Anniversary of the True Reformers Rosebub Nursery Department Fourth Annual May musical of Public School Children Preparing for the National Baptist Convention Annual meeting of Board of Trus tees of Howard University. VOL. XIII, Washing Anniversary of the True Reformers Fourth Annual May musical —Preparing for the Na tion—Annual meetin tees of Howar Special to Colorado Statesman: The twentieth anniversary of the True Reformers Rosebud Nursery department was celebrated last Sunday afternoon in the Metropolitan Baptist church. 'The children with their parents met at Reformers hall and marched to the church. A more beautiful and inspiring sight can scarcely be imagined than that afforded by these children in their innocence and purity making their way to the church of God to participate in anniversary exercises which each year more forcibly emphasize the beneficent results of intelligent organization as well as the growing faith in those ways and means which will make grand and noble men and women of the boys and girls of our race. The exercises which were listened to and enjoyed by a large audience embraced addresses by officers, recitations and music by the children and speeches in eulogy of the life, character and work of the late Mrs. M. A. Lane by Mrs. Rose Thompson of Philadelphia, chief of the Mothers Grand Division and D. R. Hall of Richmond, Va. chief of the Southern Grand Division. A delighted audience of more than 4000 persons filled Convention hall a few evenings ago to hear the fourth annual May musical by 1000 children of the four divisions of the colored public schools. The event was given under the auspices of the Washington Playground Association and with the co-operation of the board of education. The vetevan music master and assistant director of music in the schools Prof. J. T. Layton conducted the chorus and was ably assisted by Misses Lola Johnson, Marie C. James Josephine E. Wormley and Messrs Gerald Tyler and Ernest R. Amos all of the department of music in the schools. A long and interesting program was rendered in an almost faultless manner and brought forth long and continued applause for the splendid methods of the conductor and the pure sweet harmony in the blending of so many childrens voices. The pastors and five delegates --- of each of the colored Baptist churches of Washington and vicinity are arranging to entertain the National Baptist convention which meets in Metropolitan Baptist church this city next September. This convention will represent more than two million and a half of colored Baptists in the United States which is probably the largest religious organization in the race. At the coming convention it is expected that fully 10,000 persons from all parts of the country will attend. The Baptists are to be congratulated upon the time selected for their convention as well as the place, for in so far as human agencies may reach a delightful interesting and enjoyable stay may be guaranteed to all. Doubtless too the opportunity afforded for a visit to the Jamestown Exposition will not be overlooked by many who will perhaps for the first time enjoy a personal contact amid scenes and an environment which while painfully suggestive are still the scene of events whose importance must continue to grow as the world moves on. At a recent meeting of the educational board an educational secretary was elected in the person of Rev. D. S. Klugh, D. D. of Princeton, N. J. Dr. Klugh will have especial charge of the plan to promote the establishment of the National Baptist Theological Seminary. The committee of ministers having charge of arrangements for the large convention is Drs. Walter H. Brooks, W. Bishop Johnson, Geo W. Lee, J. Milton Waldron, D. F. Rivers, J. C. Dent, J. I. Loving, J. A. Taylor, A. J. Tyler, S. Miller, A. Wilbanks, W. J. Robinson, J. H. Lee and I. Tolliver. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, chairman and Rev. A. Sayles, Secty. The annual meeting of the board of trustees of Howard Uuiversity was held on the 28th inst in the office of the president. In many respects this meeting was the most important that has occured in quite a number of years. An unusually large number of vacancies through deaths during DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1907. the year had to be filled and the high character and ability of the men selected is the very best guarantee that the strengthening and development of this noble institution along all lines of progress is to be prosecuted with unabated vigilance. The gentlemen selected for membership on the board are Mr. John H. Converse a manufactures of Philadelphia, Prof. James H. N. Waring, principal of the colored Baltimore high school, Dr. J. E. Moorlang, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. (these two latter are graduates of Howard and their selection is therefore especially fitting) Judge Job Barnard of the Supreme Court and Dr. Booker T. Washington. The selection of Mr. Washington is of the very gravest importance and can scarcely indicate anything less than the fact that the apostle of industrial education has accomplished so much for this idea that he feels he can easily be generous and throw a part of his influence and talents to the other side. From whatever view point the selection of mr. Washington may be regarded its effect upon the future of Howard cannot but be salutary in the largest degree. JOHN H. PAYNTER. THAT MIGHTY PROBLEM Dr. Frand Loveland of the First Methodist church at Omaha, spoke of the race problem and Senator Tillman in his sermon. In part he said: "The problem of the black man is the hardest which the church and state of to-day has to solve. It is no longer a sectional question; it concerns the whole nation, and we are called on to deal with it here in Omaha. "The other evening you saw Senator Tillman fold his arms, grit his teeth and say that the Yankee was responsible for the slave trade, but I tell you that if the southerner had not furnished a market for the slaves there would have been no slave trade. Sanator Tillman spoke the other evening of the treason of the senate, but I tell you that a man who confesses to the crimes to which he confessed is the one who is guilty of treason to his country. Men like Senator Tillman and Thomas Dixon are a menace to this question. To settle this question we need men like Dr. M. C. B. Mason. He is a Negro as black as the ace of spades. To settle the race problem we need to give our black brother education, Christianity and a trained hand. In the discussion of the problem it is not necessary for me to say whether a Negro is as good as a white man. Senator Tillman asked if you would want your daughter to marry a Negro. No; neither would I want her to marry a Tillman." JAMESTOWN NOTES Norfolk, Va., June 6.—Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the capable director of the musical exhibit in connection with the Negro Department of the Jamestown Exposition, announces with pardonable pride, that arrangements are being made with the Columbia Phonograph company, by which the choicest works of our colored songwriters and composers are to be reproduced on their records through a new process, which has been experimented with and found very satisfactory. The most delicate tones of the human voice or musical instrument are transmitted perfectly by this means. As soon as practicable, the race's most eminent artists will sing or play into a Columbian receiver, and visitors to the Negro building will have an opportunity to hear their favorites to almost as great an advantage as if they were actually present. It is expected that the records will embrace the most popular selections of such famous vocalists as Mme. Sissieretta Jones, Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, Mme. Kittie Sheene-Mitchell, Mme. Marion Adams-Harris, Miss Lola Johnson and Harry T. Burleigh; composers of the type of Cole & Johnson, Will Marion Cooke, and instrumentalists who rank with Miss Mary L. Europe, R. Augustus Lawson, Melville Charleton, Joseph H. Douglass and Mr. White himself. The Columbia Phonograph is far and away the standard "talking machine" of the country, and this plan to reproduce through its accurate records the typical music of the race, will doudtless prove to be one of the most pleasing attractions offered by any department of the Negro Exhibit, enjoyable alike to both, races, for it has been amply demonstrated that the appreciation of the compositions of Negro masters of melody is not bounded by color, clime or condition. It is universal. The reportoire to be furnished will be rich and varied, running the gamut from the purest classic to the pathetic folk lore of plantation days. An exhibit illustrative of the growing versatility of the Negro is the display of artistic penmanship, the work of William Wendell Gaskin, of Adrian, mich. Besides many striking specimens of scroll work, this gifted young man has a number of original designs for which copywrights have been secured, representing life-like scenes and historical tablets that can scarcely be distinguished from fine steel engravings. As an expert card-writer, mr. Gaskin has won national fame, and will put in a few weeks this fall at the exposition to accommodate patrons. The log-cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born has been brought on from Larue county, Kentucky, and is being put up in a prominent place on the Negro reservation. It will contain relics of the imortal Preserver of the Union and of the anti-slavery cause which he so nobly espoused, the real timbers of the Lincoln cabin are kindly loaned to the committee by the recent purchaser of the old home-stead of the Blue Grass State. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. New York, May 29.—Booker T. Washington, the Negro educator, has leased a summer home at West Neck, L. 1., and will be near enough to Sagamore Hill to see the tall chimneys of the president's house. In a direct line across the waters of Cold Spring bay he will be about three miles from the Roosevelt Summer house. The metropolitan mercantile and Realty company of New York, capitalized at $1,000,000, has just erected a fine building at 46th street and 8th avenue in that, city, where it will open a mammoth department store. This sounds particularly good. It should succeed, since its success means so very much to hopeful Negroes throughout the country. There is a way to succeed; may it find it. El Paso, Texas, May 29.