PATRONIZE THE MERCHANTS THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MOB RULE In South Carolina Reviewed Editorially by the Washington Star, of Washington, D. C. New View Of September 22nd. VOL. XII. MOB In South Carolina Reviewed Star, of Wash New View Of It was the fiery Southerner who, upon his return home from New York, related an experience in the metropolis. He had ordered a full dinner, expecting to pay a dollar or so for it, as at home, and was thunderstruck when the Negro waiter presented a bill for ten dollars and a few cents for it. "And what did you do?" inquired a friend. Do, sir? Why, there was but one thing for a gentleman to do. I killed the niggah and paid the bill. Evidently those South Carolina lynchers thought there was but one thing to do. They heard the governor and killed the "nigger." It must have been a curious scene, with the governor of the state pleading for the law he was powerless to enforce, and the lynchers deferring their work just long enough to be polite to the official. They received his remarks with perfect good nature, and even cheered them. It was as if they were saying in reply: "My dear sir, we well understand that you owe it to your place to utter this patter, and permit us to say that you do it in good style. But the civilization of South Carolina for the moment is in our keeping, and of course is decided. So, hey to you; good day to you. The nigger dies right now." Governor Heyward's speech was not in the best key. But his position was trying, and he knew that nothing he might say would avail. He has called the attention of the prosecuting officer to the tragedy and asked for action against the offenders. But nothing will come of it. Men who felt safe in breaking the law in the presence of the governor are safe from punishment in their home community, where, if trials are ever had, the juries will be selected. If the governor were to appear there and address the juries in favor of conviction he would be handsomely received and roundly cheered, but she indicted men all the same would go free. The Negroes of the community, we are told, indorse the mob. It is to their credit that they speak in abhorrence of the crime committed by the mob's victim, but it adds materially to the gravity of the situation when the ignorant --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo PATRO COLORA WHO ADVERT RULE Editorially by the Washington hington, D.

They may in time take the law into their hands, and mete out their idea of "justice;" and if they shall will they, too, be immune from punishment? Why not? The law in force is no respector of persons. In a community where the mob rules shall any person be required to respect the law? NEW VIEW OF SEPTEMBER 22ND In the flourishing town of Rendville, Ohio, the people are preparing to celebrate on the 22nd of September the Emancipation of the Slaves. This is not in itself singular or necessarily worthy of more than passing notice. This celebration, however, differs from all others in that the people, white and colored, are to be equal participants. When the public meeting was called to arrange for the celebration, a number of citizens of both races attended. Mr. John L. Jones, post master, and for years a prominent business man, was called upon for his views. He said, "I am not willing to sssist in celebrating the 22nd of September unless all of the citizens participate. The proclamation of Lincoln not only freed the black slaves, but the white slaves as well. Slave labor degraded all labor as slavery degraded all men. The fact that labor had to compete with slavery kept the poor white man in ignorance and poverty. The proclamation freed all labor and all laboring men. Made work the key note to honorable success and on that account, I think we should all keep the 22nd of September." After Mr. Jones sat down several other business men spoke in support of the position set forth by the first speaker. A committee was formed composed of six white and six black men. That committee is at work raising money securing speakers for the occasion. The white citizens everywhere have always showed a kindly interest in Emancipation Day. They have been exceedingly interested in helping with their means to make the colored man's day a success, but this is the first time to our knowledge that white men have willingly enlisted to make our day a success, --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1906. upon the principle that it belongs all Americans. Mr. John L. Jones is to be congulated for making real what other men of his race have only thought about and the broad spirited Americanism exhibited by the white citizens of Rendville is to also be commended. The Civil war freed the slave, emancipated labor and gave to our land freedom from tribute to all the rest of the world in literature, the arts and sciences. While the incidents of July 4th started the nation on a new and untried road, it was the history that centers around emancipation day that helped this nation to find its true self and start anew to work out an independent destiny. Let all the nation which now acknowledges Lincoln as the greatest president, join in making September 22nd the greatest day in the calendar of the country's holidays. BISHOP GALLOWAY Electrified an Audience in a Scholarly Address on the Negro Question. Bishop Galloway of the M. E. church South, and a resident of Mississippi, electrified the audience at Winona Lake, Miss., by a scholarly and statesman-like address on the Negro question. He declared that the problem was one for all of us to solve, because the Negro is not an intruder, he has become a native. "He was so desired that he was sent for," said the Bishop, "and I hope he will stay. If he goes, so will I." He ridiculed the idea that the white race is imperiled by the dominance of the blacks. The latter are teachable and are Christians. This is not a question for narrow party, for non-resident theories, or academic philosophy. It is a question for practical liking. Bishop Galloway scouted the idea of reformation by the hatchet or mob violence and earnestly asserted that the problem must find its solution in the education and uplifting of this people.—Freeman. Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 13. Three persons were wounded Saturday night on a crowded electric car bound for a suburban summer resort, when a Negro refused to give his seat to a white woman. Sheriff Seth Dinwoody of Red River county, Texas, requested the Negro to relinquish his seat, and when the Negro refused, Dinwoodie drew a pistol. In striking the Negro on the head the weapon was discharged. A bullet struck Miss Beulah Hudgins, passing through the left shoulder. The same bullet wounded R. F. Horni in the left arm. Mrs. Mary Williams was hurt by the pistol flying out of the hands of the sheriff and striking her in the face. Dinwoodie was arrested. Highly Endorsed Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, Member of Executive Board of Peoples Sunday Alliance, is Selected by a Caucas of Prominent Negroes as their Choice as Candidate for the State Lelislature. A large body of representative colored citizens met in caucus last Wednesday night at the office of The Colorado Statesman, and unanimously adopted the following preamble and resolutions: The people of Colorado are now again confronted with another political campaign of tremendous significance as it relates to the future destinies of our beloved state. In this * HON. JOS. H. STUART. fierce conflict no patriotic citizen can be indifferent or lukewarm. The two old parties are each marshalling their forces and bending every energy, as never before, to secure victory, while other aggregations of voters composed of "reformers" (so called) and the dissatisfied elements of all parties are organizing and arraying themselves in a solid and formidable body for the fray. In this crisis no party can win, no party ought to win, that would commit the blunder of failing to record fair and substantial recognition to any considerable and well-defined class of its constituency. In this triangular fight all parties are agreed as to where the great mass of the colored voters will be naturally aligned. They are not, however, so sure whether that element will receive such treatment as their voting strength and loyalty demand, if the record of the last general election is regarded as a criterion. The colored people believe that by virtue of their voting strength and fidelity to the Republican party they are entitled at each general election to have a member of the race on the legislative ticket of that party. They demand that he be a representative man, one who by virtue of education, character, experience and general qualifications is fit and will be an honor both to the particular constituency he represents and the general body of citizens. It is the judgment of this caucus and of the citizens whose names are hereunto subscribed that Attorney Joseph H. Stuart most fully measures up to the above requirements and best meets the conditions of political availability. We therefore recommend that he be a candidate on the legislative ticket and earnestly urge his nomination by the coming Republican county convention. Joseph D. D. Rivers, L. A. Davis, James J.

