THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WANTS OF The Negro. Industrial Pursuits Offer Him an Open Door to a Better Life, Says Dr. John M. Henderson. VOL. XIV, WANT The Negro. Industrial Pursuits Better Life, Says Dr. A dead man has no need for education, civilization or political rights, and any man will die if he does not have food, clothing and shelter. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, but when the individuals can secure food, clothing and shelter, the soul within him asserts itself and makes its demands. The American Negro has reached just such a stage in his career. He feels secure in respect to the bare necessities of life and he now wants to enjoy something of the life which he has preserved. He wants a home, a family, and food, clothing and shelter for that family; he wants that shelter to be something more than a mere protection from the elements, he wants it to be a dwelling place for the family he cherishes, a real home, however homely; he wants clothing not merely to hide his nakedness, but such clothing as will allow him and his family to freely move among their fellows without shame, and with possibly, some modest pride; he wants food, not simply the bare necessities of the body, but food that will satisfy the cravings of the higher tissues which his higher life has developed. Such are the increased and more complex wants of the Negro of today, who but a few years ago asked nothing but a one-room cabin and bacon and corn bread and a few rough garments. There were but four millions of the race who made such modest demands, but all untrained in the ways of self-support as they were, they were driven by these natural wants into the stern struggle and have not only survived but have multiplied in number and gained elevation in the scale of being. The wants of the free and civilized American Negro to-day are just as urgent and as natural as were the wants of the Negro of the days after the War and the force of the instinct of self preservation is all the more powerful because of the higher development of the race. If the Negro, untrained and inexperienced, could earn his subsistence, it need not be feared but that the Negro of to-day will make his way. It is true that the conditions under which he must gain his living are not so simple and that his wants are multiplied and complex, but it is also true that he State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Col Offer Him an Open Door to a John M Henderson. is better equipped for competition not only by having a more insistent instinct of self-preservation but also in having greater ability and wiser leadership. The nation can survive a few years yet without black senators, judges, congressmen, and social exquisites but the cotton must be raised and in a thousand ways labor must be done and the door can not be closed upon an able and willing worker even if there exists a prejudice against the color of his skin or his previous condition of servitude. Industrial pursuits offer to the willing American Negro an open door to a better life than he has had and to a stage of progress which will set him nearer the full enjoyment of his rights as a citizen than the place he now possesses. The Negro will simply enter the open door and march on with the steadiness and patience with which Sherman march to the sea. What door may be opened to the next generation is yet to be seen, but the present generation will not falter nor hesitate but will go on until its day is done. Italian Children Barred. Among other mater matters of complaint lodged with the state department by the Italian embassy is the case of some Italian children who had been denied entrance into the state of Mississippi. The department transmitted this complaint to Governor Vardaman with a courteous request for an investigation and report on the facts. The governor's reply amounts to a declination to admit the children as they are undesirable immigrants. Affidavits collected by state agents and accompanying the governor's reply are to the effect that the children are free from disease and have been pupils in the public schools in New Orleans; that they were born in New Orleans, are consequently Ameican in the same degree as any native born citizen, and therefore are free to travel as they will within the limits of the United States The state department, however, has done all it can in this matter in view of the limitations on the exercise of federal authority and the only recourse for the parents or guardians of the children is to apply to the local courts. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1908. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Grounds will be broken this month for the new $75,000 colored Y. M. C. A. building in Washington, D. C. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 27.—A recount was begun today of the ballots cast at the municipal court election in November, 1906, to determine whether or not assistant District Attorney F. L. Barnett, colored, is entitled to a place on the bench occupied by Judge Thomas B Lantry. In his petition for a recount Barnett charged that the count of ballots in 111 precincts was fraudulently and erroneously made. Oakland Cal., Dec. 30.—Six Chinese whom L. Price, a Negro porter, accuses of having beaten him almost into insensibility with long poles when he tried to cash a winning ticket in a Chinese lottery were arrested this afternoon on a charge of battery. Price says he won $46 and went to the gambling place today to obtain the money. The proprietor informed him the ticket he held was a forgery, and when Price remonstrated the Chinese attacked him with the long wooden poles, beating him unmercifully. In Memphis Tenn., last week, a mistake which nearly caused a riot and, but for the prompt arrival of the police, might have resulted seriously for a white farmer living near there. On account of the accumulation of years of dirt on the marble bust of Andrew Jackson, in the public park on Main street, Luther Davis thought it was a bust of Booker T. Washington. A messenger boy took the first whack at Davis, and the trouble was on. Policemen rushed up in time to get Davis away from the crowd. The statue will get a washing in consequence. Joseph D. Jones, proprietor of the Brunswick, one of the oldest hostelries in Washington, is dead. For twenty-one years he was treasurer of the Third Baptist church, and was a member of the K. of P., the Masons and other fraternal organizations. The business will be carried on by his own sons, Ernest P. and Joseph D. Jones, who survive him. Mr. Jones whose wife, Mrs. Dolly A. C. Jones died only last September, under circumstances unusually sad, was said to have been worth at least $75,000, acquired through fortunate real estate investments and careful attention to business. They were generous givers to worthy causes. The final steps in uniting the Maryland Grand Lodge of Pythians with the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, were taken a few days ago in Baltimore. Articles of incorporation were filed by Attorney Harry S. Cummings. This was the outcome of a special meeting of the Maryland Grand Lodge, held October 31st, at which a majority of the lodges of the State voted to secede from the Supreme Lodge. Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and to unite with the "regular" wing. In this beneficent work of unification and consolidation, Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks has proven a tower of strength. He has shown himself on this and other critical occasions to be pre-eminently the man for the emergency. Washington, Jan. 3.—The Senate Committee on Military Affairs expects to submst the reports of the Brownsville investigation to the Senate within the next two weeks. There will be at least three reports. The majority will fix the responsibility for the shooting up of the Texas town on the colored soldiers. The Democratic Senators will join with the chairman of the committee, Senator Warren, and other Republican Senators in the majority report as to the guilt of the soldiers, but the Democrats are also considering the matter of a separate report as to the guilt of the soldiers, but the Democrats are also considering the matter of a separate report recommending the mustering out of all colored soldiers now in the army. In this view the Republican Senators who favor the majority report do not concur. Senator Foraker will present the minority report, which will declare that the guilt of the soldiers has not been established and will recommend their reinstatement. Senator Scott has some original views on the Brownsville matter which may be presented in a separate report Paris, Dec. 28.—Paris papers, which gladly welcomed Monsieur Legitimus, a deputy from Guadeloupe, are not friendly to him now. They have been informed that he intends to sue several papers for things said about him before he came to assume his official duties. Legitimus is a full blooded Negro and a person of large proportions. Before he came to France, some of the papers wanted to make him rather romantic, spoke of him as being a fetish priest, one who worships bones of dead persons. It was also related that he is a conjurer of spirits and that he was a partner of one of the most feared robbers of his native land. It was related that Legitimus and the robber had hidden treasures of gold and sparkling jewels. When Legitmus came to Paris and banquets were arranged in his honor, he refused to take part in them. He said, in a jocular way, that he preferred to play with the bones of the dead, than to eat at tables with the living. A few days ago his lawyer made it known that Legitmus is not a fetish priest and that he has never been in partnership with any robber. He is a Free Mason and is a man of superior education. One of his reasons for coming to Paris, the lawyer said, was to sue all the papers which slandered him. SPLENDID WORK. R. W. Thompson, a Washington correspondent says: Dr. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, is doing a splendid work for the advancement of the colored men employed in his department. He is not accentuating the color line, nor can be accused of undue favoritism for his race in so doing, for partiality based upon artificial lines is bound to react harmfully; but he is wisely seeing to it that his people are not being discriminated against in the matter of promotions when they deserve them. He "runs his office," and it is not difficult to perceive that the register of the treasury is the man designated by President Roosevelt to perform the duties of that office—not some subordinate, who may happen to possess a fairer skin. Since June 12, 1906, the date upon which Register Vernon took the oath of office, the following promotions of colored men have been made upon his recommendation: Lieut. T. H. R. Clarke, from $1,000 to $1,200 per annum; R. P. Reha, $720 to $840; Woodie Over, $660 to $720; George F. Beason, at $900; John D. Reynolds, at $660 and Roscoe L. Gray (temporary), at $250, have entered the office since the accession of Dr. Vernon. These promotions and accessions represent a net increase of salaries paid to colored men of $2,145 directly attributed to the unselfish, broadminded and painstaking policies of this race-loving statesmen. Other persons of the Negro race carried on the rolls of the register's office are: George C. Smith, at $900; George J. Booker, at $660; Charles W. Edwards, at $660; A. H. Mathews; at $660, and George D. McCoy, at $660, bringing the total salaries paid to the colored employes under Register Vernon up to the handsome figure of $8,065 per annum. Adding to this the $4,000 received by Dr. Vernon, and the $2,500 received by Assistant Register Cyrus Field Adams, we have $14,565 paid from the treasury to colored men, in connection with this one office—a showing of which the race may well feel proud, and the future promises NO. 16. even better results. Dr. Vernon has also been largely instrumental in securing appointments, promotions and transfers for colored men outside of his own bureau. He very correctly feels that his position of opportunity and power is a trust to be administered for the benefit of his people, as well as for the safety of the government's money and bonds, and he never refuses to take the time to serve any meritorious member of the race where he can legitimately do so. He makes no "fuss," he just "does things"—that's all. He is just the kind of a leader we need at court in the nation's capital. The problem is, as Andrew Carnegie so aptly said of the Negro in America: "How can we get more of them?" GEORGE DIXON IS DEAD. New York, Jan. 6.—George Dixon, the Negro pugilist, ex-featherweight champion of the world passed away today in the alcoholic ward of Bellevue hospital. The immediate cause of his death was inflammatory rheumatism and heart disease, following a protracted bout with "John Barleycorn." The little fellow knew he was dying, and was content to pass away from the world which was once very kind to him, but which has not smiled on him much of late. "I'm down for the count, doctor," he said but a few minutes before he breathed his last. Continuing he said: "I was foolish to go up against the booze game. It had me outclassed and I should have known it, but when a fellow begins to go down the hill it seems to make him forget, and I wanted to forget when my friends began to go back on me and I discovered that they were my friends only in prosperity." For several days the once great little fighter has lain with shattered nerves, a pitiable object a mere shadow of his former self. He fought hard at first when he found himself a captive, but along towards the end seemed to feel that it was his last fight and that he should be a game loser. Many well known local sportsmen called on him, and declared themselves sorry to learn of his condition, and that they wanted him to call on them whenever he needed friends after his recovery The expressions greatly touched the dying gladiator and he oftimes cried like a baby. In his last hours he spoke forgivingly of his former manager, Tom O'Rouke, who, it is alleged, used him shamefully. When he was taken to the hospital he was homeless and penniless. There was not a thing of value on his person except a little medal which he won many years ago in an amature bout. Shortly before his death he expressed the wish to be buried at his old home, Halifax, N. S. EXTORTION IS NOT ILLEGAL Noodles, Chop Suey, Chili Privare Dining Rooms REGOLAR DINNER 20 CENTS.