—Flora Wolf, commonly called "Lady Flo," the Negro woman who set up a claim against the estate of the lade Lord Delaval Beresford as his common law wife, to-day accepted the $10,000 devised to her by the will of Lord Beresford, and an additional $5,000, waiving all claims to the estate and certifying that she was never either in law or in fact the wife of Lord Beresford. New Orleans, La.,—At a ball game on the Ames plantation, just across the river from here, John Lewis, colored, and George Richardson, white, the overseer, were shot and instantly killed this afternoon by Jesse Clark, colored. It is said that Sis Vance, Clark's sweetheart, was among the crowd, and made some remarks about the white people, and Richardson told her to stop the talk at the same time slapped her in the mouth. Clark took up the fight, and drew his revolver at the same instant that Richardson did, but got the first shot and killed Richardson with a bullet through the heart. Lewis jumped forward to catch Richardson as he fell and got the second bullet through his heart. Clark made tracks for the river, as the boat was found at the head of Amelia street. NO. 37. Alain LeRoy Locke of Philadelphia has won another triumph at Harvard University. This time it was the highest in the gift of that University, The Bowdoin Prize. This carries with it, a medal, a public bearing of a thesis, and two hundred and fifty dollars. This only comes at rare intervale, because of its exactions, and among his predecessors to secure this much coveted honor are Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, and James Russell Lowell. Philadelphia is glad that claim may be laid to this gifted son, and the whole race is proud that there is such a rare living exponent to refute the charges made by enemies, as to incapacity. If past success forcast future, there will be still greater achievements at Oxford. The best thing is the modesty of the winner, but his kind do not share it and exaltingly hurrah, with every good wish for the years ahead. Natal, may 25.—Rumors have been circulated that Bambata, the leader of the Zulu rebellion of last year, whose dead body was reported identified, is alive and becoming very active again. A dispatch from Krantzhop says: "There is no question about the matter; upon all sides a firm belief in the existence of the brigand leader is evidenced. If all accounts be true, Bambata has shown conspicuous daring upon more than one occasion since his supposed lamented demise. It is freely stated, for instance, that he paid a visit, in disguise, to his location some little time ago. Various stories as to his 'get up' upon the occasion are prevalent, the one most freely accepted that he represented a native woman, with hair worked into usual headdress and a cotton blanket draping his shoulders. "Very much stress has been put upon the fact that Bambata's own brother recognized the doubtful head as belonging to his relation. He would be a very poor brother indeed, if he were to checkmate the plans and subterfuges of his own kind by giving away unnecessary information." There was a funeral in Biddle street Baptist church in St. Louis Wednesday, over a man who had been shot to death. The attendance was very large. Rev. Mc Claim had finished his discourse, the lodge had gone through with their performances and the people were passing around taking the last view of the corpse. Among those who viewed the remains was a woman upon whom perhaps the dead man had smiled while he was yet in the flesh. At the sight of this woman, the widow of the deceased became enraged and flew at her like a maniac and a free fight took place right then and there. It was some time before order was restored.—Sentinel. TRAIL OF BLOOD HARRY ORCHARD TAKES STAND IN HAYWOOD CASE. TRUTH OR PRODIGIOUS LIAR? Confesses to Committing Wholesale Murder at Instigation of "Inner Circle" of Western Federation of Miners. Boise, Idaho.—There was a busy stir in the court room on the morning of June 5th, and then there fell a silence maintained for fully five minutes. Judge, jury, bar and public waited until Sheriff Shad Hodgin nodded to Senator Borah. "Our next witness will be Harry Orchard," said the senator, quickly, addressing the court. Then the man who for eighteen months has been closely guarded, almost incommunicado, in the Idaho Penitentiary, the murderer, who, repenting, has confessed, entered through the side door leading to the judge's room. He walked with a quick, springy step, preceded and followed by deputies and detectives. They passed through the bar inclosure out into the audience along the outer rail, again entering the inclosure at the center gate. Orchard was sworn and directed to the witness chair immediately in front of the jury. At once every eye was upon the remarkable man who was there to place his own neck in the noose and whose story as told upon the stand reveals an almost endless chain of fearful deeds done by him and his fellows. "Where do you live?" asked Mr. Hawley. Orchard did not seem prepared for just this question, and hesitated a moment. Finally, in an almost inaudible tone he said he was confined in the State Penitentiary. "Speak up, Mr. Orchard," said Senator Borah, "the court must hear you." "Are you charged with any crime?" asked Hawley. The prisoner turned his glance for a moment at Haywood and then said: "I am charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg and am awaiting trial. "I was born in Northumberland county, Canada, in 1866, and am, therefore, forty-one years old." went on the witness in answer to Hawley's questions. "Harry Orchard is not my true name, I have gone by that name for about eleven years. My true name is Alfred Horsley. I came to the United States in 1896, first to Spokane, where I remained a week. I went to Wallace, Idaho, in March or April, 1896. I first worked for Markel Brothers, driving a milk wagon, and remained there until about Christmas, 1896. I then went to a wood and coal yard in Burke, Idaho, and was engaged in that business until the spring of 1899, on my own account for two years. In 1898 I sold a half interest in the business to Mr. McAlpine. My business in Canada was making cheese. Joined W. F. M. in 1899. "I sold all my interests in the woodyard and went to work in the mines in March, 1899. I went to work at 'mucking' and continued at it for a month. I became a member of the Western Federation of Miners as soon as I went to work in the mines." "State what unusual occurrence there was at Burke upon the morning of April 29, 1899," commanded Hawley from the witness. "On the morning of April 29, 1899, when I got through breakfast I was told there was a special meeting of the union and everybody was expected to be present. I went to the meeting. "The meeting was called to order," continued Orchard, "by the secretary, who said it had been decided that day to go to Wardner to blow up the mill at the Sullivan and Bunker Hill mines and hang the superintendent." "Arrangements had been made to cut the wires along the railroad and take possession of a Northern Pacific train. At Gem we were to be joined by the Gem union, and together we were to proceed to Wardner." While the secretary was telling us what was planned by the central union, the president of our local union came in and said he had not been informed of the meeting. When told of the purpose he objected to it, and there was a discussion. The motion to go to Wardner was finally carried by a small majority. After the vote nearly every man decided to go. Took Plenty of Dynamite. "Paul Cochran and six other members of the union took charge of the train. We went to Gem and took forty boxes of giant powder. "There were about 1,000 men upon the train, most of them armed. At Wardner we were told by W. F. Davis, who was in command, to line up. The men with long guns were told to take the front ranks, followed by men with six-shooters. We were told to fire upon the mill as we approached. This we did and the fire was returned by the guards. It soon developed, however, that there were no men in the mill, and we took possession. Powder was placed at three places about the mill and it was blown up." Orchard Lit One Fuse. "Who set fire to the fuse?" "I lit one; I don't know who lit the others." others." Orchard said two men were killed in the affair. "Who was governor of the state at this time?" asked Hawley. "Governor Steunenberg." "Was his name mentioned at the meeting you have described?" "Yes, sir." "Mr. Cochran said he did not believe we would have any opposition from the governor; that we had always supported him and could control him. He said to be careful about interfering with the federal authorities." When the troops came into Idaho, Orchard said he quit work and went to Montana. "Who was president of the Western Federation of Miners at this time?" asked Hawley. "Edward Boyce," replied the wit-ness. Worked at the Vindicator. Orchard worked for a time at Vindicator mine No. 1, near Bull Hill. He left there in August, 1903, going out in the general strike which was on among the miners in the district. Orchard remained in the vicinity for nearly a year, during all of which time the strike was continued. "What were you engaged in during that time?" asked Hawley. "I had no regular occupation," replied Orchard. "What trouble was there at the Vindicator mine in which you were engaged?" The defense objected and the question was temporarily withdrawn. "Where were the headquarters of the federation at this time?" Mr. Hawley asked. "At Denver." "Who was president and who was secretary?" Haywood Was the Secretary. Haywood was the Secretary. "Charles H. Moyer was president and W. D. Haywood was secretary," replied the witness. Mr. Hawley then renewed his question as to the Vindicator mine. It was once more objected to. Judge Wood overruled the objection upon the statement of the counsel for the prosecution that Haywood would be connected with the affair. Judge Wood said that unless Haywood was properly connected with the testimony as given by Orchard he would rule it all out. Confesses to High-Grading. "I had been high-grading in the Vindicator mine," said Orchard. "High-grading is commonly known as stealing high grade ore. I had some powder in the mine," continued Orchard, "and reported the fact to Davis, President of our local. He said he would give me $200 to set the powder off and blow up the mine. The union men had all been called out on strike. I asked a companion, named Scholtz, if he would like to go in with me. He said 'all right,' and that he thought we were justified. We went to the mine and took a couple of shots at the man running the cage. He ran away into a tunnel. We did not find the powder and came out of the mine unmolested. "In November some time W. F. Davis and Sherman Parker, who were in charge of the strike, came to me and asked if we couldn't send a bomb into the Vindicator mine and blow it up. They said they would give me $500 for it. I went to Scholtz about it, but he said he did not want to do it, for they had not paid him for the last time he went into the mine. A man named Ackerman then said he would help me. Killed Two at Grinnie Greek. Killed Two at Cripple Creek. "I got fifty pounds of giant powder and arranged it with giant caps which were to be set off by the lifting of the guard-rail as the cage passed the seventh level. We placed the bomb but did not hear anything of it for about a week, when it finally exploded. Superintendent Charles McCormick and Mel Beak, a shift boss, were killed. "The next day, however, both Davis and Parker were arrested—the