A few days ago the American Federation of Human Rights filed a certificate of incorporation with the Recorder of Deeds of the Disti- trict. The objects and purposes of the Federation, should they be but partially realized will do much to hasten an era of prosperous good feeling among the peoples of America. Equal rights for all men, the combating of ignorance and vice in every form and the promotion of charity, benevolence and education, will engage the best efforts of its membership. Reports from various seciions of the country, which are constant and startling, seem to indicate that a crime wave of more than ordinary force has taken the white people of the country off their feet. New York during the part three months and more specifically during the three weeks just past has been a veritable maelstrom of the most horrible acts of fiendish cruelty. Chicago and other cities have also furnished an alarming panorama of tragedy and crime. For some time now we have heard very little of the burly Negro offender, whose enormities furnish material for extra large headlines and many paragraphs of highly sensational reading. We are all familiar with the story and the program: the inhuman fiend or the black brute, who is too often made the fiend or brute simply because he is black—the blood-hounds and the posse of indignant citizens—the partial and very often total failure of identification and then the noose and the bullet. This drama of vengeful realism has been so continuously presented to the American people during the last several decades and its grewsome horrors of detail have been so persistently exploited for the benefit of the reading public, that there can be little surprise that the normal conscience of America has at length rebelled and is now insisting that the truth shall be told in all cases and that an increasing measure of justice be meted out to all men irrespective of condition or color. Through this extraordinary showing of crime among white people three things are in evidence—that the Negro is improving in morals and citizenship—that a reform is in progress to give him the benefit of a fairer trial and judgement and that the usual efforts to minimize and obscure the offenses of white brutes is rendered abortive through the dearth of vicious acts furnished by the Negro on the one hand and the many horrors too prominent to be hid, which are being perpetrated by the other race. Way down in their heart mankind abhors the acts of all its criminals alike, yet the instinctive prejudice against the Negro is such that a generous and fitting need of praise for virtues and goodly deeds in constantly withheld, while his faults and misdeeds are usually paraded before the public under the glare of a powerful magnifying glass. Why this is so, is a social and psychological mystery too serious for consideration, with the thermometer hesitating around the hundred mark. We recognize the fact however and take hope in the belief that the instinct for right and justice for all men everywhere and in all conditions is Godgiving and its development to the point where its benefits must be the heritage of all alike, will be accomplished in good time to the satisfaction of all. Not so many years ago Frederick M. Sims make his advent into the social and office life of Washington. He came directly from New Mexico whence he had gone some years before from his home in Iowa. He was tall but delicately built; modest though courteous, intelligent and ambitious. The rustling, breezy, get-there sort of air so natural to that western country, was as much a part of him as the many evidences of inate gentility which his presence manifested. He was appointed to the Navy department as a messenger and through his ability as a stenographer was soon transferred to a position at $900. Now, if there is any other department of the government where DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1907. a Negro gentleman and scholar is more at a disadvantage and discount I should like to be informed as to its identity. Well, such conditions of service did not bother Sims one bit. He had confidence in his integrity and ability, was an expert at his business and knew no fear. Such elements never fail to win respect in time, even though grudingly accorded and so it was with him. The gold-lace, red-tape and very best intelligence of this great branch of the government gave him cordial recognition and ever increasing confidence and respect. He was advanced from time to time in his bureau, until he had reached the $1400 grade. Possessed of enormous energy he entered other fields of labor. He mastered the law and opened a law and real estate business and conducted a class in stenography for colored young men and women, many of whom now hold lucrative positions in the business life of the city. He cultivated a plot of ground in the suburbs which he tended in the early mornings and by such exercise husbanded his not over strong equipment of bodily health. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and an active promoter of the growing society of St. Lukes. He was at one time Assisstant Superintendent of the Metropolitan Sunday School, where his very best energies were given towards the establishment of the Kingdom of Christ in the hearts and lives of little children. But such lives of usefulness are often all too short from the view of our human eyes and so it seems concerning Frederick Sims, and after a brief illness, but a few days ago went the way of all the earth at the age of thirty nine. Comparatively young, was he not, yet from the view-point of accomplishment, of personal achievements which speak so forcibly, and so ereditably reflect the native genius of the Negro, and from that finer, inner, domestic life in which all, wife and mother, father and sister, were all so happy and each devoted to each other, it may be said this life was round and full and complete. Certainly when compared with many lives of inaction and persistent selfishness, his life has been very long indeed. The work of the world, far reaching as it is and embracing all the agencies of civilization is ever marching forward. There are those who will not work and it must be done. Is it not willing workers, like Frederick Sims, to whom it is given to do the extra share and thus insure the fulfilment of the Divine plan of the Ages? Is it not also promised that such as these, shall have a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. JOHN H. PAYNTER. Springfield, Mo., Aug. 5.—In the Criminal court to day the cases of Daniel D. Gilbrath and J. Hill Gooch, charged with being the leaders of the mob which hanged and burned three Negroes on the public square a year ago last Easter morning, were continued to August 15. It was stated that the cases were continued to give Prosecuting Atty. General Self time to communicate with Attorney General Hadley concerning the final disposition of the charges. The general opinion is that the cases will be dismissed owing to the inability of the prosecution to get witnesses. Kansas City, Mo., Aug., 5.—Had Charles Jones, colored, not paraded the streets and boasted that he had more money than any other Negro in Missouri he might have continued to spend his wealth on automobile rides, good clothes and other diversions. As it is he is occupying a cell at police headquarters. Jones arrived several days ago, flashing a roll. His liberality attracted the attention of the police. After a session in the sweat box Jones confessed that he was from Sulpher, I. T., where he had been employed as janitor in a bank. Some days ago the cashier overlooked a package of currency containing $6,000 when he closed for the day. When the loss was discovered the following day the janitor was also missing. Jones' wife, too, was brought to the station. It was found the symmetrical lines of her body were due largely to bills of various denominations, $2,500 being found on her person. Jones told the police where $3,000 more was planted. It was later unearthed. Jones' outing will cost only about $5000. "LET THE NEGRO ALONE" Under the above heading the Marshalltown Times Republican has a most splendid view of the race problem, which is the real solution of this question as we see it. This is what they say: "The best advice on the Negro question is "let the Negro alone." Do not abuse him and do not overlaud him or fill his head with notions of ideal equality. Both extremes are bad for the Negro and bad for the settlement of the so-called Negro question. He is here and he will remain here. Let him work out his own salvation. Let him alone and he will work out that salvation and he will begin at the right place. The mis- Continuedto fourth page. CONVENTION Of Western Negro Press Association Held in Topeka, Kans, August 12th and 13th in Eleventh Annual Session. Resolutions of Interest to the Race Adopted and Much Other Business Transacted. The