VOTE AT THE REP. PRIMARIES TO-DAY IMPATIENT Is the way the American Negro is Growing Over His Continued Persecution. A Fearless and Bold Speech on Behalf of the Negro. VOL. XII. IMPACT Is the way the American Neg tinued Persecution. A on Behalf o That the American Negro is growing restless under continued persecution is evident from the protestations through the press and in every meeting of any character held by him throughout the press and in every meeting of any character held by him throughout the country. His prayers, songs and speeches are ringing words of heart disturbances over wrongs perpetrated upon him. In the wake of these muttering, storm is certainly going to follow. The spirit is forbearance and long suffering is a departed virtue. The day of reform is upon us and we give the warning word for the minor element that has always outlined and enforced the policy for the South in its attitude toward the Negro. The Negro is preparing for better or for worse. for liberty unabridged and for citizenship uncircumscribed. There are some questions that demand our immediate attention and to which we propose to dedicate the best that there is in us to bring about a reformation. To this end we beg the co-operation of every Afro-American and every friend of the race. The educational facilities under the free school system of the South are becoming more and more meager for the Negro. The terms have been cut short, the salaries of the teachers have been reduced and the division of money provided for public education is the last and most damaging legislation perpetrated upon us. The few schools supported by the States for higher education of Negroes are not equipped for the work. The Southern making the charge that the poor whites are being deprived of money paid by tax payers of their own race for the education of white children in order to make up the deficiency to support colored schools. Like many other statements made by Southern politicians, demagogues and Negro haters, facts are disregarded. There is not a single Southern state in which Negroes are not paying enough taxes to justify the State Government in giving the same educational advantages to Negro boys and girls as are given to white boys and girls. There has been a persistent effort for the past fifteen years to close the doors ```markdown ``` State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo OTE AT THE COLORA DEM TIENT ro is Growing Over His Con- Fearless and Bold Speech of the Negro. --- of the public schools in the face of the Negro youth. O, what can be the aim of the South? Southern Negroes who are tax payers are called upon to assert their rights and demand of the State government value received. Rob our children of an education and you prepare them to swell the ranks of the ignorant and depraved who commit crimes for which the entire race must pay the penalty. There is an unwritten law in the South that a Negro should not serve in a jury box. There are Negroes of superior character and intelligence paying taxes upon hundreds of dollars worth of property, and yet, from a Southern view point, there is not a colored man worthy of enjoying jury privileges. In view of the fact that so many Negroes are brought before the courts for trial, in the name of justice, a demand must be made for the extension of this civil right to worthy colored men. Negroes who are selected to serve on juries are usually the equal and invariably the superior of white men on them. There are two reasons why the South has stubbornly refused to grant us this privilege. First: It is a crime and a dangerous precedent to allow a Negro to decide whether a white man is too innocent to be charged by him with having committed any crime. Again, Negroes would contend that justice be meted to Negro criminals at the bar and there would also be a hanging jury. Ninetenths of the Negroes who are brought to court are tried and convicted with or without sufficient evidence. No Southern jury is controlled by law in administering justice to the Negro, and there is not a court south of the Mason and Dixon line in which the Negro receives a fair and impartial trail. Judges and juries are coerced and hood winked bought and sold by Southern sentiment, until a trial in which a Negro is involved is invariably a farce. L. G. JORDAN "RED BONES" Surrounds the Tent and Filled it With Bullets. New Orleans, Aug. 22.—A spec- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1906. ial from Deridder today says that a crowd of armed "Red Bones" and other natives surrounded a tent in which were eight Negroes and three white laborers. They emptied shotguns, pistols and rifles into the tent, wounding all of the inmates. It is said that two are dead, six mortally and three slightly hurt. The names of none of them could be learned. The cause of the shooting seems to have been enmity that existed toward the employes of the Grigsby Construction Company, who are grading the Santa Fe extention between Slabtown and Oakdale. The natives are opposed to the introduction of Negro labor in their locality. A PLEA FOR PROTECTION Of the Black Men Who Fights the Battles of Uncle Sam. Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stamped by the clamor which is being raised against the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place were not the black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier, in uniform, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to anybody. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine. The streets of Brownville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct themselves with propriety. After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade a party of Negro soldiers raided a saloon, and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost. This is deplorable and the Negro culprits should be punished. But what about the white offender who started the disorder? Is there to be no punishment for him? Is the black man, even when he wears the United States uniform, to be assailed when he walks the streets peacefully? Race prejudice is strong in Brownsville. So it is all over Texas, all over the South, and throughout part of the North and West. This is unfortunate for both whites and blacks. But when a black man wearing the uniform of the army of the United States is assailed on the street for no other offense except that of having a a black skin, it is time for the government which he defends to come to his rescue. There are four Negro regiments in the arms. Of the 13,000 cavalry, approximately 2,000 are black men. There are in the neighborhood of 2,000 black men among the 25,000 infantry. These four black regiments, nearly all of whose commissioned officers are white, have done good service for the government. Their members, on the whole, are well behaved, are obedient and are brave. The 54th Massachusetts, the first regiment of Negroes who were enlisted in 1861-65, did hard fighting at Fort Wagner and in other battles in the rebellion. The only fighting of any consequence which was done in Cuba in 1898 was done by the black and white regulars, though much of the credit went elsewhere. As professional soldiers, however, these black men and white did the fighting as part of their day's work, and asked no special credit for it. So long as the United States enlist black men to help to do its fighting it is in honor bound to defend them against insult or assault when they are violating no law. When the white disturber in Brownsville assailed the black man in uniform who was quietly walking the streets the national government was attacked. A government which would refuse to protect a black man, a red man or a brown man who wears its uniform and obeys its laws would not deserve to be defended by white men or any other sort of men.—Globe-Democrat Telephone Cos'. A Second Telephone Co., will be of no Relief for Denver Citizens in the way of Economy. Certain outside capitalists are in Denver endeavoring to interest the public in a second telephone system. They are making use of the usual arguments in favor of their attempt to gain a foothold. That the scheme is purely a furtherance of their own ends, and without resultant benefits to the people of Denver, is readily shown by an analysis of the franchise they propose to ask of the city council, and for which they are circulating a petition for an election. The proposed franchise signifies the rates which may be charged by the new company, which are substantially: $6.25 a month for business, and $2.75 a month for residence, with a right to increase the rates fifty cents per month for each one thousand telephones added to the exchange upward of ten thousand. As The Colorado Telephone Company, now occupying the field, has some 20,000 telephones, it can readily be seen that at this rate of increase these rates would amount to a considerable sum before this new company could really be considered a competitor of The Colorado Telephone Company. However, they propose to establish these rates with a maximum of $8.00 per month for business, and $4.00 per month for residence. This offers no relief, from a rate standpoint, to some five thousand of the present telephone users who pay $2.00 a month, or less, for their residence telephones; and to some four thousand others who pay less than $5.00 a month for their business telephones. There is more than this to be considered, however, when discussing prospective telephone competition: Telephone competition is hardly to be considered in the same light as competition in other lines of business; the greatest value in telephone service, regardless of rates charged, is that given when the greatest number of subscribers are connected to a single system, whereby each user can be connected with every other user of the telephone service; and it has been decisively proven that two telephone systems in a single city either divide the usage, or compel the business man to install a telephone of both systems; in order to reach all of his patrons and correspondents he must have a telephone of each system in use, and even if the competition proposes to reduce rates, it does not lessen his expense, but, rather, doubles it. It does not seem possible to advance any argument to deny this statement, because the experience of the telephone users in other cities where competition in telephone service has been encouraged shows that from one-half to three-quarters of the business men who subscribed for the competitive service still retained their old company instruments, and that their annual expense is nearly double. Every telephone user, every business man, every voter should consider that in signing a petition for, or encouraging in any way a second system of telephone service he is acting absolutely against his own pocketbook. To sign a petition for second system, or to urge the granting of a franchise to a second company is to hurry the day when the business man must pay more or his service than at present. BEN TILLMAN Shouted Out Doxology with Profane and Forceful Expression of His Views on the Negro. Anderson, Ind., Aug. 26.—"Wait let me just add the doxology, that South Carolina has white demination and will hold it in spite of hell," shouted Senator Ben Tillman to an audience of nearly 5,000 when it was scattered by a rainstorm this afternoon at the Chesterfield camp of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists. He spoke for an hour on "The Race Problem," asserting that the Civil War was not a rebellion but a bloody war between brethren that was promoted in the North, and that it did not settle a race question that NO. 50. continues to be both grave and great. Of Negroes in the Southern States the Senator said: "The question that confronts these states is how the American can exercise the right to vote and not destroy the civilization. I believe that domination of whites over the blacks is the only salvation of our states. Education is one idea suggested for the Negroes but you have no foundation in the African for education. I have heard it said that amalgamation of whites and blacks by marriage would solve the question, but we see the result of such amalgamation in Cuba, the making of mongrels from amalgamation of black and white. Would you have us mongrels? We would see you in h—l first. Then it has been said that the African should be driven back to Africa. The south does not want to drive out the Negroes, and they don't want to go. To make them go would paralyze industrial activity in the south. "Domination by the whites must be considered. We do it in South Carolina, although in the minority, by outvoting the blacks. In Indiana you have enough Negro voters to make a Republican majority." Considering Vice President Fairbanks address to Negroes at Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, urging them to secure education, senator Tillman said: "And when they get education they start for the three P's—preaching, politics or penitentiary." 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. All newspapers west of the Mississippi are requested to send representatives. All business men are requested to participate in the meeting. This session will be one of the most important meetings ever held, and will be of very great importance to the race. Matters of very great importance to the race in the great West will be under consideration and as we are nearing another presidential contest, it is important that we exchange views now. We urge that a large attendance be present at this meeting. All communications regarding room should be addressed to D. B. Faw, Chairman Reception committee.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER READ Recounts Operations Under the Reclamation Act—Would Save Land for the People—Necessity of Preventing Speculation. Boise, Idaho.—The meeting of the Irrigation congress is pronounced by far the most successful ever held in the history of the organization. There are between 500 and 600 delegates from other states in attendance, while Idaho contributed probably as many more. States represented besides Idaho are: Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Virginia, Kansas, Nebraska and District of Columbia. The congress received a letter of greeting from President Roosevelt which provoked hearty applause, and later by resolution of the congress an expression of thanks was telegraphed to the President. Vice President Fairbanks' address was fraught with encouragement for the irrigationists and the good wishes he expressed were fully appreciated. The delegates were welcomed by Mayor James Pinney of Boise, Gov. Frank R. Gooding and Senator DuBois. Speeches in response were delivered by United States Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana, Gov. George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, and Cyrus Happy of Spokane, Washington. The President's letter to the congress was as follows: "Operations under the reclamation act, which I signed on June 17, 1902, have been carried on energetically during the four years since that date. The reclamation service, consisting of over 400 skilled engineers and experts in various lines, has been organized, and it is now handling the work with rapidity and effectiveness. Construction is already well advanced on twenty-three great enterprises in the arid states and territories. Over 1,000,000 acres of land have been laid out for irrigation, and of this 200,000 acres are now under ditch; 800 miles of canals and ditches and 30,000 feet of tunnel have been completed; and 16,000,000 cubic yards of earth and 3,000,000 cubic yards of rock have been moved. Detailed topographic surveys have been extended over 10,000 square miles of country within which the reclamation work is located, and 20,000 miles of level lines have been run. Three hundred buildings, including offices and sleeping quarters for workmen, have been erected by the reclamation service, and about an equal number by the contractors. Over 10,000 men and about 5,000 horses are at present employed. "We may well congratulate ourselves upon the rapid progress already made, and rejoice that the infancy of the work has been safely passed. But we must not forget that there are dangers and difficulties still ahead, and that only unbroken vigilance, efficiency, integrity and good sense will suffice to prevent disaster. There is now no question as to where the work shall be done, how it shall be done, or the precise way in which the expenditures shall be made. All that is settled. There remains, however, the critical question of how best to utilize the reclaimed lands by putting them into the hands of actual cultivators and homemakers, who will return the original outlay in annual installments paid back into the reclamation fund; the question of seeing that the lands are used for homes, and not for purposes of speculation or for the building up of large fortunes. "This question is by no means simple. It is easy to make plans and spend money. During the time when the government is making a great investment like this, the men in charge are praised and the rapid progress is commended. But when the time comes for the government to demand the refund of the investment under the terms of the law, then the law itself will be put to the test and the quality of its administration will appear. "The pressing danger just now springs from the desire of nearly every man to get hold of as much land as he can, whether he can handle it profitably or not, and whether or not it is for the interest of the community that he should have it. The prosperity of the present irrigated areas comes from the subdivision of the land and the consequent extensive cultivation. With an adequate supply of water, a farm of five acres in some parts of the arid West, or of forty acres elsewhere, is as large as may be successfully tilled by one family. When, therefore, a man attempts to hold 160 acres of land completely irrigated by government work, he is preventing others from acquiring a home, and is actually keeping down the population of the state. "Speculation in lands reclaimed by the government must be checked at whatever cost. The object of the reclamation act is not to make money, but to make homes. Therefore, the requirements of the reclamation act that the size of the farm unit shall be limited in each region to the area which will comfortable support one family must be enforced in letter and in spirit."

