Building Fund H ver Citizen Protest Again "Negro"--The Civil S Color Line Special to Colorado Statesman: The Y. M. C. A. building fund at the close of business on April 26, had reached the sum of $17, 750. The enthusiasm is unabated and the meetings continue of a most interesting character and productive of much good. We are in receipt of a letter from Isiaah Mitchell of Denver, vigorously protesting against the use of the word Negro in the Washington letter of the 20th ult. Without embarking upon a discussion of the reative merits of the different names which are used to distinguish the race of people freed by Abraham Lincoln, we will say that custom has sanctioned the use of either term—colored, Negro or Afro-American. It is essentially a matter of individual perference and the use of either can leave no doubt in the rational mind as to the people to whom reference is made. For myself, I always use and much prefer the strong, concise and good old Saxon term Negro, which to my mind more successfully carries the thread of racial history and reflects an honorable allegiance to a people who are coeval with history and whose blood furnishes the dominant strain in a very large majority of the people of color in America. Secretary Taft recently talked in a kind and brotherly sort of way to the Porto Ricans. He promised them every good thing under the sun except citizenship. But that is the one thing for which they crave. American protection amounts to nothing without an American vote. It is like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. By all means they should have the ballot, which is the concrete evidence of their citizenship. From all reports the Civil Service Commission is very much exercised over the fact that few white persons apply for the Examinations in the southern states, while Negro applicants are everywhere numerous and persistent in their efforts to submit to the tests and render themselves eligible for Federal positions. The Commission accounts for State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo TE MONDA COLORA CANDIDATE F gton D. C. has Reached $17.750--A Den- inst the Use of the word service Situation. The in Europe. this extraordinary condition in various ways. It suggests that the whites do not apply for the examinations through a disinclination to placing themselves in competition with the blacks. This view of the matter would seem to substantiate the contention, which grows more and more insistent, that the latter are fast outstripping the former in the acquisition of elementary learning. At any rate the situation is suggestive of promise and is encouraging to a marked degree to all the agencies that are working for the educational uplift of our people. Another suggestion is that the southern whites are usually Democrats, who argue that even should they make good averages in an examanation, they would not be selected for appointment since the administration is Republican. This view if really held by wuld- be office holders from the South would have short shrift could they witness the operation and method of appointment at Washington. We know of one instance where a Chief Clerk made requisition on the Commission for a laborer to fill a vacancy and in due time three names were certified from the eligible list. The C. C. chose a name for the place that would seem to indicate the possessor was of good old Hibernian stock, and therefore most probably a Democrat; but, Lo! when the man who owned the name appeared, his physical presentment showed that his presumable Hibernian lineage was traceable in name only. He was Negro from center to circumference and when he appeared for duty the C. C. threw up both hands and emitted a yell charged with sulphur and brimstone, whose sonorous echoes may still be heard as they rise and fall in eloquent reverberation throughout the large building. But this Negro, notwithstanding he was persona non grata is still doing business for Uncle Sam and making good in an acceptable way as at least ninety per cent of Negroes always do. As for the promotion of Southern Democrats under a Republican administration, it is the experience DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1907. of persons conversant with this phase of office holding, that their advancement is, at least in some departments, a great deal more sedulously looked after than that of good Republicans. This is especially true when the eligible Republican happens to be a black man. There is nothing for him to do but wait. The white Democrat is handed the button every time though the black man may be never so efficient and many years the senior in length of service. It would seem then that those good old southern Democrats are either excessively timid or grossly negligent of their opportunities. Besides it is very cruel and unfeeling to have the commission worried in this way. The color line, which in the countries of Europe has always been regarded as wholly intangible and altogether imaginary, seems to take on something of a real existence when the autocratic, plutocratic and undemocratic white American citizen makes his appearance on the other side. We are accustomed to the thing here for it is noticeable wherever you go. The edict 'thus far shalt thou come and no further' is the writing on the wall which seems to dictate and control the consideration which is everywhere meted out to the Negro American. The executivo departments of the government, department stores and public conveyances alike demonstrate the general adoption of this creed. We confess, however that it is something of a jolt to our optimism to find the poisonous virus has been shot into the arteries of a great republic across the water. The evidence of this is found in a recent press dispatch which states that Major Taylor, the champion Negro bicycle rider was requested to leave a Parisian hotel on the threat of a party of Americans, to vacate unless he was expelled. Thus it is that the great and powerful, the thoroughly moral Christian American character—unapproachable in its love of fairplay and equality of privilege and action (on paper,) is not content with the numerous native avenues through which an absurd and vulgar prejudice may be exhibited. Oh, No! It crosses into a country hitherto unspoiled and arrogantly places its own silly wishes against the ethics of a people to whom liberty and freedom in its largest application are very much more than an empty sound—whose every heart beat is a vigorous protest against the inequalities growing out of discrimination and caste. Major Taylor, in a gentlemanly and dignified manner, gracefully withdrew from the hotel in question and to avoid a recurrence of the unpleasant incident. leased a house at Neilly for the race season at Buffalo Park. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Vartous Sources. Lawton, O. T., April 20.—Altus is aroused over the Negro situation. The white citizens are driving all blacks who refuse to work from the city. This has caused the Negroes by the hundreds to flock to Hobart and Lawton. But their presence at the latter two cities is not more welcome than in Altus. A Negro, who has no business, is not permitted to stop in Hobart over night. Mayor Jones of Lawton has given official notice to all Negroes in the city that they must get busy or move. Chattanooga, April 20.—W. A. Calhoun a colored musician of this city (Chattanooga Tenn.) was recently appointed permanent musical director at the new opera house here. This comes as a fitting climax to a series of his successes here, he having appeared on programs at Olympia and in piano recitals twice at the white Y. M. C. A. He has also appeared over a dozen times at the German Ratskeller, where the elite of the white musicians assemble to listen to his renditions of the classics. This kind of work is a great help to the race in this section. Altanta, Ga., April 14. At the second mass meeting held this afternoon to bring about a better understanding between the races the principal address was made by Bishop H. M. Turner of the A. M. E. church. Bishop Turner made a bitter attack upon the courts and legislature declaring Negroes have been discriminated against. He paid his respects to the Nation, the Supreme Court, the President and Senator Tillman, ending with words of praise for former Governor Northern. "There has been enough innocent Negro blood spilled." he shouted, "to drown Congress, the Supreme Court and President." The meeting was attended by both races, the Negroes being largely in majority. The following is a clipping from the St. Louis Glode, and it is worth reading: The Clansman returned to the Century last night. It is one of those dramas which signify little or nothing, as to the tendency of affairs in America at the present day. It was written in response to no popular demand, and it has held its own only by a species of notoriety which would have depressed any theatrical maner having any other aim than mon- ey-getting, regardless of methods. No reputable dramatist would have the piece, and no author with any respect for that which is beautiful in art and accurately true to life would have fathered the story. Above everything else, no wise or good citizen would have consented to the liberation of this perplexing and strife provoking farce. The "play," as it is called, consists of a series of pictures in which the Negro of reconstruction days is represented as a cruel, lustful beast, and during the action the stage presents a pied picture of black and white characters, all shamfully missdrawn, or broadly burlesqued. In a few cities legal steps were taken to prevent the presentation of this unwholesome drama. It is a pity to consider it severely—perhaps to consider it at all—since it contains too little merit to carry it half way through one season if its name had not been heralded, abroad by means of the protests of the people who have been offended by it. JAMESTOWN NOTES. One of the most remarkable exhibits to be installed in the Negro department is a friction-heater, of which C. S. L. Baker, of Kansas, is the inventor and patentee. In this wonderful machine, Mr. Baker has managed to multiply seven times over the average efficiency of electricity, producing heat by the friction process and has secured results almost unbelievable. He can, with his invention, heat a railway passenger coach without using an ounce of fuel, obtaining the motive power necessary to run his friction heater from the revolutions of the axle of the trucks beneath the coach; he can go into a new building, when probably 6,000 worth of steam-pipes would ordinarily be required, and will heat the structure satisfactorily by using only 80 feet of piping. He will operate a coffee stand at the exposition, where he will serve coffee made by his friction-heater. Mr. Baker's unique machine bids fair to revolutionize existing methods of securing heat for public and private purposes. