LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SUPEMECOURT Rules That Negro had Right to Have Member of His Own Race on the Jury in Florida. VOL. XIV. SUPEMI Rules That Negro had Right Race on the There is an impression shared by many that the relation between the white and black races in this country is becoming less amicable and more and more surcharged with injustice. The basic for this impression is to be found in certain dramatic and sensational events, in particular the riots in Springfield, Illinois, and in Atlanta, Georgia. The memory of those events is becoming faint in many minds; but the impression they rated remains. A dramatic event will have an effect upon public opinion which statistics, more significant but less picturesque, will altogether fail to produce. In the horror at the brief work of a mob the diminution in the annual number of lynchings is forgotten. The fundamental mistake in this is in picking out a startling episode or a reckless utterance and regarding it as typical. We do not arrive at the truth in that way. The Black Hand assassin does not furnish a true index to the Italian character. Aaron Burr is not an exhibit of the product of American Puritanism, So, if we wish to find out what American democracy has done with the Negro, we do not search, if we are wise, into the chain-gang of Georgia or into the slums of New York; we study instead the achievements of a Booker Washington or a W. E. B. DuBois. This is not that hopeless optimism that refuses to see anything but the agreeable. It is that scientific wisdom which, whether it is applied to the cultivation of fruit or education of a race of men, sees in the most advanced product of the present the real promise of the future. The presence of two distinct races, diverse in social heredity, separated by differences in moral and social development, having dissimilar needs, and yet possessing, under a democratic government, equal civil rights before the law, has created a problem quite without precedent. It is to be expected that the present conditions should bring injustice at times upon the members of one race and embody at times a menace to the civilization of the other. In determining whether progress has been made in the solution of this problem we are not to take counsel of those who are swayed by a grievance or governed by a fear. We are rather to make our reckoning in accordance with the achievements of those who have made the greatest progress. If those at the --- front falter or retreat, the prospect is ominous; but if they advance, we may be sure that the rest will follow. Here lies the significance of a decision hunded down by the Supreme Court of Florida. I. W. Montgomery, a colored man charged with embezzlement, made objection both to the regular panel of jurors and to the special panel selected by the sheriff. He alleged that the county commissioners discriminated against colored men. He introduced evidence to show that colored people of the county owned property, engaged in business and supported schools, and that about two thirds of the colored men were of fair character, sound judgment and intelligent, and fully qualified for jury duty; that when N. B. Broward (now Governor of the State) was sheriff, colored men were drawn on juries; that the colored race formed a majority of the population of the county; nevertheless, that now not more than half a dozen if any names of colored men had been drawn for jury duty; and it had been a long time since any color men had served on the jury in the court. Though the S'ate offered no evidence in contradiction, his objection was overruled and he was convicted by a jury to which he objected. He then appealed to the Supreme Court of the State, which decided in his favor. In delivering the opinion of this the highest court of Florida, Judge Whitfield pointed out that the complaint was not against the Florida statutes, but against the administrati n of those statutes. He made it clear that although the testimony was "neither full nor clear," it was "sufficient to require some proof that notwithstanding the fac s in evidence, there was no discrimination on account of race or color against any person of any race in the selecting and summoning of the jurors." Since such proof was not forthcoming, the Supreme court found that there had been discrimination and that the lower court was in error in not sainting the challenges. In this Florida court, then, the civil right of every Negro to trial by juries open to Negroes has been vigously upheld. It is such occurrences as this, unhearled because undramatic, that indicate, more accurately than the doings of the ruffiin or the mob in what direction the American people are moving.—The Outlook. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1903. --- [Name not visible in the image] Horace Phelps, Republican Candidate for Mayor. Horace Phelps, Republican candidate for mayor, says: "I believe in civic beauty if it does not come too high. But I believe that the true work of a community depends upon the standard of its people—what they stand for. INSTITUTE FOR COLORED YOUTH. Cheyney, Pa., April 21.—The fourth regular session of the reorganized Institute for Colored Youth has been up to the present writing very satisfactory to the managers, the student body, and the patrons. With every avail able space for the accommodation of students taken the management is making an earnest effort to relieve the cramped condition by erecting a double teachers' cottage to be ready for the coming summer school session in July. Inspection and commencement day will be June 16 The second graduating class, which numbers 16, an increase of seven over that of last year, representing six different States, is busy at present preparing their graduating theses—the subjects of which have been selected from the courses in which the students are specializing. In these courses four students are preparing to be teachers of domestic art, five to be teachers of do- mestic science, three of manual training (wood and iron work and applied electricity), and four teachers of academic subjects for the graded schools. Several members of the graduating class have already secured positions as teachers for the next school term. The domestic science department has prepared for publication a daily menu book for the use of schools and other institutions. All of the menus for this book are the result of practical experience in the dining hall of the institution. Since the work of the Institute has been at Cheyney, Pa, an earnest effort has been made in the teachers' and students' dining hall to apply principles of nutrition as well as provide food for the students at as low a cost as possible. Unusual success has resulted. The dietary costs only 21 cents a day a pupil and the meals have received the commendation of hotel-keepers and caterers who have visited the institution. For those who enjoy these excellent meals E. T. Wells, one of the most prominent Negroes of Iowa has been appointed postmaster of Buxton, Iowa, the first and only man of the race to secure such a position in a northern state. He was recommended for the position by Senators Allison and Dolliver. Chicago, April 26.—When Shuck Ju, a thoroughly Americanized Chinaman, walked into Fred Schrecke's barber shop in North Clark street, he was refused a hair cut. Now Mr. Ju is suing for $500. Mr. Schrecke, who was out when the incident occurred, offered to settle for $150, but Mr. Ju cares only for the principles of things, not money. Nashville, Tenn; April 18.—The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad has taken soap and towels from all the toilet rooms on its trains. Passeugers are now provided only with drinking water. This action is the result of a suit brought by a Negro passenger, who had not been furnished with soap and towels. Following the suit an order was issued to the railroad from Washington not to discriminate between Negroes and whites. Montgomery, Ala., April 22. The next two or three weeks will determine if Montgomery is to have a Negro theatre indefinitely or for a short time only. Marion A. Brooks and Flournoy Miller brought a dozen or more colored players from Chicago several weeks ago with a view to experimenting as to the possibilities of installing a Negro play-house in this city for good. They have put on a number of plays, notably the "Queen of the Jungle" and "Ephraham Johnson from Norfolk," and seem to have caught on immensely with the public. Although their patronage is not solicited, several white persons can be seen in the audience at each performance. Washington, April 22. As the result of protests filed with the district commissioners by the Washington Ministers' Union, the railways entering the District from the South have been requested to either remove or cover the so called "Jim Crow" signs displayed in their cars. The objectionable signs are used for the information of passengers in States where white and Negro passengers are not permitted to occupy the same sections not permitted to occupy the same sections of coaches. In NO. 32. their protests to the commissioners the ministers declared that inasmuch as there is no "Jim Crow" law in the District, the railway companies should not be permitted to carry such signs in their cars while in the District. Boston, April 20.—The great Chelsea fire which last Sunday and Monday destroyed more than one-third of the Boston suburban city and made 15,000 of its 37,000 inhabitants homeless, fell with especial disaster on its colored citizens. The colored neighborhoods together with the isolated homes, neat and in many cases beautiful, all happened to be just in the path of the fierce, all devouring flames, and but three colored families and homes remain intact at Chelsea at the present time as a result. These are the homes of Alderman William Williams, ex City Veterinary Surgeon Henry Lewis and Mr. Ford. Four colored people, Miss Georgianna Lewis, a Chelsea school teacher, and her brother and Mrs. Short and son perished in their homes, while several more are still missing. The only colored church in Chelsea, the People's A. M. E., on Fourth street, worth $12,000, but insured for less than half its value, was burned completely to the ground. Sweeping changes are contemplated in the public schools of Washington, D. C. A bill has been favorably reported by the senate, having in view a reorganization. In event of the bill being enacted into a law, a Director of Education will head the schools, in whom will be vested the former authority of Superindent, assistant superintendent of white schools, assistant of colored schools and secretary of board supervising principals will be known as assistant directors, and of whom there will be seven; two of these will be colored. The colored people will lose three members of the school board, which is felt to be serious, because it is a loss in representation. From a monetary standpoint they will have the assistant superintendent, salary, $3,000, four supervising principals, salaries from $2,200 to $2,700. The total of salaries will not be greatly different, since the town directors will draw $3,500 each. Yet here is noted a financial loss amounting to something like $1,000, providing a slight routing of the colored forces. It is contended the colored people have brought on themselves trouble by continued agitation. After all the encomiums handed to "the man behind the gun" it is a shock to learn that our naval marksmanship at Santiago was bad. Still, it answered every purpose. The action of the New York man who asked to be chloroformed, admitting that he has outlived his usefulness, seems an admission that he is too lazy to do the job himself.

