COUNTRY PARTY RACE THE COLORADO STATESMAN LABOR SHALL BE FREE THE JOURNAL OF THE STATE THE NEGRO As a Business Man Discussed by Booker T. Washington in Various Periodicals. Oklahoma and Indian Territories Offers Great Advantages. VOL. XII. THE N As a Business Man Discussed Various Periodicals Territories Offers How far it is possible for the Negro to go into business and how great is his chance of success beside the white man are questions that have recently been discussed by Booker T. Washington. In the American Illustrated Magazine he says: "Some years ago in the course of my journeys about the country, my attention was called to the considerable number colored people engaged usually in a small way, in some form of business Many of these enterprises were insignificant, as far as the amount of business they did is concerned, and not all of them—though it is said of the Negro of Africa that he is a natural-born trader—showed any especial capacity in the men who conducted them. What was particularly interesting to me, in what I saw and learned in regard to these men, was the disposition they showed to try experiments, to learn by experience, and turn to account the obstacles they encountered. "It was to encourage the enterprise of these men, and to extend the influence they exerted in stimulating habits of thrift and industry, in the mass of the Negro people, that the National Negro Business League was formed. The records of this league show that, during the forty years since emancipation, men of the colored race have gone into the wilderness to found towns; that they have raised capital and established banks among an impovrished people; that they have mastered trades, and founded upon them prosperous business enterprises; that in many other ways they have understood how to take advantage of their opportunities, and directly or indirectly improve the conditions and raise the standard of the people of their race in the communities where they live." The conclusion that Mr. Washington comes to is that whatever special difficulties the Negro has to face, whatever obstacles race prejudice or his own history may place in his way, the Negro, under freedom, has the right to work, at least in the South, and work for the best things the world offers. He has the opportunity to make himself useful and to share the benefits that his genius and his labor confer on those around him. That is, it seems to me, what emancipation means in practice, of the Negro. That is, after all, means all that it could mean." "I am inclined to believe," says Mr. Washington in another article in the Congregationalist, "that at the present time there is no place in this country where one can study the race problem to better advantage than in the Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Into this new country the colored people from the South have come in considerable numbers. While I was pleased to learn that an unusually large number of these black immigrants had become owners of land in the city and in the country, I was not surprised to see that in the cities at least, except in Muskogee, I. T., they did not seem to have prospered in the same degree as have their white neighbors. Considering the conditions out of which most of them came and the habits and traditions they brought with them, nothing else could have been expected of them. "In certain parts of the Indian Territory where they have been longer settled and have had special opportunities, I found the Negro people had made considerable progress in the line I have indicated. There are a number of Negro towns in Indian Territory where colored men have had an opportunity to experiment and learn something about business administration and self-government in a way they do not have where these affairs are in control of the white race. But on the other hand I found a considerable number of colored men in business of some kind or other, and many of them doing quite as well as the white man beside them. On the whole, I came away from this new southwestern country with the feeling that the Negro people in this region were making real and rapid progress and doing as well as any one could possibly expect of them." A LIBERAL WHITE MAN. With regard to separate schools for Negro children, Dr. William Hayes Ward, white, of Newark, N. J. in commenting on the situation in East Orange, N. J. writes in the Newark Evening News. "I do not know a more religious thing I can do than to express my indignation at the action of the East Orange Board of Education in separating the colored children from the white children in the schools of the town. Some years ago I sat at a church sociable in Newark with three old colored men all of whom had been held as slaves in this state. They told me tales of the cruelty of slavery as they had known it here in Newark and its vacinity, and where the whipping post was in Orange, where slaves were punished. But I thought the legal separation of a servile class was a thing of the past. As a christian man I wish to protest against this action. It is against the spirit of Christianity and of constitution. It establishes a caste of color. It teaches our white children that colored children are their inferiors, and that God made them so. It is a piece of contemptible white arrogance, and cruel because it tries to keep down those who have suffered too much already through our fault. I am amazed that a board of education in a state which teaches equal rights should for a moment think of allowing such a segregation of our American born citizens because of their color, and I wish to express my conviction that a superintendent of public schools who can devise such a separation and urge its adoption is not fit to hold any elective office in this free country, and further, that parents have no right to send their children to school where they are thus degraded and insulted. It is better that they seek private instruction at their own expense than that they should send their children to be taught anything less than equality and fraternity. The Negro school is the legitimate successor to the Negro whipping post. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. White waiters after a years trial failed to "make good" in the New Seelbach, the biggest hotel in Louisville, Ky.'and now the ebony sons of Ham are called upon to take their places. P. Logan is the unpretentious name of a colored man at Okalona, Miss., who has a hobby for real estate. He owns several store buildings, eighteen or twenty residences a large plantation containing a section and a half, and lives in the home owned at one time by his former master. Samuel Taylor a Negro who has recently graduated from the Shortridge High School of Indianapo- lis, Ind, and has entered upon his Freshman year in Depauw U. has walked off with the oratorical honors of the interstate debate. He has the distinction of being the first Negro to be so honored. Lansing, Mich, January 23.—E Brown a colored man from Van Buren county, convicted of criminal assault on a white girl, was today granted a new trial by the supreme court. The relations of the couple were proven, but the judge in charging the jury, seemed to have prejudiced the case of the respondent by dwelling on the fact that he was a colored man. According to the Boston Transcript, Stephen Bates, a colored man, has been chief of police and city sheriff Vergennes, Vermont, for twenty-six consecutive years. He was born of free parents at Shirley, Virginia, nearly sixty-four years ago. Bates is a very intelligent man, entirely self-taught and occupies a high place in the estimation of the community where he lives. A colored theater of Mobile, Ala. the only one in the South, will be erected by David Temple Lodge, No. 1672. I. O. O. F. The building will cost, when fully complete $40,000. Plans for the building were accepted from Geo. D. Hulburt & Co., architects, of this city, at a meeting held by the building committee of the city council and members of the order at their hall, there being about 120 present. The vote was unanimous. Cornelius Vanderbilt Washington, an Afro-American farmer living near Durant, Miss. has become white. He had a strange illness about twelve years ago and began turning white, and with the exception of small spots on his body his skin is entirely white. His hair and other distinctly Negro characteristics remain. He is forty-five years of age. Other colored people near Durant are becoming spotted and it is believed they will also turn white. Because he was chained to a Negro convict and marched through the streets of Pratt City, Ala., N. W. Kenmore, who served a sentenced in Pratt mines, has entered suit against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, for damages to the amount of $1,959. He asserts that he was greatly humiliated to be forced to march chained to a Negro through the public streets and that there is a law against such action. This is the first suit of the kind ever filed in the state. Columbus, O., Jan. 19.—At Starling Medical college yesterday discovery was made while students were dissecting the body of a col- ored man that practically all the internal organs were strangely arranged, being on the side opposite to that where they belong. Not many cases of the kind are on record. Physicians say the man apparently died from old age and that his internal disarrangement had never affected him. They say that he was between 65 and 70 years of age and probably never knew of his plight. Members of the medical profession in Columbus will view the body this evening between 8 and 9:30 o'clock. South Haven, Mich., Jan. 21. Fruitland, one of the largest summer hotels here, and formerly the most popular, is to pass into the hands of wealthy colored people, who will turn it into a resort for people of that race. The property is situated on the bank of the lake and is surrounded by many pretty summer homes owned by Chicago people. The latter have been notified of the transaction and they offer their cottages for sale and will move to a different part of the city. John Connor, a wealthy colored farmer, of Covert, is promoting the hotel scheme, backed by people from St. Louis and Chicago. "The Anglo-Saxon race is fast degenerating," declared Mrs. Charlotte Granger, of Cartersville, Ga., before the Women's League, at New Orleans. "It is fast becoming puny and dwarfed because the life is being worked out of them. The Negro children are far far better than the white children of the South. They are chopping a little wood and hoeing a little cotton in the open air, while the little white children are being ground alive in the mills." It is hopeful that some club women have serious ideas—are looking at life as being something other than a discussion of aesthetics and fashions and the latest novel. The poor whites of the South are taught to vote the Democratic ticket and their children are suffering because of their ignorance and race prejudice. When a white man in the South protests, the masters yell "Negro supremacy" and the whites crouch in shame and terror and drive their children back to the factory with their votes. If the present state of affairs continues the whites will be inferior to the Negro in another generation, mentally and physically. Great is Democratic supremacy. The New York World is a Democratic newspaper which has rung clear on the race question ever since it has been owned by Joseph Pulitzer. In its last Sunday edition The World says, editorially: "It is curios that the man who is doing more than any other at the present moment to revive barbar- NO. 19. ism and glorify mob rule in the South is a Christian minister, and that the man who has been the leader in peaceful constructive work to free the South from the curs of an evil inheritance was born a slave." This is a fair and generous statement of the case. Thomas Dixon is the worst enemy the South has at the moment, while Booker T Washington is the best friend it has. The one teaches hate and extermination; the other teaches mutual respect, tolerance and general uplift. The one is respected and trusted by the best people of the whole country; the other is making himself despised and distrusted by the people of the whole country, including those of the South." Public Printer Charles S. Stillings starts out well with his administration of the affairs of the Government Prinfing office and is keeping close in touch with the broad policy of Mr. Ricketts in recognizing merit, whether it lies under a black skin or a white one. Mr. Stillings knows men only by their capacity and work, and when promotions are to be passed around the Negro printer may rest assured that he will get a square deal. We are gratified to know that in addition to Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Mr. W. T. Menard the brilliant newspaper correspondent and Mr. A. A. Martin, an efficient, master of the art preservative, have been placed in charge of type setting machines in the large government printery at Washington. Both gentlemen are from Florida, and are doing their share to keep the state wherein Ponc de Leon sought the fountain of youth, perpetually in the "spotlight." For years Mr. Menard has been employed in the division where the exacting work of preparing the weekly specification of patents is preformed, and he is regarded as the banner workman there—which by the way is no small distinction for any compositor in the land. On the Lanston machine, we are satisfied that Messrs Bryant, Menard and Martin will all "make good" and reflect credit upon themselves and the race. It may be encouraging to know that out of approximately 1200 composers in Public Printer Stillings' "shop," 24 are colored, and out of 150 machines recently installed, a have been assigned to colored operators. The compensation is $4.00 per day, and very conclusively answers the question. Does industrial education pay. Bessie Hester, age 18, white was taken away from her escort at the point of a pistol the 27th at Festus Mo., and out-ragged by four white men. Tne brutes will not be lynched.