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted educator, has made public a statement endorsing the Negro Exhibit, and declaring himself as heartily in sympathy with the effort of Chairman Thomas J. Calloway and his energetic assistants to place before the world a concrete demonstration of the Negro's achievements in the many fields of human endeavor. He bespeaks for the enterprise the greatest success, and says it will be a serious mistake if our people fail to put forth their highest and best efforts to make it all that it should be. NO. 32. Clarence Cameron White, director of the musical exhibit, will have as a feature of his collection, a list of the music teachers of the country, together with the branches of music taught, number of pupils and other data showing the extent of the development and aspiration of the Negro in the musical arena. Exhibits are coming in at a lively rate, and the success of the exhibit is no longer in doubt. The display will, in all respects, reflect the highest degree of credit upon the Negro people. Three new hetels for the accommodation of colored visitors are in course of construction, and will be ready by the time the rush comes on. An elegantly equipped steamboat, operated by a colored corporation, will ply between Norfolk and the exposition grounds. The General Convention of the Baptists of North America, with colored and white delegates, the second visit of President Roosevelt on "Georgia Day" in June, the conference of the newspaper fraternity July 4, the Inter-Deuominational Congress of Religious the third week in August, National Medical Association Day August 30, and Masonic Day September 24, are a few of the special occasions in sight, that will be of particular interest to Afro-American visitors. SCHOOL ELECTION. An Important Duty that All Should TaKe an Interest in Next Menday, May 6th. School election will be held in Denver next Monday May 6th at which time a Director for the Board of Education is to be elected, and as this election is one of much importance to everybody that has at heart the educational advancements of our youths, we should not overlook the duty of exercising our franchise in this important election. As an exponent for the Negroes we take pleasure in announcing for this important office the name of Daniel E. Phillips, Ph. D. The strong endorsement of Mr. Phillips by the business men of Denver regardless of politics, is a safe guarantee that he will sustain his excellent reputation as a logical and conservative man for the position, therefore we urge our citizens to vote for him on next Monday, May 6th. As it is not necessary to be registered let us line up and make his election a certainty. ```markdown ``` THE Broadhurst and Barnett SHOE CO. 823 SIXTEEFTH ST.

Wast of Bellevue Raises Window to Greet the Crowd and Has Face Filled With Pepper. Fort Collins, Colo.—The town of Bellevue, twelve miles northwest of Fort Collins, is aroused to a fever heat as the result of an attack made on the aged bride of N. S. West, a pioneer of that place, by a member of a charivari party, and if the identity of the guilty person is established he will be summarily dealt with. Red pepper was dashed into the eyes of the woman, and it is feared she will lose her sight. The affair is said to be the outcome of a feud between residents of the district over certain land lines, in which West was involved. The son of a member of the rival faction is suspected. No warrants have been sworn out pending an investigation to definitely establish the identity of the persons responsible. West has not decided whether or not to push the prosecution, but his friends are determined that the guilty parties will be brought to justice even if it is necessary to take the law into their own hands. Mrs. West war formerly Mrs. A. E. Adams, her husband having died several years ago. She is fifty years old and was married to West, who is fifty-three, Saturday night. She is his third wife. Last night about 8 o'clock, as the couple was about to retire, the charivari party began the serenade. Little attention was paid to them until, failing to get any response to their noises, they became bolstered and began to throw rocks through the windows. West requested the boys to leave the premises, but he was jeered and hooted until forced to go back into the house. The throwing of rocks against the house continued until nearly every window light was broken. West then attempted to talk to the youths, but his voice was drowned by the noise. Mrs. West leaned through one of the broken windows and attempted to advise the lads. She had spoken but a few words when one of the number ran up and threw the pepper into her face. Her eyes were filled with the burning substance and so excruciating was the pain that she almost completely collapsed. A physician was hurriedly summoned and spent the entire night in an effort to relieve the pain. She is still suffering intensely and the doctors are unable to say whether or not her sight can be saved. In the dark, Mrs. West was unable to see the lad who threw the pepper, but there is strong suspicion against a prominent young man of the city. New Buildings at the University. In pursuance of the appropriation by the last Legislature of $100,000 to the State University, the regents of that institution have ordered the drawing of plans and the bidding of contracts for a $25,000 shop building to be added to the facilities of the College of Engineering. The location of the building and its details have already been decided upon. According to a definite scheme of campus arrangement the new shops will be situated on what is at present the girls hockey field and will be modern in every respect. There will be a modified "saw-tooth" roof which will allow the entrance of plenty of light to the wood-turning rooms, the wood benches, the forge shop, the foundry, the machine shop, and the drawing rooms below. In size, 181 feet in length by 93 feet in width, the shop building will be erected so as to permit indefinite additions as increases demands. The construction of the new shops is a solution of the crowded conditions caused by the rapid increase in enrollment in the College of Engineering and will leave greater space in the present buildings for the other courses of the department. The shop work is essentially a first year study and the new shop building will naturally be devoted largely to the use of the freshmen. When completed it will be, so authorities estimate, the finest of its kind in any technical school west of the Mississippi, with the possibility of one exception. The fact of its erection is but a mark of the growth of the importance and value of the University of Colorado. The regents have also concluded to erect part of another building but more particular announcements regarding it have not been given to the public. Woke Up a Bad Man La Junta, Colo.—Crazed by losing money as a result of the San Francisco fire and earthquake, Harry Hannen, a former owner of a five-and-tencent store in the coast city, fired five shots at Santa Fe Night Watchman Boyd at the depot in this city, after the officer asked him to show his ticket. Boyd's clothing was torn by the bullets and one shot grazed his temple, inflicting a slight wound. The merchant had arrived from the coast en route to Coolidge, Kansas. He was scantily dressed as the result of wandering about the streets of California towns. The train he was to have taken for the East was late, and the man, who is seventy-one years old, being unable to pay for a room, was sleeping in the depot waiting room. The watchman, thinking he was a tramp, asked him for his ticket. The old man's face flushed, and he reached into his back pocket. Pulling out a revolver, he aimed it at the officer, and, pressing the trigger, said: "I'll give you all the ticket you want." The first shot missed fire. The madman emptied the remaining five shots at the watchman, all the while using profanity. Boyd started backward and succeeded in reaching the door by the time the pistol was emptied. Boyd arrested the aged merchant, who was this morning tried on the charge of carrying concealed weapon and sentenced to twelve days in jail. Boyd will swear to a complaint charging Hannen with attempted murder. The old man refuses to give out any information that would lead to the knowledge of his relatives or home.

