. "The medicines which are now the subject of wholesale attack by Mr. Bok and Editor Hapgood are the old-fashioned family remedies properly described as 'proprietary medicines.' They are the favorite remedies among millions of people all over the country; and, notwithstanding the constant effort of some physicians to create prejudice against them, no one ever yet heard of any of the millions of users of such remedies asking for legislation or other action adverse to them." Some men marry money, and incidentally take a wife as a sort of necessary incumbrance. Moral suasion is all right in its way, but there are times when it should be backed up with a shotgun. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because 10c package contains 16 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lr jy who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. No man should start a fight with his wife unless he is prepared to pay an indemnity.

"Assuredly I would, your honor," replied the clergyman, without the least hesitation. "But," said the judge, "how do you reconcile this assertion, with the injunction of Scripture, 'Whom God hath joined let no man put asunder?'"

Amity Land and Irrigation Company Got Nearly Three Million Dollars. New York, Sept. 20.—That the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid out $218,264 to the Mercantile Trust Company in connection with certain loans known as the "Turner loans," and that these payments were without authority so far as the records of the society disclose, became known to-day when Paul Morton, president of the society, made public a report on the subject submitted by him to the society's directors. One of the loans was on the property of the Amity Land and Irrigation Company in Colorado, which has absorbed nearly $3,000,000 of the Equitable society's cash, the exact amount up to July 1st of this year being $2,809,633. John W. Young of Salt Lake is shown to have secured large loans on collateral which proved worthless. These transactions occurred in what Mr. Morton refers to as the "Turner loan." This loan, Mr. Morton's report sets forth, was carried in 1894 by the Western National Bank, which was controlled by the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The collateral for the loans was objected to by a bank examiner and Henry B. Hyde then agreed to transfer the loan and collateral to the Mercantile Trust Company. At that time apparently the loans amounted to $661,491. George W. Turner, in whose name the loan stood, was secretary to Louis Fitzgerald, then president of the Mercantile Trust Company and a close business associate of Henry B. Hyde. The loan was guaranteed by Marcellus Hartley, John N. Searles, Louis Fitzgerald, W. N. Coler, Jr., and H. B. Hyde. March 21, 1895, the same guarantors renewed their guaranty, the loan having grown to $1,276,478, the increase being due to attempts to develop the property on which the collateral for the loan was made. Part of this collateral was given by John W. Young and consisted of Salt Lake & Eastern railroad stock and other Salt Lake stocks. This collateral proved to be of little value. Other collateral consisted of contracts of the Kentucky Mineral and Timber Company and the Amity Land and Irrigation Company of Colorado. Attempts were made to develop the Kentucky property and the Colorado property and large sums were extended for that purpose, and by July 1, 1905, the cost of the Kentucky property stood at $61,067 and the Colorado property at $2,809,633. The Equitable Life Assurance Society paid the Mercantile Trust Company $218,264 on these loans January 23, 1900, and $500,000. February 4, 1904 "The records of the society," said Mr. Morton, "disclose no authority whatever for these payments and the cash entries in respect to them were very obscure." King Reviews Scotch Troops. Edinburg, Scotland, Sept. 20.—The greatest muster of Scotchmen under arms since the battle of Flodden field was reviewed by King Edward here Monday. The king arrived at the Scottish capital in the morning and proceeded to holyrood palace, whence, attended by the Duke of Connaught and a brilliant staff, he rode' to the parade ground in King's park, where nearly 40,000 Scotch volunteers marched past his majesty. Enormous numbers of visitors from all parts of Scotland and the north of England witnessed the review, which is expected to assist in counteracting the extreme irritation felt in volunteer circles over recent worrying regulations of the war office. During the march past, Sir Thomas Lipton, who is honorary colonel of the Second Lancashire engineers, was leading his regiment past the king when his horse threw him and Sir Thomas was kicked in the face. His injuries are most serious. Sir Thomas' injuries consisted of a cut mouth and bruised shoulder and arm. He was unseated owing to a sudden swerve of his horse, although he is a good rider. The king sent an equerry to Sir Thomas' hotel to inquire about his condition. Columbus Monument Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 20.—Mayor J. T. West was asked to-day to state that all citizens are requested to join with the Italian society in the dedication of the Columbus monument on October 12th. Hector Chiarigione, president of the Allied Italian Societies of the United State and one of the principal movers in the monument exercises, went to Denver to-day to make arrangements with the governor and other officials to be present. It is stated by the committee in charge that many of the leading Italians of the United States will be present at the dedication. Workmen are erecting the superstructure on the foundation established more than a year ago and this work will be completed and ready for the $5,000 statue of America's discoverer on time. The site is on Abriendo avenue, in front of the Carnegie Library. Komura Has Typhoid Fever. New York, Sept. 20.—Baron Komura, the Japanese envoy, who is ill in the Waldorf-Astoria, has typhoid fever. His physicians agreed on the diagnosis Monday, but said it was a mild case of typhoid. This final diagnosis may alter the plan to start westward with the baron on October 2nd. Mr. Sato, the baron's secretary, announced the decision of the physicians in the following bulletin: "The physicians in attendance on Baron Komura met in conference this afternoon with Dr. Suzuki, the surgeon general of the imperial Japanese navy. They pronounced Baron Komura's condition satisfactory in every respect and they expect an uninterrupted convalescence. The diagnosis of mild, irregular typhoid fever was agreed upon."