The Looking-glass, and How it Looks to Men and Women! It ts not always for the mere cratl- fication of personal vanity that we should attentively study our mirrors. says the London Chronicle, Socrates advised all young people to look often in their looking-slass to ascertain if they were good-looking—that if they were so they might strive to make their mental attainments. respond, and if they were not, then they mizht endeavor by the superior ageomp!ish- ments of their minds to make up for their personal shortcomings. — This is excellent advice for vauity- possessed moderns, but it ig improb- able that the high mental attitude of Socrates is appreciated by them. How the elaborate toilets of to-day could be accomplished without the aid of the mirror it is impossivle to imagine. It is popularly supposed that the mirror is the woman's pet possession, but man is by no means averse to contemplating his manly charms as reflected therein, A wom- an frankly confesses her interest in the alluring combination of glass and quicksilver, but the man, while volc- ing his scorn, proves his superior van- ity by his concealed and secretive study of it. He jeers at his wife's cheyal glass, but was anything more entirely provocative of human vanity ever invented than the many-sided shaving glass? FOR THE BEST DRUGS GO TO FRANK P.

Bram Stoker, who for many years was connected with the management of the late Sir Henry Irving, tells of an ineldent which occurred during the player's tour of the middie west. It appears that Irving in order to break a “long jump” from here to an- other city was desirous of securing for one night the theater of a town in Indiana. Accordingly Stoker wired the individual who was both pro- prictor and manager of the playhouse in question requesting that Sir Henry he given a night's engagement, Ina short while Mr. Stoker received the following: “Does Irving parade?” When shown this the distinguished Briton was much amused. He direct: ed Stoker to reply that “Irving was a tragedian, not a minstrel” The fur. ther reply came: “Don't want’ Irving mnieds he nareaen.” IT IS EASY TO BUY FROM John Thompson Grocery Company I.

Denver, Cole, COLORADO STATE HORTICUL- TURAL SOCIETY MEETING. PRIZE AWARDS ANNOUNCED Mr. Parsons Tells About Small Fruits —Papers on Orcharding Read— Last Year Was _-a Profitable One. at ee. oe Denver—Having done all they could to help organize the Farmers’ Congress which met under the auspices of their organization on Tuesday, delegates to the Colorado State Horticultural So- ciety appeared in numbers Wednesday morning for the opening session of their fifth annual convention, which is being held at the Chamber of Com- merce building. According to their custom each year, they now seek new ideas regarding the growing of fruit, and one of the best best methods of accomplishing this object, they be- lieve, is by mingling together and dis- cussing horticultural conditions. The last year has been one of profit to the fruit growers of the state, and no adverse reports were heard. The sentiment seemed to be that the fruit crop Was generally good throughout Colorado. “The Strawberry and Other Small Fruits,” a-paper read by Charles L. Parsons, Boulder, was a subject that awakened the interest of all the dele- gates, since the majority have small fruit ranches. ‘That the scores of varieties of strawberries grown to-day, have sprung chiefly from the type that originated in the West was a state- ment of Mr, Parsons that caused not a little surprise among his hearers. “Careful selection and skillful _cross- ‘ing,” said he, “have developed from the wild berry twice the size of a pea, \the large, luscious fruit of the presegt time, from the best of which twelve berries have been known to fill a box. At the afternoon session B, F. Rock- afellow of Canon City read a paper on “Commercial Orcharding,” and Hon. J. H. Crowley of Rocky Ford told the members “How and Where to Plant an Orchard.” Awards for the best varieties of fruit were then made as follows: Commercial Winter Apple—North- ern division: First C. E. Parfet, Golden; second division, W. W. Wolf, Boulder; third, E. D, Smith, Mason: ville. Southern division: First, Fre- mont Horticultural Society; second, Northern Fruit Growers.

Durango Pioneer and Former State Senator Passes Away. Denver. — A Durango dispatch Wednesday night says: Former State Senator Charles Newman died at his home here shortly after 10 o'clock to- night of pneumonia, having been ill only a few days, Mr. Newman was at Red Mountain several days ago and while there con- tracted a severe cold. The disease which resufted in his death developed later. He was about fifty years of age and leaves a widow and two daugh- ters, Several years ago Mr. Newman served in the State Senate from the counties of La Plata and Montezuma, but retired after serving two or three terms. He was actively engaged in mining operations all over this section and was well and favorably known all over the state. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. ‘The Newman block, one of the finest business blocks in this city, was built by him and remainsya monument to his memory. One of his daughters is Mrs. Lloyd Sheets, whose husband is cashier of the Smelter City State Bank of Du- rango, and the other daughter, Miss Lena Newman, is librarian of the pub- Me library of this city.

Professor Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. It is easily grown." A bulletin by the Pennsylvania State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng Root is rapidly diminishing and the price per pound is corespondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future." American Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in America. Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from $6.00 to $8.00 per pound, while the cost of production is less than $1.50. There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary garden vegetables. There are two planting seasons, spring and fall. We are buyers and exporters of the dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Ginseng. You can get a practical start in the business for a small outlay and soon have a nice income. Send two-cent stamp to-day for our illustrated literature telling all about it.