IN MAYOR SCHMITZ CASE OTHER CASE WILL BE PRESSED AGAINST SCHMITZ AND RUEF. San Francisco—The District Court of Appeals handed down a decision ‘Thursday setting aside the judgment in the case of former Mayor’ Eugene ®. Schmitz, convicted of extortion in the French restaurant cases. Abe Ruef also benefits by the ruling of the upper court, for, according to its decision, he pleaded guilty to an act that was no offense against the laws of the state. According to the appellate judges, the compelling of French restaurants to pay big “fees” to Abe Ruef was not a crime, even though Ruef divided the “fees” with the mayor. After discussing the point the court reverses the judgment against Schmitz on the ground that no acts constituting a crime had been proved against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty to extorting money from the French restaurants, is, therefore, equally guiltless. ‘The decision wipes out the French restaurant cases and pending charges of extortion against Schmitz and Ruet must be dismissed. Both are now en- titled’ to release on bail. If they ob- tain the necessary bondsmen, they can remain at liberty until such time as a jury finds them guilty on one of the indictments charging them with _re- ceiving bribes from corporations. Dw- Ing to the number of cases against them, the bail, figured at $10,000 a case,’ would reach an enormous figure. ‘The judges of the court which ren- dered the decision in favor of Schmitz tnd Ruef are J. A. Cooper, Frank H. Kerrigan and Samuel P. Hall. ‘The news of the decision of the ap- pellate court declaring the indictment of ex-Mayor Schmitz for extortion in valid spread rapidly over the city, causing consternation in some quar- ters and delight in others, Superior Judge Dunne, before whom Schmitz was convicted, said: “It is to be regretted that the hear. ing of this appeal came up before a court whose members have relatives and intimate friends against whom many indictments were returned by the grand jury that returned these true bills, In view of these facts I do ‘not believe that the court wag in the ‘proper frame of mind to give Mis mat- ter an impartial consideration and de- cide it strictly upon its merits. I am “satisfied that the evidence and the law ‘Sustained the judgment, and the ver- ‘dict. I will further say that the jury which returned this verdict in accord- | ance with the law will be remembered with respect and honor in the com- ‘munity long after the court which set aside the verdict has been forgotten.” | Both Schmitz and Ruef, when seen at the county jail, refused to make “any statement or comment upon the "decision. Francls J. Heney, assistan| district attorney, who prosecuted Schmitz, ar- rived Thursday morning from Wash- ington and left at night for Portland, | Oregon, to take charge of the Oregon land fraud cases there. “The prosecution has not been em- barrassed in the slightest by this de- cision,” said Heney before leaving. “There are plenty of other indictments against both Schmitz and Ruef.” 2D, ORAOO. — see, ee.

Denver.—Work has been temporarily suspended on the great Newhouse tun- nel project in Gilpin county, owing to a peculiar situation. ‘The tunnel has been driven something over 17,000 feet and has but a few hundred feet further to go before it will penetrate the famous properties in the Quartz Hill district. Just ahead of the tunnel several hundred feet are some of the big mines of the Nevadaville district, which have been bothered with water ever since their commencement. ‘The tun- nel would relieve them of the seepage and make pumping unnecessary, but George E. Collins, manager of the tun- nel enterprise, says no terms haye yet been agreed upon and work will be suspended until some arrangement with the properties is made. “We have already drained numer- ous properties in the course of the tunnel up to the present time,” said Mr. Collins, “which have not paid us a cent for this important benefit, It is not our purpose to enter the Quartz Hill district and give away this valu- able drainage work. Of course, the transportation of ores is perhaps what will be the chief use of the tunnel, but we feel that there is a direct benefit conferred by the draining of these properties which should be recognized in a substantial manner.” JI NLA TINE ELS IA STITT TT ETI L HFT ttt tthe} Pool and Billiards Refreshments DENVER, COLO.