eleventh annuel session of the Western Negro Press Association was held in Topeka, Kansas, August 12th and 13th. A large delegation was present, and volumes of business transacted. Among the resolutions adopted was one on the Brownsville affair, which reads: "We have the utmost confidence in the administration dealing justly with all men, yet we believe it has been misinformed as to the facts surrounding the Brownsville affair; and since a senatorial investigation has found our colored soldiers to be innocent of all charges, we urge the re-instatement of the discharged battalion. "We are not unmindful of the invaluable service rendered to our people and the country by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker in his noble and courageous defense of the army and the Negro soldier, and we take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the same." At the final session a resolution as to racial conditions in the South was adopted. It says: "In view of the fact that southern agencies, sustained by the taxes of all the people, are securing foreign immigration for the purpose of displacing Negro labor in the South, we therefore urge our people in the South to anticipate this movement to displace them, and come West and settle upon the millions of acres of free homestead land and cheap farms offered by friendly corporations seeking their entry. Here they will have larger opportunities in securing wealth, education, and all that goes to make a happy and contented nation of people. "We view with grave concern and alarm for the future of our country, upon the steady encroachment and widespread acceptance of the impracticable ideas of southern agitators which tend to promote racial strife, encourage unjust laws and debauch the Puritan ideas of right, reason and justice, which are embedded in the fundamental structure of our national commonwealth. Such teachings tend to pervert the objects and ends of Christianity, cause hatred and hypocrisy in public schools on the part of teachers and students, and bring about a complexity of unpleasantness in every phase of daily life." Attention was called to agitation NO. 48. in the North, claimed to have been brought about against the Negroes by southern people. The editors went on record as favoring the admission of Negroes to the West Point Military Academy, besides giving them admission to the artillery and marine corps. The movement to get the race into commercial lines more than ever was commended. The national administration was praised for interference in peonage cases. Full suffrage to the Negroes was asked. Disapproval of the proposed constitution of Oklahoma was asked of the President by the association. The resolution on this point said that the most offensive clause in the Oklahoma instrument was that which "enables a white man to marry an Indian and rob her of her land." The resolutions are to be presented to Mr. Roosevelt through Senator Charles Curtis, and a copy, of them is to be sent to Senator J. B. Foraker. After J. H. Childers of the resolutions committee had finished them, they were adopted without discussion. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the United States Treasury, was introduced, and said: "I didn't come here to discuss administration matters. They will take care of themselves, in time. At present I am on the inside looking out, while some others are on the outside looking in. And I can't well say much more than that." Mr. Vernon concluded by saying that he felt it was proper for the Negroes to assert their rights when they were brought in contact with the Jim Crow car laws, but he assured all that there was no such statute in Kansas, and the people here, white as well as black, were liberal-minded. Officers of the association were elected as follows: President, W. H. Duncan, Colorado Springs, Colorado; vice president, John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Iowa; corresponding secretary, R. E. L. Bailey, Kansas City, Missouri; recording secretary, P. S. Simpson, Colorado Springs; treasurer, J. B. Bass, Helena, Montana; historian, Albert Ross, Kansas City, and chairman executive committee, Nick Chiles, Topeka. It was decided that the association should make efforts to handle news plate matter particularly adapted to the use of Negro newspapers. ```markdown ``` Miss M. Cowden Miss M.

MONUMENT TO THE PIONEERS Elegant Structure to Be Model of Completeness for Comfort. Denver.—Not a pioneer monument with a treacherous redskin upon its summit, but a real, serviceable monument to the pioneer—one that will testify the appreciation of the people who followed the men who blazed the trail and at the same time serve some useful purpose without offering offense is what is now promised by the energetic organization known as the Sons of Colorado. A home on a scale broad enough to include organization headquarters for the Pioneers, the Pioneer Ladies' Aid Society and the Sons of Colorado is a work which is to be immediately undertaken. Many prominent members of the Sons of Colorado have talked of this building for some time, and since the successful celebration on Colorado Day, the leaders in this movement have been together at several informal meetings and propose to proceed at once with work. It was not the intention this early to give publicity to the actual beginning of the undertaking, but Clarence E. Hagar, president of the Sons of Colorado, admitted that the campaign was on for such a home. Always to be a characteristic tribute to the pioneer, and not a glorification of the Indian, this home will be given over to the Pioneers and Pioneer Ladies' Aid Society during the lifetime of these organizations, retaining office room for the Sons of Colorado. The ultimate ownership of the home will rest with the Sons of Colorado and its ladies' auxiliary, these societies being self-perpetuating in that the membership will pass from generation to generation, the sons and daughters of members being eligible to join. For perhaps a score of years yet the building will be under the direct control of the pioneers and used by them. While public-spirited citizens will be asked to defray the expense of the structure, there will be no suggestion of charity, as the Pioneers came of too sturdy a race, and have done too much for the state, to even consider such a proposition on any basis of that kind. Arrangements will be made for life membership for a reasonable amount within the means of the applicant. Among these stalwart men and women who came on before and made the journey easier for those who followed, there are a goodly number who have been wonderfully blessed with the goods of this world. It will be from among these men and women that the principal aid will come for the building of the home. The Sons of Colorado laid the foundation for the official celebration of Colorado Day when they secured the passage in the last Legislature of the law to make the first of August, the state's birthday anniversary, a holiday. The pioneers were prominent in adding to bring about this result. The first pageant for Colorado Day inspired all who saw it. The pioneers themselves were the great feature, but the Sons of Colorado did much of the work of arrangement. The Sons now declare that by the time the next Colorado day arrives the festivities will equal those of any other holiday celebration in the year. The commercial bodies of the city will be urged to take part, and an industrial division of the parade and pageant will be provided. Many of the wealthiest pioneers and other public-spirited citizens have inforsed the plan in the quiet canvass which has been made by the projectors of the scheme; and have promised not only their moral support but substantial financial aid. The formal meeting to adopt the plans already made will be held before the end of the present month. KISER GETTING FROM UNDER. One of the Men Arrested on Charge of Firing Depot Will Cheep. Boulder, Colo.—George W. Teal and George F. Fonda, both of this city, were in Denver and had a short talk with Kiser in the jail. Kiser said to them that he was not responsible for the fire at the Colorado & Southern depot, because Reeves set it, and he could not keep him from doing so. He did not deny, however, that he set one of the first fires, nor that he stood by Reeves when the latter put the waste and the straw in the box car which caused the conflagration, nor did he deny that he and Reeves sneaked off together to the brewery, and from there watched the flames spread without sending in an alarm. Kiser impressed the men as attempting, in a cowardly way, to evade his share of the responsibility. The actions of Harvey Pool may be inquired into, as he was told by the men that they would do something, and after they did commit their crime he did not tell the officers who the men were, in fact, did not tell them that he had been warned to remain away because it was desired he should not be implicated. While the officers were on the hunt for the guilty men he kept under cover. "How Doth the Busy Bee." Longmont, Colo.