THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WashingtonD.C. A Home Building for the Colored Y. M. C. A. is Assured. The Success of the Record-Breaking Campaign a Most Valuable Object Lesson. VOL. XIII, Washing A Home Building for the Colo Success of the Record-B Valuable O Special to Colorado Statesman: The thirty-day campaign for a fund of $25,000 to meet the conditional gift of a similar amount from Mr. John D. Rockefeller, towards the building and equipment of a colored Y. M. C. A. home in this city, came to a glorious close on the 7th inst. Altogether the total of subscriptions up to the close of business on that date, footed the magnificent sum of $30,530. Although the time has expired which was set for the accomplishment of this task, the actual work of a canvass in no sense been abandoned and it is probable that a good many thousands more will be made available before the actual expiration of the time named by Mr. Rockefeller, June 1st. Among the latest subscriptions acknowledged, is that from the Association at Buxton, Iowa of $100, secured through Mr. J. E. Johnson the local secretary, who was formerly engaged in the work at that point. The organization and prosecution of the marvelous campaign just completed, which I am informed is without precedent in the history of association work, furnishes an object lesson of the capacity, ability and initiative of Negro men which should go far towards silencing detractors and carping cirtics and instill a more general pride of race as well as a more faithful and generous support of racial institutions. Naturally the officers and active leaders in the work just accomplished, feel very geatly elated at their success, for certainly no set of men ever had greater cause for a happy frame of mind, on account of the success of a purely business proposition. The more we think of it the more does the truth of this last statement impress us. More that $30,000 raised by popular subscription among the Negro citizens of Washington in thirty days. Shades of Caesar! Who would have thought it? But Rev. J. A. Moorland, the General Secretary told me himself just a few hours ago that this is the fact and so I know it's true, for he couldn't purposely make a misleading statement if he tried, at least that is my opinion. In talking with this gentleman --- and Mr. Johnson concerning the monumental character of such an achievement for Washington I was at once made to realize that the key-note of their success lay in the fact that they had divorced sentiment from business and had dealt with a business proposition in a purely methodic and business way. The want of this essential element is probably responsible for the fact that Washington, with excellent reasons too, is looked upon as a veritable grave-yard for Negro business enterprises. In each of several cases whose individual history lends force to this statement, the underlying cause of failure and consequent disgrace, has been the senseless employment of unscrupulous and incompetent persons on account of purely social and sentimental reasons. These mushroom affairs have disclosed themselves into a sort of skin-tight monopoly, operating for the benefit of a chosen few, who are entirely out of touch with the average Negro, except as he may be useful and "worked" to good advantage. It is probable however, that the folly of this idea is now thoroughly realized and the hope may be reasonably entertained that future combinations of Negro brain and capital in the District, for commercial enterprise, may have their origin, in the highest and most nonorable ideals and their development along the pathway of practical, conservative and legitimate methods. By this route alone may the ultimate commercial independence of the Negro be attained. When it is understood that such an independence is an essential factor in the adequate and general recognition of the civic equality of Negro manhood, its importance must and will be also recognized. The accomplishment of this mammoth undertaking by the men of the District, under the splendid generalship of Messrs Moreland and Johnson, should be in all ways of incalculable benefit to the large Negro population of this vicinity. The success of this effort is in the nature both of an assertion and a refutation. It emphatically asserts that the Negro can and will do things, under worthy leadership. It distinctly refutes an idea which his enemies seek to impress, that he is nothing more than an element of disturbance and a drone in an advancing civilization. It will encourage the rank and file of Negroes everywhere, for too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that all classes and conditions the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the professional and the day-labourer, have all had an honorable part in providing the means for this temple, which shall stand for and emphasize the strong desire of our Negro brethren for the most perfect physical, moral and spiritual growth. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The Negro organization, "Elks of the World," of Louisville, has filed suit in the Franklin, Ky., Circuit court to require Secretary of State McChesney to file their charter in the state department, which he has refused to do. Antonio Infante, a Negro, died April 23d, at Santiago, Cuba, who is said to have been 150 years old. Despite his great age, the greatest record in modern times, he retained all his faculties unimpaired to the end. He was born in 1757, nineteen years before the beginning of the American revolution. Miguel Niedan, a Filipino student of the Illinois State Normal school, won first prize in an oratorical contest at Kansas City, on the 4th of May, in which five states took part. The contestants were all white boys, but this brown lad from far-away and maglined Manila, put them under his feet. If this inferiority, let us have more inferiority. Pittsburg, Pa., May 8.—Oakdale, a little town fifteen miles from Pittsburg, is in the midst of a mild race way. Ray Wcote, Negro member of the graduating class of the High school there has just made the highest percent in the class of thirteen, and of course he has been named valedictorian. The twelve other graduates, all white, announce that they will not take part in the commencement exercises if the Negro be allowed to shine over them, and the faculty declares that any one not taking part in the exercises will go without a diploma. Los Angeles, May 6.—Mayor Harper would abolish race discrimination in public places, and at his behest the City Council made an effort in that direction this evening. The Mayor submitted a special message on the subject, suggesting an ordinance making it a misdemeanor, with a jail sentence penalty, to display in a saloon, theater or restaurant signs that Negroes shall not be served. The ordinance was passed. Tomorrow the Negroes will make it hot for saloonkeepers who have heretofore barred them. They declare to-night they will fairly swamp the hostile bars, and trouble is feared. Several theaters and many restaurants are affected. A test of the ordinance will probably result. Dearing, Ga., May 7.—Charles Harris, a Negro farm hand, who yesterday, shot and dangerously wounded Hayden Pearson, a prominent farmer, was lynched last night by a mob of about forty unmasked men. His body was riddled with bullets. The mob then visited the Negro' home, severely whipped members of his family and gave them a brief time in which to get out of McBuffie county. Pearson who lives near this place, was remonstrating with the Negro about poor work done on his farm, when Harris drew a revolver and fired several shots into his body. Pearson probably will die. Fort Worth, Tex., May 9.—Reports from Big Springs indicate a clash between citizens over an effort to run all Negroes out of Howard county. When a deputy marshal was killed while raiding a Negro join, notice was given the colored people to leave. Those with property were given fifteen days, those without property were required to leave between two suns. The fifteen days' limit is about to expire, and a circular has been distributed, signed by citizens, asking those with property to remain and pledging them protection. Citizens commanding them to depart declare that they must comply and the town is divided into two bitter factions Edna, Texas, May 4.—Arthur Powell, a brother of Felix Powell, the Negro who was hanged in victoria a short time ago for the murder of the Conditt family at this place was killed by Sheriff A. C. Egg. There has been some discontent among the Powell Negroes ever since Felix Powell was confined in jail. Arthur Powell and his father-in-law, George Alexander, a respectable old-time Negro, came to town together, and Alexander told the sheriff that Arthur Powell had said he was going to kill him for hanging Felix Powell, and that Arthur had brought his gun and ammunition along with him, and was then in town. Sheriff Egg and deputies went in search of the Negro and walked upon him in J. H. Kopp's grocery store. Sheriff Egg walked in at the side entrance. Arthur was sitting on a sugar barrel near the middle of the of the house. When the sheriff approached, Powell whirled around facing him and as he did so Sheriff Egg shot him. Six shots were fired from an automatic rifle, and all took effect, the Negro dying instantly. The Negro's gun, a double-barrel shotgun, was lying close at hand, and he had 15 loaded shells in his pockets and a full box in his wagon. Sheriff Egg walked directly to the court house and informed County Attorney McCrory and County Judge Guy Mitchell of the circumstances. JAMESTOWN NOTES. There is absolutely no discrimination between the races on the elegant steamboats playing between Norfolk and the exposition grounds. R. P. Anderson, an expert wood carver, whose beautiful and original designs have made him much sought after by the best manufacturing firms of the East, and John G. Trusty, a practical engineer, who builds his own dynamos for the operation of his machinery, will assist in letting the world know that Wilmington, Deleware, is still on the map. Massachusetts will have a prominent part in the exposition. Besides the imposing replica of the famous Crispus Attucks monument, the exhibit will embrace paintings by Edwin Bannister, who won first prize at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876, Wm Robinson and a number of other colored artists of national repute. There will be also a display of books by the representative writers of the "Old Bay State." Walter Smith, inventor of a device that will prevent a train from wrecking when it crashes into an open switch will place it on exhibition in the Negro building. Two-thirds of the railroad wrecks are caused by a switch being left open. Mr. Smith's device is said to be the only "sure thing" ever invented to prevent wrecks of this kind. It is so constructed that when a train runs into an open switch, at any rate of speed, it will close and lock it. Mr. Smith was reared in Topeka, Kansas, and is a born genius. The Toussaint-Dumas and Palmer hotels are the names of two well-ordered homes for visitors opened for business this week. Tanner's hotel, an established hostelry, favorably known to the traveling public, has largely increased its normal capacity. Innumerable buildings not heretofore utilized as lodging places, together with a long list of private residences will afford ample accommodation for all visitors who may come to the ex- NO. 34 position at that time. L. W. Bright's new Mt. Vernon hotel is going up with all possible speed, and his enlarged cottage-by-the-sea will soon be in readiness for special guests. In and about "Tidewater" section there are fully twenty-five comfortable hotels at which our people may be handsomely entertained. Tth National Baptist Publishing Board, which is under the direct control of the National Baptist convention, located in Nashville, will have a special exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition. This institution is the largest printing plant and book binding establishment owned and operated by Negroes in the world. They now occupy six buildings, as follows: three two-story, four two-story, and two one story buildings, situated at the corner of Locust and Second avenue, North. They employ several hundred skilled workmen, and can produce everything in the printing line, from a calling-card to an encyclopedia. The founder of this institution, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., who is at present secretary, treasurer and manager, will be at the exposition grounds in Norfolk this week to arrange for the big exhibit. The display to be made by this stupendous publishing plant will be the official exhibit of the Negro Baptists of the United States, numbering something over 2,300,000. The institution is only eleven years old, yet last year's business amounted up to and over $152,000. They propose to show the high class books and periodical work that has been made by their employees, and to demonstrate through a tangible exhibit the marvelous progress of the race in the higher realms of the "art preservative of all arts." HONORS FOR NEGRO. Lincoln, Neb., May 6.—The great inter-collegiate debate held in this city last Friday night between Nebrasba Wisconsin Universities presented a great opportunity for the Afro-American that was improved to the fullest. When the Wisconsin party alighted from their Pullman all eyes were on Marshall, who was driven to the best hotel in the city where he put up. Friday night the hall was packed with 1500 people. There were a brass band, orchestra; a quartet and Bryan. Marshall's oratory completely captured the great crowd and it was fully three minutes before the applause subsided after he had finished. Mr. Bryan, as did hundreds of others, declared that Marshall's speech was the finest ever heard in Nebraska. Led by Mr. Bryan, the gentlemen and their wives and daughters passed forward to grasp the hand of the most brilliant Afro American orator in the Northwest, Eugene J. Marshall. ```markdown ``` The Uzonized Ox Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charlie Forre Past 153 E. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, ILL. Agents wanted everywhere. L.

