WashingtonD.C. America and Japan, The San Francisco Incident and Talk of War Between the two Countries. VOL. XIII, Washing America and Japan, The San Fran Between the t Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. This talk of war between the United States and Japan is peculiarly regrettable for a number of reasons. Since the voyage of Commodore Perry carrying assurances of good will and kindly feeling to the kingdom of the Rising Sun, which resulted in the treaty of 1854, the cordial relations of the two countries, resulting in mutual advantage and helpfulness, have known no shadow of wavering. Indeed they have steadily increased through sentiments of esteem to such a point as is seldom attained between countries which have so little common either by acquired or natural gift. Should this war materialize it would partake very much of the nature of a foster parent in deadly feud with the orphan child he had taken under his protection, while the cause of disarmament and international peace would be seriously stunned and the efforts of the Powers in this direction be rendered abortive now and for many years to come. Of course it is possible and indeed quite probable, that these undertakings on the part of the nations to accomplish the peace of the World may never be realized whether the war becomes a reality or not, yet it is certain that through it the prospects for the adoption at the Hague of a code of international ethics, by which all differences may be arbitrated, will be sadly diminished. Again it will be remembered that it was through the good officers of America or rather to be exact, of Mr. Roosevelt, that the suggestion for peace was made and effected, in the late affair between Russia and Japan. Considering these peculiar conditions and the continuous relationship of sponsor and preceptor in all that is best of modern civilization, it would seem that American prestige, builted so carefully by patriot and statesman of the Washington and Webster type would be dwarfed in large degree, if not ruthlessly sacrificed. As to the ostensible cause for friction between these two great nations, the civilized world is advised that a sovereign state an integral factor of the United States, objected to the association of Japanese scholars who were usually of more mature years, with white --- pupils in the lower grades of the average tender age and that the former were expelled—and the alleged brutal and abusive treatment of Japanese merchants and citizens. The attitude of Japan upon both of these questions, it is contended, has been honorable, straightforward and in the main conciliatory. They have based their protests and demands upon the equities of treaty rights. These doubtless carried with them the equality of school as well as other privileges which pertain to each and all nations who may be included in the most favored nation class. Without doubt the citizens of the Pacific coast, residing at the gateway for travellers from the Orient are more seriously concerned than residents of other sections of the country. Their protest then is but the natural will of humanity when danger threatens its own. The school question were it alone the cause of contention might easily be regulated and adjusted by much the same method as has been applied to the same question between the two classes of American born citizens, the whites and the Negro—separate schools with equal facilities. The real serious and threatening cloud, which rests its shadow over the peace of the two counties, is the American desire for a more rigid treaty of exclusion against the people of Japan. That is indeed where the shoe pinches the hardest. That too is the thing, unless I am much mistaken in reading Japanese character, to which they will never agree. It would mean to them a step backward of greater degree than any one of the forward movements which have made their progress notable in the annals of the world. It does seem a hardship to restrict a privilege once granted and long enjyyed thorough operation of treaty rights. When their pardonable pride in the marvelous scope of their achievements is considered, it would not be strange if they would rather have recourse to the arbitrament of the sword, than pay the cost of wounded pride and national humiliation. In a very large degree the plummet of western understanding has never sounded the depths of character in these little brown people of the Orient. These characteristics too are in evidence and very generally distributed among all classes so that the effect is to present to the world a people entirely homogeneous in all the essentials which produce a great strong and powerful nation. The commandments "Thou shalt honor the gods and love thy country" "Thou shalt clearly understand the principles of Heaven and the duty of man." "Thou shalt revere the Emperor as thy sovereign and obey the will of his court" are articles of faith, understood and subscribed to by each child of schoolage in the kingdom. Unquestionable devotion to the Emperor, love of ancestry and loyalty to country, are really the Japanese trinity before which every head is bowed in reverence and for which each arm is bare in defense. In whatever light the Government of Japan may regard the contemplated mobilization of a large fleet of American war vessels in the Pacific at this time, there can be no tangible ground for objection, save in the one fact that it might seem inopportune, in view conditions which to say the least, are not nearly so happy as one could wish. However no one can charge the Japanese with rashness, neither should there be fear of any action except that suggested by careful calm and deliberation. Wonderfully skillful as they are in the most delicate carving of wood and ivory and famed for their workmanship in silks and metallic substances, they are no less deft in the use of languages and it is most probable that these much discussed problems are, indeed, as an army officer has termed them, "nothing more than a tempest in a teapot." Doubtless Japanese wisdom is now at work and an easy and graceful adjustment may be found through the channels of diplomacy. Failing such a result, the theatre of actual operations will be found in the Philippines and the waters thereabout. In the light of such a development the action of the President in ordering all the Negro soldiers to those islands will seem an act of inspiration. For however much the country may insult and outrage, in times of peace the uniform, when clothing the persons of Negro men: or seek to legislate out of service this loyal and gallant contingent of the army their labors in field and trench, their sufferings under tropic heat, their very sacrifice of life itself will again as oft' before, be placed upon the altar of their country, with the true spirit of patriots. This the President knows. This the Nation feels. The question of justice to the Negro soldier and citizen is working slowly but no less surely forward on the calendar of human progress and that same "Destiny which shapes our ends" will dipose of it finally and absolutely in Its own time and in Its own way.

It is reported that Jack Johnson the California Negro heavyweight pugilist, is engaged to marry a rich Australian white woman. Hinton, Okla., July 12. — Whether or not the holy kiss as observed by a church congregation near Hinton shall be given by the white members to a Negro convert and applicant for membership threatens to split the church asunder. A majority of the members, not favoring the kissing rite in this instance want the rules suspended, while the other faction maintains they cannot get to heaven and refuse to kiss the Negro. Prominent colored men are backing a plan to open a bank for Negroes in Chicago. The bank will have Negro capital, Negro stockholders and Negro officials, and will appeal for support to the colored population. The Negroes at the head of the movement are Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, president, and L. L. Jones, vice president of the Black Diamond Development company and Sandy W. Trice, president of Saddy W. Trice & Co., the department store concern. Hattiesburg, Miss., July 7. One rifle bullet killed three Negroes, two of them women, at a frolic near here. James Cannon, a deputy sheriff, sent there to preserve order, wielded the gun. The officer was exonerated on the plea of self-defense. The dead are: Jack Robinson, Melinda Jackson and Mary Brown. These three led a mod of frenzied Negroes that attacked the deputy. Cannon leveled his rifle, a Winchester, and fired a single bullet down the line. The big leaden missile pierced Robinson's heart and then brained the two women. Boston, July 3. At the African Methodist conference to-day. Bishop Henry M. Turner of Philadelphia said: "The United States is no friend to the colored man. Everything that is written and published about our race in the popular magazines is in the main wilful falsehoods. Every white who is so destitute of ability, yet either wants an office or a little notoriety, has to go harping and babbling about the Negro and his in- feriority, like Vardaman, Tillman and a number of others I could mention, mere human asses braying against God and nature. I will give Senator Tillman $1000 to make a speech and leave the Negro out, that can be called a speech. Hot Springs, Ark., June 29. James Turner, a white farmer, who lives about four miles from Wilmont, Ark., was arrested on June 27, by United States Marshal Caron, who carried him to Pine Bluff, where he was placed under a $300 bond. Turner, is charged with holding in peonage a Negro named Robertson it is alleged that Roberson was held for a debt owed Turner and that during the day the Negro was chained to a plow and with the chain around his neck was compelled to guide the impliment. At night he was chained and locked in a corn crib. He recently filed the chain and escaped. In a letter to the district attorney, he said that his life was continually in danger and that although the neighbors offered to pay Turner the amount owed, Turner refused the money and declared he would "work the Negro to death."