day following the meeting at Victor. W. B. Easterly was also arrested, but released on habeas corpus. He went to Denver and I followed him, where I went to see Haywood and Moyer at their offices in the Mining Exchange building. "I knew them only by sight prior to this. I introduced myself and they said they knew me by reputation. Moyer asked me if I wanted any money, and I said not at that time, but later. Moyer said Easterly had told him I had blown up the Vindicator mine and killed McCormick and Beck. Says Haywood Was Pleased. "Haywood told me the blowing up of the mine was a fine piece of work and they were much pleased with it. I talked to Haywood, Moyer and Easterly about the matter. They said there would be nothing further for me but night work for a while. Haywood said he would have to clean those fellows up at Cripple Creek. "Moyer gave me $20 and Haywood later, in Moyer's office, paid me $300 for blowing up the mine. "I returned to Cripple Creek in December, 1903, and since then I have not done any labor. Haywood and Moyer both told me I could not go too fierce to suit them—to go ahead and blow up anything I could think of—to get some of the soldiers if possible. "I went to work and made a couple of bombs with giant powder and dynamite. I was helped by Owney Barnes. I turned one of the bombs over to a man at a saloon who said he was going to throw it. I don't know what became of it. "I wanted money for what I had allread done," continued Orchard Parker told me that several of the boys had been doing little things, and they all wanted money, but it was hard to get, because nothing big had been pulled off. I decided to tell the railroad people, because I wanted my money. The next day I told D. C. Scott of the railroad company. I told him all knew about the matter. Scott wanted me to come back again, and I did see him again. Meantime the bomb in the Vindicator had finally gone off. Scott sent for me again and wanted to know if I knew anything about the explosion. I said no, that I thought it was an accident. "I met Moyer several times during the trials which followed the explosion. Moyer was attending the trials and said he thought we ought not to do anything while the trials were in progress. A man named McKinney testified at one of the trials about a liquid which burned. Moyer told me that we must be careful not to use any of the liquid soon or he might be conceived with it. Plot to Kill Governor Peabody. "They wanted to know if I couldn't work up some scheme to assassinate Governor Peabody of Colorado. They said they couldn't get justice in the courts and the only way to get our rights was to take the law into our own hands. They wanted me first to see if I couldn't get acquainted with Governor Peabody, his ways, etc., and see what chance there was to assassinate him. I proceeded to watch him for some time—at the capitol and at his home on Grant avenue, three blocks from the capitol. "I reported to Haywood and Pettibone that there was a stone wall near Peabody's house, from behind which he could be easily shot. Haywood sald he thought Steve Adams was the best man he knew of for the work. I went to Cripple Creek and saw Adams about it. He said he was ready for it—was ready for any old thing. I gave Adams some money and came away. He said he would come to Denver and telephone me in a few days. Adams followed me to Denver in three days. I saw Adams in the room over Pettibone's store and at headquarters. "Pettibone sold house specialities. I told Haywood and Pettibone that Steve was coming, and they said all right. When Steve came they gave him some money, and Pettibone bought Adams a new suit of clothes and fixed him up. "They also gave Adams and me two sawed-off shotguns and shells loaded with buckshot. The guns were sawed off so we could carry them under our coats. Pettibone gave us the guns. He got them from federation headquarters. "We watched Peabody every night for a week, but didn't see him for a week. We kept after him for three weeks. One night we saw a hack come along and turn in to his residence. We stole up behind it with our guns- expecting to see the governor get out. Only two women alighted, however. After this we e were afraid to go around there, for the women had watched us closely that night. We decided then we would try to use a bomb—digging a hole in the sidewalk and burying it." "Did you tall; to Haywood about this?" "Yes. Pettibone said all right, but Haywood said he did not want this done because the executive board was in session, and he did not want anything to occur for a while. We remained in the city, but didn't go to headquarters much." "What next did you do?" "We were to assassinate Lyte Gregory, a deputy sheriff who had been in the mines. He had also been in Gold field and was against us." "Did you kill him?" "Yes, I believe I did." Meldrum was with Gregory at that time. Orchard then told of running away and hiding his gun. Next day he saw Haywood, Pettibone and Jack Simpkins. "They all expressed themselves as well pleased with the job. They said it was all right with them and he wouldn't get after them very hard, for he thought that whoever bumped Gregory off had done a good job." "Where was Moyer at this time." "He was in jail at Telluride." Orchard said Haywood, Pettibone, Simpkins and Sherman Parker next wanted 'something pulled off' in Cripple Creek. "Haywood and the others said they were having trouble in the convention and there threatened to be a split up, continued Orchard. "They thought that if something was pulled off in Cripple Creek the excitement would make everything all right in the convention and the delegates would go home. We planned then to blow up the Independence station in Colorado. I asked Steve Adams if he wanted to help and he said he did. I gave him the money to get the powder with and we took the powder to a cabin near the station at Independence preparatory to using it the next night. The next day Sherman Parker told me some of the men from the convention were coming up to it. Independence to make an investigation of conditions there and he told us to not pull the thing off until they went away. They went away Sunday morning and that night we placed the powder under the station platform, attached a wire to it and then waited for a train to come in. The trains brought non-union men to Independence. We used 100 pounds of the powder. Fourteen Men Die. "Steve Adams and I both pulled the string which upset several bottles of sulphuric acid. The acid ran over a box of giant caps and these set the powder off. The station was wrecked and twelve or fourteen men were killed. "Then we went to Denver, coming into the city on an electric car. In Denver we met Haywood and Pettibone in Jack Simpkins' room. Kirwan, now the acting secretary of the federation, was also there. Our conversation had to do with the blowing up of the station. Pettibone spoke first and said he was pleased with the job. Haywood also said it was a good thing and that things had gone all right in the convention. He said a lot of follows at Cripple Creek had been arrested and we must lie low till they were out. "I remained in Denver three or four days. The next day Pettibone gave me the $300. Adams told me he had got $200." "Instead of going to the tall timber I went straight back to Denver and saw Pettibone and Haywood. They told me at first I'd better get out of the country. They also told me they had another man working on the Peabody affair. In the latter part of July, 1904, Pettibone got me a railroad ticket and gave me $150 more and I went to San Francisco." Orchard said he had been told to look up Fred Bradley in San Francisco. "I finally located Bradley in San Francisco," said Orchard. "He had been manager of the Sullivan and Bunker Hill mine in Idaho and we were after him. I went to his house one morning and just after the milk was delivered I opened one of the jars and put a lot of powdered strychnine into it. Nothing came of the poison as far as I could learn, so I bought ten pounds of powder—gelatine powder it was. When purchasing the explosive I had to give a name. I have forgotten what the name was. I said I lived outside the city and wanted to blow up some stumps. I put the powder into a lead pipe. This I put up in my grip with some giant caps, a sawed-off shotgun and some other little things. I put the bomb at Bradley's door some time in November, 1904. The bomb was arranged with giant caps, chloride of potassium and sugar being spread over them. It was so arranged that when Bradley opened the door a string attached to it would upset a bottle of sulphuric acid." "What was the result of this?" "When Bradley opened the door the next morning the explosion blew out the whole front of the house and blew him into the street." At this point an early adjournment was taken. Brighton has a bank which adver tises in verse. Work has been started on the new Santa Fe hospital at La Junta. The building is to cost $60,000. The contract for the construction of the Catholic church at Boulder has been let. The cost of the building will be $17,750. Colorado has been trying With all her might and main To duplicate Ohio With mud and slush and rain. The infant son of Max C. Overholt of Loveland swallowed a safety pin, and the child was taken to Denver to insure the safety of the child's life. Only one marriage license was issued in Montrose during the months of April and May, which is something that has not happened in twenty-five years. J. W. Kelly, passenger agent for the Moffat road, and Miss Eselyn Brown, society editor of the Denver Post, hitched up in double blessedness recently. The State Agricultural College has informed Montrose farmers and citizens that they will be given a farmers' institute beginning August 16th. The college will send four speakers. Louis H. Kephard of Holly shipped 2,600 sheep, which brought the highest price in the Kansas City market ever paid for sheep. Shorn lambs brought 8 cents, and the wool lambs 7.9 cents. The ladies of Eaton now use fine stationery with their monograms embossed on it. When it comes to knowing how to do the proper thing Eaton isn't so very far behind New York, after all. John Peabody, half-brother of exGovernor James H, Peabody, died at the Place sanitarium at Boulder. He had been a resident there for three years and part of that time was store-keeper. The Pueblo City Council has sidetracked an ordinance which was recently introduced providing that dealers in Colorado Fuel and Iron and smelter scrip take out a license for $300 annually. Acting upon the complaint of numerous citizens of Grand Junction, the City Council instructed the chief of police and city attorney to arrest and prosecute all druggists who are selling liquor other than in original bottles or packages. Mrs. Mary Sheehan, wife of Jerry Sheehan of Montrose, fell down stairs at her home on the Sheehan ranch west of town, and sustained concussion of the brain. Her injuries may prove fatal. Mrs. Sheehan has lived near Montrose for twenty-five