DUNBAR DEAD Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the World's Greatest and Most Famous Negro Poet is No More--His Life Sketch. Denver Post Pays High Tribute. VOL. XII. DUNBAR Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Famous Negro Poet is No Denver Post Pay Dayton, O., Feb. 9.—Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Negro poet, died at his home here this afternoon of consumption. For three years he had been seriously ill and for a year critically ill, but he kept at his work intermittently and wrote his last poem for his Christmas book, "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy," just before Christmas. Mr. Dunbar was born in Dayton June 27, 1872, and was first a newsboy and then an elevator boy and in his ups and downs for a living practiced writing. His first poem was written when he was written for the Steele high school in 1891. His first of a total of 21 books was "Oak and Ivy." His poem best known was "When Malindy Sings," which was written to his mother, whose name is Malinda. Mr. Dunbar is survived by his mother, his wife and two half brothers, who reside in Chicago. He will be buried in Woodland cemetary, this city, next week, many persons of note being expected to attend. The deceased was the first poet to arise out of the African race in America, and his status among the literary men of the East is more than a sufficient answer to the argument of the ignorant bigot who is ever pertering the world with queries as to "what we shall do with the race question?" Paul Dunbar's books and poetry will tell if he consults them—the question will settle itself if he will only let the Negro enjoy the opportunities opened up to him by the abolition of slavery in the United States. He was born 34 years ago in Dayton, O., and was educated in the public schools of that town. Thirteen years ago he was an elevator boy in a big building in Dayton and, like most of his race, he seemed to be marked for a life of uneventful toil. Yet, since that time he published many books, contributed to the best magazines and newspapers, established solid reputation and recited his verses to many audiences of the highest culture. At 25, with the encouraging plaudits of his first success ringing in his ears he went abroad for new conquests. In England Mr. Dunbar was received by the most highly cultured and aristocratic people in the land, because --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATR RAC ORAD THE JOURNAL R DEAD World's Greatest and Most More--His Life Sketch. s High Tribute. he had genius—the key that unlocks all doors that bar the way to fashionable or cultivated society abroad. The love of rhythm that characterizes the Negro manifested itself early in young Dunbar. Like Pope, he listed in numbers. His father died when Paul was a lad of 12, and the future poet contributed the support of his widowed mother and his brothers and sisters with what he earned as a newsboy. Between times he mowed lawns, ran upon errands, was faithful, kind and gentle. His first verses, childish, it is true, but of good promise, were written on the flyleaf of an old spelling book, and were titled "An Easter Hymn." At 14, he had already broken into print, and a few of his poems and short stories had been published in the Dayton Herald and in other local newspapers. His small successes gratified his mother beyond expression. She believed that her son had a great future in store for him, and encouraged by her, he wrote a story in Western dialect which he called "The Tenderfoot". The story was copied widely. It was the first literary production of its kind to be published from the pen of a Negro. Many other stories were sold by Dunbar, and the way begun to grow brighter for the struggling author, Dunbar attracted the attention of Frederick Douglass and the colored statesman looked, him up. By this time the public began to become interested in the personality of the young Ohoian and his future was assured. He secured admission to the highest literary circles everywhere and became a popular lecturer, while his revenue from his writings steadily increased. HIS SONG OF DEATH. Storm and strife and stress. Lost in a wilderness Groping to find a way Forth to the haunts of day. Sudden a vista peeps Out of the tangled peeps; Only a point—the ray But at the end is day. Dark is the dawn and chill, Daylight is on the hill, Night is the flitting breath. Day rides the hills of death. WHAT THE POST SAYS OF HIM. Paul Dunbar is dead. Paul Dunbar was as black as a coal and his mother couldn't write DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906. her own name. He began to earn his own living when he was 11 or 12 years old. He began as a bootblack, and then graduated into an elevator boy in a Middle West city. One day he sat in the corner of his elevator, when the office building was closed, and wrote a piece of verse. The next day he read the verse to a man who had an office in the building and who took a kindly interest in the black boy. The man told the black that the verse he had written was good, spoke to someone else about it, and finally, in some roundabout way or other, it was published. It was not very long before someone else was running the elevator, and Dunbar, the black boy, was writing poems and songs and stories for a living—and making a good living, too. His poems were published in the best magazines in America. He went abroad and titled men and women made a great fuss over him. He wrote songs and librettos and he sang and told stories and laughed and was sick and suffered after the manner of his race, and then he went home to his mother and died—still a young man. Black as ever, and as simple hearted and kindly and simple mannered as he was the day he sat in the elevator and wrote his verses on a torn scrap of paper with an old stub of a pencil. Who is there who dares, in the face of such evidence as this, to say: "I would have been someone if I had had a chance." What chance did that black boy have the chance he made for himself? What chance do you want, young man, with the red blood of the great white race leaping in your joyous veins. You are no prisoner within the cruel jail of color and of race. The best in the world is none too good for you if your hands are strong enough to grasp it. What chance do you need—but the chance you make for yourself? If you cannot make the chance, be content. The grass does not grow as high as the pine tree, but the world needs the grass, just as much as it needs the forest. Smile at the world serenely, and say, "I have never had much ability, but I've done the best I could," and you won't need anyone's pity. But don't lay the blame of your humble lot in life and the humble achievement you are modest enough to make, on chance. You were not at home when chance knocked at your door, or, if you were at home when chance knocked at your door, or, if not at home you were asleep, and did not answer. Paul Laurence Dunbar, the black elevator boy, heard chance slipping by in the night and he ran out into the cold and the dark and caught him, and chance turned and smiled at the black boy. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. With a quartet on the scaffold singing "Jesus Lover of My Soul," William W. Hamilton, colored, was hanged February 2nd at the district jail in Washington as the penalty for murdering his common law wife, June 20, 1904. He had been confined in the cell occupied by Guiteau, assassin of President Garfield, and was executed on the same scaffold on which Guiteau paid the penalty for his crime. There are a class of Negroes in this city who profess to be intelligent, cultured, proud and all that, who go to the Jim Crow theatre, through great tribulations. They go in through a back alley and come out through the same. In addition to this humiliation they occupy the highest seat in buzzard roost section and count themselves happy in such disgraceful posture. The time is coming and now is when the truly self-respecting Negro will be forced to lose respect for the Jim Crow class. Negroes that will not respect themselves should not manifest alarm and impatience because other people do not respect them. Negroes put upon themselves the stamp of inferiority whenever they pay for the privilege of occupying a seat in a Jim Crow institution, or content themselves with any accommodations of inferior grade. While we are standing out against the Jim Crow street car, let us in like manner stand out against the buzzard roost theatre. If we hope to win in any contention of this character let us by all means be consistent, and oppose the Jim Crow business in all the styles that it may come to us.—Nashville (Tenn) Clarion. The new president of the State University is Dr. John Ford, pastor for several years of the First Baptist church of Denver, Col. He received seven of the twelve votes of the trustees. Four went to Dr. C. H. Parrish, who was supported by those who believed in the feasibility of uniting the academic features of the State University with the industrial effort of Eckstein Norton University, of which Dr. Parrish is president. One complimentary vote was cast for Mr. W. H. Steward, the hard-working chairman of the board. The result, while a surprise, appears to be quite agreeable to the rank and file of Kentucky Baptist who have confidence in the recommendations of the far-seeing editor of the American Baptist, Mr. Stewart. Dr. Ford comes highly recommended as an educator of experience, a pulpit orator of power, and an executive officer of demonstrated capacity. The pace set by the late Dr. Purce will be a difficult one to equal, but the patrons of the school are sure to give the new president a fair chance to win his spurs, before instituting odious comparisons.—Advocate Charleston, W. Va. The New Negro What He Needs in Connection with the Letter is the Skillful Training of the Hand. "Industry is the Keynote to Success. Of all the grand gatherings of people who play upon the American stage only one was thrust thereon who had no voice in the choosing, and that one was the American Negro, the common subject of abuse, the man of sorrows and grief, and yet the most docile, the most patient of men, the very embodiment of loyalty and patriotism. From the day that he was unwillingly forced into this country he has been shadowed by a darkness unknown to others of this great American people. with enterprise, sweetly blending in harmony with the buzz and roar of industry. When we retire at night the most soothing lullaby that wafts the children of men into the realms of slumberland, is the swelling chorus of the factory and the shop. "Industry is the keynote to success." What we need in connection with the letter is the skillful training of the hand, and in this we must strive to excel. The Negro must strive to be a better mechanic than the white man. The prejudice that predominates But when the din and roar of war had ceased and the smoke that shrouded the ghost of American thraldom had cleared away, there stood on the threshold of a new era a New Negro, coming factor in this nation's citizenship, a people in part weakened, in part polluted, in part degraded, and yet within this woefully conditioned people was found a germ of manhood and womanhood as pure as crystal and as beautiful as the world ever looked upon and which within less than a generation has startled the world by unprecedented and as yet unparalleled advancement along the line of intellectual development. In his mad rush for classical education the equally important requirement, an industrial education, has been overlooked, and the opposers of Negro advancement charge that he has done nothing in the industrial world. We live in an industrial age, where the song of progress is set to the accompaniment that rings NO. 21. with enterprise, sweetly blending in harmony with the buzz and roar of industry. When we retire at night the most soothing lullaby that wafts the children of men into the realms of slumberland, is the swelling chorus of the factory and the shop. "Industry is the keynote to success." What we need in connection with the letter is the skillful training of the hand, and in this we must strive to excel. The Negro must strive to be a better mechanic than the white man. The prejudice that predominates and passes judgment upon the worth of men, will require the Negro to display more mechanical skill in the bending of a pin than it will require of a white man in the building of a locomotive. The Negro must strive for success in the commercial world. It has been absolutely demonstrate that the Negro must work out his own redemption. What part has the Negro laborer, including the skilled mechanics, Negro business men and women played in the solution of the race problem? If we were to compare their small achievements with those of other men and women the proportion would be small, but what they have done toward the solution of this ever perplexing question is far reaching and commendable. Statistics show that over thirty thousand Negroes are engaged in business owned and controlled wholly by Negroes. Wherever the Negro attempts a business that is elevating to the race it should be greeted with the fullest measure of patronage and confidence, and race pride is the one thing essential to this end. The Negro is a race of consumers and to assure any marked degree of success he must become a producer as well. The man who has the manual training and does, will have all credit due him in the firand final. We need an army of active workers. The men who build the houses and bridges, lay the sidewalk and set up the machinery, till the soil, manufacture, sell and deliver the goods are they who will be reckoned among the worthy. The women who make the dresses and the hats, and do the cooking and mending will hold equal with those of finer arts, and are they who will be chosen. Let those oppose who may; God still reins, and on the day of final reckoning I do not opine that the American Negro will be counted the least among earth's men.—S. O. Clayton.