For Illegal Fencing and Other Grimes Acainet Uneie Sam. Denver. — Twenty-nine indictments, two of them against millionaires among the most prominent citizens of Colo- rado and Wyoming, were returned ‘Thursday by the federal grand jury that completed its labor and submitted tts findings to Judge Lewis. ‘The millfonaires accused are Edgar N. Biggs, prominent lumberman of Denver, and Ora Haley, cattle king of Laramie, Wyoming, who controls ranch and range property in all the impor- tant cattle states of the West. Biggs is accused, with Welch W. Nossaman, of conspiracy in acquiring timber land for the New Mexico Lum ber company near Pagosa Springs. Haley is accused of illegal fencing of 10,000 acres of range land near the Colorado-Wyoming boundary. Tn addition to these the principal in- dictments returned were against Wil- Mam R. Mason and Joseph Vander- weide for conspiracy to murder Joseph A. Walker, federal secret service agent, who was Shot by Vanderweide at the Hesperus coal mine near Hesperus, Colorado, November 3d, while engaged in an investigation of the property. Kemp V. Bigelow, the boy bomb- snaker, now serving'a sentence in the state reformatory, was indicted on three charges of using the mails to se- cure money by means of fraud. The other Indictments with the charges fo! low: Robert W. Bradley, alias Robert W. Emison, counterfeiting; eight counts; bond fixed at $3,000. Moses Fisher, having counterfeit coins in his possession; bonds $1,500. Daniel Hansen and one Cochrane, perjury in connection with land frauds in the southern part of the state; bonds for Hansen and Cochrane fixed at $1,000 each. David H. Muir, violation of the oleo- margarinegict; bonds $300. J. Maurice Finn, a well known attor- ney, withholding "pension accounts; bonds $200. William H. Hawks and J. I. Rawl, il- iegal fencing of government lands; bonds respectively $1,500 and $500. David Meisner and William H. Probst, stealing mail pouch; bonds $800. Charles O. Erbaugh, using the mails to defraud; bonds $1,500. William Whelan and James Murphy, using the mails to defraud; bonds $2,000 each. Charles J. Keesee, sending obscene matter through the mails; bonds $1,000. Charles Shawl, forging money order indorsements; two counts; bonds $500. William H. Hildreth, postmaster at Basalt, embezzling money order and postal funds. Claude L. Meyer, making false affi- davit; bonds $1,000. Max Kaplan and J. M. Princeton, de- stroying evidence in a federal case; $200. One Buckey, sending obscene fatter through the mails, three counts; bonds $600. One Vanbuskirk, breaking car seals; bonds $250. D. Ormond and Abbott; bonds $100 each. ‘The indictment of Ora Haley, Hawks and Raw! marks the beginning in this state of the crusade planned by the government against the big ranchmen in all sections of the country who have taken the liberty of fencing grazing lands for their herds or flocks, which, if carried out according to the plans mapped out in Washington, will bring to life again the old conditions of range riding and real cowboy herd- ing thtt is now practically obsolete. Millions of acres of government land, it is reported by the land office, has been fenced by the cattle barons to keep their herds within a short dis- tance of the home ranches, that the ex- pensive roundups and shipping drives might be done away with. This land, it is contended, is open range, and un- less the cattlemen see fit to purchase it under land office regulations they have no right to set it aside as a pri- vate preserve. Government Gets Graft Money. Chicago—Judge Kohisaat, in the United States Cireuit Court rendered a decision Thursday in favor of the government in the suit against Cap: tain Oberlin M, Carter, former United States army engineer, charged with having defrauded the federal govern: ment to the extent of $750,000 of gov: ernment funds through ' conspiracy with contractors Greene and Gaynor. ‘The court ruled that Carter was not entitled to the $400,000 in unregistered railroad bonds and other securities traced by the government to safety deposit vaults and banks in various parts of the country. Under the de- cision the government will retain these securities. Mrs. Eddy's Condition. Concord, N. H.—No_ application to have Mrs, Mary Baker G. Eddy brought before a commission in lunacy is pending in the courts of this state There is, however, a suit pending which possibly might offer opportun: ity for such an application. Mrs, Eddy established a trust fund of $125,000 to be used for the benefit of her son, George W. Glover and his children, held by General Streeter of Concord. Glover has brought an action in the New Hampshire courts asking that the court direct how this trust shall be administered and it is possible that Mrs, Eddy’s competency might be made an issue. Grand River Bridge. Denver.—Bids will be received by the state engineer's office on January 20th for the erection of the longest bridge ever built by the state. It will span the Grand river at Silt, and be 252 feet in length. The bridge which holds the record for length-at the pres- ent time is m Mesa county and is 250 feet long. The Silt structure will be made of steel and will be constructed on plans drawn by C. G. Shelly of this city, whose drawings were selected among others entered in competition The strength of the bridge will be along the ideas carried out by the state engineer since last spring.

JVISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: “As I have found Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. “Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life a burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, noth- ing gave me permanent relief. "I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me. “However, I did buy a bottle, and be- fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was com- pletely cured in a month's time, and I find that my general health is also ex- cellent.” People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets.

HOWARD E, BURTON, ,nAt%2*ius, Epectmen prices: Gold, silvers ieaay att gee arin aaa Seat ns dopes Ba Bae Bees ant da act AER Gene Beles eee ete at ne Here is a tale of twentieth century magic on the dark continent. Says a South African correspondent: "A remarkable story has reached Durban from Mandeston concerning the finding of a purse by alleged magic means. A European lost a purse containing coin, and a native was accused of its theft. The owner applied to a certain old woman to whom are ascribed supernatural powers and received a reply to look under such and such a tree, and he would find the purse. Search was made under the tree indicated, and there was the purse." The old parish clerk was asked how he liked the new vicar. "Oh, he's a very good man, I believe, but I would rather have the old vicar any day," was his answer. "Was he a better preacher?" "Oh, no; not as good as the new vicar is." "Well, then, is he a better visitor." "Oh, no; not as good as the new vicar," was again his reply. "Why, then, do you prefer the old vicar?" "If I must tell you, sir, the old vicar's clothes fitted me better," said the clerk. Changing One's Occupation. "It is not everyone who wishes to change his occupation, but one frequently hears of people who have forsaken one profession or trade for another, and in their new calling have reached the highest rung in the ladder of fame," says Ideas. "The spirit of genuine self-help is the root of all growth in the individual, and constitutes the true source of national vigor and strength. Before a man definitely decides upon making a change from one calling to another he should question himself as to his energies, capabilities, and chances of success in the new calling he proposes to enter. The early age at which youths in this country take to a profession or trade accounts, in a great measure, for the number who do not find their calling to their liking, and desire, perhaps not unnaturally, to make a change. Having decided that their work is uncongenial, too many let their minds drift on the dark sea of no hope instead of trying to find out the surest way to succeed." Follow My Leader "If seven sheep were on one side of the fence, and one of them jumped over to the other side, how many were left?" propounded the teacher to the primary class. Pauline's observations of animal life had not been in vain, despite her tender years. "There wouldn't be none left," she replied, knowingly. "If one jumped over, they'd all follow." "Harper's Weekly. Latson on Walking Dr. Latson says: "A correct walk is the rarest accomplishment I can think of. Handsome faces are rare, figures are much more rare; but gait and carriage, out of 500 we shall find 30 or 40 handsome faces, and perhaps a dozen good figures. But certainly in that number we shall rarely find more than one or two people who walk properly." Ladies Attention! Mrs. M. A.