—This August weather is exceptionally fine for the production of honey, and during the last two weeks the bees have been making up for lost time. J. H. Taylor, living southeast of Longmont, who has 150 hives of bees, has taken off almost one-half of the honey, amounting to 4,000 pounds. Mr. Taylor says the bees will not pay any attention to a chunk of pure honey laid on a board in the yard near the hives. He says this is a good sign that the honey flow in the fields is exceptionally good. He ships honey to different parts of the United States and has already made one shipment to Joplin, Missouri. Mother's Death in "Scab" Message. Des Molnes, Iowa.—William Reynolds, railway telegraph operator at Mapleton, near Sioux City, on the St. Paul railway, refused to take a telegraph from a non-union operator at Cedar Rapids. Later he was called by long-distance telephone and told that his mother was dead at Cedar Rapids it being the message he had refused to receive by telegraph. COLORADO AS HORSE STATE SECRETARY WILSON BELIEVES FINEST HORSES IN WORLD ARE RAISED HERE. REVELATION TO MANY THE EAST KNOWS BUT LITTLE OF THE WONDERFUL RESOURCES OF THE WEST. Denver—"Colorado will soon be knowns as the state where the best horses on this continent, if not in the world, are raised. They will be Colorado horses, bred from the best draft, running and trotting bloods in the country." So spoke Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson during the few hours spent in Denver on his return to Washington from a six weeks' trip through the states of the West and Northwest. Particularly interested in the horse-breeding experiments on the combined government and state horse-raising lands, in charge of the State Agricultural school at Fort Collins, Secretary Wilson passed one day at that institution. "A herd of colts," he continued, "as fine as can be seen anywhere, are now kicking up their heels at Fort Collins, the best ever produced in this country. The climate, and conditions in general, are ideal for horse raising. "For several years past I have been hearing a lot about Fort Collins horses, and my western trip wouldn't have been complete without going there. Rarely have I been more pleased with the progressive steps of agricultural men. "I found farmers in the vicinity of Fort Collins making $75 an acre on a single crop of beets. I remember when I sent the people of Fort Collins district their first beet seeds. I never dreamed then that such magnificent results would be attained." Secretary Wilson's trip through the West included visits to the forest reserves. Fires Not So Numerous. "Fires in the reserves have been greatly reduced in number this year," he said, "and it is our hope some day completely to prevent them. In the state of Washington $75,000 worth of timber within the forest reserves was destroyed by fires last year, and $350,000 was the loss in the Washington forests outside of the reserves. "Forest reserves are proving valuable. I have never heard a really good argument against a forest reserve. It is greed in a man that makes him oppose them. In the upper section of this state yesterday I asked an old settler way he objected to the reserve. He thought for a moment, and then, with the frankness characteristic of the settlers in Colorado, said, 'Why, I want to cut down the trees and turn the timber into money.' "That is the usual argument; they want to turn the timber into money regardless of consequences. But the man who looks ahead realizes the great benefits of timber reservations. "One thing in particular has attracted my attention in Colorado," concluded Secretary Wilson, "and that is the cattle raised here. Steers from Fort Collins are going to make a strong bid for the big prizes at the Chicago show this fall. They are going to surprise stockmen all over the country." Secretary Wilson is accompanied by his son, Jasper, who acts as his private secretary. SNAKE RIVER TENT CITY. Camp Wantland Has Been Established For Convenience of Homesekers. Denver—"Camp Wantland," a "tent city," requiring in its construction several carloads of canvas and tent poles, is being established on the east bank of the Little Snake river in Routt county, north of Lay, Colorado, twenty miles south of the Colorado-Wyoming line. The camp is to accommodate settlers who are beginning to leave for the valley to examine the 38,000 acres of land, to be thrown open by the state land board under the Carey act. Camp Wantland will be the mobilization point at the lower end of the valley, although smaller camps will be maintained at other points between Lay Colorado, and Baggs, Wyoming. The canvas town will have sleeping accommodations for 500 people, and a dining room tent, in which 150 people can be fed at one time. The central camp is on the L-Seven ranch, an old cow camp, formerly a rendezvous for Tom Horn and his associates. Historically, it is a point of considerable interest. It is seventy-five miles from Wamsutter on the main line of the Union Pacific, and the same distance from Steamboat Springs on the proposed line of extension of the Moffat road. The valley is reached from the Union Pacific railroad by stage from Rawlins, Wyoming, or by automobile lines from Wamsutter, Wyoming, over the Moffat road from Kremmling, via the Steamboat Springs, Craig and Lay, over the Rio Grande by stage or wagon route from Ri*e*, Colorado, via Meeker, Craig and Lay, or from Wolcott, via Steamboat Springs and Lay. Old Town Has Fine Ore. Idaho Springs, Colo.—In the bottom of the shaft on the Old Town mine Manager George Kimball reports opening up five feet of solid ore. For 300 feet overhead he has some of the highest grade smelting ore ever taken from the mine. The shaft is now down 1,900 feet and making rapid progress for the connection with the lateral from the Newhouse tunnel. Although there has been some delay it is the intention of Kimball to have the lateral connected with the shaft by the last of this year. The mine is outputting 3,000 tons of ore each month. BLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR. Chinaman Was Different from Any He Had Had Dealings With. When former Minister Wu Ting Fang left this country he was accompanied by an extensive retinue and attended to the steamer by a delegation of local Chinese merchants. The customs officials, who then were also immigration inspectors, carefully took the names and count of the local Chinese as they went on board. This precaution was to prevent some deported or otherwise not welcome celestial from effecting a landing by joining the merchants as they came ashore after taking a ceremonious farewell of their distinguished countryman. Half an hour or so after Wu and his friends had gone on board one of Wu's secretaries arrived on the dock and was hurrying up the gangplank when a customs inspector selzed him by the arm and pulled him back on the wharf. "Washamalla you, John, I no takee name, you no can come back. Who you belong?" said the inspector, smiling at some girls with whom he had been talking. The Chinese shook loose the inspector's hold on the loose sleeve of his silk robe and with quiet dignity remarked: "This violence is unnecessary, sir, and my name is a matter of no interest to you. I am a member of his excellency's suite. I go on board this steamer to leave this country, never again, I hope, to return." That customs inspector is still on the force, but never since has he tried to be funny with a Chinese gentleman. —San Francisco Call. USED BY THE DOCTORS. Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Prescribed Are Patent Medicines. Despite the opposition of physicians, especially of those whose experience has been neither far reaching nor profitable, to "patent" medicines, ninety per cent of all drugs that physicians use are put up and compounded by manufacturing concerns,—are, in fact, "patent" medicines just as truly as if they were advertised in the newspapers. The average doctor knows little or nothing of pharmacy and is, therefore, glad to depend on the very medicines, which in public he condemns, just as he is obliged in many cases to depend on the diagnosis of the patient himself, even while publicly decrying what he calls "self-diagnosis." How rapid has been the growth of the professional use of "patent" or "proprietary" medicines is shown in an article written for the Journal of the American Medical Association for September 29, 1906, by A. Jacobi, M. D., LL. D. He relates that 50,000 prescriptions, compounded in several drug stores were carefully examined. From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was found for "patent" or "proprietary" medicines. In 1874 but one prescription in 1,500 called for ready-to-use remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the number calling for "patent" or "proprietary" medicines equalled two per cent of the total. This increased to 5 per cent in the period between 1880 and 1890. In 1895 it was 12 per cent, in 1898 it was 15 per cent, and in 1902-1903 it was from 20 to 25 per cent. Dr. Jacobi says that in a large store he was assured that 70 per cent of the prescriptions were for "patent" or "proprietary" medicines, and this probably is approximately the correct proportion at the present time. From this it would seem that if the "patent" and "proprietary" medicines are good enough for physicians to prescribe in seven cases out of ten they are good enough for family use in cases of necessity and where the symptoms are well known and as easily understood by the people as by the doctors. TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT. Wife's Sneering Comment Met with Sharp Answer. Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner of the American Booksellers' association of New York said: "I once knew a San Franciscoan who married a girl for her money. She was not a pretty girl, and as time passed and love cooled, she developed a rather tart tongue. "One day her husband bought with his quarter's allowance a 20-horsepower automobile. He took the car home gayly and brought his wife out to the front door to look at it. She gave one sneering glance, and then said: "It's very fine, but if it hadn't been for my money, it wouldn't be here." "Well, Mamie,' said the husband, quickly, 'if it hadn't been for your money you wouldn't be here yourself.'" Inventor of the Boomerang. The boomerang is rather a puzzle. One might think that the highest laws of mathematics had been laid under contribution in the perfecting of it. The convexity on one side, the flatness on the other, and the sharp, knife-like edge on the inside of the convexity have the air of having been carefully thought out. Yet the people who invented this singular weapon cannot count higher than five and are destitute of all the arts and amenities of life. Thelrs is perhaps the lowest plane of human life. Some people have assumed that the boomerang was the creation of an older and higher civilization, but for this there is no evidence. It must be the product of one age long empirical use of throwing weapons. Arthur Combs was before Justice Brown at Boulder charged with a statutory offense, and in default of $1,000 ball was committed to await the action of the grand jury. Cashier W. H. Allison of the First National bank of Boulder says a trust company is to be run in connection with the bank. A room for this purpose is being prepared. Smith Payne, aged fifty-four, a mine watchman, expired suddenly at Cripple Creek while engaged in putting up a stove pipe at his residence. Apoplexy was the direct cause of death. Ed Andrew, by his mother, Betty Andrew, has sued the Parkdale Fuel Company for $12,000, for injuries sustained while he was working in the coal mine owned by the company near Boulder. Thirty tenderfoots from the East, some in fantastical cowboy and cowgirl makeup, rode into Cripple Creek from the Skeleton ranch near Woodland Park. Thirty-five miles away. After a delay of fifteen years settlement of the estate of James Williams at Georgetown has been perfected, a certified copy of the decree having been filed with the county clerk and recorder. B. L. Morey was found dead in a little dugout near Pueblo, in which he had been sleeping during the warm weather. Morey had been an engineer at the South Side waterworks. Morey was twenty-eight years old and leaves a widow and two children. Mamie Poulson of Leadville, aged eight, suffered excruciating pain for eight hours as the result of getting a fish hook in her eye. The child was out fishing and in casting the line the hook caught in her eye. The hook was removed, the child suffered untold agony until the operation was performed. Mrs. Charlotte Garbe died in Fort Collins at her home on Riverside avenue, aged seventy-nine years, from old age. Mrs. Garbe was born in Germany in 1829 and came to the United States when a child. She came to Fort Collins in 1879. She leaves a son, William, and a daughter, Mrs. Lottie Dandewark. An inquest was held over the body of Wallace Rogers, a miner employed by the Granite Gold Mining Company at Victor. Rogers was caught by a falling rock. His lower limbs were crushed and he died five hours after the accident at Red Cross hospital. He was twenty-eight years of age and leaves a widow and infant child. G. C. Hewitt, one of the most prominent mining engineers in the country, and for twenty-three years a resident of Colorado, died from heart failure, superinduced by acute gastritis, at his home in Colorado Springs. He was fifty-four years old and is survived by a father, a widow and three sons, aged eight, ten and twenty-six years, respectively. The annual normal institute of Pueblo and Custer counties closed after a two weeks' successful session. The attendance this year has been above the average. Among the special features of the closing day was an address by Professor Thomas of the State Agricultural College on "Pioneer History, and Its Relation to National Affairs." Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, paid Fort Collins a short visit for the purpose of inspecting the horse breeding station conducted by the State Agricultural College for the government, and to look over the work being done at the experiment station and on the college farm. Secretary Wilson was in Fort Collins at the time of the establishment of the station three years ago. Judge Sheafer of the District Court at Colorado Springs repealed his former alternative writ of mandamus ordering County Treasurer Simmons to pay Senator Cornfort $13,280.63 by a peremptory writ. Treasurer Simmons at once paid the amount. The sum is for services rendered by Mr. Cornfort in aiding the attorney general's office in collecting the Stratton estate inheritance tax. He had been paid $750 on account, the above sum representing the balance. Burritt Seymour, the popular left fielder of the Central City Boosters, who had his leg broken during the game with the Pikers team of Idaho Springs, was taken to Denver and placed in a hospital. His condition has been critical and scarcely any hope has been held out for his recovery. The young man was injured while running from third base to home plate and his injuries were promptly attended to, but on account of heart trouble and congestion of the lungs his condition became quite serious. As the result of a collision with M. D. Thatcher's automobile, C. J. Heine, a lineman for the Denver & Rio Grande, who was riding on his bicycle, was seriously, if not fatally, injured at Pueblo. The accident occurred in front of St. Mary's Hospital, where he was taken at once. He was badly bruised about the hips and back and received several deep scalp wounds. It is also said he was internally injured. Cary Culver recently died at his home on the Little Thompson, near Longmont, of paralysis, aged sixty-seven years. Mr. Culver was born in New York, came with his wife to Colorado in 1860 and has been identified with this section ever since. He engaged in stock raising, for many years, devoted his time to raising and breeding blooded horses, and later conducted a livery business in Longmont. He leaves a large estate. Mr. Culver leaves a widow and five children, H. A., Henry R., Frederick W., Roland and Mrs. Amelia Col2. One evening as United States Senator La Follette of Wisconsin was shaking hands with people to whom he was being introduced at Boulder, one man came up to see if the senator would recognize him. They had been boys together in Wisconsin forty-two years ago. As soon as La Follette saw him he stretched out his hand and said, "Why, how do you do? I have not seen you for forty-two years, have I?" The remembrance seemed remarkable, but it is said the Wisconsin senator seldom forgets a face, and especially one of his boyhood friend IN THE NAME OF CHARITY. Jack London's Story Carries Sting of Truth and Pathos. "Jack London's famous definition of charity—'sharing a bone with a dog when you're as hungry as the dog'—recalls a story about charity," said a magazine editor, "that I heard Mr. London tell at a farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark. "Mr. London said two old men were smoking and drinking together after dinner. "The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared. "'Confound you, stupid!' said the host. 'Didn't I tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!' "‘Come, come,’ said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in a great fright. ‘Come, come, my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant?’ "‘Oh,’ said the other, 'she's not a servant. She's only a poor relation I'm keeping out of charity.' "‘The guest looked relieved.’ "That alters the case, of course," he said."—Washington Times. No Doubt About It.