FIVE REPUBLICANS BOLT Thirteen New Contract Mail Lines Established—Subvention to Vessels in Foreign and Philippine Trade—Naval Reserve Force Created. Washington.—At a few minutes after 6 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the Senate cast its first ballot on the subsidy shipping bill, which was passed by a vote of 38 to 27. All the votes for the bill were by Republican senators, and five Republican senators voted with the Democrats in opposition. They were Messrs. Burkett, Dolliver, LaFollette, Spooner and Warner. The vote on the bill was preceded by action on a number of amendments, and this by an entire day of debate. Many important amendments were accepted, but only in one case was a modification agreed to that was not in accordance with the wishes of the managers of the bill. The exception was on an amendment offered by Mr. Spooner eliminating the provision giving half pay to members of the naval reserve who have served less than six months. As passed the bill establishes thirteen new contract mail lines and increases the subvention of the Oceanic line, running from the Pacific coast to Australasia. Of the thirteen new lines three three leave Atlantic coast ports, one running to Brazil, one to Uruguay and Argentina, and one to south Africa; six from ports on the Gulf of Mexico, embracing one to Brazil, one to Cuba, one to Mexico and three to Central America and the Isthmus of Panama; four from Pacific coast ports, embracing two to Japan, China and the Philippines direct; one to Japan, China, and the Philippines via Hawaii, and one to Mexico, Central America and the Isthmus of Panama. The bill also grants a subvention at the rate of $5 per gross ton per year to cargo vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the United States and at the rate of $5.50 per ton to vessels engaged in the Philippine trade, the Philippine coastwise law being postponed until 1909. Another feature of the bill is that creating a naval reserve force of 10,000 officers and men, who are to receive retainers after the British practice. Vessels receiving subsidies are required to carry a certain proportion of naval reserve men among their crews. The aggregate compensation for mail lines is about $3,000,00 annually. No steam vessels of less than 1,000 tons is to receive aid under the bill. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. Chicago.—The City Council at a special meeting Wednesday took action on three important propositions affecting the city. An order fixing the price to be paid for gas by consumers at 85 cents instead of 90 cents and $1 as heretofore, was passed over the veto of Mayor Dunne, 57 to 10. An ordinance raising the liquor license from $500 to $600 was passed, but not by a constitutional majority, and when it comes up again the $1,000 advocates expect to win. It was decided to have the people vote on issuing bonds of $75,000,000 to purchase street railways. The ordinance placing the saloon license at $600 instead of $500, the present figure, was passed by a vote of 35 to 32, but Mayor Dunne ruled that the measure had failed of passage because it did not receive 36 votes, the constitutional majority. The $1,000 ordinance was then re-introduced, but it was referred to the license committee, to be presented again at the next meeting of the Council, February 26th. DURANGO RUBBER FACTORY. Gets Government Lease of Six Thousand Acres. Denver.—A Republican special from Durango says: E. C. Dunbar, manager of the local rubber factory, has returned from a trip to. Washington, where he enlisted the aid of Congressman Brooks, who got a bill through Congress giving Mr. Dunbar's company a lease on 6,000 acres of land on Fort Lewis mesa, which Mr. Dunbar will use in the experimental cultivation of the rubber weed. The Department of Agriculture will also send a man out to conduct experiments for the government. The altitude of this land ranges from 7,000 to 8,000 feet and the plant grows larger and in greater abundance there than anywhere else in this section. The land is leased for ten years. It has been temporarily withdrawn from entry for settlement. The last piece of machinery for the rubber factory was received a few days ago and has been put in place. School Principal Removed. Denver.—A Republican special from Florence says: Prof. M. E. Shuck, for two years principal of the McCandless high school, was dismissed from service and his teacher's certificate revoked by the board of education Tuesday night. A resolution reciting that he had been found guilty of certain charges made in Thurman, Iowa, and investigated by Messrs. Moore and Champion of the school board, was read and it urged that his certificate be revoked. The vote was three for dismissal and one for retention. The professor was notified next morning that he could no longer teach during the present term. By his removal the most bitter fight that has ever been waged between members of the board has ended. Shuck threatens proceedings against the school district to recover his salary for the remainder of the term, $450. I'S LINIMENT AND NARY REMEDIES way to every kraiser.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They cure anemia just as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N.J., and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, sailing, bloodless person. "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning," says Mrs. McGann, "and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. "Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "One day, while I was wondering how long I could live, feeling as I did, I received a booklet telling about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I read it and told my husband to get me some of the pills. Before the first box was gone I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as I could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headache, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to lots of my friends." For further information address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

