THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Great Meeting Governor Hughes and Col. Henry Watterson Address Mammoth Audience at Carnegie Hall in New York in Defense of the Negro and the Support of Tuskegee Institute. Booker T. Washington was also Heard. VOL. XIV. Great N Governor Hughes and Col. Henry dience at Carnegie Hall in N Negro and the Support Booker T. Washington An audience of 2,500 people gathered at Carnegie hall in New York City Friday evening of last week to laud their moral support to Booker T. Washington and his work at the Tuskegee Institute. There were many prominent men present and addressed the audience. The principal speeches were made by Gov. Hughes of New York and Col. Henry Watterson. The Governor spoke in part as follows: we cannot afford to lose sight of fundamental objects, the objects of every good citizen, the objects alike of enlightened self-interest, of patriotism, of broad philanthropy. There are, first, that every man shall be provided with opportunity and stimulus to make the most of himself. (Applause.) Further, that every one shall take such wholesome interest in the welfare of his fellows that usefulness and service shall be the standards of our activities, without which talent and skill are inevitably prostituted to ignoble and corrupt purposes. And still further that our laws and administration of laws shall provide equality of civil rights, shall protect the gains of honest effort, and shall make the field of our labors a fair field where talent and industry shall have a chance on their merits, (applause.) a fair field, free from every form of preventable oppression. "Fellow-citizens, the black man is entitled to his chance. (Applause.) Whatever problem there may be connected with the progress of the black man, as has well been said, it is not comparable with the problem involved in his stagnation or retrogradation. And, therefore, it is that in order to maintain our democratic ideals we must have the door of opportunity opened wide to all our citizens. We cannot maintain these ideals as to one set of our people and ignore them as to others. A special characteristic of the problems of the progress in these last years is the provision that is made for special preparation for the varied activities of life. "In this provision that is made for special preparation, for needed particular training, the Negro must have a generous share. He must have a share that is delimited in recognition of the disadvantages under which he has labored and the serious handicaps of the past. He must be taught how to make the most of himself, and to have WELC HON. W. Register U Here's a Who h He has s W. T. He work Yes, h To crown Just to WELCOME HON. W. T. VERNON, Register U. S.

Economic considerations are well enough But the country is more than a wealth-producing machine. The people of this country are more than parts of a mechanism designed to produce for exchange. This is a country of free men, with the aspirations and the dignity of man hood, and nothing in the long run will be accomplished to add to the permanent wealth and prosperity of the Nation save as we make possible that wholesome self-respect and sense of personal honor --- all the advantage of that stimulous which the white man feels who sees open to him the varied rewards of intelligent effort. "Now, my friends, we are thinking of industry and of preparation for work along special lines according to temperament and aptitude not simply with regard to pro which underlies all our institutions and our prosperity." (Prolonged applause.) Col. Watterson got his share of applause also. And with it there was some laughter when he referred to the "provincials of Fifth Avenue," who needed to be taught geography—that the western boundary of the United States was not the Jersey line, and a number of other points of a similar character. This is his speech, in part: COL. WATTERSON'S SPEECH. Many years ago, within the circle of a bay window overlooking one of the great avenue of the City of Washington, I was dining with a party of friends. We had been discussing the race question, when as if to punctuate our discourse, two men across the way—a black man and a white man—entered upon an altercation which came to blows. The police were conveniently I might say characteristically absent. A ring was formed, and, in true Marquis of Queensberry style, the race war upon a small but tangible scale was then and there fought out. Taking this to illustrate the interrupted conversation, one among our groupe asked apparently confident of the reply, "Which are we for, the nigger or the Irishman?" It was an eminent statesman of the South who answered, "Well, before I decide that I should like to know which has the right of it." COME T. VERNON, S. Treasury. And now he is a leader, A fearless one at that, And let me tell you reader, This poem is a fact. W. T., we bid you welcome, To the Queen City of the plains, For the opportunity is seldom, That we greet such a man of fame. --- My own attitude toward the racial question has always gounded itself in the same principle. I want nothing for myself, or for my children, which I am not ready to give to my colored neighbor and his children I live in a region peopleled by many blacks, good orderly, hard working folk. They know me and they know that when I declare this I mean it. I am, in my own home, served by black people, and very well served, having had no occasion to change a serving man or woman in many years. We go way, and sometimes are absent for months, returning to find the place as we left it. If they were actual members of the family, they could not be more solicitous for our welfare. Unfortunately, there are bad white men as there are bad black men, there are foolish white men, and they constitute the real menace and danger. I am bound to tell you, after forty years of experience and observation and reflection, that I think we began wrong. We put the cart before the horse. Four millions of poor black people, with some centuries of adject slavery and many ages of barbaric night behind them, were not equal to using the freedom that came to them so suddenly, and especially the ballot, with prudence or intelligence. How could they? I don't blame them in the least. On the contrary, I sometimes wonder at their self-restraint. The race question is a mystery. For the matter of that, life is a mystery. Whence we came, whither we are going, we know not. The Ethiopian is thought to be especially imitative. All of us are more or less imitative—paticularly the ultra-smart set of high society, which here on the sea-board imitates the little it knows about the European nobility, and in the interior whatever it can find out about the smat set of the seaboard. It is an unfortunate characteristic of imitation to take for its examples rather the bad than the good of whatever attracts the admiration of its envy. "Jess like white folks" is sometimes heard in colored circles of fashion—that is, among the colored smart set of the plains, of fame. colored Four Hundred. Now, for my part I scarcely think much more of the colored Four Hundred than I think of the Caucasian Four Hundred, who live for vanity and pleasure, and who, if they can't go to heaven in their automobiles don't want to go at all! Every shoemaker to his last, the saying hath it, and that say 1; each mo'her's son of us to his vocation; whatever it be. Men in their places are the men who stand. Neither Seth Low, nor Mr. Rogers, not even Booker Washington or Mark Twain, can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. No NO. 18. more can they make a musician or a poet a lawyer or a doctor out of material that was intended for blacksmithing, dray driving, and plowing. Happily, they don't try. I stand here to-night to declare that the world has never witnessed such progress from darkness to light as that which we see in those districts of the South where the Negro has had a decent opportunity for self-improvement. Let the Negro go to any alien community and try to get employment. Barred on every hand; plenty of sentiment, but no work. There are regions North, East and West which never knew slavery and were a unite for the Union, where the Negro is refused admittance. He is told to move on. He is what the President described the other day as "an undesirable citizen." Turn Southward; plenty both of work and wages for all who bring tranquil minds and willing hands. He is a bad white man who will not help his neighbor black man when that neighbor black man shows the spirit to help himself. He is a bad black man who cherishes hatred in his heart against the white man because he is a white man. He is a foolish black man who thinks because the mirage of social equality, which would prove a curse rather than a blessing, is denied him, that the white man hates him. Social questions the world over create their own laws and settle themselves. They cannot be forced. It is idle anywhere for anybody to contest or quarrel with them. No man should wish to go where he is not wanted; true, self respecting men dismiss the very thought of it, going their own way, hoeing their own row, and giving praise to God that their happiness is within themselves and beyond the reach of any man, be he white or black, king or vassal! And now, my friends, I have said my say. I beg you to go hence this night believing these important thoughts and poor words, the honest emanations of one who has journeyed much, and far and wide in this great land of ours. I was born and grew up in the National capital, contemporary with the vexed slavery agitation. I saw the Union severed and made whole again. Since then I have been in every State and Territory of that Union, and I have yet to come away from one of them, North, South, East, or West, where I had not found something to make me proud of my country. Dr. Washington was then introduced and spoke in part as follows: "The broad question that I want to present to the American people is this, shall we permit the Negro to live upon this territory, getting the least out of the soil, or shall we, by education and proper industrial training, fit him to get the most out of the soil? The millions of my race can be made either useless or useful. They can be made to become either criminals or lawabiding citizens. Which shall it be? One man cannot hold another down in a ditch without remaining there with him. The interest of both races are bound together by a tie that we could not tear as sunder if we would." WAY TO CLEAN UP SYSTEM AN IMPROVEMENT ON ANNUAL OVERTURNING. Instructor in Domestic Science Points Out Proper Method of Getting Rid of Dirt and Preserving Health. It is a unique experience and one worth chronicling to visit a large class in a prominent college for women, where not mathematical logarithms or Greek meters but principles of household management are considered, says the New York Tribune. "And out of such an experience," says the instructor, come points deserving to be widespread. "Thorough cleaning of a room does not mean a semi-annual cleaning. As a clever woman said: 'House cleaning? Don't!' There are certain things which need to be done annually or semi-annually, such as painting, whitening of walls, cleaning stoves, but with the modern house it is more sanitary and more economical to keep clean all the time than to try to do it twice a year. "Following the regular sequence of processes is the most effective way to clean. If the mistress knows this sequence she can instruct the maid. First, collect your materials—dusters, mops, brooms. Next, look out for the piano. Dust and clean it thoroughly with an oiled cloth—preferably kerosene, because this is cleansing, evaporates quickly, is cheap and is always at hand; but sweet oil or salad oil may be substituted. Clean the white keys with alcohol, the black keys with soap and water. Dust the case after closing the piano and cover the instrument carefully. "Now open the windows wide, if the weather permits. Dust and cover all large, permanent articles of furniture. The best dust covers are made of glazed goods—some smooth, washable stuff which may be starched. Then, in order, take down the draperies and, if possible, put them out of doors for the wind and sunshine to purify. Dust the window shades and roll them close to the top. Remove from the window, after dusting, all the easily movable furniture—tables, chairs, etc. Next dust the pictures, both glasses, frames and backs. Newspapers make excellent coverings for pictures. And, by the way, study the use of newspapers. (Wash the picture glasses after the sweeping is over.) "As to books: There is an admirable process expressed in four words—clap, snap, blow, wipe. As to rugs, roll them inside in; spread out, if possible, on the grass or snow, or hang out on the clothesline if there is no other place. Better still, hang them over two or three lines, as this will relieve the strain. Let your rugs have the sunshine for the sake of your health; never mind the fading. Last of all, remove the plants from the room and dust and tie up the chandelier. "Then, while the dust is settling, go outside and do some of the work needed on rugs, draperies, plants. When the dust has settled clean the walls and ceiling, and dust or sweep or wash the floor. Clean the paint and the windows at the end, after the room is cleaned. The final process is very simple. Remove all the large articles of furniture, the draperies, etc. Fold the sweeping covers in and put all your cleaning materials into their places, in readiness for the next time of use." Tearoom Sandwich. One of the tastiest sandwiches served in a certain tearoom is made of toasted fresh bread buttered and spread closely with strips of boned anchovies. The two three-cornered slices are arranged on a large green and yellow lettuce leaf garnished with a thin piece of pickled beet, two strips of a big cucumber pickle and a group of capers. To Hold Broom. A broom supporter made of spools is a simple and convenient device. Srew two large empty spools high up on the middle frame of a door, just far enough apart to allow the handle of the broom to slip in. The broom part rests on the spools. To Remove Kerosene. Kerosene may be removed by the use of fuller's earth. Cover the stain with a thick layer of hot fuller's earth and let it remain 24 hours, then brush off. For a stimulant to make the hair grow mix one part tincture of cantharides and three parts of castor oil, and rub this well into the roots night and morning.

