Springfield Republican of Massachusetts, Speks of the Negro Soldiers in the Most Flattering Manner. VOL. XIII, THE NEGRO SOUTH AND I Springfield Republican of the Negro So Flattering "... whether in field or tent Scorn not the black regiment." The Texas congressman who has introduced a bill providing for the disbandment of the Negro regiments of the United States army proposes the short cut for the solution of the black soldier difficulty which now besets the war department more acutely than at any time since these regiments were organized in the civil war. But the bill will not pass because the politicians cannot afford to shoulder such a responsibility. No reason exists for disbanding these regiments, other than the reason extracted from the root of race prejudice. It is true, as Secretary Taft wrote to Senator Culberson of Texas, that "no matter where colored troops are sent, there are always some objections to their coming." But, on the other hand, "it has sometimes happened that communities which objected to the coming of the soldiers, have, on account of their good conduct entirely changed their view and commended their good behavior to the war department." On the average the colored soldiers, of the records show, have been as well behaved the past 40 years as the white troops. They have special faults, more emphasized than the same faults in white regiments, such as gambling and serious fighting among themselves when their quarrels break out. But these intestine feuds are peculiarly affairs for regimental discipline and usually affect the white race rather remotely. Some writer of the Negro race would find material worthy of his pen for a history of the Negro soldier in America. It was in the civil war that the blacks were first organized into regiments, several of these volunteer organizations serving on the federal side with distinction. The confederate government, in the days of its extermity, also provided for the enlistment of the slaves, a fact now worth remembering. Gen. Lee became an earnest advocate of Negro soldiers. On January 11,1865 he wrote: "My opinion is that we should employ them without delay. I believe that with proper regulations they can be made efficient soldiers." And the general added that the confederate government should "give immediate freedom to all who enlist and freedom at the end of the war to the families of those who discharge their duties faithfully." And even more than that, wrote Gen. Lee, it would be well "to accompany the measure with a well-digested plan of gradual and general emancipation." The confererate commander's views are very interesting, especially because he was so willing to have service in the army by the blacks, who had in bulk remained faithful to the South during the long blast of war, lead to the freedom of the race. Howell Cobb of Georgia was irreconcilable, saying with grim logic: "If slaves will make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong." But General Lee's plan was followed and the confederate Congress authorized the recruiting of Negro troops. The end of the war that spring cut short the enlistment of the blacks, but one or two organizations were recruited before the peace. The ruin of the confederacy caused no trace to be left in military affairs of the confederate government's final resort to the soldier. But the Negro volunteer regiments of the federal army made permanent impress upon our military system. When the army was reduced to the peace footing in 1866. Congress provided for four regiments of regular Negro infantry and two regiments of Necavalry. In 1869, the four infantry regiments were consolidated into two, which have been known to this day as the 24th and 25th. The two regiments of Negro cavalry, the 9th and the 10th, have never been reorganized or disbanded, so that at the present time the four black regiments of United States regulars have a continuous history of some 40 years. There was almost nothing heard of these colored soldiers either in the East or the South, or the West this side of the Mississippi river, until the Spanish war. The four black regiments were used through- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1906. out the land. The records of the war department are crowded with thrilling incidents of frontier warfare in which the colored soldiers, particularly the troopers, were engaged. The 9th and 10th cavalry were active in the Apache and Geronimo campaigns. It was with four troops of the 9th cavalry that Maj. Guy V. Henry, in December, 1890, galloped to the rescue of the 7th cavalry in the Northwest, immediately after the same Negro troopers had completed a forced march of 100 in 24 hours. This 9th Cavalry, which in the Spanish war was conspicuous in the charge upon Kettle hill, at Santiago, spent years after the civil war in maintaining law and order in western Texas and New Mexico and protecting the old stage route from San Antonio to El Paso. In the opening up to white settlement of a vast territory beyond the Mississippi, the black regiments performed a notable and valuable service for the white race. With the disappearance of the old frontier in the United States, which was coincident substantially with the Spanish war, the Negro soldiers have become more a part of the garrison of civilization in the various settled parts of the