The Assaulting of John Temple Graves at Atlanty—Young Negro Wins the Rhodes Scholarship—The Increase of Race Prejudice—The Brownsville Investigation. VOL. XIII. National The Assaulting of John Temple Wins the Rhodes Scholars Prejudice—The Brow Special to Colorado Statesman: John Temple Graves, who took so infamous a part in stirring the passions of the mob which resulted in the late Atlanta riots, was knocked down a few days ago on the street at Atlanta. A man whose character he had assailed was the vehicle of this punishment. Retribution is sometimes administered in broken doses. Is it not possible that this is a first instance? It will be good news to readers of the COLORADO STATESMAN to know that the Rhodes scholarship of the State of Pennsylvania has this year been awarded to Alain Leroy Locke, a colored young man residing at 712 So. 12th street, Philadelphia. Mr. Locke is a member of this years' senior class of Harvard University and will graduate in June. The will of the late Cecil Rhodes, provides that color or religion shall have no bearing on the selection of a candidate. When it is known that after passing the examinations, which were held at Lafayette College on the 17th and 18th of January with six others all white, the additional tests of personal fitness and appearance, manliness of character and popularity as a student had to be met, the achievement of Mr. Locke cannot be to highly praised or the honor he reflects on the race too proudly considered. Mr. Locke has also distinguished himself by taking the four year Harvard course in three, which emphasizes in no uncertain degree his exceptionally fine mental equipment. The Rhodes scholarship provides for a three years course at Oxford University, England $1,500 a year being its value. Scarcely a day passes when in one part of the country or another additional manifestations are not discovered of the increase of racial prejudices. Try as hard as the the most optimistic may to. believe that the Negro is really making progress towards a more happy relationship with the dominant race, evidence to the contrary is constantly asserting itself. The latest demonstration of this fact comes from Gen. Nelson A. Miles Camp 31, S. W. V., when Comrade M. H. Lowder, being State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATROC COLORA News. Graves at Atlanty—Young Negro hip—The Increase of Race wnsville Investigation. called upon to address the members, said: "We will not and must not recognize Negroes in our organization. When the G. A. R. dies out, the Negro veteran soldier organization associating with white men also dies. We all have cause for congratulation that at the last national convention it was made forever impossible for our wives and sisters to be forced to parade around a public hall carrying the National flag with Negroes." Comrade Lowder and all of his kind who think as he does has seemingly lost sight of the grave emergency which made Negroes and white men comrades. He was then probably quite contented that the former should have his part in the hardships of camp and field, but like all that hide-bound, unregenerate class, he feels that in the present condition of peace and bountiful prosperity, the Negro has no right to an equal enjoyment of its privileges. Oh consistency thou art a jewel, yet how infinitely poor doth the petty meanness of narrow minds make thee appear. The taking of testimony in the Brownsville incident is proceeding with unabated vigor before the Senate committee on Military affairs. The degree of importance with which the matter is still regarded may be judged by the fact that practically the entire committee is present at each session, although the Congress has adjourned and most of the legislators are now scattered far and wide through the length and breadth of the country, The testimony thus far is overwhelmingly in favor of the colored soldiers. A number of witnesses not identified with the company under investigation have furnished strong evidence of the improbality of the men themselves having done the shooting and supporting the view that citizens of the town or Mexican greasers from across the border being the guilty conspirators. For instsnee, Capt. Kilburn of the 26th Infantry, paints the Brownsville people in very dark colors. He had been there more than two years before the colored troops came, knew the town thoroughly well and declared there were not more than a dozen families in the place with whom he DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1907. would care to associate. He said prejudice was generally evidenced against all soldiers but was especially intense against colored troops. He told of threats he had overheard from citizens when it was known the War Department would send colored troops to Fort Brown. Expressions such as "We'll run the niggers out," "They wont be here long" and others, show the animus and in view of the result attained and the means of its accomplishment, the desperate character of the people; the belief is reasonable that the colored soldiers of the 25th, notwithstanding their long service, heroism and devotion to the Flag, have been cruelly imolated on the gibbet of American prejudice. Meanwhile there is one grand and fearless American who has said to the world, these men shall not be sacrificed without a protest and if they are innocent they shall have a chance to prove it. JOHN H. PAYNTER. GOLDFIELD LETTER. Goldfield, Nev., March 16, 1977. DEAR MR. RIVERS:— This camp is a very busy place, there seems to be plenty of money in circulation. There are comparatively few colored people here and what few are here seem to be doing well, and especially the women because the unions do not bother them the way they do the white people. It looks as if we are going to have some trouble here at present with the unions. The I. W. W. union wants everything their own way. We are all in hopes that everything will be settled, as this unsettled feeling is doing the camp an injury, and a great many people are leaving here on account of the labor trouble. Only for this everything would look very promising. There are a few colored men who are working their own mines and seem to be doing very well. The climate here is a good deal like the climate of Colorado, only a very little colder. We are right in the mountains, so that would make some difference in the latitude. I think there are enough colored people here to organize a small church, if there was somebody here who would take the lead and manage things properly. Quite a few have homes of their own they are all frame houses. Lumber is very high, it is now $60 per thousand, and planed lumber is $80, so you can readily see why wages need to be high here. Rent is extremely high, and wood and coal is a terrible price, although coal has decreased some in price since the weather has been less severe. Yours very truly, ALICE CARPER. Hon. D. Rowen of Dallas, Texas who now operates one of the few first class dry goods stores among our people is planing to take out a $25,000 charter and operate in that city a large department store. Moultrie, Ga., March, 7.—Five Negro employees were killed in a wreck on a log road near Sunset Mills to-day, and three others were seriously injured. The train, consisting of flat cars, was backing out when it struck a tree across the track. In one single court in Chicago more than twenty men have been tried and most of them convicted of committing rape on white girls and not one of the men were colored. But the daily newspapers don't publish this awful condition nor urge lynching as the only remedy. Uniontown, Ky., March 7.— "Aunt" Margaret Brent, an aged colored woman living here, is now 115 years old. She lives in a little cabin on the Heights. Col. "Dock" Brown, of near Morganfield, but for a long time a resident here, states that "Aunt" Margaret is the only person now living who lived here when he came to this town with his father in 1839. Cheyenne, Wyo., March 18.—Private Young, Tenth cavalry (colored), died tonight, at the Fort Russell hospital, after having lived for 23 days with bullet wounds in his brain, breast and intestines. He was shot five time by Private Downs, the night of Feb. 23, and his fight for life amazed Cheyenne and Fort Russell surgeons. Downs who was seriously wounded by Young, will be held for trial on a charge of murder. Galveston, Texas, March 5. An attempt attack upon a prominent young woman at Port Arther last night has aroused the citizens of southeast Texas and they are driving the Negroes from that section and the oil fields. The assailant was captured and horse-whipped into insensibility, and would have been lynched had it not been for the sheriff and deputies getting the man to jail. This roused the citizens, and they caught three others who had expressed sympathy for their associate, and whipped them. Today three more Negroes at Spindle Top were cowhided, and warnings have been given in all the oil fields of southeast Texas that the blacks must go under penalty of death. New Thought As it Deals with the Spiritual and Material or Physical World. Great Advancement can be Made in Spiritual as is True of the Material Power. These articles are for the present simply an introduction leading up to the study of the subject. The avenues of approach to the possession of New Thought power are various. Some people reach the consciousness of the psychic and spiritual phoenomena by means of literary study, others come into possession of its facts through Philosophical research, still others enter by scientific investigations while not a few approach it from a religious meditation but whatever the manner or method of approach, one thing is necessary; there must be a real consciousness of the psychic and spiritual reality. The spiritual world is just as true and just as real as the material and physical world and the same degree of advancement can be made in the knowledge of spiritual facts and forces as can be made in the discovery and attainment of natural truth and power. But without the conscious realization of this spiritual existence and and your initiation into it one is helpless and confused and in the midst of intellectual fog and haze. Man has lived so long on the physical plane that they even deny that there is a spiritual life and designate as mystical those who even dare to proclaim this knowledge of psychic known throughout the ages. As rays from the sun, all individual spirits flame forth from the Great Mind; here is the source of their being; here the central fire whereof all are sparks. Hence the underlying unity of all beings, and as they approach nearer and nearer to their fount, they come nearer and nearer to each other. The realization of this unity of origin makes them see the Supreme Soul in all things, all things in It, and It in all things, thus the sense of separateness is destroyed and the Onesess is recognized as All. The great sages of India possessed this knowledge as did also the great Plato who gave to Greece and to the Western world the immortal teachings that have moulded the systems of modern thought. Pythogoras sent it out again and it was revived in the sixteenth century by Giordano Bruno who renewed the intellectual impulse on the same line. In our day not by one great mind but by lesser men inspired by their writings we have NO. 26. the same truths from every side, Fitche, Kant and Schopenhauer in Germany, Berkley in England and Emerson in America, not to mention that noble succession of mystics Eckhart, Boehme, Fludd, Vaughn and Swedenborg who echoed the esoteric teaching mixed indeed with much alloy but none scaling loftier heights, none plumbing more abysmal depths than were measured by those gigantic teachers of the past around whose feet cluster the teachers and disciples of the present. Those who would test these statements need only to study the worlds philosophies. There they will find the same identity of fundamental conception running through all the non-materialistic thinking of the world. This is true of the sciences as well as of philosophy. We find the beginnings of it in India in astronomy, geometry and medicine with a psychology carried to a point unapproached in modern times. In China, Greece, Egypt and Chaldea science flourished and in each of these nations applied science left triumphs of engineering skill at which our punier world still looks with amaze. Today Crooks, Lodge, Balfour and a whole group of progressive thinkers are pressing into the deeper regions of psychology and physics already mapped out by the ersteric Philosophy and familiar to its devoted students. For in science as well as in religion and philosophy the knowledge of the psychic and spiritual are necessary to complete the whole body of truth and by the study of it we may learn what men shall know in the future as well as that which they are learning with toil and pain today. One who undertakes to comprehend the secret laws of the New Thought truth has a long and interesting study but it is a profitable and pleasant one and repays for all of his research. Besides acquainting him with the best thought and thinkers of the past it puts him into line with the foremost thinkers of today. It enables him to understand and appreciate the currant literature of the time which is pregnate with New Thought ideas and suggestions. In our next article we shall speak upon the potentiality of New Thought power and its value to the individual and to society.