MONROE DRUG CO., Unionville, Missouri FOIBLES OF FASHION An original frock seen on a young girl at the luncheon hour might easily be reproduced by any clever dressmaker. It was a white mull of heavy and firm quality laid in side plaits around the hips, these being released just below the hip line. It was of round length and was finished at the bottom with an almost knee-deep flounce of all-over English embroidery done in scallops at the lower edge as well as the top and having run through the top two lines of half-inch black velvet ribbon two inches apart, these gathered the ruffle and were tied at the left side in careless bows. The deep girdle, which merely rounded down a little at the front, was of finest white kid and closed with a silver buckle. The short Eton coat was entirely of the openwork embroidery, unlined and worn over a blouse of mull to match the skirt. The jacket, which otherwise would have hung straight, was also gathered or drawn in below the fust by a half-inch black velvet ribbon run through the openwork embroidery, and a butterfly bow of wider black velvet ribbon finished the front, where the narrow ribbon ends met. The sleeves—large, single puffs of the embroidery—had similar velvet lacings at the elbow that gathered the scalloped edges at the bottom into M. three-inch ruffles. Both the sleeves and the jacket were cut from wide embroidered flouncings, and therefore had embroidered scallops as a finish at their edges. The Eton jacket did not extend over the shoulders, but the back and the front were held in place by two straps of half-inch velvet ribbon going over each shoulder; one of these straps finished, or rather concealed, the others, some two inches from the sleeve strips, held the body of the jacket in place. In the front, revers cut from the mull, the shape of a shawl cut diagonally through the center, were joined to the jacket tops; these were hand embroidered and had hemsstitched edges. In the back, however, the straight-across top showed scallops to match the lower edge. The stock and front of the mull underblouse were embroidered to match the revers on the jacket and the elbow sleeves of mull were finished by narrow embroidered bands. A broad-brimmed white hat, trimmed with black velvet ribbon and sprays of wistaria, topped the frock, one of the prettiest seen, this summer in town. Here are a few pointers on coming fashions. Sleeves are to continue short. Skirts are to either trail on the ground or be very short; no more will be seen the ankle-length gowns which are so unbecoming to the average figure. Skirts that just escape the ground seem to be a woman's idea of a comfortable dress, when in reality it is an ugly and dirty length. I say dirty because it gathers up more dust than you can imagine, and of course can never be held up. Let me say a word on the subject of holding up your gown. Have you ever watched the various ways it can be done? Have you sat in any public place and seen a stream of women, fat and thin, tall and short, old and young, and after growing thoroughly discouraged at the way they walk and hold themselves begin to notice their different ways of doing things? Call to your mind the fat woman in a hurry to catch a train; her bonnet slightly askew, her flushed face, and that frightful shopping bag, with feather handles, which she holds together, to hold in the bundles which are oozing out. The bag itself is one of those flat cloth ones which nine out of ten women love. With her other hand she clutches the skirt at the side, toward the front, and holds it high in the air, showing, usually a cloth boot with elastic sides and a stout ankle. Her gown trails out in every direction and she moves like a frigate under full sail, as the wind slowly creeps under and inflates the skirt, while she, sublimely unconscious, lifts the skirt higher in just that one place, and sails on to her moorings. Don't you remember the girl who holds her skirt tightly about her, as if lashed to the mast, bundling it all up about her any which way, and half the time her boots or shoes are not what they should be, and her petticoat is frayed or soiled. How many people can stand having their feet looked at? You have all made a study of a row of feet in some electric car, beginning at one end, and following right along the line, and you have noticed the rapidity with which the women haul down their skirts and the men shift and wiggle and try to sit on their feet. Perhaps one in that whole car will sit severely satisfied and allow you to look and admire, and to wish the whole world would go and do like wi. No woman is so beautiful and no man so good-looking that they can afford to be slip shod about anything. When shoes get down at the heel they should be repaired or disposed of. I don't care whether they are otherwise perfectly good. Get good, expensive shoes, made to fit, and of the best material. Never leave them off without at once putting them on trees, for that makes shoes keep their shape. Now, the average person doesn't tree shoes except now and then, or when they are being cleaned, and, having one 'pair only, this is no good. Invest in skeleton trees at least, which are $1 a pair, and keep every slipper and shoe on them, whether traveling, visiting or at home. Always keep the shoes clean; if colored kid use cleansing fluid; if brown on white get proper materials and learn how to do it yourself, for in many houses it is not done for you, and you should go prepared. I've known many a girl to wear the same shoes for weeks without treeing or cleansing, and yet she had good clothes and thought she looked well. Being neat and fresh is as important as taking the trouble to remember the names of every numan being you meet, and always have a smile and cordial bow to greet them with. It not only brings you happiness in endless ways, and helps you an untold amount in politics, business or social life, but it brightens many a sad heart and lightens the burden on many tired shoulders.