HOPE TO END OUTBREAKS New Set of Rules Adopted—Superintendent Given Large Authority—Committees of Employment and Recreation. Denver.—If the new set of rules drawn up by the board of control of the State Industrial School for Girls at its last regular meeting is strictly adhered to, it is hoped that trouble at the institution will soon be a thing of the past and the school will become a credit to Colorado. The rules, according to the records, are the only formal written ones ever adopted, and by providing remedies for all the evils that have affected the institution so long, supply many much-needed reforms. The most important of the reforms set forth are those relating to the employment and recreation of the girls. Among the eight committees provided is a committee of employment, whose duty is to devise ways and means of properly keeping the inmates employed, especial attention being given to the domestic industries and all branches of housework. To a committee of recreation the planning of healthful pleasures for the girls when they are finished with their daily tasks is entrusted. Another committee is called the committee of farm, which is to see that vegetables are planted in season on the grounds of the home, and a farmer employed to cultivate them. The instruction of the girls is given over to the committee on education and all paroled cases comes under the supervision of the committee on paroles, which is supposed to keep in touch with all inmates who leave the school on parole. Exclusive management over the affairs of the institution and authority over the employees is given to the superintendent. To her also is committed exclusive charge of all matters requiring liscipine, but a safeguard against any arbitrary or tyrannical action on her part is provided for in a section which states that she must "make specific reports to the board of control of all cases requiring exceptional punishment or physical restraint." According to the rules, it is the duty of the board to uphold the superintendent in her management and if she acts contrary to the wishes of the majority of the board, she must be advised, and if she does not then conform to its orders, she shall be dismissed. One of the duties of the superintendent, expressly stated, is to know that the eatables given are of good quality, sufficient in quantity and well cooked. She must also see that every inmate is kept busy and is given a thorough common school education and training, particularly along lines that will lead to making her self-supporting. She must also send monthly reports concerning the temperament and tendencies of every new inmate and thereafter report monthly with respect to her opinion of the girl's prospects of improvement in character. Each girl on her admission is to be examined by a physician appointed by the board. Religious instruction is not made compulsory. "Religious instruction may be given girls on Sunday by clergy of any religious denomination" is the way the regulation reads. The part of the new rules considered the most important by the members of the board themselves is that dealing with paroles. No parole, it is provided, will be permitted by the board unless, in its opinion, the girl in question has, since her confinement in the school, become so reformed that a parole is warranted. Another section reads as follows: "No girl will either be permitted to leave the institution within eighteen months of admission or be paroled at any time or go home or return to the environments from which she was committed to the school, excepting for very exceptional reasons." Paroled girls who are supplied with places of employment must entrust to the superintendent all their earnings except $1 a week to be kept for spending money. If any girl escapes from the place to which she is paroled she forfeits to the state part of this reserve fund and must indemnify the state for the expense caused by searching for her. During the agitation aroused by the serious outbreak in the school last summer the methods in vogue at other industrial schools in the country were frequently quoted by those not in accord with the manner in which the state school was being conducted. The custom at some places of rewarding the wayward girls for good behavior was particularly commended. This is one of the innovations that is going to be tried by the present board of control of Colorado's institution. The daily behavior of each girl is to be marked according to merits or deremerits. The superintendent is made the sole judge of the marks and must advise each girl at least once a month of her standing. Undue criticism of the board of control as a whole by the actions of any one of its members is warded off by this section: "Members of the board of control are not permitted to discriminate or take special interest individually in any girl or girls and are hereby prohibited from receiving in their charge any girl or girls on parole." Members are also prohibited from making promises to the inmates and from incautiously or indiscreetly conversing with them. Miss Roosevelt's Birthday Washington.—President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained a large party of friends at the White House Monday night to celebrate Miss Alice Roosevelt's twenty-second birthday. Many of Miss Roosevelt's younger friends attended. Those present included Senator and Mrs. Newlands, the Countess De Chambrun, Mr. and Mrs. Lars Anderson, Representative Nicholas Longworth, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Baron Rubido-Zichy, Edwin V. Morgan, Maj. Charles L. McCawley and Lieutenant Grant. ROYAL GORGE RAILROAD. Large Bonus Secured for It in Canon City. Denver.—A Canon City dispatch says: Articles of agreement were signed Tuesday night by F. S. Granger and the executive committee of the business men of this city, whereby the $25,000 bonus raised by citizens of Canon City and Florence for the establishment of an interurban street railroad system in Fremont county shall be placed in escrow in the Fremont County Bank, this city. Upon the completion of the road, including lines from Canon City to Florence, South Canon, East Canon, Lincoln Park and the top of the Royal Gorge and all lines in actual operation, the money will be paid over to Mr. Granger. Actual work will begin March 1st, when a large force will start grading and push it to completion. Mr. Granger has already placed large orders for steel rails which are expected by April 15th. The cars will be the finest of their kind ever put in service in Colorado and are being built in St. Louis. It is claimed that this will be the first standard-gauge interurban system inaugurated in this state. Mr. Granger promises to have the road in operation by July 1st. He has in mind the building of a suspension bridge across the chasm of the Royal Gorge at its narrowest point, just below the hanging bridge, and the extension of the line along the mountains on the south side of the river back to Canon City, making one of the most remarkable scenic routes in the world. Such a bridge across the Arkansas would be over 2,000 feet above the river and would be the highest in the world. MONEY OF PLUTOCRATS. W. J. Bryan Declares College Should Not Accept It. Jacksonville, Ill.—William J. Bryan, who is president of the board of trustees of Illinois College of this city, has written from Hong Kong, China, tendering his resignation, to take effect at once, and it has been accepted by that body. Mr. Bryan refuses to serve as a trustee because the board wishes to take advantage of the offer of Mr. Carnegie to extent aid to western colleges. He says the colleges that accept are selling out "to the plutocrats of the land who are seeking to strangle economic truths." A month ago Judge Owen P. Thompson and M. F. Dunlap, both prominent Illinois Democrats, who were trustees of this college, resigned because Mr. Carnegie was to be asked to assist in the institution in its finances. "The issue presented," writes Mr. Bryan, "seems to me to be a vital one, and even if Carnegie refuses the same question will likely arise if some other trust magnate invites requests. Our college cannot serve God and mammon. It cannot be a college for the people and at the same time commend itself to the commercial highwaymen who are now subsidizing the colleges to prevent the teaching of economic truth. "It grieves me to have my alma mater converted into an ally of plutocracy, but, having done what I could to prevent it, I have no other recourse than to withdraw from its management. I regret that the action, if it was to be taken, was not taken before I gave my notes, for I regard the money given as worse than wasted if the college is to be under the shadow of a great monopoly." Phillippine Railroad Concessions. Washington.—The bid of Solomon & Co., Cornelius Vanderbilt, J. G. White & Co., all of New York; Thomas F. Swift of Detroit, with whom is associated the International Banking corporation; H. R. Wilson and Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co., has been accepted by the Philippine government for the concessionary contracts or grants for the construction, maintenance and operation of railroads in the islands of Negros, Panay and Cebu. Their bid provides for full government guarantee authorized by Congress on four per cent. bonds for a period of thirty years, on ninety-five per cent. of the cost of construction. There were no other bids for the grants for these islands. The lines on Negros and Panay will aggregate 100 miles each and on Cebu ninety-five miles. Wants Ten Thousand Men. San Francisco. — Throughout the middle west states reports are in existence that the Western Pacific railroad wants 10,000 laborers to build its roadbed between Salt Lake City and San Francisco and that it is willing to help defray their railroad fare to bring them out here. Vice President and Chief Engineer Bogue of the Western Pacific in discussing the question of labor, said: "The company will soon want 10,000 men. Mr. Gould wants the Western Pacific completed as soon as possible. Consequently we will require thousands of laborers, white men if we can get them." Wisconsin Wants Two-Cent Rate. Madison, Wis.—Steps were taken Tuesday looking to the establishment of a 2 cents per mile passenger rate on Wisconsin railroads when Secretary of State Touser filed a personal complaint with the State Railroad Commission against the Wisconsin Central railway, whose 3-cent charge he declares to be excessive. Fatal Fire at Portland.