years. The committee in charge of raising the funds for the erection of a Y. M. C. A. building at Cripple Creek announced that the $25,000 has been subscribed, and that construction work would soon be commenced. The structure will be modern, with a gymnasium, Turkish bath, reading rooms and lecture rooms. The Eagle Valley stockgrowers have passed a resolution asking for a special meeting of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association June 17th for the purpose of securing the official backing of that organization in the fight which is being made on the national forest reserve policy as outlined by Gifford Pinchot. The cattle growers' associations in the Glenwoods Springs section have been holding meetings for the purpose of naming delegates to the convention to be held June 19th and 20th in Denver, to discuss the public land question. Many members of the associations will attend the convention in addition to the five delegates allowed each association. After living four years like a hermit and existing only upon bread and water, James McClair was brought in Divide to Cripple Creek by Sheriff Von Phil and placed in the county jail. McClair wears his beard and hair long, a leather strap resembling sandals for shoes, and a woman's jacket in place of a coat. The man has been living in a cave about one mile from Divide. B. B. Sipe, secretary and treasurer of the Colorado Funeral Directors' Association, has just issued the program for the tenth annual convention to be held at Glenwood Springs July 10th to 12th. Among the important questions to come up is the fixing of a uniform price for burial of paupers. Probate law amendment and exemption from jury service will also be discussed. The merchants of Colorado Springs are beginning an advertising campaign to work up trade among the farmers. Excursions will be run to towns along the line of railroads and other means will be employed to interest the ranchmen living in the more isolated sections. The repairing of the roads, by the county commissioners, will, it is expected, encourage the ranchmen to do their trading in Colorado Springs. A fight over electric light rates at Manitou has resulted in the contract for lighting the town for the next five years being awarded to the Manitou Electric Company, of which Dr. W. A. Bell, now residing in England, is the head. The Manitou company's rival was the Pike Peak Hydro-Electric Company. The original bids submitted were rejected by Mayor Nichols because of a technicality, and the second bids submitted did not change the result. The body found on an island in the Grand river, near Rifle, has been identified as that of L. J. Golding, the holdup who committed an assault on Fred Kinney three weeks ago. There was a bullet wound in the stomach and several scars on the head and body, supporting the description of the holdup given by Kinney. In the man's pockets were found a bottle of whisky, a bottle of absinthe and several cartridges. While walking along the Denver & Rio Grande railroad tracks near the Fifth street crossing, at Grand Junction, John Harris, a tramp, was struck by passenger train No. 1 and hurled twenty feet, rolling down a steep embankment. He scrambled to his feet, however, and began running at the top of his speed. In the afternoon he limped into the depot and was taken to a surgeon's office, where it was found that his right knee had been badly hurt.

THREE PROVINCES ARE NOW IN ACTIVE REVOLT. 1,000 FALL IN ONE BATTLE Revolutionary Movement Designs to Overthrow the Manchu Dy- nasty in China. Revolt broke out on May 22d, when when rebels killed the military and civil authorities at Wong Kong, but the news did not reach the world until this week. Three provinces are now in active revolt. Battle raging between the rebels and Imperial troops near Swatow. Chang Chow, one of the important cities of China, is also threatened with attack. Estimates place total number of rebels at from 50,000 to 100,000. The rebels aim to overthrow the Manchu dynasty, which is said to be seriously threatened. Rebels are killing every official captured. Amoy, China.—A great battle between the imperial troops and rebels is reported in progress near Swatow. Thousands of men are engaged. No word has been received here as to which side has the best of the fighting. While the movements of the rebel and imperial armies are not definitely known, it is believed the soldiers were able to overhaul the revolutionists in the race for Swatow. It is hoped the troops will be able to prevent the rebels from capturing the seaport, but it is admitted by the authorities that the issue is in doubt. Fighting in the recent battle, while not long continued, was of the fiercest character. In a very short engagement nearly 1,000 men fell. The rebels were heaviest losers in the fight and quickly retired. It is believed only their advance guard was engaged and that with the arrival of reinforcements the struggle for the possession of Swatow was resumed. That the rebels in the neighborhood of Swatow far outnumber the troops in well known. Reports are that as many as 30,000 armed men are in the rebel army. It is doubtful if the imperial forces number over 4,000 men. The soldiers, of course, have the advantages of training and discipline and superior arms, but it is known that many former army officers are with the rebels, and they have been able to bring the rebel forces to a higher state of efficiency than usually obtains among revolutionists. Throughout China the situation is much worse, and every dispatch says the revolt is spreading. Another rebel army was reported near Chang Chow, threatening to attack that city, one of the largest in Foklen province. Three provinces are now affected by the revolt, and agitators have been dispatched into other provinces to arouse the natives. If Swatow falls into the hands of the revolutionists it will give great impetus to the revolutionary movement disigned to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. Serious Wreck in Texas. San Antonio, Tex.—One man was instantly killed and a score of persons injured, some of them fatally, by the wrecking of eastbound passenger train No. 8 on the morning of June 2nd, two miles west of Lozier, a small station on the Southern Pacific. The derailment was the result either of train wreckers or defective steel, though the positive cause had not been discovered. The train was dashing along at a speed of thirty-five to forty miles an hour when the derailment occurred. Every car on the train was derailed, two of them turning over. The dead and wounded were in the chair car, this being one of the cars to turn over. The dead: W. B. Jacks, Sanderson, Texas. The injured include: Chester Aldrich, Big Springs, Texas; deep scalp cut on back of head; injured internally; will die. Mrs. F. C. Ball, El Paso, Texas; wounds on wrists and head. Infant of Mrs. Ball; contusions on head; will die. C. A. Lewis, El Paso, back injured. Mrs. Maud Lewis; bruised and cut in left side. N. E. Carter, El Paso; cut and bruised about arms and hands. S. H. Sherod, El Paso; bruises on body. Mrs. Sarah Hankeman, El Paso; bruises on body. Cut Out Middlemen. Omaha, Neb.—The fight between the packers and the stock commission men over the purchases of "she stuff" subject to post-mortem examination, took a new turn when Armour & Co. purchased 320 cows direct from the cattle raisers, subject to the new rule of the packers governing this class of live stock. Commission men at all yards are advising shippers and raisers to ship stock until the new order is rescinded. This is the first break in the cattle growers' line. Armours' manager said the "she stuff" was purchased at "normal fluges," but refused to state the actual price. Commission dealers upon the live stock exchange are wrought up over the direct purchase by packers from the shippers instead of having the sale pass through their hands. Overdose of Medicine Kills Girl. Fort Collins, Colo. — Miss Elva Kauffman, secretary of the North Poudre Irrigation Company, died as a result of takin an overdose of medicine which her physician had left as a remedy for toothache. Miss Kauffman during the past week has been suffering severely from toothache in connection with her wisdom tooth, which she had had pulled. Her dentist, it is said, used cocaine in order to render his work painless, and the cocaine, together with the medicine taken which had been left for her by a physician, caused her death from heart failure. MAY BRING CRIMINAL CHARGES. President Roosevelt Considers Putting E. H. Harriman On the Rack. Washington.—The question as to whether the government will enter prosecution against E. H. Harriman for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law was considered at the conference at the White House between President Roosevelt and Franklin K. Lane, interstate commerce commissioner. Lane was with the President more than an hour, and on leaving announced that before July 1st legal proceedings would be instituted to Compel Harriman to answer certain questions propounded to him by members of the commission at the recent hearing in New York when the Alton deal was under investigation. Previous to his conference with the President, Lane conferred with Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel for the government in the Harriman investigations. Kellogg, it is understood, will have a conference with the President some time this week, and later will go to New York to institute suit against Harriman to compel him to answer questions regarding the Alton transaction. At this conference all the members of the commission will be present and it will be definitely decided what action the administration is to make in regard to the criminal prosecution against Harriman. The proceedings against Harriman will be brought in the courts of the Southern district of New York. Whether the prosecution or the defense should win, the case will be appealed to higher courts, and ultimately to the Supreme Court of the United States. According to opinions already expressed by members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, it may be a year or more before a final decision can be reached. For these reasons it was announced several weeks that the commission did not intend to await the result of these proceedings before taking action on the general subject of the investigation of the Harriman lines. Now Up to the President. Washington.