CITY IS ATTACKED AT DAWN SeeSonty (oni ronan Py FOncurans and San Salvadorans. San Juan’Del Sur.—Word has been recelved here from President Zelaya of Nicaragua, in Namasiquo, Hondu: ras, declaring that the bloodiest battle in ‘the history .of Central America, costing $00 lives, has been fought and won in that place. The struggle lasted three days, be- ginning on March 17th. The Nicara- guan army of invasion, intrenched in Namasiquo, was suddenly confronted by the combined forces of the Hon: durans and the Salvadorans, the latter having taken the «field as the ally of ‘Honduras. It was the flower of the Salvadoran army, together with the best troops President Bonilla of Honduras could master. The allied forces suddenly threw themselves upon the lity shortly pefore dawn on the 17th. Then followed incessant firing for seventy- two hours. President Zelaya in person com- manded the Nicaraguan troops. The first onslaught of the combined forces was repulsed, but the Salvadorans and Hondurans renewed the attack. The firing grew heavier and again the al- lied troops were repulsed. ‘This hap- pened again and again, the Nicara- guans always being successful in Keeping the enemy at bay. After three days of unsuccessful at- tacks, the allied army withdrew. At first it was believed that once more the assault would be ordered, but soon it was seen that the com- bined forces had retired for good. When “he Nicaraguans left their de- fenses they found 500 dead and 300 wounded Hondurans and Salvadorans on the field. ‘The Nicaraguans lost 300 killed and about the same number wounded. All the bodies of the dead were buried Many Hondurans were taken prison- ers, including General Martinez, who was wounded, together with other offi- cers. Store Water for Colorado Ranchmen. Denyer—The efficiency of all the vast system of irrigation works in Col- orado and the West in general will be vastly increased, the science of irriga- tion be made even more perfect, and all chance in the raising of crops by ir- rigation be absolutely eliminated by a simple little step which the United States government is about to take. As part of the reclamation service, flood forecasting stations are being es- tablished along all the principal riv- ers from which water for irrigation is being drawn. F. H. Brandenburg, chief of the Weather Bureau in this city, is now traveling along the water- shed of the Colorado river, from the Headwaters in this state to the mouth of the stream below Yuma, looking for suitable locations at which the flood forecasting stations are to be placed. For the benefit of the farmer who de- pends on rain the present Weather Bu- reau system was primarily started, for that and the mariner on the high seas, who depends equally on the whims of the elements. The rain farmer wants to know when the dry breeze will come, when the period of drought or the period of wet. According to what he is led to expect, he takes precau- tions, The unegunted millions that have been saved by the service to the American farme?s are beyond esti mate, but it is certain that the bureau has made of farming in the rain belt a much less precarious industry, ‘The irrigation farmer is generally held to depend much less on the whims of the elements. Hé draws his supply pf water from the running streams, and this supply can be reckoned on with much more certainty than the rains. But with the development of irrigation an element of uncertainty has em tered. 3 ‘The irrigationist cannot tell when the floods will come. Often he is com: pelled to see millions of cubie feet of water rush by him before he can pre: pare his reservoir to receive the mois. ture which he is certain he will need later, There is a certain amont of wa: ter which can always be depended on to run regularly in the streams, and as long as the ditches used only this reg: ular flow there was no uncertainty. Everybody Get Married or Pay a Fine Fort Dodge, lowa.—Every male and female between the ages of twenty: five and forty years must enter the marriage state within sixty days or pay a fine of from $10 to $100, accord ing to the provisions of a city ord: nance passed here yesterday.