REPUBLICANS OF COLORADO MEET AT PUEBLO AND ELECT DELEGATES TO CHICAGO CONVENTION. INSTRUCTED FOR TAFT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND GOV ERNOR BUCHTEL STRONGLY INDORSED IN PLATFORM. Pueblo.—The Republican state convention was called to order Tuesday morning by Chairman John F. Vivian. Attorney General William H. Dlckson was made the temporary chairman. William C. Blair was made secretary and Mrs. Wilson of Teller and Charles Hayden of Huerfano county assistant secretaries. The credentials committee was dispensed with, as there was no contest, and the temporary organization was made permanent. Rev. Orrin W. Aumin asked the divine blessing on the assembly. He prayed that the party in the state and nation might lead to righteousness, that the demagogue might not prevail and the party be not led from the path by the desire for glory or power. List of Delegates. Following is the list of delegates at large to the National Republican convention in Chicago: Delegates—Hubert Work, Pueblo; Crawford Hill, Denver; William Lenox, El Paso; Thomas F. Walsh, Arapahoe; William A. Drake, Larimer; Robert G. Breckenridge, Rio Grande. Alternates—Bulkeley Wells, San Miguel; James Williams, Denver; Charles Tarbell, Saguache; H. G. Koch, Pitkin; Thomas Campbell, Denver (colored); John E. Holmberg, Denver. Delegates from Second Congressional District—Clyde C. Dawson, Fremont; A. A. Rollestone, Teller. Alternates—A. N. Parrish, Prowers; W. Z. Klnney. San Juan. Platform. Following is the platform adopted: "The Republican party of Colorado 'n convention assembled, congratulates itself and the people of the state upon the splendid condition of its organization, which is the natural and legitimate outgrowth of the great principles upon which the party itself is founded. We heartily commend and indorse our present Republican state administration. The Republican majority in the Sixtieth General Assembly enacted into laws the most important pledges in the platform of our party. Under the splendid leadership of Gov. Henry A. Buchtel, and with the hearty and united support of the other state officials, honest and successful endeavors have been made to carry these salutary measures into effect. We are proud to record the fact that all Republican state officials have ably and faithfully performed the duties of their respective offices. The whole administration reflects credit upon our party and honor to our state. We indorse and applaud the record of our Republican United States senator, Simon Guggenheim. He has been earnest, active and successful in his efforts for the best interests of the state. We also indorse the actions of our Republican members in the lower house of Congress. We believe them to have been in accord with the principles of our party and in harmony with the wishes of our people. In lieu of a further declaration of principles at this time, we indorse the fearless, able and energetic administration of President Roosevelt, and declare ourselves in favor of a continuation of the wise policies he has inaugurated. For his successor we recognize in William H. Taft of Ohio the most logical and the most available candidate. He has the confidence of the people: His learning is deep; his ability unquestioned; his character above reproach and his experience in administrative affairs varied, comprehensive and successful. As the administrative head of our national government we are confident that he will faithfully carry out the principles of our party, that he would preserve the confidence of the people, protect the rights of all classes, promote our industrial welfare and continue the peaceful and honorable relations now existing between our country and the other nations of the earth. We therefore do now instruct our delegation to the Republican national convention at Chicago to vote for the nomination of William H. Taft as the Republican candidate for President of the United States. Resolved, That we hereby express our extreme gratification with the action of the Denver Republicans in placing in the field such an excellent and worthy ticket, headed by that exemplary and splendid man, Horace Phelps. The success of the party in Denver makes largely for the success of the party in the state, and as Republicans representing the state at large and believing in the principles of the party, we urge our Denver brethren to put forth every effort in the spring campaign to elect Phelps and the entire ticket, thus securing a Republican administration for our capital city and making doubly sure the success of our state ticket in the fall election." THE BEST ICE CREAM AND CANDIES AT PHONE 168. LAST TERM OF SENATOR TELLER VETERAN COLORADO STATESMAN ANNOUNCES HIS RETIRE- MENT NEXT SPRING. COMING BACK HOME AFTER OVER THIRTY-TWO YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC LIFE IN WASHINGTON. Washington.—Senator Teller announced Wednesday that he regarded the present Congress as his last. Upon completion of next winter's term he will settle in Colorado for the remainder of his days. "I can foresee no contingency that will cause me to again seek election for the Senate," said Senator Teller. "I intend to retire to private life on March 4, 1909. I do not care to give a specific reason for my retirement beyond the weight of years. By next March I shall have spent a little over thirty-two years at Washington, mostly as senator from Colorado. I think that is a sufficient time for me to spend in public service, and will retire." Senator Teller went on to emphasize the fact that he is leaving public life by saying that he had no desire to become a delegate to the Democratic convention at Denver this summer and would relinquish his chance for such honor to some younger Democrat who might be more desirous of the distinction than he. "The fact that I am about to enter my seventy-ninth year," said Teller, ought to be reason for my relinquishment of further ambition as to public service. Although I am feeling quite capable and in splendid health and am enjoying my work in the Senate, I will under no circumstances seek a re-election." The following is a brief sketch of Senator Teller's life and public service: Born, Granger, Allegheny county, N. Y., May 23, 1830; married June 7, 1862; to Harriet M. Bruce of Cuba, N. Y.; practiced law in Illinois, 1858-61; when he removed to Colorado; major general of Colorado militia, 1862-64 United States senator from December 4, 1876; to April 17, 1882; secretary of interior in President Arthur's cabinet, April, 1882; to March 3, 1885; again United States senator from Colorado since March 4, 1885; re-elected, 1891, as Republican, withdrew from national Republican convention, 1896, because of financial plank in platform Re-elected, 1897, as Independent Silver Republican; re-elected as Democrat, 1903; present term expires 1909. Sale of Fidelity Assets. Denver.—R. H. Malone, receiver for the Fidelity Savings Association, has completed a deal for the sale of the largest remaining asset of that association, and secured an order from Judge C. E. Bliss to dispose of the remaining Louisiana lands for $20,000. It was the investment in these lands that was held to be largely responsible for the wrecking of the Fidelity. But little real estate now remains to be disposed of, as some of the lands were previously sold. There were about 10,000 acres altogether, and in the parcel sold Wednesday were 6,497 acres. According to the order $10,000 will be paid in cash and $10,000 within a year, with interest at six per cent. The lands were known as the Concordia Parish lands. A small dividend will be paid as a result of the sale. Police Guard Korean Bishop. San Francisco.—Warned that a number of Koreans in San Francisco were preparing to assassinate the Right Rev. Bishop Merriman Colbert Harris upon his arrival Wednesday on the Pacific Mail steamship Korea from the Orient, Surveyor of Port Woodward, accompanied by a number of other federal attaches and members of the local police force, met the steamer upon its appearance in port, and placing the divine aboard the revenue cutter Golden Gate, caused his removal to Oakland. The action came in response to a request from Washington. Denver breaks Building Record. Denver.—Wednesday, April 29th, was a record day for taking out building permits. April this year has been a banner month, permits for over $1,300,000 having already been issued. Yesterday the Cheesman Realty Company took out a permit for a four-story brick hotel to be built on California between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, to cost $100,000. The Colorado Exposition Company took out two permits for Overland Park. One was for cattle and horse barns to cost $24,000, and one for a new entrance gate to cost $3,000. Fraud Order Sustained. St. Louis.—A decision was handed down in the United States Court of Appeals Wednesday affirming the judgment of Judge McPherson in refusing to grant an injunction to prevent enforcement of a fraud order issued by the Postoffice Department against the People's United States Bank, of which E. G. Lewis is president. Frost Does Great Damage Fort Collins, Colo.—Great damage has been done the fruit crop in northern Colorado as the result of the cold Tuesday night. The mercury dropped to twenty. J. F. McClelland, who owns one of the biggest fruit ranches in this part of the state, four miles south of here, thinks his entire crop gone. He has 126 acres in plums, apples and cherries. Prof. Wendell Paddock, horticulturist of the Agricultural college, believes Tuesday night's cold did severe damage, but says it is impossible at this time to state the full extent. LARGE WATER DEAL SETTLED HENRYLYN IRRIGATION DISTRICT BUYS RIGHTS OF INTERMOUNTAIN WATER COMPANY. TO EXPEND $3,000,000 WILL TUNNEL MAIN RANGE TO REACH WILLIAMS FORK OF GRAND RIVER. Denver.—Papers were signed Tuesday transferring water rights from the Intermountain Water Company to the Henrylyn irrigation district, which will involve an eventual expenditure of $3,000,000 or more. All the water will be used within a radius of thirty-eight miles of Denver, and some of it will be placed on land adjoining the corporate limits of the city. The water filings of the Intermountain Company, just transferred, consist of all the water in the Williams forks of the Grand River with the exception of forty-two feet of prior right; also the waters of McQuary, Steelman and other creeks in Grand county in water district No. 51. The irrigating capacity of the water just acquired is computed, including storage systems, at 200,000 acres. But as this estimate is obtained from measurements extending over a period of only seven years, it has been decided to use this water on only 70,000 acres for the present. Adding this amount to the original Platte river appropriation makes a total of 120,000 acres. Of the above amount, 20,000-acre feet will be used between Denver and Golden, an option having already been given for that amount to the Agricultural, the Golden and the Welch ditches. The remainder of the water will be used between Denver and the stations of Hudson and Keene, on the Burlington railroad. The bringing of the waters of Williams fork to this side of the range will necessitate the driving of a tunnel 15,800 feet in length, which has already been surveyed. The tunnel will be driven at a point seven miles from Empire and the entire flow will be diverted into the headwaters of Clear creek. H. G. Wolff and J. F. Church represented the Intermountain company in the transaction and C. M. Ireland, Newton Boles and F. A. Hensley the Henrylyn irrigation district. It is announced that active work will begin within thirty days and will be pushed rapidly to completion. The 50,000-acre feet of water under the original Henrylyn filing will be available within twelve to eighteen months. It will require between two and three years to complete the Williams fork system. Brags on Greeley Butter. Denver.—State Dairy Commissioner Bishop wants somebody to start a creamery in Greeley or some other town in that section. He has just returned from Weld county and waxes eloquent over the conditions there. "Without exaggeration," he said to a reporter, "Greeley and that section of Weld county produces the best butter and dairy products in the state, and I have been all over. Some of the stores handle only butter. The supply seems limitless, and such delicious stuff it is. Strange to say, there isn't a creamery anywhere near Greeley. There is a lot of dry farming land in the section which can only be cultivated in connection with raising dairy products. Feed for the cows could be grown and there is a fine opportunity for someone with a small capital to start a creamery either at Greeley or in that section of Weld county." Spirited Interstate Debate Boulder, Colo.—The University of Missouri defeated the University of Colorado in debating on the evening of April 23rd. The question discussed was, "Resolved, that all elective state, county, district and municipal officers should be nominated by direct primaries held under state regulation." Colorado upheld the affirmative, while Missouri defended the negative. The latter contended chiefly that judicial officers should not be nominated according to the question. The debate was probably the most spirited and beneficial in which the state university ever contested. The chairman of the evening was Lieutenant-Governor Harper, and the judges were Hon. Ralph Talbot, Hon. William B. Tibbets, and Mr. L. Ward Bannister, all of Denver. Scriptural Mind Cure Denver.—The movement made famous by the Emanuel church of Boston, having for its purpose the healing of the body and mind by the study of the scriptures, is to be given an experiment in Denver. From May 18 to 29 a school will be held at the Central Christian church under the direction of Rev. W. W. McArthur for the instruction of those who want to delve into the new science. The ministers of Denver are taking great interest in the plan and are anxiously awaiting the results of Mr. McArthur's experiment. If it is successful other churches may try to heal the sick in body and in mind. Murder Trial at Canon City Canon City, Colo.—Strong evidence against the defendant was introduced Wednesday morning in the trial of Anton Bavari, alias Neroni, who is charged with the murder of Joseph and Dominick Minichello, Ercola Buffetti and Mrs. Frank Palmetto, and the dismembered bodies of all four were found buried in the back yard of his house during January. The first passenger train of the season on the Plke's Peak Cog road ascended to the summit Monday, April 27th. Congressman Meekison Gives Praise To Pe-ru-na For His Relief From Catarrh.