SUPREME COURT ENDS CASE Progress of Agricultural Develop- ments Along the Arkansas River No Longer Hindered. Washington.—The somewhat famous case of the state of Kansas against the state of Colorado, by which the former sought to have the latter enjoined from diverting the waters of the Arkansas river for irrigation purposes, or permitting its citizens to do so, was dismissed by the Supreme Court of the United States. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington in the famous Colorado-Kansas water suit. The decision of the highest tribunal in the land is a sweeping victory for Colorado, and all litigation which has been dragging through the courts for years, and which has cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars, has been disposed of. While the suit was pending irrigation projects which had been planned, involving the expenditure of millions of dollars, were tied up; land investments along the Arkansas river had received a blow and much valuable land which had been placed under water by the investment of vast sums of money already expended by ditch companies were in jeopardy. Now that Colorado has won, irrigation and land projects will receive a new impetus, and it is stated by several attorneys that thousands, if not millions, of dollars will soon be invested in the valley along the Arkansas river, where there has been little activity for so long. Attorney Platt Rogers, who was engaged in the case, in the interests of Colorado, and is probably as familiar with it as any man in the state, said: "When the suit was brought by Kansas some irrigation projects were prevented from being properly exploited and investments in the territory involved were practically at a standstill. As the suit went on, however, less and less regard was paid to it and many investors went ahead with their plans. There were, however, many timid investors who will now be able to proceed without fear of being affected by litigation." Irrigation Boom On. It is stated at the state engineer's office in Denver that there was never more activity in irrigation projects in Colorado than at the present time. Investors seemed to feel confident that the findings of the Supreme Court in the big suit would be in Colorado's favor, and as a result, it is said, applications for irrigation and reservoir sites are being filed at the rate of twenty per day. The Colorado-Kansas controversy, when it was first raised by the state of Kansas, excited more interest in legal and scientific circles probably than any suit that has ever been in the United States Supreme Court. The most learned and expert legal talent of the two states were engaged in fighting the case through its various steps and the expense to the two states, which, under the decision, each pays their individual costs, will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. A brief history of the suit from its beginning, as detailed by Attorney Platt Rogers, follows: "Just seven years to the day have passed from the beginning of the suit, until the final settlement. On May 13, 1901, the state of Kansas made application to the United States Supreme Court for leave to file a bill of complaint against the state of Colorado. On May 20, 1901, leave was granted and on the same day the complaint was filed. The complaint set forth that the state of Colorado and owners of ditches in the state of Colorado along the Arkansas river were so diverting the waters of that river that the river no longer flowed into the state of Kansas and that thereby Kansas lands were injured principally by a lowering of the so-called underflow lying under the entire valley, which in turn deprived crops raised in the valley lands of sub-irrigation, the advantage of which they had formerly enjoyed. Various other elements of injury were alleged, but these were practically lost sight of in the progress of the case. "October 15, 1901, the state of Colorado filed its demurrer, together with briefs in support of same, in answer to which briefs were filed by the state of Kansas, and on February 24, 1902, the demurrer was orally argued in Washington. These arguments were particularly able and eloquent. Colorado's contentions were argued by Luther M. Goddard, now a State Supreme Court justice; Platt Rogers, and for- Map of San Cristobal Quadrangle. A map of the San Cristobal quadrangle, Colorado, which embraces an area of about 944 square miles and comprises portions of Hinsdale, Mineral, La Plata and San Juan counties, has recently been published by the United States Geological Survey. This area is one of the most highly elevated regions recently surveyed by the government. It ranges in altitude from about 8,100 feet to 14,500 feet above sea level and only a very small part of it is below 9,000 feet. The Continental divide extends entirely across the sheet twice in an east and west direction, swinging around the head of the Rio Grande, the source of which is a short distance beyond the western boundary of this area. There are a few mining settlements in the northwest part of the quadrangle and a number of hay ranches in the lower valleys, but the greater part of the area is uninhabited and contains some of the most rugged mountain country to be found in the United States. Portions of the San Juan and Cochetopa national forests are included in the quadrangle. Numerous mountain lakes are found in this quadrangle and from one of these the quadrangle takes its name. Some of these lakes are especially beautiful. Deer and mountain sheep are quite numerous and the streams abound in trout. mer Governor.Charles S. Thomas, Kansas was represented by A. A. Goddard, its attorney general, and E. F. Ware, a brilliant attorney, and a poet known as "Ironquill." April 7, 1902, the court overruled the demurrer without going into the merits of the controversy, the court being of the opinion that in a case of this importance all facts should be before it before it passed upon mere questions of law. "November 31, 1902, the state of Colorado filed its answer in which it denied that the state itself diverted or intended to divert any waters, and justified the diversion by individuals in the state by the doctrine of appropriation for beneficial uses, which it claimed had always prevailed as a principle of law in the arid West, including western Kansas. It was also claimed that if any injury had been suffered by Kansas as a result of the diversion of the waters of the Arkansas that they had not been caused by any diversion in the state of Colorado; also denied any injury to the state of Kansas or its people. "On June 1, 1903, Kansas asked leave to file an amended bill of complaint and to make additional parties, namely, several Colorado ditch companies, parties defendant. Granted." "August 17, 1903, the amended bill was filed, October 14, 1903, Colorado filed its answer to the amended bill which answer followed the original lines. At the same time parties defendant filed their answers. Publication to the answer was filed by Kansas March 7, 1904. "March 14, 1904, the United States, by its attorney general, moved the court to intervene, stating that a determination of the case would affect the public domain and the administration of several acts of Congress, most important of which was the reclamation act, and that the general welfare of the people of the United States would be affected. On the same day the state of Colorado moved to dismiss bill of complaint, and the motion was never disposed of, being reserved for final hearing. "March 21, 1904, the United States was allowed to file petition of intervention, which was presented to the court two days later. The court then appointed Granville A. Richardson of New Mexico as special commissioner to take testimony in the case and report the same to the court. The commissioner began the taking of testimony in Wichita, Kansas, August 15, 1904, continuing it from time to time in various places in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and at Washington. The taking of testimony was not closed until June 15, 1905. On the return of the commissioner the court appointed the 9th day of October, 1906, for the hearing of the arguments on the entire case as submitted. Owing to a vacancy in the Supreme Court the case was then postponed until December 17, 1906, when it was argued for Kansas by S. S. Ashbaugh, N. H. Loomis, F. Dumont Smith and C. C. Coleman, attorney general. Colorado's case was argued by Clyde Dawson, D. C. Beaman, Platt Rogers, Joel F. Vail and Attorney General N. C. Miller. The United States as intervenor was represented by Solleitor General Hoy, who was assisted by A. C. Campbell and Frank J. Campbell. The arguments required three full days, when the case was taken under advisement. The decision of the court handed down was not unexpected by those who followed the case closely." The matter was of such serious import to the state of Colorado that every citizen seemed to take an interest and there was no difficulty in securing sufficient evidence to prove that the state of Kansas had suffered no real damage. About two years ago, when severe floods occurred in many towns along the Arkansas river in Kansas, some of the Colorado lawyers suggested to Kansas that it withdraw the suit, as the river was giving more water than could be handled by the state. This suggestion was, of course, not petted upon. Justice Brewer, who rendered the decision, is a Kansas man, and, it is presumed, would give the state of Kansas all that was coming to it. Denver lawyers interested in the suit say that they do not understand how Kansas can have any rights in the case at all at the present time. The dispatcher from Washington announcing the decision say that the suit is dismissed without prejudice to Kansas and that Kansas has the right to serve its petition whenever it can be shown that the state is being substantially injured. The fact that the suit was based upon the assertion that an actual and substantial injury occurred, which assertion was disproved, seems to have disposed of the cause in its entirety, and left the state of Kansas "without a leg to stand on," as the lawyers say. D. C. Beaman says that he thinks that some error has crept into the first reports, as he don't see how Kansas can have any privileges in the matter at all, having failed to prove that any substantial injury had occurred. Six Reasons for Wanting to Die. Chicago.—Six reasons why he killed himself were given by Beaufort L. Leeds, a guest of the Warner hotel, who was found dead in his room, having committed suicide by taking strychnine. The reasons were as follows: First—I have been dissatisfied since I was a child. Second—I have been handicapped throughout life with deformed feet. Third—One side of my body has been partly paralyzed for the past ten years. Fourth—My right hand has been ruined by an accident. Fifth-1 have been a sufferer from neuralgia. Sixth—I have been up against a score of financial misfortunes. Leeds, who, it is supposed, is a chemist, left a letter addressed to Miss Blanche Keller, Swanton, Ohio, and it is believed his home was at that place. He was about 30 years old. Western Railroads to Raise Rates. Chicago—Western roads will advance rates on grain and grain products from the Missouri river to the Mississippi river and Chicago $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cents per 100 pounds on July 1st. This is in practical defiance of the action of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Hygienic Ice & Cold Storage Company at Boulder sold its plant and businessss to the Hygienic Ice & Coal Company. After working and saving seven years to get a ranch of their own, Nettie Whitlow, wife of John Whitlow, a well-known citizens, died at Eaton. Their three-weeks-old baby died a few hours later. The coroner's jury which investigated the cause of the death of William Mikalsky at Lafayette, returned a verdict in which the Burlington railroad is censured for furnishing coal cars with defective brakes. Three thousand copies of the annual report of the Health Department of Colorado Springs are being published and will be sent broadcast over the country as an advertisement for that city. Editions will be sent to English, German and French cities. Returning home at night, John Dorothey, an employee on the Redland ditch, near Grand Junction, was waylaid by three hobos, beaten up and robbed of $8. He lay beside the railroad track from 8 o'clock at night until 4 o'clock in the morning, unconscious. Pleading guilty to watering the milk which he sold to customers, James Ryan, proprietor of the Grand View dairy at Colorado Springs, was fined $5 and costs. He gave, in extenuation, the fact that fifteen of his cows were lost and that he "stretched" the milk to make it go around. Allen Coulson, aged thirteen, son of Edward Coulson, a prominent resident at Grand Junction, lost a thumb and three fingers and may lose the sight of his right eye as the result of picking at a dynamite cap. His face was filled with fragments of the cap, many of which lodged in his right eye. He is in a serious condition. John Gray of Perry Park, thirteen miles south of Castle Rock, was arrested on charges of selling liquor on Sunday, waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the next term of the District Court. The Complaint was sworn out by a woman. This is the first move in a campaign to stop the boot-legging of whisky in this county. Word has been received at Colorado Springs of the death of W. D. Laing at Great Bend, Kansas. Laing formerly resided in Colorado Springs and for years lived at Green Mountain Falls. He was a ploneer of the county and was well known as an employee in the Denver & Rio Grande baggage room for a number of years. He was eighty years old. One of the largest funerals ever held in Denver was that of Mrs. Antonio Notary, which took place at the residence of her son, M. Notary, 2237 Stout street. Mrs. Notary was eighty-seven years of age and had lived in Denver twenty-one years. Burial was at Riverside cemetery. It required eighty-seven carriages and two street cars to convey the friends to the cemetery. The subject of freight rates was taken up at a meeting of the Merchants' Association at Colorado Springs and a committee was appointed to endeavor to secure a more satisfactory schedule of freight rates for Colorado points. The charge was made that Colorado Springs was discriminated against in this respect, and the matter was gone into thoroughly. Sam Columbo, a miner at Berwind, ten miles north of Trinidad, was electrocuted. He was going off shift, carrying a can of hot water on his head, when the can touched an overhead trolley wire of the mine tramway, and the powerful current killed him. The coroner decided that the death was the result of the miner's own carelessness. Columbo was twenty-two years old and single. Harry Roberts was burned fearfully about the face at the Minnequa plant of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at Pueblo, and is now in the hospital, although it is believed he will not be permanently injured. Roger was looking through the oil plant, and in order to see how much oil there was in a tank pushed a lighted torch in front of him into the tank. The gas generated from the oil exploded. After being involved in litigation for over two years, Mrs. Franklin W, Galnes of Grand Junction, has come into possession of her share of the million-dollar estate left her by her father, Dr. E. F. Lowe, a prominent and wealthy planter of Crystal City, Mississippi. Four children participated in the distribution of the property, and Mrs. Galnes received one-fourth interest. The Santa Fe is now compiling arrangements for erecting a $50,000 hospital at La Junta. The structure is to be built of cream-colored pressed brick trimmed with white stone and located near the old hospital. Inclined planes will be used instead of stairways. This plan is taken from the famous C. F. & I hospital at Pueblo. When completed the building will be one of the finest in La Junta. Zelda Gedney, a thirteen-year-old Colorado City girl, whom P. C. Dockstader is accused of criminally assaulting, sprang a surprise during the trial of the case in the District Court by announcing from the witness stand that she had nothing to say on the subject. "Why not?" asked District Attorney Trowbridge. "Because I might incriminate myself," answered the child. Although no definite announcement has been made, it is authentically reported that a $60,000 girls' dormitory will be built soon as an addition to Colorado College. The building will probably be named after Mrs. J. M. Bemis, who will furnish a large part of the funds. Official announcement of this, as well as other contemplated improvements, will be made by President Slocum commencement day. Victor F. Brown, pastor of a Congregational church in Wisconsin, has accepted the call to the Pilgrim Congregational church at Pueblo and will arrive with his wife and little daughter on July 1st. Mr. Brown is thirty-eight years old and has been in the ministry for sixteen years. He is said to be a good speaker and an excellent organizer. He succeeds Rev. J. F. Bruno, who goes to Colorado Springs to take charge of the work of the Associated Charities. Dealer in Coal and Stone Red Flagstone a Specialty. THE N. & W. LIQUOR CO.