ENTIRE FAMILY IS INJURED Unusual Twister Leaves a Trail of Devastation and Scatters Debris for Many Miles. Holyoke, Colo.—Four persons were injured, two seriously, and hundreds of thousands of dollars' damage done to property and crops by a cyclone which struck this place shortly after 5 o'clock on the evening of July 16th. Two houses were wrecked, windmills were blown down and many barns and outhouses destroyed. A hailstorm which followed the tornado caused the greatest loss to crops. The injured are members of one family and were injured in the collapse of their home. They are: Nellie Elmore, aged sixteen, faced badly cut, severe wound in side, in internal injuries; serious. Mary Elmore, aged six, bruise about body and face, back hurt; in internal injuries feared; serious. Andrew Elmore, aged thirty-five, lea- f fractured, eyes hurt by sand and body, bruised and cut. Peter Elmore, aged sixty, bruised about face, hands and body. There were nine others in the house at the time, but they escaped with slight scratches. Andrew Elmore, who is a pioneer resident, was blown through an open door of his house and was picked up nearly 100 yards away, pinned under a heavy timber from the wrecked house. His eyes were filled with sand and it is feared that the sight may be destroyed. The heavy timber lay on his leg and he was unable to move un- til other members of the family, at tracted by his screams, extricated him. Elmore says that he cannot describe the sensation he experienced. When he was lifted from the chair on which he was seated in his parlor and hurled through the front door, everythin' turned black and all he remembers, he says, was striking the ground. "In my flight I must have hit the earth six times, only to again be hurled high into the air," he adds. Peter Elmore and the girls, his granddaughters, were buried under several feet of debris. It was almost an hour before they could be removed. The Elmore home was what is known as a "groute" house, having been built with cement and gravel, but with a gable roof of frame construction. The building was thought to be unusually strong, but crumbled like an egg shell before the force of the wind Watched Twister Coming. All day a high wind swept over the city. About 5 o'clock a funnel-shaped cloud formed northeast of town and started on its journey of destruction. Hundreds of people witnessed the sight from the city and great alarm was felt, but the cyclone touched only the northern end of the town. Fences were blown down and a portion of the Hurlington roundhouse was carried out. The cyclone continued due east through the farming country, leaving a path five miles long and one mile wide. The home of Mrs. C. Johnson, a widow, was the first hit. It was reduced to kindling wood and the pieces strewn for 100 yards around. Mrs. Johnson and her four children were not at home. Two horses grazing in the pasture between the Elmore and Johnson houses were blown off their feet and so badly injured they had to be shot The hallstorm which followed the cyclone was the most severe in the history of the county. It extended over an area twelve miles long and five miles wide, and the crops are nearly a total loss. The greatest damage, probably, was in the vicinity of Hextum, in the extreme western end of the county. In that district alone it is estimated that nearly $100,000 worth of wheat, corn and other crops were ruined. Hallstones as big as baseballs fell in some sections, according to reports received here. Frank Groves, living near Hextum, was probably the greatest individual loser. He had 100 acres planted in wheat, corn, vegetables, melons and smaller crops, which are completely ruined. Coal Land Frauds Being Probed. Cheyenne, Wyo.—The first interesting evidence in the trial of E. E. Lonabaugh, E. M. Holbrook and Robert McPhillamey, charged with conspiracy to defraud the government of coal lands in Sheridan county, same when Mrs. Lee Hake of Sheridan testified that for a consideration of $100 she made a coal filing at the instigation of her uncle, Lonabaugh. Mrs. Hake said she did not pay the filing fees or the $2,400 derived by the government from the transfer of title to the land, Lonabaugh acting as her agent in these matters. Mrs. Hake identified her signature on papers transferring this land to Lonabaugh and his associates, but could not remember having made transfer. Other witnesses examined were F. W. Daniels and E. B. Mather, register and receiver, respectively, of the land office at Buffalo; C. B. Holmes, former clerk of Sheridan county; L.B. Glafcke, the present clerk, and Stewart Kennedy, superintendent of the Wyoming Coal Mining Company at the time the alleged fraudulent filings were made. Box of Wine Confiscated. Macalester, I. T.—"This box contains fifty quarts of wine for sacramental purposes. It is introduced into Indian Territory by special permission of the War Department. Anyone who interferes with it will be prosecuted." The wine was confiscated by Marshal W. E. Johnson, who wired the Department of the Interior to ask what should be done with the wine. He has not been advised. 3,000 FALL WITH PROSTRATION The Elks Pull Off Big Parade, But Many Suffer. Philadelphia.—Philadelphia and her myriad of visitors paid dearly to see the Elks' titanic parade. It fell upon the hottest day of the year and the suffering among the spectators was terrible. There were more than 3,000 heat prostrations, and yet not one death has been reported so far. Numerically the parade was without a precedent. It took four hours and a half to pass the reviewing stands, and there were no delays. Colonel John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans, grand marshal, gave the official number of men in line as 5,000. The men from Denver were dressed as cowboys, with fringed buckskin trousers, blue flannel shirts, red bandana handkerchiefs around their necks broad-brimmed somberros on their heads and revolvers strapped in their belts. When these wild men from the West, 200 strong, drew their revolvers in front of the mayor's stand on north city hall plaza, and "shot up" the place, it sounded like a battle and the massof people on the big st and that looked like some huge boiling pot because of the swaying of fans, fairly burst with enthusiasm. Of the 3,000 persons who were overcome by the heat, few were from the ranks of the paraders. They were on the move on Broad street, which is of magnificent width, giving the marchers ample breathing space, but the spectators who were crowded together behind cordons of police, toppled over so fast that they filled the hospitals. Ambulances and patrol wagons were continually on the run. Railroads Announce Cuts. All the eastern railroads announce a sweeping reduction in the passenger rates from Denver to Chicago, St. Louis and other eastern points, which will result in a saving of from $2.50 to $3.50 on each ticket. This is to be followed in about a week by another reduction that will place the rates on a two-cents-a-mile basis east of the Colorado line and three cents to the state line. The new schedule applies from all Colorado common points, including Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver. The present reduction is made on the distance between the Missouri river gateways and the eastern points and the rate clerks of the various roads are now preparing the new schedules from the Missouri river west. Following is a comparison of the old rate with those which go into effect today: Old New Rate. Rate. Denver to Chicago ..... $28.65 $25.35 Denver to Peoria ..... 25.40 22.90 Denver to St. Louis ..... 23.65 21.65 Denver to Memphis ..... 23.65 25.80 Denver to St. Paul ..... 26.05 22.90 Denver to Minneapolis ..... 26.05 22.90 Denver to Cedar Rapids ..... 22.55 20.50 Denver to Des Molines ..... 20.40 19.00 Denver to Davenport ..... 23.55 22.40 Denver to Rock Island ..... 23.55 22.40 Denver to Moline ..... 23.55 22.40 Pope Condemns Changes in Holy Writ. Rome.—The syllabus promulgated by the Pope with regard to the so-called modernism in the faith contains a preamble which sets forth that Roman Catholic authors, under the pretext of examining dogmas, explain them in the name of history in such a fashion that the dogmas themselves disappear. To prevent such errors, the preamble says, the Pope has ordered a congregation of inquisition to note and reprove the principal errors, and with his approbation sixty-five propositions are condemned. These include the following: Divine inspiration does not guarantee all and every part of the Holy Scriptures against error. The resurrection of the Savior is not an historical fact, but is purely supernatural. It can neither be demonstrated nor is it demonstrable. The Roman Catholic Chuch became the head of all churches, not by divine ordinances, but by purely political circumstances. The church is the enemy of natural and theological sciences. The Christian doctrine was first Judaic, then Pauline, then Hellenic, then universal. The principles of the Apostles' creed had not the same significance to the primitive Christians as they have to the Christians of the present time. W. E. Russell, Where Are You? Denver.—If alive, W. E. Russell, former member of the Wyoming State Legislature and prominent in mining circles in that state and in Colorado, can secure a fortune by communicating with his former partner, J. M. Thomas, at the Quincy bar in Denver. Russell disappeared from Denver in July, 1966, and has not been heard of since. His baggage is still at the Abbott hotel at Nineteenth and Curtis streets, where he left it.' Russell had $100 on his person when he disappeared and it is feared that he might have met with foul play. His former partner desires to learn, if possible, if he is alive or dead and his whereabouts, as mining property in which the two owned an interest was recently sold for large sum. Thomas, whose residence is in Olinghaus, Nevada, is in Denver investigating the disappearance of his partner. Mr. Thomas said: "Russell and I were partners in the Thomas-Russell Mercantile Company at Battle, Wyoming, and among other mining property owned the Rambler mine. We secured backing of Chicago capitalists and retained stock in the company. We could see no future for the property and Russell came to Denver in 1906 and secured a $100 loan from Joseph Gaut. He disappeared that night and has not been heard of since. The mine was recently sold to the Penn-Wyoming Copper Company for several millions and I desire to take care of Thomas or his heirs, when I claim my share of this money." Kind Woman's Assistance Meant Much to This Tramp. A certain lady, noted for her kind heart and open hand, was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began: "A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks—and so it is with me at this time. Unless, madam, in the name of pity, you give me assistance, I will be compelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would greatly dislike to do." Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a five-dollar bill. As the man pocketed it with profuse thanks, she inquired: "And what is the dreadful thing I have kept you from doing, my poor man?" "Work," was the brief and mournful reply.—Harper's Weekly. WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK. Brains of Mountain and Prairie in Demand in the Financial Center. Ever since the early days, when D. O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R. Keene "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for its supply of "men who do things." Theodore P. Shonts, both a southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to solve New York's great transit problem, is the latest importation in response to the call of the east. The promptness with which Thos. F. Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equitable Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a majority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the control of the stock which he bought from Jas. H. Hyde, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management the Equitable has made a better showing than any other insurance company in the way of improved methods, economies and increased returns to policyholders. E. H. Gary, head of the greatest corporation in the world—the U. S. Steel Co.-John W. Gates, Henry C. Frick, Norman B. Ream, Wm. H. Moore and Daniel G. Reid are other westerners who are among the biggest men in New York. Her Alm. A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty in evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam's wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam's leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sam's wife was about to hurl it when Sam, with wonderful presence of mind, shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow dat stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mandy!"—Youth's Companion. Quite Desirable. The Hold-up Man (as he takes large watch from victim's pocket)—I suppose you're thinkin' I'm a real undesirable citizen, eh? The Victim—Nothing of the sort, old man! That watch you've just relieved me of was in my wife's family for 75 years and she forced me to lug it around.—Puck. New Use for Old Ropes. Some time ago a woolen manufacturer in the north of England succeeded in making a fabric from old ropes. He obtained quantity of old rope and cordage, unraveled them and wove them by a secret process into a kind of rough cloth. A SMALL SECRET. Couldn't Understand the Taste of His Customers. Two men were discussing the various food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance. One, a grocer, said, "I frequently try a package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. "For instance, I thought I would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally concluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum. "I know just what is the matter,' she said, 'you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when you see the great gain in health.' Well, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stomach and kidney troubles." Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkga. BOB'S LAST RING FIGHT. Once Famous Champion Is Down and Out Forever. Philadelphia.—It required about four minutes of action for Jack Johnson to put old, worn-out Bob Fitzsimmons down for the count before the Washington Sporting Club here the night of July 17th, in what was to have been a six-round battle. Fitzsimmons entered the ring looking like a corpse compared to the powerful appearance of his opponent. The Cornishman had a sprained arm, and for that reason Referee Kennan refused to act. From the sound of the gong until the battle was over it was easily seen that the dark spot had things his own way and the only question in the minds of the spectators was "How long will Fitz last?" When round one started Fitz pranced about the ring some and Johnson got in some straight ones to the center of the long, gangling one. Jack also sent in some stingers to the jaw, and though Fitz tried repeatedly to land his famous counter or to make a half decent showing his efforts were in vain and the colored heavy hammered away. When the second round came up both men walked to the center of the ring. Fitz had no cowardly air, but he was like an old, worn-out farm horse against a two-year-old thoroughbred. He couldn't limber up, he couldn't even get up his guard and after about a minute of action Johnson led to the stomach with his left and sent in a quick, straight right to the jaw. Bob went down and was counted out by Referee Billy McCarney. The crowd filed out more like a throng leaving the funeral bier of a great statesman than like a crowd leaving a prize fight. The thousands that jammed the hall felt regretful that such a grand old man as Fitzsimmons was pulled into the ring. They saw him in his last fight and knew it and took pity upon the ex-champion. The Peace Conference Does Little. The Hague.—The American delegation has presented to the peace conference the following proposition: "If for any reason a captured vessel can not be tried the vessel must be released." The Peruvian delegation has presented the following amendment to the American proposition regarding the collection of the contractual debts: "The principles established by this proposition can not be applied to differences arising from contract between the government of one country and the foreign subjects of another when the contracts provide that these differences must be submitted to the judges of local tribunals." The Venezuelan delegation presented a declaration on the same subject making the same objection as Peru, with the addition that in case no contract exists all diplomatic means of reaching an understanding must be tried before recourse is had to the permanent court of arbitration. The Venezuelan declaration ends with these words: "It is understood that said differences are to be settled through peaceful means without recourse to coercive measures implying the employment of military or naval forces." Report Favors Faculty. Cheyenne, Wyo.—The special nonpartisan commission appointed by Governor Brooks to inquire into affairs at the State University in Wyoming, charges of graft and mismanagement having been made by Professor G. E. Morton, now of Fort Collins, made its report to the governor. The result in the main favors the faculty. The commission reported that in the purchase of coal and the letting of printing no competitive bids were asked but that coal and printing were obtained at reasonable prices, no graft being established; that there was no undue political interference and no misappropriation of funds. It also says that there was no improper interference by Miss Grace R. Hebard, secretary of the board of trustees, and designated as "petticoat government." The charges that live stock had been fed at the experiment station by Otto Gramm, president of the board, and Dr. Stevens, that wool owned by the university had been exhibited by King brothers at the state fair at Douglas, were also found to be not true. Two Japanese Schooners Seized. Washington.—The State Department has been informed that the revenue cutter Manning upon the 5th inst. seized two Japanese fishing schooners, the Nitto Maru and the Kalmo near the boat landing within about a mile of the seal island of St. Paul. Both of the vessels were fully equipped for sealing, and there were evidences that they had been plying their craft in the shape of fresh sealskins in the small boats. The seized vessels were taken to Unalaska and left in charge of the United States marshal. The crews were taken aboard the Manning and conveyed to Ungli in charge of a United States marshal, where they will be tried before a United States commissioner upon the charge of violating the sealing regulations. The Japanese embassy has been notified by the State Department, but as the case appears to be an ordinary one of poaching it is not expected that any diplomatic incident will result. Roads Must Reduce Freight Rates. Washington.—In an opinion rendered by Commissioner Prouty the Interstate Commerce Commission announced its decision in the case of the Roswell Commercial Club and others against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company and others. The complaint in this case put in issue the reasonableness of rates between various points in the United States and Roswell, Artesia, Hagerman and Carlsbad in New Mexico. The present class rates from Kansas City and St. Louis, Galveston and Denver to those points were held unjust and unreasonable and reductions were ordered. Certain commodity rates were also held to be excessive. The commodity rates on grain and grain products from points in Kansas and Oklahoma were ordered reduced from 47 cents on flour and 45 cents on wheat, to 42 cents on flour and 40 cents on wheat.