BY SENATOR GUGGENHEIM COLORADO'S NEW SENATOR IN TRODUCES NUMEROUS BILLS TO BENEFIT THE STATE. LAND OFFICE IS SAVED RESIGNATION OF COMMISSIONER BALLINGER OF THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE ACCEPTED. Washington—Senator Guggenheim called upon Secretary Garfield Tuesday and submitted views favoring the continuance of the United States land office at Del Norte, which Land Commissioner Ballinger recently recommended should be merged with the Pueblo office. Senator Guggenheim explained to the secretary the conditions prevailing in the San Luis valley, predicting growth rather than falling off of land business in that part of the state. At the close of the hearing the secretary assured Senator Guggenheim that he would continue the office on its present basis. Pleas for continuance of the office had been made previously by Representatives Cook and Haggott and the entire Colorado delegation is pleased with the secretary's decision. Senator Guggenheim on Tuesday in- Providing for an additional United States circuit judge for the Eighth judicial circuit. Providing that government mail matter relating to naturalization should be transmitted free by registered mail. Providing for an additional United States district judge for the district of Colorado. To establish a fish hatching station at Estes park at a cost of $20,000. Increasing proportionately with the present rating for total deafness the pension of all persons entitled to pensions under the general laws for partial deafness. Granting pensions to surviving members and widows of member of the Forsythe scouts at $12 monthly. The Forsythe scouts were participants in the Beecher's Island Indian fight, Colorado. Appropriating $20,000 to provide medals for the surviving volunteers of Lincoln's first call for 75,000 troops in the Civil War. Allotting a quarter section of land to each settler irrigating ten acres of land from flowing wells. Appropriating $110,000 to purchase the "Rucker Ridge" lands, approximating 320 acres, for an additional parade ground for Fort Logan. Authorizing the sale of grazing lands in arid states at $1 per acre in lots of one, two, three or four sections. To reimburse states and territories not fully paid for expenses incident to raising, paying, organizing and equipping troops serving in the Spanish war. Senator Carter of Montana offered a resolution in the senate Tuesday calling upon the House of Representatives to return to the senate the bill passed before the holidays suspending during 1907 the law requiring not less than $100 worth of labor shall be performed on mining claims in Colorado, California, Oregon, South Dakota and Idaho. The resolution was objected to by Mr. Teller and went over. Senator Carter's action, it is understood, is based on the idea that the law will be retroactive. The usual resolutions referring the President's annual message to the several committees, furnished the occasion in the house today for a number of addresses, mostly by members of the Democratic side. This covered a variety of subjects, but those that attracted especial attention were by Mr. Sheppard (Texas) and Willet (N. Y.) The former not only made a plea for the restoration of the legend "In God We Trust" on American coins, but discussed the cruise of the American battleship fleet and referred to a possible conflict with Japan. Richard A. Ballinger, commissioner of the General Land Office, has tendered his resignation to that office to President Roosevelt, and it has been accepted, to take effect March 4th. Fred Dennet, assistant commissioner, has been appointed commissioner. March 4th Commissioner Ballinger will have completed practically a year of service in the office. He was appointed at the request of Secretary Garfield of the Interior Department. The secretary and Mr. Ballinger were classmates at college, and when Mr. Garfield was named as secretary of the interior he expressed a desire that Mr. Ballinger should be named as commissioner of the General Land Office. When the position was tendered him Mr. Ballinger declined it on account of his business in Seattle, which he did not see his way clear at that time to rellinquish. Secretary Garfield urged him to accept the position, and he finally consented. It was of Mr. Ballinger that the President said he had got a $20,000 man for a $5,000 salary. Commissioner Ballinger in his year of service has reorganized the land office from top to bottom and has placed it on an efficient working basis. Grand Junction Sugar Factory. Denver.—A Grand Junction dispatch Tuesday night says: The local factory of the Great Western Sugar and land Company has closed for the season, after one of the most successful runs in its history. The total production of refined sugar exceeded 15,000,000 pounds. Agents of the company left today for various parts of the western slope with new contracts to be signed with the growers for their 1908 output, which will be materially increased. The uniform price of $5 a ton and 75 cents per acre for planting will be paid this year. soth Houses and Senate Committees Report Homestead Bills. Washington.—The House and Senate public lands committees held meetings Wednesday and both reported favorably bills to permit entry of second homesteads. The house committee reported the Mondell bill permitting any person who has made a prior homestead entry, but for any cause has forfeited the same, to make a new entry as if the prior entry had not been made. The Senate committee reported the Gamble bill, authorizing any person who has been able to prove up on a homestead entry through no fault of his own, or obliged to abandon his entry by reasons of mistakes made in location, or character of the land, to make a second entry. Both House and Senate bills deny the application of their benefits to future entries. The Senate committee also reported a bill to confirm homestead commutation proofs accepted by local land officers and rejected by the General Land Office on account of changes prescribed by former Secretary Hitchcock, in the regulations as to continuous residence and not transmitted to local officials until after many proofs had been accepted under the original regulations. Senator Guggenheim has recommended the reappointment of Paul Sours as postmaster at Denver and it is expected his nomination will be sent to the Senate soon. Miss Edith A. Lloyd of Hugo has been appointed clerk in Pike's Peak forest reservation office. Representative Bonyngue introduced a bill to pay the state of Colorado twenty-five per cent, of all money paid to the United States for mineral lands for the purpose of maintaining the State School of Mines at Golden, provided that the sum shall not exceed $5,000 a year or more than expended annually by the state. First Lieutenant George R. Spalding, corps of engineers, is relieved from duty as chief engineer, department of the Colorado, and will proceed to Detroit, Michigan, for duty. Frank M. Fickes has been appointed postmaster at Coalby, Delta county, Colorado, vice A. J. Wabon, resigned. Kentucky Tobacco Raiders Paris, Ky.—Night riders made their appearance in force in the Burley district late Monday night, visiting two towns and destroying two warehouses and a big general store. The raiders did not fire any shots in either place, but went about their work quietly, leaving as soon as their work had been accomplished. The men were all masked and heavily armed and created a reign of terror among the citizens of the little villages. The first visit was made to the town of Bethel, in Bath county, a village of about 500 inhabitants, whose people were entirely unprepared for a raid. The army marched into the town shortly before midnight and those who were aroused were told to go back to their houses. The mob went directly up the main street of the village and saturating with oil the big independent tobacco house of A. R. Robinson, soon had it a mass of flames. As soon as the riders had left the village, persons rushed to the fire and attempted to put it out. Before they succeeded, the general store of Peters Bros., adjoining the warehouse, was burning and all efforts to save it were futile. From Bethel, the raiders visited the little town of Sherbourne, in Fleming county, where they destroyed the independent warehouse of Dougherty Bros. No shots were fired, but the raiders, in order to prevent any aid from being summoned, cut all the telephone and telegraph wires leading into both places. The loss caused by the raid is not known, as the exact amount of tobacco in the warehouses could not be ascertained. Bryan Campaign Opened. Chicago.—The standpoints from which the aristocrat and the democrat view society and its activities formed the theme of a speech delivered Wednesday by William J. Bryan. Bryan was the chief guest at the Jackson day banquet of the Jefferson club. Prominent party men from several Western states were present, the occasion being generally regarded as the formal opening of Bryan's campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency at the Denver convention next July. Among the other speakers were Adalai Stevenson, former vice president, of Bloomington, Ill., and United States Senator William J. Stone of Missouri. New Deal in San Francisco. San Francisco.—The remnants of the Schmitz administration, under which this community suffered for six years, were cleaned out of the city government Wednesday. Not one vestige of Schmitz or Reuf influence remains in the municipal administration which began Wednesday, for even the two officials elected on the McCarty ticket, the treasurer and county clerk, have abandoned the standard that flew from the county jail. Every other officer in the city, including a complete board of supervisors, is occupied by men elected on the Democratic and Good Government tickets. Want Woodmen Convention. Denver.—When the head council of the Modern Woodmen of America meets next June in Peoria, Ill., a delegation will present the claims of Denver as the place of the next meeting, which will be held in June, 1911. The Modern Woodmen of America holds only one convention every three years, but, it is said, it causes a gathering of upwards of 60,000 people. At the Peoria convention this year 500 delegates are expected to attend, and, in addition, there will be present in the city 5,000 uniformed members. Besides, officers of the order say, a large percentage of the 900,000 members of the order will visit Peoria during the meeting. MURDER AND MUTILATION BELIEF THAT MISSING PEOPLE AT FLORENCE WERE CHOPPED TO PIECES. PARTSOFBODIESFOUND SUSPECTED MURDERER IN CUST TODY AND MAY MAKE CONFESSION. Denver.—A Republican special from Florence, Colorado, Wednesday night, says: That Ercola Buffetti, Dominick Minichiello, Joseph Minichiello and Mrs. Frank Palmetto have been foully murdered and their bodies chopped to pieces, the police consider certain. What disposition was made of the mutilated corpses was partly revealed today when human lungs, thorax and the base of a tongue were fished out of the turbulent waters of the Arkansas river. It is believed that other ghostly remains are being scattered along the bed of the river by the swift current and towns below here have been notified to watch for the appearance of any evidence of murder that may come to the surface. All of the gruesome evidence of the supposed quadruple tragedy may not have been disposed of in this way. The police theory is that when the bodies were hacked to pieces, the murderer may have been guided by almost maniacal cunning to scatter the bloody fragments as widely as possible, casting some into the secret-keeping river, burying others in out-of-the-way places, putting some into the depths of abandoned wells, clisterns or cesspools, or reducing others to ashes in some secreted fireplace. Nasiro Sisinorzo, a Mexican woman, today reports to the police that yesterday she was asked to wash a suit of clothes and a shirt which were torn, as if in a struggle, and spotted with stains which the woman believes were made by blood. When Joseph Minichiello was killed, the police believe there was a desperate fight. It is believed that Minichiello was killed in an orchard where the police found evidence of a struggle. While this tragedy was being enacted, the theory is, Buffetti accidentally appeared on the scene and witnessed part of it. Buffetti was past sixty years old, and had stopped with Bovori for two months, working for his board. He was nearly blind and deaf. His room is in disorder and the clothes he wore Monday lie upon the floor. The police believe he was killed while he slept, the night after Minichiello was murdered. Bovori was subjected to a searching examination by Chief of Police Furniss today. The chief says the prisoner confessed having killed a man in Italy before coming to America. Chief Furniss says Bovori told him that he knew where Mrs. Palmetto could be found but that she would never be found alive. Further than this the prisoner refused to talk. It is said by neighbors that Bovori became infatuated with Mrs. Palmetto who was only eighteen years old; that his attentions to her caused her husband to get a divorce; that when she came to Florence to work in a restaurant, Bovori induced her to keep house for him. She had repeatedly refused to marry him, it is alleged. The police today made a thorough search of Bovori's house, finding a bunch of letters addressed to "Tony Neroni," which is believed to be Bovori's real name. One letter was from Bovori's father in Italy, asking the young man to return to the old country and participate in a fortune the family had recently inherited. The father offered to use every effort to clear the son of the murder charge in Italy if he would return. When Bovori was searched at the jail, he had $350 in currency. The police say one of the bills bore a stain believed to be of blood. The police believe the prisoner was planning to return to Italy and charge him with killing the Minichiello brothers to get them out of the way of disposing of joint property and to obtain what money they had. Dominick Minichiello is said to have had $200 when he disappeared. Searching parties with grappling hooks have been dragging the river since the lungs and thorax were found, in hope that if the remainder of the body is lodged in the bed of the stream it may be recovered. Part of the entrails of a human being was found, but nothing from which the identity of the victim could be determined. At the point where the lungs were washed ashore were tracks of a wheelbarrow which, it is said, lead from the river bank to Bovori's house. Fred G. Bonfils Fined Denver.—Magistrate Thomas Carlon fined Fred G. Bonfils of the Denver Post, $50 and costs for the assault committed upon Senator Thomas M. Patterson two weeks ago. But he prefaced his judgment with some urgent advice to the proprietors of the Post and News-Times to stop their bitter personal quarreling through the columns of their papers. In announcing judgment Justice Carlon also gave Bonfils warning that in case he was again found guilty of an assault, as he is said to have threatened, the punishment would be far different. In fact, like that awarded to any other violators of the peace upon a second offense, namely, a jail sentence. Mr. Bonfils' attorney gave notice of an appeal, but it is generally thought that the case will not be fought any farther. M. B. B. LAWRENCE STEPHEN THIRST CE STEPHEN Denver.