GINSENG INFORMATION RELATING TO THE RICHEST PRODUCT OF THE SOIL. 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 correspondingly 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.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in. the city of Denver, Colorado, LINCOLN’S ANNIVERSARY. Abraham Lincoln the great emancipator was fittingly remew- bered throughout the land last Monday. In many states his birthday is a legal holiday. In others business houses and public buildings were closed in commem- eration of his birth. In the pub. lie school and college Lincoln’s character, achievements and death were celebrated in essays, orations song and story: As the years pass Lincolns greatness and granduer grows upon the public mind and impresses itself upon the heart and life of the nation. Patriotic societies and Grand Army organ- izatiens are particnlarly zealous in Lincoln Day celebrations. He is the most beloved. man _ before the pubic eye. All of the colored people of the United States feel an ever increasing debt of grati- tude to this noble and unselfish commoner, - In Denver, The Peoples Sunday Alliance had the celebration in hand and notwithstanding the fact that many of the largest churches were engaged in special services and crowded to the doors at that hour. Yet Odd Fellows Hall the home of the Alliance was crowded to hear the eloquent message and tribute to Lincoln given by Rabbi W. S. Freidman of Temple Imnan- nelof this ‘city. Lincoln’s name is now a household word in every home of the nation and a more worthy fame could not be better choosen by any mortal than to live in the memory and _ affection of a greatful people and “Dear” to the heart of his countrymen. ROWDYISM IN PUBLIC HALLS. The dance craze, society hops, charity balls, club receps, Juvenile stunts, and ministral stilts has tak- en full possession of Denver. Ail of this would not be so bad if in these promiscious mix ups, fight- ing, cursing, insulting epithets and cutting affrays were not made a part of the performance. But a multiplicity of these dances has led to total disregard to propriety, decency and self respect and the time has come for the pulpil and press to call attention to these or- geries that are not only debauch- ing young men and women but closing entertainment halls to the use of the-better class of people in Denver. The presence of vicious and well known lewd characters or those who disregard the respect of haman decency at these dances is the cause of these disturbances, and why are these characters there? Because of placing tick- ets in the hands of young girls and offering prizes to the ones selling the largest number, Children in their innocence will yo any place, club, brothel or dive and will tackle anybody tu buy tickets in order that they may sell the largest number and secure the prize. If a man purchases a ticket from a girl he feels that at least he is good enough to dance with the girl he bought the ticket from and the girls thinks and feel the same way—then his woman comes up interfears anda rough house follows. This is the history of most of these disgraceful affairs and the time has come to calla halt. Let us stop and think. THE PASSING OF DUNBAR. Paul Laurence Dunbar has. in the language of the West, crossed the range. His life star has set. He died at his home in Dayton, Ohio, Friday February ninth be- ing just a few months past thirty- three years of age. In the very Zenith of his manhood and at the height of his intellectual and poetical fame. Dunbar has made a name for himself and a reputa- tion for the race that will not eas- ily be forgotten. Four novels about ten short sketches and seven books of poems are in the hands of the Literary students to his credit and he was engaged on the eighth volumn of poems when the grim reaper death issued his sum- mons. Besides inany newspaper and magazine articles Dunbar has sent forth upon the Literary sea many terse epigrams that have been heralded over the world with- out any thought that the author of these epigrammatic utterance was a Negro. His poems and writings have been so_ striking, smooth and suggestive that pub- lishers everywhere have been ready to furnish a market for his pro- ductions. Dunbar was well known in Denver and Colorado where he has given many readings from his ‘own works to classical audiences and where he sought recuperation for the dread disease consumption that laid hold on his overburden- ed brain and overstrained body. For three years he has been con- fined to his room and for the past nine months critically ill but still he kept constantly at work. His last book published about Christ- mas entitled “Howdy, Honey, Howdy,” completely exhausted his vitality and he has been only lin- gering since. He was born June 27, 1872 at Dayton, Ohio, wrote his first poem at the age of seven years, While his first work to attract serious attention was a graduating poem written for the Steele High school in Isl. Many of his choice poems “When Malindy Sings” and “The Corn Pone is Hot” are familiar to every reader. His works being favorite among young people especially, He was buried at Woodland ceme- tary, Feb. 12th, many Literary Starsand people of note being present “Valle” Dunbar. Your name is safe. Difficulties of Medicines. In Jackson, Mississippi, there is an old negro who all his life complainec of numerous ailments. Nothing pleases him more than to expatiate or his “misery.” One day an old employer met the aged Jake, and the following conversa tion ensued: “Well, Jake, how are the headaches to-day, and the liver, and the gout ir your left foot?” “Thankee, Mistah Jinkins, they’se doing putty well, thankee sah. I's¢ takin’ a powerful lot o’ medicine Iate ly.” “That so Jake, What are you tak ing?” “Oh. I'se takin’ some powder for de head, some little pills for de liver, and some kinder stuff for de gout.

You know in our ‘state sometimes land disappears dur- ing the night and a man wakes up to find his garden a great sinkhole. This 4s, of course, due to the fact that Flor- ida is built on coral and not yery sub- stantially built at that, especially in some of the interior counties. Harry Redding had a nice patch of Irish po- tatoes, and Oliver Vance, his neigh- bor, had what he called a farm and near the house was a sinkhole. “One night Redding’s potato patch disappeared and the next morning he had a nice large sinkhole filled with water where his garden patch was. The same night Vane, who had a sinkhole when he went to bed, woke up to find the hole was filled with dirt. in which there seemed to be a lot of pebbles about the size of a man's fist. Naturally he was surprised, He ex- amined the pebbles to find them po- tatoes, and after calling the family up they got to work and gathered in | six bushels of potatoes ready for mar- ket. When the 8:23 limited pulled into Wheatley, in this county, one evening, it was discovered, says the Le Seur correspondent cf the St. Paul Pioneer Press, that one of the rear wheels on the last coach was broken, a piece having been split off from one side 60 ‘that there was a slightly flat place on the wheel, and, as it was feared, ‘the broken wheel in pounding over ‘the track had broken a rail, Only by ‘a miracle was the 8:56 local saved from being wrecked. Three miles south of Bentley the flattened wheel had broken out a sec- tion of rail about seven feet long— broken it out so badly that it was torn from the spikes and lay across the rails, where it was found five minutes before the local was due by Willy ‘Schultz, a boy of 14 years, who lives ‘on a farm near by. The lad knew that the local soon would be along and he was frightened. He put the piece of, rail In place and then started down the track toward the’ approaching train, running as fast as he could. He had not gone twenty feet, however, when there came a blinding flash of lightning from a dark cloud that cov- ‘ered the sky, and he wasisiruck down Dr. McBryer, who was very fond of speedy horses, had purchased a new one that had a mark 9f/2:10, and also possessed some very livadstrong ways. ‘Nevertheless, the doctor waygroud of his new trotter, and was anyibus that his friends should enjoy with him ‘ts bursts of speed. So about a week after the thoroughbred had been ad- ded to his stable he invited Judge Rodgers to take a drive with him. The judge said he felt thé’need of some fresh air and-would go gladly. ‘They started out of town at a lively clip. In the country the doctor gave the horse his head, and the buggy rat tled over the road at a hair-raising rate of speed. The judge clinched his jaws and manfully determined not to ask the doctor to slow down, knowing that if he did so he would be accused of lacking nerve. At last. about five miles out, the doctor pulled: up and turned around preparatory (o starting home. “How do you like him, | judge?” asked the doctor. “Fine! Best goer I ever saw. Great %m a recent trial in Tokyo it was disclosed that a certain Osaburo No- guchi had Killed three persons under remarkable circumstances. He was in love with Soye, the sister of a well known Japanese poet, Ichitaro ‘Noguchi. The latter, who was afflict- ‘ed with leprosy, disliked the man. To win the regard of the poet, and at the ‘same time to protect his lady love ee the disease Osaburo attempted to eure the leper. He had heard it ‘sald that human flesh would eure lep- ‘rosy.