SOCIALISTS ARRESTED MARCH OF UNEMPLOYED IN CHI CAGO CLASHES WITH LEADER OF PARADE KNOCKED DOWN AND TAKEN TO JAIL. Chicago.—An attempt of Socialists to bring about a "march of the unemployed" through the downtown streets Thursday resulted in two sharp fights with the police in which the would-be marchers were routed after a number of men had been clubbed. Dr. Benjamin L. Reitman, the originator of the plan to march through the streets, and two of his followers were arrested after Reitman had been knocked down for resisting the officers. For several days Reitman, who is a Socialist, had been making announcements of his intention to hold a parade of "hoboes" and "unemployed," despite the warning given him by Chief of Police Chippy that no march through the streets would be permitted. Reitman continued to defy the authorities, and thousands of circulars were distributed through the downtown saloons and in the lodging house district, calling upon all men out of work to assemble at 2 o'clock on the lake front. The chief of police early in the day reiterated his statement that the march would not be permitted, and directed that all the police force be held in reserve at the various stations. Just before 2 o'clock a crowd commenced to gather on Michigan avenue in front of the Art institute, and in a few minutes a column, which was really a series of bunches of four and five men, formed and, headed by Reitman, started west on Adams street. The marchers probably did not number more than 200 at any time, but many hundreds of people followed them along the sidewalks and added to the confusion. The police came on at the run, and the column was instantly broken up. Several men were knocked down, and the police, not attempting to make arrests, used their clubs freely in quickening the footsteps of the fleeing "unemployed." A number of the marchers, after getting away from the police, went south in State street, attempting to form another column as they went. Reitman turned south in Clark street, but was quickly caught and placed under arrest. He showed some fight, and was handled in vigorous style. His hat was smashed by a blow from a policeman's club, he was knocked down, and his clothing torn. When he regained his feet he shouted: "Let me go; let me go. I know the chief of police." He was at once taken to police headquarters, followed by a crowd of 2,000 people. After reaching the station Reitman said: "I was arrested without cause and was treated brutally. Some policeman hit me over the head with his club. "There would have been no disorder if the police had allowed us to march through the streets as we wished to do. All we wanted was to go to the city hall and demand that men out of work be given employment by the city." Stoessel Courtmartial St. Petersburg—Testimony showing the straits of the civil population at Port Arthur during the siege was given at the courtmartial of Lieutenant-General Stoessel Wednesday by Colonel Vershini, who was civil commissioner of that place and who fathered the charges against General Stoessel that he reaped a rich harvest by selling eggs and milk and other luxuries to the sick during the siege. According to Colonel Vershini, mere existence was a luxury for civilians. Provisions were enormously expensive. A cow cost $800, a pig $500, eggs $1 each and other things correspondingly. He testified that Mme. Stoessel had a large herd of cattle and a flock of chickens and charged exorbitant prices. Shortly before the surrender, he said, she summoned a merchant and attempted to dispose of these, the supposition being that she had an inking of the coming surrender. The prosecutor's case is practically all in, the judge advocates having dismissed all his witnesses except three, but several of Generel Stoessel's witnesses remain to be heard. Williams Elected Senator. Jackson, Miss. — The Legislature Tuesday elected John Sharp Williams to the United States Senate to succeed H. D. Money, whose term expires March 4, 1911. Williams has long been the leader of the minority in the house. He recently had a pugilistic encounter on the floor of the house, just after adjournment, with Representative De Armond, of Missouri, also a Democrat. The fight followed a quarrel over a committee assignment. Mr. Williams is fifty-four years old. He was born in Tennessee, but his family moved to Mississippi after his father was killed at Shiloh. He is serving his eighth term in the House. Dry Farmers Elect Brooks Salt Lake.—There were 382 registered delegates in attendance at the Trans-Mississippi Dry Farming congress Thursday and 382 votes were cast for the new president, Gov. B. B. Brooks of Wyoming. Nominations were made by a committee and there were no contests. The vice presidents elected are: First vice president, E. A. Birrell, Montpelier, Idaho; second vice president, W. H. Campbell, Lincoln, Nebraska; third vice president, Gov. George Curry, New Mexico. The executive committee includes: C. R. Root, Colorado; H. B. Henderson, Wyoming; J. B. Tinsley, New Mexico. BUILDING FOR STOCK SHOW. Liberal Offer Made by Denver Stock Yards Company. Denver—Through a plan broached at the annual meeting of the Western Live Stock Association in the convention hall of the Albany hotel Wednesday night, Denver is practically promised as fine a stock show stadium and exhibit sheds as possessed by any city in the entire country. Chicago not excepted. They will cost from $300,000 to $400,000. The Stock Yards Company, controlled by the National Packing Company of Chicago, through Colonel W E. Skinner, its Denver representative has promised the Western Live Stock Show Association to erect all necessary building and guarantee the financial end of the show upon the condition that guaranteed fund of $50,000 be placed in escrow in one of the banks to assure the Stock Yards Company that a stock show will be held in Denver every year for ten years. They do not want this sum pledged by Denver merchants, but by stockmen themselves, men who will take an interest in the show and exhibit every year. It is planned to raise the money, as outlined by President E. M. Ammons of the Western Live Stock Show Association, by issuing life memberships in the association for $100 each, the money to be returned with interest at the end of ten years. This money will not be used in construction of the buildings. Representatives of other states and the various breeder associations made speeches in which they united in saying that nothing in the history of the country had ever paralleled the marvelous growth of the Denver show, which they place next to the International at Chicago. The crowds at the stock yards have become so large that half the spectators cannot gain entrance to the stadium. The afternoon show Wednesday was repeated in the show yards in order to accommodate all, and two shows will be given every afternoon for the rest of the week in order to give everybody a chance to see the great blooded stock exhibit in action. Directors of the Western Live Stock Show Association were elected last night as follows: John Painter, Rogan, Wyoming; C. O. Culver, Fort Collins; T. S. Harper, Colorado Springs; William Reynolds, Lusk, Wyoming; J. P. Adams, E. M. Mammons, George W. Ballantine, George Bernard, Colorado Springs; Colonel W. E. Skinner, A. J. Campion, C. K. Boettcher, Henry Gebhardt, John Grattan, Ora Haley, Wyoming; F. J. Hagenbarth, Idaho; James D. Husted, L. A. Johnson, Fred P. Johnson, Gordon Jones, Jarred L. Brush, Murdo Mackenzie, Trinidad; H. W. Moore, Harry Petrie, A. E. deRicques, J. M. Kuykendall, Thomas Mostyn, Ouray; A. G. Cornforth, Elbert, Colorado; L. F. Twitehell, C. E. Stubbs, John F. Vallery, B. O. Cowan assistant secretary of the Short Horn Breeders' Association of America; Charles Gray, secretary of the Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' of America, and Robert Brown, secretary of the Galloway Breeders. The last four represent the four great national breeders' associations of the country. Stockmen Elect Officers. Denver.