—It will now depend on the President what action shall be taken, and when, against the anthracite coal trust, the reports, however, being that action of some kind may be expected within two weeks. The first substantial attack on the coal carrying roads and their dealings with their allies, the coal operators, their various and intricate methods of discriminations, rebates, freezing out of independent operators, denial of car service and the whole category of violations of law by the mine and railroad combine, was made in the case of Hearst against this enormous combination. The Interstate Commerce Commission has volumes of evidence taken by Clarence J. Shearn, attorney on behalf of Mr. Hearst, and its general character is well known to the public. After the evidence in the case had been brought in and filed, a great deal of it having been obtained only after a fight in the United States Supreme Court to compel the coal barons to produce their contracts, which was deemed essential by the Interstate Commerce Commission to prove the case, Congress took hold of the subject and passed resolutions of inquiry into the coal roads and their methods on lines parallel to the proceedings in the Hearst case. Messrs. Todd and Simpson were appointed special attorneys by the President to look into the subject of both anthracite and bituminous coal and the relations of the shipment of these commodities to the railroads and the mine owners. It is stated that the Todd-Simpson report has been received and that it furnished evidence that the railroads investigated are liable under the Sherman anti-trust law. It is said that the attorneys went back ten years to get data. It is assumed here that these attorneys, in order to complete their record, availed themselves of the United States Supreme Court decisions in favor of Mr. Hearst to examine the contracts of the railroads under the railroad investigation. Because of that investigation there was nothing to prevent the railroads and mine owners from refusing to permit an examination of their written records. If action be taken under the Sherman law, there are alternatives of fines or imprisonment. An enormous aggregations of capital are involved in these cases as defendants, and their practices have continued over many years, as shown in the Hearst evidence, the fines would run up into the millions if the government succeeded in convicting the corporations. Whether individuals will be indicted is still a mooted question in the Department of Justice, but as the form of procedure has been apparently referred to the White House, the responsibility will lie therein in the form of action to be taken. Pullman Company Called On Carpet. Denver.—The Pullman company may be brought to book in Colorado as it has been in Missouri. It is claimed that an illegal agreement and usurious charges are maintained here and that this is in violation of the company's charter. There is a question of taxes involved in the matter, too, and unless the Pullman company squares things with Secretary of State O'Connor before July 1st of this year it may be threatened with revocation of the charter under which it does business in Colorado. June 1st was to have been the final day of grace, but Secretary of State O'Connor was late in serving his notices and therefore the time was extended to July 1st. The successful war which has been waged against the Standard Oil, the Pullman company and other predatory corporations in Missouri and Kansas has emboldened other long-suffering states to rebel. Colorado is leading the fight by beginning with the Pullman company, which charges the wayfarer a young fortune for the privilege of sleeping in one of its berths.

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE. IT is high time that Colorado was getting in shape to send a big representative delegation to the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, which holds its eighth annual session in the hall of the House of Representatives at Topeka on August 14th, 15th and 16th, next. Leading business men from all over the country will be there. The meeting will inspire new business efforts in every community represented. We need the inspiration in Denver and in every other city in the state. Let representatives of the different leagues get ready to go to Topeka. Let everybody else go who can. It will be a splendid opportunity for all who contemplate a visit to Kansas. The round trip rate will be one and one-third fares or less. Make your plans now. AWAY FROM HOME. PROOF that the American navy will not allow a wilfully murderous assault upon a citizen of the United States by foreigners in a foreign country to go unresented, when resentment is possible, whether that citizen be white or black, was given in a press dispatch from Puerto Cortez, Honduras last month, when Commander Fullam of the U. S. Gunboat Marietta, caused his sailors to arrest the chief of police and several policeman of that Central American city and place them in irons, for an unjustifiable attack upon a Negro from Louisiana named Davis. Davis was an inspector for a prominent steamship line plying between Gulf ports; while talking with friends ashore he was threatened by a drunken soldier with a machete, and he promptly took the soldier's weapon from him. Soon a squad of soldiers and police arrived and arrested Davis, and while dragging him to jail, beat him into insensibility. Thinking that Davis was dying, the Hondurans took him back where they arrested him and threw him on the ground in the sun, but refused to allow his companions to remove him into the shade. Physicians found him perhaps fatally wounded. Within ten minutes, the dispatches say, the blue-jackets of the Marietta were on the spot. Commander Fullam's orders were: "Arrest the chief of police and the policemen engaged in the assault, put them in irons and send them aboard ship. Arrest the Nicaraguan officers and men engaged in the assault and hold them for orders." The men arrested face trial by court martial, and in the event of Davis' death may be hanged from the yardarm of a United States war ship. These prompt and strenuous measures were taken because in that country, where war was lately rife, her was little show of civil or other authority, and adequate punishment was not apt to otherwise overtake the offenders. As the case stands they will be pretty sure to learn something about the views of United States naval officers respecting their duty to afford protection to citizens of the United States. Commander Fullam's attitude in this case was made necessary by the apparent intent of the native policemen and soldiers to show their contempt for Americans in general. And this particular feeling is liable to be at the bottom of every vicious conflict between foreigners and Americans on foreign soil, whenever local strife is present and American rights or property is in any way jeopardized. Had the affair occurred in any greater country, we have no doubt that the action of the American naval commander, if present, would have followed the same principle, although if the local civil authority were ample and assumed to be just, a demand for the conviction of the offenders in their own courts would have taken the place of the arrest by our own sailors. The features of this case ought to afford considerable satisfaction to all Americans, though doubtless there have been many who, in their blind prejudice, have overlooked the principle involved; they must be gratifying to all colored Americans, for they permit them to realize that, in the eyes of national authority, a Negro of respectability and worth, no less than any other individual, is a man and a citizen when he is away from home. SEEKING NEGRO LABOR. WE are led by the unusual and extraordinary character of the case to make gratuitous mention of a full page display advertisement running in The Advocate, the bright and progressive Negro journal of Charleston, West Virginia, intended to attract colored coal miners to that state. Two thousand colored men, with or without families, are invited to West Virginia at once for permanent employment and residence. "Men are not wanted for a few months' work, nor to take the place of strikers," says the advertisement. The thousands of well-to-do colored miners already in that field are cited and then follow the following inducements: "In West Virginia there is no discrimination in the public school laws. The colored schools have the same length of term that the white schools have, and the colored teachers are paid the same salaries that white teachers are paid. At present there are 50,000 colored people in the state, and for these the state maintains three state schools. At these schools collegiate, academic, military and industrial education can be had. In addition to this the state supports a Colored Orphans' home, reform school for girls, and colored people are admitted to all the humane institutions. There are no Jim Crow cars, disfranchisement laws or other discriminations common to other southern states, and political freedom is undenied. Other features, such as good quarters and surroundings, various fraternal societies, good wages, and freedom from many ill conditions sometimes found in coal mining districts, and finally, the offer to pay transportation from any place in the United States; and we have a summary of what appears to us to be a very remarkable offer. We give this extended notice of this advertisement because, with the names of some of the most prominent officials and business men of the state as references, it means something in an industrial way. A special effort is undoubtedly being made to place as many Negroes as possible in the West Virginia coal fields. The special desirability of this class of labor must have been reliably decided upon by parties in highest interest. Negro mine labor is efficient—there is no doubt of that fact; it is safe and steady, and not given so much to concerted disturbance as other elements, particularly foreign elements have proved to be; and no new evils, dangerous to established American ideals have ever been known to grow up in a community of Negro laborers of this or any similar class. When one looks at the situation soberly and clearly, as it is made up by the apparent competition of classes in the labor field, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Negro is a valuable asset with capital, possibly against its will, has long been induced to ignore. But no good has come from the condition which has sought to place him out of competition, and no injury, either to society or business interests, can arise out of any experiment in any particular state whereby the real value of this element may be measured. The conditions are particularly favorable in West Virginia for the reception and maintenance of a very large colored population, and the employment of a large per cent. of it in the coal fields. But that state is not necessarily alone in that particular possibility. The opportunity offered there in such earnest suggests the worth of a similar trial in certain other states. The eastern anthracite fields are probably too solidly packed with foreigners to invite a conflict of elements, with the labor unions, of course, solidly opposed, but possibly Ohio, Illinois, and some of the newer fields of the West, including Colorado, could well afford to consider the example of West Virginia. For particulars in the latter state, any of our readers may address J. M. Hazlewood, agent, 22 Capitol street, Charleston, West Virginia, apprising him of your source of information, in the Colorado Statesman.