UNACCOUNTABLE TRAGEDY Mrs. Michael Collins Reels and Falls on Street of Ouray, and Never Regains Consciousness. Ouray, Colo.—While walking along the main street with her husband, and unknown to him, Mrs. Michael Collins, a well known young woman and prominent church worker, swallowed a quantity of strychnine, dying a few hours late at the home of a friend. She walked nearly a block after taking the drug, it is said, and then fell in a faint. The cause of her act is not known. Doctor Rowan, who attended the woman, has signed the death certificate, and it is probable that no inquest will be held. Although several persons have reported that they saw the woman take the poison, the coroner is investigating that she had been taking medicine containing strychnine and that an overdose caused death. The husband is grief-stricken and unable to account for the action of his wife. He says their life was always happy, but numerous rumors are in circulation to the effect that they had quarreled. Considerable mystery surrounds the case inasmuch as the officials have been unable as yet to find the bottle which contained the drug, or discover where it was purchased. Mrs. Collins made no statement further than to say that she had swallowed poison. It was on Seventh avenue where the drug was supposed to have been taken, and on reaching Second street the woman complained, reeled and fell to the sidewalk. Supposing that she had merely fainted, Collins ran to the home of Peter Schneider, where the woman's mother was at the time, and summoned help. With the assistance of Schneider, Mrs. Collins was carried to the house and the doctor called. He applied stimulants, and recovering consciousness for a moment, she said, "I took strychnine," gasped, and died. Mrs. Collins was the daughter of Mrs. Louis Hohl, and was born in Ouray. Her foster father was for years in the grocery business in this city, but recently sold out and is now living on a ranch in the north end of the county. The family is among the most prominent here. No More Treating in Arizona. Proenix, Ariz.—A bill prohibiting "treating," putting a stop to one person's buying a drink for another, under penalty of a misdemeanor, has been introduced in the Council by O'Neil of Maricopa. The local option bill, introduced by Blakely, providing that a majority vote only is necessary, instead of a two-thirds vote, as heretofore, to wipe out saloons in any community, was passed by a vote of eight to four, but his prohibition measure was killed by the same vote. The Juvenile court bill, providing that children under twelve years of age who are incorrigible, shall pass under a period of probation before being committed to the reform school, was also passed. Only ten days more remain of the session. · New York.—When Secretary Loughman of the Park Board opened his letters to-day, he found this, addressed in childish handwriting to "Mr. Stork, Central Park, New York City": 23 Pingree avenue, Detroit, Mich.—Dear Mr. Stork: Please bring Frances Stevens a baby boy—a white baby. Do you bring the clothes too? FRANCES STEVENS. P. S.—I like you, Mr. Stork. Mr. Loughman answered the letter as follows: Dear Little Friend: We are all out of babies at the present time. We expect a new lot in soon, and will not forget you. You will have to furnish the clothes, yourself. WALTER LOUGHMAN. Remarried in Eight Days. Pueblo, Colo.-Wedded eight days after securing a divorce is the record of Mrs. Mina Herring, who was married in Raton, New Mexico, to R. L. Frazier, a member of the Pueblo Fire Department. Mrs. Herring was granted a divorce in the County Court March 8th from William T. Herring on the grounds of desertion and non-support, and while she was relating her story to the jury, Frazier was preparing to take his intended bride to New Mexico, where they could be married.

It makes the city a problem and the race uplift a deeper problem; the intellectual, industrial, moral, physical and spiritual advancement a bigger problem still. Cities have always been both the despair and hope of every great prophet and reformer. Little, perhaps, as we think, it was Gain, a murderer, a fugitive and a vagabond for whom the earth (land or country) refused to yield her strength that built the first city, and it seems that this class of persons has inhabited the cities ever since. Cities are often built for and named after men and usually take on the characteristic of their founders. The first city ever built (Enoch) was the beginning of barter and polygamy and so it has ever been. Babel was an attempt to take the kingdom of heaven by force. Sodom and Gomorrah did not possess ten righteous persons to save them. Babylon has become the synonym for iniquity. Nineveh merited the invective of an entire prophetic book of the Bible. Of imperial Rome, the historian Horace said: "O! venal city, destined soon to perish." Of London Carlyle said, "What a fermenting vat lies hidden in a great city." But we will not continue to multiply instances of the dangers, crime and sufferings of the city. Few have studied the city problems. If members of the race would make the city, its conditions and pitfalls a study, we might be able to do something worth while for our young men. The Colorado Statesman is but a voice, a single voice, it cannot do all. We can only point the way. Good men and women, literary societies, lodges and the Church must co-operate if we are going to save the race in the city. We are not alarmists or calamity howlers, but we simply proclaim that our city youths are doomed unless a change is effected some way. What do you suggest? BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. A safe way of making money is the ambition of every man who wants to be above a normal wage earner. How to acquire wealth in a sane, safe and honorable way is the question every man must face. Men's tastes and talents differ so widely that it makes it a difficult task to instruct them, but one of the surest rounds to fortune is in acquiring property. The temptations to speculate are so great and the desire to become rich so strong that eight out of ten young men are wrecked at the very beginning of life. If a man is earning something above his expenses, he is sure either to increase his expenses or speculate or lend money to his friends. In the latter case he is likely to loose both the money and friend so that the best thing he can do is to have an object or place to put his surplus the moment it comes into his hands. The best place to put it is in real estate. This does two things. It makes you study where the greatest and quickest improvements will be made, thereby acquainting you the progress of the city and identifying you with its interest, and second, in saving you from going on somebody's bond or having loose change about you. It acquaints you with legal methods governing real estate conveyances and a multitude of things never known before. Besides you can learn the meaning of discounting notes by paying before it is due or compound interest that you pay for delay. This will give you object lessons in business promptness that you will not soon forget. Nothing is likely to grow in value faster than improved real estate. Fifty per cent. of the merchants are driven out of business because of the raise of rents resulting from increased value of property, thus while the experienced merchant fails the real estate investor's values increases. Besides he learns more about taxes and improvements as a property holder than in any other way, and lastly it makes him a wiser and better citizen. In fact no man is really a citizen until he is a property holder. Thus real estate investment is one of the quickest, safest and surest roads to success in a growing city like Denver. THE DEPARTURE OF REV. FORD. Rev. J. E. Ford is arranging to wind up affairs in Denver where he has been serving the largest and most influential congregation of the Baptist persuasion in the West. He has been pastor, citizen, student, worker and builder in Denver for the past seven years. He has remained with the church longer than any pastor since the organization of this congregation forty years ago. His administration has been eminently successful, both financially, numerically and spiritually. His discourse has never been an appeal to the emotional side of the religious life, but addressed to the intellectual, moral, social and spiritual progress of the people. He has lived what he preached which has intensified his message and made it both vital and practical Rev. Ford, different from most ministers, has mingled with all classes and conditions of men. He has gone freely among them, sharing their difficulties, knowing their opinions and wants and meeting their needs, not attempting to impress them with his goodness or superiority but causing them to feel that he was one of them. In this way he has encouraged, helped and inspired many to realize that religion was not an impossible thing but an actual need. On his departure from Denver he will go abroad for a well deserved season of rest and study and will attempt to further fit himself by observation and experience to help his race. In another article on this subject, before he leaves, we will give our readers an outline of the itinerary he is about to take. The Colorado Statesman is glad to see the spirit aroused in the people to give the departing preacher and leader a farewell reception and testimonial. All classes are ready to do him honor. Business and professional men, literary and social organizations, lodges, churches, young and old people and those who are not members of any particular set. The Colorado Statesman, with others, adds its compliments to the departing minister of spirituality who has been in our midst so long. AZALIA HACKLEY CHORAL CLUB Denver has been very fortunate in maintaining a first-class music organization in our midst. Mrs. Azalia Hackley, who was the very soul of music planted the desire for music in the hearts of the young people of this city, both by her service as choir leader and organizer of the Monday Musical Club. Since her departure from Denver these young people have kept the musical organization alive changing its name from the Monday Musical Club to the Azalia Hackley Club and, notwithstanding Mrs. Hackley is to-day in Paris rounding out her musical training under the best masters of the world, the young people are still keeping alive the inspiration she started in Denver. This Club will give their semi-annual entertainment at Shorters chapel, Monday night. The interesting feature of the program is the folk-lore song which has recently become a subject of universal discussion, and it is interesting to know that the pathetic folk songs of the Negro are considered by critics as the most interesting and original music of the land. The Irish keep alive their plantive melodies annually on St. Patrick's Day. The Germans have their Saengerfests and why should not the Negro semi-annually gather to hear the melodies of the old Southland. Our symphonies are simple and expressive. All artificialities are absent, their power springs from the heart and portrays the feelings of the composers, they are full of tenderness, deeply religious and historical, and breathe an air of patience under the trial and tribulations of the "Dark Days." Then we find a number of them emitting the joy of the first days of freedom and further on they are seen scaling the heights of human endeavor. Such songs should never be lost to the race; they must not die. The emblem on the Irish national flag is a golden harp on a green background. The Negro, were he to have a racial banner, could nothing better than give his musical power a large place—for above all else we are a musical people. GRATTON TURNER SOON ACQUITTED. Gratton Turner was acquitted in the district court yesterday by the jury that was out but half an hour, of the charge of killing Manuel Chavez at Starkville two weeks ago. He was ably defended by Joseph H. Stuart, a colored lawyer, sent here from Denver by the boy's mother, and Theodore Smith, of this city, appointed by the court. There was a great desire among all classes to hear the address of the Denver lawyer. He made a remarkable address to the jury. "I thought he might make a bombastic Fourth of July oration," said Prosecutor A. Watson McHendrie this morning, but Attorney Stuart made as an analytical and dissecting talk of the evidence as I have ever heard in the court. He is indeed an exceptionally able black man and a good lawyer. Others, too, including Judge Robert R. Ross, highly commended the address of the colored barrister. The work of attorney Smith aided materially in acquitting the prisoner. Turner left this morning for Denver. Before leaving he said: "I'll never get in another scrape. If they had hung me they would have hung an innocent man. I'll never drink again. I want to thank the Chronicle-News for quoting me just as I told my story before my trial. I asked but simple justice and the Chronicle-News gave me a fair deal, even if I am a black man. Good-bye." The above article appeared in the Chronicle-News of the 16th of March, the leading Republican journal of the city of Trinidad. It shows the high estimate placed on Mr. Stuart as a lawyer and a man by disinterested parties of high standing who ought to know. It is a well deserved compliment and one which should be appreciated by the entire race. If we would hold up the hands of our professional men who have made themselves thoroughly qualified and able by a process of careful and diligent study and long years of experience we would indirectly aid each and every member of the race. For each individual who distinguishes himself in any worthy calling proclaims to the world the innate capacity of the race. And he can only show his worth and ability by being given an opportunity, by receiving employment from those from whom he must naturally expect it. There is another view that must be taken on this subject. It is this: How can we hope to find a clerkship to be filled by one of our young men or young ladies in the office of a professional man of the race if we give our lucrative business to whites in the same profession, discriminating against our own men of equal or greater ability? We build up the business of the professional man of the dominant race until it becomes so large and profitable that he must have clerical assistance. But he doesn't select such help from our ranks, no matter how well equipped, competent and worthy the individual may be who might like to fill the position. On the other hand, in the meantime the business of the colored professional man languishes or remains stationary, and has not, either in volume or quality, reached a stage sufficient to absorb his full time or energies, and therefore he needs no help, and is unable to employ any. Thus in pursuing this narrow and jealous policy we adversely effect, to a greater or less extent, the chances of our youth obtaining employment of the kinds referred to. RUSSIA'S FALSE CZAR IMPOSTOR SAID TO BE AT HEAD OF FIFTY THOUSAND MEN. **TOW** Like this, "Hop light, ladies, tiptoe fine, Git yer pardners now, an' jump in line, couples to their places, to stalls."