I constant confinement in my store began on my 10th birthday, and I have been breaking down. I have no remedies, but obtained no permanent relief until I took Peruna.

It helped me soon, and after taking three or four bottles I was entirely cured of stomach trouble, and can now eat anything." Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio, Representative Adam Bede of Minnesota is credited with the story of the boy with the disreputably dirty face, who was sent to the town pump by the teacher, with the scriptural injunction, to "wash and be clean." He returned with the chin and lower part of his face looking rather pale, but his cheeks and forehead remained as dirt-hued as before. The children roared at his comical appearance, and, when the teacher asked him why he had not cleaned his entire face, he answered: "I washed and wiped as high up as my shirt would go." Where He Drew the Line: A famous English barrister was upon one occasion called upon to defend a cook tried for murder, being accused of having poisoned his master. The barrister, after a most able and brilliant defense of the culprit, secured an acquittal. The cook, anxious to show his gratitude, said: "Tell me, sir, whatever can I do for you to reward you?" The triumphant counsel answered: "My good man do anything you can, but for God's sake, don't ever cook for me." 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.

Main 6835 PRESIDENT IN SPECIAL MESSAGE ASKS FOR NEEDED LEGISLATION WOULD CURB LAW-DEFYING CORPORATIONS AND RESTRICT THE SCOPE OF INJUNCTION.—EMERGENCY CURRENCY LAW AND ESTABLISHMENT OF POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS URGED. Washington.—In a message which was barely announced in the Senate and which was not received by the House, the President Monday pleaded that Congress enact certain highly important measures before adjourning. He asked that financial legislation be enacted providing for the temporary measures for meeting any trouble that may arise in the next year or two and for a commission of experts who shall thoroughly investigate the whole matter, both here and in the great commercial countries abroad, so as to be able to recommend legislation which will put our financial system on an efficient and permanent basis. He said one feature of the financial legislation of this session should be the establishment of postal savings banks. He also asked for a measure to do away with abuse of the power of injunction and a measure or group of measures to strengthen and render both more efficient and more wise the control by the national government over the great corporations doing an interstate business. He urged appropriations to enable the Interstate Commerce Commission to carry out the important features of the Hepburn law which gives to the commission supervision and control over the accounting systems of the railroads. He said "failure to provide means which will enable the commission to examine the books of the railways would amount to an attack on the law at its most vital point and would benefit as nothing else could benefit those railroads which are corruptly or incompetently managed." The message, which is over four columns in length, is in part as follows: "In my message to the Congress of March 25, 1908, I outlined certain measures which I believe the majority of our countrymen desire to have enacted into law at this time. These measures do not represent by any means all that I would like to see done if I thought it possible, but they do represent what I do believe can now be done if an earnest effort toward this end is made. "Since I wrote this message an employers' liability law has been enacted, which, it is true, comes short of what ought to have been done, but which does represent a real advance. Apparently there is good ground to hope that there will be further legislation providing for recompensing all employees who suffer injury while engaged in the public service; that there will be a child labor law enacted for the District of Columbia; that the waterways commission will be continued with sufficient financial support to increase the effectiveness of its preparatory work; that steps will be taken to provide for such investigations into tariff conditions by the appropriate committee of the House of Representatives, and by government experts in the executive service as will secure the full information necessary for intelligently revising the tariff at the hands of the Congress elected next fall. "And finally, that financial legislation will be enacted providing for the temporary measures for meeting any trouble that may arise in the next year or two and for a commission of experts who shall thoroughly investigate the whole matter, both here and in the great commercial countries abroad, so as to be able to recommend legislation which will put our financial system on an efficient and permanent basis. It is much to be wished that one feature of the financial legislation of this session should be the establishment of postal savings banks. "Ample appropriation should be made to enable the Interstate Commerce Commission to carry out the very important feature of the Hepburn law which gives to the commission supervision and control over the accounting systems of the railroads. Failure to provide means which will enable the commission to examine the books of the railways would amount to an attack on the law at its most vital point and would benefit as nothing else could benefit those railroads which are corruptly or incompetently managed. Forest reserves should be established throughout the Appalachian mountain region wherever it can be shown that they will have a direct and real connection with the conservation and improvement of navigable rivers." "There seems, however, much doubt about the two measures I have recommended: The measure to do away with abuse of the power of injunction and the measure or group of measures to strengthen and render both more efficient and more wise, the control by the national government over the great corporations doing an interstate business. "First, as to the power of the injunction and the punishment for contempt. In contempt cases, save where immediate action is imperative, trial should be before another judge. As regards injunctions, some such legislation as that I have previously recommended should be enacted. They are blind who fail to realize the extreme bitterness caused among large bodies of worthy citizens by the use that has been repeatedly made of the power of the injunction in labor disputes. Those in whose judgment we have most right to entrust are of opinion that while most of the complaint against the use of the injunction is unwarranted, yet that it is unquestionably true that in a number of cases this power has been used to the grave injury of rights of laboring men. I ask that it be limited in some such way as that I have already pointed out in my previous messages, for the very reason that I do not wish to see an embittered effort made to destroy it. It is unwise stubbornly to refuse to provide against a repetition of the abuses which have caused the present unrest. "In a democracy like ours it is idle to expect permanently to thwart the determination of the great body of our citizens. It may be, and often is, the highest duty of a court, a legislature or an executive to resist and defy a gust of popular passion; and most certainly no public servant knows what may be the consequences to himself should he yield to what he thinks wrong. "But in a question which is emphatically one of public policy, the policy which the public demand is sure in the end to be adopted, and a persistent refusal to grant to a large portion of our people what is right is only too certain in the end to result in causing such irritation that when the right is obtained it is obtained in a movement so ill-considered and violent as to be accompanied by much that is wrong. "The process of injunction in labor troubles, as well as where state laws are involved, should be used sparingly and only when there is the clearest necessity for it; but it is one so necessary to the efficient performance of the duty of courts on behalf of the nation that it is in the highest degree to be regretted that it should be liable to reckless use; for this reckless use tends to make honest men to desire to so hamper its execution as to destroy its usefulness. "Every far-sighted patriot should protest first of all against the growth in this country of that evil thing which is called 'class consciousness.' The demagogue, the shister or Socialist visionary who strives to arouse this feeling of class consciousness in our working people does a foul and evil thing; for he is no true American, he is no self-respecting citizen of this republic, he forfeits his right to stand with manly self-reliance on a footing of entire equality with all other citizens, who bows to envy and greed, who erects this doctrine of class hatred into a shibboleth, who substitutes loyalty to men of a particular status, whether rich or poor, for loyalty to the eternal and immutable principles of righteousness which bid us treat each man on his worth as a man without regard to his wealth or poverty. "But evil though the influence of these demagogues and visionaries is, it is no worse in its consequences than the influences exercised by the man of great wealth or the man of power and position in the industrial world who by his lack of sympathy with and lack of understanding to, the millions of our working people, tends to unite them against their fellow Americans who are better off in this world's goods. "It is a bad thing to teach our working people that men of means who have the largest proportion of the substantial comforts of life are necessarily greedy, grasping and cold-hearted and that they unjustly demand and appropriate more than their share of the substance of the many. Stern condemnation should be visited upon demagogues and visionary who teach this untruth, and sterner still upon those capitalists who are in truth grasping and greedy and brutally disregardful of the rights of others, and by who their actions teach the dreadful lesson far more effectively than any mere preacher of unrest. "A 'class grievance' left too long without remedy breeds 'class consciousness,' and therefore class resentment. "The strengthening of the anti-trust law is demanded upon moral and economical grounds. Our purpose in strengthening it is to secure more effective control by the national government over the business use of the vast masses of individual and especially of corporate wealth, which at the present time monopolize most of the interstate business of the country; and we believe the control can best be exercised by preventing the growth of abuses, rather than merely by trying to destroy them when they have already grown. In the higher sense of the word this movement for thorough control of the business use of this great wealth is conservative. "The heartiest encouragement should be given to wage workers to form labor unions and to enter into agreement with their employers, and their right to strike so long as they act peaceable must be preserved. But we should sanction neither a boycott nor a blacklist which would be illegal at common law. "The measures I advocate are in the interest of both decent corporations and law abiding union unions. They are, moreover, pre-eminently in the interest of the public, for in my judgment the American public have definitely made up their mind that the days of the reign of the great law defying and law evading corporations are over and that from this time on the mighty organizations of capital necessary for the transaction of business under modern conditions, while encouraged so long as they act honestly and in the interest of the general public, are to be subjected to careful supervision and regulation of a kind so effective as to insure their acting in the interest of the people as a whole." Insane Convict Runs Amuck. Pueblo, Colo.—Breaking away from the guards at the state insane asylum Monday afternoon, Edward McElfee, an ex-convict negro, eluded his pursuers and, after attacking several women, secured a hatchet and struck down Mrs. Mary Jones, whose skull was fractured and her brain penetrated by the hatchet blade. There is said to be no hope for her recovery. McElfee was finally cornered against a house and Fire Chief McCartin called a chemical wagon. Two lines of hose were laded and the negro was knocked over by the force of a $2\frac{1}{2}$ inch stream shot at him, when he was overpowered and returned to the asylum. THE BL·JAMES M. & M. CO.