"One summer morning," he said, "the approach of a great flock of sheep obliged me to pull off the narrow country road. I halted my car, and watched with interest the passage of the sheep, the intelligent dogs and the shepherd. "I had a short talk with the shepherd about his odd and difficult trade. "Look here,' I said, 'what do you do, driving sheep like this on a narrow road, when you meet another flock coming in the opposite direction?" "Well,' said the shepherd, 'ye just drive straight on, both of ye, and the one that has the best dogs gets the most sheep.'" What Did She Mean? Mrs. Armitage had a negro servant who continually prated of a certain Mrs. Reed for whom she formerly worked. Weary of hearing Mrs. Reed quoted so often, the mistress asked one day: "Well, Samantha, what kind of work did you do at Mrs. Reed's, anyway?"

Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, having A. B. B. run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. SETTING THE BRIDE AT EASE. "Wildder's" Sympathy Went Out to Fellow Passenger. A couple recently married had just entered the train that was to bear them to the mountains on their honeymoon, when they became aware of the close scrutiny of them by a female passenger, who had evidently "spotted" a bride and groom. The young wife, on opening her handbag, let fall some rice on the floor, and the woman smiled. The other passengers regarded the couple with interest. Seeing that the bride was every moment becoming more flushed and uncomfortable by reason of their scrutiny, the woman in the goodness of her heart, leaned across the carriage.

THE BOULDER MYSTERY WHISKY IS GIVEN AS THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE DEED THAT MAY HANG THREE MEN. Boulder, Colo.—While Frank Kiser, who, according to the Boulder officials, has signed a confession stating that he aided in starting the great fire which cost four lives and destroyed property valued at $250,000 sits brooding, a prey to remorse, in a cell, his mother, Mrs. Nellie Kiser, who was badly injured in the explosion following the fire, lies moaning in a delirium at St. Gertrude's academy. In addition, the little home which gave shelter to both Kiser and Reeves, the man who is said to have plied the torch, is in ruins, wrecked by the same explosion. Aroused by the cry of fire and the glare of the flames in her room, Mrs. Kiser arose and was watching the fire from her pantry window, not 200 feet from the depot, when the explosion occurred. The shock tore the roof from her, covered her with glass and plaster and a flying transom struck her in the back, hurling her, bruised and bleeding, to the floor. Despite her own injuries, her first thought was for her son, whom she knew was at the fire, and she rushed out to ascertain his fate only to hear that he had probably been blown to atoms. Scarcely had she been assured of his safety when his arrest, on a charge of being an accomplice, followed and she became seriously il' Hears Report in Silence. When the report that her son had confessed reached her she received the information in stony silence. Then going to a telephone she requested S. E. Beck, a carpenter, to come to her house and board up the doors and windows. The carpenter set to work without inquiring whether Mrs. Kiser was in the building or not, and was just nailing up the front door when neighbors, knowing that she was in the house, began an investigation, fearing that she had committed suicide. Mr. and Mrs. Mock entered, and failing to find her after a thorough search, were about to leave, when Mrs. Kiser suddenly appeared on the threshold of one of the rooms. In her hand she carried a picture of her son, taken when he was a small boy. "This is my little Frank," she said, proudly extending the picture toward the visitors, "my own little boy," and then the vision of the past faded in the mother's mind, and "Oh my Frank!" she wailed. "He couldn't have done it, I know he didn't do it. My boy! My boy!" While Mr. and Mrs. Mock were trying to soothe the distracted woman sisters from St. Gertrude's academy appeared and took her with them to their building on University hill, where she is at present. No one is allowed to see her and no statement will be given out through the sisters. Bartel Makes Statement. Sheriff Charles F. Bartel returned from Denver and made the following statement as to the wanderings of the men after setting the fire: "As soon as the fire had started Reeves and Kiser ran back to Tweifth street and cutting across the railroad bridge hurried up Arapahoe to the Crystal Springs brewery, according to their confession. Here, a few minutes after the fire broke out, they had a long conversation with James R. Simons, the night engineer. He furnished them with hot water to wash the incriminating grease off their hands and then they stayed and talked with him until after the explosion. "Simmons still maintains that this part of the confession is not true and says: 'Not a single person came up here the night of the fire and nobody talked with me. Many were standing in the yard watching the fire.'" Assistant District Attorney T. A. McHarg and Sheriff Bartel both believe that the men saw Simmonds and talked with him, especially as this clew was furnished before the men's confession was obtained and was used in presenting the evidence to the suspects. Continuing, Sheriff Bartel said: "Hid on the Trucks. "After the explosion the men left the brewery and went up the street to Ninth, where they went down on the bridge to the railroad track. Kiser had a bottle of whisky with him but was nor so drunk but that he had sens enough to hide on one of the trucks of a box car. "Although Reeves lived with Kiser, he left before long to go home, while Kiser went inside a box car and went to sleep. He was afraid to go home and face his mother, as he knew that he was guilty. When Reeves arrived he found Mrs. Kiser violently hysterical, grieving and crying, because it had been reported that her son was blown up. Her home was in ruins and she herself had been injured by the explosion. Reeves tried to console her, stating that Kiser was all right and that he knew where he was and for her not to worry. He refused, however, to tell where Kiser was at that time. Kiser was arrested at Ward and brought to Boulder. But he was soon released in order to keep him guessing what the sheriff's office was doing, while in the meantime we gathered the facts. "Liquor has been the cause of the arrest of all but one of the men accused of a felony during my three years as sheriff, and that exception was the only man to be acquitted. Furthermore, a peculiar thing I have noticed is, that while not all cigarette smokers are criminals, I have yet to see the criminal who is not a cigarette flend." SUGGESTION FROM DELAWARE SEEMS GOOD. Small Amount of Nutmeg Added to the Seasoning—Making the Little Fancy Cakes—To Add Chocolate Coating. Down in