One cool day last June, just after the public bathhouses had been opened, a boy of ten or twelve years came into school with his hair very wet. The teacher at once surmised that he had been indulging in a bath, and asked him about it. He admitted the fact. "Weren't you afraid you'd take cold?" she asked. "No, ma'am, the water is filtered." —Philadelphia Ledger. THE BEST ICE CREAM AND CANDIES AT CATERERS and CONFECTIONERS PHONE 188.

Denver.—The appointment of a "dummy" judge of the Juvenile Court, the same to hold his position until the Juvenile Court law enacted by the Sixteenth General Assembly has been tested by the courts, and then to resign his position in favor of Judge Ben B. Lindsey in case the law is declared valid, is the unusual expedient which has been determined upon by those interested in the new law. A part of the plan is to secure the resignation of the "dummy" judge before he is appointed, or at least secure from him a definite agreement that he will resign in favor of Judge Lindsey. Like the famous Peabody resignation, this will be placed in the hands of a reliable third party, who can be depended upon to see that its terms are carried out. This plan has been decided upon to meet the emergency caused by the discovery that the Juvenile Court bill has been doctored in its passage from the Senate to the House, and the irregularities are such as to create a doubt as to the validity of the law. While the bill was being considered in the Senate an attempt was made on the part of Judge Lindsey's friends to secure the adoption of an amendment making the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court co-ordinate with that of the District Court, thus providing for appeals direct to the Supreme Court. It was understood that when the Juvenile Court was established as a separate institution under the law, that Judge Lindsey was to preside over it, and that another judge would be appointed for the County Court. Under the present conditions Judge Lindsey does not wish to relinquish his office for an uncertainty. Say What Crop Will Be Short. Omaha.—A special train, with a committee of fifty members of the Omaha Grain Exchange, which has been making a tour of investigation of the Nebraska and Kansas wheat fields, has returned. Wheat, especially in the southeastern portion of Nebraska, has suffered about ten per cent. from green bugs and continued drought. Sumner county, Kansas, will not make over forty per cent. The bugs have done great damage to the fields which were examined. Some members declare the entire crop ruined between Caldwell, Kansas, and the Oklahoma line, and Wichita, a distance of fifty miles. The party agrees that the yield of wheat this year will be very light as compared with former years. "We find wheat in mighty bad condition." The party covered the districts of Kansas and Nebraska which have in the past always raised bumper crops, going as far south as the Oklahoma state line. Clark is Indicted Again. E. N. Clark, the Denver & Rio Grande attorney, who was indicted by the federal grand jury at Salt Lake on the charge of filing the names of dummy entrymen in order to acquire possession of the coal lands for the benefit of the railroad company, appeared before United States Commissioner Hinsdale and gave bonds in the sum of $3,000 for his appearance at the November term of the Utah federal court, when the Utah coal land frauds are to come up for a hearing. Clark was indicted on April 22d for the second time, the first indictment against him being defective, the new papers were drawn up. The charge in the warrant sworn out for his arrest after the indictment was for "conspiracy to defraud the government out of coal lands." The government officials permitted him to give bonds here as a matter of convenience and to save him the trouble of going to Salt Lake for appearance. Bold Robbery at Florence. Florence, Colo.—Robbers dynamited the safe in the Williamsburg postoffice, which is located in the same building as the A. P. Easton grocery and general merchandise store. Two hundred dollars in cash and a number of valuable papers were taken, together with a quantity of postage stamps. T. W. Morgan, the postmaster, who sleeps in an adjoining house, heard a rumbling noise and was thrown from bed by the explosion. Before he could get to the scene the burglar had escaped by the rear door. The door of the safe was blown from its hinges and thrown six feet, striking the door of a booth used in the store in the clothing department, entirely demolishing the booth and also a stove which stood ten feet from the safe. No clew of the perpetrators of the act have been found, but Sheriff Esser has been called upon to furnish bloodhounds to take the trail of the criminals. Mineral Farm Reopens. Ourray, Colo.—The work of overhauling and remodelling Mineral Farm mill has begun. The mill, which consists of twenty stamps, has lain idle for several years. The management expects to have it running within the next sixty days. At the mine where a level is being driven below the blanket vein an immense tonnage of ore is being blocked out. Aa a depth of 200 feet the Carbon Lake mine on Red mountain reports five to seven feet of black copper ore running twenty-five per cent. to forty-six per cent, with good values in gold and silver. In the level above three to five feet of the same character of ore was found to continue for a distance of seventy-five feet along the vein. At Least One Busy Day. Springfield, Ill.—A wild orgy marked the closing session of the Illinois Legislature. Wine and beer were guzzled by the lawmakers from tint dipers and cups. The all-night session of the Legislature is likely to create one of the biggest scandals in the history of Illinois. During the twenty hours the House was in session Saturday and Sunday morning 111 bills were passed. Beer and whisky flowed like water in the cloak and committee rooms. 37 LIVES LOST AWFUL WRECK HURL8 TRAIN- LOAD OF SHRINERS INTO ETERNITY. "SONG OF THE OPEN SWITCH" Southern Pacific Passenger Train Making Sixty Miles an Hour Dashes Into Open Switch and Wrecks. Santa Barbara, Cal.—Thirty-seven known dead, with the probability that the list will be increased still more, was the result of the wreck of the special train crowded with Shriners on the Southern Pacific railroad, Sunday, May 12th. While hurrying northward over the Coast Line, homeward bound after a week of fraternizing and fiesta in Los Angeles, 145 Shriners of Ishmalia Temple of Buffalo, and Rajah Temple, of Reading, with their families and friends, were hurled into the midst of death when their train, running fifty miles an hour, struck a defective switch at Honda, a lonely station on the sand wastes of the Pacific beach, derailing the train, smashing the coaches into flinders, killing thirty-five almost instantly and injuring more than a score of others. The bodies of twenty-five lie in the morgues of Santa Barbara, and ten more are at San Luis Obispo. The injured, many of whom are terribly hurt and probably die, are in two sanitaries at San Luis Obispo. List of the Dead. The dead at Santa Barbara are as follows: J. Douglas Hipple, Reading, Pa. H. K. Grittleman, Reading. A. L. Roth, Reading. J. W. Cutter, Binghamton, N. Y. Charles M. Lowing, Pullman conductor, Buffalo. S. A. Bickford, brakeman, San Francisco. C. W. Austin, New York, agent for McCann's Tourist Co., New York. John Lacey, negro dining car waiter. R. W. Sweeney, negro dining car waiter. Mrs. William W. Essick, Reading. Mrs. John W. Cutter, Binghamton. Mrs. Henry J. Fisher, Cleveland. Miss Cora Young, Cleveland. Charles S. Henry, Lebanon, Pa. Mr. Bramback, Reading. Mrs. Brumbache. George D. Hagenman, Reading. Benjamin Stoltz, Reading. Mrs. Stoltz. Alonzo B. Rogers, St. Paul, Pullman conductor. Unidentified woman probably Mrs Mary C. Colvins, Reading. Two unidentified bodies. The injured at San Luis Obispo are: R. Fountain, brakeman, missing last night, was taken to San Luis Obispo to-day. His back is injured and the lower part of his body paralyzed. He crawled 100 yards to flag the second section of the train. W. H. Boyd of Reading, Pa., badly scalded. Martin