Goloredes A RASH PROPOSAL. sin the campaign for De them, Aceepting the imy is propose to discuss witl irty virtues, in all the dif 1 reputation for rushing ttle, and let the argumen’ it is morality that Demo if, any say, he should fir ld by St. Peter. THERE are issues in the campaign for Denver's next city officers and morality is one of them, Aceepting the implied challenge of candi- date Phelps, Democrats propose to disewss with Republicans the com- parative qualities of party virtues, in all the different churehes of Den- ver, Democrats have a reputation for rushing in where angels fear to tread. On with the battle, and let the argument be opened or closed in a colored church. If it is morality that Demoeracy lays claim to, one need not be surprised if, any say, he should find a Democrat aspiring to the office so long held by St. Peter. THE PLATFORM. PLATFORMS do not always play important parts in political eam, paigns, but sometimes they are vital. Sometimes conditions are so open and emphatic and issues so distinet that the party principles formally expressed by a convention as the policies to which its candidates are pledged, and which will be enforced if those candidates are elected. are even more important than the personel of the ticket nominated. ‘The platform of the city and county Republicans this year is quite as important as its candidates, in many respects, because it commits them to decided policies on all the great moral questions now agitating this and other communities, some of which are almost national in their im- portance. ‘The expression of Mr. Phelps, candidate for mayor, that ‘progress and morality go hand in hand,’ is not only a campaign slogan, but a trustworthy eivie maxim. It forms the keynote of this eampaign and must appeal to all yoters who realize that the value of property, the se- curity of life, the welfare of children and the peace and happiness of the community, all, in the end, depend upon eivie honor and righteousness. The conyention’s endorsement of the candidacy of Seeretary Taft for the Presidential nomination is more sentimental than forceful. That Colored people doubt the propriety of his nomination does not ap- pear to affect the sentiment of majorities in some localities, and we are perfectly content to wait such final decision as the people of the nation may desire. The city campaign is our present concern, and that offers no con- tention oyer either platform or candidates, for both and all stand for a greater and a better Denver. ‘The prospect for a Republican city administration means much to the Colored voters of Denver, Republican control means improved con- ditions to all, and to the Colored people no less than to any other ele- ment of our citizenship. UP GOES THE FLAG. ticket is good enough fo h for every Colored voter rr woman with the right o rogressive, clean and abx 1 the tumultuous wrang the attention of the Den aa THE Republican city ticket is good enough for The Colorado States- man. It is good enough for every Colored voter in Denver, It is good enough for every man or woman with the right of franchise, who stands for what is upright, progressive, clean and aboye-board in municipal government. After all the tumultuous wrangling and blood-thirsty bickering that has held the attention of the Denver publie for the past three months, emanating from the various factional headquarters of the many-sided Demoeratie party, it is a relief of the kind that wakes quick enthusiasm, to see a highly representative and loyally harmonious Republican convention step into the lime-light with a ticket and a plat form that is ‘‘as clean as the food you eat.’’ To head that ticket with the name of a young man who has spent his life since babyhood in Den ver, gone through her schools, seen her blossom from a prairie bud of promise into a great, thriving and beautiful municipality, and who has always kept in leading touch and practical sympathy with every influ. ence that has made the city great and with every principle that has sought to make and to keep her and her people clean, progressive and righteous, is to command the respect, admiration and support of all peo. ple who love truth and honor and order more than they love political pretension and personal clamor over bombastie party policies. Nothing better could have been done to set the Republican party in this city squarely on its feet and give it at once the inside track in the coming municipal race. Horace Phelps, as a candidate for mayor, is an inspi- ration to every good citizen and an honorable assurance to every honest voter of every class, But the remainder of the ticket is on a par, in character, with the head, and altogether, it presents a combination which, for merit, ean- not be beaten. George N. Ordway, for city clerk, is a nomination of great satisfaction to consistent Republicans, and A. K. Viekery, for an- ditor, and L. C. Greenlee for treasurer, give greater balance to the ticket because of their tried and true characters. ‘The candidates for super- visors and aldermen are all men of trust and representative worth. A more satisfactory and deserving ticket was probably never placed before the voters of Denyer, The Colored yoters of Denyer ean always be counted on the side of clean and honest government, Sobriety, order, cleanliness, progres- siveness and all the characteristies of decency are of great importance to the welfare of the colored people, and in the ticket now before them they have every reason to feel genuine confidence, INSTITUTE FOR COLORED YOUTH.