ALARMING STATE OF AFFAIRS Unless Race Suicide is Checked the "Last of the Human" Race Will Soon Be Written by Spirit Pen. New York.—In a letter to the editor of the Review of Reviews, President Roosevelt takes exception to certain statements made in an article on "The Doctor in the Public School," published in the April number of that periodical, and takes occasion to renew his expressions on the subject of race suicide. "This writer states clearly," says the President, "that it is an erroneous idea to assume that the average family should have a larger number of healthy children than the present birth rate showed. The vital statistics of a state like Massachusetts shows that there the average native American family of native American descent has so few children that the birth rate has fallen below the death rate. This, of course, means race suicide, and it ought to be understood that if after a while there are no children to go to school the question of their health in school would not even be academic." Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt says: "The greatest problem of civilization is to be found in the fact that the well-to-do families tend to die out; there results, in consequence, a tendency to the elimination, instead of the survival of the fittest, and the moral attitude which helps on this tendency is, of course, strengthened when it is apologized for and praised in a magazine like yours. "Our people could still exist under all kinds of iniquities in government; under a debased currency; under official corruption, under the rule of a socialistic proletariat, or a wealthy oligarchy. "All these things would be bad for us, but the country would still exist. But it could not continue to exist if it paid heed to the expressed or implied teachings of such articles as those." Bomb Thrown at President. Guatemala City, Guatemala.—An attempt was made on the life of President Estrada Cabrera. While out driving a dynamite bomb was exploded near his carriage, killing the horses and wounding General Crellana, the chief of staff. The calmness of the President, who was not injured, is universally commended and the would-be assassins are condemned on all sides. The strong feeling against Guatemala, arising from the assassination of ex-President Barillas, has been heightened by the report from Guatemala City that the United States and Mexican legations there have been stoned by a mob of several hundred men, instigated by agents of President Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala. There is evidently a strong inclination to give credence to the report and no official denial has been made, although the federal authorities refuse to confirm it. Mexican troops are being mobilized on the Guatemalan frontier, which is believed to be highly significant, although the War Department has declared that the mobilization of troops is nothing more than a move to insure strict neutrality. Reports are also current here that Minister Gamboa, representing Mexico in Guatemala, has left that country and crossed into Mexican territory as the result of friction with Cabrera's government, growing out of telegrams sent from Mexico to Guatemala relative to the assassination of General Barillas. Passports are said to be in preparation for Minister Guoine, Guatemala's representative in Mexico, for his return to his own country. It is learned that the Nicaraguans are still occupying the Honduras coast towns, being afraid to leave on account of the attitude of the Honduras insurgents, who have been their allies. The British cruiser Invincible has arrived at Puerto Cortez and is preparing to land marines to protect British interests. The feeling of safety has not reached the foreign subjects and the United States marines are still at Celiba, Puerto Cortez and Truxillo, as well as the small places. Died of Worry and Seaslckness. Sugar City, Colo.—Through the holding of memorial services by Rev. C. S. Steinmetz in honor of Mrs. Andrew Rosenthal, deceased, at the Methodist church, Sunday, a most pathetic case has come to sight. The woman died at sea. She had started from Russia to this country, accompanied by her husband, their three children having preceded them a few weeks. From the time the ship carrying the loved ones sailed the mother worried continually. She feared that the vessel on which the children embarked had gone down and said that she had been told by a mysterious voice that they had been lost. The husbands efforts to console Mrs. Rosenthal were unavailing and the worry combined with sea sickness caused her death when only four days out. The body was buried at sea and the heart-broken husband and father continued on his sorrowful journey. The meeting of parent and children here was most touching. The little family is almost crazed with grief. Picked a Pimple and Nearly Dies. Hotchkiss, Colo.—As a result of picking a pimple on his face M. M. Brokaw, a prominent young man of Hotchkiss, nearly bled to death. But for his rare presence of mind in hurrying for a physician he would probably have died. When the flow of the life fluid had finally been checked he was extremely weak, and a few moments would have probably meant death. He had finished shaving when he attempted to beautify his complexion by eliminating the tiny pimple. In some manner he ruptured an artery just under the skin. He realized the seriousness of the accident immediately and rushed to the doctor's office. He was nearly exhausted on arrival. At first it was feared that blood poisoning would set in, but he is now out of danger. John W. Gates Retires. New York.—After a career that has been marked by more spectacular ups and downs than has ever fallen to the lot of any man in Wall street, John W. Gates has decided to retire to the simple life. With him he takes his son, Charles G. Gates, who, in appearance and manner, greatly resembles his distinguished father. Their going marks the closing out of the great brokerage house of Charles G. Gates & Co., which has been for more than a year the storm center of the hottest financial campaigning of the western world. The loss of millions—Wall street estimates that amount at not more than $10,000,000—since the beginning of the present year, is believed to be the chief reason for the disappearance of John W. Gates. It must not be imagined for a moment that John W. Gates is bankrupt. It is believed that he can easily count on $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 saved from the disaster, but that is almost broke for Wall street. Those who know him best and who may be safely taken at their word, say that the famous plunger is still $3,000,000 to the good, and that this amount is invested in gilt-edged securities. That Gates is loser is evidenced by the fact that in the face of a constantly falling market he has been a consistent bull. The great brokerage house of which he has been the principal figure through all the recent slump kept up an optimistic tone in their letters of advice, and it is easy to see that if they followed them themselves they went sadly to the bad. Big Plant Expands Canon City, Colo.—The plant ana equipment of the Riamond Fire Brick Company in South Canon, one of the most expensive in southern Colorado, was sold to S. C. Cogwill & Son of Montezuma, Indiana, who will organize a new company for the conduct of the business. The senior Cogwill is president of the National Drain Tile Company, which is said to be the largest concern of its kind it the world, having factories in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. He has plans for extensive improvements here and will increase the capacity of the plant as rapidly as the demands of the trade warrant. The new company has practically unlimited capital and will develop the fire brick industry in Colorado and adjoining states to an extent not previously attempted. One of the products of the company will be silica brick, used for lining the furnaces of foundries, smelters, etc. This is the only place west of Pittsburg where such brick are made. Wyoming and Colorado Entries. St. Louis.