Rockefeller's wealth he would bet a million Joe Gans wallops Battling Nelson into insensibility in six rounds out in Goldfield on Labor day. Sullivan says he never did like a Negro, but admits he is compelled to select Gans because he thinks he is the better man. "Gans ought to come home on the bit," says the once mighty John L. "I never liked a Negro as a fighting man and, to be perfectly frank, I'd just as soon see Nelson win, but I don't think he can. Gans is the greatest lightweight the ring ever saw. He could lick them all in their best day. Gans is easily the fastest and cleverest man of his weight in the world. He can hit like a mule kicks with either hand. He is there with the coolness and ring generalship, and I think he has it on Bat this time. Gans' record is shady like himself. Against my sentiments I pick Gans in six rounds by a knockout, but I hope the other fellow wins." Annual Meeting of Negro Journalists. The Western Negro Press Association will hold its next annual meeting in the City of Colorado Springs, Colo., on September 20, 21, 1906.

Tn the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 2809 and that its first occupant was President Madison, The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800, , The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1Si4 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the ‘White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself and wondered that “canned” paint should be used on such an iniportant building when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and linseed ofl—not ready- mixed paint—were used on the White House, because I had just read a book- let published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manu- facture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but “the best and purest of paint could be used,” and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material.

It is illustrative of the marvelous fe- cundity of the English sparrow. “I was pending Sunday with the Dumont Smiths, at Kinsley,” said Van, in recounting his experience. “We had been up late the night be- fore and I was a trifle drowsy. I sat out on the front porch listening to the church bells and gazing off into the filimitable space that lies between a shortgrass town and the horizon beyond. “Preseatly I dropped my hat into a bed of virginia creeper and dozed off to slcep. I could not have slept more than an hour, for the children were passing the house on the way from Sunday school when I awoke. I rubbed my eyes and glanced over at my hat. In it sat an English spar- row brooding a setting of eggs. While I slept the sparows had built a nest in my hat, the mother bird had laid a full complement of eggs and had be- gun the work of hatching them.’— Kansas City Journal. GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take “tonics and stimu lants” under such circumstances 1s like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes re- freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says: “For about three years I had been a ‘great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medi. cine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnaw. ing feeling would start up, and 1 would yomit everything I ate and drank. “When I started on Grape-Nuts yomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. “My mother was very much both ered with diarrhea before commenc ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom. ach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she 4s well, and says she don’t think she could live without it. “It 8 a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a “bad stomach.” ‘There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night’s sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape- Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There's a reason.” ASIA CIGARS.