L. Henry of Shamokin, Pa. injured spline and severely scalded. H. R. Lee, Orwigsburg, Pa., face lacerated, both hips cut, and fractured leg. J. Logan, Buffalo, N. Y., leg fractured and three ribs broken. H. A. Hartsel, former mayor of Easton, Pa., severely scalded and fractured leg. Charles McKinney, Binghamton, N. Y., back injured. Mrs. McKinney, severely bruised about the body. Mrs. Fred Grummond, Binghamton, N. Y., ankle broken. A. W. Hopple, Bennis Point, N. Y., severely bruised about neck. Engineer Champlaine, badly scalded. Fireman Glen Thompson, face, arms and internal injuries. Mrs. Hendei and daughter Helen, Reading, Pa., not serious. J. Galvin Huffedipiz, Reading, Pa., left leg fractured, scalp wound. Mrs. Snyder, Reading, Pa., burned about body and face. Mr. Moyer, Hazelton, Pa., burned. Mrs. Harrison Hendle, Reading, Pa., shoulder dislocated. Miss Hendle, her daughter, arm broken. The wreck occurred one hour and forty-five minutes after the conclave visitors, forming a merry party, had spent all the morning sightseeing in Santa Barbara. The statement that the train was making terrific speed when it struck the defective track is borne out by the fact that it covered the sixty-one miles of curves and crooked track between here and Honda in exactly one hundred minutes. The special plunged upon the defective switch and in an instant the big locomotive, baggage car, diner and Pullman coupled with it were hurled together in a huge heap of wreckage. The engine shot forward on the broken track, tearing up the rails and ties and twisting the huge iron spans into fish-hooks. The baggage car half buried itself in the sand on the right side of the locomotive. It was smashed almost to kindling wood. The dining car, in which were thirty two people, leaped into the air and was thrown directly on top of the demolished locomotive. Nearly every person in this coach was instantly killed. Scores were scaled by steam from disconnected pipes in the diner. More Money In Dirt Boulder, Colo.-Dr. Sanford Bell, professor of education at the University of Colorado, has resigned to enter the real estate business in Denver. Besides this work Dr. Bell is to become managing editor of the Rocky Mountain Educator. Dr. Bell has been connected with the University for four years. His successor is Prof. Herbert T. J. Coleman. ALL PARTS OF COLORADO BENE FITED. The Movement on Foot to Boost Colo Colorado Will Be General. Denver.—If the $100,000 advertising fund now being raised to boom Colorado is used wisely to secure settlers for the agricultural lands of the state, it will bring results that will benefit every part of the state and will build Denver as nothing else would. This is the opinion of John Clay of Chicago, who is in Denver for a few days on business. Mr. Clay is one of the successful business men of the country. He has been identified with the live stock business in the West for about thirty-three years and is the head of the firm of Clay, Robinson Co., which has branch houses all over the country. Mr. Clay has financial interests in Colorado, being interested in banks and live stock, and is the head of the Western Ranches Company, one of the few remaining great cattle corporations of the Northwest. He is an authority on live stock and financial matters and predicts that Denver will some day be one of the greatest live stock and packing centers in the country. "It is time Colorado was awakening to the opportunities that surround this state," said Mr. Clay. "It has taken a long time to overcome the idea that all the prosperity of the state is based upon the mineral resources of the state. As great as they are, agriculture is many, many times greater. Develop your agricultural resources to their fullest extent and you have laid the foundation that will bring everything else that goes to make a prosperous community. Your people talk of needing more population, and manufacturing is suggested as the means to bring that end. I tell you that if you will bring in the farmers all the rest follows as a matter of course. Mining development will always continue as a matter of course and should be encouraged along legitimate lines, but the farmer is the steady, legitimate producer. "Let the farmers upon the high-priced land in the middle western states know of the wonderful fertility of your soil, and you will have a flood of immigration of the kind that counts. These men have the training required to secure from your soil the very best results. They also have a thorough knowledge of live stock farming, and that is the kind that will bring the greatest profits, for the reason that you can grow here the best root and forage crops, and stock feeding, coupled with sugar beet growing, yield enormous profits to the farmer." German Soldiers Are Coming Denver.—Five thousand dollars were collected by the committee in charge of the arrangements for the annual reunion of the Federation of Former German Soldiers, which will be held in this city during the latter part of August. The committee has decided to raise a fund of $25,000 for the entertainment of the thousands of visitors who will come to Denver during reunion week, and, judging from the success last week, it will have no trouble to raise the entire amount before the middle of June. Everywhere the members of the committee met with the greatest enthusiasm, and responses to requests for contributions were both liberal and prompt. Godfrey Schirmer, president of the German-American Trust Company, has been elected honorary president of the committee in charge of the reunion fund. Few Germans in Denver are better known than Mr. Schirmer. He has been a resident of Denver for a number of years and is one of Denver's leading business men. In active charge of the preparations for the reunion is John Hecker, president of the reunion committee and chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Hecker, the Denver representative of the Golden Brewery, is not only a former German soldier, but he fought with great distinction during the Civil War. He, like Mr. Schirmer, is well known among Denver's business men, and he is considered one of the leaders of the city's German-American population. Ranch Sold for $126,000. The great Charles B. Rhodes ranch at Deer Trail was sold by Colorado Land Headquarters, through the Colonial Securifies Company, to Kneeland Dockstaeder of Lenox, Iowa. The ranch comprises 12,000 acres of land and is one of the largest and finest in Eastern Colorado. The price paid for it was $126,000. The ranch was bought many years ago by Mr. Rhodes and it has been one of the largest cattle ranches in the state. It was sold to Mr. Rhodes, through Colorado Land Headquarters, about two months ago to Omaha and Kansas City capitalists. They in-turn gave it over to the Seventeenth street land people for resales. The advance over the price of the Kansas City and Omaha capitalists paid for it and the price they sold for was marked, being another striking example of the advance in the price of lands in eastern Colorado. It is Mr. Dockstaeder's intention to raise hogs on a large scale. The low lands on the property will be utilized to raise alfalfa, while the high lands will be devoted to peas and barley. It has been the theory of most American farmers that the corn-fed pork was the best, but in Holland, whence comes the best bacon in the world, the hogs have been fed on peas and barley exclusively for years. Colorado Wins Water Suit. Washington.—The somewhat famous case of the state of Kansas against the state of Colorado, by which the former sought to have the latter enjoined from diverting the waters of the Arkansas river for irrigation purposes, or permitting its citizens to do so, was dismissed by the Supreme Court of the United States to-day. The announcement of the court's decision was made by Justice Brewer, who said that the dismissal was without prejudice to the right of Kansas to serve its petition whenever it can be shown that the state is being substantially injured. The intervening petition of the United States also was dismissed. 1910 Staple Groceries and Fresh Meats. 1864 Curtis Srreet, Cor. 19th.