—Coal land entries in Colorado and Wyoming made by citizens of St. Louis through several Denver promoters a year ago are being investigated by three federal secret service agents from Washington. The agents have gone from here to Milwaukee. Entries for more than 3,000 acres were obtained here through Frank P. Fay, connected with the Interstate Electric Light and Power Company, recently organized. Fay co-operated with F. W. Kellet of Denver, a director of the American Fuel and Iron Company, who spent some time here negotiating the entries. The land, Fay states, was never secured by the company, being withdrawn from entry by Secretary Hitchcock before the people who filed the entries could perfect their claims. According to Fay, this precludes charges of criminal conspiracy. Through former Sheriff Patrick H. Clarke, fifteen or twenty of his deputies last year made entries. Shame Overcomes Him. St. Louis.—Overcome with remorse because in a fit of impatience he had struck his aged mother and discolored her eye, Edward Linne slunk in shame into the basement of his mother's house and blew out his brains with a revolver. He had a native genius for painting, and working far into the night, when he should have slept, made him nervous. When, after a night of toll with the brush, his mother called him in the morning, he arose from his bed and struck the aged woman. He left the house, but returned later and asked his mother's forgiveness, weeping like a child. His mother readily forgave him, but he could not forgive himself. He went to the cellar and there shot himself through the head. Real "Romeo and Juliet." Huntington, W. Va.—Shakespeare's tragedy of "Romeo and Juliet" was re-enacted to the letter in this city when two sweethearts committed suicide with poison in the same room. Returning from a trip to Kentucky, Samuel Rittenour found that Rose Shears, whom he was to have married, had killed herself by drinking carbolic acid because she feared he had ceserted her. His failure to advise the young woman of his movements had given her this impression. Going to the room in which his sweetheart had died, Rittenour drank the same poison. Ryan Found Guilty. Denver,—"We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and fix the punishment at imprisonment for life at hard labor." This finding of the jury in the West Side Court, which for two days has listened to the evidence in the trial of James Ryan for the murder of Percy Smith, Jr., in the Novelty bar on the evening of January 21st, marks the last act in one of the most cold-blooded killings in the history of Denver and places a period to the career of the notorious "Nigger" Ryan, a man who for years has escaped punishment for his offenses against society. Killed by Lightning. Walsenburg, Colo.-Elfido Trujillo, aged twenty years, a relative of Felix Cruz, a wealthy farmer living near Walsenburg, was struck by a bolt of lightning on the latter's ranch Monday afternoon during a snowstorms and instantly killed. WOULD-BE ASSASSIN FAILS IM PLAN OF MURDER. PRESIDENT ESCAPES BULLET Opening of Jamestown Exposition Game Near Recording Cruel Assassination of President. Nortfolk, Va.—That there was a well formed plan to assassinate President Roosevelt at the opening of the Jamestown exposition and so repeat in many respects the national calamity that threw a shadow over the exposition at Buffalo, is now not denied. It is also known to the secret service that the man to carry out the designs of the anarchists had been selected. They know him as a desperate and insane fanatic, who would not hesitate at any crime. So carefully were the plans for assassination laid that a method of escape for him after the deed was committed, was devised. When the first news of the plot leaked out the whole machinery of the secret service was put in motion, not only to defeat the ends of the terrorists, but also to prevent any overt act that might cause alarm throughout the Nation. The most elaborate precaution were taken to protect the person of the chief executive during every moment of his attendance at the Tercentennial. A strong force of troops lined the space in front of the grandstand, half a hundred secret service men mixed with the crowd and -everybody who at tempted to cross Lees Parade to get to the stand was stopped. When the president left the stand he was hemmed in on every side by the secret service men and detectives, who were never more on the alert. It was probably due to the excellent police arrangements that no untoward event happened to mar the president's visit. Just before the president arrived at the exposition grounds, a letter which fell into the hands of the Washington police contained the information that a notorious Chicago anarchist of the extreme type whose name the police refuse to reveal had left Chicago and was believed to have gone to the exposition. Detectives stood at every gateway and, with a likeness of the anarchist in their hands, scanned the faces of the crowd as they entered. YERKES-MIZNERS TO SEPARATE Wilson Mizner and His Aged Wife Have to Quit. Chicago.—Mrs. Yerkes-Mizner, widow of Charles T. Yerkes, millionaire traction king, has rung down the final curtain on the little comedy surrounding her marriage to Wilson Mizner of San Francisco and New York. According this afternoon she has filed a suit for absolute divorce from Wilson Mizner, whom she wedded in New York a short time after the death of the traction magnate. This episode in her life caused more commotion in both Chicago and New York than some of the great deals in which her husband was interested. A private message telling of the signing of her petition for a separation does not give details, but it is asserted by Chicago friends that cruelty is probably the general charge. It will be remembered that following the romantic wedding of Mrs. Yerkes and Mizner much secrecy was maintained for several weeks, followed by his ejection from the Fifth avenue mansion of Mrs. Yerkes in New York and her flight to a sanitarium because of an illness that may cost her life. Then her reconciliation with her husband was followed almost immediately by the separation that it has now been decided shall be final. It is understood, however, that the declaration will show charges of desertion and statutory offences. It is also declared that a financial settlement may be made by Mrs. Mizner with her young husband in lieu of which he will make no opposition to the divorce proceedings, permitting her to be released from her marital bonds without a contest. Practical Joke May Kill Girl. Longmont, Colo.—Fay King, aged 18 years, of Studleigh, Kansas, is dying at the home of M. W. Stiff, from ptomaine poison, the result of a practical joke. King arrived from Kansas some time ago and went to a grazing camp looking for work. Coming from the Sunflower state, the men at the camp thought it would be a good joke to fill the youth up with alcohol, which made him very sick. King returned to the Stiff home and feeling better, ate some ice cream and candy. In a few hours ptomaine poison developed, the attending physician rays from the mixing of the ice cream with the alcohol that still remained in the young man's system. King is unconscious and cannot recover. His mother has been sent for. Killed Because of Own Carelessness. Trinidad, Colo.—The coroner's jury which investigated the death of Walter Notman, fire boss in the Midway coal mine, returned a verdict that he had been killed because of his own carelessness. Notman entered a portion of the mine where a large pocket of gas had accumulated with an exposed light, and an explosion followed. Notman's body was burned almost beyond recognition. Couldn't Stand the Spooks. Grand Junction, Colo.—Elbert N. Case of Mesa county has filed suit for divorce against his wife, Ida D. Case. He charges in the suit that she annoyed and harassed him with spirit readings, that she always maintained that the spirit of an Indian chief was hovering around them, and she bothered him with this class of discussions. He also charges that one night when he returned home he found her sitting on the knee of another man. She has filed a cross complaint denying all of the charges. DON'T FORGET WE GIVE S. & H.