Item, a grind. stone. “There's a boy in our house who. turns that grindstone. Barly and late he {s down there fooling with it. He doesn’t have to turn it, that is why he is so passionately fond of the exer- cise, If he had to turn it as 1 dia when a boy he could be induced to ap- proach it only through the persuasive application of a stick or the end of a leather strap. The boy next door is his partner in these grindstone stunts. They sharpen knives. The next door boy holds the knife while our boy turns the crank. ‘They have three dif- fereut knives to work on. Apparently neither of these weapons is ever used for anything except grinding. They are the sharpest knives I ever saw. In the days when I turned a grind- stone I turned to some good purpose. The men I turned for sharpened scythes and axes and butcher's knives and things, but none of those imple- ments ever got one-half so sharp as the knives these boys own. “Our boy and the boy next door get a good deal of fun out of their grind- stone, but they miss many of the in- cidents that enlivened my own tus- sles with that deadly machine. They don’t haye anybody to cuff them op the ear, for instance, and growl: ‘Hur- ry up, there, now. Turn fast ti I put an edge on this seythe. It is clouding up, and we must get the rest of that grass cut and dried before the rain comes.’ Or maybe it was the weight of an ax I was laboring under. Un- consciously, or more likely conscious- ly, I slowed up a bit and fell to day- dreaming. But I didn’t dream long. A smart box on the near cheek and a nod toward the woodpile brought me to. ‘No time to dawdle,’ said the somebody who held the ax, and so I limbered up and for the space of a minute or so put a touch of lightning into the revolutions of that stone wheel. “It was under such disadvantages that my early acquaintance with a grindstone flourished. ‘These boys know no such incentive to pegging away at their everlasting grinding. Their bouts with the grindstone are mere play. Still, Tam glad they have it to play with. You don’t see many grindstones in New York, and it does a fellow good to brush up against something that helped form his char acter.” The Closed Season. A recently married West Philadel- phia girl was the innocent cause of much amusement at a small dinner in one of the down-town hotels recently, says the Philadelphia Record. Her father-inlaw, having been made god- father to the child of one of his busi- ness associates, wanted to give. some, present to the infant in recognition of the honor. Knowing that others in- tended bestowing mugs, spoons, ete., he decided that he would go out of this conventional line and give the baby a carriage. Being a very busy man, he commis- sioned his daughter-inlaw to do the buying, with instructions to get a very fine one. During a lull in the conver- sation at the dinner the father-in-law said: “Bess, did you get that baby carriage?” “Oh, I got you a beauty, and only ten dollars,” was the reply- “You didn't get a good one for that price,” protested the father-inlaw. “Yes, I did,” asserted the young lady: “the salesman said they were re- duced because this wasn’t the sea- son.” Then she wondered why every one laughed, ‘ Anecdote of Kina Edward. 2 ane Gaulois” relates the following “anecdote delicieuse.” Edward VIL, while still prince of Wales, was ac- customed to take his morning walk alone in St. James’ park. One day he noticed that he was being followed by two litle boys, and turned round to look at them. Although at first much disconcerted, one of them plucked up courage, and, taking off his cap, said: “Your royal highness, my little friend is French, and I have just made a bet with him that you are the heir to the throne of England.” The prince of Wales replied, smiling= “You have won; but what was your little friend's bet?” “He bet that your royal highness was a Parisian.” “Oh, well, then,” said the prince, smiling, “he has also won.” 5 Hunting in Luxury.

Instead of finding fault with those who are engaged in the liquor business, a little time spent in the vast sums paid out annually for labor, materials, taxes, etc, the average taxpayer would think twice before they vote the anti-saloon ticket. It would be a public calamity for a community to willfully destroy the legitimate business of any citizen, especially when hundreds of laborers will be thrown out of employment. If in any degree the demand for the product of the breweries is decreased. The cry should be, well regulated saloons, and not prohibition. No mistake should be made by the taxpayers of tenants in seeing to it that each man and woman who wishes to see industry fostered go to the polls on May 19th and vote "just as they talk," against prohibition in any of its various forms. Let the men who are identified with the industrial world continue in their efforts to make Denver and Colorado what it should be, the home of a liberal government, backed by a liberal people. Wm. R. McCowan, one of Denver's pioneer citizens died last Sunday after an illness of many months. Deceased was a native of Indiana from which state he enlisted as a soldier in the civil war.

Payne officiating Besides a daughter and brother, a large circle of friends are left to mourn his loss. The remains were laid to rest at Riverside cemetery. Undertaker Q. J. Gilmore had charge of the remains. Card of Thanks. We desire to extend our hearts felt thanks to those who rendered assistance to our late father and brother, Wm. R. McCowan, during his sickness and death. MISS VIRGIE McCOWAN, J. R. McCOWAN. Captain Thomas Campbell Highly Honored by Republican State Convention at Pueblo. 55 CAPT. THOMAS CAMPBELL. The Republicans of Colorado have just recently held one of the greatest state conventions in the history of the party at Pueblo, Colorado—so say many of the old-timers. It was at this convention that the subject of this sketch, Capt. Thomas Campbell, was honored by being elected as one of the alternates-at-large to the national Republican convention at Chicago. In this we heartily indorse the Republican party, and especially Mr. Jno. F. Vivian, state chairman, and all of the party leaders in giving the Negroes of Colorado such a worthy and distinguished representation. And the editor of the Colorado Statesman takes pride in the fact that we have in the Colorado delegation such a man as Captain Campbell. While it is true we may differ on some minor matters, I am proud to congratulate him upon being so highly honored by our party. The captain is a young man, honored and respected by all who know him. He is well educated, a man of excellent habits, up-to-date in theory and practice, and will make a safe and reliable representative on the delegation. While the Captain may be looked upon as a new man in Colorado politics, yet he has had considerable experience in politics and in dealing with men and public affairs. He has indeed had a great range of experience and travel. He was a clerk in the United States general land office at Washington during the Harrison administration. When war broke out between Spain and this country he offered his service to the government and was commissioned by President McKinley as a first lieutenant in the Seventh Immue regiment and served through the war with Spain with great honor and credit as a soldier and an officer. When the war in the far East began he was again called upon and commissioned as a Captain in the Fortyninth United States infantry by President McKinley. While serving in the Philippines he distinguished himself by capturing the insurgent, Colonel Tomas Aguinaldo, brother of General Emilio Aguinaldo, the great insurgent chief, and also General Agapato Bonson, another one of Aguinaldo's insurgent chiefs. At present Captain Campbell is employed in the Governor's office at the State Capitol. Again we congratulate him on his success and the high honor bestowed upon him by the Republican party of Colorado through the wisdom and foresight of the party leaders.