Come Early and Stay Late Is Being Vigorously Pushed Through-out the Country. The advocates of African emigration are quite jubilent over the fact that a deep interest is being manifested throughout the country for the project. Mr. J. N. Walker, of this city, who is president of the Colorado African Colonization Company, with headquarters in Denver, is a faithful and untire-som worker in the cause. He has not only put in over 22 years in its behalf but has spent several thousand dollars to promote an interest in the work and with the exception of about $4, it was all his hard earned money. This fact alone is a sufficient guarantee that he is quite sincere in the emigration scheme which will no doubt prove a betterment of the condition of race. Much enthusiasm in the work was created by Mr. Walker during his recent trip through the South and many are looking forward to next April, when Mr. Walker expects to sail with a colony for Liberia. There are already at least fifty families in Chicago that will be among the list. It is indeed a source of gratification to state that Mr. Walker is a man whose honesty is above reproach. His feasible outline of the great possibilities has set the people to thinking and he is constantly receiving much press publicity for his logical interviews. The Denver Evening Post of a few days ago devoted a full page editorial to Mr. Walker and African emigration. Following are a few recommendations from some of Denver's most prominent and influential citizens: To whom it may concern:I take pleasure in recommending to the consideration of the public the proposition of Mr. J. N. Walker as to the proposed colonization of his fellow colored citizens. Mr. Walker is President of the Colorado African Colonization Company, which has for its object the settlement of the race problem, and he is thoroughly familiar with the various phases of that perplexing question. I trust that he will meet with generous support of his philanthropic enterprise as I know him to be a trustworthy man deserving of confidence. Very truly yours, JAMES B. BELFORD. To whom it may concern:—The bearer of this letter, Mr. J. N. Walker, is one of the most intelligent and trustworthy colored men residing in Denver, and I take pleasure in recommending him the favorable consideration of all who may be interested in promoting the welfare of the race to which he belongs. He is president of the Colorado African Colonization Co., which has for its object the establishment of colonies of American Negroes in Liberia on lands to be granted for this purpose by the Liberian government. He has given this subject much attention and I hope he will receive the sympathy and support of all who favor the movement. Very truly yours, R. GAUSS, Editorial writer of the Denver Republican.

This was demonstrated some time ago at Jacksonville, Fla., and again the other day at Montgomery, Ala., when two Southern judges declared in the face of an adverse public sentiment the separate street car law was unconstitutional and that the said law was unreasonable and unjust in its application. Surely the Negro is coming into his own when such men who hold office through the graces of democracy altogether, make such decisions, setting aside such laws, and recognizing the Negro as a man and brother.

WILLIAM HARRIS, Administrator of the Estate of Ella Harris Deceased. Joseph H. Stuart, Attorney for Administrator. The belief that the hours of sleep should be artificially restricted is prevalent. Yet it is contrary to ordinary good sense. If the human body does not need sleep for the upbuilding of its tissues it will not call for it. A rule of health which can not be wrong is to sleep, if possible, as long as any inclination for it exists. The erroneous view on this subject is undoubtedly due to the fact that when the mind and body are thoroughly rested it is often difficult to arouse the mind from its comfortable lethargy. On the other hand, the man who is under a mental strain and sleeps only five or six hours at night is keen and alert soon after awakening. But it is an unhealthy activity. His nerves are at a high tension. He is on edge, so to speak. Such a strain, long continued, results inevitably in a nervous breakdown.

THE PLATTNER IMPLEMENT CO. 1612-1618 15th St. Denver, Cola COAL DEALER RUNS AMUCK Beats Court Judge With Seal But Has His "Form Pied" When He Encounters Old Pressmen. Breckenridge, Colo.—County Judge J. W. Swisher was the victim of a vicious assault in his chamber by Thomas B. Thompson, distributor for the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, who used the official seal of the court to beat the judge over the head. He struck him repeatedly with the weapon, and Judge Swisher, besides severe bruises, has a gash over the left temple that bled so profusely as to cover the floor with blood. After disabling the judge Thompson locked horns with white hairied Colonel J. R. Oliver, who many years ago was a pressman in Denver when the papers came out on hand presses. In those days Oliver was called the strongest man in the territory and was nicknamed "Sampson." Thompson is a very burly and active man in the prime of life, but he was glad to have someone hold him after Oliver seized him. Thompson rushed to the police judge and pleaded guilty to assault and battery, possibly thinking to get off easily, but was fined $100 and costs. He paid the fine and then wanted to appeal the case, but was told there was no appeal when the defendant voluntarily pleaded guilty to a charge made by himself. He then swore out a warrant for Judge Swisher, Colonel Oliver, Sam Swisher and A.L. Wood, who was not present at the fracas, charging them with insulting him. Owing to the absence of District Judge Hogan, the police judge ordered the case set for hearing June 10th. A warrant has been sworn out by Judge Swisher charging Thompson with assaulting him with a deadly weapon, and Thompson has been placed under a bond of $500 for his appearance. The disturbance arose over a column article in the Breckenridge Bulletin, owned by Swisher, which excoriated the local coal dealers, who are T. B. Thompson and C. A. Finding. Finding is the man who for weeks dodged H. C. Clay whose wife he was charged with leading astray. He had Denver detectives protecting him, as Clav was supposed to be hunting him with a gun. For many weeks the coal trust here has had no coal to supply customers, even at the exorbitant rate of $6.75 and $7 a ton. Coal was formerly $5.50 a ton here in car lots, and the Bulletin has written up the trust every chance it has had for its predatory methods of business. THE REWARD OF PATIENCE. High Line Ditch to Finally to Be Improved. Denver. After more than a quarter of a century the and owners who plinned their faith to the High Line ditch for a water supply are to be rewarded, and within a year, instead of receiving a full supply of water for two months and a scant supply during the rest of the year, they will have an absolute supply the year round. Fifteen years ago Bradford Du Bois and C. G. Richardson, tramped through the mountains along the Platte river and tributaries, locating a reservoir site on Goose creek, just above the great Cheesman dam, and another site known as the Antero site, thirty-five miles north of the Cheesman dam. Almost immediately thereafter Mr. Richardson, who was the controlling owner in the ditch enterprise, died; his estate was taken into the courts—where it still is, incidentally—and the entire enterprise received what was for sometime thought to be a death-blow. It had no sooner been started on the road to recovery when the panic of 1893 nearly finished it; since that time it has been struggling along, behind it a few faithful ones who refused to give up. Among these faithful ones, none worked harder for final success than Bradford DuBois, and it was he that gave out the information yesterday that enough money had been subscribed to insure the building of the two reservoirs, sites for which he and Mr. Richardson located so many years ago. Mr. DuBois said: "The High Line ditch enterprise is now being rejuvenated—in fact, it is rejuvenated, and the work of building our two reservoirs will be started very soon and carried to an early completion. There are 450 users, owning 24,000 acres; we will now be in a position to take on 5,000 acres, and will do it at $20 an acre; and it will not cost present patrons more than $5 an acre for additional rights—perhaps it will not cost more than $2,00. "Our Antero reservoir will have a capacity of 5,000,000 cubic feet of water and our Goose Creek Creek reservoir will have a capacity of 1,500,000,000 cubic feet. "Our reservoir rights have prescedence over the Cheesman dam water rights. The High Line ditch is east of the city; it was begun in 1877 and completed in 1879. "With the completion of our new reservoir we will have practically unlimited water supply, and where our present users are getting all the water they want for only two months of the year, they will have all the water they want twelve months in the year. We will have one of the best water propositions in the state—and the most valuable." Weather Kills Many. Chicago.—The weather has been the undertakers' greatest friend for the first five months of the present year, according to the statement of mortality for that period, issued by W. A. Evans, M. D., commissioner of health for Chicago. People have been dying in Chicago during the period named at the alarming average of about 105 a day. All told, there were 15,103 deaths reported to the bureau of vital statistics. This means an annual mortality rate of 17.32 a thousand of the estimated population. This is one-sixth, or 16.7 per cent, higher than the rate for the corresponding period of last year, and 13.4 per cent, higher than the average of the previous decade. --- THREE GIGANTIC WATER PLANTS. Colorado Concern Files Papers Giving Mortgage of $20,000,000. Denver.