The inflamed state of the people of Russia as well as the credulity of the Russian character is again manifested in the army of 50,000 that has gathered in a few days in the Volga region to follow a false czar. This bogus emperor, as the dispatches tell, made his appearance near Penza, in the heart of the vast region extending westward from the Volga. Oh, it's a time we have when Sim Pete fiddles For the country shindig down at Biddies' Ranch, on the Tar Flat road. —Dennis H. Stovall. Some Lingual Peculiarities. Some familiar words illustrate that confusion between article and substantive which has given the English language "a newt" for "an ewt." "A nickname" represents "an ekename," an -iditional name; and "a nugget," or "niggot," as it used to be written, was once "a ningot," a wrong version of "an ingot." Similarly the phrase "for the nonce" was originally "for then once"—for that one time, "then" being the dative case of "that." On the other hand, "an adder" and "an orange" were "an nadder" and "an norange" originally. "An apron," also, has come from "a napron" (connected with "napery"), and "an umpire" is really "a numpire"—a "non-peer," a not equal or odd man, the odd man out who arbitrates. This movement recalls the great Pugatcheff rebellion of 1773, which is said to have cost 100,000 lives. This rebellion also occurred in the region where the false czar started his insurrection in the last few days. Yemelyan Ivanovitch Pugatcheff was born in 1726 and died in 1775. The rebellion he led was known as the "Pugatchefshtchina." He was a Cossack of the Don and fought against the Prussians in the Seven Years War and in the campaign against Turkey in 1769. On his return from the latter war he was arrested for helping his brother-in-law to escape across the Don, Fearing punishment he ran away to the Cossacks of the Terek. In the and of his refuge he heard the persistent rumors that Peter III was still alive. It happened that he bore a striking resemblance to the murdered czar, and it occurred to him to impersonate that sovereign. Whether this Russian soldier dreamed of the bloody results that followed this impersonation is doubtful, but he boldly announced that he was Peter III and issued a proclamation in the name of that sovereign in 1773, declaring that he would dethrone Catherine II and again occupy the throne. A Cure for Colds. Here is a sure cure for colds of any kind. It has been tested repeatedly, and has never failed, and as I used to catch cold, which resulted in a bad attack of bronchitis, I can speak from experience. In cases of pneumonia it will not fall to cure if taken in time. Make a ball of cotton batting about the size of a small marble, saturate it well with alcohol, then drop onto it six drops of chloroform; cover it lightly with a thin piece of thin cotton batting, hold to the mouth, and inhale the fumes, inflating the lungs well. It will open and expand every lung cell instantly.—Woman's Home Companion. The rebellion began in the same year. He attached to his cause the Raskolniks, whose religion he embraced, and won over several Finnish and Tatar tribes and thousands of the peasantry. After the capture of many fortresses on the Ural and the Don, Orenburg among them, he marched his army against Moscow. At a crucial time he was sold by some of his companions for 100,000 rubles and was captured. After his trial he was executed in Moscow. His execution ended the rebellion, which had been one of the bloodiest of its kind in history. Change for Philanthropists. There is a plot for a summer novel in this advertisement which recently appeared in the Lucknow (India) Daily Telegraph. "Will any gentleman, educated, European, marry (immediately) a young lady to save her from a hateful marriage?" The Taking of Nitric Acid From the Air AVENDISH in 1781 made the foundation experiment of the problem of utilizing nitrogen from the air by showing that the oxygen contained in the air can oxidize the nitrogen in the air and form nitrous and nitric acid. The first attempt to utilize this reaction commercially was made by the Atmospheric Products company in Niagara Falls. Unfortunately this firm had not money enough to carry its plans to a successful end, and was forced to close its plant about four years ago. Meanwhile Birkeland and Eyde, a Norwegian chemist and an engineer, started works for the utilization of atmos- C pheric nitrogen at Notodden, in Hitterdal, Norway, where enormous water power at a very cheap price was at their disposal. This cheap power is the most essential factor for the success of the process. Electricity is necessary to bring the air in such a condition that oxygen and nitrogen will react upon each other. In spite of the enormous difficulties the problem has been practically solved, and already in 1905 one ton of anhydrous nitric acid was daily produced at Notodden. Since that time the Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik, in Ludwigshafen, one of the oldest and largest coal-tar color factories in the world, has taken up the solution of the problem. A few months ago they joined forces with Birkeland and Eyde in Norway, and, according to the last reports, nitric acid and nitric acid salts are manufactured at such prices as to compete with Chili saltpeter and the products made thereof. What this success means for the economic conditions of the world becomes evident from the fact that the supply of Chili saltpeter, which as a fertilizer is indispensable in agriculture, is calculated to last no longer than 20 years. The production of nitrates from atmospheric nitrogen will therefore remove the anxiety expressed by many writers on economics concerning the difficulty of feeding an ever-increasing population, owing to the gradual exhaustion of the soil. Since nitric acid is also used largely for nitrating carbolic acid, glycerine, cotton and cellulose, and these nitrated products are the principal constituents of smokeless powder and high explosives, as used by our army and navy, it is apparent that a process of making nitric acid independently of Chili saltpeter will become of extreme importance in case of war, for it removes the danger of being cut off from the supply of Chili saltpeter by a hostile navy. It is thus seen that this process of making nitric acid and nitrates from atmospheric nitrogen, which is of such great importance, is now a commercial success. It is impossible to state what part Sir William Crookes and his collaborators have taken in the solution of the problem, as his research has not been published in the scientific or in the patent literature. These investigators have not contributed anything to the work outlined above. If they have made any discoveries they must have been on independent lines which have not been made known. Taking the Child to the Playhouse By ELLAINE TERRISS. A child never should be taken to a theater with the idea of instructing him. Any attempt to do so from the stage is bound to be a failure. The object in taking children to see a theatrical entertainment should simply be to give them a few hours' thorough enjoyment. Grown-up people sometimes forget, I think, that a piece that may appear trivial and absurd to them may afford a great deal of enjoyment to a child. A child has little, if any, sense of humor, but as a rule a considerable sense of fun; and it always is the fun of a piece that delights him. And the piece always should be bright—bright dresses, bright scenery, and bright songs. A child sees in such an entertainment not merely a theatrical entertainment but a real live world full of people and things he has dreamed of, and the seeming reality of it gives him the sort of pleasure which grown-up people who have forgotten the days of their childhood find it difficult to sympathize with. It is a mistake to take the child to the theater to insult him, but it is not a mistake to take him there for his amusement. It is becoming, I am glad to say, every day more generally recognized that a dull childhood is a bad thing for a child. It is unnatural. A child is by nature meant to be bright, joyous, and happy. I have heard it said that the excitement which a theatrical performance affords a child is a bad thing, because it is unnatural; but that is exactly what it is not. It is not unnatural for a child to laugh and shout and clap his hands at a theatrical entertainment that pleases him, or to remain absorbed in the development of some story on the stage which interests him. In both cases he is enjoying a thoroughly healthy form of amusement, which is good for him; but if he dislikes the performance—if it wearies or tires him—then he certainly will not derive any benefit from it. Under such circumstances it would be much kinder to take a child out of a theater than to keep him there against his will until the piece is finished. The Poetry of Machinery By GERALD STANLEY LEE, Author of "The Voice of the Machines." The Poetry of Machinery By GERALD STANLEY LEE, Author of "The Voice of the Machines." The modern engines, the short-necked, pin-headed, large-limbed, silent ones, plunging with smooth and splendid leaps down their aisles of space—engines without any faces, blind, grim, conquering, lifting the world — are more poetic to some of us than old engines were, for the very reason that they are not so poetic-looking. They are less showy, more furtive, suggestive, modern and perfect. In proportion as a machine is modern it hides its face. It refuses to look as poetic as it is; and if it makes a sound, it is almost always a sound that is too small for it, or one that belongs to some one else. The trolley wire, lifting a whole city home to supper, is a giant with a falsetto voice. The large-sounding, the poetic-sounding, is not characteristic of the modern spirit. In so far as it exists at all in the modern age, either in its machinery or its poetry, it exists because it is accidental or left over. There was a deep bass steamer on the Mississippi once, with a very small head of steam, which any one would have admitted had poetry ; ; —old-fashioned poetry. Every time it whistled it stopped. CITY NEWS. E. P. Booze was up from the Springs this week. Mrs. Charles White left last week for Topeka, Kansas, to visit relatives and friends.