Redding claimed that under the law where a man’s stock wanders on to the premises of another, without his fault, he can go after it. He argued that the same doctrine applied to po- tatoes which had wandering habits. For he was very sure that the pota- toes on the Vance farm belonged to him. Vance and his friends invoked another principle of law that a man owns his land from heaven to hades and he refused to dig up the potatoes for the benefit of his neighbor. “All that happened ten years ago,” continued Mr. Humphries, “and the Reddings and the Vances are still armed against each other. Two or three skirmishes have taken place be- tween te parties and one of the Vance boys, 18 years old, was wound- ed by fire from the enemy. “They have never spoken to each other since that eventful night ten years ago. Lawyers and_politiclans have gone out to help them. settle their difficulties, but they were obdure ate, and if the feud grows for twenty years as it has already Florida and Marion county will have a feud equal to the best that Kentucky has ever produced.”—Denver Republican. unconscious and nearly bereft of life. It must have been ien minutes be fore he tegained consciousness, for when he did:so he saw the train :om- ing toward him at great speed. He staggered to his feet, the remem. brance of the broken rail still in his mind, and waved his hands, but the engine did not stop, and just as it was about to crush him, he “stepped from the rails and the train sped on. But the engineer at the last moraent had seen the boy step out of the en- sine’s way, and, throwing on the le- ver, stopped the train after it had run several hundred feet beyond the break in the rail. When the engineer jumped down and came running back to see what the trouble was, young Schultz told him and showed him the place where the rail had been broken; but now it was perfectly sound. The flash of lightning that struck Schultz down spent the main portion of its force’ om the track in the immediate locality where the fracture was, and had even- ly and perfectly welded the broken rail in place at both ends. The track was as safe and solid as it was the day it was laid. pleasure to ride behind him,” declared the judge. “Well, on the way back, I'll just show you what real trotting is.” ‘The horse covered the first mile 9s if it were spurting down a home- stretch to win a $10,000 purse.

With the bit in its teeth, It took immediate charge of the driving party, and neither doctor nor judge ever traveled so fast as they dld behind that horse. Still, the judge, noting that the doctor merely pulled taut on the reins and occasionally chirruped soothingly to the horse, would not show any signs of alarm. ‘They reached the edge of town, and the horse seemed to put on moro speed. From side to side of the street they bounced, and then the judge leaned over to the doctor and gasped: “Doc, if you'd just as soon, I'll get out at my office.

On the following morning he bought a small cooking pot and konro (portable “earthenware —_ furnace), hired a boat and rowed out to sea. There he made soup with the flesh, and, putting it into a bottle, threw overboard all other objects. On his way home he bought a bottle of ordi. nary soup and served the mixture of these two soups to the poet and Soye. The mess had no effect upon the poet's leprosy. At a little later time Osaburo mar ried Soye. Soon, however, the brothers-in-law quarreled. After vain: ly seeking a reconciliation Osaburc stole into the house one day and strangled the sick man.

John Wesley wrote in 1748: “I could not imagine what should occa- sion the shaking of my hand till I ob- served it was always worst after breakfast, and that if I intermitted tea drinking for two or three days it did not shake at all. Upon inquiry £ found tea had the same effect on other persons of my acquaintance, and therefore saw that this was one of its natural effects, as several physicians have often remarked.” After a daily practice of tea drinking for twenty- seven years Wesley left it off. The effects of relinquishing it fully an- svered his expectations. “My para- lytic complaints are all gone, my hand 4s as steady as it was at 15, and I save up 50 pounds ($250) a year.” CITY NEWS.

The greatest boons that medicine has ever conferred upon humanity have been met at first with the most violent opposition, amounting in some cases almost to persecution. When Pare introduced the ligature he was greeted with a perfect storm of ridicule and abuse, and finally, in self-defense had to show that the idea was not strictly original, but might be traced in the writings of Hippocrates. --- THE Open Saturday Nights G OUT OF THE ORDINARY A Predicament. Oh, women are the strangest things There are beneath the sun; Although I know that very well— I mean to marry one! But which one is the question, for I don't know what to do; Although I mean to marry one— I am engaged to two! The situation surely is As trying as can be; Although I am engaged to two— I am in love with three! And then there is another fact That troubles me still more; Although I am in love with three— I am beloved by four— Harold Susmar Flying Turtles. In one of the gallery tanks on the salt water side of the Aquarium are three sea turtles, each about a foot in length, the three including two green turtles and a hawksbill. They attract much attention here, where they can be seen close at hand and their motions in the water studied. It may be that one of them will be seen swimming through the water, head up, with its body suspended at an angle and flapping its two broad forward flippers, one on either side, like the wings of a bird. Then the turtle looks strikingly like some sort of odd bird flying through the water. A visitor who halted in front of this tank yesterday was so struck by the sight of one of these turtles that he raised his arms and swung them with the swimmer's flapping flippers, keeping time with the flying turtle.—New York Sun. Ate Head of Human Being. An English officer, during a successful campaign in the east, many years ago, expressed a wish for a well-cooked boar's head. On the following day his table was graced with what was represented to him as a native dish of the food that he desired, prepared with especial care by one of the most noted cooks of India. The officer ate with unusual relish, not neglecting to bestow most extravagant praise on the manner of cooking, and begged that the recipe for preparing boar's head might be given him. The reader may imagine his horror when the Englishman afterward received incontestable proof that he had dined off a slave's head, who had been killed for the purpose, instead of a boar, no such animal being known in that country.—Exchange. Has an $8 Bill Courtney Holmes of Burlington has in his possession an old $8 bill of the continental currency of 1778. It is a small piece of rough white paper, not over 4x3 inches, now yellow with age and very poorly printed. On the face there is a round emblem and an inscription in Latin, with the words "United States of America" across the top. To the right of the emblem are the words: "This bill entitles the bearer to receive eight Spanish milled dollars or the value thereof in gold or silver, according to a resolution passed by congress at Philadelphia, Sept. 26, 1774." On the back is a design in three tobacco leaves and the words "Printed by Hall & Sellers, 1778."—Kansas City Journal. Ring-Tailed Wild Cat. A ring-tailed cat, an animal decidedly rare in northern Michigan, has been caught by Herman Thiele, a Naeunae man, in a trap set at Goose Lake, five miles distant. It was the first specimen ever captured by either Mr. Thiele or his father, and together they have been engaged in trapping for the last forty-five years. The animal has fine, silky gray fur. Though there are some black stripes down the back, the most striking characteristic is a series of black rings around the bushy tail. In this appendage it differs radically from the ordinary wild cat. The wild cat, like the lynx, is possessed of a bobtail, while the ring-tailed cat has a tail more than a foot in length and very bushy. Saved by His Coat-Tail. By his coat-tail catching in a portion of the scaffolding in front of a London (Eng.) warehouse, a workman was, a few days ago, saved from being dashed to pieces on the pavement, nearly one hundred feet below. He had lost his footing, and fallen from the scaffolding, when an obstruction caught his coat and hung him in mid-air. Firemen, who hurried to the spot, succeeded in rescuing the man. Flying Squirrel Came Down Chimney. A flying squirrel recently came down the chimney, a la Santa Claus, at William C. Leavitt's home in Norway. He got into the soot on his passage down and got out through the flue into the room. He looked black, and at first was called a black squirrel. He was a rare looking animal. He did not appear to be much frightened and was easily caught.—Kennebec Journal. Tragedy in Paris Music Hall. Tragedy in Paris Music Hall. A music hall singer named Fer had just concluded a song at a Paris music hall a few days ago, and was collecting, according to custom, amongst the audience, when a Lieut. Thomas rose in the stalls and shot her dead. He then stood at bay for some time, but surrendered to a brother officer and a priest on condition that he was allowed to see the body of the dead girl, which had been carried on the stage. NOT A CASE FOR THE DOCTOR. Georgetown Man's Verdict Showed Great Penetration. A party of well-known Georgetown men for many years made annual trips to the "Devil's Den," a wild and rugged locality in Boxford, for the purpose of picking red raspberries, which grew in great profusion in that lonesome locality. On one of these visits the party consisted of Sheriff Neilson, "Squire" Tenney, Ed Jewett and Tristam Brown, the latter being obliged by lameness to walk with a crutch and cause. During the afternoon "Squire" Tenney discovered among the bushes the remains of a man who had evidently been dead several months. He at once raised an alarm, and all hands came as fast as possible to the spot. As they stood silently viewing their appalling discovery, Mr. Brown came puffing along as fast as his crutch and cane would permit. Upon his first view of the remains he exclaimed: "Well, it ain't no use to try to bring him to."—Boston Herald. VANITIES OF LUXURIOUS ROME. Women Carried Care of the Person to Extremes. Women of ancient, luxurious Rome used to eat parsley as a mouth cleanser. Honey boiled in wine and aniseed was also a sweetener of the breath and pastils of myrtle were employed for the same purpose. Silver tongs and knives were employed in caring for the nails. No woman of social eminence cut her own finger nails; those who had not skilled slaves employed barbers. Perfection in those respects was one of the thirty beauties attributed to Helen of Troy. Great pains were bestowed on the feet, for it was considered that the breeding was betrayed by them as easily as by the hands. They were always much in evidence, the sandals worn not hiding them. Long, tapering fingers were highly prized. Various kinds of herb decoctions were employed to beautify the fingers. Pliny gives recipes for removing any undesired substances from the nails. Whistling for Exercise Whistling is the newest fad put forth by the health seekers, and the possible result of such an exercise coming into universal practice fills one with dire thoughts for the future. Unfortunately, all who whistle are not experts, and the idea of all the members of a household indulging in the mournful sounds which some times issue from some gifted throat is anything but pleasing. It certainly does away with the old adage which most women have had thrown at them in their tomboy days: "Whistling girls and crowing hens allways come to some bad ends." Nature In man the understanding and memory correspond with idea and form Nature is a shadow, for Nature'is a type and mark of the divine, a living mirror, in which we behold pictures of natural things, and the shadow of Divinity. Nature, contains the idea (form) as its cause and principle. In the same manner the representation of the object is the basis of understanding in the artist, and determines his work. Put in Nature the idea is in truth the substance; for the idea is in matter, producing countless forms in eternal vicissitude.-Glordano Bruno Individuality in Signatures. The signature of an individual has long been recognized as the best and most reliable proof of identification, and in consequence the seal has long since gone out of favor. Although the modern system of penmanship tends toward teaching the same style, yet notwithstanding, no two individuals write alike. After a person has attained majority the handwriting becomes uniform and fixed, the signature always being the same, and hence any unconscious change in the writing points to a physical or mental deterioration. Horse-power. The word "horse-power," as applied to automobiles, means just the same as when applied to any other engine. Horse-power is the name of the unit in terms of which engineers measure the power of steam-engines, water-wheels and other prime movers. It is defined to be the rate at which an engine works when it does 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute, a foot-pound being the amount of work necessary to raise a pound weight a foot high. Imagine Benefit in Iron Ring Doctors bump up against all sorts of superstitions when making the rounds of their patients. For instance, there are men who believe, as they believe in Gospel, the wearing of common iron ring on the second finger of either hand will make them immune to certain ills. Every third day they carefully wipe from the inside of this ring a rusty deposit, which they imagine the ring has drawn from their body. Children Before the Church. F. L. Haubrich of Claremont, N. H., who is well known in the clothing trade, was house-hunting last fail. As he has a family of hearty children, the business became quite a task. He tried to hire a parsonage, and the agent said he would like first rate to let him in, but the church had vetted not to rent the house to anyone with children. "Well, Mr. Agent," retorted Mr. Haubrich. "I wouldn't kill one of my children for the whole church."