Delaware, where they pride themselves on being good housekeepers and cooks, they make their angel cake like everybody else except one little point about the seasoning, which is this: Whether vanilla or lemon be used for flavoring a very little nutmeg is added, for it is considered that it improves either one. If you do not wish to use grated nutmeg in light cakes an infusion of it in spirits will make a flavoring that is handy at any time for cookies, or spice cakes, or fruit cake. If little fancy cakes are desired it is well to make a good light loaf cake and cut it in cubes and finish these little cakes with different icings—white, chocolate, green and rose color in soft tints—with a nut or cherry or bit of citron in each. Another thing to do is to make a delicate sponge cake mixture and bake it in small drop cakes, evening the edges with a round cutter when baked. Spread them with apricot marmalade or something similar and put two together. Now prepare to dip these little cakes, called bouchees, in a chocolate coating. Make a gill of sugar and water syrup, flavored with vanilla, in a double boiler, and add a fourth of a pound of chocolate. Add sufficient very fine confectioners' sugar to form a stiff paste. Stir over the fire until it is warm. Dip the little double cakes in this and lay on a sieve to drain. Dry the chocolate glaze in a warm oven. Leave the door open rather than allow it to become too hot. To make the sponge cake part use six eggs. Break them separately. To the yolks add two tablespoonfuls of orange-flower water and one-half a pound of fine sugar. Beat with a spoon for five minutes. Whip the whites until firm. Mix these lightly in with the yolks and sugar before adding the flour. Five ounces of flour will suffice, and it must be sifted. Make a cone out of a stiff sheet of white paper which is sized. Fill with the sponge cake mixture. Fold over the top and then cut off the point so the batter can be squeezed out by pressing the top. Squeeze out into rounds upon white paper laid on a baking sheet. The same mixture can be made into lady fingers. Many of the lady finger cakes have an admixture of corn starch instead of all flour, as it makes a fine gralned cake. Bake a short time to a light color. To Preserve Grapes. There are several methods, but it would be impossible to recommend any one of them without first making the experiment. If you like, however, you might try an old-fashioned rule: Place the bunches of grapes gently between layers of cotton that have been arranged in a large glass, or earthenware jar. Seal this jar so securely that no air can reach the fruit. Then keep in a cool closet.—The Delineator. Mock Crab Sandwiches Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter; add one-quarter of a cup of grated cheese; one-quarter teaspoonful each of salt, mustard and paprika; "a sweet red pepper not so strong as cayenne;" this gives it a pretty pink color. Dissolve an eighth of a spoonful of anchovy paste in one teaspoonful of vinegar; add to the rest. Spread on thin slices of bread. Banana and Prune Salad. Toss together equal quantities of cooked prunes, cut in bits, and sliced bananas. Serve with a blend of orange and lemon juice, with pineapple juice or cream dressing. Feat of Blind Student.

The colored man was never a real bad fighter, so far as we can learn, But in spite of odds, he seems to be developing in this line. We don’t like mob fights, but like boys’ gang fights, they develop the fel- Jows who have the least advantage and make them fearless, The bully usually carries a streak of cowardice. The mob or the gang which at- tacks A single man or a few is always largely composed of cowards. A race riot in New York the other day demonstrated that in desperate self-defense the black American is not going back. He is almost always at a disadvantage in such melees, but knowing that he is fighting race hatred and cowardice, he is learning to fight harder. It is never hon- rable to be engaged in a riot, but if it is forced, it is a good thing to hold your own. SECRETARY TAFT’S VALET. SECRETARY TAFT has a Filipino valet. As a body servant Montico, the valet, according to a special press writer, is the “‘favorite and most trusted in the Taft household.’’ It is related that one even- ing in the Philippines, Montico accompanied his ‘‘master,"’ the Seere- tary, when the latter went to call on a native dignitary for an hour or so. Montico waited outside the door. Mr, Taft was asked to re main for the night, and upon consenting, requested that a servant be nent, to tell Montico not to wait. ‘Through some error this message was not delivered, and when Mr. Taft came out next morning, there was Montico, drowsy-eyed, but determined, still standing where he had been Jeft twelve hours before. Then and there he made a hit with Seeretary ‘Taft. More than that, he made a home run. He knocked the ball clean over the centerfield fence’and made a double cireuit. The big umpire signed Montico for an indefinite period on his own terms, probably fifty pisos per, We are reciting this tale merely as a prelude to the remark that the ignorant, humble and faithful body guard is greatly beloved by a wertain class of white men. It is often declared that there was down- right love between some of the old-time ‘ masters*” and their life- long, humble body servants, who aspired to nothing but to serve well the **master.’’ Both of these characters are wont to sorrow over the pass- ing of the good old days, and the former master and his deseendants have little patience with the aspirations of the fresh, new-time darky, who would perform service with intelligence, if not with absolute Junility. Some men are never happy unless some other human being is, in some degree or capacity, acting as their slave. They like the feel- ing of pride and self-inflation which it gives. There is a lot of comfort about the service performed, no doubt, but there is even more satisfac tion in the ability to talk or grunt pompously te the servile and alert attendant and have him understand and hasten to do the bidding. ‘The *‘love’’ between the two is of the same character, in a little finer degree, perhaps, as that which exists between man and horse or dog. **Old dog Tray’? and ‘Old Uncle Ned’? have monuments in the same cemetery and are mourned with the same measure of grief in the same heart-broken way. There are some Ald Uncle Neds left, but they are slowly passing. But at the demand of these who must have them, the Monticos are coming on to take their places. The Philippines will not have been acquired in vain if they supply the white man for another hundred years with faithful, servile, humble bedy-servants, who do not think, except to better serve their ‘‘masters."’ If all other reeommen- dations fail Seeretary Taft, his example and far-sighterness in this re- spect should make his pathway te the White House a summery, balmy, rose-strewn course.