M'KENZIE MADE PRESIDENT Two Former Organizations Harmoniously Joined—Gifford Pinchot Presents Letter from President Roosevelt. Denver.—Live stock men of the Nation, gathered in Denver to participate in the various conventions, had a busy day Tuesday. In the morning they witnessed the re-marriage of the two great national associations, so unhappy divorced a year before and in the afternoon they attended the live stock show. The new association elected Murdo Mackenzie president, doing it by acclamation. An important event of the day was the annual convention of the National Wool Growers' Association, which took action looking toward the building of the organization into a body of strength and power. To this end they employ a secretary at a salary and will begin an active campaign. During the afternoon Mr. Pinchot met a committee from the Colorado stockman, who submitted their plan for the control of the forest reserves under the Department of Forestry, Mr. Pinchot said that he was so well pleased with it that he has anticipated it, and in some parts of the country already has that very program in operation. The consolidation of the two associations upon a basis that eliminates all inimical interests was consumated without flourish of trumpets or oratorical bouquets. The members of the American Stock Growers' Association took seats in the body of the Broadway Theatre at 9:15 yesterday morning, and the members of the National Live Stock Association gathered in the lobbies. They had previously held a short session at the Brown Palace hotel and voted to adopt the plan of the executive committees made the night before. Murdo Mackenzie, president of the American, called his convention to order and briefly recited the work of the committee in preparing the way for the union. It was up to the association to confirm or reject. John W. Springer made the motion to ratify the committee's action. The vote was taken without a dissenting voice. The members of the National association were then invited into the body of the house and after they were seated, F. J. Hagenbarth, the president, announced that that body had also ratified the action of the committee. Mr. Hagenbarth called the meeting to order and asked for nominations for permanent chairman. S. H. Cowan of Texas named Murdo Mackenzie, for the position, and no other name was offered. He was elected unanimously. This was not a surprise to many, because it had been whispered around during the morning that Mr. Hagenbarth would decline to be a candidate. Governor McDonald and Mayor Speer both being absent from the city, City Attorney H. A. Lindsley, as proxy for the mayor, welcomed the stockmen to the city. Gifford Pinchot, chief of the department of forestry, was next introduced and spoke briefly, presenting a letter from President Roosevelt. Mr. Pinchot said: "I bring you his personal greetings and have instructions to tell you that he knows something about your troubles himself; that he realizes the vast importance of having the forest reserves rightly handled. "That he recognizes the signs of the coming change in conditions on the open range, and the tremendous interests of the stockmen at stake in that change; and that in both of these great questions, forest reserves and open range, he wants and will welcome your co-operation, suggestions and advice. "That he counts on you to remember that great national questions such as these cannot be handled rightly either by you or the administration unless they are handled on broader considerations than the personal interests of any single man or set of men. "Finally, that he sends you his heartiest good wishes for the success of this convention and good luck to you all." President Hagenbarth delivered his annual address, which commanded close attention. He dwelt particularly upon the unsatisfactory conditions of our foreign meat trade. He said that the cattle breeders and feeders of the United States must notify Congress that their legitimate markets abroad must be conserved and developed. The splendid condition of the sheep interest, he said, is due to education of the public and proper breeding. The breeding of horses is on the increase and goat raising has taken a permanent place in the land. At this point Mr. Hagenbarth sprung a sensation by making a motion that the by-laws be suspended and that Murdo Mackenzie be elected president of the American National Live Stock Association for the year. There were a lot of seconds to this and the stockmen jumped to their feet to cheer and make the vote unanimous. Mr. Mackenzie accepted the honor and asked that a real, live executive committee be named to stand back of him and help in the work. Four important events were chronicled in the proceedings of the stockmen Wednesday. The American National Live Stock Association started the day by putting the new organization on its feet with a fund of over $10,000. Gifford Pinchot, chief of the division of forestry, and close to the administration, has admitted to the stockmen that the policy of the government is going to be to take over the public domain and administer it in the interest of the stock industries, very much on the plan that the grazing lends in the forest reservations are being administered. The expense of such administration will be much less than in a forest reserve, and a fee will be charged sufficient to maintain the work COLORADO NEWS ITEMS The Young Men's Christian Association of Durango is raising a fund to erect a building. Oscar Telling, for a long time district secretary of the United States Civil Service Commission, has been appointed confidential clerk to Harry Tarbell, coiner in the Denver mint. The jury in the case of Mrs. E. Pearl Ebert at Cripple Creek, who was charged with having murdered Mrs. Sarah Alt several weeks ago, brought in a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Enoch and Barbara Hipp, the father and mother of John Hipp of Denver, the prominent Color.do prohibition leader, celebrated their golden wedding at their son's home in Denver January 29th. The foreign missionary box in the Presbyterian church at Florence was robbed of $7, mostly in pennies, by an unknown thief. A hammer that had been used in breaking open the cabinet was left behind. In the case of Annie and Henry Watson vs. the Short Line Company Judge Seeds at Cripple Creek ordered judgment to issue, Annie Watson thereby receiving $3,000 and Henry Watson $1,215 and costs. L. A. Lane, proprietor of the Germania house at Longmont, committed suicide January 27th by shooting himself through the head. He was in the last stages of consumption and committed the act in a fit of despondency. President Roosevelt has sent a message to Congress urging the payment of a claim of $25,000 to William Radcliffe, a British subject, on account of the destruction by a mob of a fish hatchery in Colorado which was owned by Radcliffe. Albert Taylor, who tried to get a second pension under the name of Alonzo Nightingale, a dead comrade, was sentenced in the federal court at Denver to eighteen months at the Leavenworth prison. Insanity was pleaded in his defense. Charles, Copeland, brother of Prof. A. D. Copeland, superintendent of the Eaton schools, was instantly killed on the afternoon of January 29th in a runaway accident a short distance from his home in Pleasant Valley, six miles northeast of Greeley. F. W. Morrison, a prominent pioneer resident of Evans, was fatally injured in a runaway accident near Evans January 30th and died the same day. His team took fright at a train and overturned the carriage. He was seventy-one years of age. Despondency, caused by the feeling that he was hopelessly in the grasp of consumption, induced Arthur J. Howard to commit suicide in the Alta Vista hotel at Colorado Springs by shooting himself through the head. He leaves a widow and an eight-year-old son. The case against R. A. Bradley, Warren Russell, G. M. Williams and Dr. Jackson, prominent young men of Fort Collins, for shooting deer in the mountains near Livermore, was settled in the County Court by the defendants paying a fine of $525 for the killing of a deer. Mrs. Martha A. Hodges, widow of James L. Hodges, has been appointed by Governor McDonald secretary of the State Board of Arbitration. The place carries a salary of $1,200 a year. The appointment is to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Hodges, who died recently. The jury in the case of Joe Mattel at Trinidad returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. Mattel was accused of the murder of an old Mexican sheep herder near Segundo four years ago, this being the second time he was tried, the jury disagreeing at his former trial. The following Colorado postmasters have been appointed: Garnett, Costilla county, Charles Speiser, vice H. H. Bachell, resigned; Highland Lake, Weld county, Ceil E. Holmes, vice George Ritchey, resigned; Montezuma, Summit county, Eva S. Fairchild, vice E. Elgin, resigned. The heirs of the late Governor John Evans, whose interests are incorporated under the name of the Evans Investment Company, have donated two lots in Denver, valued at $3,200, for the site of a deaconess' home, to be erected by the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church. State Auditor A. E. Bent and Deputy State Commissioner of Insurance E. E. Rittenhouse have gone to Chicago to attend a meeting of insurance commissioners, attorney generals and governors, the object of which is to devise ways and means for securing more uniform insurance legislation for the country. Lying by the roadside between Silver Cliff and Westcliffe, unconscious from exposure, Donald Mitchell, the fifteen-year-old son of G. J. Mitchell of Silver Cliff, formerly foreman of the Geyser mine, was found about 9 o'clock Monday night. He was taken home and received every attention, but did not recover consciousness, dying in a few hours. Acting Governor Parks granted a conditional pardon to Anulfo Valazquez and Jose Martinez, who were sentenced to the Denver county jail December 11th, for vagrancy. On the application of A. J. Ortiz, Mexican consul, they were given their pardon, if they would return to the Republic of Mexico in accordance with the law in such cases. Miss Jessie Hess, daughter of Abraham Hess, former owner of the Mt. Vernon ranch, nine miles northwest of Golden, committed suicide at her room in Denver January 25th by cutting her throat. She was a girl of more than common ability and had many friends, having for several years made a business of preparing and selling books of pressed flowers. It is believed that her mind had become unbalanced. Patients have been issued to the following Coloradans: Frank D. Giddings, Fort Collins, water headgate; Henry W. Hildebrand, Denver, automatically operating fire extinguisher; Edwin T. Hughes, Gladstone, air brake; Ira G. Mitchell, Meeker, adjustable crank disk; Frank H. Paradice, Denver, system for sprinkling lawns gardens, greenhouses, parks, etc.; James A. Skinner, Denver, fed bag. CERTIFICATE OF PURITY DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT Kidney, Liver and Bladder CURE.