—With the election of H. A. Jastro of Bakersfield, California, as president, and the selection of Los Angeles as the next meeting place as the principal features of the session, the American National Live Stock Association closed its fourth annual convention at the Broadway theater Thursday morning. The speakers who talked in behalf of Los Angeles impressed upon the gathering that the new location was chosen to stimulate interest in the work of the association on the Pacific coast, and was in nowise a retaliation on Denver for the action of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' Association in opposing the association in its support of President Roosevelt's grazing policy. Probably the convention will be held in Denver the following year. Other officers chosen were: First vice president, Murdo Mackenzie, Trinidad, Colorado; second vice president, M. K. Parsons, Salt Lake City, Utah. President Jastro then named his executive committee as follows: Dwight B. Heard, E. S. Gosney, J. J. Riggs, Arizona, J. V. Vickers, Ben F. Rush, E. T. Howard, California; John W. Springer, J. A. Lockhart, Merle D. Vincent, C. B. Rhodes, Colorado; Fred W. Gooding, Idaho; R. M. Bressie, Oklahoma; H. C. Wallace, A. Sykes, Iowa; W. A. Harris, T. M. Potter, W. J. Todd, Kansas; H. S. Boise, J. M. Coburn, Missouri; Capt. J. T. Brown, J. M. Boardman, P. J. Shannon, David Fratt, Montana; E. E. Lowe, C. M. Myers, Robert Taylor, Nebraska; C. M. O'Donnell, Charles Schlater, C. W. Merchant, W. H. Jack, New Mexico; W. G. Comstock, Nebraska; William Hanley, Oregon; F. M. Stewart, A. E. de Ricqles, South Dakota; S. B. Burnett, I. T. Pryor, Richard Walsh, J. H. Pramore, H. E. Crowley, Texas; M. K. Parsons, Utah; J. M. Cunningham, A. J. Splawn, Washington; Ora Haley, A. R. Reader, Luke Vorhees, J. M. Carey, Wyoming. This committee met at the Brown Palace hotel in the afternoon and reappointed T. W. Tomlinson of Denver, secretary; William E. Hughes of Denver, treasurer, and S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas, attorney. Congressman Cook's Protest. Denver—Congressman George W. Cook evidently has no intention of letting his protest against the President's policy in land fraud cases rest with his recent letter upon that subject. In a communication to the Denver Chamber of Commerce he states that he has sent copies of his now-famous epistle to every senator and representative of Congress, to the President, the vice president, the speaker, the justice of the Supreme Court, members of the Cabinet, heads of all governmental bureaus and to 254 representatives in Washington of papers throughout the entire country. To this he adds: "By misrepresentations by the administration I have been forced on the "firing line," where I shall remain so long as these malicious attacks on innocent men in my state shall continue." LEASING PLAN IS INDORSED LIVE STOCK CONVENTION FAVORS FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE RANGE. VERY LARGE MAJORITY COMMITTEE FAVORS BURKETT BILL WHICH PROVIDES MUCH LOCAL CONTROL. Denver.—By a majority that was a surprise to every officer and delegate present, the American National Live Stock Association Wednesday went on record in favor of government control and regulation of the public range, land leasing, etc. The vote on the majority resolution offered by the committee on resolutions, stood $386\frac{1}{2}$ for and only $32\frac{1}{2}$ against. The most earnest advocates of the policies of President Roosevelt with reference to range control were surprised at the extent of the endorsement. Following is in part the report of the committee on resolutions, as adopted: "Your committee begs to call attention of the members of this association to the objects of this (the Burkett) bill, and while doing so, your committee desires to say that it is not wedded to specific language, but reports the bill in the language in which it is printed with the amendments we have suggested as embodying the principles that we believe in and giving to them correct expression. The objects of the bill comprehensively stated are: "First—To place the public lands of the United States suitable for grazing under the control of the secretary of agriculture for the purpose of protecting, maintaining and perpetuating such grazing lands to the end of securing the greatest beneficial use therefrom. "Second—The law cannot possibly be administered without investing the secretary of agriculture with a reasonable discretion in matters of details, but this bill limits that discretion so far as practicable and vests the large portion of the management in the people actually using the lands. "The maximum grazing fee is fixed at four cents per acre, and the minimum at one-half cent per acre; but the fact that the maximum of four cents is named should not be taken as any indication that four cents would be charged, except in those few localities where that would be entirely within the reasonable limit. This maximum and minimum fee is inserted as a limitation upon what may be charged, and yet it will be observed that the bill provides that the fees for grazing shall be based upon the value of the land in each locality. "Third—The second section of the bill we consider to be the, most important because it contains the fundamental idea of local control of all those matters wherein the people themselves best know what should be done and it is accordingly provided that users of the land may select a committee of four, who, with the officer appointed by the Agricultural Department, constitute an executive board, which, as you will observe, has charge of practically all matters of local concern or that could be appropriately referred to it. It would scarcely be possible to give to a local board more power that does this section. "Your committee believes that it is desirable to secure the largest amount of local control, which can be secured without the destruction of ultimate responsibility of the Agricultural Department charged with administering the law, and therefore, it is provided in this section that if differences shall exist between a majority of the board and the officer in charge, the same shall be referred to the secretary of agriculture, to be adjusted by him, and the important provision is inserted that any interested party shall have the right to appeal from a decision of the board. "We think, therefore, that the rights of every person are as fully protected as would be possible under the system which this bill proposes; and that without favoritism as between the owners of different sorts of livestock. "Fourth—The bill is framed on the theory and expressly provides that it shall in no wise interfere with the acquisition of the title to the public lands of the United States under any of the laws by which they may now be acquired. "All of the laws pertaining to water rights are by the express provisions of the bill safeguarded, according to the various laws of the states or territories. "The executive committee proposes to amend the bill so that all net moneys will be paid to the states for the counties for the benefit of public schools and roads, which meets with our hearty approval. "Fifth—It will protect the range from overstocking and tend to greater harmony. "Above all, from the standpoint of public good, it will encourage the establishment of homes upon the public lands because when the land is fenced, as the bill provides, a permanent habitation may be safely established with the assurance of the party who takes up a homestead, that he will get beneficial use of it and sufficient preferences to maintain his family." Second Desert Land Entries. Washington.—Senator Guggenheim has introduced a bill to permit second entries under the desert land act. It provides that persons who have lost or forfeited desert entries through no fault of their own shall be entitled to the benefit of the desert land laws as though they had not made original entry, provided such original entry was not abandoned, or sold for a valuable consideration.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Frank If Not Complimentary. Frank If Not Complimentary. Her brother, aged 17, had been made captain of a high school football team and consequently had become suddenly popular with the girls in the neighborhood. Because of this the manager of a skating rink presented brother with a season pass. Sister, who had attained the tremendous age of 20, was truly flattered when brother asked her, rather than some of the younger belles of his acquaintance, to share the privileges of that skating rink pass. But brother's explanation removed all danger of the immediate growth of sister's vanity. "You see," he told her with frank simplicity, "I'm not used to skating with girls. I'll practice on you for a month or two, and then when I can do it real well I'll ask some of the other girls." ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body —Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura. "One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. I purchased a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. I did this every evening and in four nights he was entirely cured.