WISCONSIN JUDGE’S AWARD to Be Illegal—Law Furnishes Rem- edy for Injury to Business, Racine, Wis.—Union labor was dealt a heavy blow by the decision of Judge Chester A. Fowler in the boycott suit for $25,000 damages brought by a baker, Otto B. — Schlutze, against the ‘Trades Labor Coun: cil, Benjamin Dressen and others. By the decision the contract exacted from the boss bakers by the union men in an effort to enforce the closed shop is held illegal; trades council and the individual members are enjoined from using the “unfair list;” the boycott is declared mn actionable conspiracy to accomplish a criminal or unlawful pur- pose; Baker Schlutze is allowed to re- cover damages of $2,500 for the loss ot profits from the time of the commence: ment of the boycotting acts up to the ‘time of the trial, and $3,500 in damages for the amount of injury to his busi- ness and property in relatfon to its selling value. The decision is in part as follows: “All boss bakers of the city signed this agreement except the plaintit who has steadfastly refused to do s0. Upon the plaintiff's refusing to sign, concerted attack upon his business was begun by organ- ized labor with the object and purpose of compelling him, against his will, to sign the contract and has been maintained with more or {ess vigor up to the present time. “The plaintiff has suffered a perma- nent end all but destructive injury to his business, which has been caused by the combined acts and tne attitude of organized labor. “An injury to one’s business and trade is on the same footing as an in- jury to his tangible property, and the law furnishes a remedy for one a3 well as the other. “The acts complained of are, in my view, plainly in violation of section 466 A, Wisconsin statutes of 1898, as con- strued by the Supreme Court. This statute makes any two or more per- sons who shall combine, associate, mu- tually undertake or concert together for the purpose of wilfully or mali- -ciously injuring another, his trade or business, by any means whatever, or for the purpose of maliciously compel- ling another to do or perform any act against his will, guilty of an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment. “This contract was in itself an il legal contraction in that it would by its terms obligate the plaintiff to em. ploy union labor only as distinguished from non-union labor, {t would obligate him to maintain a ‘closed shop as dis tinguished from an ‘open’ shop.” POSTAL CLERKS’ UNION. Will Have Attention of Postoffice anette Sei: years Chicago—Postmaster Fred A. Busse, of Chicago, will leave for Washington to consult with the authorities on the formation of a national labor union of postal clerks in affiliation with tie American Federation of Labor. ‘The announcement made Monday that such an organization had been formed caused surprise in government circles. Mr, Busse declared he had no idea such a step was contemplated by the clerks. “It the national union conducts its business along the same iines as the Chicago local has done in the past, it is my personal opinion that there will be no objection to it,” said Mr. Busse. “The union has been in existence in Chicago for a number of years. Its officers from time to time haye called attention to certain grievances which they have a right to do and which we haye tried to remedy to the best ot our ability. Of course, if the new union follows the lines of some labor or- ganizations and attempts to set wages and werking conditions there might be a hitch, as the laws governing the de- partment are inflexible.” E. B. Goltra, president of the Na- tional Federation of Postoffice Gierks, said the new union would not ‘n any way antagonize heads of departments, nor act contrary to the established rules. “There is nothing in our oath of ailegiance to the government,” he said, “that forbids us joining a labor union for our mutual benefit. We un: derstand that any improvement in our condition must come through legisla- tion, and we expect to have the sup- port of organized labor in trying to secure such legislation. If we cannot directly appeal to congress on our own behalf we must do so indirectly, and this we expect to do through the leg- islativo committee of the American Federation of Labor and of the various central lator bodies throughout the country. Talk of defying President Roosevelt or striking against the gov- ernment ig puerile, and has never been contemplated by us.” Flight of an Airship.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. It was indeed gratifying to the voters to know that Hon. G. Q. Richmond has announced himself as a candidate for District Judge, subject to the rules of the Republican convention. Mr. Richmond is an attorney of unquestionable ability and his wise counsel is on a par with the best. No stronger and better man for this position could be found and his selection by the convention means a guarantee that he will be triumphantly elected. He is not only a favorite of the colored voters but of the general suffrage of the public. He is a broad and fair-minded man with no impartial favors, and this is the kind of a judge that the public should have on the bench. We heartily endorse Mr. Richmond for the place. UNPLEASANT ADVERTISING The Negroes of Denver are getting too much advertising in the press of our city. Publicity that does not do him any credit. The pictures of Negroes when seen in the local press are mostly associated with crimes, murders and sensaions. During August, space in the Denver press has been given to 4 murders and cuts of principals and victims have appeared in print. Unfortunately this side of our life is receiving most prominent public attention and the impression is raised that the Negro is engaged in little than the spread of crime. Not even are our women spared entanglement. The Hayden-Adams killing involves the reputation of a woman and the Ernest Shaffer affair is not free from suspicion of a like nature. It may be as Mr. DuBois says, in his address to the country, that the Negro is not more lawless than whites but he is more often arrested and convicted." This may be true but still the impression grows that the Negro is getting more publicity in the criminal annals than they ought to and that he is not a safe moral proposition. The COLORADO STATESMAN regrets this increasing advertisement of Negro vice and crime and calls upon the people of Denver and Colorado to use their best endeavors to have it decreased. We are getting before the public too regularly and too frequently