The liquor ques- tion was the chief issue in the last state election and Governor Hoke Smith came into office as the representative of the element favoring prohibition, so the law and its requirements are to his liking. A popu- lar magazine writer tells us that the Shake sentiment is strong throughout the South, so Georgia merely takes the lead in the experi- ment in what is almost universally favored in that seetion of the coun- try. The realization of this apparent fact comes as a surprise to those who have been disposed to look upon the people of the South as addicted to certain iregular morals, which made their section the home of a pe euliar character of civilization, wherein clandestine mountain stills and their moonshine product were persistently conducted and defended against internal revenue officers with a desperation worthy of patriots fighting for the preservation of hearths and homes The impulsive ness with which class of Southerners, presumably the ‘‘eracker ele ment,”’ take the law frequently into their own hands in fallacious de fense of honor, or to avenge certain crimes which they think insafii- eiently punished unless every man. with knowledge of it and within reach becomes personally a party to the summary execution of the sup- posed or alleged criminal, is also responsible for the general outside im- pression that liquor stood next to cotton as a staple Southern product, and perhaps first in point of home consumptin. Then there are the old traditions of Southern hospitality, always coupled with the refreshing aroma of mint juleps and the soothing flow of cocktailx to farther exeuse the surprise one feels over the news that the South stands for prohibition. : _ But the assurance gives rise to hopes hitherto unexpressed. Pro hibition by popular law earires with it a thought of aroused public morals. renewed Christian zeal and an increased regard for law, order and the highest welfare of all the people. Liquor, used secerding to every weak man's free will, is 8 terrible curse to the Negro, especially te those morally or mentally weak and irresponsible and to these around Whom are set the cunning and relentless allurements of crime It is demoralising beyond anything else, save the persecutions of those who treat child-people as brates, even before and while their own inventions and machinations render them brutish To do away with the saloon will help the Negro, perbaps more than it will help the white man, Neste has. But we want te learn if the moral tome of the white South ean be raised by a prohibitive course ‘We want to know if the up. rooting of the drink evil will be followed by substantial decrease of dass Or race turbulence. ‘While we cannot expect that it will have any such efftet as the immediate eradication of the lynching habit, we have eae ce en eee higher ideals in adminis. trative methods and the canmsequent: on of a higher respect for all those general usages amd individual rights and relations which give assurance of devotion to just and righteous principles soch as are meeessary for the continued peace and development of a community, & state or a nation. “LET THE NEGRO ALONE” (Continued from first page) take that was made originally was that the theorist of the North placed him on a high pedestal of equality in more senses than be- fore the law, and he could do noth. ing but tumble off, the Negro wa: by many consigned to the failures of the world and by others, like Tillman, he was denounced anc abused and kicked and burned But let the Negro alone.

ROSALIE LOEW WHITNEY. a eee ee eee although in addition to the practical desirability, I have no doubt there exists often also this personal liking. The American custom, on the other hand, is to allow young persons to wander up and down the world, 0 to speak, at will, and when two of them feel sufficient attraction to desire marriage to allow them to carry out their plans. In France young persons are trained and educated to expect their elders to assist in find- ing or even to prescribe their mates. The girl, convent-bred, is taught to expect it. With us, on the contrary, the girl is bred, unconsciously per- haps, to believe it to be her own duty and business in life to find her hasband. As to whether one kind of marriage is more likely to bring happi- ness than the other, I can only say that neither in its extreme form can ‘be expected to result sucessfully. Over-insistent parents on the one hand and immature youngsters on the other, are equally certain to make un- happy matches. The golden mean, as in many other things, is the solu- tion. Let young people realize that their elders have some advice of value to give; let the elders realize that companionability and sympathy of temperament are things they cannot judge of finally; and things will go better than they often do. But above all, in this land, let woman have & position, industrially, that will make it unnecessary for her to regard marriage only as a means of providing a livelihood for herself. And then teach the man-world to realize that the woman who cares for a home is s real worker in the world. Chaves of a Career at Sra 2 ee By FRANK M.

Scott's recent antarctic expedition, was the subject of an interesting illustrated lecture by Dr. Wilson before the recent ornithological congress in London. The bird stands about four feet high, weighs eighty pounds or more, and with its black coat and erect posture has, when seen at a distance, a truly startling resemblance to a dwarf man. These "emperors" of the penguin world live upon the great girdle of pack ice which surrounds the antarctic continent, and seem to depend fully for their food on crustaceans caught in the crevices of the ice. The female lays a solitary egg, which is caught on the great web feet, so that it never touches the ice, and is held there covered with the mother's body until hatching occurs. --- RE-BUILDING SALE We're going to remodel our front and if it's a little bad to get in just excuse the mix up by knowing the bargains inside will repay you for coming. remodel our front and if it in just excuse the mix bargains inside will repay We're going to remodel our front and if it's a little bad to get in just excuse the mix up by knowing the bargains inside will repay you for coming. $12, $15, $18.50 $20 2-Piece Suits $7.75 All $1.00 and $1.25 most $1.50 Negligee Shirts 95c $2.50 to $5.00 Extra Fine Straw Hats $1.00 Be sure and Come Early 'Twill Pay Johnson-N THE JASON-NO 1H ST.

Anybody can do it who has the New Thought. Expose the corn and pass the finger tips of your right hand over them slowly and carressingly, at the same time sending a current of vibrations from the brain to the corn. If it is a soft corn, 413 vibrations per second will suffice; if a hard corn put on forced draught. Repeat slowly: "I am now sending a current of Thought Force into my corn, and am so separating, deducing, detaching, disintegrating, rending, splitting, sundering, splintering, snipping, dwellicating, whittling, dispersing, dislocating, eliding, divorcing, pulverizing, slashing, slicing and dissecting it, that presently it will pass away." Repeat three times, then, with rising inflection, "Avaunt, avaut, avaut!" Finish by repeating the password, "The universe is mine. I am it." The corn will at first look extremely surprised, then wilt and fade beautifully from sight.—Judge.