Sixteen young women, sent out from Oregon to make that state famous, are on their way to Chicago on their homeward journey. They left Oregon Mayist. They have visited Toronto, Washington and the Jamestown Exposition, and yesterday they paid a visit to Elbert Hubbard, the long-haired philosopher who makes his own furniture and sets type at East Aurora, New York. While in Washington a reception was given for them in the East room of the White House. They are all farmers' daughters and were sent to the Jamestown Exposition to advertise the state by giving away literature telling all about "its matchless scenery, opportunities and wonderful resources which only wait development."—Chicago Tribune.

COLORADO NEWS ITEMS Boulder Chautauqua has kept up its usual good record this year. The "Jungles" in Fort Collins are to be given a general scrubbing. Dr. Forrest L. Estile recently died at Colorado Springs of brain fever. Work will begin on the proposed Royal Gorge electric line very soon. Denver has again figured it out that she has 190,000 children, old and young. Troop D of Colorado cavalry of Boulder has been taking an outing at Golden. The local lodge of Modern Woodman at Greeley are preparing to hold at street fair. A Denver dairyman has confessed to using starch in making cream thick and yellow. Everybody is thinking about the big time to be had in Denver on Colorado day, August 1st. The flood in Clear Creek canon caused $50,000 damage and suspended traffic over a week. A Negro colony is proposed for Colorado somewhere in the neighborhood of Colorado Springs. Another retired capitalist—John Wolf—has moved his family from Denver to beautiful Boulder. Ault is out after the Union Pacific Railroad Company, asking that more crossings be placed in that town. Georgetown was without daily newspapers and beer for over a week, owing to the cloudburst, but the town moved right along. The body of a new born babe was found a few days ago in an irrigation ditch near the Rustler school house, in the vicinity of Pueblo. Dan Murphy, found beside the railroad track at Greeley a few days ago suffering with a fractured skull, died. He was seventy years of age. Denver papers are saying much about a "Shirt Sleeve Club" in that city. Denver needn't feel so puffed up over it—we farmers have belonged to that club for years, b'gosh. The editors of the state are contemplating a royal time July 22d-24th, the dates set for their annual midsummer outing. A trip to Steamboat Springs, over the Moffat road, is planned. The large dairy farm plant of Ben Bacovi, of Silverton, was burned one day recently. The loss was over $3,000 and was only partially insured. The Municipal electric light plant and a large sawmill adjoining narrowly escaped being burned. A Farmers' Institute will be held at Florence July 28th, and expert agricultrists from the State Agricultural College will address the institute on subjects of interest to formers. Extensive advertising is being done and a large attendance is expected. Turman F. Kennedy, who conducts one of the White Mountain summer resorts, and who is visiting at Boulder contemplates locating somewhere in this state. He says the Eastern summer resorts are becoming too much the gathering places for people suffering with tuberculosis. The farmers on Gunbarrel hill, which is above all irrigating ditches, say some of the wheat there will run as high as fifty bushels to the acre. For a time it looked as if the green louse would destroy all of the wheat, but the cold, wet spell in the latter part of the spring killed off these pests. Some fields were utterly ruined by them, but not many. The last of the old landmarks in Greeley is to be torn down to make way for a two-story brick building to be built by D. R. McArthur for a hardware store. The old one-story frame building which stands on the south side of Main street among a row of brick blocks, was built in 1871 by John Abbott, an original Union colonist, now a resident of Fort Collins. Believing that Jose Martinez, the Mexican stabbed at Windsor a few nights ago, was near death, county hospital attendants were much surprised to find his bed empty and the man gone a few morning ago. He had arsenin in the night, secured clothing and fled. His companion in the fight is in the hospital and will recover. No effort will be made to find the man. The citizens of Keene, in eastern Weld county, are digging the first artesian well in that region. There are two reasons for putting down the well; one, that it is possible to strike a flow of artesian water to be used for domestic purposes, and also to uncover a coal vein which is said to underly the town. It is understood that the Burlington railroad is interested in the project and if coal is found, even of a cheap grade, will mine it for its own use. Like a white elephant on their hands is a barrel of bottled beer in the possession of the town officers at Ault. They arrested Jud Cathy alleged owner of the goods, charging that he was violating the ordinances by selling liquor, and holding the beer as evidence. Cathy escaped from jail and the possessors of the beer are now wondering just how far their power of confiscation goes. All the town officers are strict temperance men, will not allow the beer in their homes and have serious objections to storing it in the town hall. Cold Storage Plant. Pueblo.—Pueblo is to have the distinction of numbering among its enterprises a mammoth cold storage plant which will easily rank as the largest of its kind in the entire West. Clements and associates have practically completed negotiations whereby they will erect a plant to cost more than $500,000 in the business part of the city, and which will be bounded on two sides by the Rio Grande tracks. With the cool storage plant will be installed a system of street refrigeration, an innovation enjoyed only by Kansas City, St. Louis and other towns of their size. The system will be installed only in the business section. It will be used in large ice-boxes or in any place where a refrigerator is used on a large scale. John A. Harrison, a prominent business man of Stoneham, was surprised the other day when he went out in his back yard to see his pet cat and a squirrel eating out of the same dish. He called to his cat, but the animal refused to leave his new found friend. —Boston Post. The Inter-Ocean Investment and Brokerage Co. AND COLLATERAL BANK. 1436 Curtis Street.

MAY THROW OUT COLORADO Fact That Hawley and Neville Were Not Put on Witness Stand Leaves Orchard's Testimony Pat. Bolse, Ida.—The great case of the people of Idahe vs. William D. Haywood is slowly nearing its end. The prosecution unexpectedly closed its case and the defense's sur-rebuttal and the judge's instructions should be disposed of quickly, so that the attorneys will probably commence their arguments by Monday morning. These arguments will last six days. When the state announced that it had closed, Charles Neville, the young man who was with Orchard the night the latter says he blew up the Independence depot; K. C. Sterling, the detective employed by the Teller county nine owners and who is charged by the defense with planning the Independence and other outrages; Nelson Franklin, Clarence Hamlin and A. E. Carlton were all in the chairs reserved for witnesses, waiting to be called. The failure to put them on the stand caused much comment. It is said that the state feared the testimony of more Pinkertons and mine owners would only hurt its case. It has been apparent that the witnesses secured by the state for rebuttal were not making a favorable impression. This was due in a measure to Mr. Hawley's handling of them, but to a greater extent to the gruelling cross-examination of Richardson. As an example of the showing made by some of these witnesses the testimony of O. M. Sackett, the superintendent of the Telluride Power Company, may be considered. The witness admitted assisting in the deportation of union miners. "We decided to deport all undesirable citizens from Telluride," said he. He admitted that A. H. Floaten was an exemplary citizen. He said he saw Floaten covered with blood detained on a vacant lot, hatless, coatless and shoeless, while his wife brought him clothes. He excused the treatment of Floaten by saying that he made speeches and harbored the unionists. "I do, providing their speech is what it should be," said Sackett. There was derisive laughter at this, and even Judge Wood turned to the correspondent with a deprecating smile. Asked to explain "harboring unionists," Sackett said Floaten was giving them supplies from his store on credit. "Don't you know Floaten preaches the doctrine of non-resistance?" asked Rlcardson. "Yes." "That if struck on one cheek he turns the other?" "I never saw him do that," said Sackett. Judge Wood announced that he might strike out all the evidence offered by the defense relating to the conditions in Colorado. Should he insist upon this the defense will be seriously crippled in making its appeal to the jury. He will listen to arguments on this point. The defense will call the jury's attention to the state's failure to call Neville and Sterling. Hawley had Neville sworn but dismissed him before he could take the stand. The chief prosecutor called Sterling's name once but there was no response and he made no attempt to find the missing witness. As matters now stand the defense's charge concerning the relations between Orchard and Sterling must go uncontradicted and there is nothing before the jury to controvert Friedman's allegations concerning the methods of the Pinkertons. Would Make Colorado Famous. As the result of the temperance agitation in the East and South, Colorado may become the Mecca for ostracized distilleries for people whose overwhelming thirst finds no relief in other states. Within the last few days the office of the United States revenue collector has been swamped with letters from liquor firms in Georgia, Kentucky, Kansas and Indiana, where the courts and legislatures are busy dealing body blows to all drinks stronger than lemonade. They anxiously inquire if Chief Deputy Inspector Myers believes there is a fertile field for the business in Colorado. They lay particular stress on the questions as to whether the water is good for distilling and whether the temperance laws of the state are strict. One indignant Kentuckian asks if Colorado is also degenerating, and if the people are fond of the good old Kentucky brand of whisky.' All alike promise to make Denver and its sister cities famous for the goods manufactured within their boundaries. Mr. Myers has replied in each case that the water here is good for everything, that the citizens, in leg's lation, at least, are not prohibitionally inclined, and that there do not seem to be any present prospects for the temperance wave to strike Colorado, too. Denver.—Married three times in twenty-four years, and dissatisfied with each venture, Mrs. Ethel Harris-Wilson-Kreiger-Bemer, deserted her husband, Joseph Bemer, according to a complaint made by the latter. Bemer, a miner employed at the Leyden mines, married the woman three weeks ago, and the two lived at 2040 Stoul street. Bemer placed $200 at his wife's disposal, and says that two weeks after the wedding she left, taking the $200 and all his Sunday clothes. She left a note saying: "I just came here for a rest. I have got the rest, and will go. Good-by." Bemer has searched unsuccessfully for his wife, and finally told his troubles to the police. Mrs. Bemer's father, Dan Harris, lives at Twenty-fourth and Larimer streets. Harris declares he doesn't know where his daughter is, and furthermore, said he didn't even know she was married to Bemer.

