Noted Educator Requests the World to Call Attention to How Mods are Theatening Civilization. Twenty-Five Negroes Lynched Within Sixty Days. VOL. XIV, WASHI Wants Justice Done to Negro the World to Call Atten Theatening Civilization groes Lynched W (By Telegraph to the Editor of The World.) Baltimore, Aug. 19.—Within the past sixty days twenty-five Ne. groes have been lynched in different parts of the United States. Of this number only four were even charged with criminal assault upon women. Nine were lynched in one day on the charge of being connected with murder. Four were lynched in one day on the charge that they passed resolutions in a lodge approving the murder of an individual. Three were lynched in one day on the charge that they had taken part in the burning of a gin house. The others were lynched for miscellaneous reasons. One was publicly burned in open daylight in the presence of women and children, after oil had been poured upon his body, at Greenville Texas, and reports state that a thousand people witnessed the spectacle in the open square of the town. One other victim was eighty years of age. How long can our Christian civilization stand this? I am making no special plea for the Negro, innocent guilty, but I am calling attention to the banger that threatens our civilization. For the Negro criminal, and especially for the Negro loafer, gambler and drunkard, I have nothing but the severest condemnation, and no legal punishment is too severe for the brute that assails a woman. It requires no courage for 500 men to tie the hands of an individual to the stake or to hang or shoot him. But young men and boys who have once witnessed or who have read in the papers of these exciting scenes of burnings and lynchings often get the idea that there is something heoric in attacking some individual in the community who is at least able to defend himself. No doubt the people who engage in lynchings and excuse them believe that they will have the effect of striking terror to the guilty. But who shall say whether the persons lynched are guilty? There is no way of distinguishing the innocent from the guilty except by due process of law. That is what courts are for. Those who have examined into the facts know only too well that in the wild justice of the mob it is frequently the innocent man who is executed. These lychings terrify the inno- cent, but they embolden the criminal. The criminal knows it is much easier to escape the mad fury of the mod than the deliberate vengeance of the law. But no man is so innocent that he can be safe at all time from the frenzy of the mob. Statistics show that during the past ten years an average of thirty-two Negroes a year have been lynched on the charge of assaulting women. Granting that thirty-two per year are guilty, is that just reason for condemning over 3,000, 000 adult Negro men who have no part in such crimes? Are we as a nation to allow thirty-two criminals a year out of a race of 10,000,-000 of people to throw us into a frenzy and change the complexion of our civilization so that we are held up to foreign nations as an uncivilized people not governed by law or order? Again I would say I am not making any special plea for the Negro, but because I feel that lynching is not only wrong, but a mistake—an awful mistake. Mob justice undermines the very foundation upon which our civilization rests, viz., respect for the law and confidence of its security. There are, in my opinion, two remedies—First of all, let us unite in a determined effort everywhere to see that the law is enforced, that all people at all times and all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial. Secondly, let all good citizens unite in an effort to rid the communities, especially the large cities, of the idle, vicious and gambling element. And in this connection I would not be just and would not be frank unless I stated that the betters of the black race could use their influence, especially in the cities, to see that the idle element that lives by its wits without permanent or reliable occupation or place of abode is either reformed or gotten rid of in some manner. In most cases it is this element that furnishes the powder for these explosions. Concealing His Secrets. "I am sorry I married an Austrian," sighed the girl who has.

J., Aug. 17.—Hattie Reilly, aged 26 years, white was slain tonight by her husband, Randolph Reilly colored, after she had shot him. Mrs. Reilly was almost decapitated. The quarrel began over the possession of a revolver. Reilly demanded that his wife give him the weapon, and wielded a razor in the struggle to get it. The combatants fell down the stairs, and Reilly was hacking at his wife frantically when the police entered.

It developed that an agreement had been entered into some time ago between the hotel and restaurant keepers' association and the lodge whereby the association agreed to pay for the use of the St. Paul auditorium for the Colored Elks provided the reception committees would instruct visitors to keep away from all places that were placarded.

There may occur in 1901 a close race between Washington and Philadelphia, but the indications are that Philadelphia will retain its position as the greatest Negro centre in the world, for Africa itself has no city that contains 107,000 Negroes.