Pittsburgh (National Lead & Oil Co.) SICK HEADACHE CORPSE GETS UP AND WALKS HAD LAIN ON MARBLE SLAB IN MORQUE TWO DAYS AND LIVES. KNEW ALL GOING ON KNEW ALL GOING ON WHEN CORONER STARTS POST MORTEM EXAMINATION DEAD MAN COMES TO. St. Joseph, Mo.-John A. Hall, a railroad man, who came here recently from Sabetha, Kansas, was found in the yards west of Locust street a few nights ago, apparently dead. The body was removed to a morgue, where it lay on a slab all night, after Hall had been pronounced dead by the police surgeon. On the following day Hall's body still lay on the slab in the morgue until late in the evening. The coroner had been busy during the day and had no time to look at the corpse. When he went into the morgue he was accompanied by one or two other physicians and those who had found the body of Hall. The witnesses were questioned and it was learned that he had nothing in his pockets from which his identity could be established. Nobody at that time knew his name or where he had lived. The coroner decided on a post mortem examination and left his assistant to do the work. The assistant took up the knife and drew it down Hall's abdomen, splitting the skin several inches. Almost as soon as the knife touched him Hall began to arise from the slab, and a second later stood on his feet before the astonished doctor. "You needn't cut me open," said Hall. "I'll answer any questions you ask me." Hall's clothes were found in another room and he put them on. Assistant Coroner Brewer took him to a restaurant and had a bowl of soup prepared for him. After he had eaten, Hall declared his intention of going to his home in Sabetha. "But you can't go tonight," said the deputy coroner. "There's a train in about half an hour." The deputy coroner wondered how he was going to account for the absence of the corpse if Hall got away. He walked with him in the direction of the passenger station and turned him over to the first policeman he met. Hall was released the next morning and was allowed to go home. Hall declared that he was conscious from the time he fell to the ground in the railroad yards, where he had gone to ask for employment. He said he heard all that was said when the coroner stood beside him in the morgue and announced that he would hold a post mortem examination, but was unable to move or make an outcry. "IN THREE DAYS KEYS STOP." Thus Declared President Small Concerning Telegraphers' Strike. Omaha,—"Three days from now there will be no telegraph wires working except those necessary to move trains and to transact business necessary to the incidental work of railroads, unless some settlement is reached in the meantime." President Small of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union said this as he passed through Omaha Friday morning on his way from the coast to take charge of strike operations at Chicago. This was the first time he has had an opportunity to talk since the strike began. Mr. Small unqualifiedly approved of the course of the telegraphers in the various cities in leaving their keys. He lays the entire blame on the two telegraph companies for their alleged failure to keep the agreement which he said was entirely of their seeking. He charges Colonel Clowry, president of the Western Union, in particular with utter disregard of the promises made by him in a letter to Commissioner Neill, July 20th, following the ending of the San Francisco strike, July 19th. "It is a serious thing," Small said, "for men in high position to enter into an agreement, verbal or otherwise, and then, as soon as your back is turned, disregard it. "This is what the Western Union did in San Francisco. I am always hopeful for a happy solution of any difficulty, but in this case it is not for us to make advances." BANDITS STICK UP SALOON. Carry of $3,500 and Make Their Escape Into the Night. Silverton, Colo.—The most daring and cleverly executed stickup in the history of Silverton occurred Thursday morning at 2:45 o'clock in the saloon and gambling house of Slattery. Three masked men, dressed in the garb of rough riders, raided the place and escaped with $3,500 in cash besides several valuable diamonds and several guns before the occupants had fully realized what had happened. There were twenty-five, but none offered resistance. They were herded in a corner at the point of guns, as if so many cattle, and made to face the wall while the bandits gathered their loot. No attempt was made by the robbers to search their victims or their haul would have been much larger. Several of the patrons as well as those employed by Slattery wore valuable diamonds and many carried goodly sums of money. These were not molested, the robbers confining themselves to taking the contents of the cash drawer and safe. When their work had been accomplished the trio disappeared through the rear door and were lost in the darkness. A sheriff's posse was immediately organized, but failed to capture the bad men. A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. Young Woman Is Killed By Discharge of Shotgun. Denver.—The opening day of the dove hunting season was ushered in with a shocking tragedy, the accidental killing of Mrs. Nell Rockel on the open prairie near Magnolia, a station on the Kansas Pacific railroad, about—twelve miles east of Denver, in Adams county. By the accidental discharge of a Winchester pump shotgun Mrs. Rockel received the full charge of twenty-six grains of $71\frac{1}{2}$ shot in her side, and she expired in the arms of her sweetheart, William J. Groth, a few minutes later. Mrs. Rockel, accompanied by Groth and Gurney, the latter the representative of a local trade paper, and although occasionally employed as a deputy in the city clerk's office, had left the city at 4 o'clock to go to a grove near Sable, a small settlement near Magnolia station, which for years has served Groth and Gurney as headquarters on their dove shooting expeditions. Mrs. Rockel, Groth and Gurney made the trip to Sable in a four-seated buggy. When within a half mile of the grove where they were to pitch camp, Groth noticed a flock of doves, and leaving the buggy he proceeded to shoot at the birds. Gurney and Mrs. Rockel remained in the buggy awaiting Groth's return. Groth had just shot his second dove, when the accident occurred which resulted in Mrs. Rockel's death. Describing the accident, Gurney said: "Mrs. Rockel and I were in the buggy watching Will shoot, when a bunch of mosquitoes appeared and settled on our horse's back. The animal became restless and Mrs. Rockel, afraid that the horse would run away, requested me to get out of the buggy and cover the animal with a blanket. She took the lines and I jumped out. "I jumped out of the buggy and grabbed the blanket, which was in the bottom of the buggy. My Winchester pump shotgun, with its hammer down, was leaning against the seat which I had occupied. Slowly I pulled the blanket out of the buggy. What followed next I do not know. "There was a loud report of a gun, and the next moment I saw Will Groth run toward the buggy. He had been about thirty yards away from the buggy when I had gotten out, and at first I was of the opinion that the report which I had heard had been caused by him firing his gun. When I saw him run toward us I looked around and then I saw that my shotgun had fallen out of the buggy and that poor Mrs. Rockel had been shot. "Just as Will reached her side I heard her exclaim, 'Oh, Will,' and then she fell dead into her sweetheart's arms. She did not live half a minute after she had been shot. Blood was gushing from her left side, and we at once started back to the city with her. REEVES MAY BE GOING MAD. Guards Deny Admittance of Anyone Who Calls. Denver.—Refusing to take nourishment and seemingly in the depths of despondency, Fanrik Reeves, one of the two prisoners held at the county jail in this city charged with arson in connection with the fire and explosion at the Boulder Colorado & Southen freight depot which cost four lives, is still held incommunicado by Warden Duffield at the direction of Sheriff Bartel of Boulder. Guards at the jail refuse to admit the condition of Reeves, but it is claimed by the man's friends that he is now on the verge of insanity. Frank Kiser, the other prisoner, who is kept separated from Reeves, is said to take his incarceration less seriously. The warden and guards at the jail refuse to give out any information to the public regarding the condition of the prisoners, and refuse to state whether or not they have seen an attorney. It is still insisted that both of the prisoners have confessed that they were implicated in the burning of the freight yards which caused the tremendous explosion. It is admitted by the authorities of Boulder, with candor, that every means was used to secure these confessions, and that the men were in the "sweat-box" for days. It is also claimed that Kiser and Reeves have been intimidated by being told that a mob awaited them in Boulder and that if they were returned to that city they would surely be lynched. A friend of Reeves went to the county jail and asked to see him, but he was refused admittance and was told to apply to Sheriff Bartel at Boulder for a permit. "We would not let his own mother see him," said the guard. "The men are kept separated. They are not our prisoners, and we are under orders not to let anyone approach them without a permit from the Boulder authorities." "Has Reeves seen an attorney?" asked the friend. "I don't know. Don't think he has," said the guard. "Weould he be permitted to see one if one were provided?" "We'd ask him if he wanted to see an attorney and then would ask Boulder if it was all right. If Boulder and Reeves consented we would let the attorney in." "Will you go and tell Reeves that I am out here and ask him if he wants me to get him an attorney?" "No, we can't do that." "Is Reeves sick or insane?" "I don't know. I guess he is all right." "Will you let a doctor examine him if I send one over?" "No." "Will you promise to get him a doctor the minute he needs one?" "That would necessitate a conference with Sheriff Bartel." "Do you know whether Reeves needs medical attention or not?" "No," and this ended the interview. What is Castoria.