MARRIED—Mr. Robert 4Mitchell to Miss Julia Singleton, Tuesday. evening March 19th at 1216 33rd St. Rev., Ford performed the ceremony in the presence of invited friends of the contracting couple. Harvey Knox of Silverton, Colo., is in the city on business. Mr. Knox dropped in to see us Monday and spent a few minutes chat. He is a constant reader of many Negro journals and is therefore quite well posted on affairs in general. D. W. Henderson of Chicago was a caller at this office Thursday. Mr. Henderson has just recently returned from points in Mexico where he was a clost observer of the surroundings there. He reports the Negroes of that country doing well. R. H. Hayes, formerly an Attorney and well known man about the town died Wednesday morning, March 20th, Mr. Hayes was admitted to the bar in Denver, and for a number of years was connected with the labor movement of this city. He leaves a wife and two children, residing in Harmon. Appropriate memorial services were held at Zion Baptist church last Sunday, in memory of Mrs. G. A. Tarbet, Born November 13, 1865, died January 27, 1907 at Topeka, Kansas. Each department of the church was represented by appropriate testimonials in regards to the life and service of the deceased. John M. Williams, one of the best known colored politicians of Denver and in fact of the entire West, left the city Thursday for Buxton, Iowa where he assumes the position of assistant postmaster.

Denver has a set of young men not yet out of their teens, that are very famous as ball players. Last week they organized a team to be known as the "Calumet." Lawrence Stephen of the Calumet Social club will be manager of the team and Tyndale Graves captain. It is hardly necessary to state that the boys are monarchs of the diamond as those who have seen them win out in stubborn contests will testify to the fact without argument. They are a fast gang and the opening of the season will find them maintaining their reputation. Wm. E.

THE PASSING OF JULIUS WILLIAM FIELDS. The entire community of Denver was shocked Tuesday morning by the report of the sudden death of this popular young man. At first every one was skeptical of the rumor and thought it a canard, as Mr. Fields had been seen on the street only a few days before and no one even suspected his illness but as time wore on the report became more sad and apparent when it was learned that it was only too true. Young Fields was gone. In the death of Mr. Fields the community looses one of its brightest, brainest and most aggressive JACKSON young men. Talented above many, active in Educational and social affairs, a musician, a student, he was both enterprising and progressive. He had excellent business talent for one of his age. He was a property holder and held a responsible position in the post office since 1897, being rapidly advanced because of his merit and excellent marks in examination and tests. Julius, the son of the late Rev. J. B. Fields formerly pastor of Zion church, was born in Macomb Ill., July 1878, came to Denver in 1881 at the age of 3 years. Graduated from East Denver High School at the age of 17 years. For a time served as as collector for the COLORADO STATESMAN and then took the Civil Service examination passing the highest of 120 that competed with him, was soon after appointed to a clerkship and has made an enviable record in the mail service, making it possible for other colored employees to be appointed by his efficiency. Mr. Fields was a member of the Centennial Mandolin club, Inter Graduate association and recently joined the Elks who will have charge of the funeral which will be held from Zion church tomorrow, Sunday, March 24th at 2 p.m His death is not local only but effects a wide circle of friends in other cities where he has visited. penitentiary. He admitted stealing 40 of the 50 overcoats missing which ranged in value from $16.50 to $35. This is the second case of the kind that has graced the courts in the past few weeks and we will but say let this be another lesson and warning to our young men to keep molasses and all sticky substances off of their fingers when working around where things are not nailed down.