HADSEN LLP NOTARY PUBLISHER TERCOME.COM Insanity and Drunkenness. There is no question of the fact that insane asylums all over the world are to a great extent recruited from the class of hard drinkers, and from their offspring and descendants, says Pearson's Magazine. Twenty-one per cent. of the inmates now under restraint in the United States have an "alcoholic history". liquor being either the sole or a contributing cause of their misfortune. Paresis, which of late years has become so much more common, is a typical alcoholic brain disease, though not always attributable to drink. It is noticeably frequent among brokers and actors, who as a class, are much addicted to constant "nipping." It is said that, for a skilled pathologist, the effects produced by alcohol upon the brain of a "moderate" drinker are plainly visible under the microscope. FACIAL PARALYSIS Nervous Distortion of Face Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. What appears to be a slight nervous attack may be the forerunner of a severe disorder. No nervous sufferer should neglect the warning symptoms, but should see that the starved nerves are nourished before the injury to the delicate organism has gone to an extent that renders a cure a difficult matter. The nerves receive their nourishment through the blood, the same as every other part of the body, and the best nerve tonic and food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The experience of Mr. Harry Benis, of Truthville, Washington county, N. Y., substantiates this. "I had been feeling badly for a long time," said Mr. Bennis, "and in the early part of September, 1902, I was compelled to quit work on account of my ill health. My trouble was at first extreme nervousness, then my sight became affected and I consulted an oculist who said I was suffering from paralysis. He treated me for some time, but I got no benefit. I tried another doctor and again failed to obtain any relief. My nervousness increased. Slight noises would almost make me wilt. My mouth was drawn so I could scarcely eat and one eye was affected so I could hardly see. I had very little use of my limbs, in fact I was almost a complete wreck. "I am all right now and am at work. That is because I followed my wife's advice and took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She had used the same remedy herself with the most gratifying results and she persuaded me to try them when it appeared that the doctors were unable to help me. They acted very surely in my case; my face came back into shape and in time I was entirely well."

Desire for revenge on your part but injures you without adding to his punishment in the slightest degree. Forget it by deciding that in the future you will be less capable of being harmed but more worthy of a square deal. One half of the Negroes unhappiness comes from brooding over supposed wrongs but if rightly considered these self same wrongs prove to be blessings in disguise. That there is an established law of co-ordination between two forces that is eternal, is well known by every student of science and philosophy. That this law applies to things human as well as physical is also well understood. The recent action of the school board of Wichita, Kansas and the Supreme Court decision upholding the seperation of schools in Kansas City Kansas is evidence of the operation of the law of cause and effect. However much "The Plaindealer of Topeka or the Searchlight of Wichita may say against the infamy of this decision, it remains potent that the Negroes of Kansas are "reaping what they have sown." It is a dangerous proposition for colored people in a free state like Kansas to appeal to a legislature for funds to build and operate a separate school, "Industrial or otherwise" and get the money and then complain when the consequent resultant follows a separation of schools all along the line. While the Colorado STATESMAN eternally opposed to separate schools, yet it cannot help seeing that the colored people of Kansas are just now receiving what they have bargained for. A seperate school must inevitably follow a seperate school fund. This is consistent with logic, reason, law and common sense. While we sympathize with the Plaindealer and Searchlight and the people of Kansas in their contention yet we cannot help accepting the logic of the situation, for instance two weeks ago the Wichita Searchlight published a stinging rebuke on the action of their local school board in separating the children in the public schools and on the front page of the same issue of their paper printed the cut and three columns of laudation of the Great Negro University, which was built and is being supported by funds from the Public Treasury. It seems to us from a distance that the editor of the Searchlight is very short sighted not to discover that the colored people of Kansas have now gotten that for which they bargained.

Out in Westport lives a girl who recently took up the fad of collecting cigarettes. From each of her young men friends who smoked them she would beg a "coffin nail" and put it in a small box she kept on her dresser. One night the preacher called. The girl's father was smoking his pipe. "You smoke, don't you?" he asked of the minister. The latter replied in the affirmative. "I thought so," replied the girl's father. "I'm sorry I haven't any cigars to offer you. I have another pipe here—" It was at this point that the girl's little brother decided to help his father out. "Pop," he interrupted, "Sis has got a box of cigarettes upstairs in her room. Shall I git 'em for you?" Although badly confused the girl managed to explain. She has stopped collecting cigarettes.—Kansas City Times. COLORADO STATESMAN. S. H. HOBSON.....City Editor JOS. D. D. RIVERS.....Manager 1824 Curtis St. Room 25.

THOMAS DIXON LOOSE AGAIN Not satisfied with a company of performers producing his prejudice play "The Clansman" every night in the week to Southern audiences, Thomas Dixon himself is in the North and East haranging audiences to persuade the Negro to colonize outside of the United States or that a fearful race war will be the result. Thus the Negro is between two fires. The prophet of hell himself in one section of the country and his infernal imps (the players) at the other end. What is the Negro, who is being made the object of spectacular villiany, on the stage in the South and the subject of investigation, debate, criticism and prediction in the platform, in New York; to do? Simply this. Remain cool and dignified until the storm blows over. Refrain from unwise expressions and undue violence and trust our case in the hands of the great justice loving people of enlightened America and our cause in the hand of a Holy God. It is not the first time that we have seen fulfilled the quotation "whom the Gods would destroy they would first make mad." Now is the time we need another Sojourner Truth to speak as she did to the great Frederick Douglass, in his hour of deepest gloom "Frederick, God is not dead." As long as God lives the Negro need not be faint hearted. "Quit you like men." THE MEAN SPIRIT OF GETTING EVEN Last week this paper published an editorial on "Truthfulness" which we hope our readers considered. We want now to say a word on the subject "Getting Even." There is nothing elevating in spite work. The man who is always saying: "You watch me; I'll get even;" is a man who needs watching. Watch him closely and you will see him attempting to pay in some way the penalty of his grudge. But here is the real danger, so long as we harbor ill-feeling against another, we are harming ourselves more than our own worst enemy could injure us; while the chances are that the subject of our hatred is not inconvenienced or suffering at all. In declaring ourselves openly or secretly the enemy of another, we make ourselves our own enemy and invite on our own head that vengeance we would call down upon the other. Forget the injury done you, the one that injured you if it was a real injustice will pay for it soon enough and his penalty for the CAUSE AND EFFECT. Colonist Tickets.