According to the report of the San Francisco health department 452 persons lost their lives in the earthquake of April 18. Over 2,000 arrests were made in one night in Warsaw. Many complaints have been made of the brutality of the police. President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, has ordered that no more passes be issued over that road, but that existing transportation be honored until its expiration. The Russian consul at Tien Tsin was shot by a concession contractor recently and dangerously wounded. According to F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, Kansas has gained 60,492 in population during the past year.

After being shot four times by citizens, who riddled his house with bullets, Kruger was captured. Justice Stafford, of the District of Columbia supreme court recently rendered a decision in which he declared that boycotts of labor unions were legal. The will of Frank K. Hipple, late president of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company, of Philadelphia, has been filed for probate. His property amounting to $130,000 was left to his son, who is sole executor. Osawatomie, Kan., recently held a three days' celebration of the 50th anniversary of the battle at that place between a force under John Brown and the pro slavery men. Vice President Fairbanks was the principle orator of the occasion. The suspicion that Frank K. Hipple, late president of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company of Philadelphia, had committed suicide has been confirmed by the coroner. The officials kept the matter secret in order to avoid a financial panic. The statement of Receiver Earle, of the broken Real Estate Trust company of Philadelphia, that the late president Frank K. Hipple had practically stolen more than $5,000,000, created a profound sensation in that city. Estimates for canal appropriations for 1907 are now in course of preparation at the office of the Isthmian canal commission at Washington.

Official statistics of Russian terrorism for one week recently show that 101 officials were killed, 92 wounded, and that 291 private persons were either killed or wounded. The San Francisco relief corporation has let a contract for 4,000 two and three room cottages to be erected in the city parks within the next three months. All Chemically Pure. The mistaken idea of a few years ago, about Alum in Baking Powders being injurious, no longer prevails, or scarcely exists. It is a well established fact by chemical analysis that Cream of Tartar being less volatile than Alum, when exposed to heat, is not entirely vaporized as is the case with Alum, but leaves a residue in the bread, which is injurious. Alum, on the contrary, is entirely evaporated while performing its function during process of baking, leaving no atom of injurious residuous substance. The words "Chemically Pure" erroneously used to designate Cream of Tartar from Alum baking powder is a misnomer. Baking Powder made of pure Alum is as chemically pure as made from pure cream of tartar. These words mean nothing more nor less than pure chemicals, and in no way can they imply that one baking powder is Alum and another Cream of Tartar. Alum has been declared to be wholesome; an established fact. Every large water system in the cities along the Missouri river use Alum in large quantities to purify the water before pumping it into their water mains for consumption. Cream of Tartar baking powder is perhaps good enough for any one; Alum baking powder is better, and very much cheaper. Atmospheric Poisoning. The protests against the automobile omnibuses of London have received a powerful reenforcement by a declaration of Sir James Dewar on the chemical basis. He is undoubtedly among the high chemical authorities of the world, and his condemnation of the motor buses and freight wans seems conclusive unless invention provides innocuous motive power. Sir James Dewar states that the combustion of petrol or gasoline in these motors throws off vast quantities of noxious gases. Some of these are absolutely poisonous and all injurious. He holds that the air of London is bad enough already without the addition of carbonic acid gas, the sulphurous gases, and, worst of all, the asphyxiating carbonic oxide. Moreover, while he admits that science can improve motors, he declares that it is impossible for it to burn petrol and render the resulting gases innocuous. WILD WITH ITCHING HUMOR. Eruption Broke Out in Spots All Over Body—Cured at Expense of Only $1.25—Thanks Cuticura. "The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. 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.