in proportion to our numbers and something ought to be done to lessen this condition. Not only the churches, newspapers and Peoples Sunday Alliance ought to wage a crusade against the carnival of crimes but each individual citizen who has the welfare of the race and city at heart ought to cry out strongly against it. There are altogether too many guns carried. OUT OF TOUCH. One of the greatest disadvantages of living West of the Mississippi river is the separation by contact from the leaders of great movements that are stirring, edu cating and inspiring members of the Negro race. There has been held this year three great conventions in which colored representatives of Colorado and the West were not present. We therefore must depend upon our colored press for the facts and knowledge of the proceedings. The first was the Young Peoples Christian and Educational Congress held the first of August at Washington, D.C. and which was reported recently in the columns of this paper. This gathering did much good and made some serious mistakes which reflects upon the Aesthetic capacity and mental constriction at the highest point of efficiency but we are sure that the Congress which is young will profit by age and experience. The other important gathering where the Negro of the West was not represented was the Niagra Movement which met in second annual conference in the Storer College campus at Harpers Ferry, Va., the scene of stirring events in anti-bellum and bellum days. Many of the most prominent men and women of the race from all parts of the world took part in the proceedings. The address to the country printed in full in the Denver papers was sensible, sane and clean. It is unfortunate that the West could not be represented at this high toned and intelligent gathering of the best brain and clearest thinking people among us. The last great gathering where the West is not likely to be represented is the Afro-American Council which meets in New York City Oct. 9th 10th and 11th. The West misses the inspiration and high toned sentiment instilled by these bodies. No report or editorial we may give our readers (we give as good as can be had) can take the place or do the good that eye witnesses, auditors and delegates could receive. It is poor judgment and still poorer economy, not to encourage our business men and women to attend these gatherings. Contact of mind with mind, acquaintance, viewpoints, vision and exchange of experience is worth much. The COLORADO STATESMAN attempts to bring the news of these gatherings to your careful attention but cold type can never be a substitute for living voice, animation and contact. We advise in the future that the West seek to benefit by having representatives at these great meetings. ADDRDESS TO THE COUNTRY. Have you read the address to the Country prepared and delivered by members of the Niagra movement in session at Harpers Ferry? The Denver papers published it in full, cut it out, paste it in your scrap book, compare it with the first address delivered a year ago, not only read it but study it, think over each statement, one by one. Sit down with it or sit up with it and then say if it is not a full free, candid and fair demand of earnest, intelligent and clear minded American citizens. Could we ask any less, could we ask any more? Will any political party think less of us as a race for telling the truth? will any of our friends do less for our thoughtful relation of the condition? will any politicians or section of the country be less favorable to us for speaking the unvarnished facts? We think not, but if they do, then it will have to be so. This is a fight where the Negro must cut loose from all and stand on his own responsibility and manhood. It is men and women with ideas that move the world. Great changes and reformations have been inaugurated by individual efforts inspired by diety and this seems to be the proceedure of this address. Mere abstractions are in effect like moonbeams kissing a rock but ideas like truth and liberty provided with a brain and heart, with eyes and hands and feet is bound to make its power felt. This address ought to be studied until its spirit has permeated the intellect and soul of each member of the race. If you wish to do some missionary work on race salvation and elevation you can get copies of this address into the hands of people who will study it. Again we say, study this address, its brevity, strength and language as well as its meaning, application, purpose and power will repay the time and meditation you put upon it. Discuss it with your friends. It ought to become a classic. A TIME FOR COURAGE AND INTELLIGENT VOTING IN COLORADO. Because the present governor of Colorado was not elected by the people, and the claim of some fraudulent voting in the franchise cases now in our courts; is that any reason that we, the citizens of this great state should be discouraged, so far as the integrity of the state is concerned? The governor of the state, so far as he is individually concerned, came honestly into the high office he now occupies and is an honorable man and should be honored and respected in the office he now occupies. He is not the governor of one party alone, but is the governor of the whole people of the state, and as such should be honored and sustained in his office. The fact having been ascertained that fraudulent votes have been cast by wicked and designing men in our beloved city of Denver is certainly a cause of deep regret on the part of honest voters, but when trouble arises among us, either religiously or politically, the thing for us to do is to get rid of the evil in the best way possible. It is not the part of the wise men in time of difficulty to sit with folded arms and say we are ruined and do nothing to extricate themselves. By courage and right voting we may extricate ourselves from political corruption. What we need is confidence in our leaders. Should we say that they are all corrupt and can be bought out and we remain at home on election day, instead of going to the polls and casting an honest ballot? We would greatly err in judgment and do ourselves and our country great injustice. We should not look on our party leaders as political bosses, but we should look on them as being willing and able to carry out the will of the people in making and executing good laws. Good laws are not to be made and executed by the leaders alone or by the people alone, but by all combined—each having faith and confidence in the integrity of the other.