BUILDING ASSURED FOR DENVER BY FUND OF OVER $200,000. RAISED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS Result of Enthusiastic Work—Lots Previously Paid For — Plans for Seven-Story Building May Be Changed to Eight. Denver.—All Denver watched with curious and anxious eyes Tuesday for the finish of the month's campaign to secure a fund of $200,000 for the Y. M. C. A. building, and a part stayed up late at night to learn the result. At 9 o'clock the room on Seventeenth street was packed and jammed with men, and when announcements were made showing that the total subscriptions exceeded the amount asked the crowd fairly went wild with excitement. Speech after speech was made of congratulation and cheers were given for all the prominent workers, the newspapers, the young men and the boys. To conclude the love feast W. A. Hover invited the entire crowd to join him at the Savoy hotel in an oyster supper. It was quite unanimously accepted, and about 9:30 the crowd departed up Seventeenth street and left the clerks to figure up the day's results. The situation took a new turn Tuesday afternoon after it became evident that the fund was going to be oversubscribed, and the proposition now is to build a $250,000 or $275,000 building. B. F. Woodward, who is now in Los Angeles, sent a telegram announcing that he will give $10,000 more on the condition that an eight-story building be erected. C. S. Ward, the Y. M. C. A. building expert, estimates that such a building will cost not less than $250,000. The meeting Tuesday night immediately appointed an advisory committee to take charge and devise a way of meeting this increase. On top of what has already been done it might seem a large task to raise $15,000 to $40,000 more, but it is not. The situation as to the fund is exactly as follows: A campaign was started last year to get lots and begin the work. It resulted in subscriptions to the amount $56,000, and Mr. Woodward, who makes the new offer, gave $15,000 of that. Five lots were purchased at $35,000, leaving a balance of $21,000. W. E. Sweet come forward on January 13th with the offer to donate $25,000 conditional on the citizens subscribing enough to make a fund of $200,000. Altogether there was subscribed during the month's work $174,000, not counting the Sweet offer. Those are the figures that stand on the books, but in truth about $225,000 has been subscribed. For instance, the young boys have out in promises a considerable sum that has not yet been set down, as much of it is in small promises. There are letters and telegrams out that have not been answered, and these are sure to bring responses. Two stores that gave ten per cent. on sales have not yet reported. If the architects can build an eight-story fire proof and steel building for $250,000 it will only leave $15,000 additional to be raised to meet the Woodward offer. After the building is erected there will come the question of furnishing, but the women of the city have that in hand. The women at Plymouth Church already have a fund of $850, and those at Central Presbyterian Church $1,000 for the furnishing. They were ready to throw this into the fund Tuesday afternoon if it had been necessary to make the Sweet offer go. Another subscription of the month that might justly be figured in was about $5,000 worth of furnishings, like planes. Of the subscriptions made during the campaign about $10,000 was in cash. It is believed that practically every cent of the money subscribed will be collectible. Of course, the big donations will be. C. & S. SHOPS BURNED. Heavy Loss in Company's Big Plant in Denver. Denver.—By the accidental explosion of a tank of Pintsch gas in a car which was awaiting repairs, fire started at the Colorado & Southern shops, Seventh and Water streets, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, which resulted in the complete destruction of the repair department and planing mill. By the company's officials the loss of the property and machinery is estimated at $130,000, which is partly covered by insurance to the amount of $51,500. The total insurance on the entire plant, valued at $500,500, is $165,400. On account of the vast quantity of oil and other inflammable material used at the shops, the fire, after it once gained headway, made rapid progress, and defied the efforts of the firemen, who worked valiantly to get the flames under control before spreading to other buildings. While the roundhouse and machine shops were threatened, there was slight probability at any time that they would be consumed, the firemen from the time of their arrival on the ground taking precautions against danger from this source. Standard Oil Investigation. Des Moines, Ia.—Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri arrived Tuesday for the purpose of taking depositions in regard to alleged unfair competition in the sale of oil by the Standard Oil Company in Iowa. With the taking of the testimony of Frank Northrup and F. E. Lyman of Des Moines, former Standard Oil Company employs, Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley announced that he had made out his case against the Standard Oil Company in Missouri, and expects to get a decision ousting the company from doing business in that state. IRRIGATION DECISION. Lake County Ranchmen Win Against Otero Project. Denver.—A Buena Vista dispatch says: At an adjourned session of the District Court Wednesday the decision of Judge Bailey was rendered in the case of the Otero irrigation district, petitioners for the diversion of water from this and Lake county to Otero county, east of Pueblo. The finding was for the protestants and much pleasure is evinced by the ranchmen of this district, who consider the result a victory for them. The decision holds that the transfer or change would materially injure the vested right*of junior appropriators of water rights of the Arkansas river and its tributaries and that it would be impossible under the testimony adduced to arrive with any degree of accuracy at the amount of damage that would accrue. Nor did the court believe if possible to bring testimony that would materially aid in arriving at a fair and just estimate of the extent of such injury. It says further: "From personal experience and from the testimony adduced the court finds that the use of water upon the lands at and near the source of the Arkansas river is heretofore used for irrigation purposes is of material benefit to all other appropriators and users of water on the stream, both above and below, and this too without regard to the question as to whether the priority so affected were senior or junior to those sought to be transferred. "Such use upon the lands in times of water abundance, when all priorities are substantially satisfied, acts as a conservation of water and sends it down the stream later in times of scarcity as a grateful supply to all users, which water, but for such conservation, would have long before and when no use could have been made of it, passed down the river and to the sea." Attorneys for the petitioners gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court and were given sixty days to file a bond and ninety days to prepare a bill of exceptions. The suit was brought by the Otero irrigation district to secure the diversion of ninety-two cubic feet of water from District No. 11 to the eastern part of the state to District No. 17. The computed value of the water involved is in the neighborhood of $92,000, but the value of land affected by the proposed diversion, it has been estimated would be increased in an amount close to $30,000 for every cubic foot of water sought to be diverted. Taking Professor Carpenter's estimate, that a cubic foot of water will irrigate 150 to 200 acres of land, and using the lower figures, it will be seen that the collateral amount involved in the suit is considerably more than $400,000,000. GENERAL WALSEN DEAD. Noted Colorado Pioneer Passes Over the Range. General Fred Walsen died Thursday morning at 2:30 o'clock, at his residence, No. 1805 Grant avenue. General Walsen had been ill for the last twenty days, but it was not until the last three days that his illness was considered serious. He has been confined to his bed for two weeks. Congestion of the liver was the original trouble, and dropy was the cause of death. General Walsen was in his sixty-sixth year. A Colorado pioneer, perhaps no man in the state was more widely known both in political and business circles. He was the founder of the town of Walsenburg, this state, and was state treasurer in the eighties. Several years ago he retired from active business and since that time he has made Denver his home. General Walsen was a Mason and an Elk and member of many other secret and popular organizations. He leaves a wife and several grown children, who were at his bedside when death came. State Land Sold Denver.—At a meeting of the State Land Board Wednesday it was decided to sell 61.8 acres of land north of Argo to the Tramway company for $350 an acre. The tract will be used for shops by the Tramway. The land had been appraised at $350 an acre. It was decided that the betterments, valued at $3,000, should be included in the $350 figure: The Arkansas Valley and the Swink & Holly railroads, both of which have applied for a right of way over state land in Bent county, were instructed to draw up different routes which would be appraised by the board, a conflict thus being avoided. Charges Against Woodard Fall. Denver.—For some time past the governor has been giving attention to the charges filed against Game and Fish Commissioner Woodard. They were voluminous enough; so also were the answers of the accused. But it is stated that the governor has not been able to find any ground for the removal of the commissioner. It is quite possible that had Mr. Woodard a little more tact he would get along better, but the governor cannot remove on that ground alone. The accounts of the office seem to be all right. Although the complaints are not sustained, the filing gave the governor the opportunity to investigate and to recommend improvements in the conduct of the office. Ohio Bill Against Hazing Columbus, Ohio.—The House has passed a bill making hazing in public and private schools and colleges a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not exceeding $200, or imprisonment in jail not exceeding six months, or both. Teachers and heads of such schools who knowingly permit hazing to be practiced are also to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and are punishable by a fine not exceeding $200. The Market Co.