—If it were possible to put a belt around Pike's Peak that famous old mountain could be moved from its foundations at one pull from the three power plants that are to be established by the Central Colorado Power Company, which concern filed in the county clerk's office a mortgage of $20,000,000 in which is given the first authentic information concerning the plans of this gigantic concern. The producing capacity of the three plants will be 125,000 horse-power— enough to pull forty of the New York Central's big trains combined and whirl them over the track at the rate of 100 miles an hour. Four hundred Denver street cars would be an easy load attached to a cable transmitting 125,000 horse power. Niagara Falls, with its vast volume of water, in two power stations on the American side, produces 150,000 horse power, representing what Denver electrical engineers say is the biggest electrical power plant in the world. And the three plants of the Central Colorado Power Company will be only 25,000 horse power behind that mark. Myron T. Herrick, former governor of Ohio, is the chief financial backer of the concern. The names of David Moffat, Simon Guggenheim and others of prominence in Colorado financial circles have been frequently mentioned in connection with the company's project, but these names are not to be found in the document filed last night. It was stated by one in authority that the finances to back the project will not come from the men hitherto believed to be heavily interested, but that New York and foreign capital will be in control. The unusual mortgage was filed at 8 o'clock last night by Lunt, Brooks & Wilcox, attorneys of Colorado Springs, and Curtis & Hine, managers for the Central Colorado Power Company. It was filed simultaneously in seven other counties—Larimer, Grand, Summit, Lake, Eagle, Pitkin, and Garfield. The mortgage provides that the company maintain offices in New York, London and Paris. The General Electric Securities Company of New York and Lee Higgins & Co., of Boston, took one-third of the underwriting, while the balance was placed in the French and British capitals. The mortgage provides for denominations of $500 and $1,000 American money. £200 for the English market and 500 francs for the French. The bonds are five per cents., to run twenty years. The property covered includes the DeRemer water power locations at Shoshion Falls, above Glenwood Springs, where work is already under way. The development by this plant alone will be 25,000 horse power. Next in importance is the famous Gore canon plant, which has been acquired by the company. This was formerly known as the New Century—a power project the possibilities of which have long been known, but development of which has been hindered by lack of funds. A third power plant will be located on the Roaring Fork, near Agpen, and this, it is expected, will have a capacity of 25,000 horse power. In addition the company will have six of the largest storage reservoirs in the West, two on the Upper Roaring Fork and four on the Grand river. The mortgage indicates that Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Leadville, Cripple Creek and numerous mining camps are to be supplied with power. Grubstake Gets a Blow: San Francisco, Cal.-The United States Circuit Court has rendered a decision that is of vital importance to all mining communities, and which will have a direct bearing in cases pending in many states. The court holds that a "grubstake" agreement, that time-honored institution sacred to all mining men, is not legally collectible. The decision is made in a case wherein "Swiftwater Bill" Gates was sued by Isaac L. Marks of this city to recover $150,000 on an agreement made by Marks and Gates in Seattle on April 27, 1902. The agreement was that in consideration of $1,000 paid by Marks to Gates the latter was to transfer twenty per cent. of all the property which should be acquired either by location, purchase or otherwise in Alaska by Gates. The evidence showed that Gates owed Marks $11,225, which was wiped out by Marks, and Gates was given the sum of $1,000 in cash when the agreement was made. Gates went to Alaska and acquired property valued at $750,000, out of which Marks demanded $150,000 as his share under the agreement. A demurrer was entered on the ground that the contract was so unjust and inequitable as not to entitle the applicant to relief. The demurrer was sustained and the case dismissed. An appeal was then taken. Judge Gilbert in his decision states that "the written contract was a bargain made in the dark. It bound Gates during his lifetime to transfer to Marks one-fifth interest in all property of whatever description he might acquire in Alaska by whatever means, whether by location, purchase, gift or inheritance, the value of which neither party could estimate even approximately. Judge Gilbert quotes Justice Bradley of Missouri in a case of a somewhat similar nature, where the court says: "He comes into court with a very bad grace when he asks to use its extraordinary power to put him in possession of $30,000 worth of stock for which he only paid $50. The court is not bound to shut its eyes to the evident character of the transaction. It will never lend its ald to carry out an unconsiderable bargain, but will leave the party to his remedy at law." Farmers Buy 1,293 Acres. Wheatland, Wyo.—During May the Wyoming Development Company, owning the irrigation system which waters Wheatland farms, sold 1,293 acres of irrigated land for $65,840.90. The greater part of the land was purchased by farmers from Loveland, Colorado. 4,000 CRUSHED TO DEATH. News of Disastrous Earthquake In China Just Reported. Victoria, B. C.—The steamer Shawmut brought the news of a disastrous loss of life following an earthquake at Hsing Kiang. A telegram received from Peking by the Nishi Shimun at Tokio shortly before the Shawmut sailed, reported that four thousand persons were crushed to death, a vast number of houses destroyed and many persons left starving. The Empress Dowager has telegraphed urgent instructions to the local government to take measures to relieve the distress. Find Cause of Tuberculosis. Atlantic City, N. J.—The convention of the Anti-Tuberculosis League sounded an emphatic warning against what is characterized as the greatest peril of to-day—raw milk. Nathan Strauss of New York was to have been present, but sent in his place Dr. Arthur Green, who read a paper. Cliting the demonstration of Dr. Schroeder and the findings of the British Royal Commission on Tuberculosis, Dr. Green said: "In the face of these irrefutable conclusions of science it is criminal folly to rest in the ignorance of the past and to minimize the danger of raw milk. It is not easy to get the public to do something. This is the tendency made by men who are ignorant of the unfortunate misstatements these demonstrations. Their careless brushing aside of the milk peril is calculated to lull the people into a sense of security where there is no safety. "Regard for human life demands that the proved facts of the peril of tuberculosis in the milk be admitted and declared, not denied. "Then the remedy will come in the pasteurization of the milk supplies where there is no positive proof of the origin of the milk from healthy cattle and of its protection from infection." Mining at Breckenridge. Breckenridge, Colo.—The Gold Dust property in Illinois Gulch and the West Side concentration mill are being put in shape for operations by California investors. A new set of crushing rolls, weighing several tons, and a new Wilfley concentrating table are being put in the mill, which already contains three Wilfley concentrating tables and a Wilfley slimer. The property will be operated through the Puzzle extension shaft temporarily while a new tunnel is being driven to the vein. Heretofore the Gold Dust has been worked through the main tunnel of the Puzzle, with which it is connected by a cross-cut drift 300 feet long. The present operators offered a rental of $100 per month for the privilege of working through the Puzzle tunnel, which is about 3,000 feet long, but not being able to secure the privilege will work through a shaft for the present and later on will drive a tunnel to the vein. The mine has a record of being a good shipper of heavy lead, silver, gold ore and, it is said, there is lots of second-class ore suitable for concentration in the stopes and old workings of the Gold Dust. It will probably take a couple of weeks to put the mill in good order for regular operation. The Gold Dust vein is said to be from three to eleven feet wide, most of the vein matter, being suitable for concentration. It is reported a six-inch streak of heavy galena ore has been opened in a drift from the Minnie tunnel on Mineral Hill. The Minnie was formerly a good producer of heavy lead silver ore and the concentration mill on the property made a good grade of concentrates from the second-class material. The property is operated by the Swastika Gold Mining & Milling Company. The Wellington Mines Company is putting out lots of zinc lead ore since the wagon road has become passable for heavy handing. Some four to six four-horse ore teams make three trips daily from the mine to therailway. Last week between thirty-five and forty tons of heavy lead silver ore were shipped to the Chamberlain-Dillingham branch sampler at Breckenridge. The Jessie Consolidated Gold Mines Company expects to start up its forty-stamp and concentration mill in a few days, as a great deal of ore has accumulated in doing recent development work. Manager James T. Hogan expects to see the construction of a 300-ton capacity cyanide process mill at the Jessie well under way before autumn. The ore is of a character well suited to cyanide treatment and a considerable increase in the profits of operating is expected when the new mill is in operation. Five churn, or oil well, drills are being used at present by the Colorado Gold Dredging Company to prospect and chart the riches of gold-bearing placer territory in both the Swan and Blue river valleys.