Mo., Aug. 15.—Following a series of whippings, which has precipitated a race war, the Negroes of Silex, six miles from here, are selling their property and fleeing. Any Negro found in the place Saturday night is to be flogged, it is said. The trouble is the outgrowth of a whipping which Negroes gave James Edleman's nine-year-old son last week Last Saturday a party of white, in retaliation, seized a Negro and whipped him. Later the boy's mother was whipped in a warehouse. Henry Pearson, the proprietor of the Royal Victoria Hotel at Ashville, N.

The Victoria is run exclusively for the accomodation of Negroes. The Watchman of Austin, Tex., says: "An incident occurred in this city last week which is a sample of Southern justice. A white man and a black man got in an altercation at the depot. The white man cursed the black one, who had him promptly arrested. There were five witnesses, all colored who swore they heard the vile language used. The man arrested put his word against the five and protested he did not. The judge believed him and turned him loose. He in turn through spite and revenge, had the five arrested for solicitating baggage. The judge again accepted the white man's word and fined the Negroes. And there are those who have the audacity to say that the colored men receive justice in the courts of the land." BOYS' SCHOOL SUITS We show the grandest line of these goods we have ever assembled.

They are contented because their surroundings are ideal and, until recently, the great, uneasy, disquieting world, with its artificial needs and inadequate compensations, has been to them but little more tangible than a dream. Here, still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more delectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with irresistible force to the independent-spirited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the supreme ruler of his own little principality; acknowledging no master save the law—and possibly his feminine helpmeet; cringing to no employer; asking no favors from the world, save those that his neighbors freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it is a question whether he more than dimly realizes the fact. He accepts as a matter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultivable growth common to the north temperate zone, the surrounding forests of valuable woods and the underlying stratas of precious minerals, the springs and streams of translucent purity on every hand, the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as less favored mortals annually travel hundreds of miles to find. He is contented, but small credit is his for that, for how could he well be otherwise than content? It is sad that such idealistic conditions may not continue, but it is written that the present possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others appreciative of its incomparable features. A railroad has recently cut its way through the best of this region, and the unaccustomed rustle of bank notes and chink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been in the world's history—the good things that are curs without price invariably pass from our hands before we come to understand their value. The White River country will shortly be discovered anew by a class of immigrants better capable of judging its possibilities—the men who seek modest homes where the "lay of the land" will effectually prevent crowding by too close neighbors, where their cattle can fatten on free range, where the wealth of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer enjoyable recreation to all who have secure and inclination for sport.

TUMORSCONQUERED Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. Mrs. Fannie D. Fox So-called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made manifest by profuse monthly periods, accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice if you will write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising stok women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so bad that I submitted a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. "Soon after I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After taking five bottles and directed the tumor a physician, I have been examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well."—Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa. PIKE CENTENNIAL PROGRAM OF COLORADO SPRINGS CELEBRATION. EXTENDS OVER SEVEN DAYS Monument to Be Unveiled—Military Parade—Pioneers' Day—Historical Day and Parade—Chorus of One Thousand Voices—Illumination of Pike's Peak. Colorado Springs, Colo.—An outline of the program to be observed in Colorado Springs the last week in September indicates that the centenary celebration planned will be the greatest of the kind ever held in the country. The one hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Pike's Peak is the occasion, and the military and civic features give ample range for novel effects. The executive committee has taken every advantage of the unique conditions to arrange a spectacle that will appeal to all. In addition to the military displays, parades, war dances, cowboy sports, etc., there will be polo, golf and automobile tournaments. The program has been arranged to present an allegorical picture of the state from the advent of General Pike to the present day. It will be of peculiar interest to the people of the East, many of whom yet entertain the idea that Colorado is the home of only the buffalo and savage Indian tribes. The celebration will serve to demonstrate to the entire country that Colorado, although one of the youngest states, is one of the greatest in the Union. One of the most unique monuments in history will be unveiled during the celebration. Under the auspices of the Zebulon Montgomery Pike Monument Association, a huge mass of granite weighing nearly fifty tons will be erected to permeate the deeds of General Pike, who discovered the peak one hundred years ago. The great boulder will tower sixteen feet in the air and will contain tablets on four sides with appropriate inscriptions. It measures five feet square at the base and was found directly in the path that Pike took to reach the peak bearing his name. It is not unlikely that the great soldier-explorer saw his future monument in his toilsome journey up the steep mountain side. This style monument was selected by the committee as being typical of both the rugged Pike's Peak region and of the sturdy character of its first explorer, General Pike. Nature has fashioned the boulder into shape suitable for a monument, and it seems peculiarly fitting that an emblem of this character should be chosen to tell the world of Pike and his achievements. Sunday, September 23d.—Appropriate services in all churches in the state commemorative of the highly moral and religious life of Pike. Monday, September 24th—Military Day—Parade of United States troops, G. A. R. veterans, Spanish-American War veterans, national guard, cadets and patriotic societies, polo tournament in afternoon and military reception in evening by Gov. Jesse F. McDonald. Tuesday, September 25th—Pioneer Day—Exercises by early settlers under auspices of pioneer societies of state. Golf tournament in afternoon and reception to ploneers in evening. Wednesday, September 26th—Historical Day—Civic and industrial parade, illustrating progress of state. Uncovering of great tablet on summit of Pike's Peak under auspices of Colorado College. National historians to participate. Polo and golf tournaments in the afternoon; reception in evening. Thursday, September 27th — Pike Day—Unveiling of huge granite block in Antlers park. Rendition of Centennial ode by chorus of one thousand voices. Daughters of Revolution and federal clubs of state to participate. Military review in afternoon and reception to government officials, diplomats, attaches, etc., in evening. Friday, September 28th — Colorado Day—Parade of military, veterans, Indians, cowboys, fraternal societies, patriotic societies, etc. Automobile endurance run from Denver to Colorado Springs. Evening reception to prominent citizens of the state. Saturday September 29th — Centennial Day—Military demonstrations, automobile maneuvers, reunion Sons of Colorado, and other patriotic societies.