One of the many persons whom the late Alfred Belt had befriended repaid him with ingratitude and abuse. Later the ingrate fell on evil times. Though down in the gutter, he still had a little shame left and would not ask Mr. Belt for help. The South African diamond magnate sent for one of the unuucky one's friends and said: "Go and see So-and-So, ask if he wants any help, and give it to him, but don't let him think it is from me.

STATE NOTABLES PRESENT Second Official of United States Heartily Greeted by Colorado People—Members of All Parties Unite to Do Him Honor. Denver.—Charles W. Fairbanks, vice president of the United States, spent four and one-half hours in Denver Saturday. Coming into the city from Wolhurst, where he had been the guest of Thomas F. Walsh for about two hours, he was the guest of honor at an informal luncheon in the Brown Palace hotel at 1:30 p. m., which was attended by many prominent business and professional men. A short visit to the Republican Club after luncheon, and a drive about the city, required so much time that he went directly to the Union station at its conclusion and boarded his train, which left at 6:10 p. m. for Boise City, Idaho, where Mr. Fairbanks was billed to address the Irrigation congress. He will return to Denver about the middle of the month to remain some time, bringing Mrs. Fairbanks with him. They will be guests of Thomas F. Walsh. Before the luncheon a reception was held in the parlor on the first floor. United States Senator T. M. Patterson stood at the head of the receiving column, with Mr. Fairbanks next. Mr. Walsh presented the guests. Then came Governor McDonald, Congressman Bonynge and Congressman Brooks. After presentations the party took seats at the tables. The rooms had been decorated and the tables were a mass of asters and dahlias, in pink, white and yellow. A large circular table occupied the center of the room and from this radiated two long tables. Mr. Walsh sat at the center of the south circle of the big table. At his right was the guest of the occasion, and at the left Senator Patterson. Governor McDonald was at the right of the vice president and former Governor Adams came next. Congressman Brooks sat next to Senator Patterson, then came Congressman Hogg and at his side was Senator N. B. Scott of West Virginia. Across on the other half of the disc was J. F. Valle, who had been Mr. Walsh's lieutenant in preparing the luncheon. On his right were former Gov. J. B. Grant and Dean H. Martyn Hart. To the left were David H. Moffat, William Staplon and Simon Guggenheim. The guests at the luncheon other than those already mentioned were: Chief Justice W. H. Gabbert, Judge George Allen, Schuyler Alexander, John B. Andrews, D. C. Bailey, Charles Boettcher, F. G. Bonfils, Henry Brady, Col. James H. Brown, John Campion, F. G. Chamberlin, president of the real estate exchange; Walter S. Cheesman, C. A. Chisholim, Gen. George W. Cook, William Cooper, Thomas F. Daly, Col. D. C. Dodge, D. H. Dougan, Rabbi William S. Friedman, C. F. Goudy, Justice Gunter of the Supreme Court; Gen. Frank Hall, Judge J. C. Helm, Cass Herrington, John A. Holmberg, John Kuykendall, Judge Robert E. Lewis of the United States Court, Justice Maxwell of the Supreme Court, John C. Montgomery, Rev. William O'Ryan, Col. J. C. Osgood, H. L. Ritter, Judge Plat. Rogers, Vice President Charles H. Schlaacks of the Denver & Rio Grande, former Congressman John H. Shafroth, A. J. Spengel, president of the chamber of commerce; John W. Springer, I. N. Stevens, A. M. Stevenson, P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs; N. Maxey Tabor, Joseph A. Thatcher, E. A. Thayer, George W. Vallentine, J. H. P. Voorhies, Senator F. E. Warren of Wyoming, Charles W. Waterman, Greeley W. Whitford, E. E. Whitted, S. N. Wood, William Lennox of Colorado Springs, State Senator Arthur Cornforth, D. B. Fairley, chairman of the State Republican central committee; Senator De La Vergne of Colorado Springs, John W. Benson, Henry stern, Charles C. Glover of Washington, D. C.; Fred D. McKinney, and others. Following the luncheon, which was quite elaborate, there were short speeches in the pleasantest vein. Mr. Walsh arose and offered a toast to the President, which was drunk standing. Senator Patterson, in a happy little speech, introduced the vice president. Senator Patterson said there is no city in the land where a toast can be drunk with greater unanimity to President Roosevelt than Denver. In Denver he has no enemies and all are friends. He made a pleasant reference to late railroad legislation and incidentally pald a fine tribute to David H. Moffat, who sat opposite, saying his name would be remembered for generations to come. Referring to Mr. Fairbanks' visit, he said the vice president is attending the school of instruction in which the President is a graduate, a visit to the West. He then referred to Mr. Fairbanks' efforts in beha' of the reclamation act, and, dropping a word regarding local conditions, declared it was an occasion where all could meet in friendship and for the common good. The vice president then spoke. He is a charming talker. He is tall and much better looking than his pictures. His voice is deep and melodious and carries well. After expressing his pleasure at being present at such a gathering, the vice president referred to those present. He seemed to know more or less about nearly everyone, and declared that out of it he could select a cabinet fit to rule any nation on earth. He saw empire builders, capitalists, lawyers, editors and railroad managers. Mr. Fairbanks declared that Colorado is the synonym for push and energy, a state with much present power in national affairs and with great future potentialities. He has long been in sympathy with the work of reclamation, and if he had not been it would have been beaten into him by the western representatives. CAINED 34 POUNDS Persistent Anaemia Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills After Other Remedies Had Failed. "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine, "I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anemia. I had spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to. I had such distress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had had several numb spells. My limbs would be cold and without any feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and one morning I awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disappeared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no inconvenience. I also slept soundly. I have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anaemia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed. They are sold by all drugists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