Chicago, August 15.—Just as the "Chicagoites" were commenceing to forget about the restaurant keeper putting up a sign in the window of his small, dark restaurant that no colored patronage was wanted, news leaked out about a local business college refusing to accept Miss Cora J. Hawkins as a pupil. Miss Hawkins formerly live here, but now resides in Washington, D. C. She carried on quite an extensive correspondence with the management about entering but when she made her appearance at the college some of the ignorant members of the institutions thought of the spelling contest in Cleveland and protested against her admittance. As is usually the case, the applicant was forced to go elsewhere. Huntington, W. Va, Aug. 12. Rev. W. P. Dorsey, a prominent local pastor, was hooted from the country Democratic convention today, while speaking on the "disfranchisement" and "Jim Crow" planks in the state Democratic platform. He said that the Democratic party was the only "white man's party," and that any Republican who would not vote for those two planks should live to see the day when "his daughter would wed a Negro and rear a brood of offsprings of the dusky sons of Ethiopia." Feeling in the packed court house became so intense that the speaker was hissed from the platform. The local papers will take the matter up tomorrow and deal with according to their respective lights. The city is much stirred over the sensational speech. Paris, Aug. 8.—Fortune called this week on a Negro dancer named Charley Gregory, who is 100,000 francs richer for the visit. To be quite exact, fortune did not find him at home, but in a tobaccoist's shop, where Gregory, who is an American by nationality, but Parisian by employment was lounging and chatting with the proprietor. The latter while sweeping out had found a dirty lottery ticket and offered jestingly to sell it to Gregory for a song—perhaps one ought to say a dance. Gregory had not much use for the lottery on the European plan, his affections being faithful to four, eleven, forty-four, but to oblige his friend, the tobaccoist, he bought the ticket, which has now won the first prize, $20,000. Now Gregory is thanking St. Nicotin for luring him into that particular shop, but what will Carrie Nation and the Anti-Tobacco league say? Chicago, Ill., August 18. Through the presence of mind of a policeman another race riot was averted in front of No. 3317 State street, Sunday morning. There are a number of colored families here who were forced to leave their homes at Springfield, Ill., where a serious race riot is being waged, and many innocent colored people are being killed or beaten and their homes burned. While discussing the affair Sunday a white woman happened to pass and a colored woman looked her square in the face. The white woman became indignant and asked the colored lady what she meant by looking at a southern white lady in that manner. She continued that "if you niggers were down South you would be lynched." The colored sister said "You are not down South now, and if I get to you I'll break every bone in you body." Just then an officer appeared and quieted matters. The white woman pulled a hat pin and said: "I am not afraid of 1000 nigger." If the woman had been attacked chances are would have sworn that she had been assaulted. Then white men would have come to her rescue and there would have been another riot. NO. 49. WOMAN MOB LEADER IS SUICIDE WOMAN MOB LEADER IS SUICIDE Springfield, Ill., Aug. 26.—Mrs. Kate Howard, leader of the mob in the recent race war in Springfield, tonight killed herself by swallowing poison while being taken to the jail following the return of an indictment against her, charging murder. She already had been indicted for destruction of property, but was out on bail. She knew, however, that she was likely to be brought to trial for her life, together with Abraham Raymer and Ernest Humphrey, who were indicted with her for the alleged murder of the two Negroes who were hanged by the mob on the nights of August 14 and 15. "If I am indicted for murder I will end it all by death," she told her friends, but they looked upon her statement as occasioned only by the excitement of the race war. The detectives went to her home to arrest her as soon as the indictment was returned. She asked permission to change her clothing, and the request was granted. It was the woman's chance to carry out her prcdetermined plan. While changing her clothing she drank the poison. Its effect had not become apparent when she stepped from the room and surrendered herself to the man waiting to take her to jail. On the way she talked of her case. She was given a promise by the sheriff that she would be permitted to telephone to her lawyer. The first indication of what the woman had done was when she fell senseless at the entrance to the jail. A physician was summoned. He made one injection of a poperful stimulant, but before the remedy had time to operate the woman was dead. Columbus, Ohio. J. P. France of 1199 Parker street, has been informed that a patent for his automatic railroad signalling device has been issued at Washington. The invention contemplates the use of compressed air to operate semaphores through an attachment at the rail, which is affected by the flange of the locomotive wheel and the space between semaphores is thus blocked so that no other train or part of train can enter. The road is clear and the engineer can proceed in assurance that there will be no collision ahead or behind, for if another engineer should ignore the signal, either in front or behind, and seek to run past it, he would be derailed. Mr. France's first idea was to use electricity, but he changed to compressed air because he was advised it was more reliable. Operation, he says, can be carried on at an expense of 75 cents a day for a distance of 20 miles. The semaphores may be 50 miles more or less apart. COLORADO HAS LIVE SENATOR GUGGENHEIM UNTIRING IN EF FORTS ON BEHALF OF HIS STATE. HAS SPLENDID RECORD LEGISLATION SECURED BY HIM GIVES COLORADO NEEDED APPROPRIATIONS. Washington, D. C.