New York.—A financial battle, with $25,000,000 in cash and the control of the Chicago, Milwaukee& St. Paul railway system, is on between J. Pierpont Morgan and E. H. Harriman. In the battle are involved twice as many millions of dollars and three times as many thousands of miles of railroad as were represented in the famous fight for possession of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which resulted in the memorable Northern-Pacific corner, when the price of that stock was rushed up to $1,000 a share and a panic in Wall street followed. The opposing forces consist of J. P. Morgan, James J. Hill and their friends, foreign capitalists, on one side, and E. H. Harriman, practical owner of the Union-Southern Pacific roads, with Sir William Van Horne, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, as controllers of the vast Canadian Pacific system, with their friends, on the other. Remaining neutral for the time being, but inclined to throw their weight to Harriman, are James H. Smith and William Rookefeller, as principal stockholders in the St. Paul. On the outcome of the war depends whether the St. Paul road is to be extended to the coast, for which purpose a $25,000,000 new stock issue was voted, in a northerly direction, and so seriously injure the traffic of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems, or southerly, to impair the future profits of the Union and Southern Pacific. COLORADO MAN ELECTED. Edward Keating President League of Press Clubs. Denver.—Edward Keating, president of the Denver Press Club and managing editor of the Denver News, was elected president of the International League of Press Clubs at Corona Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Keating has lived in Denver most of his life. He is a young man, but has made great strides in his profession. He has the loyal support of all of the delegates. The delegates filled a train Wednesday morning at the Moffat depot bound for Conora. The president, T. J. Keenan of Pittsburg, called the delegates to order and announced that the reports of the various committees had been received. The nominating committee returned the name of Mr. Keenan as the only candidate for re-election as president of the organization. Mr. Keenan then declared that he did not want to hold the office longer, and asked that Mr. Keating be elected. The election of Mr. Keating was unanimous. Lewis G. Early of the Reading, Pennsylvania, Times, was re-elected secretary, and St. George Kempson of the New York Insurance Journal, treasurer. The vice presidents elected are: George J. Brennan, Philadelphia Inquirer; Jackson D. Haag, Pittsburg Post; Elden Small, Detroit Times, and Mrs. Ada Cable, Bradford, Pennsylvania, Herald. The resolutions committee reported as follows: "Resolved, That we, the delegates assembled in annual convention at Denver, Colorado, hereby express our deep appreciation of the generous reception given to us by the Denver Press Club, by the people of Denver and Colorado, which manifested itself in unprecedented hospitality and kind treatment, and that we include in this expression of our regard the governor of Colorado, the mayor of Denver and the chamber of commerce, for the special courtesies extended by them, and that we further include in grateful remembrance the citizens of Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, Glenwood and Leadville, and that we recognize with thanks the consideration given to our convention by the newspapers of Denver in particular, and Colorado in general. "Resolved, That we note with satisfaction the influence of the International League of Press Clubs in the tendency of newspapers to approach a higher degree of accuracy in reporting important and minor events of public interest, and we pledge ourselves to further support this noticeable advancement of the public press. "Resolved, That we recognize the splendid courage of the people of the Pacific coast in their instant resumption of business activity, manifested under appalling visitation from earthquake and fire, and that in expressing this sentiment we extend fraternal and sympathetic greeting to the members of the press clubs of California, affected by the San Francisco catastrophe, and that we rejoice in the undaunted spirit shown by the newly-formed Writers' club of San Francisco. "Resolved, That we recommend that the principles of peace and arbitration should be the subject of lectures in public schools, colleges and universities. The league received notice that D. C. Willoughby of the Naturita Valley Land Company had donated 640 acres of land for a site for a national home for aged newspaper men. This followed the contribution of Simon Guggenheim of $2,500 for the erection of such a home. The idea of Mr. Willoughby is that 200 acres of the land shall be for a building site and the rest for orchards, which, he says, will produce from $30,000 to $40,000 per year. WILL EXPORT WHEAT. Colorado Durum Wheat Bought for European Markets. Fort Collins.—Prof. W. H. Olin, instructor in plant life at the Agricultural College, after an extensive correspondence and much feeling around among the exporters of Durum wheat has succeeded in interesting the I. Rosenbaum Grain Company of Chicago to the extent that the company has sent one of its buyers, Roy Campbell, to Fort Collins to look the situation over and find out how much Durum wheat can be obtained here. The Rosenbaum Grain Company has branch houses all over the United States and makes a specialty of exporting Durum wheat. Between 80,000 and 100,000 bushels of that grain has been raised in this county this year and the farmers have been worried to know how to dispose of it. The Rosenbaum company, however, will take all the Durum wheat grown in this and other Colorado counties and will ship it to Mediterranean ports via Galveston, Texas. Mr. Campbell bought 10,000 bushels of this wheat last Monday, to be delivered within the next fifteen days, and will buy all that is offered. He regards Colorado grown Durum wheat as of excellent quality and says his firm can market all of it that Colorado has to spare, having handled a large proportion of the 10,000,000 bushels exported from the United States last year. Fairbanks to Visit Colorado. Denver.—According to a telegram received by Congressman Robert Bonyne, Vice President Fairbanks will arrive in Denver Saturday morning, September 1st. He will stay in the city through the day and in the evening will leave for Boise, Idaho, where he is to deliver an address before the National Irrigation Congress. Thomas F. Walsh, now in Glenwood Springs, will meet the distinguished visitor at Colorado Springs and accompany him to Denver. When the vice president returns from Boise he will visit Mr. Walsh at Wolhurst for a few weeks. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Get at the Cause—Cure the Kidneys. Don't neglect backache. It warns you of trouble in the kidneys. Avert the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkín, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkin, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back whenever I stopped or lifted. The urine was badly disordered and for a long time I had attacks of gravel. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills the gravel passed out, and my back got well. I haven't had backache or bladder trouble since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Millburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Charity by Machinery. Poor Man—Wu'd ye be so kind, sir, as to stop a moment!