CLOUDS IT will not be surprising if the rain makers of the United States finally succeed in bringing on a storm. Things work that way. The kind of storm we look for don't always come, and the color of the preceding cloud is not always a true harbinger. There is an ominous but not necessarily a dangerous note in the discussion of Japanese displeasure over American prejudice now going on in the daily press. An able representative of China has voiced the growing impatience of the millions of Celestials because of our discriminations against them. The alliances between the monarchial countries of the East are not without their influence upon the world relations of the United States. And none of these things make the world's political atmosphere hang any clearer over the western hemisphere. Race prejudice is a cloud upon the horizon of the destiny of any nation. Of all the countries in the world, the United States is most torn with hatred and prejudice of race. A HOCUS POCUS GOVERNOR. GRABLE HOKE SMITH is now goering up to keep in close touch with the one of their most important dutiful Negro race. In his inaugural address one of demarcation between the white that any plan to aid the Negroes who differences would not succeed. He had the same opportunity to develop days, and that slavery improved of the Negroes in that state had ceased. He thought that few had been out that all had been helped who he nevertheless, he recognized the duty just to the Negro." a blessing to the South if a bona fide into its politics. The Democratic party in its political power and official position the rise and serious discussion of with which state governments are deemed to be no differences of opinion action of sufficient importance or extent of decent dimensions. So, by that politics by raising imaginary issue is not an issue at all, for there is upon which their politicians and the people absolutely as they fit; purposes, regardless of the desires are masters today, without owners were masters in slavery days, withicians and the governors harp one of keeping the hatred of the low and element at the boiling point, for the reason, or is it a fight against the nation and dead? Whatteevr the excuse, that sense a political issue dividing the question arises. How can the white he insists upon making him a tariff champers his progress with stalking; and while he seeks to limit his free and independent citizen of a country the world’s justice? THE HONORABLE HOKE SMITH is now governor of Georgia. Circumstances compel us to keep in close touch with southern governors as it seems to be one of their most important duties to keep in close touch with the Negro race. In his inaugural address, Governor Smith intensified the line of demarcation between the white and the black races by saying that any plan to aid the Negroes which failed to recognize the racial differences would not succeed. He insisted, further, that the Negro had the same opportunity to develop that other races had before slavery days, and that slavery improved the black race, while a majority of the Negroes in that state had ceased to improve since slavery was abolished. He thought that few had been helped by learning from books, but that all had been helped who had been taught or made to work. Nevertheless, he recognized the duty of the white man to be "absolutely just to the Negro." It would be a blessing to the South if a bona fide political issue could be injected into its politics. The Democratic party in the South, almost unopposed in its political power and official authority, seems to absolutely prohibit the rise and serious discussion of industrial or economic questions with which state governments are generally expected to deal. There seem to be no differences of opinion among the white people of that section of sufficient importance or strength to cause a political allignment of decent dimensions. So, by apparent common consent, they play at politics by raising imaginary issues over the Negro. The so-called issue is not an issue at all, for there is but one side to it, but it is a matter upon which their politicians and their governors can everlastingly harp. What do the white people of Georgia care now whether slavery or freedom improved Negroes most? What do they care whether education or hard work is best for black men? They govern the black people absolutely as they see fit; they make laws to suit their own purposes, regardless of the desires or opinions of the Negroes, and they are masters today, without ownership, almost as thoroughly as they were masters in slavery days, with ownership. Then why do the politicians and the governors harp on the Negro? Is it for the purpose of keeping the hatred of the low and thoughtless and uneducated white element at the boiling point, for the sake of false political enthusiasm, or is it a fight against the nation over the issues that are really past and dead? Whateevr the excuse, the fact remains that it is not in any sense a political issue dividing the people of the South. Then the question arises. How can the white man be just to the Negro, while he insists upon making him a target for inexcusable hatred; while he hampers his progress with stalking fears in the shape of social dogmas; and while he seeks to limit his every ambition and every hope as a free and independent citizen of a country supposed to be an exemplar of the world's justice? "JIM CROW" ADOPTED. V" has been formally adopted by the nation as a legitimate child of the nation, in a case in which the complaint right a ticket from Chattanooga, Tenn. ousted from a car assigned to whi "JIM CROW" has been formally adopted by the Interstate Commerce Commission as a legitimate child of the nation. In a decision rendered July 8th, in a case in which the complainant was a colored woman who bought a ticket from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Dalton, Georgia, and was ousted from a car assigned to whites, the commission says: "While the reasonableness of such regulation as to interstate passenger traffic is established, it by no means follows that carriers may discriminate between white and colored passengers in the accommodations which they furnish to each. If a railroad provides certain facilities and accommodations for first-class passengers of the white race, it is commanded by the law that like accommodations shall be provided for colored passengers of the same class. The principle that must govern is that carriers must serve equally all passengers, whether white or colored, paying the same fare. Failure to do this is discrimination, and subjects the passenger to 'undue and unreasonable prejudice and disadvantage.'" It was established in the case decided that in the car for whites there were two toilets, while in the compartment for colored people there was but one. There was a smoking compartment in the white people's coach, while the colored people were deniid one. It is the practice on all of the Jim Crow railroads to crowd first and second class passengers together in a makeshift coach or compartment without any provision for the comfort, convenience or protection of those who desire to travel decently and comfortably in such style as the railroad provides for other passengers. Indignities are heaped upon these passengers by other passengers of coarser tastes and by train crews alike. In many cases white men, rough Negroes and trainmen cloud with tobacco smoke and profanity the compartment in which refined colored women are compelled to ride. The decision of the commission compels a remedy for this disgrace. But that remedy is an expensive one for the railroads, for they will be compelled to run extra cars with decent accommodations and of orderly arrangement to meet the legal requirement. This, however, does not relieve the Interstate Commerce Commission or the Supreme Court of the United States, which, the former body claims has "established" the reasonableness of the regulation, from the odium of bending justice to the unconstitutional attitude of class legislative arrangement. If one part of the citizenship of this country, or of any state, has the constitutional right to enact and thereby establish the legal inference that another part of the citizenship of the country, or of such state, is, in its entirety, inferior and distasteful to the enacting portion, and that public contact between them, of special or of every character, can be prohibited, then there is no equality of citizenship, no personal freedom, no constitutional liberty in this country over which selfishness, social assumption, money or political power cannot ride. The Negro will be compelled to accept the interpretation of legal conditions expressed by the commission, which is not without its benefits, but he will continue to believe in a final and more "reasonable" triumph of the fundamental law. American People Becoming Innoculated With Germ of Honesty The geologist tells us that there were the first peaks to emerge from the tide by little, the whole continent appalled the hot waters of either ocean. That is when Mount Washington first cleared steam and mud and stood forth, on light, the forerunner of a new continent.

More striking still the ethical note in the realm of public morals. Man wants money—but when a man is hungry he must not eat coals of fire. And when a man is avaricious he must not seek satisfaction by getting money through crime and fraud. The whole nation is rising up to shake off its former lies, vices and sins. In politics if a youth wants position and preferment he must plead the cause of the poor. In literature and fiction if the novelist wants to succeed he must portray the triumph of honor and the defeat of sham and humbug. If a magazine wants to increase its circulation it takes up some cause and becomes a voice for the public conscience. On every side are young men of ability and large mental acquirements who have tried to get on by adopting the low ethical ideals of the politicians of the old school, with the result that these ambitious young men are now utterly discredited and without any hope of future preferment. Honesty is becoming a contagion. It is an auspicious hour for our people. It is the golden age for which the fathers longed. And this new note of conscience in public life prophesies a new era of happiness and progress for the people of the republic. Vital Problem to be Solved By OSCAR S.

The effect of combination of either capital or labor is not in itself an evil. The methods by which such combination is arrived at or by which it is maintained or operated, if those methods are inequitable or unfair, should not only be exposed, but should be drastically dealt with. A corporation desiring to perpetuate its domination may use its combination power to give better service—that is a public good—but when that power is used to prevent any one else from giving a like service or the best service it can, then its combination power is being used as an encroachment upon the rights of others and against the public welfare.

Our manufacturers of cotton oil might profitably direct their efforts to bringing their product to the attention of the American people. If our own people were made familiar with the real qualities of cotton-seed oil, very much of the olive oil now imported would be permanently displaced, and very much of the animal fats now so extensively used in the preparation of food would be expelled from American kitchens. By DR. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS. The geologist tells us that the White mountains were the first peaks to emerge from the sea; then, little by little, the whole continent appeared, rising above the hot waters of either ocean. That was a great moment when Mount Washington first cleared itself of water, steam and mud and stood forth, crowned with sunlight, the forerunner of a new continent. But more wonderful still the sudden entrance of conscience and ethics into the industrial and corporate life of the republic. For years, doubtless, the No greater, more important, and vital question has ever come forward for solution than the relation between capital and labor.