GOVERNOR BUCHTEL is entitled to a good easy shave at whatever shop he gets his work done. His veto of the barbers' union bill wiped out a game of flim-flam that meant a whole lot of trouble for the barbers of Colorado, and especially the non-union barbers. Not many colored barbers belong to the barbers' union, but there are a good many colored barbers in Colorado who do not need credentials from any kind of examining board. Their patrons do not demand that they pay $5 for a useless certificate. This scheme of licensing barbers is all subterfuge intended to give a few men authority over many. It would be just as reasonable to enact a law licensing shoemakers or dressmakers. As a rule, patrons have a way of their own of choosing their tonsorialists. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. No man cares to read a certificate to find out if a barber shop is clean. Unless he is blind, he can judge for himself. If the razor "pulls" when he is getting his turn, a whole row of certificates on the wall would not increase his confidence in the man behind the blade. On the other hand, the patrons who wait for their favorite barber don't need any pointers from a board of examiners or any other superfluous grafters. They have conducted their own examinations. Tonsorialists are made by long practice combined with an aptitude for sharpening things. Cleanliness is a matter of habit. If the average barber were as dirty as the average cook in your city restaurants, it might be reasonable to examine and license him. But he is not. And who would think of meddling with a cook's license? GLAD OF IT. Comment of southern men upon the gift of Anna T. Jeanes of one million dollars for the benefit of Negro education in the South shows a strange feeling on the part of men of acknowledged intelligence. "We welcome these gifts most cordially," says the editor of the Richmond, Virginia, NewsLeader. "They relieve the southern white people of part of the burden of educating millions of Negro children, whose parents, so far as paying taxes is concerned, are nonproducers. Second, they hasten the movement of the Negro from the South to the North." There is little charity and therefore little sincerity in this kind of joy. The gift of Miss Jeanes was for the purpose of placing rudimentary education within the reach of some of the Negroes of rural districts who do not possess such advantages. It would appear from this that there is a vast burden in parts of the South which the white people have not taken up, and from which, therefore, there is no necessity for relieving them. Doubtless credit is due the South for whatever effort it has put forth for the education of its black population, but it has been handicapped by poverty, inability and often unwillingness, and it is well known that in many sections of the South no school facilities of any character are afforded large numbers of blacks. It would seem that gifts like that mentioned above might be welcomed cordially, not because of any relief to the whites, but because of their provisions for the performance of a duty wholly undone and for the good thereby primarily accomplished. But if such gifts hasten the movement of the Negro from the South to the North, then it is a selfish cause for rejoicing. The white southerner who speaks seriously and sincerely should feel no gratification in shifting to another part of the nation what he believes to be a burden upon himself. There is vindictiveness in the expression of such an idea. There is resentment or envy of the gift when men welcome it with such language. But why should the Southern white man resent or envy these gifts to Negroes? Is not education the one acknowledged lever for lifting them out of sloth and dependence? And are not the whites well assured of the capability to provide for their own? There are "cracker" elements in the South, it is true, as sadly in need of educational help as are the Negroes; but there are numberless ways for the whites to provide means to help them. The "cracker" element presents no particular difficulty beyond its own shiftlessness, but back of the Negroes' condition is a "problem" whose rightful solving makes his enlightenment compulsory and a moral duty. But the education of the Negro, in whatever degree it may be accomplished, offers no assurance that the Negro will give up the South for the North. He will drift about more, perhaps, as he learns, but he will also acquire a firmer footing in the South, where he was born. He will gradually grow better able to improve his own condition and as he improves himself, so will he help to improve the South. THE BOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU The Japanese are coming to Colorado! The alarm has been given by one of our daily contemporaries, and Captain Prejudice, stern and alert, has been placed in charge of the native forces. The little brown people are not coming as belligerents, although you might think so from the "scarey" way in which their advent is announced. They are looking for work and—getting it. It is bewildering, if not pitiful, to note the seeming terror or fear with which Americans view the possible influx of another race and the contact and competition which are liable to result from their presence in "the white man's country." There are 3,000 or 4,000 Japanese in Colorado, it is alleged, and they are coming principally to work in the sugar beet fields. Americans make their coming possible by hiring them to take the places of more expensive laborers. Yellow labor is sought by speculative Americans as a money-making investment; but the coming of the yellow man is fought by the community because of an alleged fear of results. Speculation is a world-wide industrial feature, now-a-days. The American, the English and every other branch of the Caucasian race goes to Japan, China, Africa and every other attractive part of the earth to make what he can out of the peculiar conditions existing in these several mundane divisions. No matter whether the brown man, yellow man, black man or other bogie man wants the white man in his country or not, the white man goes, and calls upon Christendom to support and protect him in his somewhat missionary and considerably speculative enterprises. The white man's customs, ideals and religion are all different from those of the people whose domain he invades, but the white man's means of forcing entry and compelling compliance with the all-conquoring demands of trade are also different. He claims the right to exploit the earth at his free and personal will, so long as he does not assume political authority in a foreign land, without the consent of all white men's governments which might possibly be interested. But when the yellow man, brown man or black man comes to the white man's country,—Oh, what then? It is different. He immediately becomes a bogie man against whom the white man hastens to erect a barrier of unsurmountable prejudice; he conjures up startling tales of the yellow, brown or black peril and paints lurid pictures of monsters threatening to gnaw away the life of the nation. These foreign races of dark pigment come to America for the same purpose that Americans go to their countries,—to make money. What if they do live on rice and patronize their merchants for that? That is their business and they are good judges of rice. What white man in China wouldn't give forty yen for a good dish of American pork and beans? But this eternal danger cry of race prejudice or color peril is mean, cowardly, un-Christian, unholy. And it is supremely unfair. It is not at all apace with the white man's position in the world. The Negro problem in the United States is made great by the white man's ability to be unfair and his unequaled capacity for selfishness and meanness. Nature is its own guardian against the social amalgamation of races. And there is no danger worth worrying about in the presence in one country of different racial stocks to any extent possible with the several racial stocks primarily distributed over the world, as they are at present. The white man at home is over fearsome. Let him rid himself of his bogies, or else let him stay home and not become the bogie man to other races. The A.T.