Mr. Highmind—I have recently been convinced of the folly of indiscriminate giving, and I now distribute by donations through the Business Men's Charity trust, organized for the purpose of investigating each case. I left a dollar with the secretary not five minutes ago. Go and tell him your story. Mr. Highmind (an hour later)—Ah! Did you go to the secretary, as I directed? "I did, sir, an' he gave me a five-cent piece wid a hole in it." "Yes, sir. I told him about your dollar, but he said the other 95 cents was kept for salaries an' expenses." —N. Y. Weekly. BABY COVERED WITH SORES. Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Unless Hands Were Tied—"Would Have Died But for Cuticura." "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

The shell and boilers of the new Cunarder being built at Wallsend, England, are said by Consul Metcalf to be constructed of the largest steel plates in the world. They are silicon steel, weighing ten tons each. The boilers alone will weigh over 1,000 tons. Massive ingots and slabs weighing 12 and 14 tons, are continually passing through the rolling mills there for this work. Wireless Telegraph in Canada. A De Forest wireless telegraph station is being constructed at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It will have a capacity of sending and receiving 600 miles over land and 2,000 miles over water in daytime. This system is being extended all through Canada and to the Pacific. DUBIOUS About What Her Husband Would Say. A Mich. woman tried Postum Food Coffee because ordinary coffee disagreed with her and her husband. She writes: "Hy husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework—both of us using coffee all the time, and realizing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious about what my husband would say—he was fond of coffee. "But I took coffee right off the table, and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble went away in two weeks after I began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was always half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless stuff, but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and when done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." The H. & H.

Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called cream of tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. On the contrary, alum is wholesome in proper quantities. This is undoubtedly the reason the State of Missouri quickly repealed a law that prohibited the manufacture of the most wholesome of all baking powders. So much for Alum Baking Powders. Italy's Silk Industry. In Italy there are cultivated every year 1,250,000 ounces of silkworm eggs, and there are produced 110,000,000 pounds of cocoons, having a total value, at to-day's prices, of $30,000,000. Lombardy produces a full half of this total. The Venetian provinces produce about one-fifth, and Piedmont about one-seventh. His Only Concern. A well known member of the New York bar, a man of most patronizing manner, one day met John G. Carlisle, to whom he observed loftily. "I see, Carlisle, that the supreme court has overruled you in the case of Mullins versus Jenkinson. But," he added, in his grand way, "you, Carlisle, need feel no concern about your reputation." Carlisle chuckled. "Quite so," he agreed. "I'm only concerned for the reputation of the supreme court."—Harper's Weekly.

It would hardly seem necessary to say that the woman over 40 is as free in her use of the white costume as the younger woman, for one at all in touch with the whirl of modern life has ocular demonstration every day of this fact, but those who do not live in the great cities, and do not have dressmakers who are constantly urging the wearing of clothes that grow younger and younger, need reassuring on this point. of women in your to the world and not a will find that if you will follow you. Linen is proving modish material for stantial waists, but pensive and for wo afford to pay high waists there are men and in the serviceable One of the most people have seen is one sleeves with collar or flap turn-down type. There is no denying that there has been a revolution in dress for elderly women. We say revolution, but perhaps it would be better to use the term revival, for women of ye olden time did not wear the somber clothes of the chimney corners because they were past 40. In fact in those days they led things with a high hand and set the fashions, and true it is that there is a suspicion that they dressed entirely too much for their age. And to-day there is heard the same kind of gossip, but there is no reason whatever for a young woman of 40 donning somber clothes, and as to the wearing of white, it is in the best of taste, and generally most becoming. There is no reason whatever for her to wear clothes that differ in any respect of color or style or fabric from those the younger woman wears. The only injunction being that they must be made in becoming style. When a woman gets too old for pink, blue and majenta, she rightfully adopts white and grey for her own. But this age is not anywhere near 40. It comes in somewhere near 58 or 60. It is only a question of time when women everywhere will get used to the verdict that black is necessary for mourning and for nothing else, but as we stated last week even in the matter of mourning there is a change taking place and white is coming into favor. Wear black if you will but let it be because you must be economical or because you want one black gown because it is becoming. Don't say that you do not intend to follow the fashions of those giddy butterflies who want to appear young. Don't contend that the ways of the city are not your ways. Don't do an old fashioned, out of date thing simply because a group Styles for the Boys and Girls Fashion is turning her attention to children's garments, and importations in this direction show distinct and separate influences for the two sexes. For boys, English styles are eminently the thing, while for maids, hats, coats and gowns must express the Parisian touch. Even with garments made in this country, London's taste stamps the boy thing, and smart mammas will spend much time in choosing the correct English and Scotch textures, which are first choice everywhere for masculine wear. It is curious to see how severely exacting the English styles for lads are in point of correct mannish detail. Cuts and materials for any particular purpose are scrupulously defined, morning dress needing one thing, afternoon another, and all the accessories which accompany either calling for as much care. For the younger boy the linen collar is a turn-down Eton affair, with a soft silk tie. The four-in-hand is worn by the bigger boy, whose collar is in the various high forms. For afternoon dress for lads of long-trouser ages some very smart suits are seen in somber gray mixtures, with which derby hats are worn. In the new things for girls plaids and checks take so prominent a part that the instinct comes to discuss only the many charming patterns in these stylish materials, which, while always appearing with autumn, are likely to have a greater vogue then ever. Along with them are seen plaid of women in your town do it. Follow the world and not a local set. You will find that if you are right that set will follow you. Linen is proving preeminently the modish material for the more substantial waists, but good linen is expensive and for women who cannot afford to pay high prices for their waists there are models in madras and in the serviceable English plaque. One of the most popular which we have seen is one with the short sleeves with collar of either the high flap turn-down type or with the low collar turning away from the throat. The latter, although it looks temptingly comfortable for hot weather, can be worn by few women past their youth. With the high collar, however, the waist becomes practical for anyone who can wear a shirt waist at all, and though the idea of a short sleeve tailored waist strikes one at first as incongruous, the actual thing is really very attractive. As to frocks, soft silks, radiums, foulards, etc., are in favor. The Peking stripe radiums are very popular, and there are many charming small designs in the new foulards, combining shadow stripes and dots with printed and broche figures in one harmonious shadow. Lace enters into the trimming of almost all of these frocks, and new effects are obtained by the insetting of lace and the use of silk bands or motifs applied over this lace, or by the use of soutache braiding over inset lace. The light gray frock has not yet run its course and is a useful all around frock for the woman of limited wardrobe. The gowns shown in our illustration are of white alpaca and flowered muslin. The first of white alpaca is trimmed with stitched bands of alpaca, held by circles.