country. Since the Spanish war, it may be said, and since then only, has the disposition of these troops been troublesome to the government. It is a new question of army administration, comparatively speaking, and to assume that it is one impossible of satisfactory adjustment would be a flagrant illustration of premature judgment. The colored race in America has earned by hard service in toilsome march and bloody field the right to serve under the flag. The black regiments have come up and through the furnace of war and they will stay with the colors. SENATOR FORAKER Bravely Defends the Rights of the Black Man. Ohio's senior senator, the Hon Joseph Benson Foraker, made one of the grandest speeches recently in behalf of the Negro. "It seems incredible that the government that is all powerful to accomplish a long list of deeds—that is all powerful to do the works that have been wrought at home and abroad is yet, nevertheless, incapable of protecting at home, on our own soil under our own flag, in the enjoyment of all his constitutional and political rights, our humblest citizen. "It is our boast, and has been for 40 years that we abolish slav- ery and lift the Negro up out of his degradation to a plane of political equality with all other citizens, in the presence of our constitution and our laws. "With the encouragement and inspiration thus given him, the black man has, during these 40 years, made a great deal of progress. "The four and a half millions of Negroes of 1860 practically owned nothing. Nearly all of them were owned by somebody else. "And yet while we have seen their population barely double, we have seen them accumulate property which they today own in their own right, to the amount of more than five hundred millions of dollars. "We have seen them, while struggling up out of proverb, yet seeking and finding education, until there probably not one man in a thousand could then read and write, less than 40 per cent now are illiterate. "We have seen them establishing schools and colleges and banks and univerities of their own and successfully conducting them. "They have their bad classes as every other people have, as a people they have ever been loyal to the American institutions and loyal the American flag. "And yet it would seem as though this very loyalty and patriotism and progress they are making today militating against their happiness and their security not only in one section, but everywhere through the whole country North as well as South. "Almost every day we read of unlawful outbreaks against them, for which there does not seem to be any adequate power of either prevention or punishment lodged anywhere, except only in local authorities, who too frequently are either unable or unwilling to exercise it. "If this violence were aimed at only the guilty it would be a great crime against society and that law and order which the safety of our institutions depends, but too frequently it stricks down the innocent and takes on the hideous form of brutal and indiscrimination murder that shocks and deadens the moral sensibilities of the whole nation. "What the remedy is to be for this condition of things does not seem clear; but that there must be found a remedy is clear, and it is the duty of thoughtful men of all sections and parties to find it. "It is important to protect Cubans in Cuba, but it is even more important to protent Americans in America." Joe Gans wins not only in the ring but in the stock market. He recently had a certificate of stock presented to him and later found it to be worth $3000. INNOCENT NEGROES SAVED INNOCENT NEGROES SAVED By White Men from Death in Christmas Riots. New Orleans, La., Dec. 27. That white men protected innocent Negroes and that every effort is making by the whites to punish those "hoodlums" of their own race who were responsible for the Christmas riots in Kemper county, Mississippi, was the information in detailed accounts arriving early to-day from the little towns which were the scene of the bloodshed. "A conference has been held," these dispatches say, "between the civil and military authorities at which evidence was produced that will establish the identity of five white men of good families of the county who took part in the lynchings. District Attorney Surrie has made a public statement in which he says: "I found upon an investigation that the trouble was caused by a lot of hoodlums and outlaws who openly violated oil laws of God and man and decency. The four men killed Christmas day were not connected with the affair in any manner and I am informed that the houses were occupied by Negroes who were not even in sympathy with any of those who were connected with the outrages. These men will be captured if it is in the power of the state of Mississippi to do this.'' The dispatches say that the total death list is probably twelve; that the mob element among the whites mostly fled toward the Alabama state line, while Negroes in terror have gathered at Scooba and Wahalaka to place themselves under the protection of troops or of citizens. The killing of a Negro named Calvin Nicholson is reported as "one of the most brutal which has occurred since the days of reconstruction." Nicholson was a Negro of the best class. While a posse was searching for a Negro named Simpson, who had killed a deputy, they entered Nicholson's house, and several persons began shooting at him. Deputy Sheriff Alexander and two others rushed to the Negro, shielding him with their bodies. They protected him until overpowered after which he was shot and his house burned. District Attorney Curtis says he has fixed the blame for this murder upon three men and will arrest them if they are still in the state. Three companies of the troops left their homes to-day, leaving the situation to be taken care of by the remaining command. Governor Vardaman left for Jackson this afternoon. He said the whole trouble would be investigated. NO. 14. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 23. From 130 to 150 members of the Brotherhood of Railway Fireman walked out this afternoon at 5 o'clock on the San Antonio division of the Southern Pacific, Atlantic system. Negroes are being substituted for the striking firemen. Macon Negroes who inaugurated the fight against the Macon lodge of Elks, in an effort to secure a colored order of the name, have appealed to the state supreme court and will there make another fight against the injunction granted by Acting Judge A. L. Miller several days ago in Bibb superior court. The white Macon Elks are fighting the case through Judge John P. Ross and the appeal will be a matter of interest and will be a matter of interest to lodges throughout the country. NEGRO ARCHETEGT NEGRO ARCHETEGT The committee on awards of the Jamestown Exposition has accepted the designs of William Sidney Pittman, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, for the administration building of the Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company, which is to have charge of the Negro exhibit at the exposition. Negroes are to have exclusive charge of the exhibit, for which the United States government has appropriated $100,000. The building is to be of colonial design, with an extended colonial porch with four massive columns. The exterior walls are to be of pebble dash plaster work, finished in natural cement color. The building will be of two stories, the first containing 38,000 square feet of exhibit space and the second being primarily intended for an auditorium, with a seating capacity of 6,000. The architect whose plans have been accepted began his studies at Tuskegee in the wheelwright work school. He showed such ability for architectural drawing and designing that Dr. Washington and others persuaded him to stay at the institution and take an advanced course in architecture. Dr. Washington and several of the executive officers of Tuskegee advanced him the money to complete a three-year course at Drexel Institute at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mr. Pittman was graduated with honors from the institute and returned to Tuskegee as architect. For a year he has been engaged in his profession in Washington.

EIGHT HUNDRED RESCUED Millions of Dollars Worth of Property Saved—Good Work at San Francisco—Now Two Hundred and Seventy-Eight Stations. Washington.—Important work was accomplished during the past year by the life-saving service of the government, thousands of imperiled lives and millions of dollars' worth of property being saved through the heroism and unremitting vigilance of the life corps. General Superintendent Kimball shows in his annual report that the number of marine disasters was 849 in the waters of the United States. In these forty-nine vessels and twenty-nine lives were lost and 811 persons were succiced at the various stations. The total value of personal property saved was $12,256,100, while that lost was $2,775,040. In the disasters 5,320 lives were imperiled. At the close of the last fiscal year the live saving establishments comprised 278 stations, of which 200 were upon the Atlantic coast, sixty upon the great lakes, sixteen upon the Pacific coast proper and one each at the falls of the Ohio river and Nome, Alaska. The life-saving crews rendered assistance of more or less importance to 397 vessels in towage to those which were lost. Patrolmen and station lookouts also warned ninety-seven steamers and seventy-seven sailing vessels which were running into danger, the warnings undoubtedly averted disasters which would have caused loss of both life and property. Particularly valuable assistance, it is noted, was rendered by the life-saving crews at San Francisco during the earthquake and conflagration last April, in fighting the fire, transporting supplies and sheltering the homeless. Superintendent Kimball says that during the year seven of the largest-sized lifeboats have been equipped with gasoline engines. They constitute a most important addition to the life-saving equipment and materially enlarge the radius of the effective work of the crews. Superintendent Kimball points out that the great service has cost the government only $1,832,465. He urges strongly the benefits of retirement be given to officers and men of the service who become disabled through injury or disease or incapacitated by age. COMING CONVENTIONS. Important Gatherings to Be Held at Denver in January. Denver. — The most-important of the conventions to be held at Denver in January will be that of the American National Live Stock Association in connection with which there will be a great stock show, horse show and sale that will attract buyers and breeders from all sections.