—Exchange. Wool Waists. The wool waist gains in favor over heavy linens and chevoits for cool weather. White is more desirable, but light colors are seen and plains will be worn a great deal for informal occasions. The lingerie waists will be worn all winter, and soft silks have by no means lost popularity. Among the wool waists batiste, flannel, mohair, albatross and veiling are favorites. All of these except flannel wash perfectly, and flannel is not impossible, if the laundress be an expert. Ordinarily it is better to have flannel dry cleaned. New wool waists trimmed with eyelet embroidery are interesting novelties. They are to be had in half a dozen fabrics, the softer materials such as albatross being very pretty. Street Sui% of Silk. Changeable silk will be largely used for fall costumes and are wonderfully effective. Among an early showing was one in greens and browns, the different shades harmonizing beautifully. The design has a plain, full skirt, with four applied tucks at bottom. The jacket is of the collarless bolero type with applied tucks in design. It closes in surplice fashion and has two wide pieces of Persian embroidery in delicate shades as revers. The strapped pieces of silk around the neck are fastened down in front with fancy buttons. Mosquetaire gloves are worn, therefore the sleeves are quite short with a straight cuff of brown velvet. Barley Meal Scones. Add a little salt to as much barley meal as you require, and mix with it sufficient hot milk to make a thick paste. Roll out thin and cut into three-cornered pieces; bake in a very quick oven. Cut open and butter while hot. Doudoir Confidences One of the most popular fashions of this season is the surplice waist. The simple coat for general wear is the short cut, tan covert cloth. Hemstitched ruffles are very neat and are seen in the most exclusive things. The wearing of a scarf in tulle, chiffon, lace or thin silk has become a veritable furore. All the fashionable garments for street and evening wear reveal the short-waisted tendency. Black and white pin-checked taffeta is being made up into sweet little box coats for baby's wear. A new changeable velvet in three shades, called scarabee, will be among the successful novelties. Corset covers are trimmed almost allike front and back, but the decora- tions rarely extend below a pretty yoke depth. The bright, scarlet coats, displaying green broadcloth collars, are still considered the smartest for the small man's wear. The kimono craze has extended to wraps, and now the most gorgeous evening creations fashioned along these lines are shown. Many of the early fall models in millinery have high, wide brims, high crowns and are trimmed with sweeping ostrich feathers that are shaded. One of the most notable whims this season is the mixture of materials of every varying texture, not so much as trimmings, but as a whole part of the design. Combs of all sorts and sizes are worn, and where a set of combs used to consist of a big comb and two side combs, it now comprises five combs and a barrette. Black Lace Coats are Coming. Black lace coats are to be very smart next winter, and are also worn now with black chiffon gowns. The chiffon and lace combine extremely well and often when it is desired to have a sharp contrast the fashion is to wear a white lace coat with a black skirt. A bolero of white lace on a black dress, if a woman has a good enough figure to carry it off well. is always smart and effective, but if the figure is not all that may be desired, then it is just as well to have the lace in black also, thus eliminating the sharp contrast outlining the figure. Handkerchief in the Glove. The fashionable handkerchief of today must be as small as possible and the newest thing is a tiny handkerchief to be carried in the glove. It is a piece of the finest muslin a few inches square, trimmed with lace, and small enough and soft enough to be kept in the glove. On it the name or monogram is embroidered in the smallest letters and the whole thing is so useless that the owner only just escapes being without a handkerchief at all. A Chic Afternoon Hat. A dainty hat for afternoon wear is pale blue Neapolitan with Tam O'Shanter crown. The brim is faced with tiny folds of black tulle and shaded blue wings and blue velvet ribbon adorn the top. Revival of the Caster. The table caster is being revived, but it is as a wee accessory for each individual cover, and not the large stand for the center of the table. These little casters contain bottles for pepper and salt and a vinegar cruet. Other small ones have a tiny bottle at either side of the stand with a hollow dish for salt suspended between them. They are very cunning and give an altogether modern air to a table. Very short skirts are the absolute rule and it matters little what the material may be. The short skirt is here to stay for some time at least and those who contemplate making up a gown would do well to take heed and study its ways. The short skirt has many things in its favor. It is very light in weight, for it is abbreviated to such an extent that fountes and ruffles are almost impossible. It is becoming to the feet. It is comfortable and it takes little material. More than all these, it is fashionable and the fashion has spread until it now reaches Paris and is popular in Vienna, where there was the greatest protest against it. The Paris modistes are chopping off the gowns right at the ankles. The new short skirts are much shorter than the former ones. They are now made instep high and some of them are even less. They most decidedly show the feet, and this calls for the prettiest of shoes. New Idea in Chemisettes Chemisettes have been rushed to death, yet the prettiest of the simpler blouses show evidence that the craze isn't over by any means. Not that separate chemisettes are worn with blouses, but the yoke takes the form of an attached chemisette, the blouse foiding over it, and usually being finished with scallops, embroidered by hand.