GUS JOHNSON'S SALOON We treat the boys right WILL AID MARRIAGE PACIFIC COAST BACHELORS FORM AFFINITY CLUB. Scarcity of Maids Results in Society Which Plans to Import Women Organization to Pay Wedding Expenses. Spokane, Wash.—Designed to solve the problem of the scarcity of marriageable young women in the island empire, the Spokane Affinity club has been organized in this city by 25 bachelors under 30 years of age. The society proposes to bring 5,000 young women into the Spokane country from the eastern states, find employment for them, and act as general sponsor. When any of the imported young women is convinced that she has found her soul-mate all marriage expenses will be borne by the club, including the license, the minister's fee, a wedding dinner and flowers. J. C. Power Brown, secretary of the Spokane mining brokers' exchange, is president of the new society. The secretary and treasurer is Wallace A. McBurney, vice president and manager of the Falls City Lumber company, and the manager of the society is Cadwallader Jones, manager of the United States Steel and Equipment company. The membership is drawn from the best circles of Spokane society. As a member must have property of value greater than $1,000, they are all eligible young men and entirely liable in case they find their affinity among the importations. Branches are to be instituted in every city and town of more than 500 inhabitants throughout the inland empire. Shortly after the organization of the club President Brown gave out the following statement: "The purpose of the club is to induce young women to come into this district. There is a scarcity of young women in the northwest, and the inland empire is no exception. I am not overestimating the fact when I say that 5,000 women between the ages of 20 and 30 years could find good husbands and comfortable homes in Spokane alone. This may seem an extravagant statement in a city of nearly 100,000 population, but the fact is that many more men than women have come into the city during the last 18 months. "The first step in the campaign to bring young women into the country will be to write to our friends and acquaintances in the old homes in the middle, western, eastern, southern and New England states and eastern Canada, urging them to come to the northwest, and then prevail upon them to write to their girl acquaintances. In that way a chain system will be established and the problem finally solved. "Any man between the ages of 25 and 40, industrious and of good character, and possessed of at least $1,000, or its equivalent in reality, is eligible to membership in the club." PAID WITH KISS; LOSES SUIT. When Girl Grew Cold Carpenter Sent in Bill Demanding Money. Mineola, L. I.—Bennette Bonanno of Manhattan sued John Lester and his wife Mary of Rockville Center, here for $309, which he said was due him for carpentering and other work done for them. The defense set up the claim that the work was paid for with a kiss. It was asserted by the Lesters that the work was done in a friendly way and was not to be paid for. Bonanno made no demand for pay until he and Rosie Vitro, the pretty 16-year-old daughter of the Lesters, ceased to be friends. Mrs. Lester told about a bird house which she said Bonanno had given her adopted daughter. In his bill the bird house figures as a $35 charge. She, her daughter and Bonanno were admiring the house and the girl exclaimed: "Oh! how can I pay you?" To this, Mrs. Lester said, Bonanno replied: "I'd take a kiss for pay." "Was the kiss given?" asked the court. "It was," responded the witness. Miss Vitro told the same story. She said she had done some sewing for Bonanno, who was calling on her very frequently, and he promised her a present and sent her the bird house. She admitted paying with a kiss. Justice Garretson granted a non-suit. GIVES CANNON THE IRON GRIP. "Baby" Member, with Viselike Hands shake, Makes Him Wince. Washington.—A mild-mannered and unathletic-looking young man is Representative Harry Wolf of Baltimore, aged 27, the "baby" of the present house, and who began life as a newsboy. He was introduced to Speaker Cannon. The speaker extended his hand. Wolf took a good, firm grip on it. The speaker winced and pulled his hand away as quickly as he could. The fingers were in a bunch and almost paralyzed. The "baby" member has a grip like a vise and works it all the time without thinking. "Young man," said the speaker ruefully, as he shook the circulation back into his crushed paw, "if you have a grip on your district like that I'm afraid I won't live to see another Republican elected from it." HOW TO WASH CHAMOIS Gloves of That Kind Should Be Cleansed in Bath of Soapy Water. Every woman is under the impression that chamois skin gloves are grand till she has tried to wash a pair. They are said to wash so easily that the one who has a pair seldom makes any attempt to keep them clean in the beginning. She is sure that all she has to do is to give them a careless scrubbing to make them as good as new that she doesn't take even the ordinary precautions. Wait till she has tried washing them just once, and then hear her denounce anything made of chamois skin forever after. They can be washed to look like new, however, if one but knows the little trick of leaving the soap in to keep them soft. Again, it is bad policy to wash them on the hand, as they are sure to stretch this way. Rather cleanse them by the squeezing method, rolling them up in a little ball in the palm of the hand. Wash in several waters, all soapy, and finally pull into shape without rinsing. Do not stretch them in the least, but after working the fingers into shape hang them in a current of air, but not near heat of any kind. When dry give them a vigorous rubbing with a brush to bring up the nap. OLD-FASHIONED STYLES LIKED. Odd Shapes in China Are in Favor This Season. Old-fashioned styles in china will prevail this season, and to the uninitiated much of the new dinner ware will appear cheap because the shapes are odd rather than pretty. For this innovation possibly the craze for mission furniture in dining-rooms is responsible, for many of the designs are in keeping with this style of furnishing. As to the decoration on these—mission sets—small, plain-looking nosegays of flowers in one color are used throughout each service. This ornamentation is in just such plain shades as green, blue and red. There is a marked change in the shapes of the dishes, for the square vegetable dishes and sauce boats, the latter made in one piece, with the dish it rests upon, have returned to favor. Flat meat dishes follow the lines of the covered ones and are decidedly angular. Small butter plates are shaped square to match, and so are many of the smaller side platters. Maple Sugar Cake: This is a recipe not generally known, but it has been tried with great success. For the layers rub together one cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar until they form a cream. Add the yolks of four eggs beaten lightly, three cupfuls of sifted flour, half a cupful of milk, the whites of the eggs whipped to a froth and lastly one teaspoonful of baking powder. Bake in jelly pans. For the filling boll one cupful of maple sirup until it threads. Pour slowly upon the white of one egg, which has been beaten stiff, beating steadily all the while. Continue beating until the mixture is cold and thick, then spread between the layers and on the top. If desired still richer stir half a cupful of butternuts, which have been chopped fine, into the filling just before spreading on the cake. New Use for Table Oil Cloth. A woman who is always discovering things about the house that nobody else ever thought of says that the oilcloth used for kitchen tables makes an excellent floor covering if used over felt padding. It has the merit, moreover, of coming in daintier patterns than the ordinary oilcloth used for kitchens. It can be kept perfectly clean by scrubbing with soapy water made from a good white soap. Do not rub the soap on the oilcloth itself, but instead make a strong suds. The strong yellow soaps used in most kitchens will soon wear off the luster of the oilcloth and make it dull and shabby looking. Wipe the floor perfectly dry with a clean soft cloth. Turkish Delight. Soak an ounce of gelatine for two hours in half a cupful of cold water, Dissolve two cupfuls of granulated sugar in half a cupful of cold water. As soon as it boils add the gelatine and cook steadily for 20 minutes. Flavor with the rind and juice of one orange and orange flower water or rose water. Turn into tins wet with cold water and when set cut into squares. Roll in a mixture of cornstarch and confectioner's sugar. A few chopped nuts may be added to the sirup when it is taken from the fire. New Idea in Napkin Rings An embroidered napkin ring is a pretty novelty. The design is worked in the solid satin stitch on heavy linen; then the lining is carefully basted along the edge, and this is but tonhoiled with small scallops, the buttonholing fastening the outside and lining together. One end is pointed and has a buttonhoiled loop at the extreme point. The other end is straight and a small pearl button is sewed on about two inches from the end. The loop fastens over this, and the ring is complete. Dolly Varden Cake One cupful white sugar; one-half cupful of butter beaten to a cream, whites of three eggs beaten to a froth, one-half cupful of sweet milk, two cupfuls of flour, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda, flavor with lemon; beat the yolks of three eggs with 15 spoonfuls of powdered sugar; put the frosting on the cake as soon as removed from oven.