Denver. — Charles Taylor, State boiler inspector, has submitted the eighteenth annual report of that department to Governor McDonald. During the period from December 1, 1905, to November 30, 1906, there have been 1,112 boilers inspected, rich fees collected and certificates issued for that number. There were no boiler explosions in the state during that period, but many boilers were found defective, for which repairs were ordered. Five boilers were condemned. Mr. Taylor states that the tendency to substitute high pressure for low is responsible for the fact that there is no increase in the number of boilers in use. Wild Scenes at Hotel Fire. Denver.—Roused from their slumbers Christmas night by an alarm of fire, twenty young women, employees of the Albany hotel, rushed from their quarters, 1737 California street, near the hotel, and fled to the street in their night robes, to escape the flames that were sweeping through the building. Terrified by such an abrupt awakening they did not stop to gather their belongings, most of which perished in the fire. All of the young women ran into the night, air barefooted and in light attire, and until the hotel management made suitable provisions they were sheltered at the headquarters of the Denver Walters' Club, across the street. The fire was soon put out. PIANO SALE Blizzard Stops Big Suipment of Pianos at Denver and Sacrifice Sale Ordered.

The discharge of the colored soldiers has raised such a protest as to almost stop the business of Congress. The facts are to be gone into fully. The court-martial of the officers will bring the whole question to the light of day. Senator Foraker has locked horns with the President in a political struggle that will effect the whole Republican party and the public awaits the issue with bated breath. Both the President and Congress will investigate the question and the whole question will be aired unless southern senators block the way by refusing to vote on the Foraker resolution. There is at least one outcome to the matter that is encouraging to the Negro, and that is the evidence that he still has many friends. Not that they particularly love him, but that they will not see him unnecessarily harmed or injured. CHRISTMAS OVER it a fine day! Did you have a good time! Do these happy!

Did you make somebody else happy! Denver enjoyed splendid weather. Band concerts in the park to which thousands went. A big fire in the city which thousands witnessed. Splendid dinners which thousands enjoyed. No great accidents in Denver or Colorado. But the race suffered sorrow and death in Mississippi; also at Atlanta and in Birmingham, Alabama, where mobs, riots, rum, guns, rope and flames got in their deadly work, and as a result fifty to a hundred of the race perished. The closing weeks of the year and the happiest day in the calendar are often mistaken by the populace and instead of being made days of peace and joy are turned into days of hate and murder. Until the masses of the people learn to worship the gift of Christmas and not the day its meaning will not be understood. It is the message of Christmas and not its occasion that has brought joy and peace to the world. NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS My New Year to all of our readers.