STORY OF OLD JOHN BROWN Great Gathering of Kansas Pioneers on the Battlefield—Address by Vice President Fairbanks. Ossawatonie, Kan.—Here Thursday, on the battlefield where a half century ago an armed conflict over slavery took place. Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks delivered a stirring address to 6,000 persons. The occasion was the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Ossawatonie, in which John Brown was a central figure. Vice President Fairbanks spoke of the stirring times that led up to the border wars in Missouri and Kansas. He told of the effect of these early struggles upon the country's history and from them drew a lesson for future generations. He said in part: "This occasion takes our minds back to a period of dramatic interest in American history; to a time when the passions among the people were deeply stirred. The times then were ominous. The people could see the fast gathering clouds of an impending contest between the friends of freedom and slavery for ultimate supremacy. It was a day of acrimony, of bitterness, of sharp impeachment of the motives, the purposes and the patriotism of men. "We have not come hither to awaken in any ungenerous sense divisions which made this spot historic, but rather to contrast the present with the past; to recall the heroic services of men in the interests of home and country, to kindle anew our patriotic zeal and to glory in the triumphs of freedom in America. "The contest that followed the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill on the soil of Kansas was unique in our national experience. The war which waged here was its natural fruit. The engagement was a sporadic outburst—a stray shot upon the picket line and truly presaged the larger engagements of the mighty armies of the North and of the South. "The sad shadow of disunion has passed and the North and the South are knitted together by mutual respect and love of a common flag. Those who opposed each other, in the great conflict glory in its providential issue. "We face the future radiant with golden promise, resolved to make our country greater than it is, greater in material power, but greater than all in the splendid character of its citizenship; a country where a dominant note shall be fair play for all the forces which make for the advancement of a great, righteous people." Following Mr. Fairbanks, Senators Benson and Long spoke. Senator Long traced the strenuous times experienced in Kansas and Missouri fifty years ago, and spoke of the attack by four hundred Missourians on the village of Ossawatomie, defended by forty men under John Brown. He continued: "And so it is that to-day we meet here not to revive the animosities and the bitterness of those early struggles, not to review the incidents of the war, but to impress upon the people of Kansas and the people of the country that on this soil the great struggle for the extermination of slavery really began. It is, meaed, appropriate that we should have with us to-day the Vice President of a reunited country." PUMPKIN PIE DAY. Annual Festival Draws Great Crowds at Longmont. Longmont, Colo.—Longmont was "enfete" Thursday, the occasion being "Pumpkin Pie" day, an annual event of much interest to this city and vicinity. The celebration was even on a grander scale than ever before attempted and passed off without a hitch. The weather, barring a slight shower in the afternoon, was perfect and the 4,000 visitors in the city enjoyed Longmont's hospitality to the utmost. In the morning there was a parade embracing many handsomely decorated floats, cowboys and cowgirls, and humorous features as well. After the parade the crowds wended their way to the park, where the pumpkin pies that made Longmont famous and other light refreshments were served. Notwithstanding that over 6,000 pies had been baked, the crowd was so great that the pie supply was exhausted. In the afternoon an interesting program of races took place at the Longmont race track, which wag attended by a large crowd. An illuminated parade in the evening ended the day's exercises. Labels Must Give Contents Washington.—Nothing short of the placing on meat products of labels which will not deceive the public was the ultimatum which Secretary Wilson delivered to forty representatives of various packing houses here Thursday. Hereafter, if the packers want their goods accepted for interstate shipment, the packages must bear labels more specific than those used hitherto. It will not do, for instance, to state merely that a package contains sausage. The label must distinctly describe the article and plainly show that the sausage is made entirely of pork, of pork and beef combined, or of other ingredients. Premier's Daughter Recovering. St. Petersburg.—In spite of the earlier diagnosis of the hopelessness of her case, Premier Stolypin's daughter, who was badly injured by the bomb explosion in her father's apartments August 25th, is still alive and there are hopes of her recovery. The others wounded are improving, except the student, Dulevith, and the carriage driver, Bernarsky. Both the earlier suspects have now been cleared. Among the unknown dead have been recognized Princess Eudoxia Cantacuzene, Mme. Istomia, a member of a noble family, and her eight-year-old son. Five corpses have not been identified. --- DO YOU KNOW THAT The Colorado Statesman Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing? Commercial, Fraternal.