These barefoot soldiers are antagonists not to be despised. Nearly worthless in attack, they are nevertheless tenacious in holding a position, a trait that comes from their Spanish descent probably. In the Cuban campaign Gen. Garcia is said to ha ve said in reply to the remark of an American officer; "The Spaniards never attack." This may have been true in the main, but the defense of the trenches at Caney showed that the Spaniards would hold a position with as much courage and tenacity as any other troops. The Central and the South Americans have not generally showed much steadiness in war, but there have been occasions when their conduct has been conspicuous for gallantry, and all the virtues which go to make up the stalwart soldier.—N. O. Times-Democrat. Crucial Test "Yes, the prisoner was a woman of extraordinary nerve. They tried in every known way to make her nervous." "That so?" "Yes. They shot off a gun unexpectedly, yelled 'Fire!' and told her a distant powder blast was an earthquake. Still she was unmoved. Then they liberated a mouse." "I'll wager a bank roll against a stogie that the mouse made her nervous." "Not at all. She only stepped on it and laughed." "Great Jupiter! Such a woman as that wouldn't lose her nerve if the earth exploded." "Oh, yes. One of the detectives stepped up and whispered in her ear that her hair had been mussed up for two hours, and then she collapsed." GOOD AND HARD. Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking. It is remarkable what suffering some persons put up with just to satisfy an appetite for something. A Mich. woman says: "I had been using coffee since I was old enough to have a cup of my own at the table, and from it I have suffered agony hundreds of times in the years past. "My trouble first began in the form of billious colic, coming on every few weeks and almost ending my life. At every attack for 8 years I suffered in this way. I used to pray for death to relieve me from my suffering. I had also attacks of sick headache, and began to suffer from catarrh of the stomach, and of course awful dyspepsia. "For about a year I lived on crackers and water. Believing that coffee was the cause of all this suffering, I finally quit it and began to use Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with my stomach, my troubles have left me and I am fast gaining my health under its use. "No wonder I condemn coffee and tea. No one could be in a much more critical condition than I was from the use of coffee. Some doctors pronounced it cancer, others ulceration, but none gave me any relief. But since I stopped coffee and began Postum I am getting well so fast I can heartily recommend it for all who suffer as I did." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. We call the attention of our readers to an article on the front page of this paper concerning The Colorado Telephone Company. This company is an old home corporation. Its principal stockholders are residents of this city and state. It has given its patrons superb and efficient service at a moderate cost. It is doubtful whether another company in the whole country furnishes such service so cheaply when all the circumstances and conditions are taken into consideration. But it appears that other persons, who are non-residents, desire to divide this field with this company. We believe in the general principle of fair competition when it tends to benefit the public by extending, improving and cheapening the service. But this project does not seem to promise such results. The public should be very careful in giving aid to such movements. They are often got up for the sole purpose of coercing the existing companies to buy them out. A recent and glaring instance is fresh in the peoples' mind. It was happily exposed in the nick of time. DRIVE OUT THE DIVES There is a growing necessity in all large cities where there is a rowdy class of loafing and drinking Negroes for the better class of respectable colored people to form law and order organizations to assist the police department to put their hands at the throat of this increasing evil, besides such an organization would make it clear where the better class of colored people stand on the question of criminality among the race. The trouble heretofore is that the Negro outlaws, degenerates and gamblers who have made necessary the taking of active steps to safeguard womanhood and public safety do not come under the influence of the best class of colored people and therefore are not reached by the pulpits, press, schools or moral efforts of any kind. Their habitat are the dives, gambling hells and low resorts of the city kept by both white and colored proprietors, where the most lewd morals and debased forms of vice are the ordinary routine of life and the rendezvous of experienced crime. Moral influences do not penetrate these vicious characters or their habitat. The only influence that they comprehend and respect is brute force and the police force must apply that drastic measure, hence the need of such an organized effort as a law and order league in order to preserve our own safety and reputation. While we deplore advocating such steps, yet self protection and the protection of the race are essential and the better-thinking element among us see the necessity of such a movement. The daily papers are burdened with the story of crime and we need to see and feel that the law cannot do all, but it depends upon good citizenry to assist in its application and exe- cution. The time has come for action. While others are organized to act against us let us organize to act for personal and racial protection. GOOD COMING OUT OF EVIL This is a doctrine that many do not care to believe or trust too far, yet it has a foundation and fact in history and nature. The story of the lesson of Joseph sold into Egypt in bible history has its repetition here in America in 1906. "Ye meant it to me for evil but God has made it for my good," was Joseph's interpretation of his brethren's crime. The state of Georgia has witnessed one of the most spectacular and exciting political campaigns in the history of that state. Hon. Hoke Smith, secretary of agriculture in Cleveland's cabinet, and Clarke Howell, popular editor of the Atlanta Constitution, two of the most prominent men of the South, having waged a hot primary contest for governor, and the issue has been the Negro, Smith favoring the educational qualification for Negro sufferage and Howell, the lilly white primaries, which is a perpetual bar to political equality of colored men. The argument brought up the Negro question from A to Z and gave it such airing as it has never received before in public debate. It has been a campaign of education, of turning the light on and here are some of the things it revealed: "That disfranchisement in Louisiana is rapidly educating the Negro and putting him above the white man." That the Negro has a passion to vote and sit on juries and as educational qualifications is the only bar to this, the Negro has been establishing school houses on every plantation and as a result are showing superior fitness to white men in meeting the test, and if white supremacy is still to be maintained then the bourbon element must again resort to "the counting out process." The educational test aimed against the Negro is now operating against the whites and disfranchises more whites than Negroes; hence good has come out of evil to the Negro. Is it not strange that nearly every repressive measure has overstepped itself and done good. If the Negro will but note this he will have a valuable lesson to encourage him in future efforts. Wrong cannot always endure, it will react and injure those who practice it. The educational, poll or property tax has never been opposed by thoughtful members of the race. It has only been the infernal Grandfather Clause and Lilly White Primaries and even these in due time may have its benefit in good to Negroes. Steadily but surely he is climbing the hill of progress. DEFENDS NEGRO SOLDIERS Mrs. Ethel G. Prioleau, wife of Chaplain Prioleau of the 9th U. S. cavalry stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. spoke in defense of the Negro soldiers in a letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat in which she said: To the Editor Globe-Democrat: Jefferson Barracks, Mo., August 24.—I beg for space in your paper to state a few facts to prove the injustice of the recent slanderous reports that have appeared against the Negro regiments of the United States army. Trusting to your sense of justice, I feel confident that my request will not be refused: Brownsville, Texas, has always been a place which was constantly at war with any regiment, white or black, that had the misfortune to be stationed at Fort Brown, and who can believe that such a people, whose hearts are prejudiced against the Negro race, would treat with any degree of fairness a portion of a regiment of black soldiers? They are too narrow to take into consideration the fact that these same soldiers have placed their lives in jeopardy for the defense of the homes of these same citizens of Brownsville. While I do not mean to uphold these sol- diers in any act of lawlessness they may have committed, of this I am sure; if done at all, the act was not committed except as the result of great and continued provocation. Although many Americans have completely forgotten the fact, it is nevertheless true that Negroes really are men, and no man, no race, no country has ever been found with fortitude enough to endure persecution forever without resisting it in a slight degree at least. If we are to believe the reports that have appeared in your paper, we find the citizens of Brownsville to be ignorant enough to even dispute the report of Maj. Penrose, a trusted servant of the government, who was sent there to investigate the trouble. Besides all this, insult has been added to injury in the article of Friday morning's issue, which pretends to be from Washington, I say pretends to be, for it is impossible to believe that any one near enough to the war department to be able to make such a report, would not know that there are not four Negro regiments of infantry in the army. One must be ignorant of this department of his government, indeed not to know that there are but two regiments of Negro infantrymen and two of cavalrymen.' For fear that the good behavior of the 3rd squadron of the 9th cavalry now stationed at Jefferson Barracks, might be considered proof of the falsehood of his statement, viz: that the Negro soldiers were unwelcome at any post in the United States, the author of the article has given as a reason for the absence of any trouble during their two-year stay at this post, Jefferson Barracks, is too isolated to permit any troupble to arise—another proof of his ignorance. Your readers well know that a short street car ride will put any soldier from the barracks into the heart of St. Louis, and any conductor who is employed on the southern route will tell you that the soldiers are constantly going to and from town, and yet there has been no trouble in which the Negro soldiers were engaged. Two of the soldiers at the barracks have gotten into trouble with farmers whose land lies near the barracks, but they were white soldiers. A number of them also marched into town one evening and were trying to raid Mannion's park, when overtaken by their officers, but not a Negro soldiers had been persuaded by the white soldiers to join the crowd, but had refused to do so. You will see by these facts that Jefferson Barracks is not so isolated that trouble could not arise. A post situated ten miles from the center of a large city like St. Louis, three miles from its outer limit, with street car connection, can not certainly be called an isolated post. I am the wife of a commissioned officer of the 9th United States cavalry, and I am in a position to know that the Negro soldier is obedient and law-abiding. The statement of outsiders, who are in no position to know anything at all about him, notwithstanding. I will not cite any of his acts of bravery during the wars in which our country has been engaged. You know of them from the articles that have appeared in your periodicals, but, in the name of justice, give the public a chance to know how false are these malignant slanderous, lying reports, and give to the Negro soldier partial credit at least for his manhood.