GOVERNOR BUCHTEL'S veto of the anti-fusion bill has been the cause of considerable discussion in political circles, but after all it must be conceded that his reasons therefor are fully in accord with his well-known desire to do right by all the people. As a partisan measure the bill was perfectly allowable, but there was no certainty that such a law would have been allowed to remain on the statute books longer than the incoming of a Legislature of different political faith. Fusion is indeed a political nuisance and the resort of discontents, but there is some reason to believe that it is a constitutional right. It is to the credit of the Republican party that its general intelligence and its high aim left it above the fusion idea, and it should not prove injurious to the party, in the long run, that the privilege be left to the malcontents to assimilate their griefs and unite in their opposition to a party of courage and definite principle. Fusion elements are easily made the instruments of designing politicians. No responsibility of organization or party honor supports a fusion official. It is only a matter of a short time when fusion breaks its own neck. But perhaps it is better after all to leave such a matter wholly in the hands of the intelligent voters. Perpetual power, aided by partisan enactment, may not be the best thing for the people, no matter what party may hold that power. The Republican party cannot afford to be unjust or narrow. Governor Buchtel has undoubtedly pursued an honest and a wise course. ANOTHER GOVERNOR TALKS GOVERNOR GLENN of North Carolina has been up north doing some talking. From the amount of attention that black folks get from prominent southern officials, it is easy to judge that the black South amounts to more than it gets credit for. Governor Glenn adds to that opinion. Many northern people will not help us to develop our industries because, they say, "we are not kind to the Negroes," observed the governor. "We deny the black man social equality because we believe that the blood of the white race should not be mixed with his. We deny them the right to govern because they proved themselves incapable of governing themselves. The governors of the Carolinas have long been noted for the brilliancy of their remarks. What a former governor of North Carolina said to a former governor of South Carolina is a matter of historical record. But Governor Glenn had no occasion to measure the time between drinks when he spoke as above. Who mixes the blood of the white race with that of the Negro? Who is responsible for the origin of the numerous mulattoes to be found in the Carolinas? It is no secret that the average white gentleman of the South is a good mixer of blood as well as of cocktails. And what has the denial of social equality to do with it? The Negroes do not seek it. In no way do they seek direct social intercourse with the whites. Only such contact as the relations of business and of labor require is ever dreamed of by Negroes. White men seek the only mixed social relations sought. Why don't the morally pure southern deny social recognition to white men who have Negro mistresses. There is where the social evil has its beginning and its end. Just as unreasonable is the inference that the Negro aspires to govern the South. The Negro is not altogether a fool. He may desire the right to have some say as to who shall be governor of North Carolina, and if that right were accorded him we believe that no man of Governor Glenn's calibre would ever be elected to the office of chief executive. Nor would this be evidence of the Negro's inability. His desire to exercise the ordinary rights of a citizen, if legally capable, is not justly denied him. The excuses put forward by Representative Southerners for making the Negro a political and a social issue lack all semblance of sound reasoning, as well as of justice. THE PEACEMAKERS "Blessed are the peacemakers"—but where are they? The Peace congress called to celebrate the re-dedication of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg, the Peace conference concurrently in session at New York, and the President's appointment of delegates to the coming meeting of the Hague tribunal, having combined to fill the minds of the people with much peace talk during the past fortnight. The various conferences have called together professional men and women of note, educators, thinkers and idealists from the several countries of Europe and North America, and through them a sincere effort has been, or is being made to promote the world's peace. The official pronouncement of the several governments, of course, will await the action of the Hague tribunal. But the addresses delivered by the numerous speakers at these various conferences and congresses do not appeal to the layman, the practical man of ordinary, every-day life, the unheard fighting man of the ranks who becomes the sacrifice upon the altar of war, as likely to bring about the disarmament of nations, or to have any great influence towards turning the world away from its long-tried and well-loved barbarity. Elihu Root, the Secretary of State at Washington, makes the most practical utterance upon the subject, however, when he says that the time has passed when diplomats or officials of governments make war or peace, but that the people, speaking through a myriad press, make friendship or dislike, sympathy or discord, peace or war between nations. That human beings, through century after century of so-called Christian civilization and moral culture should be required to base all government and all governmental intercourse upon military force, does not indicate a true realization of or appreciation for the principles of truth, of universal love and righteousness. In fact and in truth, Caucasian civilization is founded upon war and war's conquests. The Caucasian, even of to-day, is born and bred in the cradle of war. The idea is wrapped and woven into his being by the influences of his birth, his religion and his education. The spirit of war has made his conception of his own power and authority world-wide. He would dominate the earth. No matter whether that domination be looked upon as political, commercial or industrial, the results are just the same. Other races must be subject races in the Caucasian's march toward progress, perfection and peace. Does he mean to give up these ideas upon which he has built for two thousand years? Or is all this peace-talk merely for a truce program, a program of arbitration by which the governments of Europe and America may secure and insure peaceful and perpetual charter over all the earth? For, in fact, there can be no world-wide peace without world-wide justice. Until among nations, countries, people or races, each shall be willing to give unto each his own, there can be no peace. For men do not plan and shape the course of the world or the rise and fall of nations, but there is a destiny above all their doings which crushes out injustice and which will bring universal peace out of universal righteousness. The Club Universal for Young Men By GEORGE SUTHERLAND, Executive Secretary, Cleveland, O. Y. M. C. A. N these days of exclusive clubs it is possible to point out one club that is open for membership to all good citizens of the male persuasion—the Young Men's Christian association. I Plenty of people think of the Young Men's Christian association as a religious institution, merely. It is that, and more. The religion is mostly on the inside, but can be noticed on the outside through its results. What the blood is to the body, religion is to the Young Men's Christian association. It works from the heart toward the surface. Good blood makes a good body. So much for the policy of an institution which works for the good of mankind, but does not wear its religion on its coat sleeve. In the Young Men's Christian association everything helpful that can be done for a man is done. Positively no questions are asked about what particular church one belongs to, or whether one belongs to any church. A member may believe anything he pleases; he can be a Jew or a Gentile, a Catholic or a Protestant—yea a Buddhist or a Mohammedan—it is all one at the Y. M. C. A. The association's only object is to help the man, and it does not concern itself about the meums and tuums of mere dogma. And the man whom the association influences is helped in many ways. Association workers say they try to help him in three distinct ways—morally, mentally and physically. The first is through association and assimilation, the second through education, and the third by means of what possibly might be termed gymnastication, i. e., physical training in the gymnasium. When a young man joins the Young Men's Christian association he finds good company. In such company it does not take him long to become interested in things which promote the best interests of his character. Sometimes he makes friends with people who afterward find themselves in a position to help him. Many such valuable aids to success have come out of the fellowship which is engendered at the Y. M. C. A. But this reference, of course, is to the merely selfish side of the question. After a little while the young man gets past this, and reaches the point where he enjoys helping others. In short, he has absorbed an atmosphere which developed his soul life, and which has made of him a better young man than he was when he joined the association. Some good things to be found in almost any Y. M. C. A. in the country are its baths—shower, plunge and tub; games of various kinds in gymnasium practice; reading and writing rooms; library; Sunday afternoon talks—neither sermons nor lectures, but genuinely interesting; evening discussions on the pressing problems of the hour; course lectures, presenting the best lyceum talent available; debating congresses; camera, water sport, boxing, fencing, wrestling, musical and outing clubs; employment bureaus; night school classes., etc. "Better Manhood!" is the motto of the Young Men's Christian association. The book of life is sealed with two words—rights and duties. What is due to us from the world, what is due from us to the world—these