Massachusetts Department Commander, G. A. R. HE spirit of Memorial day is a reflection of the universal reverence and regard for the loved departed. Memorial day itself began as an expression of affectionate respect for the memory of the heroic dead who died to save the union and to make men free. T The idea in itself was one that naturally appealed to every patriotic heart. As a sentiment alone it was beautiful; as an influence for the encouragement and development of the patriotic spirit it was eminently useful. As time has gone on, the popularity of the idea of a day set apart once a year for a kind of affectionate communion with those who have passed to the life beyond has grown, so that Memorial day has a significance for thousands of persons who do not recall any memories of those four years of that stupendous struggle for our national existence. Yet, as the lines of the union are drawn closer and closer, as this great nation becomes even more firmly welded in all its parts, the original significance of Memorial day will be deepened. When the last participant in the war for the union, and when the last son and daughter of any participant in that struggle, have passed away, Memorial day, Union day, if we please to call it such, will still survive, because the memory of those who saved the union will have become not less, but more precious, to every true American. And even in those regions from which were drawn the brave soldiers who fought on the other side, it must be that the future will observe the growth of as strong a sense of the value of the victory for the union as ever was the sentiment for secession. It is, therefore, certain that the memories which Memorial day was designed to perpetuate will grow stronger, and not weaker, with time, and will spread from one end of this great country to the other and include all classes and conditions of Americans. In opposing the further extension of the suffrage to women the writer has no uncertain conviction of feminine ability to grasp and oftentimes cogently to express a political situation. The excellent work of some women as editorial writ- Nature's Barriers to Woman's Suffrage By MISS CATHERINE E. CONWAY. ers on political topics, the beneficent influence of many women quietly exercised in times of public stress and strain, albeit they have no desire for the suffrage as a personal possession, are against sweeping depreciations of feminine intelligence in this matter. If the exercise of unrestricted suffrage on the part of women involved no more—to quote a favorite illustrations from many of its advocates—than the putting of a letter in the mail box it would be hard to press a case against it; But the extension of unrestricted suffrage would logically involve the extension of eligibility for political office to women. As one who has had from earliest years more than ordinary opportunity to study the effects of political campaigning and competition for elective office among men, and in recent years among women for such offices as are open to us under our restricted suffrage, the writer should for women's and for humanity's sake protest against any enlargement of our opportunities to vote. The question of divinely appointed function, and consequently of difference in physique, lies at the root of the matter. We have not and we never can have the physical strength of them as expressed in muscle and bone. Then our mental outlook is different. Our partisanship is more intense and exhausting. It is well nigh impossible for the most of us to exclude our personal feelings from the consideration of impersonal matters. Our emotions rend our hearts. Our over-sensitive consciences would often persuade us that a sudden change in a political programme involved more or less of moral obliquity on the part of those making it; whereas there might be no question of right and wrong, but only of entirely justifiable opportuneness or expediency. What woman can safely add to her ordinary domestic duties, or the work by which she lives, if she is a wage earner, the fatigues of a fortnight of speechmaking whether as candidate or candidate's supporter, with the swift alternating strains of hope and fear, the quick resentment of inevitable personal attack from the opposition, and all the rest, which wear severely even on the comparatively insensible fiber of men? Let us not delude ourselves here. We cannot eat our cake and keep it. The moment we descend into the ranks of seekers for elective office—and thither we should go the day after our attainment of unrestricted suffrage—we should lose the chivalrous consideration which men in general give to women as women. For we should be contending against men, and the commoner masculine element, which will always be the majority, would see us not only as rivals, but as rivals who had no business on the ground. Our opportunity to put conscience into politics is in whatever personal influence we can exercise on actual and potential voters. Direct participation in the strenuous business will not improve politics, but will of a certainty injure women. Katherine E. Conway Business Training Not Enough By PROF.

The commercial spirit which has made great strides throughout the country, so much so that in past years it has been customary for academic bred men to apologize for their learning when they rose to address an audience, has risen and fallen. And in every walk of life the man of academic training has been sought as the means of rescue. Men of academic training are being elected as railroad chiefs. The "self-made" lawyers who thought they could satisfy the needs of justice have tried, and gloomy was their failure. The academic trained lawyer is taking his place. We called in the academic trained men, the chemists, and showed Mr. Business Man that he was a failure. To-day the era of commercialism stands discredited everywhere.

After years of endeavor to secure the pardon of a former family servant, Mrs. W. W. Grant of Denver has at last succeeded. Twenty years ago Al- bert Green, a Negro attaché of her gir!- hood home in Virginia, was convicted in Washington, D. C., of murder, and sentenced to be hanged. Through the efforts of Mrs. Grant, who was then Miss Anne S. Green of Culpepper, Vir- ginia, and her mother, this sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life, | Byer since, Mrs. Grant and her fam- ily have endeavored to secure Green's pardon. At every change of adminis: tration Mrs, Grant visited Washington and laid the case before the Presi- dent. Finally she decided to secure the services of Philip Stewart of Colo- rado Springs, a personal friend of President Roosevelt, This proved the plan that,was to meet with success, for yesterday Mrs. Grant received a telegram from Mr. Stewart stating that Green had been pardoned by the Pres: ident, Later she also received a tele- gram signed “Gordon, pardon clerk,” repeating the statement.—News.