"Tell him about $6," drawled Hiram Hardapple. "Let me see, it was that poor village doctor, wasn't it?" "No. Hiram, it was a city feller." "Was, eh? Well, by heck, tell him she was a first-class critter and worth every cent of $50." "And, come to think about it, Hiram, his automobile was almost a long as a steamboat, with glass windows, six lights and a horn that you could hear five miles." "What? Then write and tell him the cow he killed was a genuine imported prize-winning Holstein and worth $500, and if he doesn't settle up every cent in cash I'll put the law on him." On the Contrary.

A prominent charity worker of New Yord said the other day about Miss Gladys Vanderbilt: "When this good and charming girl goes to Hungary as the Countess Sze- chenyi, I know of a certain hospital wards where she will be missed." "But let me tell you," he said, "of an incident that befall Miss Vanderbilt last year. There was a children's hospital which she visited regularly, bringing fruit and flowers to the little patients, and in a certain ward a boy was pointed out to her one day as a very bad customer. "Oh, he is incorrigible," sighed the nurse. "Miss Vanderbilt talked a while with the little chap and when she rose to go she said: "See here, I have heard bad reports about you. Now, I want you to promise me to be good. If you are good for a whole week, I will give you $1 when I come again next Thursday." "The boy promised to try to be good. This promise, though, he did not keep. On her next visit Miss Vanderbilt, going to his cot, said: "I shall not ask the nurse how you have behaved this last week. I want you to tell me yourself. Now, what do you think—do you deserve that dollar I promised you, or not?" "The boy regarded Miss Vanderbilt with a troubled frown. Then he said 'Cinema a nickel.'" Gimme a nickel.

We guarantee Satisfaction RESCUED FROM LIVING TOMB THREE NEVADA MINER9 ARE BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE UNHARMED. AFTER FORTY-SIX DAYS WERE IMPRISONED MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND FEET UNDER GROUND Ely, Nev.—After having been entombed forty-six days in the Alpha shaft of the Giroux mine, A. D. Bailey, P. J. Brown and Fred McDonald have been rescued. At 8:30 Saturday night Bailey was brought out. Fourteen minutes later McDonald came to the surface, while ten minutes afterward Brown was brought up. Whistles all over the district blew loudly, while crowds cheered in the streets of Ely, while every bell in the town was ringing. About 8 o'clock the fact that an entry to the surface of the debris in the main way had been effected was telephoned to the men anxiously waiting on top. The entombed men had been working several hours in digging their way to freedom from the 1,000-foot level, the rescuers at the same time doing all in their power to remove the earth that was blocking the mouth of the 1,000-foot tunnel. To the anxious crowd waiting around the shaft mouth the bell signalled "One, two, three, hoist away," and upon realization of this fact, a loud cheer burst from the throng. Suddenly the bucket rose to the surface. In it was one of the rescue party supporting Bailey. His first coherent question as he was being half led, half carried to the shaft house was about his wife. Mrs. Bailey was not present, one of her children being ill, and she preferred to meet her husband at their home, where no throng of curious people would be watching. Bailey soon declared himself sufficiently rested to make the trip, where he went soon afterward, supported on either side by a friend. Another shout of joy echoed when Fred McDonald was brought out and given to the care of those anxiously waiting, a brother and several friends. Peter Brown received as great an ovation from the crowd as either of the others. On the morning of December 4th, McDonald, Brown and Bailey and two Greeks were working in the bottom of the three compartment shaft, eighty-five feet below the pump station and 1,085 feet below the surface. The cave-in occurred at 9 o'clock. The cable used to haul the cage from the third compartment of the shaft snapped and thousands of tons of rocks, debris and timbers fell down into the shaft. From the bottom of the compartment in which the men were working to the pumping station, a distance of eighty five feet, a series of rickety ladders offered the only means of escape. With falling rocks and timbers streaming down upon them, the five men struggled up these ladders. Half way up falling timbers knocked the two Greeks from the ladder, killing them. Bailey, McDonald and Brown managed to reach the pump station. Its well timbered room withstood the rock and timber that came down the shaft, and offered them shelter and safety. Here for the first day after the cave-in the men crouched, while at intervals they could hear the rocks and timbers crashing above them. At first it was thought that all the men had perished, but twenty-four hours after the cave-in the three men who occupied the pumping station magaged to make themselves heard by tapping upon the six-inch water pipe that stretched from the pumping station to the surface. It was this pipe that was the means of saving the lives of the men. When communication was once established with the world above and the men made known the fact that they were still alive, food and water were lowered through the pipe. A large supply was sent down, as it was thought possible that the pipe communication might be cut off before the rescue party could reach the imprisoned men, but throughout their long weeks of imprisonment this pipe has been in daily use. A portable telephone was lowered and the men were able to talk with the people above. This telephone has been in almost constant use, friends sending them by its means the news of the outside world and messages of cheer. The work of rescue was most perilous and the men who were engaged in it, the pick of the best miners and timber men in the camp, worked in two-hour shifts. There was constant danger that the loose mass through which they were working would give way and each man worked with a rope about his waist, so that if suddenly deprived of footing they would not fall, but could reach the cage and be drawn up. Stoessel Appeals to the Czar. St. Petersburg—Lleut. Gen. Stoessel sent a protest direct to Emperor Nicholas against the exclusion of witnesses for the defense and other alleged discriminations by the courtmartial which is trying to him on the charge of having surrendered Port Arthur to the Japanese before the resources of the fortress were exhausted. As a result of this action Gen. Stroukoff, Emperor Nicholas' personal alde, at the next session of the courtmartial took a seat upon the bench in court for the purpose of furnishing a report direct to the Emperor. It was noticeable that the judges showed the defenses greater consideration. LIVE STOCK PROBLEMS. Polley of Railroads Condemned by President MacKenzie. Denver.-Retiring President Murdo MacKenzie, in his annual address at the opening session of the American National Livestock Association Tuesday, discussed in an able manner the problems at present confronting livestock men. His address was in part as follows: "Last year I referred to the amendment of the law commonly known as the twenty-eight-hour law. The old law prescribed that no stock, while in transit on any railroad, could be held on the cars for a longer time than twenty-eight hours without being unloaded for feed, water and rest. The enforcement of that law was the cause of great loss and damage to stockmen generally, because in many cases railroads frequently failed to make the market within the time limit, and consequently stock had to be unloaded within eighty to a hundred miles from market and held for a period of from ten to twelve hours in order to comply with the law. We took the matter up with the railroad officials, and they promised that if a law was passed extending the time limit to thirty-six, instead of twenty-eight hours, they would do everything in their power to carry stock to the market in the thirty-six hours, and not use the extra time of eight hours for the purpose of giving them more time between feeding points. "Instead, however, of the railroads keeping good faith with us they did the very opposite, and, instead of using the extra time allowed them by the law, as amended; to hurry the stock to market, it is taken up by them in running between feeding points, and, in fact, the extra time is being used for the sole benefit of the railroads and to the loss of the stockmen. "On June 30, 1894, the railroads entering Chicago imposed what they called a terminal charge of $2 per car upon every car shipped to the Chicago market. The stockmen of the country felt that this was an unjust charge and protested vigorously. "In 1898 the case was decided in favor of the stockmen, the commission holding that to the extent of $1 per car the terminal charge was unreasonable. Suit was then brought by the commission to enforce its order and the commission's attorney prepared and tried the case in the federal court; by a divided bench the United States Court of Appeals failed to sustain the opinion of the interstate commission, and the case was then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court, after nearly two years, held that the commission was justified in finding as it did, except on shipments from Texas and Oklahoma points, from which, in October, 1896, the through rates were reduced; while the court refused to enforce the order it, however, expressly stated that the commission might correct the rate as to shipments from other points where a reduction of rates had not been made. "If, at the time our complaint was first filed, the powers vested in the Interstate Commerce Commission had been the same as they now are, the decision rendered by it in 1898 would have been respected and justice could not have been postponed for ten long years. You can readily figure the amount of money which would have been saved for the stockmen. Take the average number of cars of live stock entering Chicago each year at 250,000, the saving of $1 per car on this number would aggregate $3,000,000. If the different associations accomplished nothing else, this alone would hand-somely remunerate them for all the money they have spent. "There is another matter of the first importance on which you should take action. For the past few years you have all been aware of the loss to stockmen by the failure of the railroads to supply cars for the shipment of stock. For the past five or six years the complaints in this respect have been increasing each year, until last year they reached a climax. "Congress can settle the whole question, and if the necessary powers are granted the Interstate Commerce Commission, then the railroads can be compelled to supply cars for interstate shipments upon reasonable request. I think this is one of the most important things we have facing us today, and I urge upon you to take such steps at this convention as will bring the matter properly before Congress, and demand that it be corrected. "A bill providing for governmental control of the unoccupied public domain was introduced in Congress in the spring of 1907, but it failed to pass. This year again another bill has been introduced and will shortly come up before Congress for consideration. If the members of this association are still of the mind that the administration should be indorsed in this matter, a resolution similar to that of last year should be passed, and your officers and executive committee instructed to take such steps as may seem best to them to have your side of the case properly presented before the committee of both the House and the Senate. "I am pleased to state that the trouble we have been experiencing during the past few years from the scourge of mange among the live stock of the West has practically disappeared. It is a rare occurrence now to find any range where mange exists, but I would strongly impress upon the stockmen the necessity of continued vigilance so that this menace to the stock business is kept down." Crowds at Stock Show. Denver.—The stock show of 1908 has made a big hit with the people of Denver and with the thousands of visitors from all parts of the state who are in the city. Every car bound for the stock yards Tuesday was loaded to the guards. When the gates were closed for the day it was found that the turnstiles had registered over 10,000 people and half as many more probably attended the free exhibitions of feeder and sale stock which are quartered in the yards proper. Tuesday afternoon was Shorthorn sale day, and fifty-five head of pure bred cattle were sold. The average price brought was $150. JOHN H. HARRIS LAWRENCE STEPHEN THIRST THIRST PARLOR J. L.