RAILROAD MAN WITH RECORD HIDDEN WEALTH OF INDIA THE GIRL FROM SMITH LIGHTNING AND NO CLOUD Not long ago I enjoyed the privilege of admittance to some homes of Salem containing rare pieces of historic furniture, each replete with history dear to the heart of the lover of tradition, writes Grace B. Faxon in the Pilgrim. Perhaps the finest collection of antiques in America is gathered under the rooftree of Charles F. Waters, who lives in Washington square, and among them all stands forth a chair, which, because of real beauty, commands admiration. It is elaborately and handsomely carved, and to it belongs, possibly, the oddest history of any piece of furniture in Salem. It seems that one John Cogswell came over here from the mother country in 1625, crossing the ocean in the good ship Angel Gabriel, which was the same craft that brought Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana, South America, in 1618, on his second and last voyage. John Cogswell embarked with his wife, eight children and household goods—among the last this chair—for settlement in this country. A frightful storm off the coast of Maine, where by mistake they had drifted, caused a total wreck of the vessel. Mr. Cogswell and family, and what furniture there was preserved, were carried to the shore at Pemquid, Me., where the family spread a tent and remained until the next week. They then took Enoch Bown, tall, stalwart and healthy, carrying upon his shoulders the weight of 79 years, holds the undisputed distinction of being the oldest locomotive engineer in the world. He lives at Amagaria, Ont., a settlement a few steps from Bridgeburg. Enoch Bown is an Englishman by birth. His native town is Lancashire, England, three miles from Manchester. He was born Oct. 14, 1826. In those days railroads were scorned by many people. Enoch Bown was only 14 years old when he began railroading. He secured a position as helper on the old London & Birmingham, now the Northwestern railway. He worked at plate laying. Nowadays they call it section building. When 17 years old he quit and began serving an apprenticeship to a mechanic and in 1847 became a fireman on the road which first gave him employment. Soon he gained experience and the confidence of the managers and was appointed engineer. Enoch Bown knows all about running a locomotive using wood blocks for fuel. It was hard and troublesome work in those days. It would be an immense benefit to all mankind if the stores of gold now held by individuals in India could be made available for general use. Ever since the dawn of history that country has been gathering and hiding it away. Treasures of almost incalculable value are possessed by many Indian princes, says Spare Moments. When the maharajah of Burdeward died the stock of gold and silver left by him was so large that no member of the family could make an accurate estimate of it. A report made to the British government by a secret agent stated that on the estate of the defunct potentate were a number of treasure houses, one of them containing three rooms. The largest of these three rooms was forty-eight feet long and was filled with ornaments of gold and silver, plates and cups, washing bowls, jugs and so forth—all of precious metals. The two other rooms were full of bags and boxes of gold mohurs and silver rupees. The door of this and other treasure houses had been bricked up for nobody knows how long. With sunbeams tangled in her hair and laughter in her eye; She used to say her prayers each night, when kneeling at my knee. She was the sunbeam, in those days, that brightened all our flat. I used to hear her little feet come patt'r-ing o'er the floor. She sat on the cot, got and sat. To hunt the old gray pussy cat, and stop beside the door. I used to meet her "hubband," and her "chilun," one and all— And she needed my assistance, which I freely gave, of course. Then she married "Mitter Curtis," and she a fourteen every day. On a ranch outside of kitchen chairs, to "Filidela." Beside her little table, oft, I've with her "family" sat It frequently happens that during severe storms the wires of the different public service corporations, such as electric light, electric street railway, telephone and telegraph companies, become entangled at different points, and consequently the wires utilized for carrying but light currents become charged with the much heavier and dangerous currents. To this condition serious accidents are sometimes due; again, ludicrous conditions arise where no particular harm is done, except to the feelings of the participants. Some years ago such a storm swept over the territory between Boston and Portland, Me., and, after some hours of duration had mixed matters generally. The following day was bright and clear, and the work of passage to Boston and settled at Ipswich, Mass. This chair descended in the family until it came to Mr. Waters, the present owner. Once upon a time there lived in Salem a merchant of great wealth and renown, a Mr. Joshua Ward. Gen George Washington, during a visit to Salem, spent a night at the home of Mr. Ward, and spent in the northeast chamber of the fine, brick house. Among the furnishing of his room were several beautiful Hepplewhite chairs. One of these chairs—said be the chair in which Washington sat to record his impressions of Salem in his diary—is now treasured in one of the city's noted homes. It was while on this visit that Washington wrote of the women of Salem: "I have seen at least 100 handsome and well-dressed ladies, a greater portion of them having much blacker hair than is seen in the south." In the home of Daniel Low, in Essex street, the old cabinet house, where Mrs. Joseph J. Chamberlain made her home as Miss Endicott, stands a Dutch chair of bandy legs and beautiful proportions. This chair is more than 250 years old, and has descended from the first Low in America, who settled at Essex, Mass., and among whose descendants is ex-Mayor Seth Low of New York, to the present owner. In 1857, with seven years' successful experience as an engineer, then 28 years old, Enoch Bown was seized with the desire to cross the Atlantic, so he moved to Canada, immediately securing an appointment as engineer on the old Great Western. He rbetween Niagara Falls, London and Windsor. He also engineered on the Buffalo & Lake Huron. These lines have since been improved and acquired by the Grand Trunk. His familiarity with the iron steeds which had been his life's companions brought about his appointment in 1872 as foreman of engines of the Grand Trunk lines. He held this position for a quarter of a century and found himself 71 years old and ready for retirement. He decided to work some more, and was soon picked up to operate the dummy car on the International bridge. For eight years this fine-looking and gray-whiskered engineer was daily-seen at his post, but Jan. 1 last he closed his labors, and now lives a quiet life among his friends and neighbors in the passive hamlet of antiquated Amagaria.—Buffalo Enquirer. These valuables, according to an ancient custom, were in the custody of the maharajah's wife, the vaults being attached to her apartments, but none of them was allowed to be opened save in the presence of the master. One vault was filled with ornaments belonging to different gods of the family. The natives of India commonly bury their hoards and among the poorer classes a favorite hiding place is a hole dug beneath the bed. Disused wells are sometimes employed for the same purpose. It is undoubtedly a fact that many hoards thus deposited are lost forever. Gold is also valued on religious grounds. The gods take up great quantities of gold, silver and precious stones. The temples contain vast amounts of the yellow and white metals. The habit of hoarding seems to have been induced by ages of misgovernment, during which oppression and violence were rife. No feeling of safety existing, it was natural that the natives should adopt the practice of reducing their wealth to a concentrated shape and hiding it.

The grand opening held in the new reception hall of the Meeca Cafe last Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 12 midnight, was among the week's best attractions, in fact, from an enjoyable standpoint the affair cannot be surpassed. An orchestra furnished music for the occasion and the new floor made dancing a real pleasure. The reception hall was very beautifully decorated, the walls being donned with mirrors and pictures, while to the left of the orchestra stand is a little cosy corner fitted out with plush upholstered settees and chairs together with fine silk sofa pillows. The main dining room of the cafe always presents an admiring appearance and there is nothing in the West to compete --- with it. The fascinating scene of the $500.00 buffet with its cut-glass decorations is indeed worth the observation of of the most fastidious eye. Messrs Lacy & Scott, the enterprising proprietors, are determined to lead in making things pleasant and convenient for their patrons.

The brown boys will include all shades from a "teasing brown" to and including a mulatto, while the shade of the blacks will not go lighter than a chocolate color. At the black boys' entertainment the browns will not be permitted to the ball floor until 12 o'clock but will be permitted to the gallery at any hour. The browns will enforce the same rule. The females will have excess to all privileges. J. D. Garner, the promoter of the novel affair is president of the black gang, with Wm. E.

Porter to be head bar tender at the Democratic club, where he has been employed for the past three years. While this is a political organization and would naturally open places for political favorites yet so much respect was due Mr. Porter, and so much is his word and character relied upon that he was chosen above a large number of white aspirants that would have been glad to secure this place. Mr. Henry Hinkle was selected as second bar tender. Here is evidence that truthfulness and honesty will win. The COLORADO STATESMAN believes in giving sound advice to the race and in demonstrating that merit and truth wins. Success to you Messrs. Porter and Hinkle.