—In the final summing up of legislative results of the first session of the Sixtieth Congress, it is found that Colorado interests farred unusually well. The state not only shares in many general items of legislation beneficial to the West, such as the increased payment to the state of from ten to twenty-five per cent. of forest receipts, but in local benefits exceeds many of her neighbors. This was due to the untiring zeal and energy of the state's new member in the upper chamber, Senator Guggenheim. First of all, Colorado led all of the states in the country, excepting one, Illinois, in the amount appropriated for public buildings, and for this Sen. Guggenheim deserves unstinted praise. The house public building committee gave Colorado scant recognition—in fact, in its report on the omnibus public buildings bill it took occasion to "knock" the people of Denver for insisting upon a general public building, instead of meekly taking a measly postoffice building costing not over $500,000, as the committee deemed the city should have. Before the bill reached the Senate for action, Senator Guggenheim had offered an amendment to it, giving Denver $1,800,000, the amount estimated by the supervising architect as necessary to erect a suitable building, commensurate with the needs of the city, on the site already selected, bought and paid for. He fortified his amendment with figures and statistics and made personal appeals to his friends among both the Republican and Democratic members. Senator Guggenheim made a ten-strike in the matter by personally securing the active aid of Chairman Scott and the next, ranking member of the committee, Senator Warren. These two senators were instrumental, not only in having Denver put in the bill, but as members of the conference committee they were able to keep it there after a long, stiff fight with the house members of the committee, being forced, however, to cut the amount of Senator Guggenheim's amendment from $1,800,000 to $1,600,000, a decrease which probably will be remedied by subsequent legislation. Senator Guggenheim was equally successful in his efforts to secure an appropriation for the enlargement of Fort Logan, and to obtain perpetual water rights for the post. In this he worked systematically as if the matter were a private business enterprise. Through his attorneys he secured options on the required lands and water rights, and was thus enabled to go before the War Department and the military and appropriations committees of the Senate with a clean cut, definite business proposition. He secured favorable reports from the War Department and the military affairs committee of the Senate upon his bill providing for the improvements, passed it through the Senate and, recognizing the impossibility of passing it through the House in the congestion of business caused by the prevailing filibuster, he offered his bill as an The Omaha Grain Exposition. The greatest grain exposition ever held in the world will be from December 9th to 19th, inclusive, at Omaha, Nebraska. Although this is called the National Corn Exposition, the word corn is used in its broadest sense and includes all the grains and grasses. Last year this exposition was held in Chicago; the value of all premiums offered at that time was over $25,000; this year the prizes will exceed this amount. The largest prizes offered, and those that will have the largest number of entries, are the sweepstakes prizes for the best corn, wheat and oats. The Colorado farmers cannot hope to win the corn prize; but they should put forth their best efforts to capture the wheat and oats prize. Nearly all the western states have raised funds or offered specials for the best wheat and oats from their state, in order to encourage a large exhibit; so far Colorado is the only state that has not supplemented the premiums offered by the exposition. The prize for the best wheat is valued at $300. The grain will be milled in the Exposition building, and the flour baked. Can you realize what the winning of this prize means to a state? Can you realize how much advertising Colorado would get all over the world should we be fortunate enough to land the prize? We can do it if we will contribute something so as to be able to offer some prizes as encouragement to the grain growers. Your co-operation is asked in this matter; we must act without delay. Next month the premius list will be published and then it will be too late. Address all communications to F. Knorr, Secretary Colorado Grain and Seed Growers' Association, Fort Collins, Colorado. amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, had it adopted, and retained it throughout all the