THE COLORED "leader" who is unable to "deliver the goods," and whose leadership arises out of the trust of some white man with whom he has come in contact in some servile capacity, does not appear to be just the thing that Colorado colored voters are looking for, judging from the expressions of newspapers about the state. Will the politicians continue to lump the colored population under the head of the "servants of the Republican party?" THE UNWRITTEN LAW. THE STATEMENT of a prominent Colorado jurist in a recent lecture before a class of law students, to the effect that there is no such thing recognized in jurisprudence as "the unwritten law," and that such a plea can form no legal or just excuse for murder, is undoubtedly correct, in a legal sense, but the many recent successful resorts to that plea in a certain line of homicidal circumstances, suggests that the claim of the jurist is not practical in every detail. Criminal laws, like all other human laws, are not always perfect or sufficient to cover all manner of circumstances which arise out of violence or other acts commonly accepted as misdeeds against the person or property or the general social order. Civil laws do not always provide a remedy for wrongs against personal rights. In the latter case, however, there seems to be ways to overcome the insufficiency of the law, by what are called equity proceedings. But when a crime is provoked or brought about by such monstrous personal wrongs that no human law could possibly right them, there are no equity provisions to which the person committing the crime can resort; hence his only hope for justification and freedom lies in an appeal to sentiment, and lawyers impress that appeal with such force upon juries and courts as to show the special injustice of the strict letter of the law, and in that manner, for those special cases, they practically annul and overcome the law. And there are some cases where the strict application of the criminal law would seem hard and unjust, even when the person on trial is confessedly guilty of murder. One character of case in particular in this line is that in which an otherwise good woman finds herself practically abandoned and disgraced by a man who has kept and held her in illicit relations through the best years of her life, or who has otherwise compromised her so that her future life offers her no reasonable hope for the regaining of her honor or contentment. In such cases she is the sole sufferer, and no law, civil or criminal, can give her restitution and contentment, while the man may turn his back and go on his undisturbed and perhaps happier way. Such a case is that of Beatrice Gordon, who killed W. O. Shirey of the sheriff's office, at his home in Denver two weeks ago. Whether she shot him accidentally while intending to kill herself, or intentionally, for his perfidy and abandonment of her she is in nearly the same position which Mrs. Bradley occupied after killing Senator Brown of Utah, of which crime she was acquitted. The unwritten law, therefore, although without pale of legal recognition, sometimes becomes, through human sympathy, the equity of criminal jurisprudence. THE WORLD'S RACE PROBLEM RACIAL and color questions seem to be increasing in importance as the years go by, notwithstanding the apparent desire of the world's thought makers to drive such differences into the background. The long-nursed desire of the white man to make the authority of his power world-wide has been checked more in recent years than in a thousand years previous, and this cheek, given so emphatically to the Russians by the Japanese, has begun to assume an importance not given to it at the time the blow was being inflicted. Many white enthusiasts who cheered the Japanese for their brilliant military and naval achievements, are now beginning to realize that those successes established a cheek to the dream of political and commercial domination which has inspired the white man through so many centuries. It was not dreamed, at the time of the war, that the yellow man would acquire this lust for expansion and power and a wider market, although a certain social instinct did find expression in vague warnings of a "yellow peril." But now that the Japanese are seeking not to dominate, but to compete in commercial markets, and to expand in political influence, in a manner to possibly endanger future white domination, the relations of the races are inclined to take on an entirely different aspect. The main territories of the United States and Great Britain provide the best avenues for trade and labor successes, under present conditions, of all the developed countries, and to these territories the crafty and close-living Japanese have presumed to go, as white men before them have gone to all parts of the world. But to the white man's way of thinking, this makes the brotherhood of man a little too practical, hence more stringent exclusion acts and treaties are the subjects of immediate legislation or negotiation. The agitation awakens anew the sense of race difference and increases that prejudice against other peoples which have characterized the Caucasian race throughout its long domination of world affairs. American and English statesmen and journalists are assuring their respective countries that these conditions will be accepted by the Japanese and that a friendly co-operation on the basis of a one-sided exclusion policy will be diplomatically arranged between the nations. In such an arrangement white men are depending upon the weakest thing on which nations can rely, and are taking their first step backwards. The mere presumption of inert racial superiority may continue to inspire the white man, while the world continues its search for moral uplift and social unity, but the modernized Japanese are now too far advanced to actually and finally concur in an unnatural ban upon their world-privilège as well as a restraint upon their national and racial dignity. They have shown their ability to bide their time, and while their energies for years to come may be directed westward, instead of reaching toward this side of the Pacific their activities and their sentiments will go with them into fields from whence white men now draw great volumes of wealth. That course of national and racial development which expresses itself in commercial expansion and political conquest abroad and fortifies itself with exclusion armor at home, will not be the course by which any other people on earth than the white people will advance, or upon which any other people than the white people will serenely rest. But the new way will be the wisest and the best. The Great Obligation of the Rich to the Poor By R. T. CRANE, Millionaire Iron Master. T is preeminently the duty of every rich man and every rich woman in this country to expend their surplus wealth largely in improving conditions under which the poor and unfortunate, the degraded and the criminal classes live. I Enlightened self-interest would point to this course, even where charity failed to do so. For if the poor are left in neglect, if the criminals are allowed to thrive, there is growing up from below a force that eventually will bring the selfish and the thoughtless rich to their senses with a round turn. Not only is it their duty to give to the poor and to help them, but it is equally their duty to do these things with discretion and foresight. This is an age of great disparity between the rich and the poor; it is a time of much discontent among the latter—discontent that is undoubtedly justifiable, as they have not received their rightful share of the prosperity of the country. Consequently when the time comes for dispersing large fortunes the bulk of them should go to the poor. Instead of this we are hearing continually of large sums of money being given for purposes that can be of little interest or if little benefit to the poor, and which mainly serve to gratify the vanity of the rich and the selfishness of the well-to-do. There is the class of rich folks who, while knowing their responsibility and admitting their willingness to do their duty, do not appear to have a very correct idea of how their work of relief (or shall we say restitution?) should be carried on. They first yield to one who advocates the education of the public in the ideals of "higher music." Next they give liberally to the advocate of "Art" as a benefactor for the masses. Then, they are solicited by the champion of "higher education." And finally they give freely to the cause of saving the "heathen." These people who do not allow common sense to tell them the best thing to do with their surplus wealth, are much taken with the pictures painted by "the city beautiful" enthusiasts. They see charms in street statuary, artistic bridges, extensive boulevards; but overlook the necessity for clean and comfortable homes in the tenement district, clean and well-paved streets, clean back yards and alleys where the poorer classes live. Sober Employes Only Are Wanted By PAUL LEAKE. Sober Employees Only Are Wanted By PAUL LEAKE. While the religiously inclined point to the great moral regeneration promised by the onward sweep of prohibition in the United States, and the lovers of law and order are glad to see its manifestations, there is a phase of the question that has apparently not been touched upon. It is the business side of it. Modern business with its immense responsibilities; up-to-date industrialism with its labor-saving machinery and attendant danger to human life; the whirlwind time made by our passenger trains and fast freights; the space annihilation made possible by the introduction of the turbine engines in the ocean-going palaces, all call for a high order of men. It has become necessary in this day of keen competition to have men with clear heads to transact business. The time has come when it is recognized that if a man's brain is befuddled with liquor in business hours, his rival will take advantage of the occasion to gain ground. It has therefore become imperative for business generals to be sober and alert. They now demand the same qualities in their men. So it is with the railroads. They realize their responsibility. No engineer under the influence of liquor or even with the odor of it on his breath is allowed to take an engine out of the round house. When an engineer does back down to his passenger train, if he finds his crew is not absolutely sober he will refuse to pull the throttle an inch, and he is upheld in it by the railroad. They want no suit for damages, nor do they wish the reputation for allowing the lives of passengers to be endangered or sacrificed. This is also the case with the motormen and conductors on the street railway lines and interurban systems. In these days of rapid transit the men handling the controllers have to have cool heads and steady nerves. It is the same with telegraph operators, either in the service of the railroads or in commercial message business. The list could be indefinitely lengthened, but these illustrations suffice. The day has gone by when intoxication in the office, factory, mill, railroad, steamboat, street car line or any other avenue of business life, will be tolerated. This was not alone because liquor drinking led to immorality and crime; it was cold-blooded business, the saving of dollars and cents to the business world. That it made toward a better citizenship and happier homes was a cheering result, but the fundamental cause of the change was pure business. The Cause of Crime Waves By EDMUND P. CREECY, Chief St. Louis Police Department. The only way to account for crime waves is to figure up conditions. There is a specific cause for every crime. A man who kills is not always a murderer. It is my belief that, despite all figures, there are fewer murderers of the black- hearted stripe than there ever were. Increasing population naturally brings about increasing crime. But the man who kills is sometimes the victim of an accident, at other times the victim of passions aroused by entirely alien causes; and again he might have slain his fellow-man in the act of self-defense. We should not hold up our hands in horror, because as long as there are people and as long as there are divergencies of opinions, and as long as there are conditions and circumstances that cannot be foreseen or forestalled, there is bound to be cause for crime. There is not proportionately as much crime in St. Louis as there is in New York because New York is a seaport city, more cosmopolitan, and hence there is a greater variety of causes for trouble. Lesser crimes are on the decrease in proportion. There are more arrests, and it appears that there might be more crime, but it is really the law tightening upon the people as the result of reform crusades, etc. We must have laws, but even their rigid enforcement does not overweave the work of conditions.