Trained Markmen Prove Additional Strength to Country. Oyster Bay.—President Roosevelt has put his hearty approval on public school rifle practice. In a letter of congratulations to Ambrose Scharfenberg, of Brooklyn, winner of the shooting trophy of the public school athletic league, he takes occasion to encourage the system or rifle practice inaugurated by General George B. Wingate, retired. That the letter to young Scharfenbergmay have as far-reaching influence as possible, it was made public at the President's direction today. In part the letter says: "Your skill is a credit to you and also to your principal, your teachers and to all connected with the manual training school which you attend and I congratulate them all. Practice in rifle shooting is of value in developing not only muscles, but nerves, steadiness, and judgment under excitement. It is therefore of value to every man throughout his life. "The public schools athletic league has done fine work for the city and for the country in introducing and promoting athletics and a love for many sports in the public schools of New York, especially as the league most wisely allows no one to compete who is not up to the passing mark, both in studies and deportment. I am especially glad of what it has done in establishing instruction in rifle shooting. "The United States has a very small standing army. In time of war it must depend upon hasty levies of volunteers and it is a prime necessity that the volunteer should already know how to shoot if he is to be of value as a soldier. "In no modern war would it be possible effectively to train men to shoot during the brief period of preparation before the army takes to the field. The training must come in in advance and the graduates from our schools and colleges should be thus trained so as to be good shots with the military rifle. "When so trained they constitute a great addition to our national strength and great assurance for the peace of the country." Denver a Great Wool Center. Denver,—Dallas J. Osborne and other Denver wool men are working to make Denver the largest wool center west of Boston. The Denver Wool Scouring mills started here in 1904 with hardly any business at all, and have worked up until this year they will scour over 2,000,000 pounds of wool. This shows what can be done. The present capacity of the mill is 3,500,000 pounds a year. These mills are the best west of Boston, equipped with the latest and most improved machinery. Denver as a wool center, both for the benefit of the buyer and the grower, is the plan. Warehouses will be built to store millions of pounds of wool shipped to these warehouses. At stated periods large auction sales attended by all the big buyers of wool will be held. Thus the buyers will be saved the trouble and expense of traveling through the country districts buying the wool in little dabs. From the grower's standpoint it has even more advantages. The producer can ship wool to the warehouses and there hold it until he gets a favorable market. While where it can be insured and protected from the sun and rain. The cost of storage and commission will be small. There is no better security than wool and the grower can therefore borrow money from the local banks on the wool thus stored. The making of a wool center here will bring more scouring mills and perhaps woolen factories. This being the natural center of the wool-producing district will bring the large woolen mills here. Next year the first auction sale, most likely in the month of July, is expected. Big Wyoming Land Cases. Cheyenne, Wyo.—A special summer term of the United States District Court for Wyoming convened here with Judge J. A. Riner presiding for the trial of six criminal cases brought by the special session of the federal grand jury here last May. Five of the cases are for alleged land frauds and the sixth, that of W. F. Brittain, ex-postmaster at Sheridan, for interference with the United States malls. Two of the defendants, E. T. McCarthy and E. M. Holbrook, are millionaires, Holbrook being the president of the Wyoming Coal Mining Company, operating near Sheridan. They are charged jointly with E. E. Lonabough, a Sheridan attorney, and Robert McPhilamey, a Sheridan real estate broker, with conspiracy against the government in the acquisition of coal lands near Sheridan The first trial will be that of Holbrook, Lonabaugh and McPhilaney, who will be tried jointly, their case coming up tomorrow. E. T. McCarthy demanded a separate trial, which will follow that of his associates, the Brittain case being set for Friday, July 19th. The sixth case is that of H. W. Davis, a prominent stockman of Johnson county, who is charged with perjury in the acquisition of title to government lands in Johnson county. The Davis case has been set for trial on July 23rd. Frontier Day at Hand Cheyenne, Wyo.—With a few more days to pass before the opening of the 1907 Frontier Days' celebration, July 25th, 26th and 27th, which will be the eleventh annual and greatest wild West show ever held here, the entry lists for the wild western events involving championships are practically filed. Entries in these events will be received until they are actually started, but the late comers will have to depend on some early bird dropping out for their chance to compete. The entry lists to date contain the names of many cowboys who have gained fame in previous shows and of the best riders and ropers of half a dozen states, including Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Wyoming and Nebraska. DESSERT FOR HOT DAYS. Puddings That Are Particularly Welcome in Hot Weather. Puddings made with cornstarch and turned over oranges are apt to be bitter; so are most tapioca and orange puddings. Here is a new way: The sago or tapioca is cooked to a clear jelly in water in a double boiler and a pinch of salt added. Turn this into the juice of several oranges, mixed with plenty of sugar if they are tart. If too sweet, use a little lemon juice with them. Pour into a serving dish to cool and prepare two nice oranges for the top by cutting them, skin and all, into thin slices. Lay the slices prettily over the top and place on ice. in this way the heat does not draw out the bitter taste of the oranges. Bread is often wasted that could be utilized in batter cakes or puddings, the queen of all puddings is an old-time favorite that can be put together without great trouble. Make it when eggs are plentiful in summer, for in winter it would not be an economical way to use the bread. One may find many recipes, with slight variations, but the usual amounts are the yolks of four eggs to a pint of bread crumbs, one quart of milk, the rind of a lemon grated and one cupful of sugar. This custard is baked. Then it is spread with either strawberry or raspberry jam or currant jelly. The whites of the eggs are beaten stiff with a cupful of powdered sugar in which some of the lemon juice has been mixed, the rind only being used in the custard part of the pudding. This is nice either freshly baked or when cold. When ready serve cream with it. Some recipes call for less sugar in the meringue and others suggest simply heaping up the beaten whites of the eggs and dredging sugar over them just before returning to the oven to cook the meringue. THE PORCH IN SUMMER. Cushions and Pillows That Make for Real Comfort. For porch furnishing and for the summer parlor couch there is nothing smarter than big cushions or square pillows of down, covered with the brilliant plaid material of fine spun cotton known as madras. Just why the East Indian name should be applied to a material made in the West Indies it would be hard to say. A deep garnet, crossed with golden bars, or narrow lines of deepest stem green, is blocked with white or yellow. Amber tones, a glowing yellow like the yolk of an egg are combined with deepest marine blue, or a chestnut brown. The plaid arrangement is utterly unlike that of the Scottish tartans, and always more vivid in coloring. These stunning cushions make a background most becoming to the face of the summer girl. Be sure that the corner of your cushions show "turban ends," small twists of hemmed madras shaped like bat's wings. These are exactly imitated from the tightly pulled knots with which the old-time plantation "aunties" used to tie their much-prized turbans. How to Launder Kerchiefs. When washing handkerchiefs put a small muslin bag containing a little arrowroot in the water in which they are boiled. This will give them a faint but agreeable scent when ironed. If borax is added to the rinse water it will give the sheer handkerchiefs a little body without making them harsh as when stiffened with starch. Then when ironing the handkerchiefs an excellent plan is to fold all torn or ragged ones in a three-cornered shape, while those that are in perfect condition may be folded square. If the members of the household are taught the significance of the different shapes they will often be saved from the embarrassment of opening up a ragged handkerchief, which was apparently respectable when neatly folded. Crab Jambalaya. Throw live crabs into boiling salted water and boil until the shells turn red. Take from the fire, cool, then pick the meat from the shells. Put a tablespoonful lard or pork drippings in a deep pot (an iron pot is best), add a large onion chopped fine. When browned add a tablespoonful flour, and as soon as browned and blended a cupful tomato. When thickened and smooth add three pints boiling water or hot stock and then a cupful rice. Boil until the rice is done, stirring frequently. Season with salt, pepper, parsley, celery salt. Lastly add the crab meat, cook ten or 15 minutes and serve. Chiffonade Salad. This is an excellent way to use up vegetable left-overs. Have for your foundation a bed of crisp white lettuce heart leaves. On one-quarter of the salad dish or platter arrange a mound of cold string beans; on another quarter have tomatoes cut in small disks and onions chopped fine; on a third quarter arrange some asparagus tips and on the last cold beets with chopped white of eggs and yolks pressed through a vegetable press. Pour French dressing over all, mix the vegetables together before serving and be sure to have all ice cold. Inexpensive Turnover. As a rule the embroidery on hem-stitched handkerchiefs is much finer than that on the turnovers one buys in the stores. When these handkerchiefs become worn in the middle cut out the four sides, sew narrow bands on, and you will have four pretty turnovers. Especially is this true when you have fine linen handkerchiefs. Mrs. C. Williams departed this life last Monday. Ernest Graves of Lincoln, Neb., is a guest in Denver. Mrs. Chas.

The tenth annual picnic of the Colorado Statesman was held at Bloomfield park last Thursday.

Doliver, Iowa, in his address before the Evansville Chautauqua this afternoon said that Thomas Dixon recently wrote him and asked him for his candid opinion on his books, "The Clansman" and "Leopard Spots." He said he replied, saying that any man like Dixon who held out no hope for 10,000,000 human souls was certainly not showing a Christian spirit, rather had the disposition of an atheist. NO DOUET OF THEIR CONDITION. Miss Barton Convinced That Two Men Required Incarceration. Miss Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, narrated recently at Atlantic City an episode in which she shared during a visit to the insane asylum at Norristown, Pa., that she made some years ago. Miss Barton went all through the nuge and well-kept asylum, and nothing extraordinary happened till she was departing. Then two men, conversing earnestly together, came over the lawn toward her. The first, lifting his hat politely, said: "Madam, I am the Angel Gabriel and I have been sent here by our Lord to inquire into the state of your spiritual health." Before Miss Barton could reply the second man spoke up: "Some men," said Uncle Ebben, "gifts de reputation of bein' wiser dan others simply because dey has been mo' lucky in dodging consequences." "Pay no attention, madam," he said "to this person. I am God the Father and I assure you that I assigned one to such an errand." "Some de reputa ars simply lucky in --- --- ADMISSION 25 CENTS.