FELLOW SERVANT ACT DECISION APPROVED BY FIVE JUSTICES, FOUR MEMEBERS OF COURT DISSENTING. Washington.—That the congressional act known as the "Employers' liability law" is not in accordance with the constitution of the United States, because it goes beyond the bounds permitted in the regulation of interstate commerce, was the conclusion reached by the Supreme Court of the United States in deciding two damage cases coming to the court from the federal courts of Kentucky and Tennessee, which were brought under the provisions of the law. The decision was announced by Justice White, the court standing five to four against the law. Even among the five who voted not to sustain the statute there were different shades of opinicn Following are the principal points from Justice White's opinion: "The act being addressed to all common carriers engaged in interstate commerce, and imposing a liability upon them in favor of any of their employees without qualification or restriction as to the business in which the carriers or their employees may be engaged at the time of the injury, of necessity includes subjects wholly outside of the power of Congress to regulate commerce. "Concluding as we do, that the statute, while it embraces subjects within the authority of Congress to regulate commerce, also includes subjects not within its constitutional power, and that the two are so interblended in the statute that they are incapable of separation, we are of the opinion that the courts below rightly held the statute to be repugnant to the constitution and non-enforcible and the judgments below are, therefore, affirmed." The decision was in suits for damages—one being the case of the widow of Will Howard, a man who was killed in an accident near Memphis; the other that of the mother of Morris S. Brooks, a fireman killed on the Southern Pacific in Nevada. The Howard case was tried in Tennessee with Judge McCall presiding, and the Brooks case in Kentucky, with Judge Walter Evans on the bench. Virtually Sustains Judge Lewis. Washington.—Unusual significance is attached to a decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court Monday in the case of former Congressman John N. Williamson of Oregon, who was convicted of subnation of perjury under the timber and stone act, in that the decision is expected to apply to practically all of the prosecutions brought in the arid land states by the department of justice for alleged violations of the regulations of the Interior Department in timber and stone and coal cases. The decision virtually sustains the recent decision of Judge Lewis of the United States Court for the district of Colorado, dismissing the indictments brought under the timber and stone and coal land laws. Today's decision recites: "It is provided by section 3 of the timber and stone act that effect shall be given to its provisions by requisitions prescribed by the commissioner of the General Land Office. But this power must be construed as authorizing the commissioner to adopt rules and regulations for enforcement of the statute and can not have authorized him to virtually adopt rules and regulations destructive of the rights Congress had conferred. "As there is no requirement concerning making of final proof of particular affidavits referred to, and as the entrymen who complies with the preliminary requirements is under no obligation to make such affidavits and has full power to dispose, ad interim, of his claim, upon final issue of patent, we think the motive of the applicant at the time of final proof is irrelevant and therefore that error was committed, not alone in instructing the jury that the indictment covered or could cover procurement of perjury in connection with final proof and that the jury might base conviction thereon, but in admitting final proof as evidence tending to show an alleged illegal purpose in the primary application for the purchase of lands." Estimates for Denver Building. Washington—Plans and specifications were submitted to Congress Monday by Supervising Architect Taylor of the proposed new federal building in Denver, for which a site has recently been purchased. The estimates call for a building to cost $1,800,000, 49,500 square feet ground space, basement, four stories and attic, and of fireproof construction. Drawings showing the elevation and plans of the building were sent with the estimates. The items specified in the estimates are as follows: Excavation, $10,128; concrete floors, $30,296; brick work, $122,318; stone work, $377,533; iron and bronze work, $301,806; wrought iron work, $32,000; fireproofing, $188,339; roofing, $40,690; plastering and marble floors, $184,324; wood finish, $156,648; painting, $17,502; plumbing, $27,000; heat and ventilating, $80,000; wiring, $22,000; approaches and stone walks, $31,415; lock boxes, $7,000; contingent, $172,000. It is the belief of Colorado members of the House and Senate that they will succeed in having a bill passed to provide for the Denver building if there is any public building legislation this session. U. S. POSTOFFICE BUSINESS. Recommendations of the First Assistant Postmaster General. Washington.—The report of First Assistant Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock has been made public. The revenues collected through the post-offices during the fiscal year 1906 amounted to about $168,000,000, a gain of more than $1,000,000, and the report states that this growth was continued in 1907, when the aggregate was $183.000,000. In order to meet this continuous growth of his bureau Mr. Hitchcock makes an appeal for larger appropriations. "The present policy of reappointing presidential postmasters who have conducted their offices to the satisfaction of the public and department has resulted in decided benefit to the service," says Mr. Hitchcock. He adds that about sixty-five per cent. of the presidential postmasters have been reappointed. Increased salaries for various classes of employees of the department are recommended. In order to relieve third class postmasters of the necessity of paying for assistants out of their salaries, a recommendation is made for an increase to $2,000,000 of the allowances for that purpose. Thirty instead of fifteen days' annual leave is raised for postal employees. An extension of the city delivery service to smaller towns than are included under the present law, is recommended. Under the amendment to the law he suggests free delivery would be given to over 1,400 towns that do not now enjoy that privilege. The total number of postmasters of all classes appointed during the year was 13,135, as against 14,535 for 1906. Engineer Fletcher's Last Run. Grand Junction, Colo. — Engineer Herbert W. Fletcher of Grand Junction, on his last run, before retiring from the service, was killed outright, his fireman, D. Frederickson, fatally hurt, and Brakeman R. C. Darnell, fearfully injured in a collision with a string of stray car cars on the main line of the Rio Grande Western near Thistle junction, a short distance west of Grand Junction, early Monday morning. Fletcher was driving his train, an extra freight, at a rapid rate of speed, ignorant of the impending danger, when it suddenly crashed head on into the runaway cars, which were not protected by signal lights. The locomotive was completely demolished and Fletcher's body, horribly mangled, was found between the drive wheels of his engine. The fireman was thrown out of the cab, the engine overturning upon him. His injuries are so serious that his recovery is not expected. Brakeman Darnell, who was riding on the top of the first car from the engine, was pitched to the ground and one of the freight cars fell upon his legs, breaking and crushing them. The injured men were taken to the Salt Lake hospital on a relief train. The track was blocked for several hours and all traffic was suspended for that length of time. The damage to the rolling stock was estimated at about $30,000. Fletcher was thirty years old, and a member of the Elks and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. He sent his resignation to the company several weeks' ago and announced before leaving Grand Junction Sunday night that the trip was his last and that when he returned he intended to retire from the railroad and enter into business for himself at this place, after a visit to relatives at his old home in Kansas. Fletcher is survived by a widow and two children. Court Reproves Stratton Executors. Colorado Springs.—A refusal to approve ok the annual report made by the executors of the Stratton estate was made for the third successive year by Judge Kerr in a statement made in the County Court Monday. The main reason for the refusal is that the executors have failed to include in their annual reports the names of those alleged to be receiving free transportation from the Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway Company, which is one of the three subsidiary companies of the Stratton estate. It is claimed by the court that at least 160 persons are in possession of annual free transportation which, reckoned on a basis of $5 or $6 a month, has been worth from $50,000 to $60,000 to the estate in the last five years, during which time the executors have had charge. In his statement Judge Kerr says: "If they have a right to give away the revenue of the street car lines, I see no escape from the conclusion that on the same principle they may also give away the revenue derived from the lease of the Brown Palace hotel, or from the Mining Exchange building or from the royalties derived from the Cripple Creek mines or from any other asset of the estate. If this theory were correct, then the executors might do as they pleased with the assets of the estate and dispose of them as if they were their own property." Destructive Fire at Lander. Lander, Wyo.—The Orchard opera house, bar and cafe burned early Monday morning, involving a loss of at least $10,000, about half covered by insurance. The Women of Woodcraft gave a children's masquerade ball in the hall at night and it is thought that the fire caught from a superheated flue, as it broke out at four o'clock, two hours after the dance broke up. The Opera House bar boasted of the finest collection of mounted wild game heads in the state, one fine freak elk head being valued at more than $500. The flames burned so swiftly and had made such headway when discovered that nothing was saved, even the cash register being destroyed. There was no wind at the time and the firemen managed by hard work to save the adjoining buildings, though the tea and coffee store of J. R. Parker and the jewelry store of W. B. Lodge & Co. in the Jackson block adjoining, were damaged by smoke and water. H. J. HESPER. J. H. WEICHHANE TELEPHONE MAIN 4271. THE N. & W. LIQUOR CO.