two complete the circle of our social relations. Even in the higher sphere in which we deal The Two Seals of the Book of Life By REV. THOMAS E. BARR, Milwaukee. with God the same division holds; some things we may expect from God, specially that we shall be dealt with in accordance with the nature he has given us and the conditions under which we are placed; some things of faith and obedience and following, we owe to him. These two supplement each other. Our first necessities compel us to seek our rights, to demand of men what we feel is due to us, of opportunity, of supply, of consideration. Associated life forces us to recognize duty, obligation to give even as we demand; as children we owe obedience to our parents, as students to teachers, as employees to employers, as citizens to the law, as human souls to God. The chain is complete. Duty is first in importance. It is always at hand. It is a continual seed time. Duty ignored to-day may break a thread in the fabric of life which years hence will spoil our happiness. Duty is the gateway to knowledge and the means of power. To-day's duty educates and strengthens for to-morrow's responsibility and the next day's battle for rights. Duty performed is the protection against our ignorance. Duty performed, honestly and ungrudgingly, holds us in accord with this unseen, unfolding life, and brings us with clean hands to plead for our rights in the court of humanity or heaven. This is the way out of our troubles. It is not only a good road to follow. It is the road we must travel. We shall only heap up sorrow for ourselves until we learn to do the first things first, to do our duty and so find our rights. Thus it was that Jesus, reminding his hearers of the ungrudging love of parents as picturing the love of God for men, said, "Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." Advantages of Madness By GILBERT J. CHESTERTON. Noted English Writer. Advantages of Madness By GILBERT J. CHESTERTON. Noted English Writer. The truth is, I fear, that madness has a great advantage over sanity. Sanity is always careless. Madness is always careful. There is a great deal of falschood in the notion that truth must necessarily prevail. There is this falsehood to start with: that if a man has got the truth he is generally happy. And if he is happy he is generally lazy. The incessant activity, the exaggerated intelligence, generally belong to those who are a little wrong and just a little right. The whole advantage of those who think that Bacon wrote Shakespeare lies simply in the fact that they care whether Eacon wrote Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage of those who do not think it lies in the fact that they do not care about it. The sane man who is sane enough to see that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare is the man who is sane enough to worry whether he did or not. A.T.

"I was greatly amused," said a downtown merchant who has lately made a visit abroad, "to notice how the term Yankee widens in application as one gets further and further away from the habitat of the real thing. Sir William Ramsey likes to tell about his first meeting with Prof. Ira Remsen, president of Johns Hopkins university, back in 1871. Both were students at Tubingen university, Germany, but they did not know each other. Sir William lost his way. Ringing for a long time at a door in the rear of the laboratory, he was finally answered by a man with dirty face and hands and dirtier overalls. "I met a very intelligent hotel keeper at Berne, in Switzerland, and in the course of conversation he remarked that he had an extremely agreeable countryman of mine staying at his house the previous season. "Konnen Sie mir sagen wo die Vorlesungszimmer?" queried Sir William. This was shocking German, but he had done the best he could with his phrase book. "As you are both Yankees, you may by chance know him," he said. "Where does he live?" I asked. "In Buenos Ayres," replied the hoo-keeper."—New York Press. "Vas fst?" inquired the man of toil. The question was repeated. Finally a light broke upon Prof. Remsen "Oh," he said, motioning to a building across the yard, "I guess you want the recitation room."—New York Times.

FCB ERRATIC OLD RIVER MISSOURI HAS RECORD FOR DOING QUEER THINGS. Owners of Property Along Its Banks Have No Excuse for Suffering from Lack of Excitement —Case in Point. There are rivers of all lengths and sizes and all degrees of wetness. There are river with all sorts of peculiarities and with widely varying claims to fame. But there is only one river with a personality, habits, dissipations, a sense of humor and a woman's caprice; a river that goes traveling sidewise, that interferes in politics, rearranges geography and dabbles in real estate; a river that plays hide and seek with you to-day and to-morrow follows you around like a pet dog with a dynamite cracker tied to its tail. That river is the Missouri, says a writer in the American Magazine. This thing happened in Kansas City not many years ago: A party of men owned a strip of land along the Missouri river bank. It was not handsome land, but it was valuable for factory purposes. They were offered portly prices for it, but held on. One day they noticed that the strip was getting emaciated. They held a hurried diagnosis with a surveyor's tape and found that half of it had been washed away. The next year half of the remainder had gone. The men wanted to sell then, but the market seemed remarkably sluggish. The next year the river ate so vigorously that only a tiny strip about as wide as a piece of baby ribbon was left. The men were much depressed. Suddenly the land began to increase. The Missouri had chosen the late manufacturing site for a place to deposit a fine 160-acre farm upon which it had foreclosed up the river. Inside of six months that strip of land contained 200 acres. The men were jubilant, but still they would not sell. They wanted another 100 acres, they said. They strolled along the bank each day and urged the river, in proprietary tones, to build faster. Then the river changed its mind once more and not only wiped out the extra 100 acres but the original 100 acres, every foot of it. The next year it built up 500 acres in the same spot, but they all belonged to the man who owned the ground behind the original plot. They have stayed there ever since—that is, up to last reports. For high financing and property juggling the Missouri makes a crooked lawyer look like a child. I hate to think what it would do for a man if it had a personal friendship for him. About Star Points on Coins About Star Points on Coins. "Few people, with the exception of coin collectors, notice such minor details, but it is a rather interesting fact to note that on one side of some of our coins the stars have five points, as upon the flag, while on the other side the stars have six," an official of the Washington mint recently remarked. "In English heraldry," he continued, "a correct star had six or more points—usually six. When designs for the first American coins were made the heraldic usage was followed and the stars given six points. The flag of the nation was made up very largely from the coat of arms of the Washington family, in which, for some reason, the stars have but five points. "On the obverse of our present quarter and half dollar the stars, 13 in number, are six pointed, while on the reverse they are five pointed. This difference is due to the fact that the reverse of these coins is simply a copy of the great seal of the United States, except that the clouds are omitted. On the great seal and on the seal of the president the stars are five pointed, while the seal of the house of representatives shows six pointed stars." Where She Lost Interest. "Automobiling does toulse one's hair so!" said the beautiful young creature as they descended from the machine and started up the dark walk toward the house where they were to call. "It does?" he inquired politely. "Yes; it gives it the same effect as though one had been struggling to avoid being kissed," she gurgled. "Inneed? I fancy you should carry a small hand mirror and some hairpin when you go automobiling," he suggested, moving right up the dark walk. Some way or other, by one of those unexplainable psychological impulses, at that, very moment she began to realize he was not the man she would select as an affinity—Judge. Good Natured. "They say," remarked Gabbie, "that the after effects of the grip are as bad as the disease sometimes." "That's no lie," replied Brokley. "I had the grip last winter, and it's making trouble for me now, I tell you." "Why, you're not in the hands of the doctor, now?" "No; I'm in the hands of the doctor's lawyer now." Too Much Experience. "My friend and I have been discussing the vexed question whether people are punished as they go along. We would like to leave it to you." "Well, really, I'm not the man to decide that question; you see I've been a baseball umpire for the last ten years. Pe-ru-na Relieves Spring Catarrh. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN MISS DORA HAYDEN. "Without hesitation I write to thank you for the great relief I have found in your valuable medicine, Peruna, and will call the attention of all my friends suffering with catarrh to that fact. Besides I cheerfully recommend it to all suffering with catarrh in any form."—Miss Dora Hayden, 819 61h St., S. W., Washington, D. C. A Case of Spring Catarrh. Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 423% N. Broadway, Pittsburg, Kas., writes: "Last spring I caught a severe cold, which developed into a serious case of catarrh. I felt weak and sick, and could neither eat nor sleep well. "A member of our club who had been cured of catarrh through the use of Peruna advised me to try it, and I did so at once. I expected help, but nothing like the wonderful change for the better I observed almost as soon as I started talking it. In three days I felt much better, and within two weeks I was in fine health. Peruna is a wonderful medicine." The Dodging Period of a woman's life is the name often given to "change of life." Your menses come at long intervals, and grow scantier until they stop.