Boise, Idaho.—A lunacy commission to inquire into the mental condition of Harry Orchard, the sensational witness of the prosecution in the Haywood trial, is being seriously considered. The defense has become convinced that the letter from Pennsylvania telling of the streak of insanity running in the blood of Orchard, alias Horsley, told nothing but the conservative truth. Orchard admitted that his maternal uncle, after being unbalanced for years had hanged himself. The star assassin was paler, more nervous, more nearly at the point of collapse when he made this admission than at any time since he has been on the stand telling his wonderful story of bloodshed. Messengers in the employ of the defense are hurrying to Canada and Pennsylvania, the former homes of Orchard's people, to collect evidence along this new, startling and very important line of defense. The reports they will make may not reach Boise before the present trial closes, but if there is a second trial the results of these investigations will be of tremendous import. The prosecution has entered upon a systematic campaign to have placed under arrest on charges of perjury the witnesses for Haywood's side. Several warrants had already been sworn out charging perjury against the witnesses for the defense, and a similar charge was made against C. W. Aller, formerly an operator at Florence and Cripple Creek, who testified that Detective D. C. Scott and Orchard had been together three times to his knowledge; and his arrest is because of this testimony. Bond has been fixed in this case at $5,000, and the prosecution is allowing it to be nosed abroad that other arrests on the same charge will be made. The defense announces that every case of this kind will be defended by the same lawyers, Claree Darrow and E. F. Richardson, who are leading in the fight for Haywood. Cross-examining Detective D. C. Scott, Darrow asked him: "You knew that the first time Orchard went to see Moyer and Haywood you gave him a railroad pass and money?" Scott admitted that such was the case, and furthermore, admitted that Orchard had been with him seventimes, and that on one occasion he gave him $45. By the time Darrow finished with this witness, the impression was created that Orchard had been associated with him for the purpose of spying on miners and trying to get at Moyer, Haywood and others. Dr. I. L. McGee will give bond on the charge of perjury against him. As a witness for the defense he told of Orchard having been in a gambling game miles away, when Orchard swore he was at the Bunker Hill mine at the time of the explosion there. Steamer Strikes Rock in Fog. New York.—The Long Island Sound steamer Shinnecock, from Greenport, L. I., for this city, with 200 passengers, ran ashore upon the northeast end of Heart Island during a dense fog on the morning of July 15th. The Shinnecock is high and dry upon the shore. Tugs have gone to her assistance. Her passengers are not considered in any danger. The wind is light and the water is smooth. The pilot of the Shinnecock was trying to pick his way through the fog when the ship rammed her nose upon the rocks. The passengers upon the steamer hurried from their staterooms to the decks when the crash came, but were told by the officers that there was nothing to fear. A hurried examination of the steamer's hull showed that several seams in the Shinnecock's bow had started and she was leaking slightly. Police from City island station put off in launches. They volunteered to take ashore any passengers who wished to leave the steamer. The passengers, seeing there was no danger, declined to leave, as the officers informed them that a steamer would be sent for them, to take them to New York. The Shinncock's officers said they hoped to get the steamer off at high tide. Later the passengers were taken off the steamer and conveyed in launches to City Island, where they awaited the arrival of a steamer to take them to this city. Some of the passengers made the trip to the city on trolley cars. Drainage System in San Luis. Monte Vista, Colo.—Arthur E. Morgan and his assistant of the Geological Survey are here making the preliminary survey for the extensive drainage system which will be constructed in the San Luis valley this summer for the purpose of reclaiming the alkali land. It is calculated that nearly 100,000 acres of land in the valley which had hitherto been practically worthless for farming purposes will be brought to a high state of productiveness by this means. The drainage system will be constructed in such a manner that lands may first be flooded and washed free from alkali and then this water will be taken by an extensive system of ditches to a large lake in the southern end of the valley. According to the present calculations it may be a year before the project can be completed, but it is recognized as one of the most important ever undertaken in the valley. The operation will be carried on under the supervision of the government, but the farmers and landowners, who will receive the direct benefit, will do the work. The scheme will require an expenditure of nearly half a million dollars. The water to flood the lands will be taken from the Rio Grande river and various irrigating ditches. SAW FATHER DIE STRANGE WHO SPIRITS MEET AT DEATHBED Though Three Thousand Miles Away the Son Sees His Sire Fall Back Dead Upon Bed. New York.—Although 3,000 miles separated father and son at the time, the Rev. Henry Rollings, a student in the New York Homeopathic Medical College, claims to have witnessed in a vision every detail of the scene at his father's deathbed in England at exactly the same time that his parent passed away. Two weeks after he had the vision, declares the Rev. Mr. Rollings, he received a letter announcing his father's demise and corroborating the incidents of his remarkable psychical experience. Rollings' father was Geoffrey Rollings of Bedfordshire, England. In relating his experience, Rev. Mr. Rollings states that after a particularly arduous day he returned to his lodgings and threw himself upon his bed exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep, from which he was awakened to behold a vivid picture, in which he says he saw his father as distinctly as he ever saw him in life and heard his parent call: "My boy, my boy, I am dying." The Ozonized Ux Marrow Co. (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Price 153 E. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, IL. Agents wanted everywhere. as he ever his parent am dying." His father lates, was which he w he knew f English. His father, the young minister relates, was lying in bed in a room with which he was not familiar, but which he knew from the furnishings to be English. He saw all of his relatives there except his sister and he wondered in his vision why she was absent. He saw his father sink back on the bed and he knew for a certainty, he says, although it was not an act of sensibility he was performing, that his father was dead. The letter from England, received a fortnight afterward, said that the elder Rollings died on the exact day and at the exact hour that the younger Rollings had had the death pictured to him. The letter said also that the elder Rollings exclaimed just before he passed away that he could see his son standing by his bedside. The strange room in the vision was explained by the statement that the family had moved from the old homestead to another house in Bedfordshire. The absence of the sister from the room was explained by the fact that she was ill at the time of her father's decease. Rev, Mr. Rollings received his theological education in England and was ordained in the Established Church. He came to America and for a time was curate of St. Anderw's parish of Rochester, New York, of which the Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey was then rector. Rev, Mr. Rollings and his father were much attached to each other and kept in close touch by letter before the elder's death. Denver.—Not a state fair, but an interstate fair, is planned for Denver next fall. G. A. Wahlgreen, general manager of the Denver-Overland Racing Association and owner of Overland park, is the chief promoter. Work is already begun in the execution of well-laid plans. The fair will embrace all kinds of exhibits from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska. Agricultural, live stock and mineral productions will be displayed and prizes will be offered for the best displays. The assistance of the railroads, the chamber of commerce, the real estate exchange and other Colorado organizations will be secured and an effort made to give Denver an interstate fair which will be second to none in the country. For several years there has been much talk of an annual state fair, and Overland park has been repeatedly spoken of as the most desirable place for holding it. Last year a committee of representative business men was appointed and after many meetings and ar endeavor to raise a sum of $10,000 the committee gave up, recommending that the plan for a state or 'interstate fair be not abandoned. There will be all kinds of amusements to feature the event, and if possible the Festival of Mountain and Plain will be revived. There will be the other usual features, such as balloon ascensions, athletic events, competitive drills and race horses. It is planned to have harness races then and not have them during the summer meeting at Overland, because of the friction of long existence between the followers of the harness horses and the gallopers. The promoters of the fair, including some of the best known men of Denver, are optimistic over the outlook for a successful interstate gathering of large proportions, and believe they will be able to work out their present plans to meet the approval of the Colorado people and the populace of the surrounding states. Yellowstone Lake, Wyo.—Seventeen "dudes" are lost in a snowstorm ten miles west of Sylvan pass, and if "Tex" Holm, the head of the Yellowstone Camping Company, wasn't along, serious anxiety would be felt for their safety. As it is, it is believed "Tex" will pull them through. He generally does. "Dude" is the generic name through the park for the average eastern tenderfoot who goes there. This special party of dudes has been here for a few days, and were bent on having the best time the park affords. Their hopes were realized if they were looking for novelty, for they have run into the only heavy snowstorm the park has seen at this time of the summer for years. Snow began to fall July 16th and continued all night, the storm increasing as the night passed. By morning it was heaped up in huge drifts. Just when the "dudes" will get out is uncertain. They have provisions, and maybe they are all right. Anyway, "Tex" is with them, and that looks hopeful. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` SO STRAIGHTENS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style desired consistent with its length.