MANY INJUPED IN TRAIN WRECK, Rio Grande Passenger Train Leaves Track and Many Narrowly . Batane Death, ‘Alamosa, Colo.—Ten persons were more or less seriously injured and a score of others slightly bruised and cut in a wreck on the Denyer & Rio Grande near Toltec, between this city and Antonito Tuesday evening. | ‘That all the passengers and the train erew were not killed is considered a miracle. ‘The entire train left the track, but through some fortunate circumstance only the engine rolled down the high embankment. ‘The passenger coaches and baggage car were overturned and hung on the edge of the precipice, while the panic: stricken inmates fought to gain the outside before the cars, apparently sup- ported by nothing, would be precipi- tated into the deep guleh. According to the railroad officials, the cause of the accident has not been determined, although it is believed to have been @ defective rail, as a sec: tion gang was employed repairing at the exact spot where the mishap hap: pened. The last car of the train was the first to leave the track and pulled the others off one by one av a time. ‘The most seriously injured are: E, J. Booth of Denver, sealp wound and ear nearly cut off. Mrs. B. J. Booth of Denver, scalp wounds and body bruises. C, D, Lancaster of Denver, scalp wounds, crushed and bruised, Engineer Dell Smith, crushed about the hips and bruised. Mrs. Cordova of San Ildefonso, New Mexico, scalp wounds and bruises. John A. Holmberg, former state treas- urer, and wife, not serious. W. S. McCaw, a prominent cattle- man of Durango, not, serious.

The engine and tender, the last to leave tho rails, rolled 250 fect and landed in the bottom of the conen. Monster Irrigation Project. Pueblo.—One of the bigest irriga- tion projects ever planned in southern olorzdo has been made public by the filing of plats in the Pueblo county clerk's office for the Mesa and North Mesa canals, avd a system of eighteen reservoirs in Pueblo, Fremont and FE) Paso counties. The promoters are A. E. Wilson of Denver and K. C. Sehny. ler of Colorado Sprinvs, but beh'ni ‘hem is sald to be a bie’ eastern avn dicate, which will spend $3,500,900. te irrigate 320,000 acres of land in the three counties. ‘The North Mesa canal was first pro Jected in Fremont county to irrigate a vest area on the north, east and west of Florence. After water rights had been acquired for this purpose it was found that a sufficient supply not only to reclaim all of the land in the North Mes dis'rict, but also to irrigate over 160.000 acres in Pueblo and a portion of El Paso counties had been secured: ‘The headgates of the main canal will be on the north bank of the Arkansas river, above the point where Four Mile ‘creck enters the Arkansas river near Florence. This canal will be twenty-five feet deep, twenty-six feet wide, fifty miles long, and have an ag grezate capacity of 10,000,000,000 cu bic feet. It will cost $500,000, and th. eighteen, reservoirs, all of which wil be Incated at arroyo. creeks anc » 1" strgams in Pueblo county td se)" ml conserve, flood waters, will cos: $2,000,000.” Stock men of Colorado will refuse to take out pesmiis allowing them to graze cattle on the forest reserves and they will also refuse to pay any grazing fee for stock which they in tend to pasture on the reserves. Any attempt on the part of the forest ser view officials to force them to take out perwits or pay grazing fees will be met with resistance. Any attempt to collect so-called damage through the courts will result in a long-drawn legal bat tle, This is the gage of defianc: hurled at the forest service by the Coi orado Cattle and Horse Growers’ Asso ciation, Gifford Pinchot, chief forester, has written a letter to H, H. French, super: visor of the Holy Cross forest reserve: Jin which he states that he has learned that stock growers who range cattle ‘on this reserve have signed an agree ‘ment to refrain from taking out graz Ing permits. In view of this announce- ment he says: “It becomes the duty of the forester to protect the public interests. There fore, you will please notify persone who held permits last year, but who have failed to make application this year, that objections to the payri7n! of the grazing fee will not be accepte? as a reason for not haying made npnli cation at the proper time, and ta‘ their applications will be rejecte” when presented if the total nymber a thorized has been allowed other appli ‘cants.” Big Land Sale in Greeley District.

THE ARTISTIC WALL, One of Solid Color Will Always Give Best Effect. The dearest, daintiest, most artistic wall is a solid colored wall, jt (ur- nishes a perfect background for all kinds of pictures, it throws them out in their correct proport{ons, and «oes not detract from their ‘artistic yalue. The solid colored wall igs also much better as a background for furniture, and harmonizes mueh more artistical- ly with carpets and rugs than any other method of wall treatment. The less breaking up of color on a wall the more artistic it is. . ‘The most successful form of ‘he solid colored wall is an alabastined wall. There 1s as much difference be- tween tinted walls, as there is be- tween shoddy and all-wool gowns, The shoddy gown holds its color for a few days, while the all-wool keeps its color to the very last thread, so also in solid colored walls, there are shoddy. walls and permanently colored walls which retain their color down to the very last particle. The {deal wall conting never rubs off, never flakes nor chips off and is always ready for a fresh coat. If there is wallpaper on the wall, soak it off with warm water, then go over the plaster after you have removed the paper with warm water to remove every trace of paste. Haye the wall thoroughly clean for a clean wall cannot be built om an un- clean foundation. If there are any particles of foreign matter\ adhering to the wall scrape them off with a putty knife. Then if there are any discolorations on the wall, size it with a material made from cheap varnish, thinned down with benzine and japan added for a drier, then cover your wall with your tinting material. Be sure your man uses a tinting ma- terial mixed with cold water. If he comes to you and asks for warm wa- ter, you can make up your mind that there is glue in the material which he proposes to put on your wall, and you can be certain that you are going to have a shoddy wall, for glue means shoddy. Glue means that it will hold its color long enough for the man to collect his bill and not much lonzer. Insist on your tinting material being mixed with clear, cold water, Be sure that your wall is made from pire ma- terials, then you will have a perma- nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall that will be a “thing of beauty and a joy forever.” CLEARED HIMSELF OF BLAME. Explanation of Politiclan That Sure- ly Was Convincing.

Among other accounts of a deadhead nature on the books of the Westralia railway was one setting forth that a Peacock had been franked te the lines to the value of $35, and in- stantly there was wide demands about it. People wanted to know why Sir Alexander Peacock’s daughter was given these privileges. Sir Alexander ‘himself, a former premier of Victoria, was very much hurt when he heard of the matter, and hastened to assure the Westralian government firstly, that if his daughter had appeared in Westralia, it was entirely without his sanction; secondly, if she had made claims upon the Westralia railways she had done it without his authority; thirdly, that never during his long po- tical ‘career had he asked his own state, let alone any other, to extend dead-heading privileges to a dauchter of his; and, fourthly and finally, he ‘had no daughter, and never has had a ee ee ‘Transeript.

One day while sweeping the room she had occasion to move this partie: ular plant, when she remarked that she had read in the paper that a rub- ber plant worth $200,000 burned in Woonsocket, and she thought it must have been a beautiful plant to have cout so much money.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- flance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes. Bold Raid by Foxes.