D. Haywood. It is authoritatively announced that the state will summarily dismiss three men now in the box and the defense will peremptorily challenge three and possibly four. At the resumption of the proceedings Clarence Darrow again attempted to disqualify Juror Maw, the last talseman drawn, who is extremely antagonistic to labor organizations of all kinds. Maw answered to the usual requirements of a juror, but this is a case where organized labor itself is on trial and the defense cannot permit anyone to serve who is so strongly prejudiced they can see no good in labor organizations. Numbers of the state's witnesses are in court. The first lot of subpoenas issued ordered the witnesses to appear on May 10th and they have obeyed the summons. In view of the fact that taking of evidence will not begin for a week or more Judge Wood permitted those witnesses who live at Caldwell to return to their homes subject to the call of the sheriff. The following jurors are in the box, passed by state and defense, to try William D. Haywood. Each is subject to peremptory challenge by state or defense. Each side has ten peremptory challenges and the state has used one: A. L. Ewing, a carpenter; George F. Maw, farmer; Samuel D. Gilman, farmer; Walter Shaw, farmer; Allen Pride, farmer; William McGuffy, coal and feed dealer; Oric Cole, farmer; G. H. Mcntyte, farmer; W. H. Bisby, farmer; A. P. Burns, farmers; W. M. Ritdge, farmer; Samuel F. Russell, farmer. Hung Out His Death Sign Colorado Springs—After hanging a carefully penelled sign labeled "John Lang Is Dead," on the front door of his place of business at $116\frac{1}{2}$ North Tejon street, Colorado Springs, John Lang, proprietor of the North Park pool room, closed up his store, turned on every gas jet in the room, stopped every aperture and laid down on his bed to die of asphyxiation. He was discovered unconscious and removed to the St. Francis hospital. He is now out of danger and his recovery is assured. He was inclined to melancholia and to worry over his business, and this is supposed to have caused him to attempt to end his life. He is 62 years of age and married. When J. R. Weymar, who occupies the same room as a barber shop, came to work at 7 o'clock this morning he found the sign on the door as above. Lang's black working sleeves were drafted across the paper, apparently as crepe. A strong odor of escaping gas was noticeable, even on the outside. Weymar, fearing that Lang had taken his own life summoned assistance and entered the room, finding Lang unconscious on his bed in the rear of the room. Fifteen gas jets in different parts of the pool room were turned on. Lang was taken out into the open air, and when he showed signs of recovery he was removed in the city ambulance to St. Francis hospital, where medical assistance soon brought him to his senses. He was later taken to his home at 510 East Pike's Peak avenue. Lang has been in the habit of sleeping at his place of business, where he has a cot in a space partitioned off from the room. When he closed his pool room at 11 o'clock last night, he turned on all the gas jets and laid down on his bed. That his death did not result from escaping gas is due to the fact that the room is exceptionally large and very well ventilated. The only cause for his actions is that he was worried, he says, over business troubles. To Stop Sunday Funerals. Denver.—Another crusade against the Sunday funeral in Denver is on, and it remains to be seen whether it will meet the same fate a similar movement of several years ago did. That crusade came to naught, after weeks of agitation, notwithstanding the fact that the undertakers of the city generally and the cemetery authorities were in favor of it. In spite of this discouragement, W. G. Thompson, an undertaker, has placed the ban on Sunday burials. He has issued a card in which he announces that he will refuse to conduct funerals on the Lord's day, except to comply with the health laws and when private interments are requested. It is a bold movement, for people of certain classes are in favor of Sunday burials. It gives the friends of the family an opportunity to be present, and also permits of a display that is not possible on a week day. In the argument against Sunday interments, Mr. Thompson has this to say: "It disturbs the sacred quiet of the Lord's day. It attracts people with a morbid curiosity to the cemetery. It creates a desire for display and notoriety. It forces kindred people to a greater expense on account of publicity. Cemetery employees, liverymen, funeral directors and all others, directly and indirectly connected with the interment, have as sacred a duty as others to observe the day of rest." The support of undertakers and everybody else in the city is asked. Twenty-two Are Indicted. Denver—Indictments against twenty-two persons involved in the timber and coal land frauds have been returned by the federal grand jury, and Judge Lewis immediately issued bench warrants for the arrest of those concerned. Ball in each case was fixed at $2,500 but the names of the persons indicted are being withheld until the United States marshal's office has had time to serve the warrants and take the indicted into custody. It is said that all of the persons indicted are outside Denver. That at least one big corporation doing business in this city fears the outcome of the jury's deliberations is evident from the presence of two of its agents who stayed yesterday about the corridors of the federal building trying every means to learn the names of those who were named in the indictments. COLORADO ASSET NOTED STOCKMAN BELIEVES IN GREAT FUTURE FOR WEST. PLEASED WITH THE BOOM Scientific Stock Raising Also One of State's Great Features—Denver the Center for Many Big Industries. "Agriculture is Colorado's greatest resource, and in seeking to gain population and prosperity this fact should be kept constantly in mind." This remark was made by John Clay of Chicago, one of the greatest stockmen and bankers in the country. Mr. Clay is here looking after the interests of his firm, Clay, Robinson & Co., which has a branch house in Denver. Mr. Clay has been interested in western live stock for about thirty-five yeas and there are few men living more familiar with the range stock business in all its branches than he. "I notice that your State Commercial Association has commenced a campaign to raise $100,000 for advertising the state," said Mr. Clay. "If the gentlemen in charge of this movement will consistently bear in mind that agriculture is the greatest resource of the state I predict great results for this commendable effort on the part of the citizens to advance the growth of the state. Colorado has a wonderfully fertile soil and what is needed is men who have the training necessary to secure the best results from intelligent cultivation. Your efforts should be directed mainly to the securing of farmers from the high-priced lands of the Middle West. These men not only have the training required to secure the best results from the soil, but they also have a thorough knowledge of live stock agriculture, the most profitable character of farming that can be indulged in in this state, for the reason that you can grow here the very best root and forage crops, and stock feeding, coupled with the great sugar industry, yields enormous profits when conducted properly. "If the available agricultural lands of the state are settled with this class of farmers, manufacturing industries will naturally be attracted to the cities and towns. The development of a big packing center in Denver will bring in a number of allied industries and the demands of the farmer will bring the farm machinery manufacturing industries closer to the place of demand, so that in building up your agricultural resources you are making the foundation for building up the population in the country as well as the city. "I am very fond of the West, and to see moves of this character take the place of the old happy-loucky range business makes me feel that there is a wonderful future in store for Colorado "Denver should be the great center of the intermountain live stock trade. Economic conditions demand centers of trade. It seems to me that the live stock industry has been rather neglected by the citizens of Denver. As farming develops and stock feeding is understood all over the West as it is understood by the farmers in the shadow of the mountains, the Denver market should control the meat trade branching out from 300 to 500 miles. "Denver is also a favorable point for the interchange of feeding stock. Today most of this stock is contracted for outside. Denver gets a look at part of it, but it adds little to the business of the city. It takes progressive and aggressive methods to get this business. With the active settlement of the available agricultural lands there will be a great increase in the number of small stock owners whose trade must be corralled for Denver. I can see no reason why Denver should not become as great a stock center as Kansas City or Omaha. "In some ways you have even better advantages and it is only necessary to build up your agricultural interests and inaugurate an energetic campaign upon liberal lines to secure success. The interchange of feeding cattle and sheep will grow to great proportions. The men from Texas and New Mexico should meet their neighbors from the northern ranges half way, and the half way house is Denver." Will Attack U. S. Order A recent order of the United States land office, not to approve any more Colorado irrigation schemes that have the upper Rio Grande river and tributaries as a base for their water supply is to be attacked in the federal court by the Conejos Reservoir Company. The reservoir company wants a site for a reservoir on the Conejos river fourteen miles from the town of Conejos. State Geologist. In accordance with a bill passed by the last Legislature and signed by the governor, the professor of geology in the State University is now state geologist and holds the executive functions of a state geological survey created by the same act. The objects of the survey are: The study of the geological formations of the state with special reference to its economic, mineral resources; an examination of the topography and physical features of the state with reference to their practical bearing upon the occupations of the people; such co-operation with the State Bureau of Mines as shall be mutually beneficial; the preparation and publication of geologic, economic maps to illustrate the mineral resources of the state; the preparation and publication of special reports, with necessary illustrations and maps which shall give both the general and detailed description of the geology and natural resources of the state; the preparation and publication of a summary or digest, with complete bibliography and maps of all trustworthy literature and reports hitherto on the geology and the mineral resources of Colorado; the publication of a series of bulletins on the geology, geography, and natural resources of Colorado for use in the high schools of the state; the consideration of such other scientific and economic subjects and questions as in the judgment of the advisory board shall be deemed of value to the people of the state. WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS COMING. The Breath of Progress is Wafted Over Mountain and Plain. Denver.—A contract for building an electric line from Englewood to Roxborough Park, by way of Littleton, was let yesterday to Joseph A. Osner, a railroad contractor, by H. W. Hartman and others interested in the proposition. Grading work will commence Thursday, and the line will be completed to Littleton by August 1st. Power will be obtained from the Denver Tramway plant, and the Tramway tracks will be used from Englewood to the center of Denver. The Great Western Railway Company, a subsidiary of the Great Western Sugar Company, has let a contract for building fourteen miles of line from Officer to Windsor to Joseph A. Osner. This line will act as a connecting link for the Great Western lines now in operation. The work will be completed by September 1st. Dozens of men are being sent daily from Denver to Sulphide, along the line of the Colorado & Northwestern railway, to work on a series of reservoirs to be built by the Eastern Colorado Power Company. Four hundred men and almost as many teams will be employed. The company is invading the territory of the Northern Colorado Power Company, and a rate war will no doubt ensue when the reservoirs and power plants are completed, April 1, 1908. The interurban line running south from Denver to Roxborough Park, about twenty miles from the city, near the mouth of Platte canon, will no build up the country between Denver and Littleton, and will be a paying proposition. Roxborough Park, a natural beauty spot, is owned by the syndicate building the electric line, and will be made a beautiful summer resort. The park will not be opened up until next summer. Thomas B. Doane of the Denver Union Water Company and many other Denver men are connected with the scheme. The Great Western Sugar Company is gradually adding to its lines in the northern part of the state, and now has almost cobwebbed the sugar beet district. The proposed line from Officer to Windsor will give direct connections from Longmont to Windsor and other towns. The company is building its lines so that it will be able to send beets from one factory to another, as they are required. The Eastern Colorado Power Company proposes spending $1,500,000 in building reservoirs and a power plant near Sulphur on Middle Boulder creek. The Northern Colorado Power Company is building a power plant at Lafayette, a short distance from Sulphide. Hubbard on the Cooper Ranch. Carbondale, Colo.—The mystery surrounding the alleged marital troubles of pretty Miss Alice Cooper, talented sculpturer, and H. N. Hubbard, prominent attorney of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which has set the tongues of many states wagging, has Carbondale and surrounding country in an uproar. The Coopers are among the most prominent in this section and the reports have caused a profound sesition. Miss Cooper, Hubbard and the girl's mother have taken refuge at their ranch several miles from this city in an effort to escape notoriety and be away from curious questioners. They arrived one at a time. Mrs. Cooper came up and was followed by her daughter. Hubbard came in on a late train from Glenwood. Mrs. Charlotte Wilson, sister of Miss Cooper, drove him to the ranch in her buggy. No one here is acquainted with the man, but he is said to be the same who has twice spent the summer with the Coopers at the Cooper place here. A rumor is current to-day that Hubbard has completed arrangements for the erection of a modern village in the mountains near here at which he will spend the summer months. The relatives are reticent about the affair and refuse to go into demeany, saying that it is "nobody's business." Mrs. Wilson, however, insists that her sister has been married to Hubbard for two years. She believes that he has been mistaken for another man of the same name and that there is no truth in the statement that he has a wife living in Iowa, from whom he has obtained no divorce. Her sister maintained her maiden name because of her reputation, she says. According to reports from Chicago the courtship of Miss Cooper and Hubbard began over the corpse of his father, the son having engaged Miss Cooper to make a death mask of his parent. Had a Hole in Her Stocking. Taunton, Mass.—"Just like finding it," said Miss Nellie F. Healy, shop girl, as she picked up a roll of bills containing $30 in Main street. "How careless!" ejaculated Policeman Morris as he picked up $20 not far away. "I need it," declared Captain Walker as he lifted a $10 bill. Farther down the street James McMahon, as he scooped a $10 gold piece, turned to Mrs. Joseph Chambers and said: "Is this yours, madam?" "I don't know," said Mrs. Chambers, "I had one. Wait—I'll see." She stepped into a doorway, thrust her hand beneath her skirts and turned pale. "Heavens!" she said. "I put $70 in my stocking when I came down shopping this morning and it's all gone." Later she recovered the money from the police and Miss Nellie Healy, who got a reward. Abe Ruef Pleada Guilty. San Francisco, Cal.—In a voice so low that it could hardly be heard in the intense silence of the court room, Abe Ruef, the notorious San Francisco boss, before Judge Dunne, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy brought against him in connection with the bribery of the city's supervisors. Ruef came into court so weak and worn he could hardly stand. Since his arrest and the invincible case that had been built against him by District Attorney Langdon and his assistants, Ruef has become discouraged. The efforts of friends to instill courage into him have failed completely and his defiant mood was soon changed. THE BROADWAY PHARMACY BANTA BROS, Props. Corner 19th, Welton and Broadway.