The Nebraska Railway Commission has ordered a reduction of twenty-five per cent. in the schedules now in effect by the Adams, the Wells-Fargo, the American, the Pacific and the United States Express companies in Nebraska, and has instructed these companies to publish a new schedule. The various express companies have refused to publish the schedule and are subject to a fine of $1,000 each. Instead they applied to the United States District Court for an injunction to prevent the railway commission from seeking to establish a new schedule. Judge Munger, before whom the application was made, denied the injunction and decided against the express companies. He has, however, allowed the commission to appear and show why the injunction should not be granted. This will come up in Omaha. The reduction of twenty-five per cent, ordered by the Nebraska commission on all express schedules in effect in that state, if put into effect, will also reduce the through charges on express matter from Colorado to Chicago, St. Louis and the East on the same basis that the railroads are being forced to give Colorado a reduction in fares because of legislation in states traversed en route. Killed Over a Bunch of Keya Cheyenne, Wyo.—Emil Cossi was shot by Herbert H. Harper and died an hour and a half later. Harper was arrested by a witness to the shooting and is now in the county jail. He refuses to make a statement. A week ago Cossi and Harper, both of whom are employed by the Northern Colorado Power Company, quarreled regarding some keys, and several times later the quarrel was renewed. On two occasions, it is said, Harper threatened Cossi with a gun. The men boarded at the same place and they met on the porch of the house and fought. They were separated and Harper got a revolver. Returning he found Cossi standing on the sidewalk. A few words passed between them and Harper opened fire, sending three bullets into Cossi's body. A dozen people witnessed the shooting. Cossi was unmarried and came to Cheyenne from Denver four months ago. Nothing regarding his family connections is known here. A brother of Cossi is employed by the Denver Gas and Electric Company in Denver as a switchboard tender at the West Side station. Stranded on Mountain and Freezing. Geneva.—A party of twenty-two gypsies, men, women and children, are stranded at the top of the great St. Bernard pass owing to curious circumstances. On being expelled from Italy they ascended the pass, intending to go to Switzerland, but when they reached the top they were refused admission to Swiss territory by Swiss gendarmes. Unable to return to Italy, as Italian gendarmes followed them to see them across the frontier, they are now encamped at an elevation of 8,100 feet, unable to proceed. They may freeze to death unless either Italy or Switzerland relents. The monks of St. Bernard are feeding them and lending them warm clothing, but they can not be sheltered in the hospice because it is in Swiss territory. Speed Madness Did It. Washington.—According to a report received at the Navy Department, speed madness in striving for the quick-firing record is blamed on the battleship Georgia for the explosion which killed nine sailors and wounded sixteen. The accident occurred during target practice, which developed great rivalry among the gun crews of the different ships, and in the haste of loading and firing it is thought precautions were neglected. Boston.—The naval board of inquiry to investigate the cause of the explosion on the battleship Georgia last Monday, visited the United States naval station at Chelsea, to take the depositions of the injured men. The board of inquiry is composed of Captain Seaton Shroeder of the battleship Virginia, Captain W. W. Kimball of the battleship New Jersey, Lleutenant Commander Mark Bristol, chief ordinance officer of the fleet, and Lieutenant Kenneth Castleman, attached to the flagship Virginia. The board carefully inspected the turret in which the explosion occurred and took the evidence of such officers and men as were familiar with the conditions on board the turret at the time and witnesses of the affair. Owing to the critical condition of the men in the hospitals, four of whom it was feared might not survive the night, the surgeons in charge of the hospital would permit the board of inquiry to examine only three men. It is understood that the investigation of the board is practically complete and that its findings will be transcribed and forwarded to Washington through Admiral Thomas. It is known that the crew of the after-superimposed turret had an intense zeal to become the crack crew of the fleet, and it is thought that overzealousness and disregard of precaution in such rapid handling of the guns might have caused the tragedy, the explosion being due, possibly to unburned grains of powder from the breech igniting the powder. Makes a Rhyme and Dies. Florence, Colo.—Much mystery surrounds the suicide of Willard H. Craig, owner of the boarding house at Portland, in this county, who blew out his brains. He left two notes, but neither gave any clew as to the motive for the act. There are rumors to the effect that jealousy over his wife might have caused the suicide, but this has not been confirmed. The notes were addressed to no one in particular, and were written in a hand hardly legible. They follow: "Here is to the one that turned me around. Good-by. I will soon be under the ground." The other read: "No one should move or make any bother. I am dying to get out of my bother." The only explanation given for either of them is that at noon yesterday Craig had words with his wife regarding the payment of the ice bill. The teeman called as dinner was about to be served and was told to call the next day for his money, for Mrs. Craig is alleged to have said: "I haven't time to bother with it now." This seemed to worry Craig and is believed to be what he refers to in the second note. He did not intimate to any one, however, that he intended to end his life. Just before supper he came into the house, and, going into the room of one of the boarders, took the latter's .38-caliber revolver and then rushing into the washroom, sent a bullet through his head. The colored servant girl was the only witness. According to her story Craig held the notes in the left hand and looked at them as he fired the fatal shot. Two weeks ago Craig attended the funeral of Leonard Prentiss of Manzanaola and the sight of the dead man seemed to affect him greatly. Prentiss had been sick for months and his body was badly emaciated. Craig was 55 years old, a member of the Woodmen and Masonic lodges, and is survived by his wife and three daughters. Child Burned to Death. Montrose, Colo.—After hours of agony Juunita Streeter, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Streeter, died as a result of burns caused by tipping over a two-gallon can of boiling soup. The baby was burned from its hips down, and, it is said, she did not die so much from the stoppage of the pores, caused by the burns, as from the shock. The mother was cooking the two gallons of soup and the child, while playing near the stove, took hold of the pot, it is supposed, and tipped it over. The contents were boiling and the child's limbs were cooked almost immediately. The mother had stepped into the back yard. Attracted by the screams she found the baby lying on her back in a pool of the scalding soup and badly burned her own hands in removing the little one. A doctor was summoned at once and efforts were made to relieve the pain. At first it was not thought that the burns would prove fatal, but the girl suffered extreme agony and went into convulsions a short time before death as a result of the scare, together with the pain. The mother is prostrated. Poor Widow Made Scapegoat. Fort Collins, Colo.—In the County Court Rere, Mrs. Mary Payne, a widow, with two children, was convicted on one charge and plead guilty to three more charges of selling liquor illegally, and was sentenced to 260 days in the county jail. Mrs. Payne said a representative of the Tivolli Brewing Company of Denver told her how easy money could be made by selling his beer and that he started her in business. An officer of the Humane Society is expected here to take charge of the Payne children. Mrs. Payne lived with her two children in one room, and had a stock of liquor in another, which she sold from a near-by tent. "The agents of wholesale liquor houses or breweries who come into this community and induce people to violate the law regulating the sale of liquor will be liable to prosecution in my court," said Judge C. A. Nixon, after hearing the woman. Largest Anti-Trust Meat Market in the West. Restaurant, Hotel and Boarding House Businees Given Special Attention. E BURLINGTON CAFE R. A.

KOREA TOTTERS CABINET MINISTERS RESIGN AND WALK OUT IN BODY. RULERREFUSESTOABDICATE He Says He Occupies Position Through Ancestral Rights and Will Not Be Ousted. Seoul.-The Cabinet ministers, including the newly appointed household minister, have resigned. It is reported that the Emperor was very angry at his ministers on account of their having advised him to abdicate. He said to them that he occupied the throne by right inherited from his ancestors and that his subjects had no authority to advise his dethronement, much less to do so with the support of foreigners. Marquis Ito, in compliance with the Emperor's urgent desire to see him, even for a short time, proceeded to the palace this afternoon. Pak Yong Ho, who was recently pardoned and who, upon his return from Japan was appointed minister of the imperial household, has reported that the Emperor of Korea emphatically protests his ignorance regarding the dispatch of the deputation to The Hague and says his abdication would only tend to confirm his relation thereto. For this reason he will not abdicate. The Emperor, he says, will prove obdure in resisting his dethronement. durate in resisting his authority. The Emperor's loss of the loyal adherence of a large portion of his subjects will, it is believed, result in the gradual development of his majesty's policy to always play one minister or faction against another, so as to prevent the concentration of power in any single body, the result of this is that none will faithfully support him at the risk of life. The Emperor himself is constantly distrustful of all about him and haunted with the fear of an attempt upon his life. Consequently boiled rice is served him at each meal in a locked silver bowl which he opens with a key always kept about his person. Patriotic Koreans condemn his policy as sacrificing the national interest to his personal benefit and welfare. The Il Ching Hoi, a progressive association claiming a membership of 1,000,000, is now openly hostile to the Emperor and it is doubtful even if the few now standing by him will continue their support until the last. A sufficient inducement is likely to make them desert the Emperor, who is now in the most pitiful predicament. Placards were posted in one of the thoroughfares calling for the death of all Japanese officials in Seoul. The ministers are strongly guarded and every precaution has been taken to prevent riots and attacks upon officials. The Emperor is reported to be too worried to take food or sleep, but this report is considered to be one of his usual maneuvers to enlist the sympathy of his people. Actuated by Patriotism. Tokio.—As a result of urgent representation by the ministers, it was thought probable that the Emperor of Korea would abdicate in favor of the crown prince as the first step toward reform in Korea. This would have most likely been followed by the calling of a new convention, which, while keeping Korea's national existence intact, would limit the sovereign power in such a way that the ruler could exercise his powers only with the consent and approval of the Japanese resident general. The present ministers in Seoul say they are actuated by true patriotism and are determined to place the Korean government upon a firm basis, free from court intrigues and selfish plots. The report from Seoul that the Emperor attempted to seek refuge in a certain consulate is officially discredited, but it is thought that evidently intrigues are at work on a plan to remove the Emperor from the palace. A rumor that the Emperor has privately ordered the palace guards, 100 strong, to shoot any suspicious persons, is causing dismay to those not concerned in the plot. First Son An Idiot. The Hague.—Ex-Premier Yi Sang Sul, the only member of the Korean delegation still here, declares that he does not believe the Emperor will abdicate. He said: "Such reports are always spread by the Japanese as a threat when they wish to impress Seoul in order to obtain what they desire." Keiroku Tzuzuki, head of the Japanese delegation, also disbelieves the report, regarding the Emperor's abdication. He thinks that the Emperor, who is very astute, understanding that Viscount Hayashi's visit might mean that Japan had some punishment in store for him for the troubles he had caused Japan at The Hague, is endearing to avert the storm by announcing that he is ready to abdicate. "Certainly something must be done," said the Japanese delegate, "to protect ourselves against any further Korean incident like that at The Hague." M. Tzuzuki believes that even if the Emperor does abdicate, his successor will not be his first son, who is practically an idiot, but his second son, whose mother was a concubine, thus giving rise to all kinds of court intrigues. Emperor Changes His Mind. Tokio.—A late dispatch from Seoul says that the Emperor convened the elder statesmen at 1 o'clock, morning of July 19th. The Cabinet ministers waited in an adjoining room while the Emperor conferred with the elder statesmen. After a two-hours' conference his majesty finally yielded and made up his mind to abdicate. Much unrest prevails about the palace, and at another place a crowd of 2,000 is assembled. A portion of this crowd assaulted the office of the Daily Kokumin, but the mob was dispersed before heavy damage was inflicted. GETING DOWN TO ARGUMENTS. Attorneys in the Haywood Case Will Have Their Say. Boise, Idaho.—"Not to show the connection of the Pinkertons with this case is not to show the defense at all." exclaimed Clarence Darrow in his argument on the admissibility of evidence before Judge Wood. The defenders of Haywood are fighting hard to have the court permit the jury to consider the conditions in Colorado during the Peabody regime, the activity of the Pinkerton agency, the conduct of the Mine Owners' Association and the other evidence which tends to support the defense's contention that there is a conspiracy to railroad the leaders of the miners to the gallows. Darrow constantly argued that without regard to the technicalities of the law, justice demanded that the jury should be placed in possession of these facts. He did not mince words in accusing the Pinkertons, mine owners and Citizens' Alliance members of conspiring to wreck the federation. Senator Borah confined himself to a purely legal argument, contending that much of the evidence presented by the defense was not admissible. Mr Richardson closed in a brief speech, reviewing conditions at Telluride and Cripple Creek. The defense believes the state may attempt to reopen its rebuttal and in order not to be caught napping, the Haywood surrebuttall witnesses are being held hero. Some of the attorneys for the state believe that a mistake was made in failing to call Charlie Neville, General Wells and Detective Sterling to the stand. Dr. I. T. McGee will be arraigned for preliminary hearing on the charge of perjury. McGee, it will be remembered, swore that Orchard was in Mullen when the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill was blown up. McGee is wealthy and quite able to care for his interests. He charges that his arrest is attributable to an old grudge. In 1900 Prosecutor Hawley, according to McGee, was a candidate for United States senator. When the fusion convention met, McGee was a member of the conference committee and cast the deciding vote which gave the Silver Republicans the senator. This action shelved Hawley and gave Fred Dubois the toga. McGee declares that if pressed he will take off the lid and reveal sensational facts concerning this case, which he has held back out of consideration for certain distinguished citizens. More Tourists Than Ever. In spite of the absence of big conventions and special rates and lengthened schedules there were more tourists in Denver last month than was recorded for the same month in years. In fact, it is estimated that at the present time there are as many tourists in the city as were here during August last year, which was considered the top notch in tourist travel. The exact figures, as compiled by the Colorado Railway Association, shows that the increase for June of this year over June of last year was fifteen and three-quarters per cent. This does not include about 3,000 tourists who stopped over in Denver en route to the Pacific coast whose tickets were not validated by the local joint agency. The increase in business is accomplished in spite of the fact that the schedules between Denver and Chicago are much longer in time than they were last year. The increase in travel to Denver is greater by two per cent. during June of this year than in June of 1906 over the tourist business to the West. This shows that Colorado is getting a larger share of the tourist business than formerly over and above the general increase. It is expected that the receipts last week will show a decrease on account of the Elks' convention in Philadelphia, which took travel in the other direction, but this will be more than offset by people returning from the conventions in Los Angeles and Seattle who will stop here en route East. Colorado's Birthday Celebration. Denver.—Arrangements for the celebration of Colorado's birthday are being made and most of the $1,000 needed for the celebration has been raised. The names of E. L. Scholtz, T. P. Boutwell and C. T. Linton were added to the committee on arrangements for the parade, August 1st, at a meeting of the Sons of Colorado, which was held recently. The celebration will be started by the state artillery firing a salute on the Capitol grounds, followed by a grand parade which will be the feature of the day. Invitations from the committee have been issued to the Gentlemen's Driving and Riding Club, the Denver Restaurant and the Pioneers' society to take part in the parade. These have been accepted. Each society appearing in the parade will attempt a feature. A magnificent turnout is expected. The Pioneers' society intends to use twelve of its wagons and prairie schooners in the parade. The citizens and business men along the line of march will be requested to decorate their buildings. In addition all residents of the city will be requested to decorate their residences with bunting and flags. Within the next week the committee expects to have all preparations for the celebration completed. Who Murdered Aguilar? Saguache, Colo.—Mystery surrounds the murder of Clirio Aguilar, a Mexican sheep herder, aged twenty-three, who was found dead in a tent at a sheep camp on Carnero creek, twenty-five miles west of here. His head was nearly blown from the body, the result of three shots from a rifle. A bullet also had been fired through his heart. The coroner's inquest, which was held behind closed doors, found that the man was murdered, but the remainder of the verdict is kept secret pending further investigation. Aguilar was a herder for Narcissso Martinez a prominent and wealthy sheep owner of the Carnero district. Martinez was recently arrested on a charge of stealing sheep.