Nothing baked will keep well unless it is thoroughly cooled before being put away. Keep the milk bottles tightly closed even in the refrigerator. New milk should never be mixed with old. When boiling a pudding, remember to place a stick in the bottom of the saucepan. This will prevent the pudding burning. Melted butter used for basting is used in the proportion of one table spoonful of butter, melted, to one cupful of hot water. Keep hot while usl-7. To polish cut glass wash it well with soapsuds, rinse and then, after drying it with a cloth, polish it with sawdust and a washleather. The glass will be brilliant after this treatment. A peppermint plant in a pot is as good as a fly-paper to rid a room of those annoying pests—the files. There are several varieties of plants which the flies do not love, but the peppermint is their especial aversion. They will hurry to leave the room where it is. To keep sandwiches fresh, the tin boxes in which sweet wafers are purchased are handy receptacles in which to stow away sandwiches for evening lunches. Packed carefully, with lid nicely adjusted, and set on ice until needed, the sandwiches are temptingly moist. Ink stains on white articles may be removed with oxalic acid. A teaspoonful of the acid to a cupful of hot water will be found sufficient. The stains should be rubbed with this as soon as possible after they have been made. When the stain is removed carefully wash out the acid with pure water. WHEN WASHING ORNAMENTS. Proper Care That Should Be Given to Valuable China. The washing of valuable china needs to be carried out very cautiously and carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled with warm, not bolling, soapsuds, to which a few drops of household ammonia have been added, should be prepared, and each piece of china washed separately in this, using a square of old flannel for plain plates, etc., and a soft brush (a painter's brush is best) for elaborately ornamented articles. Rinse in another wooden bowl of clean warm water, and dry with linen cloths. Bronze ornaments may be washed in the same way, but should be finally polished with a chamois leather. Some people consider a rub with a rag on which there is the least suspicion of param gives bronze a nice appearance, but we do not think it necessary. Glass has a little ammonia in it, but no soap, and then rinsed in quite cold water, says Woman's Life. But glass should be washed with a brush, or, if, elaborately cut and very dirty, it is rather a good plan not to wash it at all, but brush a paste of whiting and water well into it, allowing it to dry on thoroughly, then removing it with a clean brush, and finally polishing with an old silk handkerchief. The cultivation of a pretty speaking voice is a practice growing among women in this country. One physician who makes a specialty of treating the voice is putting his patients who have this end in view on a diet of fruits which have a very soothing effect upon the throat and vocal chords. Much of the unpleasant quality noted in women's voices is due to the effect of the dampness of the climate. One of the most valuable of fruits for this purpose is the pineapple, now in its most perfect condition. For tonsilitis and quinsy the fresh fruit or even the canned variety is prescribed. Tomatoes are thought to help in giving a smooth, mellow voice. One or two a day should be eaten raw. Oranges, limes and lemons are also effective in rendering a hoarse, piping voice soft and flexible. When Broom Does Damage. Screens should be brushed with the house broom, as it has a tendency to push the wire from the frame, and cause it to bulge in a most unsightly manner. A child's toy broom, or, better, a whisk broom, is most useful for their proper care. The dust should be brushed from the meshes at least every two weeks. Badly rusted screens may be brushed over with kerosene, applied with a small varnish brush. If the frames need staining and varnishing, the wire may be varnished also, or painted with any good paint thinned with oil. Potato Fritters. Two large potatoes, four eggs, two tablespoons cream, two tablespoons sweet wine, two tablespoons lemon juice, half teaspoon grated nutmeg. Boll the potatoes and beat them lightly with a fork. Beat the eggs well, leaving out one of the whites. Add the other ingredients and beat them all together for at least 20 minutes. Have plenty of hot butter or lard in the frying kettle; drop a tablespoon of the batter at a time into it and try until a golden brown. Serre with sauce. Testing Peaches. There is no way of telling a clin- from a freestone peach except by breaking the fruit. Whether they are sufficiently ripe for table use can be readily distinguished, for the skin should be yellow, perhaps with tinges of red on spots that have been exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and firm to the touch, though not as hard as they are when green. C. F. Hall spent Sunday in Boulder, visiting his parents. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Ratley entertained a few friends Wednesday night. E. P. Booze of Colorado Springs, was in the city Thursday on business. Charles W. South of Omaha, was a guest in Denver a few days this week. Messrs Andrew and Preston Mosley of Atchison, Kansas are guests in the city. The Carnival at Shorter A. M. E. church this week was a decided success in every particular. Morgan E. Robinson of Leadville, was in the city this week shaking hands with his many friends. Mrs. Joseph Moniter left this week for Philadelphia where she will resume her duties as teacher in the public schools. Mrs. Hattie Overman left the city last week to visit her father at Atchison, Kans. She expects to be gone about six weeks. R. D. DePriest of Salina, Kans. who has been visiting relatives in Denver and Colorado Springs, returned to his home this week. L. M. Prince returned to Denver last Saturday after an absence of several months. He has a host of friends here who gladly welcome his return. Mrs. Mary Clark mother of H. W. and Chas. Clark left last Sunday for Chillecothe, Mo., where she will spend the winter with her son, William. Joseph Burns, a cook at the Shirley came near amputating a couple of his fingers with a butcher knife Sunday while cutting a piece of beef. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Johnson of 1839 Lawrence street entertained at a card party last week in honor of their niece, Mrs. Cora Cooper of St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. J. H. Washington of Highland, Kansas, and Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Mason of St. Joseph, Mo., neices of W. Rease are visiting him at 1834 Curtis street. Mrs. Ed. Johnson of Alliance, Neb., returned home Friday of last week after a very pleasant stay in Denver the guest of Mrs. Robert Johnson of 131 W. 10th Ave. The barbecue given at Campbells A. M. E. church last Monday was a grand success. The meat was barbecued by James Combs of 2810 Arapahoe St. who is considered one of the best. Among the Denver boys who "clant up" on the Gans-Nelson fight were Jas. Cartwright, Richard Frazier, Jas. F. Clark, W. R. Euper, Leon Edwards, W. A. Watkins, Wm. Lewis and a whole passel of others. The stock of the Jackson Shoe Co. has arrived and is being shelved and the public will now have an opportunity to buy as fine a grade of shoes that can be purchased, and this too from a member of the race. The Elks gave a reception at the Mecca Cafe last Wednesday night in honor of W. A. Rice, who has just returned from the Elks Grand Lodge convention at Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was elected Esteem Leading Knight. W. R. Euper entertained Jas. F. Clark J. Finley Wilson and Geo. Watts at a sumptuous supper at the Rhine Cafe Monday night. Mr. Euper was a Gans man and laid plenty of "long green" on the colored boy who "brought back the bacon." Lawrence Stephen returned Friday of last week from a three weeks trip to the Pacific coast. He reports an excellent time at Portland and says the Colored people in that vicinity are doing fairly well and especially those who own fruit ranches. Mrs. V. L. Spencer, Field Missionary of the Natl. Baptist convention passed through the city this week enroute to the National Baptist convention at Memphis. Mrs. Spencer lectured at Zion Baptist church Thursday night on "The treatment of women and children in the Congo State." An enjoyable social dance was given at Five Points hall Wednesday night by the Asbury Club. This club is one of the leading social organizations in the city and President Q. J. Gilmore and the members are quite jubilant over the fact that it has assumed the lead for enjoyable events. The lawn-fete given by St. Benedict's society was a complete success. By the bright light of the glad moon every anticipation became a most welcome reality, the attendance was expressive of much appreciation. This entertainment brought the society $51.00. While the committee is proud of their first effort, they also thank every body who helped in any way. Tom Cathey the colored man who was held for the killing of Marie White on Market street some two weeks ago, had his preliminary examination on Thursday morning before Justice Hudson and was discharged. All the witnesses showed that the shooting was purely accidental and that the defendant was almost crazy with grief over. the unfortunate affair. Attorney Joseph H. Stuart represented the defendant. GANS' GREAT VICTORY GANS' GREAT VICTORY Over "Battling" Nelson in a Long and Bloody Fight. Nothing has created more interest throughout the country, (barring presidential elections) than did the Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield, Nev., last Monday which was for the light weight championship of the world. It was a game and bloody battle but Gans demonstrated without any question of doubt that he was the Dane's master throughout the mill and after 42 rounds of fighting, the white boy seeing no hope to win, deliberately fouled Gans and the referee awarded the fight to the Baltimore boy who stands without a peer in his fighting class. The punishment which Gans administered to Nelson left no room for argument over the decision and sporting men of true-blue character express entire satisfaction over the outcome. Gans conceded every unjust point to Nolan and Nelson which was very unpopular to the sporting element, but this only made the colored boy go in the ring with a stronger determination of coming out with the title of light-weight champion. The unfair tactics used by Nelson throughout the fight was much in evidence, but the foul blow which he delivered in the last round was the only damaging punch that Gans received, while on the other hand, Gans put up a clean fight and beat his opponent almost into a pulp, the Dane being unable to impede the blows which did the work. In the 33rd round Gans broke his right hand but he fought gamely to the last. The colored sports of Denver raised the lid off the Queen City when the flash was announced; "Gans wins." They had a regular jubilee entertaining their friends at dinner parties and taking on a few toddies, etc. This, however, was at the expense of many white and a few blacks sports who thought well of Nelson. Just before the fight Gans received the following telegram from his mother: "Joe the eyes of the world are on you. Everybody thinks you ought to win. Peter Jackson will bring me the news, you bring back the bacon." Mr. Gans, through the columns of the COLORADO STATESMAN, your Denver admirers extend to you the of congratulation on your victory and says that you have at least skinned two whole hogs—Nolan and Nelson—and will have plenty of bacon to take home.