Stars and Bars Hauled Down. Washington.—One hundred armed Confederate veterans from Tennessee, carrying the stars and bars, were today denied admission to the United States capitol until after they had lowered their flag and were disarmed. The old soldiers came to Washington from the Richmond reunion, and after visiting the White House marched down Pennsylvania avenue to the capitol. The capitol police informed them that they would be allowed admission to the capitol only as private citizens and not as an organized body. Congressman John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, who accompanied the veterans, entered a protest, but it did no good. ```markdown ``` The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

Yesterday I missed her from her accustomed place in the crystal bowl, and, panic-stricken, searched the neighborhood in rain. Even the garden, unlikely spot, was desperately explored. Returning, I saw to my horror, in a corner of the house remote from the gold-fish room, the usually well-behaved cat toying with the escaped fish. Rescue was the work of a moment.

"Why have you taken your son out of school without asking permission?"

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. An III Wind, Etc. "Her marriage was very unfortunate, wasn't it?" "Oh, no; she considers it quite fortunate." "Why, I understand she was divorced." "Exactly, and her divorce was the opening of her stage career, which is now very promising." Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don't think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

"A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nerve-destroying regular coffee for any money." "There's a Reason."

For the dress. sleeve proper now reduces itself to practically an epaulette—a very short puff at the utmost—and the sleeve that actually covers the arm to the elbow comes out.of the arm-hole as a Se 'ges affair, making believe, as it wer, to appertain to an under-blouse, even thongh no blouse be there. This fs described as “kimono” fashion, though with not much more exactitude than the existing short-waisted style is “Empire.” However, the Japanese “kimono” cut is the idea, the original model, from which these new shoulder and armhole effects have “evoluted;” that is certain. The shoulder cut all in one with the front of the bodice, thus giving a very long effect on the top of the shoulder, and the extremely wide and low cut under armhole, make A very characteristic feature in the new models, and fulfill the object of our dictators, the dress-producers, in compelling us to restock our Ward- robes. As an undersleeve. appearins out of the wide, full, and often draped epau- letted sleeve, there usually comes, to reach to the elbow only, a puff of some fancy or fragile and celfeate ‘fabric, as lace, broderie Anglaise, soft satin, embroidered gauze, or pleated tulle. ‘This undersleeve is made of the more fragile fabric, Irrespective of whether that is used elsewhere om the dress, although, as a genera! rule, more or less of the material ofthe sleeve will be seen introduced some- how. The effect of the “kimono™ cut, with the lighter sort of undersleeve coming out of the wide armhole, is naturally much the same as |: would be if there were a separate blouse be- ing worn, to which the undersleeres belonged; and in fact this is the case sometimes, the corsage being a bolero without any more sleeves thaa_ the “kimono” cut gives, and a blouse is worn beneath. showing down the front and as the elbow sleeves. Frequently. however, the whole corsage is in one, and a yoke, or a vest down the front, or only a V at the throat. is of the same material as the sleeves, all placed on one fitted lining with the rest of the bodice. cA rf Ss —; mw 1/34!

Millinery Ideas of the Moment Lena Themselves Well to Pretty Ar rangements That Will De- light the Eye. It is evident that not only have the milliners invaded the florists’ domain, but that the latter have retaliated in good earnest, for their windows bear a striking resemblance to the show windows of a millinery shop in which hats, ribbon and lace vie with the fragrant beauties for prominenco, Large flat hats of Tuscan straw in all the pastel shades are converted into the most charming receptacles for cut flowers and used for table dec- | orations. One arrangement 1s effected by standing a bowl of water in the up- turned crown and filling it with flow- ers, allowing them to trail out grace- fully over the brim, which by means of ribbon ties is shaped to simulate a flower-basket. Again, the crown is filled with a fancy basket of sweets hidden under an arrangement of flowers, lace and ribbon. Wonderful combinations in the way of color greet the eye and are rather startling to the woman who has “no- tions” about such things. American beauties hob-nob with sweet peas and violets keep close company with yellow tulips. Such innovations may pass muster in a florist’s window, but they would best be left there. Ribbon figures conspicuously in the season's floral decorations, appearing usually in the form of tiny, fluffy, tuft-like rosettes of baby ribbon. A popular and attractive arrange- ment {s to fill a low basket with fern fronds of some feathery variety, then dot it here and there with rosettes of pink, yellow, red or whatever color hag been selected for the color scheme. Such an arrangement is much less expensive than to use cut flowers, yet produces the desired ef- fect. A novel floral centerpiece was made up of tiny pots, each holding a maiden- hair fern, ready for transplanting, ar- ranged in a basket tray. The pots were wrapped in green crepe paper, held in place by inch- wide green satin ribbon that led to in- dividual places and thus converted the centerpiece at the close of the meal inte pleasing souvenirs of the occasion. Here and there among the pots were green carnations. Tulle vies with ribbon for popular- ity in combination with flowers, and is especially useful when a soft, wave- like effect is desired. For banking a table or mirrors green tulle and smilax are charming. ‘The vase and bowl, that have long been the accepted receptacles for cut flowers, have been replaced by the fancy basket and straw jardiniere, which even the most conservative must admit form a most fitting set- Ming! forthe taarant Bidasciee: SS $ & A 5 GARMENT STORE 925-16" ST.-—- OPP.

Cut chicken in small pieces as for stewing; wash and wipe dry; sprinkle with salt; dip each piece in melted butter and roll in flour, putting larger pieces in bottom of crock and pieces of fat, if any, on top. Pour over this one cup and a half of boiling water and cover tightly. Bake in moderate oven one hour and a half for spring chickens. In this way the gravy al- ready is prepared, so when the chick- en is lifted out it is ready for table. When I prepare chicken this way I do not have to touch again until cooked. And to save gas I bake my potatoes and a pie or pudding all with the same fire. Squabs or small pieces of beef are delicious cooked in this way. In cooking meats this way all the juices are retained. Many people complain of the breast of fowl being dry, but cooked this way it is juicy. - ; THE CALUMET a | SOCIAL CLUB. ee Ean ee LAWRENCE STEPHEN, Manager. ae i __+'| A FIRST-CLASS RESORT. a es ELEGANTLY _PURNISHED. ee Se) | Onr Reading Room Comprize all = Sf = the latest Papers, Books hi and Magazines, Headquarters for Cools, Waiters A and Railroad Porters. 2149 Curtis Sreet._ rs i Phone Main 8232.