H. J. Foster arrived home last Tuesday from a week's visit in Hill City Kansas. It was a week of one of these "best times," so he reports, and judging from an interview we had with him, it must be a fact. By invitation, he also visited the Masonic Lodge at Nicodemus, Kansas, where he was shown a royal time by the square and compas boys. Many are aware of the fact that H. J. is one of Denver's best marksmen and quite fond of hunting and as a result of his accuracy with a shot gun, he brought home enough jack rabbits and cotton tails to supply a Denver commission market. Many of his friends are under obligations to him for one of the four-legged "dyers." He reports the colored people doing exceedingly well with plenty of corn in the crib, wheat in the bin, potatoes in the cellar and meat in the smoke house. "Nuf said." CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. The Rt.

Jackson, Miss., Jan. 10.—"To give the Negro the suffrage right and place him on the white man's equality was the age's capital crime against white man's civilization." This was Gov. Vardaman's recommendation to the Mississippi legislature today to memorialize congress to call a constitutional convention to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. He adds: "You can't adjust laws suited to the white man's government to this low browed, veneered savage. It is worse than crime to attempt it.

He once had a horse which showed a rooted aversion to covering more than three miles an hour. A customer who liked the appearance of the animal had about concluded to purchase, and asked if he was a good traveler. The "deacon," assuming a confidential tone, said: "Mr. Jones, you'll certainly be pleased to see that horse go." The bargain was made and the new owner drove away. The next morning bright and early he appeared on the scene in a great rage. "See her," he bried, addressing the "deacon." "I thought you told me this horse was a great traveler?" "Never said nuthin' of the kind," was the quiet reply. "What in thunderation did you say, then?" "I said you'd certainly be pleased to see that horse go, and so would any one else, I guess, that owned him." Sent Out by Express. A few years ago a banquet was given the delegates to the convention which had that day nominated Hon. Otis M. Gove, of Waltham, Mass., for the state senate. Several of the delegation had spoken in very flattering terms of the nominee, of his native city and its famous watch industries, whose products were so well known everywhere. The last speaker, ex-Mayor Baxter, of Medford, began by saying: 'Gentlemen, we have listened to the glowing accounts of the industries of Waltham, whose products are so well known everywhere. But don't forget that Medford also has industries of her own, the products of which I venture to say are as well known to the good people of Waltham as those of her own beloved city." The Number of Our Hairs. According to a well-known medical authority fair-haired people possess commonly between 140,000 and 150,000 hairs on the scalp, the number being about the same for man and woman. Dark haired people have, on an average, about 105,000, while red haired people are said to have only 30,000. But the last apparently possesses one great advantage in the fact that they retain their hair better, seldom becoming bald. Their hair is much coarser than that of dark or fair haired pertons. A Word of Advice. Biddlecomb was holding his eldest son in earnest converse. "My boy," he said, "I am filled with anxiety when I think that you will soon make choice of a wife." "I have not done so yet, father," the young man replied. "What sort of wife would you suggest?" The older man looked around cautiously. "My son," he said, "if your father's advice is worth anything to you, let me urge you to seek for a woman who hasn't the independence, the positiveness, the general characteristics of your mother." He was interrupted at that moment by a light footfall and realized that his beloved helpmeet had entered the room. "No, my son," he continued, "do not hope to find another woman like your mother. Such paragons are rarely, if ever, duplicated."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Law of Sale A specialist who has made a study of the mental attitude of the consumer toward the advertisers formulates what he calls the "law of sale" as follows: "Attention, properly sustained, changes to interest; interest, properly augmented, changes to desire, and desire, properly intensified, changes to resolve to buy." Often the reader passes through all these mental stages in the perusal of a single advertisement; sometimes the cumulative power of a series of ads" is necessary to bring him to the final attitude. In either case the best means of attracting attention, arousing interest and intensifying desire is the first-class newspaper which covers a field no other medium can reach—Philadelphia Record.