College Man's Place in Industrial and Commercial Life By BARON HERMAN VON SPECK-STERNBURG, German Ambassador at Washington. HE more science progresses, the more will the college man be needed in other engineering industries, especially in railway engineering. We are approaching the time when no railway repair or locomotive shop can work without university mem. And still one hears from time to time ridicule expressed that the modern university claims to teach boys how to build dynamos or make typewriting machines or pianos. No university, I am sure, ever advanced such a claim because this has nothing to do with their functions. Their aims are higher. Such institutions for instance, as the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, the Ecole Polytechnique of Paris, the University of Tokio, and the Technical High Schools of Germany are not manual training schools. They were founded to educate the professional engineer, the officers of the vast industrial armies. These, like their comrades in the fighting armies, who must know how to groom or shoe a horse, or to clean a rifle, and pack a saddle, must become familiar with the materials and processes of their profession. Hence they are put through a certain amount of shop work in the engineering schools. The fact that a graduate of one of these schools is able to go to work in a locomotive shop or in a foundry is merely an incident of his training. He is not trained to work there, but to use his brains constantly to improve on the work. Another great step forward in our modern education, is the establishment of systematic university courses in lungs and heart, and, through them, all the other organs. This is the one athletic exercise that is general, and, furthermore, as it can be made light, medium or heavy, according as one swims slowly, at moderate speed or fast, it is a universal exercise that suits all strengths. Because each swimmer can thus suit his exertion to his strength, he may, by exerting himself a little more each day, finally increase his whole strength to a great degree through this one exercise. The like cannot be said of any other athletic sport. Without this being a full treatise on how to swim, a few hints to guide one in the art may be of value. First learn to kick properly. This is the pons asinorum of swimming. Not more than one out of ten swimmers kicks as he should. The nine bend their legs at the knee and kick the water back with their shins. The would-be swimmer, supported by a belt or by the hand of some person, should lie flat on his stomach with his legs drawn up and sprawled out like those of a broiled chicken. At the beginning of the stroke the feet are together; then in making the stroke, the legs are kicked strongly back, the soles of the feet pushing squarely against the water; and at the end of the stroke, the thighs are brought sharply together, the legs are more slowly drawn up, by bending at the hips and knees, for a second stroke, and so on. The breast stroke with the arms is simple. The fingers should be closed, hands slightly hollowed and even with the chest. They are then thrust straight out horizontally, then turned forward so that the palms will oppose the water, the arms, kept straight, are now opened wide and thrust back until they are at right angles with the body, when they are brought into their first position ready for a second stroke. The strokes of both pairs of limbs are simultaneous, that is, the hands start out from the chest, and the legs are drawn up for a kick, at the same time. The end of the kick should be simultaneous with the end of the arm stroke. Ordinarily, swimming is, however, rather violent, so it should not be continued too long, particularly as cold water, at first stimulating, is afterward depressing. No one should bathe longer than 20 minutes. A woolen bathing suit is the warmest. Greasing the body, as racers do, helps to retain the heat. As an exercise for women, swimming is especially valuable, it being as graceful as it is enjoyable and healthful. could not be as wicked as London is because it hasn't had the benefit of the long practice that London has. In London the millions of humans are used to the influences of the orient and the barbaric wickedness that the non-believers with their golden store to squander in riotous license have been indulging in for years and years beyond the time when every one of you had to be cutting your own kindling-wood or at least superintending the work. When I think of London my mind reverts to the third verse of the ninth chapter of Isaiah, which reads thus: "Thou hast multiplied the nation and not increased the joy: They joy before thee according to the joy in harvest and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil." It is a never-ending dissipation of spoil in London. T commerce and finance, like you possess for instance, in Illinois, Wisconsin and other places, and like Germany possesses in her High School of Commerce (Handelshochschule and Leipsic). The new university at Birmingham, England, I am told, has been laid out on American lines and has created a faculty of commerce. The new degree, "Bachelor of Commerce," shows the honor commerce to-day bestows upon science and that the technique of commerce has been placed on a par with the old classical education.

Of all outdoor exercises, swimming, from a health viewpoint, stands pre-eminent. The various modes of swimming on the stomach, on the back and on either side exert powerfully every muscle in the body; they also strongly exercise the ner organs. This is the one free, as it can be made light, at moderate speed or fast, s.

LAND WITHDRAWAL POLICY Second Day's Session Marked by Vigorous Debate—Payette Furnihes Cantaloupes—Address by Elwood Mead. Boise, Idaho.-The policy of withdrawing cast areas of the public domain from entry under the land laws in order to create forest reserves or conserve the water supply for purposes of irrigation, which has been vigorously opposed by influential interests in the West, had its defenders and its opponents at Tuesday night's session of the National Irrigation Congress. The debate was marked by a bitter attack on the national administration by United States Senator W. B. Heyburn of Idaho and a vitriolic exchange between Mr. Heyburn and Congressman Reeder of Kansas. At another stage of the debate Senator Heyburn was persistently hissed by his audience, and to obtain a hearing was forced to declare his intention to finish his remarks. Prof. J. V. Vernon of the New Mexico agricultural station addressed the congress on "Pumping for Irrigation in New Mexico." The slogan, "$100,000,000 for reclamation," was brought before the congress by Fred J. Kiesal of Ogden, chairman of the Utah delegation. Mr. Keisel said the West must go to Congress with this determination. He would not, he said, insist on this lump in one appropriation. He cited the great appropriation for the Philippines, for rivers and harbors and similar purposes and insisted that the West was justified in asking and demanding $100,000,000 more to be used in new projects. Mr. Keisel declared that the people of the West were not persistent enough, and said that they were not giving to irrigation the attention which the subject deserved. The governor of Nevada, he said, had promised to come and bring a train load of his people, but instead, and unfortunately, they were deflected by a prize fight at Goldfield. Leigh H. Freeman of North Yakima, Washington, was less modest than Mr. Keisel in his demand, which was $300-000,000 for irrigation." He asserted that England had expended an amount greater than this for irrigation in India, and other vast sums in Egypt. Tuesday was Payette cantaloupe day at the exposition. The melon of the Payette valley is esteemed as being superior and the people there determined to give the congrsr crowds a feast. With that end in view they shipped up an enormous number and distributed about 5,000 at their booth. Elwood Mead, in the course of his address, sald: "Colorado was the first state to pass a law requiring the measurement of the flow of ditches as a guide in the diversion of streams. I helped measure the first ditch under that law. "Wyoming was the first state to deal exclusively with the water as a public property, and I had much to do with reconciling men who before had believed that water was like air, to be taken by anybody without regulation or control, with a law which required them to secure a permit from the state before beginning a diversion. "The first trips of the water commissioner in Colorado were regarded as an impertinence. He was welcomed by the dog and threatened with the shotgun. I think the attitude of the irrigators of Colorado and Wyoming is the attitude of irrigators in every state when public control is first exercised." NATIONAL GRANGE. Annual Meeting to Be Held at Denver in November. Golden.—The executive committee of the Colorado State Grange has about completed arrangements for the National Grange session in Denver November 10th to 24th, inclusive. J. A. Newcomb, state master, was made chairman of the general committee on arrangements and he has the work well mapped out. Among other features will be an agricultural and horticultural exhibit at both the state capitol and Chamber of Commerce buildings. Farmers are requested to save their best products for this exhibit so the delegates from other states may see what Colorado soil will produce. Moses Hoover, chairman of the county commissioners of Boulder county, has been selected as chairman of the committee on agricultural and horticultural exhibits. E. Porter Smith will have charge of the honey exhibit. The Albany hotel has been made headquarters for the National Grange, the Colorado State Grange headquarters will be at the St. James hotel. All business sessions will be held in the Chamber of Commerce building. The conferring of degrees will occur in the Woman's Club building Friday afternoon and evening, November 16th. There are two degrees, that of flora, which is conferred by the State Grange, and that of Ceres, which is the seventh and National Grange degree, conferred only by the National Grange at its regular sessions. If satisfactory arrangements can be made with the railway companies there will be two or more excursions for the delegates and all others who wish to go. One will be a trip into the mountains and the other to some of the well-known agricultural districts. Palma Will Fight It Out. Havana.—President Palma in an interview Monday put an end to the expectation that he would make any concessions whatever to the rebels beyond the offer of pardon already extended. The president said he could not possibly make such concessions either now or hereafter, and could not see in any event what the government could offer beyond what had already been done. ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. A. G. Rhoads Dies at Denver, Aged Seventy. Denver, Colo.—The ranks of Colorado's pioneers were thinned once more by the death Tuesday night of Alonzo G. Rhoads, one of the oldest, best-known and best-liked of the men who have helped make the history of the state. Mr. Rhoads was fishing a few days ago on the Laramie river at Glen Davy, sixty-five miles west of Fort Collins, in company with his cousin, H. A. Hixer, who had come from Ashtabula, O., especially to go with him on the excursion. While in the midst of the sport the veteran pioneer was suddenly taken with a violent recurrence of a chronic intestinal trouble and came very close to death on the wagon trip to the railroad. He survived long enough to reach his home Tuesday in this city, but passed away Tuesday night at 10:30, surrounded by all the relatives he has with the exception of one sister. Alonzo G. Rhoads was born in Pleirpont, Ashtabula county, Ohio, December 10, 1836. He came to Colorado in 1860 and worked at his trade of blacksmith in Russell Gulch until 1869. In that year he went to Black Hawk, where he opened up a bakery and cracker business, which enlarged to such proportions that in October of 1879 he came to Denver and continued in the business. During the civil war he enlisted in Co. M. Third Colorado cavalry and since was a member of Lincoln Post, G. A. R., in Denver. He served two terms as president of the Pioneer Association and one term on the Denver school board. He was a member of Union lodge No. 7, A. F. and A. M., Denver chapter, No. 2, R. A. M., Colorado commandery, No. 1, Knights Templar, and El Jebel temple. Order of the Mystic Shrine. He married Miss Thalia A. Palmer at Elkader, Ia., in December, 1865, and the two crossed the plains with a team the following spring. During the last years of life he devoted a greater part of his time to philanthropy. At the time of his death he was treasurer of the Colorado Humane society and a director of the Associated Charities. His widow survives him, there being no children, and he is also survived by his three brothers, J. M. Halsey, M. and Ralph W., his sister, Mrs. L. A. Berry, all of Denver, and another sister, Mrs. M. E. Anson, of Monte Vista. SOUTHWEST EXCURSION Arranged by Denver Merchants and Manufacturers. Denver.—The manufacturers and merchants' excursion through Southwestern Colorado, which is scheduled to leave Denver at 5:10 p. m. Sunday, September 16, promises to be one of the greatest that has ever left Denver. Unusual enthusiasm is being displayed on all sides. The Denver people are anxious to meet their patrons in Southwestern Colorado and from the communications that are being received daily by the Colorado Manufacturers' Association from the different towns along the proposed route, they are evidently looking forward with pleasure to the arrival of their Denver guests. A special train of Pullmans has been chartered and the itinerary is as follows: Sunday, September 16, leave Denver. Monday, leave Creede at 8:30 a. m., visiting the following towns: Del Norte, Monte Vista, Alamosa, La Jarra, Antonito, Toltec, Chama, New Mexico; Monero, Lumberton, Durango, spending the night at Durango.