"You say that you made some good New York's resolutions. What bad habits did you decide to quit?" "Only one. I resolved to quit being a quitter." Woman's Trials. The bitter trail in a woman's life is to be childless. Who can tell how hard the struggle may have have ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot? The abstraction of this line together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is a common disappointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole story of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. In many cases of barrenness or childlessness the obstacle to child-bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the woman. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is to restore restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character, but more often of a medical character, treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where children are desired and are absent, an effort to restore and out the real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper treatment. In all the various weaknesses, displacements, prolapse, inflammation and debilitating, catarral drains and in all cases of nervousness and debility, Dr. Pierce's Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can possibly be had. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands of cures—more in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through druggists, especially for woman's use. The ingredients of which the "Favorite Prescription" is composed have received the most medical attention from the leading medical writers on Medical Media, the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so that any woman making use of this famous medicine may know exactly what she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes his patients into his confidence, which he can afford to go as the formula after which the "Favorite Prescription" is made will bear the most careful examination. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best and safest laxative for women. W. N. U.—DENVER—7-1905.

My trouble was eruption of the skin, which broke out in spots all over my body, and caused a continual itching which nearly drove me wild at times. I got medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure me, and when I saw in a paper your ad, I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and was completely cured. I had suffered for two years, and I again thank Cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson, Maple Grove Farm, R. F.

Fishing is going to be unusually good along the lines of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad in the next two or three years. It is good every summer, because for some years past the streams have been systematically stocked all over the state, but it is bound to be better. More was done in that direction in 1905 than ever before. Maj. S. K. Hooper has been having some figures made showing the number of fish put out. In the year 1904 the road transported and helped place 6,326,000 young trout in the streams. Of these 3,930,000 came from the state hatchery. Last year the Denver & Rio Grande distributed 7,669,000 young fish in Colorado and Utah. Of these 2,967,000 came from the state hatcheries and 4,702,000 came from the government hatchery at Leadville. The fish are put in when about two inches long and big enough to care for themselves. They were about equally divided as between native, brook and rainbow trout. The distribution in the streams was as follows: A BOY'S BREAKFAST There's a Natural Food That Makes Its Own Way. There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, N. Y., who is growing into sturdy manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape-Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to frequent attacks of indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food."

HO A TRAINED NURSE Mrs Martha Pohlman Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall. Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs. Polhill writes: "I am firmly persuaded, with eight years of experience with Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use." "I immediately after my marriage I found that my wife came weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful backaches and frequent dizzy spells. The doctors prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I would bleat because I had frequent become, masseured." pains down through my limbs so I could hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Since that time I have had possession to recommend it to a woman of position to treat them all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to recommend a patent medicine, I can honestly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for I have found that it cures female ills, where all other medicine fails. It is a grand medicine for sick women." Money cannot buy such testimony as this—merit alone can produce such results, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most universally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, exitta- bility, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste. The pain is cured and the money is saved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is well for women who are ill to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant for many years before her decease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women. In her great experience, which covers many years, she has probably had to deal with dozens of cases just like yours. Her advice is strictly confidential. OUND Succeeds Where Others Fall.