So much has been printed lately about postage stamp collecting, and the enormous rise in value of money of these, that I take it a word or two from an old stamp collector will not be amiss. In the first place, age plays a very important part in the value of a postage stamp, but not always. It is not the length of years that have intervened since its issue which makes it valuable, but the amount or number of a certain kind in existence. Some stamps printed forty years ago are not worth 10 cents a thousand, simply because the government used that special type for an extended number of years and they are very plentiful. Again, on the contrary, some issued only recently comparatively, are worth a great deal because only a few were printed. Sometimes a die is broken, necessitating the making of a new one, and as no human hand can counterfeit so adroitly but what changes will appear in the finished product different from the first, it makes or constitutes a different type. Again, for some reason or other, governments often change a whole series after being in use only a few months. Now all this is learned only by study and time, but all stamp collectors soon learn these things. It is surprising but true, that some of the brightest stamp dealers are mere boys or girls, or clerks who take this up as a side issue, often making a living by it. But this article is written with especial view to pointing out some of the many ways in which porters and others may make a few dollars extra and at the same time be of some use to stamp collectors. Those having charge of big blocks and buildings are often called upon to clean out offices, to gather up waste paper and to dispose of the contents of waste paper baskets. As a rule no attention is paid to this rubbish other than to cart it off and burn it up. But we Americans are a wasteful, extravagant people. What an American family throws out of the kitchen window, it is said, would keep a French family. And so it is in every department of life. In Germany everything is saved. Bits of string, bottles, the corks, the foil around the necks of wine bottles, even the labels, all is put to use, and made to pay a revenue! Is it any wonder, then, that the Germans are all postage stamp collectors? A short time ago in Berlin an American repaired to a bank there to get a very valuable package. It had been registered and being full of stocks and bonds the postage was nearly $2. Several high-priced postage stamps were cancelled on the outside. The American ripped open the envelope and threw it in the waste basket. The banker, a millionaire, stooped down and picked up the wrapper. "Pardon me, you do not want this?" he said. "Oh, no," said the American, "that's no good." But to the thrifty German it was worth 40 cents at least. So, then, I say do not destroy envelopes having stamps on them of a higher value than 10 cents. Of course often we see a dozen or more of the common 2-cent red stamps used. These are of course no value. But any stamp of a higher denomination than 10 cents has a distinct value and is worth saving. A few years ago a couple of porters in Louisville, Kentucky, were told to take down a lot of rubbish and burn it in the furnace. The house was an old one and had done business with a St. Louis firm away in '45. All the correspondence had been saved by this firm, and now they were cleaning house and everything was being thrown out. While throwing bundles of letters in the furnace they stopped for a moment to look at the green stamps. The design was that of a coat of arms with two bears standing up, one on each side. They took one to a stamp dealer in Louisville, who promptly gave them $5 for it, saying he would take all he could get at that price. They were on their guard, and went to another dealer who gave them $15 for one. By this time it got noised about town and them sold them for $25 to $50 apiece. Oh, if they had only known! In the next few days dealers came from St. Louis, New York and Boston, paying hundreds of dollars apiece. How many were burned up no one knows. The prices to-day for the 5-cent St. Louis is $150; for the 10-cent, $200; while the 20-cent value has sold for $3,000. Of course it was exceptional, but had these porters known just a little of postage stamps, a fortune was in their hands. In New York and all large eastern cities porters are educated up to this. Big mercantile houses, banks, but the..throw these things away, but the porters and janitors know just what they are worth to them. "Soon there will be no stamp," is the prediction of some. Even now newspapers and periodicals pay by money. The departments no longer use their special stamps. And to-day if any one has 2,000 identical pieces of mail he does not need to buy stamps; instead, he simply prints on them "Paid in money," he pays the money to the cashier, and the matter goes through the mails as if stamped. That's the way they did before stamps were invented, and now they are getting back to first principles because the amount of business done is so great. This method saves time and trouble of buying stamps, affixing and cancelling them. These "permits," as they are called, should also be saved; they are being collected just the same as stamps. Be careful to save the whole envelope or wrapper, entire. We again remind you of your indebtedness for this paper. Don't neglect the important duty of paying up.

THREE MEN SUFFOCATED Tons of High Explosives on Board—Only Heroic Work Prevents Enormous Loss of Life—Fifty-Eight Badly Injured. San Francisco.—Three dead and fifty-eight injured, mostly of suffocation, is the record of a fire that raged upon the United States, transport Meade as she lay at the Folsom street dock early Thursday morning. The dead: Captain Charles Dakin of San Francisco, fire engine company No. 4; fell unconscious into the water of the hold and was drowned. Leaves a wife and son. Hoseman Thomas Hennessey of engine company No. 2; suffocated to death while fighting the fire in the hold. Leaves a wife and three children. Third Officer George Wallace of the transport Meade; suffocated while climbing a ladder from the hold and fell back unconscious, dying a short time later. Was twenty-five years of age and a native of Sydney, New South Wales. The injured all suffered terribly from suffocation. For three hours after midnight the forward hold of the big troopship was a roaring furnace from which firemen were borne in an almost continuous stream. Relays of men promptly stepped forward to take the places of those who were carried out unconscious. Tons of high explosives were loaded in the after part of the vessel and the heroic fire laddies worked with the possibility ever before them that the flames would reach this compartment. Had this occurred the whole city would undoubtedly have been shaken by a terrific explosion, and no man aboard the ship would have escaped. Deeds of thrilling heroism marked the fire. Sailing Master George Wilson of the Meade fell down a hatchway and lay crippled and unconscious with an injured shoulder. Chief Officer Lassack and others of the crew threw themselves down into the hold and managed to struggle back out of the pit of death, bearing the body of the master, who was borne to a berth out of reach of the flames and there attended to. Lassack was himself attended to and was rescued from death by Joseph Cook of Truck No. 1, and an unknown man, both of whom took their lives in their hands. The fore part of the ship, where the fire broke out, contained the personal effects of the officers of the Second infantry, late from Fort Logan, Colorado, and of the Eighth and Thirteenth batteries of light artillery, and the loss of property was confined to this part of the vessel. Eighty-five thousand dollars in gold, being carried as military treasure to Manila, was rescued from the ship and guarded by soldiers. Lines of soldiers also guarded the entrance to the dock. Captain Dakin lost his life because of his unfinching resolution and dauntless courage in fighting the fire. The body was found at the foot of a ladder and carried out. General Assassinated. Tifis, Caucasia.—The murder Monday of General Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, was most dramatic and audacious. The assassin was concealed behind a wall at the entrance to the palace where a carriage was drawn up to take the general for his daily drive. As the general stepped into the carriage the men sprang on the wall, swung the can by a cord and the bomb, as if thrown from a sling, with marvelous precision speed straight to the mark and struck the general on the neck. A flash of fire and a terrific explosion followed, and Griaznoff was literally brown out of the carriage, and with his coachman, Cossaack orderly and the latter's horse, was instantly killed. A lady who was passing at the time of the explosion was mortally wounded. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Officers Selected Represent Fruit- Growing Sections. Denver.—Election of officers occupied the attention of delegates of the Colorado State Horticultural Society at the closing session of the convention Thursday afternoon. In choosing those who will direct the affairs of the organization during the ensuing year it was aimed to have represented the different fruit-growing sections of the state, and the officers chosen will cover the territory better than ever before. The election resulted as follows: President, J. H. Crowley, Rocky Ford; vice president, R. A. Orr, Grand Junction; secretary, G. H. Salle; assistant secretary, E. B. Coggeshall, Denver; treasurer, Mrs. Lute Wilcox, Denver; executive committee, J. S. Oliver, Paonia; E. D. Smith, Masonville; J. S. McClelland, Fort Collins. The reading of many interesting papers marked the proceedings of the closing day. A lengthy talk on "The Best varieties of Apples, Pears, Cherries, Plums, Peaches, Nuts," was made by J. S. McClelland of Fort Collins. "Practical Demonstrations in Spraying" were explained by W. S. Haswell of Denver. The first paper of the afternoon was on "The Commercial Side of Fruit Growing," by O. D. Shields of Loveland. Eugene D. Smith of Masonville discussed the "Growing of Cherries Profitably." Prof. C. P. Gillette of Fort Collins spoke regarding "Work and Observations," and H. B. King of Pueblo imparted valuable information concerning "Packing and Marketing Commercial Fruit." ```markdown ``` Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