Wednesday, leave Ouray at 8:30 a. m. for Ridgeway, Telluride, and Montrose, where that night will be spent. Thursday, leave Montrose, visiting Paonia, Hotchkiss, Delta, Grand Junction, Palisades, De Beque, Grand Valley, Rifle, New Castle, thence to Glenwood where the party will remain long enough to take a dip in the famous pool. Friday the party will visit Aspen, Carbondale and Leadville, where the night will be spent. Saturday, leave Leadville at 10 a. m. for Buena Vista, Salida, Canon City and Florence, leaving Florence that night and arriving home Sunday morning, September 23. INDIAN TROUBLES. Reported Serious Outbreak in British Columbia. Vancouver, B. C.—Five thousand Indians upon the Babine river and lake at the headquarters of the Skeena river, 190 miles from the coast, have broken out in open revolution. A call has been sent to Vancouver for the militia. The hostilities occurred because the federal fisheries officials attempted to break down the barricade which the Indians had erected across the river and streams leading to Babine lake and other spawning grounds of the sockeye salmon. A rush call came from Hazleton, at the head of navigation upon the Skeena river, for a force of militia. The message announced the threatened conflict between the government officials and Indians had occurred and the former had been forced to retire because of the superior number of Indians. News of the trouble was wired to Ottawa and Premier McBride of British Columbia. Action upon the part of the authorities in response to the call is now awaited. The scene of the trouble is 500 miles from Vancouver, in a wild region. Will Extradite Stensland. Washington.—The Moorish authorities will interpose no objection to the removal to America of Paul C. Stensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank of Chicago, cables Minister. Gummere at Tangier to-day. Stensland is a prisoner in the American legation there. If a warship cannot be he had he will be brought back on a merchant ship. He confesses that he meant to go to Russia. EDUCATOR SHOES Keep the child's foot as nature intended, as shown at the left.

A HEALTHY OLD AGE OFTENTHEBESTPARTOFLIFE Providence has allotted us each at least seventy years in which to fulfill our mission in life, and it is generally our own fault. If we die prematurely. Mrs. MaryKoehne Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything becomes a garden and you cannot walk a few blocks without excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear to be crossed in anything, you are in danger; your nerves have given out; you need building up at once! To build up woman's nervous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here is an illustration, Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371 Garfield Avenue, Chicago, Ill., writes: "I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for years in my family and it never disappoints; so when I felt that I was nearing the change of life I commenced treatment with it. I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the headaches with which I had suffered for months before taking the Compound. I feel that I should have been able for women that I should not have been alive to-day. It is splendid for women, old or young, and will surely cure all female disorders." Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., invites all sick and ailing women to write her for advice. Her great experience is at their service, free of cost.

The annual meeting of the Colorado Bar Association will be held at Colorado Springs September 27th and 28th. On August 31st, for the first time in the history of the health department of Denver, there was not a single case of diphtheria in the city. The finest of weather and an unusually large and fine parade combined to make the Labor day celebration in Denver one of the most successful ever held. Labor day at Colorado Springs was mostly devoted to excursions and picnics. Judge W. P. Seeds and Judge Ben B. Lindsey addressed a large audience at the union picnic in Stratton park. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Buchanan, two and a half years old, was drowned September 1st in an irrigating ditch at the Buchapan home in the Animas valley above Durango. The Democratic candidate in Maine for governor, Cyrus W. Davis of Waterville, has made his fortune largely in Colorado mines. He has been interested in various Colorado properties for many years. The Victor Fuel Company has sold the Mexican Central railroad 150,000 tons of coal, to be delivered at Juarez, Mexico. Most of this coal will be taken from Las Animas county mines and 90,000 tons has been delivered. Denver will have an assessed valuation of $115,750,000 for the coming year. As Denver is credited with over one hundred millionaires, it is apparent that they are the only people in the city who own taxable property. In the district court at Trinidad the Murder charge against James T. Davis, marshal of Aguilar, indicted for killing a Mexican while trying to stop a street fight, was nolle prossed on the 4th inst. and the defendant discharged.

His train ran into the rear portion of a freight train which had broken off from the main body. Justice of the Peace Hudson, of Denver, laid down the law to a saloon-keeper who recently tried to hold a suit of clothes to enforce payment of a liquor bill. The booze man was told that it couldn't be done and was given an hour to deliver the clothes, under penalty of punishment for larceny. While removing boulders from the track of the boom at the Banner placer near Breckenridge on the 4th inst., John A. Neslund was struck by a rush of water and carried down the stream, his head striking the bottom of the ground sluice in such a manner as to break his neck and fracture his skull, resulting in instant death.