DURING THE PAST WEEK A RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY WESTERN NEWS. Fire at La Plata, Missouri, destroyed ten buildings and caused a loss of $50,000. The Oklahoma Legislature is busily engaged in enacting a code of insurance laws, and seems to be accumulating the drastic features or all the various state laws. The case of David F. Day, the Durango editor, who was charged with misuse of the mails, has been dismissed by Judge Lewis in the federal court at Denver. To call the attention of the government to what they believe is a deliberate attempt to rob them of lands, a deputation of Indian chiefs, representing every tribe of British Columbia coast Indians, will leave Vancouver for Ottawa on May 26th, to interview Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Fen S. Hildreth, receiver of the land office at Phoenix, Arizona, has been suspended pending the investigation of his records by an inspector, which is in progress. The nature of the charges or suspicions is not made public. Hildreth says the oourt's investigation will vindicate him. the Oklahoma house passed the bill previously passed by the Senate providing for the establishment of a state industrial college for women. Domestic science will be the principal thing taught at the new school and girls between the ages of twelve and thirty-five are to be admitted as students. The college of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, adjourned its session at Nashville after announcing the plan of episcopal visitation. Among the assignments are the following: Bishop H. C. Morrison, Denver conference, Aztec, New Mexico, August 13th; Bishop James Atkins, Montana conference, Butte, Montana. The Bingham Central Railway Company has raised $3,000,000 on a mortgage for the building of a railroad from Salt Lake to the copper camp of Bingham, thus giving a competing outlet to the immense ore production of that district. The project is backed by F. Augustus Heinze and the road is intended to reach his properties. The executive committee of the Western Passenger Association has recommended the abolition of the double contract form of ticket now used in connection with excursion business. It also has recommended the abolition of the office of joint agent except at a few of the larger cities, such as Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and St. Paul. Although in deference to the wishes of Count Tolstoy, the plans for an international celebration at Yasanaya Polyana this summer of the writer's eightieth birthday, to which delegations from Russia and abroad had been invited, have been abandoned, admirers of the Russian novelist propose to signalize his jubilee by the formation of an international Tolstoy society similar to the Goethe, Dante and Shakepearian societies. According to a report of the United States government on mortality, Leadville and Pueblo have a greater number of deaths from pneumonia than any other cities in the Union. Pittsburgh and Allegheny, Pennsylvania, lead the country in death rate. While Colorado's and California's death rate is high, it is explained that a large portion of the deaths are of persons coming from other states suffering from consumption and other diseases. GENERAL NEWS. The overturning of a lantern by a horse's kick in the Gallagher livery stable at Peebles, Ohio, caused a fire loss of $50,000. The first Indian conference held in California to discuss practical means of improving the conditions of the Indians in that state is in session at Riverside. Although Grover Cleveland is said to be slowly recovering from the attack of stomach trouble, he has not improved sufficiently to return to his home in Princeton, and the date of his leaving Lakewood is still undecided. The trotting champion, Lou Dillon, $1.58\%$, has foaled a filly at Cleveland, Ohio, by John A. McKerron, $2.04\%$. The youngster is without a spot or mark and is said to be in perfect condition. A dispatch from Tangier says that the report of Raisull's assassination is false. It is true, the dispatch says, that a band of Elkmes fired a volley at him from ambush, but Raisull was not hit. The boycotters of Japanese merchants at Hong Kong are persistent in their efforts and are creating a widespread sympathy with startling effect. The explosion of a boiler tube on the British battleship Brittania during a full speed trial injured five men, four severely and one slightly. It is reported at Guayquil, Ecuador, that the British steamer Cacique from Mollendo, March 24th for San Francisco, has been destroyed by fire about 120 miles from Point Santa Elena, in Guayas province. Thirty-one members of the steamer's crew were rescued by the Ecuadoran gunboat Bolvar and landed on the coast. Out-of-town delegates to the annual convention of the general society, Daughters of the Revolution were welcomed by the New York state society with a reception at the Plaza hotel in New York. There were more than 500 guests, prominent members of the society from all over the country. The citizens of Auckland, New Zealand and have appointed various committees to arrange for an adequate welcome to the American fleet of battleships when they call there next September. Reports have reached Tiflis that the Kurdish population of the Armenian provinces bordering on Russia have become aggressively active and are indulging in disorder and massacre. The American population is fleeing into Russian territory. The management of the amusement company at Newport, Rhode Island, whose action in declining to admit a marine in uniform to its premises two years ago led to the present agitation against discrimination toward men wearing the marine or naval uniform, has yielded to public sentiment and rescinded its order. Some of the eastern roads are said to be working out a system whereby the National Educational Association not only will be given a rate of $1\frac{1}{2}$ cents a mile for the round trip for its annual convention, which is to be held this year at Cleveland, but will continue to receive the $2 membership fee which the roads in past years collected for it. The steamer Empress of India has brought to Vancouver news of a series of disastrous conflagrations at Pekin, involving the loss of many lives due to incendiarism. Nine fires took place in as many days at the end of March and the beginning of April. Dynamite rebels are considered responsible and wholesale arrests have been made. At 6 o'clock Thursday night a tornado destroyed the eastern portion of Deport, Texas, a town twenty miles southeast of Paris, killing W. R. Isbell, a druggist, and wounding several others. Thirty dwellings on the east side of town were destroyed. The Baptist and Presbyterian churches were demolished. The cotton oil mill, including the boiler house, seed and hull sheds, were blown away. Half the little French hamlet of Notre Dame de Salette, sixteen miles from Buckingham, Quebec, on the Lievere river, disappeared Sunday under a sliding mountain, and at least thirty of its small population are known to have perished. The hamlet has no telephone or telegraph, nor is it on a railroad. Meagre bits of news of the disaster come in by messengers from the physicians and other rescuers who were hurried there when the first calls for aid came early Sunday morning. The river Lievere winds at the foot of the hamlet and a mountain towers behind. In the trial at Medicine Hat, Manitoba, of nine members of the "Dreamers" sect, charged with burning homes of unbelievers, startling evidence was given. Joseph Beits of Irvine, Alberta, stated that it was agreed to burn the Baptist and Lutheran churches. It was not the result of a dream, but their creed was to burn and murder. Letters were read at a meeting from "God Jacob," whose headquarters are at Java, South Dakota, and whose real name is Jacob Merkel, Sr., giving instructions to kill and murder all unbelievers. The names of several farmers were mentioned for destruction. CONGRESS AND THE CAPITAL It is announced at Suva, Fiji Islands, that the American fleet has accepted an invitation to visit the islands. Again replying to an inquiry, Senator Hale said the President, as commander in chief, had command of the fleet and may order it where he will in the absence of law and regulations, but of course, Congress, if it desired, could regulate the control of the fleet. Senator Guggenheim gave notice that when the sundry civil bill reaches the Senate he will press an amendment carrying an appropriation of $75,000 to pay express charges upon silver dollars ordered by bankers from various sub-treasuries. The London postal authorities have learned that two bags of mail from London, containing securities and valuables worth $500,000 were stolen in New York the latter part of March. Both bags disappeared in transit between the steamers and the postoffice. "The story is wholly unauthorized," declared Secretary Taft when his attention was called to the statement from Havana and Thomas P. Egan of Cincinnati, In an interview, was quoted as saying that Taft would resign immediately if nominated at Chicago and that Governor Magoon of Cuba would succeed him as Secretary of War. The Secretary added that so far as he knew there was no foundation for the statement. A strong recommendation for the appointment of an officer to be known as "chief of cavalry" has been made by a committee of cavalry officers attached to the army staff college. It is argued that the chief should be a member of the general staff and head of the committee considering questions relating to the cavalry, having power to inspect that branch of the service for the purpose of ascertaining and of bettering where the standards of efficiency recommended may be obtained. Mr. Hale laid before the Senate a statement of battleships and other features of the American naval program which he said showed that as large a fleet as is now in the Pacific can be kept there and at the same time there would be ships for a still larger fleet for the Atlantic. He said that there had been authorized, including the authorizations of the pending bill, thirty-one battleships and a great many cruisers, many of them as large as battleships. "I do not think," said Mr. Hale, "that senators and representatives have appreciated these facts. We are not compelled to build another great fleet in order to have protection on either coast." The pension appropriation bill, carrying $163,053,000, was passed by the Senate in four minutes. No change was made in the bill as it came from the Senate committee. Arguments in favor of the President's program for four battleships consumed most of the session of the Senate Friday. Senator Piles of Washington, opened the debate declaring that the Asiatic situation affecting the Pacific coast was a menace to that section, as war clouds might quickly rise there over some clash between Americans and the Japanese. He wanted a fleet kept in the Pacific. Beer, Wines, Liquors, and Cigars Zangs' Special Brew. BOND'S PLACE. Fine Wines, Liquors and Cigars The People's Bargain Store J. PRESENT, Manager.

"Come on, son," said the old farmer, after the daybreak breakfast, "and we'll get out in the fields and start plowing." "But I can't plow to-day," protested the youngster, "I have chills. Why, dad, I am shaking all over." The old farmer grinned and took a fresh chew. "All the better, my son. If you can't plow you can scatter the seed. All you have to do is to hold them in your hand and every time you shake it will send them in all directions. Better than a patent seeder, begosh." $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is the cataract. The disease is now known to the medical fraternity. Catarh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hail's Catarh Cure is taken in the form of a cream that covers the surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting the healing process.

Forgie, of Leesburg, Va., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I want other suffering women to know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.