FIZER M. R. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: "I have suffered with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Per-u-na For Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time." "I feel that Peruna and Manalain cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Danger in Signals. "I was playing a game of cards in a mining camp in the Rockies," said the mild-mannered man, "when suddenly my partner, by way of a gentle hint, held up two fingers to indicate that he had a pair. Quick as a flash, one of our opponents whipped out his dirk and slashed off the fingers. "Awful! Well, it was pretty bad, but wasn't he in luck that he didn't have a full hand?" With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

PAUL HAD HIS OWN IDEA. Father's Explanation of Lightning Not Satisfactory to Him. Little Paul was four years old when the western city in which he lived was swept one night by a terrible storm. Wind, thunder and lightning played havoc, and, while other members of the family were huddled in dark corners, Paul watched the illumination of the sky with great delight. The next morning at breakfast he asked his father what caused the streaks of fire across the sky, and his father, with great pains, essayed to explain. Paul listened attentively and apparently accepted what was told him, but, when he found attention diverted from himself, he leaned over to his aunt, who sat beside him, and whispered: "It wasn't that, auntie. It was God scratching matches on the sky." BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Relieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure.

At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906." Use for Worthless Stocks.

"Here's a man who has just offered me $50 for enough mining stocks to have a face value of $50,000. He wasn't particular what stocks he got if they only had a paper value of $50,000. I closed the deal and shall make money on it, too. What did he want with such stocks? Well, I haven't the slightest doubt but that he is getting ready to go into the bankruptcy court and wants to show his creditors where his money has been dropped. We often get such requests and are usually able to fill them."—N. Y. Sun. Cannon May Break Record.

It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts food has cured me of indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives the engine. When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

Blind Man Expert Whist Player. Bert Trim, a blind resident of Woonsocket, R. I., is an expert whist player, being a valued member of a local club.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary 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 wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. The Bright Side. "Oh, this poverty!" wept the beautiful wife when her shifty-eyed husband came home. "The gas and electric companies have shut off their service because you have not paid their bills."

If anyone tries to ring us up to spend the evening with us they will think we are not at home."—Judge. Czar as Composer of Music. For the last 18 months the czar has been virtually a prisoner in one of his own palaces and in the intervals of state work he has solaced himself with composing music and writing verse. His poetry is melodious and carefully polished and his music is melancholy and inspired by a spirit of fatalism. Some three years ago some of the czar's poems were published under the pseudonym of Olaf, with music by his cousin, the Grand Duke D'Assia, but he has himself set some of his verses to music with a considerable amount of taste and a real knowledge of harmony. Nicholas II. has a fine collection of violins, of which he is very proud. Perfect Womanhood The greatest menace to woman's permanent happiness in life is the suffering that comes from some derangement of the feminine organs. Many thousands of women have realized this too late to save their health, barely in time to save their lives. To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headache, bearing-down sensations, nervousness, irregularities or the "blues," she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as STOMACH ON STRIKE SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured This Woman and Have Cured Many Hundreds of Other Cases of Common Alliments Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache and a dull, sluggish feeling—these are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on a strike; that it is no longer furnishing to the blood the full quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every organ suffers. There are two methods of treatment, the old one by which the stomach is humored by the use of predigested foods and artificial ferments, and the new one by which the stomach is toned up to do the work which nature intended of it. A recent cure by the tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81 Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says: "I suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backaches and was confined to my bed the greater part of three years. I was under the care of our family physician most of the time, but did not seem to get better. "I was completely run-down and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my complexion pale. I suffered from flashes of heat, followed suddenly by chills. I had awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. I could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fitful. As a result I lost several pounds in weight and became very nervous. "I was in a wretched condition when I heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health. I was encouraged by this to keep on until I was cured. My friends and neighbors often remark what a changed woman I am and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These wonderful pills are useful in a wide range of diseases such as anemia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headaches, and even locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis. The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicina Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