A Locomotive Engineer Tells How He Was Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilla. Pain that seems almost unbearable fs a characteristic of sciatic rheuma- tism. In some cases the pain is knife-like, suarp or shooting; in oth- ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers for years. This was the case with Mr. Herbert E. Spaulding, a locomotive engineer on the Cincinnat!, New Or- leans & Texas Pacific Railway, waose home is at Longview, Texas. “While running an engine some years ago,” he says, “I fell off and hurt my knee and spine and I have always considered this to be the cause ‘of my illness. The sciatica took hold of me from my heel to the back of my head. The pain was the worst I ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. I was under a physiclan’s care for several months and for six months could not get out of bed. I also went to Hot Springs but came back in a worse condition than when I went. “It was when I was down in bed that I heard of the case of a Mr. Allison, a much older man than my- self, who had been cured of sclatica by Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills. I began taking the pills and soon was able to get out of bed. When I had taken six boxes I was able to work about the house and yard. I kept right on with the pills until I was cured and I have never had any return of the trouble. I have been running an engine ever since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

COLORADO NEWS ITEMS Snow slides have begun to make trouble in the San Juan. Colorado has another legal holiday. It is Colorado Day—August 1st. Burlington has been made a presidential postoffice at $1,300 a year, and Montclair, at $1,000 a year. A shipment of 110 cars of sheep from the Fort Collins and Greeley districts started for the Chicago market on the 14th. If there isn't music in the air at Fort Collins it will be no fault of the band boys, who have just received their new uniforms. Ludwig, Nelson and Jess A. Eddy, miners employed on the Golden Cycle mine at Victor were killed by an explosion on the 14th. Winter tiptoed in so quietly, acted so nicely, and departed so slyly that no one knew it was on the place. Colorado weather is nothing if not genteel. The Logan County Advocate and the Republican at Sterling have been consolidated and will be conducted by D. C. Smith, former publisher of the Republican. Announcements of the tenth annual session of the Colorado Chautauqua and summer school, to be held at Boulder, have just been made. Twelve distinct schools are organized, thus giving the students splendid opportunities. Alfred Hopley and Bert Perry, messengers for the Wells-Fargo Express company between Aspen and Basalt, have been arrested on the charge of embezzling a package containing $2,500, said package having disappeared while in transit.

"The Scout's Revenge," a blood and thunder tragedy in three acts, has been perpetrated upon an unsuspecting public in various towns in the state during the past week. Just what the public has done to have revenge taken out on it, the complainants sayeth not. Tuesday night about 9:30 Miss Hettie Bever, a 16-years-old girl, was shot through the window at her home in North Delta, the ball passing through her arm just above the elbow. Jimmy Workman, twenty-two years old, is in jail charged with the crime, which he denies. Gifford Pinchot, chief of the forest service, has recommended the release from temporary withdrawal of 550,400 acres of land in western Montrose and San Miguel counties. A large area had been temporarily withdrawn in that region pending an examination to determine its suitability for forest purposes. The reclamation service wants 30,000 barrels of Portland cement for the Uncompahgre irrigation project and is asking cement mills to submit proposals which will be opened April 15th at Montrose. This cement will be used in lining the Gunnison tunnel, which is now considerably over half completed. After months of negotiations between the Denver & Rio Grande and the International Association of Machinists, the latter organisation has secured the cessions it was asking, and 500 machinists and plenum have been granted an increase in wages of two and three cents an hour, a nine-hour day, and time and a half for overtime. Mrs. J. B. Smith was taken to Fort Morgan from Snyder by Sheriff Burdette and lodged in the county jail, charged with the murder of her sixteen-year-old daughter, Shirley Smith. Mrs. Smith was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Edward Wilson at Snyder and was bound over to the district court in $4,500, which she failed to furnish. Manuel Rodriguez, a Mexican, was about to be sentenced to ten years by a Fort Collins judge, on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, when the county physician interceded, stating that the man would lose his mind if such a heavy penalty were imposed. The judge relented and gave the Mexican one day in jail. It's great to be crazy. It is stated that the Santa Fe Railroad Company is weeding out all operators who belong to the Telegraphers' union. It is said that fifteen union telegraphers between La Junta and Las Vegas were discharged this morning, that no reason was given, but that it is on account of their union affiliations. What the outcome will be is uncertain. Among those discharged were two operators at Trinidad. A fire started from an unknown cause in the boys' dormitory at the Fort Lewis Indian school, fifteen miles from Durango, at 6 o'clock Tuesday night. In spite of the efforts of the employees of the school and the assistance of the scholars the building was destroyed, together with the gymnasium and schoolhouse adjoining. All of the buildings in question were old and had been used since the establishment of the government military at Fort Lewis. The loss probably will exceed $15,000. The entire contents of the buildings were saved. There are about 200 students in the school. It favorable results are obtained from investigations which are being made by the members of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Colorado, the city of Boulder may be supplied with electric light and power from its own reservoirs. Of late there has been much discussion over the state concerning the possibility of furnishing the different towns and cities with light and power from adjacent or distant water-falls and reservoirs. General Irving Hale, a year ago expressed the view that he believed both Colorado Springs and Denver would in the future be thus furnished with electricity and it is on this plan that a thesis is being prepared by Mr. E. C. Curtis and Mr. F. V. Bliss upon "The Design of a Power Plant from Boulder Settling Reservoir." A large number of the citizens of Boulder are keenly interested in the project and if the results of the investigation prove favorable, action will no doubt be immediately taken to install the plant. FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth Tenth, Ironton, O. says, "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was JOHN H. BURKE fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight cletting, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating were gone. I have been in good health ever since."

In the old colony town of Sclituate, Mass., once lived Deacon J——, who had a yoke of oxen he desired to sell. The news reached the ears of Farmer T——, who lived in another portion of the town, who was in want of a pair. So he visited the deacon, who met him with a gracious smile and led him to the oxen, which were chewing their cuds and to all appearances ready for any amount of toil. After some bargaining a difference of five dollars remained. Finally the deacon said: "I am old and feeble, and shall not live long, and five dollars will be of no account," so the bargain was made. Farmer T—— took the oxen me. They proved worthless, could not work, and had been heated. He felt provoked at being sold, and, seeing a person the next day who was going to the part of the town where the deacon lived, said:/ "You tell Deacon J— he need not live another d—d minute longer on my account." THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA. Were Treated at Dispensary—Did Not Improve—Suffered Five Months —Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My three children had eczema for five months. A little sore would appear on the head and seemed very itchy, increasing day after day. The baby had had it about a week when the second boy took the disease and a few sores developed, then the third boy took it. For the first three months I took them to the N—Dispensary, but they did not seem to improve. Then I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and in a few weeks they had improved, and when their heads were well you could see nothing of the sores. Mrs. Kate Keim, 513 West 29th St. New York, N. Y., Nov. 1, 5 and 7, 1906." Secret of Japan's Success Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton of the British army wrote the evening after one of the great battles which he had witnessed between Russians and Japanese in the recent war in Manchuria: "To bed! Although it is with reluctance that I prepare to lose my grip of the exciting consciousness that I have to-day seen the most stupendous spectacle that it is possible for mortal brain to conceive—Asia advancing, Europe falling back; the wall of mist and the writing thereon." Then as to the meaning of this retreat of Europe before advancing Asia: "The more I think the more certain I am that it was not strategy or tactics, or armament or information, which won the battle of Liaoyang for Oyama, but that it was rather the souls of the Japanese troops which triumphed over the less developed, less awakened, less stimulated qualities of the Russians." TACK THIS UP. Simple Advice Which May Prove of Untold Value. At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weakness and Urinary trouble, the following simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargoh, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle. This is said to force the Kidneys to filter the sour acids and poisons from the blood, overcoming the worst cases of Rheumatism. Year's Cigarette Output. The cigarette output of 4,368,729,015 in the calendar year of 1906 must have come as a surprise to the bulk of the trade, but more stunning yet its increase in one year of 842,240,425, an increase by nearly 300,000,000 larger than the increase of our cigar industry during the same year. This jump is the more remarkable in the face of the pronounced and unrelenting hostility of a half dozen state legislatures which have ostracized not only the manufacture but also the handling and consumption of cigarettes within the confines of their respective territories.—United States Tobacco Journal THE VALUE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort.

As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of—Syrup of Figs—and to get beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.

Because they have neglected themselves, as every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in those dragging sensations, pains at left or right of abdomen, backaches, nervous exhaustion, inflammation, ulceration, displacements, and other organic weaknesses. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female system and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation—but remember that Lydia E.