He reports a delightful home all along the line, but is wearing the gladiator and the Queen of the Rockies. While was the guest of his brother-in-law, Mr. and M. W. J. Wieks, who showed him the Windy City he was also in attendance and shown marked for Sunday Club, the prototype of the People's S Proprietor Rivers is back from his holiday trip East, where he played Santa Claus at the old home. He reports a delightful trip and hearty welcome all along the line, but is wearing the glad smile to be back in Colorado and the Queen of the Rockies. While-in Chiego Mr. Rivers was the guest of his brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Speneer Watts, and W. J. Wieks, who showed him the Windy City in strenuous style. He was also in attendance and shown marked favors by the West Side Sunday Club, the prototype of the People's Sunday Alliance. A trip on the Twentieth Century New York flyer is a thing not to be forgotten and then to Baltimore, where he was the guest of his sisters, Mesdames Alice Chamberlain and Mrs. Annie Key, whose husbands are ministers of the gospel. From Baltimore to Washington, D.C., the capital of the nation, where he was the guest of his mother, Mrs. Mary Rivers, and daughter, Mrs. Eliza Butler. Here he met with our friends Rev. O. W. J. Scott and Dr. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, and was accompanied to the United States Senate where he listened to some of the greatest speeches on subjects referring to the race. Old John Paynter, messenger to the speaker of the House, showed him every courtesy. His homeward stop was made at Kansas City, where he was made comfortable by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Stafford and that prince of men, Bishop Grant. In response to questions concerning the East his reply is, it is good, but Colorado is better. The East offers exceptional opportunities for men with means, influence and position, but the West offers better opportunity for men to gain prosperity, influence and power. The West is the poor man's country, and we are glad to be home again to boost for Denver. With a new postoffice and a new change of business center, of which the postoffice is the focus point, we expect to see Denver grow as never before.

AT THE LAS ANIMAS JAIL Lynching Party Made Up of Disciplined Men Under Leadership—Sheriff and Force Overpowered and Disarmed. Denver.—A Republican special from Las Animas, Colorado, Thursday night says: Infuriated by the flendiesness of the crime and by their failure to lynch Leberg last night, fifty masked men, heavily armed, tonight broke into the jail, overpowered Sheriff John D. Brown and two deputies, bound and gagged them, and threw them into a cell. They then secured Lars Leberg, the murderer of Henry Lanvenmeyer, and hung him to a telegraph pole in the railroad yards an hour after they attacked the jail. The lynching was done so quietly that only those directly concerned in the hanging knew anything unusual was about to occur, and it was fully an hour after the man was dead before the people generally knew that Leberg had paid the penalty of his crime. The disorderly, leaderless mob of last night was transformed into a thoroughly disciplined body of men under a leader whose commands were obeyed with alacrity. There was no shouting, no shooting, no loud talking, and the man was secured from the jail and taken out in less than an hour from the time the lynchers started to make their way into the jail. The men who meted out death to Leberg met little resistance at the hands of the peace officers. When the mob arrived at the jail they sought these officers and before they could offer resistance they were helpless. While it is believed that Leberg was insane, the feeling against the man was so intense that the avengers would not risk his being declared insane by the courts, so that the murder of the popular farmer would go unavenged. Nothing can be learned as to the identity of the men who to-night took justice into their own hands, but it is generally believed that they were close friends of the murdered farmer and from the section where the deceased lived and where the atrocious crime was committed. The people of the city generally believed that the attempt to lynch Leberg had been given up, as during the day there were no demonstrations of any sort against the man and no threats made openly that he would be made to pay the death penalty for his fiendish crime. Before Las Animas knew that the man had been hanged Leberg had been dead more than an hour. Details of the arrival of the lynching party at the jail were divulged by two negroes confined in the jail for petty offenses. It was just 8:45 when the fifty men, completely armed, made their appearance at the jail and demanded of the sheriff that the prisoner, LeBung, be turned over to them. The demand met with instant refusal. Without further words the leaders of the mob disarmed and overpowered Sheriff Brown, Marshal McCune and Undersheriff McAffee. The three men were then gagged and bound, thrown into a cell and left there while the mob began the effort to get Leberg