One tract calls for $20 an acre and the others ranged from $3.50 to $10.75 an acre. On each tract the state made the usual reservation of mineral rights. On account of ill health, O. V. Officer has resigned as manager of the Longmont sugar factory and N. Roy McCreery has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. McCreery began work for the Great Western Sugar Company at Loveland seven years ago as a stenographer and was promoted to be assistant manager at Longmont four years ago. Since the resignation of W. A. Matlock as traffic manager of the Short Line railroad, the office has been abolished. The duties of the office will be assumed by J. H. Watters, general manager of the road. Mr. Matlock resigned to go into the land business near Canon City. He is associated with a company which is setting out fruit orchards on an extensive plan. At a meeting of the depositors' committee of the Colorado State bank of Durango, with the directors of the bank the directors offered all of their individual property to all the bank in paying claims. B. N. Freeman, president of the bank, stated in behalf of the directors, that all they asked was time to realize on the assets, and they were certain that, with the property of the directors, there would be more than enough to pay every depositor. VIRGINIA MERCHANT RID OF A VERY BIG GRAVEL STONE. Another Remarkable Cure of Serious Kidney Trouble. C. L. Wood, a prominent merchant of Fentress, Norfolk Co., Va., was suffering some months ago with frequent attacks of hard pain in the back, kidneys and bladder and the kidney secretions were irregularly scanty or profuse. Medical treatment failed to cure him. tering some months ago with frequent attacks of hard pain in the back, kidneys and bladder and the kidney secretions were irregularly scanty or profuse. Medical treatment failed to cure him. "At last," says Mr. Wood, "I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and before one box was gone, I went through four days of intense pain, finally passing a stone, one-half by five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. I haven't had a sign of kidney trouble since." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Traveler's Picture Books. Picture books for the benefit of travelers are kept in the Paris police stations. It frequently occurs that foreigners lose things which they are unable to describe, because of their unfamiliarity with the French language. The picture books contain representations of various articles, and the inquirer has only to turn the leaves and point out the illustrations which resemble the property he lost. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. HE KNEW. Father—Yes, you're a regular little pig! Wouldn't give your brother any of that candy.

The mayor and the state superintendend had spent an hour talking to the children in an Ohio school, and just before the stroke of the gong the chairman of the local school committee was called upon to follow them. "Children," he said, pointing toward the window, "as you go out from the school in about two minutes you will see a gang of men who are now shoveling cinders into a railway train. They are earning $35 a month. "Beside them is a timekeeper earning $55. "At the head of the train is an engineer getting $100, and over him is a superintendent getting two hundred. "What is the difference between those men? Education. Get all you can of it."—Youth's Companion. FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles. "Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condition that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and I hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some discussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it, and then it was easy to leave off coffee. "His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it, too. "Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very nervous and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs, and can do as much work as anyone my size. I think. "Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make it right. I have successfully fooled a great many persons who have drunk it at my table. They would remark, 'You must buy a high grade of coffee.' One young man who clerked in a grocery store was very enthusiastic about my 'coffee.' When I told him what it was, he said, 'why I've sold Postum for four years but I had no idea it was like this. Think I'll drink Postum hereafter.'" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." DEAR LITTLE CHAP.

DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA" In Bad Case of Eczema on Child— Disease Had Reached a Fearful State—His Order Resulted in Complete Cure. "When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich, Oct. 20. 1907." And the Judge Stopped Smiling. One day a celebrated advocate was arguing before a very rude old Scotch judge, who pointed with one forefinger to one of his ears, and with the other to the opposite one. "You see this, Mr. X?" "I do, my lord," said the advocate. "Well, is just goes in here and comes out there," and his lordship smiled with the hilarity of a judge who thinks he has actually said a good thing. "I don't doubt it, my lord," replied the advocate; "what is there to prevent it?" Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disease portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remediation. The most common cause of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infused you have a rumbling sound or imminent hearing, and the entirely closed tube is the result, and unless the tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases have been taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Crabbe—Well, I'm not tender-hearted, but some of these nervy beggars make me feel like taking off my coat and giving it to them—good and proper. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Hubby Gets Suspicicus.

He practiced as a veterinary for 20 years and has battled successfully with every disease to which that animal is subject.