An excellent example which we saw the other day was of white elaborately flowered, bordered with black and mounted over rose pink, the short bodice bearing a lace bertha tied with black velvet ribbons, the long narrow skirt being elaborately frilled with shades of the pink chiffon just visible below the black border. The exceptions to the rule of the diaphanous dresses of this short-waisted description were mostly velvet, tightly fitting with plain skirts and a decolletage bordered with a few folds of tulle. I saw no less than three frocks King Cecil New and Smart Style for Cloth Gown. on these lines, one in black, another in brown, and a third in sapphire blue, the black being perhaps the most successful, and it was worn by a very fair young matron, in whose hair were twisted a few folds of black chiffon. And writing of hair reminds me once more to impress upon your minds that the outline of the collure a la mode is totally different from what it was last year. Now it is flat on the top, and brushed in soft loose waves across over the top of the ears, any decoration following the same line, setting backwards and not upwards. I know I have written this before, even as I am conscious that I shall write it again, but it is an important circumstance, and it is essential that you consider it, you who would be in the movement of fashion. Not alone in the evening time is this method of dressing the hair popular in the daytime, when it is crowned by hats which overshadow the brov, and bear plums drooping downwards at the back. The general effect of contour makes for grace in combination with the long coats or short-waisted bodices and narrow long skirts. Slender and loose and straight and easyful; these are the points which characterize the most up-to-date gowns, and no bad points either, since undoubtedly while making for elegance they press home the plea of comfort. But, and there is always a but, they insist for their best achievement upon the help of the finest materials. Cloth dresses, if unlined, must be made of the best cloth, loose bodices if trimmed with lace or embroidery call aloud for fine lace and good embroidery, and always such gowns have their best triumphs with the lace or trimming, of whatever kind, in white or cream color; while the under-sleeves should match these light decorations at the neck, and such equipments must be absolutely fresh to be at all charming. The same drawback must be written down to the credit of the hats, their beaver or velvet foundation must be fine, and their feathers can only droop in the right way if they are of superlative quality. Mind, I am not advocating these extravagances, because I am always anxious to keep clear of the accusation of prodigality, which I know pursues me; I am merely mentioning that these things are, and how they must be if they are to achieve the results designed for them by their pioneers. As to the gowns shown in our large illustration in No. 1 you will see an example of the Princess dress and the wide square sleeves which are ubiquitous, these being made of thick Irish lace together with the belt across the front, while above peeps a narrow vest of velvet, and above again a tight-fitting yoke and collarband of fine lace. As a costume for the immediate moment I would commend it in mulberry cloth, while for the early springtime good results might be expected and arrived at in lavender blue or a deep warm shade of biscuit, which the authorities rechristen yearly, "banana," "the inner husk of the chestnut," or "almond," being amongst its popular names. The other picture represents a dress made of that very thin thin which hangs like chiffon and wears better. In a dull shade of green it has as sole ornament monster tucks, while round the waist is a belt of dull gold galon, the cream lace yoke being laid over gold tissue. This style is worth the attention of the home dressmaker, for it is easy to produce, and most inexpensive in its demand for those etcs., which have a habit of mounting up formidable heights, and rendering the efforts of the thrifty difficult when the results desired are to be supremely successful. A charming gown of purple cloth is shown in our single column illustration. The skirt is quite untrimmed and hangs in soft rather full folds, just touching the ground all around. The draped bodice has soft revers of satin, caught in by little tabs and amethyst buttons, while big amethyst buttons rimmed round with silver will look charming on the Parma mauve walstcoat. The chemisette introduce the soft touch of filmy lace which is a becoming feature of practically every gown nowadays. Just a touch of lace can also be bad in the form of a little inner cuff, or ruffle, to lieve the short puffed sleeves. Denver, Colo J. F.

If we measure life by a man's desire, he cannot live long enough; if we measure it by his evil deeds; he has lived too long.

Markets the Natural Abode of Strong Language, Says Writer. The unpolished phraseology, native though not peculiar to this quarter of London, has given rise to the proverbial use of the name Billingsgate. "One may term this the Esculine Gate of London," says old Fuller. "Here one may hear lingua jurgatrices." The seventeenth century references to the "rhetoric" or obscene language of the market are frequent, and hence foul language itself is called "billingsgate." In "Vanity Fair," too, Thackeray tells us how Mr. Osborne cursed Billingsgate with an emphasis worthy of the place. It is curious how markets are the natural abode of strong language. Thus the French equivalent for "You are no better than a Billingsgate fish fag" is "Your compliments are like those of the Place Maubert," the Place Maubert being noted for its market. In the good old days the Billingsgate porters seem to have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, for one Bagford writing in 1715 says, "This being to my mind another ancient custom that hath been omitted of late years. It seems that in former times the porters that plied at Billingsgate used civilly to entreat and desire every man that passed that way to salute a post that stood there in a vacant place. If he refused to do this they forthwith laid hold of him and by main force bumped him against the post, but if he quietly submitted to kiss the same, and paid down sixpence they gave him a name, and chose some one of the gang for his godfather. I believe this was done in memory of some old image that formerly stood there, perhaps of Belus, or Belin." The original porters of Billingsgate belonged to one of the oldest labor guilds in the country, the Fellowship of Porters, and at one time the carrying work both at Billingsgate and from the wharves to the warehouses of the city within a certain radius was entirely performed by them. Triumph of Heredity. The other college boys were hazing the new freshman, who was the son of a clergyman. "You will be required," they said, as they stood him on a table, "to preach a sermon." "I'll do it, gentlemen," he answered, "on condition that you do not interrupt me until I have finished." "We promise." "Will you kindly furnish me a text?" "You will preach a sermon," they said, after consulting together a moment, "on Cerberus." "On Cerberus, gentlemen? Great Sc—" "That's text enough, sir. Go ahead. You are wasting time." "All right. Cerberus it is. My hearers, the subject of this discourse naturally divides itself into three heads. As you have been kind enough to promise not to interrupt me I shall occupy your attention only half an hour on each. I remark, firstly," etc. They stood it patiently for 15 minutes. Then they sneaked out, one by one, and the hazing came to an end. Webster Said Nav. Hon. Warren F. Daniel of Franklin, N. H., ex-member of congress from this district, told the following: He worked in a paper mill when a boy, and had to make such long days that he had no time to go anywhere during the day. He had learned that Mr. Webster, who lived some four miles away, had imported some fine cattle, and being very fond of animals, induced his mother to allow him to go to see them Sunday after church service. So he and another boy went down. Upon arriving at the farm they met Mr. Webster, who inquired what they wanted. When Mr. D. explained Mr. Webster said: "Boys, did you not know this is the Lord's day, and you cannot see the cattle?" Mr. D. explained that they had no other time, and had been to church twice, and that his mother had given them permission to come; but Mr. Webster would not change his original decision. She Had to Come One of the old governors of the Carolinas was a man who had lived a farmer's life most of the time until he was elected, and his wife, having never seen a steamboat or a railroad, and having no wish to test either one, refused to accompany her husband to the capital. When the governor reached his destination he found that almost all the other officials were accompanied by their wives, and he sent an imperative message to his brother to "fetch Melinda along." The brother telegraphed: "She's afraid even to look at the engine." The governor read the message and pondered over it for a few moments. At the end of that time he sent off the following command: "Bill, you blindfold Melinda and back her on to the train." —Exchange. Giving Sonny a Pithy Hint. "Now that you are married, my son, listen to me." "What is it, dad?" "Try to be a husband, not an ex-bachelor." Couldn't Get In. Mrs. Styles—Do you suppose hoop-skirts will ever come in again?