out of the steel cage in which he was confined. The work of the mob last night had made entrance to the jail comparatively easy. All that was left between the mob and the prisoner was the steel gage, which the mob last night battered in vain. With the fifty men was one who was evidently well acquainted with the mechanism of the lock on the steel cage. The lock last night resisted all efforts of the mob, but in a few minutes tonight the locksmith of the party managed to break it and effect an entrance to the cell of Leberg. When the avengers arrived at the jail Leberg was in bed. When he heard them he got up and dressed, and when the men broke into the cell he met them calmly and allowed the leaders to put a rope around his neck without resistance. In thirty minutes, that is at 9:15, Leberg was brought out of the cell, and the rope put around his neck. He was then led by the mob to a telegram pole in the railroad yards about 1.50 yards from the jail. Without evidence of excitement, and with absolutely no noise, the rope was hoisted over an arm of the pole and Leberg was jerked twenty feet off the ground by twenty men. No shots were fired at the body, and there was absolutely no other demonstration. While it is believed by many that Leberg was insane, and that no sane man could have committed the crime charged against him, the feeling ran so high among the friends of his victim, who are believed to have been the men who composed the mob who hung Leberg, that nothing would satisfy them except the meting out of summary punishment. Santa Fe Pension System. Chicago.—As a New Year's gift to more than 30,000 employees, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company has announced the inauguration of one of the most liberal pension systems on any railroad in the United States. It will become effective January 1st and its provisions will be applicable to every employee of the entire system, involving an outlay probably of millions, as its scope is broadened by the retirement of those reaching the age limit or becoming incapacitated, through their employment, for further usefulness. Employees may be pensioned at sixty-five. Freight Rate Reduced.

Cancer is far from incurable, according to Dr. Nicholas Senn, in a lecture on "The Problem of Cancer," at the University of Chicago. Dr. Senn declared that 50 per cent. of the cases of cancer which are brought to the attention of physicians in the first stages may be cured. In the course of his lecture Dr. Senn advocated the establishment of some sort of bureau to keep the public informed as to the nature and the cures of cancer, as is done in some cities of Europe. Many of the victims of cancer prevent cures by becoming despondent and keeping away from good physicians, he said. "If the disease is detected in its early stages a cure may be affected," said Dr. Senn, "but if it is allowed to go to an advanced stage nothing can be done." Buck Killed by Lioness. A desperate fight between a large lioness and a buck of unusual size occurred in the mountains on upper Beaver creek early this week, according to J. W. Huff, when riding the hills in search of cattle, who was an eyewitness of the battle, says the Canon City, Colorado correspondent of the Denver Republican. He said the fight started on the scraggy point of a mountain, where the lioness jumped onto the deer, which turned and fought the lioness with its antlers and hoofs. They rolled down the hillside into a gulch, breaking down oak trees as they fought. The battle did not last a great while, as the lioness was much the stronger. The deer was badly clawed and chewed and soon fell from loss of blood. Mechanical Smoker The Department of Agriculture has employed a cigar smoking machine in a series of tobacco tests. The machine has four mouthpieces, in one end of which a cigar is inserted. For ten seconds the smoke is drawn in and exhaled. While the smoking is under way careful note is taken by experts of the way the filling and wrapper burn, the ash is examined and the color observed. The plant from which each of the cigars is made is known, and from the one making the best showing seed is selected for planting. The experiments are resulting in the raising of better American tobacco. Two Strawberry Crops. Some interesting experiments in strawberry culture are reported from the truck farming districts of the southern states. The most recent results are announced from a small valley in Tennessee. There the fruit growers have successfully produced a second crop of strawberries which equals the first of the season. The work has been accomplished through cultivating the beds and forcing the plants into bearing for the second time every year. As a result the New York markets are to be supplied with choice berries for the holidays. The innovation promises to make a big difference in the demand for cranberries and other fruits.

Impossible to Get Employment, as Face and Body Were Covered with Sores—Cured by Cuticura. "Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one sake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases." Thomas M.