WANT NEW SHIPPING LAW Senator Warren Re-elected President —Important Resolutions Passed— Will Have.Paid Secretary. Denver.—It is expected that a war between the railroads and stockmen, backed by the National Humane Society, will be precipitated in Congress by the action of the National Wool Growers' Association in passing a resi- solution yesterday favoring the creation of a federal law, compelling railroads to haul live stock at a minimum rate of sixteen miles an hour under the twenty-eight-hour law proposed to be changed. The association claims to have the backing of the National Humane Society and will send a special delega- tion to Washington to lobby for the bill. Congress was asked by resolution to raise the annual appropriation of the bureau of animal industry from $25, 000 to $250,000 and to pay the bureau's deficiency for last year. E. S. Gozney of Arizona, Fred Gooding of Idaho and Sol Luna of New Mexico were appointed a committee to meet the twenty-eight-hour law committee of the American National Live Stock Association to-day and confer on a joint plan of campaign against the twenty-eight-hour law. The Bureau of Animal Protection will establish an experiment station in Wyoming to develop an ideal range sheep. It has completely exterminated "scab" in Wyoming and will go after other states. Senator Francis E. Warren, who is working in support of all propositions of the sheepmen and has charge of the matters, was again elected unanimously president of the National Woot Growers' Association. Wyoming carried off the honors of the convention, getting the vice president for the West, in Dr. J. M. Wilson, chairman of the Wyoming State Sheep Commission, and the secretaryship in George S. Walker, secretary of the sheep commission. Mortimer Levering of Chicago was elected vice president for the East and A. J. Knollin of Chicago was re-elected treasurer. The executive committee decided to pay the secretary a salary of $1,000 a year. The officers have heretofore served without pay, and whenever money has been needed it was raised by subscription. The executive committee was elected as follows, the first names from each state or territory being committeemen, the second alternates: Arizona, E. S. Gozney, E. J. Sawyer, California, J. A. Jastro, Louis V. Oleese, Colorado, Donald McIntosh, E. G. Scott; Idaho, Fred Gooding, P. G. Johnson; Illinois, Mortimer Levering; Indiana, W. W. Burch; Montana, T. C.

Denver.—To devise means of improving the quality of their stock formed the principal topic of discussion at the State Bee Keepers' convention, which opened its convention at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning. About 100 of the leading bee keepers of Colorado were in attendance. Acting President M. A. McGill presided. In contrast with the general report of last year's meeting, when it was shown that the honey crop was the biggest recorded in many years, the yield in the last year has been almost a failure throughout the state. It was feared several months ago that the bees would not live throughout the year, but with the favorable weather bee keepers agree that they have had few losses so far, and if no severe climatic conditions are encountered in the next two months, they believe their stock will survive until June. At present, however, they have not sufficient honey to live on, and most keepers have been obliged to give them other feed. One of the strongest points urged was the necessity of raising a superior kind of bee. At the session Wednesday numerous papers treating on the various methods of the proper maintenance of the bee and the hive were read and discussed. The different subjects were taken up separately, and this session was of greater interest to the delegates than any of the others. General discussions resulted in the disclosure of important information concerning the industry. The following officers were elected: President, W. P. Collins, Boulder; vice president, Frank Rauchfuss, Denver; secretary, G. Tomlin, Fort Collins; treasurer, Mrs. R. A. Rhodes, Platteville. The committees were formed as follows: Executive, Oliver Foster; legislative, Frank Rauchfuss, V. Devinny, M. A. Gill; program, R. A. Rhodes, N. T. Henthorne; exhibits, Frank Rauchfuss, F. Drexel, Harry McCombs, W. L. Francis. Schmidlap Jurors Discharged. Denver.—The second trial of Mrs. Helen Schmidtlap for the murder of her husband received another setback Tuesday when Judge Carpenter set aside the entire special venire of 100 summoned for jurors because it was found to be improperly drawn. The illegality of the panel was brought to the notice of the court by O. N. Hilton, attorney for the defense, directly after the morning session opened. He declared that the names of the jurors had not all been drawn by the clerk in accordance with the law, but that one half of them had been taken from the box by a deputy sheriff.

Georgetown and Silver Plume Rejoice in New Railroad. Denver. — A Georgetown dispatch says: The Argentine Central railroad, which has been in course of construction for the last four months, is a reality. The golden spike was driven at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the presence of the promoter, Rev. E. J. Wilcox, Superintendent C. O. Tingle of the Waldorf Mining Company, prominent citizens of Silver Plume and the entire working force of the Wilcox tunnel. The spike was driven where the road now ends, near the portal of the Wilcox tunnel, by James Hannahnaz, assisted by William Dunning, master mechanic of the road. The ceremonies were impressive and congratulations were showered upon Mr. Wilcox by the enthusiastic but small audience. Superintendent Tingle, as soon as the spike had been driven, broke a bottle or aqua pura and a mighty shout was given by the many miners and others who were present. No sooner had the echoes died away than Mr. Tingle, in a speech befitting the occasion, proceeded to christen the new town of Wilcox. Lots will be platted out and houses erected by the miners of East Argentine. The first train for passengers will be run over the line to-morrow morning. The road will provide cheap transportation facilities for many mines needing them. Early in the spring the road will be extended to Argentine pass, a distance of four miles. Here the tourist will be given the opportunity of visiting the natural ice palace, a beautiful formation of crystallized ice. In appearance the walls resemble a long hall, the walls of which are draped with the finest of lace. Patterson Endorses Roosevelt. Washington—In the Senate Wednesday Mr. Patterson strongly indorsed the position of the President in Santo Domingo and in the matter of the Moroccan conference. He said that he was sorry to differ from his Democratic colleagues, but that he felt it his duty to do so in these matters. He also expressed absolute confidence in the patriotism of the President and in his good faith in announcing his determination not again to be a candidate for the presidency. Speaking of the Domingan question, he said that it involved the Monroe doctrine and that there was no occasion for division of party lines on that question. He said that he confessed to a very friendly feeling toward the President, due to the record he had made as a statesman and citizen and as the first magistrate of the Republic. Much, however, as he liked the President, he felt impelled to differ from him on many questions. Regardless, however, of these differences, he believed the President to be honest and patriotic in all things. Not only had the President done much to annihilate sectional prejudices, but he had done many things to commend him to Democrats. Fort Collins Sugar Season Closes. Denver. — A Republican special from Fort Collins says: A long blast on the sugar factory whistle at 4:15 Tuesday afternoon gave notice that the last of the sugar beets had been run through the slicers and that the sugarmaking campaign of 1905 had drawn to a close after a run of 117 days. It will take several days, however, to work up the juices on hand into sugar, but the beet slicing work is over and a large number of employees have been discharged. Since October 4th the factory has worked up 120,000 tons of beets of its own and several thousand tons for the Sterling factory, which was late in getting started and found itself overloaded with beets. The product of the season's campaign will exceed 50,000-000 pounds of refined granulated sugar. Animas Canon Snowslides. Denver.—A Durango special to the Republican says: George N. Raymond, editor of the Durango Herald, has visited the Animas canon and says that during a residence either in Silverton or Durango since 1881, he has never witnessed the equal of the present snowslides, with the possible exception of the winter of 1884, during which time the road to Silverton was blocked for ninety days. He says that all the snow has slipped down from the sides of the mountain and that if there is as much snow during the next two or three months as may be expected, that the winter of 1884 will be outdone. In case storms follow each other weekly, the road must be closed the greater part of the time, no matter if 1,000 men are on hand to shovel. With such a situation in view, merchants of Silverton and especially coal dealers, are urged to have large quantities or supplies and coal ready for shipment the minute the track is cleared. The Rio Grande management will be asked to bring in additional motive power from other divisions and rush through the supplies to provide against storm contingencies. General Assassinated. Tiflis, Caucasia.—The murder Monday of General Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, was most dramatic and audacious. The assassin was concealed behind a wall at the entrance to the palace where a carriage was drawn up to take the general for his daily drive. As the general stepped into the carriage the men sprang on the wall, swung the can by a cord and the bomb, as if thrown from a sling, with marvelous precision sped straight to the mark and struck the general on the neck. A flash of fire and a terrific explosion followed, and Griaznoff was literally brown out of the carriage, and with his coachman, Cossack orderly and the latter's borse, was instantly killed. A lady who was passing at the time of the explosion was mortally wounded. The Market Co. 1633-35-37-39 Arapahoe Street.