PREFERS HUMAN FLESH BEGAN HIS CAREER OF SLAUGH- TER IN ITALY BEFORE COM- ING TO COLORADO. Denver.—A Republican special from Florence, Colorado, Tuesday night says: A confession of crimes committed and murders planned which far surpasses in fiendishness the gory recital of Harry Orchard in the Steunenberg case, was that of Antone Neroni, or Bovori, as he was known here. The confession was obtained by Detectie Sandesko of Pueblo, and has been briefly summarized before but was given in full today in an interview by the detective. It shows that the thirst for blood engendered by his first murder, committed when he was twelve years old, grew so strong in Neroni that he claims to prefer human flesh to any other and that he planned to kill two children here, boil their bodies and drink the broth. Detective Frank Sandesko of Pueblo, who got a full confession from Bovori in the county jail and who secured the promise from the prisoner of being shown the burial places of the three corpses, says he has met hundreds of criminals during his secret service work, but does not remember having before met a criminal who is so absolutely devoid of feeling as is Bovori, and asserts that he is a degenerate and brute of the worst type. In addition to a confession of the four Florence murders, Bovori confessed to Sandesko to having killed one man in Italy, stabbed three others, planned to kill an entire family in Walsenburg, and that he was preparing to slay Mrs. Joseph Minichielo and two little daughters the night of the day he was arrested. He also said that if Mrs. Minichiello had not suspected him of murdering her husband the previous night, she would have fallen into the trap set by himself the morning after the disappearance of her husband and would have been killed. According to Bovori's own statements to the detective, Mrs. Minichiello started for Florence at an early hour to inform the officers of her suspicions and fears and Bovori, who was in the yard, inquired where she was going. She answered that she was on her way to Florence, when Bovori said he was going to town in a few minutes and if she would go into the house and wait awhile, he would hitch up and drive her to town. She refused, and this saved her life, for Bovori told the detective that if he had succeeded in getting her into his house he would have killed her with the same axe he used in destroying the lives of his other victims. His plot failed and then he determined to break into the Minichiello house that night and kill the woman and her children. The woman was to have been buried, but the children, Bovori said, were to have been boiled, and he intended drinking the broth. He admitted having a craving for human blood and preferred eating human flesh to other meat. With the assassination of the trio and the Minichiello family, Bovori would have claimed seven victims in Florence and that the last three are now alive is due only to his arrest two hours before sundown. If he had succeeded in killing the woman and children, he was to have fled to Italy that night. Sandesko was employed by the county to work up the case and was placed in the cell with Bovori. He was handcuffed and shackled. Sheriff Esser informed Bovori that Sandesko was a murderer wanted in Omaha and since he was also an Italian, they could keep each other company. Sandesko told Bovori that he was a member of the Black Hand and showed a clipping from a newspaper detailing recent bloody work of the Black Hand in Pittsburgh. Among other names in the dispatch was that of Peter Angelo. The story was a blood curdling one and Bovori listened to it with unabated interest. Sandesko said that he was Peter Angelo, the person spoken of in the dispatch, and produced a letter bearing the same name. After being told that Angelo had just come here from Omaha, where he murdered his thirteenth man, Bovori swallowed the bait and after being sworn to membership and faithfulness to the secrets of the order, he gave the details of his many crimes. Gambling Devices Seized. Cripple Creek.—By order of District Judge Sheafer the gambling devices seized by Sheriff Von Phil in the Chicago house last week must be destroyed by fire within twenty-four hours and a bonfire will be kindled toorrow morning in front of the court house for the purpose. Examination of one of the roulette wheels in the sheriff's office showed that the wheel was fitted with two small electric batteries by which a steel wire could be forced into the grooves into which the ball rolled, stopping it at any place desired. J. H. S. Campbell, who swore to the ownership of gambling devices, when a writ of replevin was issued therefor, secured a stay of prosecution pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. OUR BATTLECHIP FLEET. Grand Scene When It Leaves Brazil for the Pacific. Rio Janeiro.—To the booming of guns and the cheers of thousands on the accompanying pleasure craft, the American warships sailed from Rio Janeiro Wednesday afternoon bound for Punta Arenas, on Magellan Straits. Ten days will bring the fleet almost midway on its 14,000-mile cruise to San Francisco, and the ships and the men carried with them the Godspeed and good wishes of the whole Brazilian nation. Not an untoward incident had marked the visit of the Americans here. They were feasted and feted, both officers and men, during their sojourn in Rio, and half the population turned out from early in the morning to give them a fitting farewell. As upon the arrival of the fleet, so upon its departure, the quays and the hills were crowded with thousands watching the warships until they had disappeared through the mouth of the bay into the open sea. The president of the republic, Dr Penna, came to Rio Janeiro from Petropolis about 11 o'clock and went on the yacht Silva down to where the warships were lying. He went aboard the cruiser Benjamin Constant, which was in readiness to accompany the American fleet, and made a tour of all the American ships. Accompanied by Admiral Alencar, minister of the marine, Dr. L. Muller, minister of public works, and other high officials, he visited the divisional flagship Minnesota, remaining there about an hour. Admiral Thomas, commander of the flagship, Captain Hubbard, and the American ambassador, Irving B. Dudley, received him with all honors and the band played the Brazilian national anthem. In the saloon of the Minnesota there was a mutual exchange of greetings. Admiral Thomas made a little speech in which he presented his best wishes for the prosperity of Brazil and her president, concluding with, "Brazil, God bless you forevermore." The president responded with a thousand wishes for a good voyage for the splendid fleet, prosperity for the United States and the health of President Roosevelt. While the president was aboard the Minnesota and during his trip among the vessels salutes were exchanged, and on his departure from the flagship twenty-one guns were fired. Dr. Penna then returned to his yacht, which went to a point off Fort Villageon to watch the departure of the ships. About 3 o'clock the American fleet began to move, passing out in single column and in inverse order, according to divisions, the Alabama leading. The three divisions of the Brazilian navy followed, composed of three battleships, seven cruisers and six destroyers. In the vicinity of Fort Village steamers circled about, having on board thousands of spectators from shore. Hundreds of launches and small craft from the sporting clubs, all gaily decorated, forming a stirring spectacle. The great warships moved slowly at first, but as they disappeared from view they were steaming at a ten-knot pace. One by one as they passed the president's yacht they saluted with twenty-one guns and the forts replied in kind. There was much waving of small flags and handkerchiefs, and the cheering seemed incessant. The blowing of a hundred whistles in the steam craft added to the noise. Grange Officers Elected. Denver.—The session of the Colorado State Grange Wednesday morning was devoted to the election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Worthy Master—John Morris of Golden, master of Loch Lomond Grange No. 76.

Member of Executive Committee—F. J. Meeks, Denver. An early afternoon session of the Grange was given over to the installation of these newly-elected officers, followed by reports of committees. The members then adjourned for a visit in a body to the big show at the stock yards. The evening session was devoted to the exemplification of the fifth degree of the order to an unusually large list of candidates. Dairymen's Campaign. Denver.—With the organization of the Colorado State Dairymen's Association in Denver Monday night, a campaign was started which has for its object the increasing and fostering of the dairy industry in Colorado, making it a more popular industry with farmers. It is planned to inaugurate a state lecturing campaign, conducted by instructors in the State Agricultural College, with the ultimate purpose of forming local organizations to carry on the work. Another suggestion that will be carried out is the provision of suitable prizes at county fairs for the purpose of stimulating general interest. Dry Farming Congress. salt Lake.—With scores of delegates present and many others on the way, with a large attendance of visitors and with the good wishes of prominent men all over the land expressed in letters and telegrams, the Trans-Missouri Dry Farming Congress began its second annual meeting here Wednesday.

My wife was cured from a severe case of la grippe, and we feel that the least we can do is to gratefully acknowledge the merit of Peruna. "My wife joins me in sending best wishes for your success." Throat Trouble. Rev. H. W. Tate, 920 Lincoln Avenue, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: REV. GEORGE A.E.TROUTMAN. "For several years I have been troubled with a peculiar spasmodic affection of the throat. It would seize me suddenly and for a few minutes I would be unable to speak audibly, and my breath would be greatly interfered with. I would be obliged to gasp for breath. "I finally concluded that it was some catarral affection which probably excited the spasm. It interfered with my vocation as a preacher, attacking me occasionally in the pulp. "I had heard so much about Peruna as a catarrh remedy that I determined to try it. After taking two bottles, my trouble has disapp. I feel sure that Peruna has greatly benefited me." Rev. P. E. Swanstrom, Swedish Baptist Pastor, Box 228, Grantsburg, Wis., writes that from the use of Peruna he is perfectly well, entirely cured of chronic diarrhea and catarrh. Peruna in Tablet Form.

Disappointed Youngster Discriminated in His Prayer. For several weeks, little Ralph had enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was a friend of the family. But much to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day recently when the pony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Ever since his acquaintance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer, and "God bless the pony," was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached his pet's place in the prayer. Then, after a moment's thought, he continued: "Please, God, bless the pony just the same; but, God, don't you bless the little girl what's got the pony." 70 Mr. Woodson resolves that he will never again wear a high hat when snowballs are ripe. A Little Child's Impression. Lying at the base of Echo mountain, in California, in the San Gabriel valley, is the pretty city of Pasadena: At night, when the lights are glistening and sparkling, the effect from Echo mountain is beautiful. One evening, directly after dinner, a little girl who was remaining over night on the mountain, rushed breathlessly into the dining-room, exclaiming: "Oh, mamma, mamma, come out on the porch, all the stars have fallen on the ground!" Made Him Nervous "What in the world is the matter, Harold?" anxiously inquired the pretty girl. "Why, you seem too nervous to sit down a minute." "You'll have to pardon me," responded Harold Hatband, with an eye on the window, "but—er—I just saw your father prowling around with a bird gun." "Oh, nonsense! Why, father likes you. Didn't I hear him say that you were good enough to eat?" "H'm! That's just the reason why he might try to pepper me." BANISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go. The way some persons cling to coffee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee. "One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up. "Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish I asked for a taste. "That started me on Postum and I now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make it. "The next day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So I told her how to make it right and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is banished from both our homes." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Michigan. Read the little book "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. "There's a Reason." This woman says that sick women should not fail to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she did. Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence St., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I was practically an invalid for six years, on account of female troubles. I underwent an operation by the doctor's advice, but in a few months I was worse than before. A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it restored me to perfect health, such as I have not enjoyed in many years. Any woman suffering as I did with backache, bearing-down pains, and periodic pains, should not fail to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female illis, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration.