By express a few days ago Governor McDonald received a box containing three dozen fine mountain trout. The gift came from George Roosevelt, nephew of President Roosevelt, who, in company with Lieutenant Land of the United States army, has been fishing in the Gunnison. The fish sent to the governor at Denver represented a two days' catch of George Roosevelt and party. Enveloped in flames through the ignition of matches which he carried in his pocket, William A. Haffey, a substitute elevator pilot at the state capitol, in Denver, barely escaped a horrible death, and the sight of his burning clothing created panic among numerous passengers in the car where the incident occurred. Joseph Boyd, the regular pilot, snatched off his own coat and extinguished the flames. Denver merchants have arranged a trade excursion to the western part of the state on Sept. 16. The trip will consume one week exactly. Among the towns included in the itinerary are Leadville, Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Carbondale, New Castle, Salida, Paonia, Buena Vista, Grand Junction. The excursion is under the charge of Thomas Scott, manager of the Colorado Manufacturers' association. John Zimmerman, conducting a hotel at Home, in Larimer county, sixty miles northwest of Fort Collins, caught a bear in a trap one night recently at his ranch, and the bear escaped by gnawing off the foot by which he was held prisoner in the trap. From the size of the foot in the trap the bear must have been a huge one, and is supposed to be the slayer of many young cows and colts which ranchmen in that vicinity have lost during the last month. North Dakota Solves the Adulteration Problem. North Dakota seems to have found the key to the question, "How shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" A new law has recently gone into effect designed to make it impossible to deceive people into buying inferior and adulterated paint under the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.: pure white lead and linseed oil. The North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit the inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments. They adopted the slogan, "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, if any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which are found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer genuine white lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label which says "pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are often sold as pure white lead which contain little—sometimes no—real white lead. It would seem that were this same principle applied to food, beverages and all other prepared articles, where deception is practiced upon the buyer, the question would be solved. It would leave us free to buy what we pleased, but would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. DONKEYS TURN UP TOES. Don't Know Enough to Get in Out of the Rain. The war department has learned through experience that the American donkey has not sense enough to live in the Philippines. Some time ago, more in the nature of an experiment than for any other reason, the bureau of insular affairs sent a dozen American donkeys, commonly known as "burros," to Manila for use among the Spanish-speaking people. The natives did not take kindly to the new species, however, but rather looked at them from afar off. Seven died. Such was the news received at the bureau recently. When the torrential rains set in the little animals were caught out in the open, and not knowing how to shelter themselves like the native beast of burden, seven docile, dumb beasts turned up their toes. "They ought to die," said a war department official who has a deep interest in everything pertaining to the Philippines; "they ought to die if they don't know enough to get in out of the rain." WORN TO A SKELETON. A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation in a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was fading fast.

My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. False Alarm. From the valley there came a cloud of dust and a distant rumble. The man of the stone age rushed up the mountain and perched himself on the highest peak. "Shucks!" exclaimed the fugitive, as he slipped down to the valley again, "it is only a poor dinosaur roaming about for his breakfast. From the noise I thought it must be an automobile." And the man went back to his peaceful occupation of hewing an apartment house out of a solid cliff. To keep your auto looking bright use the following mixture for all painted parts: Sperm oil, one-half pint; common vinegar, one-half pint; oil bergamot, one dram. Mix and rub with clean cloth. For all brass work use tripoll, one and one-half pounds; any lubricating oil, eight ounces; gasoline, three quarts. This is one of the best cleaners for all polished brass. If you contemplate buying a medium priced automobile and want to be certain of securing a car suitable for touring on country roads, up hill as well as down hill, you will make no mistake in buying either a Buleck, Maxwell, Mitchell, Reo, Knox, Franklin or Queen. These range in price from $750 to $2,000. Congressman Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, who was in London as a delegate to the interparliamentary union, has written a life of John Sherman, which will be published this fall.

THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. The first consideration in the matter of food is nutrition, the next facility of digestion and assimilation.

The combination of colors wag exceedingly good and, by electric light; it takes on a certain shimmer which is most attractive. ‘The matinee is a more informal garment than the tea gown, and, in fact, is suitable only for morning, as its name suggests. It is made of a variety of materials—fgured muslin, embroidered muslin, _lace-trimmed muslin—in plain colors or in figured. The smartest are made with a skirt on which are one or two ruffles plaited o1 gathered, either of the material or em A sense of humor is even more es- sential to success at the milliner’s than at the dressmaker's.

It is cut like a very full sacque coat drawn in ut the waist under a ribbon sash which ties in front.

Materials required: 8 yards flannel, 1% yard plain and 2% yards ribbon. To revert to the elaborate tea gown again, one striking fad this year in connection therewith is the use of ar tificial flowers in trimming, and the most elaborate tea gowns show this fashion either in one large flower ot little garlands of flowers made of chif: fen or silk or of the cloth of gold o1 silver. As may easily be imagined these trimmings of flowers are not ir keeping with anything but a_ very elaborate style of gown, one that is suitable for a dinner at home, but are nut for a moment to be thought of for general wear or for the plainer style of tea gowns such as are made o} vulvet, panne velvet, by the way, being a fashionable material this season fot this purpose, although it is on a sever er order than the brocades or chiffons either plain or colored.» cA = ¢ flatic, Z g — = Mlle h el he ak LEP Finest hand work in the city. waman is alfWays she whose sense of humor includes in its application her own personality. it is becoming more and more ap- parent that the ready-trimmed hats are gradually crowding out the idea of the made-to-order hat, for when a spiéndid line of hats is put out for in- spection and the customer is assured that there is no possibility of them be- ing closely duplicated, the customer chooses the ready-trimmed hat, not only because it is cheaper, but because it has that touch of style which so ofien is impossible to get in the work- room of the store.

Braid is to be extensively used in trimming fall dresses, and latest in- formation from Parls indicate that many of the best makers are using braids for trimming furs as well. Most of the tailormade garments offered for sale are of the one piece princess or empire style. Broaden- ing of the shoulders is produced on many of the new models by trimmings which partake of the form of shoulder capes as well as sleeve caps. Tassel and fringe effects are among the nov- elty trimmings noted on imported models. ‘The gown shown herewith {s an em- pire made of willow green linen. ‘The skirt is mounted on an Empire bodice cut low in the neck to show a chemisette of lace with jabot of the same.

He had been so intently read- ing it before starting with his passen- gers as to be almost abstracted, al- though very lively and handy with the actual work once the start was made. “(ll bet that book is an Indian fighting blood-and-thunder,” whispered one passenger to another he knew. “No; he’s too old for that—I'd say it was a thriller of a love romance.” “Or one of the six best sellers of the month,” interjected a third. Everybody was interested. All were “rubbering” at the book and when thé group of passengers got out of the cage one deliberately stooped and looked at it. “Young America forever,” he said; “it is a volume of Blackstone.

'NOT VIOLATION OF SCRIPTURE. ‘Clergyman Had Sufficient Reason for Urging Divorce. ‘ | One of the witnesses caled in a Chi- cago divorce case last year was a highly respected clergyman in the Windy City. According to one of the counsel in the case, the following con- yersation took place between the judge and the minister, Said His Honor: ‘Dr. Blank, if you were on the bench fn my stead, and you were acquainted ‘with all the circumstances of this case, would you grant this divorce?” “Assuredly I would, Your Honor,” replied the clergyman, withovt the least hesitation. | “But,” said the judge, “how do you Teconcile this assertion with the in- function of Scripture, ‘Whom God hath joined let no man put asunder’?” “Your Honor,” responded the min- ister, with convincing gravity, “I am quite satisfied that the Almighty never | Joined this couple.”—Harper's Weekly. Composer Over Fond ef Coffee: The Italian composer Donizetti was accustomed to immure himself in a room, with a quantity of music paper, pen and ink, and three or four Softes pots full of coffee. He began imbib ing these when he began to write and continued until the supply was ex. hausted. Then he ordered in more, and when that was finished another supply. The amount of coffee which he drank was fabulous—yet he deem. ed it entirely necessary for his inspira- tion. As the result of such extraor- inary habit the once handsome man contracted the yellow complexion which we are apt to associate with a chinese or a Hindoo; his lips were generally jet black, his nervous sys- tem broke down, and this brought in its active train the premature decay of his faculties, a OTT 9C DITADANACW COTTRELL’S PHARMACY, DR.

Denver, Colo Played Golf Game at Night. This is a description of a game of golf which was played in the Shetland islands one night this summer: “The first ball was driven from the tee at five minutes to 12 (midnight) and @ full double round of eighteen holes was played, the match terminating at 2:30, The light was so good that the balls coulti easily be seen where they lay after having been driven well from the tee and there was never any difficulty in finding them. Shortly af- ter 12 o'clock the lark was heard in full song, and it was broad daylight by the time the match was finished. The experiment was such a success that it was repeated on several sub- sequent occasions.” MILLINERY Sounds of Words Necessary. In ordinary practice writing is a de vice to bring to mind sounds which are well known. Unless the sounds are well known, or can be made known by other means, the written characters fail both to convey them to those who study them or in pre serving them after the language of which they are a part has vanished, ‘The written characters which repre. sent the ancient languages are easily translated by the scholar, but the sounds are lost.

Two in- fants, from different parents, were taken to a hospital suffering from fe- ver. One died and was buried; the other recovered and was handed to {ts supposed mother. She, however, found that the child was not hers, and inquiries showed thet it was her baby which was dead, and that the living child belonged to the other wnman. An affecting scene occurred between the two woman when the truth came to light—London Daily Mail. Police Present Ambulances.