MINING METHOD OF AMERICA Why Production Here is Larger Per Capita Than Aboard. It is not difficult to understand the manufacturing supremacy of the United States when one compares our coal production statistics with those of foreign countries, says the Boston Transcript. The country having a cheap supply of fuel for steam purposes will lead in manufacturing. There are employed in the coal mines of Great Britain nearly 900,000 men, and they produced last year a coal product valued at $100,000,000 more than that in this country. Yet with less than 522,000 coal miners in the United States we produced 50,000,000 tons more of coal than did Great Britain. With us there is an average production per miner of a little less than 1,000 tons of coal per annum. Great Britain produces 287 tons per capita, Germany 242 tons, France 198 tons, and Belgium 166 tons. These figures show the immense superiority of the American coal miner, yet mine owners testify that it is due to methods rather than men, as the British miners who come here make our best workmen. The difference is that Great Britain largely clings to the antiquated method of pick mining, while here steam has taken the place of muscle and powder has been substituted for picks. In the thicker coal seams there is no longer any pick work and the physical exercise of drilling is no longer necessary. Yet there is another side to the matter. The mortality from accidents in the Illinois coal mines last year was 2.87 per 1,000 men employed which is one and one-half times the percentage of fatal accidents in British mines. It is evident that some means should be taken to reduce the death rate and it has been suggested that blasts should not be made when the miners are still at work, but should be set off after hours by men chosen for this dangerous occupation. Some Words of Counsel. Gallant rescues of fair young ladies by brave young men are the order of the day at the bathing resorts. In the routine of romance, as the accounts commonly run, there are tears of gratitude, the hasty avowal, and the happy wedding day. Now, if this sort of casual life-saving is to take rank as a summer industry, ought it not to be kept free from sentimental consequences? Ought the dashing young hero as he plunges through the waves to catch the beautiful young heroine by the hair as she goes under for the third time to be burdened with doubts as to whether his income is sufficient to support two? It is likely to chill the stoutest heart that ever breasted the sea to have to ask itself at so critical a moment whether the drowning girl may not belong to a different social set, whether her parents may not have plans for her future. A man may stand ready, as a matter of course, to brave any perils to save a woman's life and still desire leisure to consider whether the time has come to abandon his bachelor habits and live in a h. Queer Names of Papers. When it comes to sticking to the text in the matter of names of newspapers that have a local significance, the western editor displays a tact that is not found in any other part of the country. Here are the names of a few weekly newspapers published west of the Mississippi: Whimwham. Prairie Dog. Prairie Owl. Western Cyclone. The Kansas Cowboy. Sedalia Bazoo. Tombstone Epitaph. Texas Jimplecute. Dillion Doublejack. Grigsby City Scorcher. Thomas County Cat. Comanche Chief. Dally Dinner Bell. Wahoo Wasp.—Denver News. Tips Lead to Bribes. At the recent convention in Hamburg of the Coal Dealers' association of Germany a number of delegates spoke on the practice of tipping and bribing. They complained that stickers and others having to do with coal used in manufacturing works and large establishments of any kind must be given oribe money, or have their influence used against the coal dealers to prevent the securing of new orders. The delegates urged the necessity of taking measures to abolish the nefarious practice. Americans traveling in Europe find the tipping abuse very annoying. The tipping evil has undoubtedly led to the bribery method which now has become so vexious to business people. His Customary Luck. Mr. Makinbrakes, burning with that zeal to be kind and helpful to his fellow men, always so characteristic of him, had kicked a banana peel off the sidewalk and into the street. "It's a wonder somebody hasn't slipped on that and broken a leg," he soliloquized, as he walked along "Anybody that will throw a banana skin on the sidewalk ought to be—" This is as far as Mr. Makinbrakes got. The next moment he was fleeing for his life from an infuriated teamster whose horse had slipped on that banana skin and taken a hard fall on the asphalt pavement.