Webber and Ben McGee, trusties, who escaped from the penitentiary April 23rd, were captured next day at Skagua and taken back to Canon City. Henry Van Kleeck has been appointed as delegate to represent the Denver Chamber of Commerce at the National Conference of Peace Arbitration which will meet, as it annually does, at Mohonk Lake, New York, May 21st. A Taft special to the Chicago convention will be run from Pueblo and it is expected that every town in the Arkansas valley and Colorado Springs will send at least one representative, and that between 100 and 125 will be on the train. A force of men has been set to work on the Argentine Central railroad, which ascends Mount McClellan above Georgetown, to get the road in shape for operation. The road is practically open now, most of the snow having disappeared. It is intended to open passenger business June 1st. Gunnison granite has been selected for use in the drilling contests in the international mining exposition to be held in Madison Square Garden, New York, in May and June. This beautiful stone is the product of the Aberdeen quarry, seven miles south of Gunnison, and is the same as used in the State Capitol. The Royal Gorge will have a telephone line with wires on brackets on the solid rocks of the canon. Men will be let down by means of ropes from the brim of the chasm to anchor the wires. The line is to be constructed by the Colorado Telephone Company, and will be used in connection with the new Canon City waterworks. J. E. Moore's ranch in the Gunnison valley, which adjoins the city limits of Delta, has been sold to W. L. Clark of Randolph, Pennsylvania, for $40,000. It contains 226 acres of rich sugar beet land and it was on this ranch that the sugar beets were raised which took the first premium at the St. Louis world's fair. The N. W. Brock ranch, one of the largest of the old-time cattle ranches in Routt county, has been sold to the Yampa Livestock and Land Company. This ranch comprises about 500 acres of the finest bottom land along Bear river and is one of the best acquisitions yet made to the big Cary Bros. ranch. The price paid is said to have been $30,000. The most elaborate dinner ever given at the Cheyenne Mountain Country club at Colorado Springs was that tendered Monday night by Charles M. MacNeil to Charles Hayden and William B. Thompson of Boston. Fifty of the best known men of this state and Utah were present. It is estimated that more than $100,000,000 was represented at the table. In the District Court at Canon City the United States Reduction and Refining Company was granted a judgment against the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company for $60,000 for the burning of the Union mill at Florence two years ago. The reduction company brought suit for $250,000, claiming that the fire started from a spark from a passing Rio Grande engine. Word has come to the University of Colorado from the University of Missouri that the latter school is anxious to have Colorado enter the Missouri Valley conference, the members of which are included in Nebraska, Kansas, Washburn, Washington, Missouri and others. This conference is an association of colleges and universities merged for the purpose of athletic relations. A committee from the State Bar Association, headed by Halsted L. Ritter, held memorial services in the Federal Court at Denver, April 23rd, passing appropriate resolutions on the death of various members during the past year. The members who passed away were Charles W. Tankersley, Herman H. Dunham, Albert G. Grier, John H. Murphy, Charles I. Thomson and Charles M. Brown. At Glenwood Springs on the night of April 22nd, John L. Taylor, convicted of second degree murder for killing his wife, and sentenced to not less than twenty years in the penitentiary, cheated the court by hanging himself in his cell at the city jail. He used a rope made of strips of his bedding. He was found shortly after midnight and had evidently been dead for several hours. The crime of which he was convicted was killing his wife at Coal Basin last July. His attorneys tried to prove that his wife committed suicide. The new shops building of the college of engineering at the University of Colorado was dedicated April 25th. The program consisted of music remarks by President James H. Baker, Regent Charles R. Dudley, Dean Milo S. Ketchum, and Harry Curtis for the engineering students. Hon Regis Chauvenet, former president of the State School of Mines, gave the principal address of the day. The inspection of the shops followed. They are now in full operation and on account of their modern equipment and facilities are considered the best of their kind in the West. R. P. Davle and J. R. McKinnie of Colorado Springs will increase by twenty per cent. the capacity of their sugar plant at Grand Junction. The plant, which cost upward of $1,000,000, now has a daily capacity of 800 tons, so that when the extension is built the factory will handle 1,000 tons a day. A postoffice has been established at Clifford, Lincoln county, with W. Mike Monahan as postmaster. A chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution has been organized at Colorado Springs with a membership of fifty. Henry Trowbridge was elected president. Effective May 1st L. D. Knowles, general agent in Milwaukee for several years of the Missouri Pacific system, has been appointed general western agent of the same system, with headquarters at Denver. Mr. Knowles has been in the railroad business twenty-five years. PAT'S MIND WAS LOGICAL. Quick to See One Strong Point as to Victim's identity. Previously to entering the railroad yards an able-bodied loafer picked up a small, glittering object from the sidewalk and, without examining it very closely, pinned it to his coat, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Three minutes later he collided with a slowly moving freight train, was hurled against a post and picked up insensible. The train dispatcher, notified by telephone, called up Patrick Doyle, the yardmaster's assistant, and said: "You'd better search his pockets, Doyle. Find out who he is, notify his friends and report to me:" A few moments later the report came: "There's not a line of writing on him," said Patrick, "but we've identified him by the badge on his coat. He is a Lady Maccabee." How I Cured Sweeny and Fistula. "I want to tell you how I saved one of our horses that had a fistula. We had the horse doctor out and he said it was so bad that he did not think he could cure it, and did not come again. Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. "One day last spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a horse with sweeny, and I told him about Sloan's Liniment and he had me get a bottle for him, and it cured his horse all right, and he goes off now like a colt. "We had a horse that had sweeny awfully bad and we thought it was never going to be any good, but we used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Liniment he ever used. "We are using Sloan's Sure Colic Cure and we think it is all right." A. D. Bruce, Aurelia, Ia. HOW HE SHOT THEM. Made Little Difference to Sportsman Where His Birds Were Hit. "Down in Florida, where I spend the greater part of the winter," said the sunburned New Yorker, "they are not so particular about observing the game laws and the little niceties of hunting as we are up north, I had frequently seen water fowl shot without giving them a chance to rise. Coming up to Jacksonville a big German got on the train at Port Orange with a nice string of duck. He sat next me in the smoker and I struck up a conversation with him. "Nice lot of ducks you have there," I said. "Yah,' he replied. "Where did you get them?' I asked. "Down py de inlet up de creeks,' he said. "I suppose you shot them on the wing,' I ventured, remembering the trick of the pot hunters. "Yah,' he replied solemnly, 'on de ving, und in de feet, und in de head, eferwhere. Dere dey are. You can examine dem und see for yourself." Willing to Oblige. The poor but nervy young man was after the hand of the heiress. "Young man," roared her irate father, "never darken my door again." "All right, sir," replied the suitor, blandly, "I'll come around to-morrow and give it a coat of bright red paint. That will be much better than darkening it." And the next instant the poor but nervy young man was being chased by a Scotch coachman, a French chauffeur and an English bulldog. New Dinner Card Idea. From Paris comes a decorated cardrack with a trail of artificial flowers that may be changed to suit the dinner colors and makes a pretty addition to the table. These racks are to hold a plain card upon which the guest's name is written and they may be used for a good many dinners, thus obviating the expense of the decorated dinner card every time one entertains. BUILT RIGHT. Brain and Nerves Restored by Grapeo Nuts Food. The number of persons whose all-ments were such that no other food could be retained at all, is large and reports are on the increase. "For 12 years I suffered from dyspepsia, finding no food that did not distress me," writes a Wis. lady. "I was reduced from 145 to 90 lbs., gradually growing weaker until I could leave my bed only a short while at a time, and became unable to speak aloud. "Three years ago I was attracted by an article on Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. "My stomach was so weak I could not take cream, but I used Grape-Nuts with milk and lime water. It helped me from the first, building up my system in a manner most astonishing to the friends who had thought my recovery impossible. "Soon I was able to take Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, and lunch at night, with an egg and Grape-Nuts for dinner. "I am now able to eat fruit, meat and nearly all vegetables for dinner, but fondly continue Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper. "At the time of beginning Grape-Nuts I could scarcely speak a sentence without changing words around or 'talking crooked' in some way, but my brain and nerves have become so strengthened that I no longer have that trouble."

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Pants for the Orphans. There is a praiseworthy custom in some families of sending all the "pants" that the boys have gone through, wholly or in part, to the asylum for orphans, and, as the orphans never mind a hole more or less, they are glad to get the garments. In one of these families a few days ago occurred a little incident bearing on this laudable custom. Fred was engaged in that extremely fascinating, but rather dangerous, sport of sliding down the banisters. "What are you doing there, Fred?" asked mamma. "Making pants for the poor little orphans," answered Fred. HOW TO TEST LINSEED OIL There is nothing that will make paint go wrong on the house more quickly than poor oil. It is as bad in its way as adulterations in the white lead. Petroleum oil cheapens may be detected by placing a drop of the oil on a black painted surface. If one sees the characteristic iridescence or play of colors which kerosene exhibits, it is evidence of adulteration. Corn and fish oil can be detected by the smell. Adulteration in white lead can best be discovered by the use of a blowpipe, which National Lead Company will send with instructions free to anyone interested in paint.

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman were one day arguing as to which of the three countries possessed the fastest trains. Said the Englishman, "Well, I've been in one of our trains and the telegraph poles have been like a hedge." "I've seen the milestones appear like tombstones," said the Scot. "Be jabers," said Pat, "I was one day in a train in my country and we passed a field of carrots, a field of turnips, a field of parsley, one of onions and then a pond of water, and we were going so fast that I thought it was broth!" BABY'S ITCHING HUMOR. Nothing Would Help Him—Mother Al- most In Despair—Owes Quick Cure to Cuticura. "Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. I doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. Mrs. William Geeding, 102 Washington St., Attica, Ind., July 22, 1907." Out of Reach. A little child of two years was crying lustily for the round, full moon. "Oh, no," said her little sister. "God has put it away up so high nobody could get it, or else they'd soon smash it all to pieces and there wouldn't be any moon."

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES, BACKACH 1875 "Guarantee" One Monday morning the colored "wash lady" did not arrive at the usual hour to do the weekly washing of a family residing in a Pennsylvania town. When she appeared some time later the mistress of the house descended to the kitchen and was greatly edified by the woman's explanation. May be permanently overcome by proper personal efforts with the assistance of the one truly beneficial laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna which enables one to form regular habits daily so that assistance to nature may be gradually dispensed with when no longer needed as the best of remedies, when required, are to assist nature and not to supplant the natural functions, which must depend ultimately upon proper nourishment, proper efforts, and right living generally. To get its beneficial effects, always buy the genuine "No'm"—carefully removing a hat ornamented by a voluminous black veil—"I wasn't sick.

Fit the Lines of the Figure—Full The surplice cut bodice—another boon Dress Costurnes Without to the home dressmaker, by the way Tea gowns and evening frocks are coming to thelr own now. It’s very hard at times to distinguish between the two, for the evening gown has grown nearer and nearer to the soft flowing lines of the sembnegligee, while the tea gown has broken its sweeping draperies and fitted itself to the lines of the figure. ‘The difference, however, is most likely to be found in material, for the tea gown has taken to itself the rich velvets, cashmeres and soft vellings, while evening gowns remain as airy as possible. Lines tend more to the flowing style, with sur- plice front and angel sleeves. Very young girls, however, are wearing the dearest little puffs that barely cover the top of the arm, while many of the newest full dress costumes are quite guiltless of sleeves. For these the flower trimmings are popular. A trifle less pronounced {s the angel sleeve, or win sleeve, as the French who orig- inated it name it, SHOES FOR THE HOT WEATHER.