LIVE STOCK AND ELECTROTYPES In great variety for sale at the lowest prices by A. N. KELLOGG NEWSPAPER CO. 12 W. Adams St., Chicago IMPORTANT MEET GOVERNOR BUCHTEL CALLS GOV- ERNORS TO COLORADO. DATE SET FOR JUNE 18-20 Big Convention Will be Held for Purpose of Discussing Public Land Legislation. Denver. After receiving assurances of hearty support from a majority of governors of the western states and territories, a formal call has been issued from the governor's office for a convention to consider the public lands question. The call was signed by Acting Governor E. R. Harper, and the convention is to meet in Denver, June 18th-20th. United States Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado is made chairman of a program committee, which includes a senator and representative from each of the sixteen states and territories interested in the convention. Congressman Robert W. Bonynge is the associate of Senator Teller on the committee. This committee will, within the next ten days, prepare and issue a public address, in which will be outlined as fully as possible the purpose of the convention and what it hopes to accomplish. This address will be printed and distributed over the territory to be covered. Governor Henry A. Buchtel is chairman of a committee on arrangements which will have general charge of the preparations for the convention. The other members of the committee are Meyer Friedman, president of the chamber of commerce; John McDonough, Bulkeley Wells, W. F. R. Mills, J. L. Donahue and Fred P. Johnson. The call was prepared by a special committee appointed by Governor Buchtel some days ago. Four members of this committee, Meyer Friedman, Congressman Bonyynge, Fred P. Johnson and Arthur Williams, met with Acting Governor Harper and agreed upon the provisions of the call, which was then signed by Harper. It follows: Whereas, the government of the United States is the owner of large tracts of unoccupied lands within the western states and territories; and Whereas, under the compact made by the states when admitted to the Union, said lands cannot be taxed as long as they remain the property of the United States; and Whereas, the changing conditions in the western part of the country due to rapid settlement has seemed to render necessary certain changes in the disposition of these public lands; and Whereas, owing to the fact that these public lands constitute a large part of the area of the states west of the Missouri river, in some instances exceeding half the total area of the states; and Whereas, the enactment by Congress of new laws that will hinder the development and acquirement of title to these lands by citizens or the adoption of a policy contrary to that which has been in effect for so many years, which has recognized the right of the state to encourage settlement and development under the existing laws, might prove most disastrous to the prosperity of this section of the country; and Whereas, the Sixteenth General Assembly of the state of Colorado did adopt a resolution authorizing and directing the governor to invite the governors of other western states to join Colorado in holding a convention of representative citizens for the purpose of discussing the relation of the states to the public lands; and Whereas, a majority of the governors of the states west of the Missouri river having signified their approval of such convention, Now, therefore, by the authority conferred upon me by said resolution, I do hereby call a convention of representative citizens of all states and territories west of the Missouri river, to meet in the city of Denver, June 18, 19 and 20, 1907. Said convention to be composed of delegates to be appointed as follows: The governor of each state and territory to appoint ten delegates at large. Each chamber of commerce, board of trade, real estate exchange or commercial body may appoint five delegates. Each association of stock growers or lumbermen, and forestry, irrigation, horticultural or agricultural organization, may appoint five delegates. ·Travels Far to See Her Son. Totering on the brink of the grave, Mrs. Ellen Griffiths, eighty-five years old, traveled from Brazil, Iowa, to Eaton; Colorado, that she might once more see her son and for the first time in her life hug her grandchildren before she died. It has been more than twenty years since the aged mother had seen her boy, and when he met her at the station in Eaton she could scarcely recognize him. She knew the voice, but he had so changed in face and figure that it was some minutes before she became convinced that he was not a stranger. Thomas Lawton, a well-to-do farmer living near Eaton, is the son, and he paid his mother's passage from Brazil He met her at the station and quickly took her to his home. Last evening there was a celebration in the Lawton family when the aged woman gathered her grandchildren about her and was moved to tears of joy, her wish having been fulfilled afterwhat was to her the most perilous journey of her life. All day yesterday Mrs. Griffiths waited in the Union station in Denver for a train to Eaton. She arrived on the 7:30 Burlington in the morning and it was 5 p. m. before she left. During her stay at the depot she was in care of the matron, and her appearance excited considerable interest and curiosity. "I am old and feeble, my eyesight is bad, and I do not hear well, so the journey is full of dangers to me," she said. "I am afraid to travel, but I do so want to see my son again before I die that I decided to risk all dangers. "I haven't seen him for more than twenty years and I never laid eyes on the children. I was living with my nephew in Brazil, but my son sent for me and I decided to come." To convert the arid wastes of government land into beautiful groves of walnut trees at a cost that will be insignificant in proportion to value received in after years, is the plan of Mr. G. W. Roberts, a real estate dealer of Yankton, South Dakota. Mr. Roberts is in Denver on private business, but while here will try to interest the government officials in the project. For years Mr. Roberts has been experimenting with walnut trees and after investigating the scarcity of hard lumber, conceived a plan of supplying the world, at the same time creating beautiful parks all over the West. "I think all the reserve land of the state of Colorado can be planted in walnuts and in time will be worth millions of dollars," said Mr. Roberts. "This is no experiment with me, as I have planted two walnut groves within two and a half miles of Yankton, South Dakota. There to-day you will find a forest of beauty, and the same can be done by the United States for Colorado. Twenty years hence the timber will be worth more than you can estimate at this time." The method employed by Mr. Roberts for planting the walnuts was simple. Carrying a bucket of the nuts on his arm he would walk the length of the field, and dropping a nut would push it into the earth with his heel. Soon the forest grew, but twice they were destroyed by forest fires, only to come up again from the roots. Farmers in the vicinity of Yankton are becoming interested in the matter and are lending their aid in beautifying the South Dakota wastes. As soon as the success of these forests become known, Roberts believes, the "habit" will spread all over the West with the result that years hence the United States will be supplying the world with hard walnut timber. Mrs. Thaw to Help Denver College. Denver.—Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry Kendall Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, and herself a millionaire many times over, has given assurances that she will give $50,000 to the new Westminster University of Denver, which is designed to become the Princeton of the West, and has also assured those in charge of raising subscriptions for the college that if the drain on her fortune, occasioned by the Thaw trial, is not too great the amount will be made $200,000 inside of a year. That a portion of the Thaw fortune is to be diverted to educational uses in Colorado is the assurance that comes from the recently adjourned meeting of the Gunnison presbytery held at Salida, where announcement was made that Mrs. William Thaw had pledged herself to contribute $50,000 to the Westminster university. The generosity of the wealthy Pittsburgh woman, who takes time even in the great trouble that enfolds her to think of a means to help others, is the first noteworthy fruit of the campaign that is being made by the directors of the Westminster college for a $1,000,000 building maintenance and endowment fund. House Blown Up. Denver.—With a shock that shook the earth for blocks around, accompanied by a report that aroused all the residents in the neighborhood, accumulated gas in the residence of John Clapp, 179 West Cedar street, exploded Monday night, completely wrecking the house and setting fire to the debris. John Matz, son-in-law of Clapp, and Charles Frisby, a friend, were in the house at the time. Both were in the kitchen when the explosion occurred. Frisby was hurled through the rear door and buried in the wreckage, while Matz was thrown into an adjoining room. The clothes of both men caught fire, and before they could be extinguished they had sustained injuries that necessitated their removal to the county hospital. Frisby is progressing nicely, but Matz is in a serious condition. That Matz escaped incineration on the spot is regarded as almost miraculous. Convicts to Pave the Way. Warden John Cleghorn of the State Penitentiary is getting ready to place convicts at work upon the state road from the southern boundary line near Trinidad to the Wyoming line, under the act passed by the recent Legislature, appropriating $10,000 and authorizing the employment of the convicts. Convict camps will be established at several points along the southern route of the proposed road. Equipment is now being purchased for the work. The prisoners will be rigidly guarded during their labors as well as while at rest at night. The state engineer and the commissioners in the various counties through which the highway is to run will consult with reference to the rights of way. Fifty Persons Injured. New York.—Inside of five seconds the entire reserved seat section of Hargrave's circus collapsed and slid into the ring at White Plains Monday, burying 500 men, women and children in the wreck. Five persons were hurt, but almost through a miracle, Mrs. Sidney Bore, wife of a policeman, was the only one seriously injured. It was an hour before the people were all disentangled. Some were lying unconscious with seats piled on top of them and other spectators lying on top of the seats. The injured were attended to as fast as they were taken out by the ambulance surgeon. Fully fifty were slightly bruised and cut, but none, excepting Mrs. Bare, was hurt badly enough to go to a hospital. Fished Out Three Bables. Elgin, Ill.—While fishing in Fox river Stephen Boras hooked a bundle of clothing which he pulled ashore and found to contain the bodies of three infants, twin boys and a girl. Coroner Norton is of the opinion that the bodies may have been hurled from a passing train. The clothing found with them was of fine quality but had no marks. FOR THE DESSERT SOME CHANGES FROM THE ORDINARY DISHES. Riverside Marmalade Made With Oranges and Lemons—Fig Pudding That Will Keep Well—Try Riverside Marmalade.—Firm fruit of medium size, preferably Washington navels, are best for this attractive-looking marmalade. With a very sharp knife slice off the thick ends of six oranges and two lemons, and then cut in halves longitudinally. This is easily done by resting the flat side of the fruit on a board, holding it firm with one hand and slicing with the other, making half circle pieces, which look pretty in the finished product. Cover with two quarts cold water and let stand over night. In the morning bring to a boil, cook 40 minutes, then add five pounds sugar well heated in the oven, and boil rapidly 20 minutes longer. If the oranges are very ripe the juice of two more oranges and six lemons is an improvement. Orange Fritters.—Beat the yoke of four eggs with four tablespoonfuls sugar until lemon-colored and thick. Stir into this the juice of a half lemon and flour to thicken like batter. Add the stiffly beaten whites and dip in one slice of orange at a time. Take up with a large kitchen spoon, and fry a golden brown in butter or drippings. Sprinkle pulverized sugar on top if you are going to serve them as a special course. Where they are served with broiled ham lessen the amount of sugar put into the batter and omit sprinkling the outside. Fig Pudding.—This pudding is a great emergency dessert on an Arizona ranch. You can make quite a bit of it, and it will keep indefinitely, steaming up a little as needed. Chop fine one pound figs, one pound raisins and one cup suet. Add one teaspoonful cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful cloves, one cup sugar, one cup sweet milk, one-half teaspoonful salt, one pint grated crumbs and three wen-beaten eggs. Mix well and steam three hours. Delmonico Pudding.—Put one quart of milk in a double boiler and let come almost to the boiling point. Beat yolks of five eggs light, add six tablespoonfuls sugar and beat again until exceedingly light. Mix three tablespoonfuls cornstarch with a little cold milk. Add to the eggs and sugar, and stir into the hot milk just as it is about to boil. Add a salt spoonful salt then stir until well thickened. Pour into a dish that can be sent to the table and stand in the oven for ten or 15 minutes until firm. Remove and spread over the pudding a layer of canned apricots or other fruit. Beat the whites to a stiff froth, allowing one tablespoonful pulverized sugar to each egg. Spread lightly over the top and put into a coolish oven to color a golden brown. Fruit Foam. Whip the whites of six eggs with three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar until the mixture has attained the consistency of a stiff froth. Then add, little by little, three or four tablespoonfuls of home-made jelly and serve as soon as possible. To Prevent Dust from Flying. To prevent dust from flying when sweeping use salt or Indian meal.

My heart was weak and my hands colorless, I was troubled with indigestion and yomiting spells, which came on every few months.

My head ached continuously for five years. “About two years ago I began to foel rheumatism in my joints, which became so lame Icould hardly walk, | My joints ‘were swollen and pained me terribly. “Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills were rec- ommended to mo by a friend, after I had failed to get_well from the doctor's treatment. When I began taking the pills, the Theumatism was at ite worst. ‘Thad taken only a few boxes, when the headaches stopped and not long after- Ward I felt the pain in my joints be- coming less and less, antil there was Bono at all. Tho stiffness was gone and Thavo never had any return of the rheu- matism.”?