It can't be truthfully said that hats are improving any in grace, and it must be confessed that a large number are decidedly outre and even uncoath—well calculated to make a woman look her worst instead of her best, as a truly good hat should, says a writer in the New York Herald. As a rule, American women are too careless in the coiffing of their hair to look well under most of the Parisian confections. Tag ends and ruffled locks do not go well with the tilted hat that rises with appalling abruptness from the coiffure to tower far above it, leaving the base exposed in the most uncompromising fashion, this base comprising almost the entire head of the hapless wearer. The habit of marcel waving the hair is not only bad for the hair itself as to growth and strength, but it inevitably breaks off the hair, causing more and more tag ends. In Paris they use liquid preparations for keeping the hair smooth, and also the large meshed nets made of natural hair, these so carefully arranged that they confine all the stray ends and yet themselves are not visible under casual inspection. Without these adjuncts or a net veil the lofty, tilted hats should be wholly abjured, for there is neither comfort nor style in them unless properly worn and with the proper accompaniments. A Black velvet and white cloth with silver embroidered lace. Little Things About Collars. A dainty idea in neckwear is shown on a turndown collar of embroidered linen fastened up the front with three little pink bows, the top one of palest hue, the next one deepr, and the lowest of deepest rose, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Ribbon is put to many uses in neckwear. A white lace stock with a jabot of delicate white lace ribbon, laid in plaits and finished on ends with chiffon ruffles, is suggestive. Shoulder collars in lace are not all so deep as they were. The newest are run with little traceries of gold thread, outlining the design. It is an easy matter to buy the gold thread and embroider it upon such deep collars as one happens to have. And if one wishes the collar for very elaborate purposes, there are to be bought tiny gold tassels with which to decorate its edges. Of Willow-Green Henrietta. A charming gown of willow-green heirietta depends upon a creamy lace that has the design elaborated with silk embroideries for its adornment. The skirt is one of those novel princess affairs, reaching up to the bust, and the front displaying that fashionable tablier effect which gives such an air of height and slenderness. The face serves as a vandyked heading to a circular flounce and a snappy little bolero is used for outdoor wear to top the gown with. To Shine the Windows. Dusty windows are distracting. For cleaning windows use clean, cold water and two chamois leathers, one for washing the glass and the other for polishing. The latter should be kept dry and soft. See that the wash leathers are quite clean and do not make the glass so wet that the water drips from it. Have plenty of clean water and change it frequently. Dip the chamois in this and rub the panes, taking care that the corners are not forgotten. Wring the cloth tightly, and go over the surface of the glass a second time. Then polish with the other wash leather. Linen or cotton cloths should not be used. During frost the least touch of the hand is liable to crack the glass. To keep the windows free from frost apply a little glycerine on a dry duster and a brilliant polish will be the result. Popular in Paris There is a strong vogue for little short and loose coats, coats that are not supposed to, or intended to match the gown in any particular, but are of the dressiest character. Parisian "createurs de la mode" are turning them out in heavy silks, preferably of delicate tints, and those are braided and embroidered after the most intricate designs. Originally they were intended as carriage coats, but so pop- ular have they proved that one sees them on the promenade as well as on the drive. They are merely loose little sacques, of almost negligee outline, cut down at the throat—although some have ben seen with a high Napoleon collar in embroidered velvet of contrasting tint—and ending just below the waist line. The sleeve, of course, is short and puffy. The latest caprice has those lined in white satin, over which a plisse printed chiffon is tacked, so that when the little coat blows open, for there are no fastenings save below the throat, this displays itself. Boudoir Confidences The rage for beads runs merrily on. Pompadour ribbon garters are pretty. Every other hat is loaded with plumes. Bows of plaited tulle are again worn under the chin. Handbags of old tapestry are among the prettiest seen. The green hat and the gray gown get along well together. The newest vel trailis off at the back in loops and bows. Belt buckles have mounted the front by several inches. Coats of caracul fur dyed the color of the gown are a novelty. A dainty stock of white silk forget-me-nots painted on it. Embroider your gold belt in colors if you wish to be distinctive. Silk and Velvet Coats Silk and velvet coats are made in all lengths from boleros to Louis models, whose ample skirts reach almost to the bottom of the dress skirt. Some of the very latest models, however, bowing to the empire fad, have short fronts reaching only to the high empire waist line. One model is given this effect by a band of the material bengaline, holding in the fullness at empire waist length. The long skirt reaches almost to bottom of gown and the only foreign trimming is a large collar and deep cuffs of fur, the latter filled in with flounce of white Irish lace. It is lined throughout with white satin.—New York Herald. Japanese Belts. Japanese belts make the prettiest sort of dress-up girdles for wearing with your best blouses. These are not those gorgeous affairs—a tangle of vivid oriental colors—but are exquisite all-white ones, with wee lily pads or cherry blossoms embroidered in a half-deep way on a background of rich, heavy silk ribbon. The belt makes a mighty attractive setting for the buckle it is worn with, and is quite as important an adjunct in its way. To: Wash Chiffon. It is quite easy to wash and iron the better kinds of chiffon, and make it look as good as new. Make a lather with soap powder in warm water, float the chiffon in this for about ten minutes; do not rub, but fold carefully between the hands, and squeeze gently two or three times. Then place it between the folds of a clean soft towel and press in it until most of the moisture is absorbed. Iron on the wrong side while still damp, and the chiffon will be quite glossy and fresh again. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Finger marks on doors look very unsightly, but they may easily be removed with a little borax and water. White gloves cleaned promptly after each wearing will last indefinitely. If the stains are allowed to dry on they become permanent. Common burlap, either painted or stenciled, makes a good, cheap floor covering for chambers, being especially adapted to summer cottages or bungalows. B. L. C. C. Mauve velvet with mauve tips. White lace ruffle and heliotrope velvet around crown. White beaver with pink roses under the brim and black ostrich feathers. If a cloth be wring out of water and laid over the registers when removing the ashes the annoyance of dust flying over the rooms from the furnace will be done away with. A delicious little sweet for one's friends in the evening is whipped cream, stirred full of powdered macaron crumbs and flavored with a little sherry. Serve this very cold. Charm of Wrap Is Simplicity Evening wraps in pale colored cloths are far more elegant when quite untrimmed, as the smart ones prove. Peach-pink, sulphur-yellow, opal-green and pink-coral shades are examples of the beauty derived from graceful long lines with only a finish of stitching, which is kept subordinate by being of the same colored silk as the cloth, says Vogue. To break the loveliness of the colors by trimmings, as we did formerly, was happily discovered to have been inartic. In a wrap color is first and foremost. Where trimming is to be prominent, it must be something quite out of the ordinary to create admiration. So it is that fur and lace, if really fine, are the choicest adornments that one may give to such luxurious garments. Next to those are the oriental embroideries in gold, silver and silk. Lace Waist in Empire Style Empire waist of white lace plaited at the shoulders, then made with groups of gathers, or shirrings, forming little headings. The collar is embroidered velvet. Useful. Dressy Gown. Dainty womankind likes a soft, fuzzy gown. Crepe de chine is a very good material to use for matinee or room gowns. It washes perfectly and is light and soft to the touch. During the midwinter sales a good enough quality of crepe de chine may be purchased as low as 50 cents a yard. Other materials in which these garments are seen are pongee, surah louisine, cashmere, light wools and flannels. Lingerie Princess Type. The type of lingerie princess known to Parisians as the bebe figures among the loveliest of the new models. it clings to the figure on the sides and in the back, but in the front is slightly full, or, to speak more accurately, straight, following the line that might be called an exaggerated straight front corset line, below the bust, and making no preference of curving in to the figure at the waist line.—New York Sun. Tea Muffins One egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder sifted, with flour. I generally use 1 cup of flour, sometimes a little less, or a little more. Grate in a little nutmeg and beat well so they will be nice and light. Choker Revivers The stock of the hour is very high. Ear-tickling heights have been reached by the up-to-date collar, which, at its best, is shaped at the top to point upward slightly at the ears and curve to suit the chin. These high stocks are the successors of the modest straight bands that were so satiny and comfortable on lovely frocks. Black velvet hat with black and white bird and white bird of Paradise.