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suff ered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared. The itching was so severe that I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

There is no doubt that clothes to a very great extent make the woman, and that man is more easily allured by the grace of the gown than the grace of the mind, although, of course, he would have you think otherwise, and will hold forth with considerable emphasis on the text that no man ever knows what costume a woman has on, nor is he at all concerned with the shape of her hat, or the way she does her hair! Any woman realizes more accurately the real masculine attitude towards the feminine fashions. And what are the feminine fashions just at the moment? Well, they are making conclusively for the diaphanous fabric, the feathered hat and the lace insertion. The new model Irish lace dresses are quite delightful, specially those which have loose lace coats and skirts which fit tightly round the hips and flow outward at the feet. I prefer the loose coat and the thin blouse which is entirely made of lace, and more especially would I recommend this to the stout woman, for there is much reticence in the full loose coat, which at once conceals the outlines and disguises its attempt. Lace is not as transparent in its method as in its outward seeming. Still, under any circumstances the Irish lace dress, whether from Paris or from the Emerald isle, is not within the reach of most of us. We content ourselves, and well content ourselves, too, with dresses of fine lace, dresses of lawn, dresses of muslin. Never were the muslins prettier, especially as some one remarked with more wit than wisdom, "when they are cotton voiles." Cotton voiles grow in number, and improve in quality every day, while they remain pleasantly within the grasp of the most limited income, and disport, themselves gayly with stripes and checks and spots and flowered patterns, the stripes being most prominently in favor in every color and size. I advise those who choose a black and white stripe to be careful to select the narrowest, for in wide stripes lurks ever the suggestion of Brother Bones in his Sunday best. The narrow black stripe is altogether delightful when supplied with the appropriate vest of net or lace, and perhaps a touch of pale blue ribbon to form a tie or the edge of the collarband. Muslin and net ribbon-trimmed hats are asserting their right to consideration, and the manufacturers have devised many novelties in hats of linen, but these being destined to take the place of the panama, and assuming equally nondescript shapes, shapes which lend themselves to individual influence, and will appear smiling and even becoming when the crown is bunched into a hollow, and the brim irregularly convulsed. The linen hats with stitched brims and stitched crowns are trimmed with scarfs of crepe de chine or soft silk, the ends being embroidered and fringed. The newest belt is made of leather of one color, and striped with leather of another color, and this looks its best with a white foundation and striped in black. But elastic belts continue popular, no doubt, by reason of their adaptability, and belts of ribbon either buckled or held with embroidered buttons or hooks, are particularly becoming in the small waist. Much favor is still being shown to the ribbon belt, which is made in one with over-sleeves and braces of ribbon, these braces being either frilled or plain, made of the ribbon treated simply, or made of piece silk adorned with a trellis of silk, the best effect being gained by some dark ribbon which matches the skirt, while the blouse with which these are worn is of fine white soft lawn. China silk is also much in request, mostly bearing a design on either border, while the groundwork is invariably white, and silver embroideries glisten triumphantly from foundation of straw-colored net. Straw and buff are tones which hold their own, and may be found in net, 1 Original Design for an Afternoon Dress. Black taffeta, trimmed with black silk insertion. The skirt is tucked to fit round the hips. Black hat with long white feather fastened with a buckle. chiffon and glace, and attractive cloth frocks also strike these notes, and they look well if allied skillfully to black and white stripes. Light colored cloth and heavy gulure lace, and black and white stripes are a favorable union of fashion, and those whom fashion has joined let no woman set asunder until fashion has us convinced they do not agree. The American tobacco crop has within the last few years assumed greatly increased importance. Quality as well as the quantity has improved. The farmers in some parts of the south, where this crop has been taken up, are making money beyond their fondest dreams in the cultivation of tobacco, and it is said that the unusual sight has been witnessed there of the agents of the large manufacturing companies practically on their knees begging for a few bales of tobacco.

Elaborate Preparations for Midsummer Outing at Sulphur Springs. The date and place has been definitely selected for the annual summer meeting of the Colorado State Editorial Association. The date is July 22d and 23d, and the place is Hot Sulphur Springs. J. W. Kelley, president of the Denver Press Club, had communication by wire with Mayor D. P. Howard of Hot Sulphur Springs yesterday and concluded the matter definitely. Mr. Kelley is chairman of the committee of arrangements for the midsummer meeting. Lute Wilcox of Field and Farm and J. J. Barkhausen of the Colorado Democrat are the other two members of the committee. It was planned early this year to accept the invitation of General Traffic Manager W. F. Jones of the Moffat road to go into the new region along the Moffat road for the midsummer meeting. At first it was believed the meeting could be held as far West as Steamboat Springs, but it was found that a fifty-mile stage drive was not suited to the needs of the meeting and the place of meeting was changed to Hot Sulphur Springs. The members of the association will meet in Denver Sunday, July 21st and will leave the following morning over the Moffat road for Hot Sulphur Springs. They will reach that point at 2:30 in the afternoon and will spend the remainder of the day and until noon the following day there. Leaving Hot Sulphur Springs at noon July 23d, they will reach Denver that evening at 6:30. The following telegram was received by President Kelley of the Denver "Hot Sulphur Springs guarantees big trout dinner, horse racing, bucking contests, games, sports, etc., for entertainment of the State Editorial Association, and cordially invites all editors of the state to come. The more the better. There will be free hot sulphur baths to all delegates. We are a hot town and will give you a hot time." To this telegram the committee made answer that the editors would move en masse on the metropolis of Middle park July 22d. Arrangements will be made to care for 200 editors. Hot Sulphur Springs is one of the most enterprising towns in the state, and is situated 110 miles from Denver on the Moffat road. It has some of the most wonderful sulphur springs in the world. Kremmling and the other new towns of the region known as Middle park join in the celebration. A suitable program will be prepared for the midsummer meeting by the editors, but his will not take more than a few hours each day. The rest of the time will be given over to merrymaking. It is believed the meeting will be better attended than any that has ever been held in the state. Editors' wives are included in the invitations. Secretary J. T. Lawless of the State association will get out a supplemental announcement in a few days, telling of the change of program from the Routt county trip, which filled the hearts of the editors who regard stage rides with such trepidation. HOLDUPS SHOOT BRIDEGROOM. Denver Thugs Commit Dastardly Crime and Escapes. Denver.—Shot through the head by two boy highwaymen at 10 o'clock Sunday night because he refused to give up his wallet, John Cohan, aged forty-three, 1378 Irving street, may die. The young holdup men escaped. They were last seen running past Bloomfield park. Picked up nearly lifeless, Cohan was taken to the county hospital, where an examination showed his chances for recovery doubtful. One bullet entered the center of the jaw, took a course toward his right ear and lodged in his neck. Another pierced his right leg just above the knee. Cohan, married three weeks ago, was on his way home with groceries he had purchased of Philip Adelman, 2534 West Colfax. Directly opposite 2787 West Fourteenth street, two men, about twenty-two years of age, stepped from behind a dark fence and ordered Cohan to produce his money. He hesitated and two guns were flashed in his face. Frightened, he cried for help and simultaneously two shots were heard. There came another wild scream. When residents flocked out to see what had happened they found him in a pool of blood. He gurgled "robbers" and said he had been robbed. Then blood gushed from his mouth and he was unable to make himself understood. After Jackson Hole Rustlers. Thermopolis, Wyo.—Three Wyoming sheriffs, Felix Alston of Big Horn county, Charles Stough of Fremont county, and Frank Smith of Johnson county, have disappeared into the rough country between this place and the Jackson Hole, while on the trail of a gang of horse thieves, and no news is expected from them until they either run down their quarry or leave the trail at the Idaho line. Horse stealing has been frequently reported by ranchmen of Johnson, Big Horn and Fremont counties, and the depredations generally have been traced to one gang, of which it is alleged Walter Yos is the leader. All efforts to arrest members of this gang have failed because of the thieves' thorough knowledge of the country and their trick of jumping from one county to another, and occasionally into Idaho or Montana. Several days ago the officers picked up the trail of the thieves east of this place, followed it to Thermopolis and thence westward into the rough country beyond which lies Jackson Hole. The country in which Alston, Stough and Smith are now seeking the Yos gang is that made famous by the story of the Virginian's pursuit of Trampas, Shorty, et al. The Virginian and his tenderfoot friend rode through the same section that the sheeriffs are now traversing, and came out at the same objective point—the Jackson Hole. Whether or not the three genuine thief hunters will have the luck of the fictional ones and run down their quarry in the beautiful Jackson Hole is a matter of conjecture.