A white marble statue of an ance- bor adorns the grounds of Mrs. Blair's country estate, and one of her maids, a fresh arrival from Cape Breton, re- cently asked what "that" was there for. Mrs. Blair explained and, being armed to the teeth with the history of this, her most distinguished fore- bear, added something about his "life-work" and "great principles." "Don't you admire the figure?" she asked. "No, mem," the girl from Cape Breton replied. "I don't like dead men standin' up in front of people's houses. He'd ought to be in his grave.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

Piet eeaeanseee) Be Season's ©) » Modes ‘Oe i a | 7] A aie EVENING DREC&S DECSTGNCY tena eaves deeepterenss Re eaeregiee nee a ee of the present season in connection with the dress question may be said to be the very long, very plain, and very tight skirts—for afternoon and evening wear—and the tunics which are veritable overdresses. With regard to the long, plain skirts it fs certain that they will be amaz- ingly fashionable for many months to come; their charm is only just now making itself felt because at first sight they were so remarkable that many women hesitated about adopting them. It is not that we have not had long, untrimmed skirts with us before now, but it is that these particular skirts are designed to display the lines of the figure with such absolute accuracy that the effect is, as I have said, startling—at first. Almost in- variably these dresses are cut in seml-princess style, with a seam right down the front. In some cases sey- eral small pleats are made in this seam, giving the dress the effect of having been too long when sent home from the dressmaker’s establishment and of having been “tucked up” by, more or less, amateur hands! This seems a funny description of a very new Parisian fashion, but ‘twill serve. Anyone who has seen the particular skirt I mean will understand. Happily many of the new evening and after- noon dresses of this order are made without these peculiar little pleats on the front breadth, for, though novel, they are not pretty! Supple satin and mirror velvet are the two favorite materials for such gowns as those to which I have just alluded, and though the skirts are for the most part untrimmed, a vast quan- tity of stuff is used in their construc- tion, The trains are invariably long, and at the hem there is a wide “flare.” Very soft silk is used for the linings of these dresses, and many wide-pleated frills of chiffon or crepe Chine are introduced underneath, to make the hem flou. With a satin or velvet gown of this order as a foundation the most beauti- ful and delicate over-dresses—half coat and half tunic—are introduced. These over-dresses are made of embroidered and pailletted chiifon, lace, crepe, tulle, or coarse Russian net, and fre- quently they are hemmed with a nar- row band of sable, chinchilla or mink, and always they are delightfully pic- turesque and becoming. The ultra-fashionable evening gowns of the moment are made In three dis- ‘inet parts, the long plain skirt of eatin or velvet cut en corselet at the back and showing almost a normal waistline in front. Then there is the tiny cross-over bodice of richest em- brolderies and most costly lace—col- ors and materials, most probably, forming a contrast to the skirt. Final- ly, there is the transparent over-dress or tunic—rich in paillettes and in- crasted with lace and motifs of far! The combination is marvelously ef- fective when carried out by a master- hand, and in such gowns as these a pretty woman looks more than her prettiest! It must not be supposed that the dresses I am now describing at ail re- semble tea-gowns, for they do not; they are pleturesque without verging on the “artistic,” and they are not in the least of the order neglige. A marked peculiarity of the tunics which are rapidly beccming so fash: fonable is the manner in which they are shaped down almost into a point directly in front. Sometimes this point makes {ts appearance at the back also, but as often as not the front 1s very long, while the sides and ‘back are comparatively short. I have seen this outline making its appear ance in several of the new models for eftarnoon gowns in chiffon-cloth the tunies fashfoned after the manner of a raeyaiea coat, only that they fas tened invisibly on the left shoulder fn: stead of opening in front. Pleats are sometimes cunningly introduced at the waist and stitched down to the line of the knees, where the material is allowed to fan out. Long sleeveless coats of filet net— elaborately braided or embroidered— will be one of the features of the spring season, and it {s difficult to convey in words the charm of these garments. Being transparent, they do not hide the lines of the figure, but they give to the whole costume an air of easy grace which 1s irresistible, and for women who have passed **eir LES a At P BU. E tec ; | AWA LH 4 ( \ SS Nat ~ hangs 95-* Tea-Gown Designed for Home Dinner Wear. first youth they are simply invaluable. With a perfectly cut gown of black, peau dg sole, a transparent coat— reaching quite to the knees—of black filet trimmed with bands of Japanese embroidery and decorated with black silt braidings, might be worn with a certainty of success. A touch of vivid. color could be introduced in the waist- coat, and at the breast a cluster of roses or violets should make their wel- come appearance. We are slowly but surely drifting towards the tight-fitting bodice! This does not mean that the day of the useful blouse 1s over, but it does mean that the blouses of next spring will be very different in outline from those of yesterday. The “pouch” et- fect is finished for the present, and in its place we have dainty little bodices which cross over the bust and remain quite tight at the waist; some of these bodices end off abruptly at the waistline, but others—and these are the more generally becoming—are fashioned like waistcoats, with tiny points in front. When such bodices as these are made with perfectly plain, tight sleeves—the effect 4s rather severe—or it would be so if it were not for the sleeveless, transpar ent coats of which I have just spoken.

MORE DESIRABLE THAN BEAUTY, Writer Makes Good Argument in Fa vor of Neatness. We all long for beauty, but there fs within the grasp of all women something even more desirable than beauty—namely, exquisite neatness. The writer has descanted on the de- strabjlity of neatness more than once, but it is something that will bear to be talked about more than once, or twice, or even a dozen times. “Faith,” says Pat, when reproved for lying, “Oi have such a respect for ‘Truth, O1 wud not be dhragging her out on every occashun.” The writer differs in this respect fram Pat. She has such a re- spect for neatness that she would be dragging her out on every occasion. A man who had traveled much and seen many women in many countries, said the other day, “I prefer neatness to beauty. Beauty does not last, while the woman of 80 can still be charm. ingly neat.” By neatness he meant more than simple tidiness, It includ. ed style and care and taste and the indefinable art of putting on one’s clothes properly. It is a faculty, alas, that Canadian women do not possess to any extent, says a writer in the Montreal Herald. They doubtless in- herit thé Jack of it from their English ancestors, who are noticeably untidy. The mass of Englishwomen do not seem to know the meaning of the word. Their skirts and belts always separate at the back. Their hair is never beautifully coiffed like the Frenchwoman’s, their whole aspect is frowsy to an extreme. Of course, this does not apply to all Englishwomen. There are exceptions to every rule. On the other hand, the Americans are neat, and hence smart, for it is im- possible to be smart without perfect veatness. They have a trim, trig way of wearing their clothes that gives a style to the cheapest ready-made. It you cannot be beautiful you can at least be charmingly neat. And neat- ness has an attractiveness that mere beauty lacks, Diabolo in the Past. More diabolo discoveries. In the National Library at Paris are two prints, one entitled “The Game of Dia- bolo at the Beginning of the Last Cen- tury;” the other entitled “The Devil for Four (the old diabolo).” Two couples are playing diabolo excitedly in a room; the furniture is upset and the mirrors broken. Another design is entitled: “The Good Devil, How He Goes!” A young woman throws a big,| simple fellow in the air, and from his pocket fall pleces of gold. In the same picture is another woman, with her! diabolo cord round the neck of a man,, with the inscription below: “See how we lead them!” Diabolo raised a furor in France in 1812. It was then, according to the Figaro correspondent, imported from England, and an Eng- lish caricature of a later date repre- sents a great Wellington sending to St. Helena’s a very little Napoleon rid- ing on a diabolo. Long before the revolution of 1789 some missionaries in Peking sent an exact reproductigi of diabolo to a French minister ol Mate who collected Chinese gurios!- tles. The Chinese are always found to have forgotten everything we are be- sinning to learn!—Dundoo Advertiser. A Sailor and a Chow Dog. At the hour when women were mak- Ing afternoon calls one day last week! a man attired in the uniform of a’ sailor in the navy attracted a good deal of attention in West Fifty-fourth street, New York, by something he cfrried under his right arm, a some- ting that looked at first Ilke a white bundle, but which, on closer inspec- tton, proved to be a Chinese chow dog that the sailor was trying to sell. The Ittle animal was unusual enough in {fwelf to catch the eyes of the women who stopped to speak to the sailor about it. But more unusual than that was the way in which the tiny pet was elothed as protection against the cold. He not only wore a coat with “sleeves” fr his front and hind legs, but he also bad his furry head covered with a Yeritable baby’s hood, with a ruffle ground the front of it, the cap being tfed under his neck with red ribbons. ‘Fhe “costume” attracted quite as rauch notice as the chow dog did so Inng as its owner remained in sight @n the block.