The Cripple Creek Short Line will next summer establish a system of wireless telegraphy in connection with the train service between Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek. The apparatus will be installed in each observation car, the sender and receiver being attuned to the same pitch as that of the Forest wireless system at the Springs. The Interstate Commerce Commission is in need of expert stenographers and an examination will be held in Denver on January 2nd to secure eligibles to fill five vacancies. The position pays $1,500 per annum and traveling expenses. Applicants wishing to take the examination should apply to the secretary of the board of examiners at Denver. An appropriation of $60,000 will be asked of the General Assembly this year by the board of trustees of the Colorado State School of Mines. Forty thousand dollars of this money will be used if secured, for the erection of an up-to-date natatorium and gymnasium, and $20,000 will be used to help wipe out the indebentness of $37,021.81 now hanging over the school. The Mountains Reservoir Company, which has incorporated with a capital of $125,000, proposes to operate several reservoirs in Clear Creek, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties, known as Loch Lomond, Lake Caroline, Lake Stewart, Ohman lake, Ice lake, Chinn's lake and Fall River reservoir. Water will be taken from Fall river, Clear Creek and the Agricultural ditch. The following letter was received by the state treasurer at Denver a few days ago: "Dear Sir:—Having broken the laws of the state of Colorado, I will endeavor to make it right by enclosing $5. Respectfully yours." No name was signed to the letter, but the money was enclosed. It is the first conscience money ever turned into the state treasurer's office. No explanation was made regarding the manner of breaking the law. Mrs. Jas. M. Lehman, eighty-three years old and an invalid, who for several years had been a county charge, was burned to death in her cabin in the west end of Idaho Springs, on the afternoon of December 21st. She had been a sufferer from paralysis, and it is supposed that some rags, hung up to dry near the stovepipe, caught fire, and that when she tried to extinguish the blaze the flames were communicated to her clothing. W. H. Pigg has imported twenty-seven young elk from Rawlins, Wyoming, for his Stirrup ranch near Canon City. He has a game preserve of 700 acres enclosed with an eight-foot wire fence. For several years Mr. Pigg has been breeding elk and deer and has found it more profitable than the cattle business. Already Mr. Pigg has about thirty elk and a big herd of deer, and his experience is that they thrive in captivity under the proper environment. A purse of twenty 5$-gold pieces was the handsome Christmas gift presented to Mrs. Harriet B. Edgerton of the Twenty-fourth Street school in Denver at the closing exercises before the holidays. Mrs. Edgerton, who has been teaching in the district schools for thirty years, resigned not long ago and the anonymous giver wrote that a teacher who had spent thirty years in the service should receive a more substantial testimonial than a vote of thanks. ... WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. PILES FISTULA 29 YEARS ESTABLISHED We send FREE and postpaid a 328-page treatise on PILES, FISTULA and DISEASES OF THE RECTUM; also 328-page illustrated treatise on DISEASES OF WOMEN. Of the thousands of prominent people cured by our mild method, NONE PAID A CENT TILL CURED—two times the number and edition of DRS. THORNTON & CURIO, 1011 Oak St., Kansas City, Mo., and DRS. THORNTON & CURIO, 3639 Olive Street, St. Louis, Mo. A Great Outside Remedy. Most pains are of local origin—a "crick" in the back, a twinge of rheumatism, a soreness all over arising from a cold—are all cured by outside applications. The quickest, safest and most certain method is Allcock's Plaster, known the world over as a universal remedy for pain. They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap. You can go right ahead with your work while the healing process goes on. Sixty years' use has given them a great reputation. Public School Pupils Best: Figures concerning the students matriculated at Cornell in the last 20 years indicate that 42 per cent. have come from private schools and 58 per cent. from public schools. Of private school pupils, 153 were dropped after the first term and 111 from public schools, and the percentage of failures among the public school graduates is much lower than those of private schools. Consequently, the Cornell faculty favors withdrawing the privilege of admission by certificate from private schools. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Money in Popular Songs. According to a celebrated composer, the popular song, though sneered at by the superior, is in reality the ambition of most composers. Thousands of them, he says, "would give their ears to write a tune that reached the barrel-organs." And when it has been on the organs some little time a good many other people would wish to dispose of their ears. How's This?