It is predicted that opera slip: pers will be worn on all oczasions, and these will be made in black, white and pink, o7 any other shade that might by any chance be required, se tere ae There are many new pendants which may be used as brooches or even hairpins. ‘They are made with a golden loop at the top that fits over the chain, but the brooch pin and hairpin both screw into a tiny hole in the back of the middle of the design. Some cameos, being such heavy or- naments, are arranged so that for pendants they are very large, but when used as brooches the cameo may be taken out of the frame and fixed so that it may be pinned on to the dress. Of course, the cameo would not be used as a decoration for the coiffure, for such pins are usually of Giamonds or some other glittering stone. Hemstitch on Machine. Cut strips of newspaper one inch wide and full length of the paper; use eight thicknesses. Tear off your hem, put the strips of paper with edges even between the edge of hem and where you have torn it from, then sew down through paper and cloth Just the width of the seam from the edge. Next tear out the paper and sew down each edge, sewing up your hem at same time. This makes a pretty way of putting embroidery in shirt waists, It also can be used for hemming sheets or pillowcases.

The Narrow Hall, To improve the appearance of a very narrow hall place large mirrors on both sides. This gives a very good effect. A large mirror, one the length of the wall, if placed opposite the landing of a half-curved staircase, will add wonderfully to the appearance of the narrow hall and make a wide one more handsome. Avoid striped paper in the narrow hall, Use a plain paper and also plain carpets without figures, or a geometrical design in rery small broken lines. Terra cotta 3 a good hall color, also a good This sleeve falls quite away from the outer part of the arm, and is mado of tulle, net or some other of the va- rious materials that were formerly de- voted to undersleeves. This 1s a great advantage for the girl who re- models her party frocks occasionally, to be able to pot in sleeves of a dif: ferent material from the dress {tself. The surplice cut bodice—another boon to the home dressmaker, by the way —usually opens over a tiny low-cut vest of the same materfal as the sleeves. Soft wingshaped bretelles hanging in points at the front and back are usually tipped with tassels or tiny jewels of some sort. Skirts are straight and very full, though there are rumors from Paris that the panel front, often of a different material from the gown itself, is coming into vogue, while ruffes, the dear, narrow skirt ruffles which our mothers had on their party frocks years ago, are on the way. For materials, satin fs per- haps in the lead. It’s by no means an extravagant fashion, for they wear well as evening material go, and come in very goon ~ualities as low as one dol- lar a yarc st many of the shops, Silk mulls are used for the simpler gowns, while the ever-popular crepe de chines are much worn, Net, except in the Jet and jeweled patterns, isn't used as much as It promised to be at the be- ginning of the season. For older wom- en the soft velvets and velveteens are the richest materials. TRIMMING THE NEW COATS. Plain Stitching Not Alone in Use for Decoration. Plain stitching {s no longer the principal decoration of the tailor-made coat. Whether it be of cloth, linen or silk, it is trimmed either with braid or with straps or bands of different material, as shown. For the simple spring tailor suits facings and strap- | i ff. a fey? \ x pings of linen are frequently used on a cloth jacket. The use of bands of silk on cloth, of cloth on silk, ete., is also a pronounced feature of this sea. son's fashions, Not enly are the trimming materk als put on In bands, but shaped pieces cut in many different styles are used to trim the coats. In linen coats a linen of contrasting shade may be used for this purpose or striped, fig- ured or polka dotted material. When the coat is of cioth the decorative pleces are sometimes of velvet, al though for the spring linen or silk fs more used. ‘Trimmings of lighter or darker col ored cloth or linen are also used on coats either in straps, facings or shaped trimming. grade of olive green can be used. A cream paper, toned to oak, is hand- some in & new house, though a color scheme {s usually needed. A light pa- per is preferable tn a narrow, um lighted hall. Green paper fades very easily and red soon loses its original color. A Praacentuct Pockets. It is said that pockets are to return with the fashions of the spring, but in spite of the rumor no one has ven- tured to foretell where these com- forts to femininity will be placed fn the costume. Is {t that they will be fastened, as of old, to the underskirt or will they take their old position at the placket, or, perhaps, will they be cunningly placed in the belt of one of the new semfprincess gowns? Perhaps they will find a nesting place at the end of the long sash ends, so popular this year, or, again, there Is a possibility that they may be sewn to the hem of the dress. Of courso, no matter where they are, {t will only be possible to use them to carry (he dainty moucholr of milady. New Spring Hats, The new spring hats are decidedly smaller and the shapes are certainly much more becoming than they have been for many seasons past. Indeed the smartest modes may be worn by elderly women with dig nity. A pretty hat in Tuscan straw—just ‘a round crown and narrow — brim, ‘trimmed with black velvet ribbon and white wings arranged most artistically may be worn with equal becoming: ness by a girl of 16 or a woman of 60, BABY BORN IN HISTORIC INN. Fifth Generation to See the Light in the Old Home. Born in the house of his great-great- grandfather and rocked in the cradle that lulled his great-great-grandfather to sleep away back in old Connecticut before the beginning of the last cen- tury, is the patrician beginning of wee Edward Griswold McCullough, who made his appearance on earth Sunday in the old Griswold inn at Worthington. He is the son of Ed- ward Miles McCullough, says the Co- lumbus Dispatch. In all the romance of old Worthing- ton there is no greater halo than that which hangs over the Griswold inn. It was built in 1806 by Ezra Griswold, who came from Connecticut with the pioneers who settled much of the western reserve and central Ohio. The family was an old one even for old Connecticut and Ezra Griswold was a sturdy representative of it. He brought this family Into the “great west" with him and his son, George Griswold, was reared in the inn. He was eight years old when his father brought him to Ohio. | George Griswold, in turn, inherited ‘the duty of perpetuating the name, and when his father died he fell heir _to the inn property and lived through- “out his life where his father had build- ed so well. His son was Worthington Franklin Griswold, who, as his father bad done, inherited the inn and lived in it. To him and his good wife was born a daughter Harriet, who was ‘reared in the home of the family, and | who continued to live there when she became Mrs. McCullough. | Now she is the happy mother of a son and she is rocking him in the Griswold cradle that was brought to Ohio along with other household pos: sessions by Ezra Griswold when he drove his ox team overland from Conniectiout in 1806. No one knows how long the unique heirloom had en in the Griswold family before that time, but it {s supposed that Ezra Griswold was himself rocked in it when he was a baby long before revolutionary times. When little Edward Griswold Me- Cullough is baptized he will wear a MES white dress that was made for the baptismal ceremony of his grand- father, by his great-grandmother—a ‘dress that has been handed down in the family with great care and which will be treasured more dearly than ‘ever when another epoch has been ‘noted in its history. John ‘Sharp Getting Busy. “The fact is,” said John Sharp Wil- liams to a gentleman who had twice ineffectually sought to gain. his at- tention by calling him “senator,” “1 haven't got accustomed to the title. But I've begun to accustom myself to the atmosphere of my field of labor to be. To-day I went over to the sen- ate chamber, slipped into the cloak: room on the Democratic side, and trled to feel at home.” “Did you tell a story?” was asked. “No, I didn’t.” “Well, you can't hope to rank as a senator until you have a cloakroom story and it has been printed.” “Well, I did borrow a cigar from a new senator. Then I sauntered over to the Republican side as carelessly as I could, took a seat alongside a brand new senator there, almost as new as T will be, and chatted with him with as much of an air to the manner born as my perturbed condition would permit. From time to time 1 shall repeat the visit, in the hope that I shall be able to fully accustom myself to the change when It comes.” —Washington Post. Every now and then we hear used the word “swank,” and it must be ap- propriately, for it seems to match the situation. But few there are who un- derstand its precise meaning. The London Globe, however, comes to their relief, for it says that “swank” Is called bluff by Americans, and until some genius presented the British na tion with the other word “bluff” suf. ficed. “Swanking is the gentlest ot all arts, It relies for its success al most entirely on amlability of de. meanor. A man may smile and smile, and be a swanker, In fact, he has got to. If he is not cheerful and at. tractive, he cannot swank, for the swankee, repelled, edges away, thus rendering his swanking null and yold It is the wide, cheery smile, _ the hearty back slap, and the general ac- quiescence that makes the swanker.” Is it worth while admitting the word to the vocabulary? iatatinnahicdalarcannement: Recently the New York Tribune made mention of a new East side philanthropic movement, the Volks kitchen, a “Kosher” eating place for orthodox Jews. At first it was be- lieved that on Saturday it could be open only for supper and not for lunch- eon, as religious Jews do not handle money or tickets on the day of rest. However, an ingenious plan has been devised by means of which luncheon can be served on the Jewish Sabbath This plan is the simple one of adopt- ing badges or pins instead of tickets On Friday small badges are sold for seven cents. The observant Jew pins {t on his coat, from which it is re- moved upon his entering the following day. Thus he obtains his Sabbath luncheon from the Volks kitchen with: out breaking a law or tradition, Slight Obstacle. Knicker—Did Jones wake up to find himself famous?