Explanation Satisfied Policeman That Punishment Was Due. Policeman Kneirem, of the Tenderloin precinct, saw an old man beating a small boy on Seventh avenue recently in a fashion that reminded the officer of the happy days when he used to beat it from the parental beating. So with a cheerful smile, having children of his own, the policeman approached the old man. "Listen," replied the man; "half an hour ago I sent Isaac to the delicatessen. I gave him two quarters, one with which to buy bread, the other to buy fish. And now he comes back and says he wants to know which quarter is for the fish and which for the bread. Is it enough?" "It is," replied Kneirem.—New York World. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. An Ancient Instance. Belshazzar was giving his great feast and the wine flowed like water. "Inasmuch as I'm the whole works," he said. "I don't think a proclamation by a chief of police or anybody else is going to stop this affair at one o'clock a. m. or any other hour!" No sooner had he uttered this boast than the handwriting appeared on the wall. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take it internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Core is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in the country for years, and is regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined the best blood, acting directly or the mucous membrane. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. Sold by Druggists, price 75c.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- FASHION WEEK The first costume pictured above is of striped tweed, in black and white, with black velvet collars and cuffs. The hat is of black felt trimmed with wings and velvet. The second costume is of pale-gray Venetian cloth. The coat is edged with black braid, and the waistcoat of white cloth is thickly braided with very narrow braiding and fastened with tiny silver buttons. SHORT CHAPTER ON DRESS This is the season of the party dress, and we offer below a suggestion in our illustration of one which for originality of design and for simple grace it would be hard to beat. It is made of white silk trimmed with silver sequins and fine white lace and insertion. A large bunch of pale pink roses at the waist and a pale pink ribbon in the hair give the touch of color necessary to complete the effect. Chifton is again in great favor for evening frocks, all the prettiest of them being made in this material. A charming effect in trimming is obtained with bands of velvet, cut on the cross. There is nothing, perhaps more fascinating in the feminine wardrobe than teagowns and the still more informal negligee worn in deshabilie. Created from almost every conceivable fabric, from rich brocades to chiffon and lace, in every color and known shade of color, trimmed with everything possible from fur to tulle, there is no end to the expression of individual taste in these robes worn in the privacy of one's own home, and therefore allowing more scope for personal preferences. In the recent trousseaus of the late autumn and early winter brides there have been some especially beautiful examples of these indoor garments. One in supple scarlet panne velvet trimmed with ermine, and another in emerald green edged with mink, and a third in white lace and turquoise blue satin with a touch of black caracul, are a bit unique, but nevertheless decidedly effective on chill days, when 1 A Pinafore Blouse. snow flies and the wind blows and the sight alone of fur suggests warmth and comfort. These robes may be of the simplest and comparatively inexpensive character, yet be as altogether charming as the most elaborate, indeed, the simpler the lines and the more flowing the better suited are they for the bride, while the matron may properly revel in velvets and supple brocades, with touches of fur or heavy embroideries. Some of those in filmy stuffs have their own linings or underslips, and so, too, have many of the heavier gowns; while others are mere shells, so to put it, to be worn over ornate silk or lingerie underrobes, the latter sometimes more elaborate than the outer robe itself. Teagowns, while handsome in the heavier satins and velvets, are more appropriately made in transparent materials; while lounging robes, in which one is seen by one's family and most intimate friends only, may be more simple in outline, although they may be of the heavier materials and distinctly rich and even heavy in appearance. One newly-wed woman has a sumptuous robe to be worn in the privacy of her family circle lined throughout with white caracul and covered outwardly by the softest and deepest of American Beauty colored velvets. It has a bordering outside band of caracul. This is for very cold days, and its owner says that it is a A Party Frock. dream of luxury and well suited to her country home, where she is spending much of her time. A direct contrast to this is a teagown made entirely of Valenciennes insertions and darned filet lace in white and cream, to be worn over a pale blue chiffon slip, this last to be in turn worn over an underslip of embroidered mauve satin. This is for use in town. The pinafore blouse is one of the most comfortable and convenient additions to the feminine wardrobe, as it is always ready to lend a special smartness and also a very welcome warmth to any of my lady's net or lace blouses and slips. And one can by repeating the color of the skirt in the pinafore give the fashionable effect of a complete costume. In our illustration we picture a pinafore blouse of specially pleasing design. It may be made very effectively of a good quality of velveteen, and with the pretty tucks and the strappings of taffeta to match in style it is a most stylish garment. Singutar Coincidence In connection with the death of Dr. Wilkinson, bishop of St. Andrews, a singular coincidence is established, says an English exchange. It is a remarkable fact that all the predecessors of Dr. Stubbs as bishops of Truro have died suddenly. The first occupant of the See, Dr. Benson, afterward archbishop of Canterbury, was taken ill while at service at Hawarden church, and died in a few minutes; Dr. Wilkinson was second bishop of Truro, and he died during a meeting at Edinburgh; and Dr. Gott, the third bishop, died suddenly while giving directions to his chaplain in his study at Trenython. He Saw Her. Little four-year-old Harold was playing in his yard, which was inclosed by a four-foot fence, when his mother called out: "Harold, have you seen the cow in the next lot?" He answered: "I only saw her hooks and eyes, mamma."—Harper's.

A curious custom is still in force at Norwich, England, in virtue of which, on three days in the year, anyone can claim a substantial meal for nothing. The only qualification is that the applicant shall repeat aloud in St Giles' church a prayer for the sovereign's health. Afterward they partake of a meal of broth, beef and bread, finished off with a liberal allowance of beer.

HYMNS OF 200 TONGUES. Origin of Many Sacred Songs Told by an English Authority. There are no less than 400,000 Christian hymns, according to Dr. Julian, the celebrated English authority on sacred music, and they have been written in 200 or more languages and dialects, says the Philadelphia Press. Most popular among these, he says, are: "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me;" "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing;" "Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun," and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Some interesting stories are connected with the origin of a number of the famous hymns. For instance, it is told that the English prelate, Bishop Blickersteth, wrote "Peace, Perfect Peace" at the deathbed of a relative, Archdeacon Hill of Liverpool, and that the latter read the verses and complimented them before he passed away. "Just As I Am," said Dr. Julian, was written by an invalid, Charlotte Ellott, while she was lying almost helpless upon a sofa. All her relatives had gone to an entertainment and as she suffered alone in her home she sighed that she might be taken away just as she was and the verses of the hymn which thousands now sing sprang into her mind. John Byrom, the author of "Christians, Awake," write that beautiful hymn as a Christmas offering for his daughter. He inscribed upon the manuscript, "Christmas Day for Dolly." "Rock of Ages," it is said, was written by Augustus Toplady while he lay sheltered from a storm under two gigantic limestone rock; but there is no proof upon which this can be based. Grateful Hen Chicken fanciers and agriculturists hereabouts are puzzled over a remarkable egg-laying hen living under the guardianship of Jacob Geier in Madison avenue. The hen strayed from her roost and wandered into Geier's back yard several weks ago. When Geier opened his kitchen door the hen flapped her wings, flew on the porch and in at the open door past Geier. "That chick must be durn hungry; I'll feed her up good and strong, b'gum," said Geier to his wife. He made good his word by preparing a ration of milk and bread, which the hen devoured ravenously. Cackling her thanks, she departed to the back yard. About an hour later the hen was discovered sitting comfortably on a settee on the porch. When the fire whistle tooted the noon hour the hen exuded a joyous series of cackles. When Geier arrived on the scene he beheld a fresh-laid egg and the hen strutting proudly around the yard. Since then the hen has laid an egg every day, with three exceptions. Geier says she has a sense of gratitude, which she displays in payment for the meat tendered in the time her tribulation.—Boston Herald. No Use for a Pessimist. Freddie and his mother were having a thoroughly satisfactory romp when a visitor was announced. As one topic of conversation after another came up, it developed that the caller was in an extraordinarily pessimistic frame of mind, and expressed her disapproval, in no measured terms, of everything and everybody under discussion. "This impartial "knocking" disturbed Freddie's amiable soul mightily, and he slowly drew nearer and nearer, until he finally stood before the lady, with his small face puckered and the corners of his mouth drawn down. She stopped in the midst of an "Oh—a dreadful bore, my dear!" to say: "Why, Freddie, please do unscrew your face. I don't like to see little boys look like that." Freddie surveyed her for a moment and then said trenchantly, but with an obviously sincere wish for information: "I guess you don't like most any thing, do you?" Getting It Precisely Right "I beg your pardon," said a tall heavily built man, stopping in the throng at Forty-second street and Broadway, and addressing a smaller, irascible little man with side whiskers, whose shine he had just spilled. "I your pardon, did I step on your toes?" "If," snapped the little man, "you ask merely out of curiosity I can as sure you that you did step on my toes. If you only intended to express an abstract form of apology I have but to say 'not at all.'" "Humph!" said the offending person to a companion, "must a' been a college professor." He was not. He was, however, a well-known painter, who was far from realizing that his retort had been heard by two good friends.—New York Post. Fresh from Vaudeville The Foolish One—What's the difference between a man who admits that he wants to get rich quick and the man who says he has no such desire? The Wise One—I have never considered the matter. What is the difference? The Foolish One—The other fellow is a liar. Uselessness. "You never change your mind about anything, do you?" "What's the use," rejoined the egotist. "I found years ago that I was just as liable to be wrong the second time as I was the first."