Abbott, an order restraining her from visiting his office and the steamship piers, and, in loud voice, demanding money. Abbott is employed as a ticket agent by the Pennsylvania railroad. He alleges that because of his wife's conduct, he had been warned by the railroad officials that he would be dismissed if he did not keep her away. Reclaiming the Sah...a. As a result of recent scientific investigations it may be possible to revise our ideas of the barrenness of the Sahara Desert, since it has been found by boring that there are numerous springs which rise to the surface and make possible a system of irrigation. In the territory to the south of Algeria a government irrigation survey has been at work making a series of deep test borings, some of which are as deep 2,000 feet. In this way considerable water has been encountered, and in certain cases already twice the usual amount of water has been made available for the palm groves.—Harper's Weekly.

DOCTOR CURED OF ECZEMA. Maryland Physician Cures Himself—Dr. Fisher Says: "Cuticura Remedies Possess True Merit." "My face was afflicted with eczema in the year 1897. I used the Cuticura Remedies, and was entirely cured. I am a practicing physician, and very often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and they have cured where other formulas have failed. I am not in the habit of endorsing patent medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Remedies do, I am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world. I have been practicing medicine for sixteen years, and must say I find your Remedies A No. 1. You are at liberty to publish this letter. G. M. Fisher, M. D., Big Pool, Md., May 24, 1905." Too many people mistake dignity for wisdom. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to treat Deafness is caused by an inattentional restraint. Deafness is caused by an inattentional restraint of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or inattentional restraint. The inattentional restraint is the result, and unless the inattentional can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nausea cases may occur. Deafness can be treated but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one has to take the maker's say-so alone as to their curative value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested hands. It is not that the maker ever, form a single and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say-so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in the medical ediculation journal. Several ingredients entering into these well-known medicines. Amongst these writers we find such medical lights as Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D. Bennett, medical ediculation, M. C. Schudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof. Grover Coe, of New York; Dr. Bartholomew Coe, of Pa. and scores of others equally eminent. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the worst cases of female weakness, prolapse, anteversion and retroversion and corrects the disgraceable and weakening drains, sometimes known as pelvic catarraph and a multitude of other diseases peculiar to women. In mind, it is not a patient's even secret disease. Even a "prescription" of a regularly educated physician, of large experience in the cure of woman's peculiar ailments, who frankly and confidently through drunkists, can it be said that the patient is frankly, openly and honorably, by letting every patient using the same know exactly what she is taking.

Fear among Chicago University officials that Prof. Frederick Starr, the noted anthropologist, had been eaten by African cannibals whom he was attempting to study, has been relieved by the receipt of a letter from him written on the Kasai river steamer and mailed at Leopoldville, which is about 1,200 miles from the sea.

GARDNER AGAIN PROMOTED General Manager of the Northwestern Is Made a Vice-President. Announcement has been made today of the promotion of General Manager William A. Gardner of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad to be a vice-president of the road. This is another chapter in the steady rise of Mr. Gardner since he first entered the service of that road in 1878 as a telegrapher. Other changes have been made among the vice-presidents of the road, who are now four in number, and each has charge of a certain department of the administration of the road's affairs. According to the slate posted they are as follows: Hiram R. McCullough, in charge of freight passenger traffic; William A. Gardner, in charge of the operation and maintenance of the railway of the company and of its proprietary railways; Marshall M. Kirkman, in charge of receipts and disbursements, and John M. Whitman, in charge of location and construction of new lines. William A. Gardner was born in Gardner, Ill., March 8, 1859. Since 1878 he has held many positions with the road, until Dec. 1, 1900, when he was appointed general manager. He is a director of the Western Trust and Savings bank, a republican in politics and a member of the Union League, the Chicago Athletic, Evanson Country, Evanson, Glen View, and Hamilton clubs. HIS DOG'S DEVOTION. Master Goes From Colorado to Virginia for His Canine Friend. For weeks, "Sheep," a blooded Scotch collie dog, waited at a lonely station in Augusta county, Virginia, for the return of his absent master. The master, C. F. Dorlan of 1048 West Eighth avenue, Denver, when he heard that his devoted pet was homeless, took a railroad trip to Virginia to get possession of the dog and bring him to Colorado. The two have never been separated since. Mr. Dorlan was at the Union depat last night, says the Denver Republican, waiting for a train to take him to South Platte, Nebraska, where he is to do some contract work for the Union Pacific railroad. With him, was the dog, "Sheep." "I left Augusta county, Virginia, where I had a farm several months ago. I gave 'Shep' to a neighbor, believing that he would be better off than with me. Shortly after I left he broke his chain and returned to my farm, which was in the hands of strangers. He took up the scent at the farm and followed my footsteps to the railroad station. There he waited for me for three weeks, taking but little nourishment. "The station agent, knowing the dog and knowing me, wrote to me, describing the dog's actions, about the end of the second week. I immediately left Year 1905 Sales. The total distributive sales for 1905 exceeded $200,000,000. This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit. The industry is operated on a margin of less than 2 cents to each dollar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughterers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages. The large packing houses will, however, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief live stock centers, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste material; refrigeration; mechanical appliances; highly efficient business management. These advantages are reflected in the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift." Purchasing Live Stock. The principal live stock centers are Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. SYRUP OF FIGS To sweeten, To refresh, To cleanse the system, Effectually and Gently; Dispels colds and headaches when bilious or constipated; For men, women and children; There is only one Genuine Syrup of Figs; to get its bene- ficial effects Acts best on the kidneys and liver, stomach and bowels; Always buy the genuine—Manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

The same methods of purchasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company. The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commission firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. All buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client. Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the insides being lined—floor, walls and ceiling—with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered dally with fresh sawdust, and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses in various cities of the United States, and the public is always welcome to visit them. Packing Plants. All the Swift & Company plants are located at the great live stock markets, in the heart of the great agricultural sections, where can be purchased the finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs. We have seven packing plants, employing at each from two to eight thousand persons. The following gives the locations and sizes of the different plants: old farm.

Sanitation and Hygiene. The housewife makes no greater effort to keep her kitchen clean than we do to keep in sanitary and hygienic condition our abattoirs. They are thoroughly scrubbed at the close of each day's operations, and automatic appliances are used wherever possible in order to eliminate the personal handling of meats. Rigid rules governing these points are strictly enforced; laxity means dismissal. Visitors Always Welcome. No other industry in the world gives such a cordial welcome to visitors as Swift & Co. We keep open house the year around, and maintain a corps of specially trained guides, with special elevators and rest rooms.