parliamentary procedure on the bill up to its approval by the President. The amount carried by the Fort Logan amendment is but $110,000, but it is an important bit of federal legislation for Denver, for it insures the growth of Fort Logan to a post much larger than could ever be expected had additional land and perpetual water rights not been secured. It is the entering wedge for a larger Fort Logan. Senator Guggenheim made another valuable strike for his state in securing legislation authorizing the resurvey of several hundred townships in Routt, Cheyenne, Archuleta, Rio Blanco and Kiowa counties. The senator first secured the passage of this bill through the Senate and worked hard, but without success, to get it through the House. The filibuster prevented this, but when an omnibus public lands bill came over from the House, Senator Guggenheim got his resurvey bill incorporated as an amendment, and it finally became a law after running the gauntlet of House, Senate and conference committee action. This legislation will facilitate the settlement of that great area of northwestern Colorado tributary to the Mofaf railroad, as well as lands in the southeastern part of the state, where settlement had been retarded by inadequate and inaccurate surveys. Among other Colorado matters introduced by Senator Guggenheim and by his colleagues in the House, and which became laws, were the following: Public building for Boulder, $10,000; appropriated for site. appropriated for site. Public building for Greeley, $15,000; for site. Pensions for Harry C. Gallagher, Francis E. Wheeler, and Edwin Morgan. Public building appropriation for Trinidad. $15,000. Public building appropriation for Fort Collins, $60,000. Public building for Grand Junction, $10,000; for site. Amendment to legislative appropriation bill increasing salaries of surveyors general of Colorado and other western states from $2,000 to $3,000 per annum. Amendment to sunday civil appropriation bill increasing salaries of laborers in the Leadville fish hatchery. Amending land laws so as to provide for second and additional homestead and desert land entries. A measure introduced by Senator Guggenheim which failed of passage was his bill to appropriate funds annually to establish the study of forestry in state colleges. While this bill did not obtain favorable action, it is not Senator Guggenheim's intention, by any means, to abandon it. He has collected a large amount of statistical material and information on the subject, and will take the matter up when Congress reconvenes, and endeavor to carry it to a successful termination. In the opinion of those who have followed Colorado affairs in this Congress, Senator Guggenheim, for a new member, has done well. True, he has not attempted any speech-making on the floor of the Senate, but in the committees, where the actual and effective work of Congress is done, his business-like directness, and complete knowledge of every detail of whatever he advocated, got results. Not posing as an orator the senator, on the other hand, has cultivated the personal acquaintanceship of his colleagues in the Senate, and few members, even those of long service, have more personal friends than he. In this connection, Senator Guggenheim has shown good judgment in working in perfect harmony with his Colorado colleagues. In his work in the departments, Senator Guggenheim carries the attention to detail he would give to private business matters. Many senators rely upon their clerks or secretaries or upon correspondence to attend to the business with the departments of their constituents. Not so with the junior senator from Colorado. He goes himself. Often before the head of a department reaches his office in the morning, Senator Guggenheim is there waiting for him with some request from a Colorado ranchman, or farmer, or mining man. It is this constant attention to his senatorial duties, and his application of business methods to congressional procedure which makes it quite certain that in Senator Guggenheim Colorado has a representative who will "do things" for this state and its people. He Won't Always Be One. "I have a clerk," a New York wholesale merchant remarked the other day, "and he sometimes manages to hand back a rather good one, though as a rule he is little short of stupid, apparently. As a matter of fact, I suppose he is one of those dreamy sort of chaps, and you can never tell about that kind. "I was sorry after I said it," he continued, "but recently he had made a most unnecessary blunder, and I lost my temper. "I say, Jones," I sneered, 'you'd make a pretty good clerk, maybe, if you had a little more sense!' "He looked at me for a minute with a sort of half smile. 'Didn't it ever occur to you, Mr. Brown,' he said, 'that if I had a little more sense I wouldn't be a clerk at all?'"—Chicago Record-Herald. The Right View. "I'm at liberty to have one-sided views," insisted the pessimist. "Of course," agreed the optimist, "but it wouldn't hurt you to look on the bright side occasionally." The Wrong Iowa City. Yesterday a guest at the Savoy hotel called the office on the house 'phone, says Bide Dudley in the Denver Post. One of the bellboys answered. "Can you let me have a davenport in this room?" asked the guest. "Wait; I'll see," was the reply. The bellboy then went to the clerk. "Say, Mr. Tudor," he said, "the man in 668 wants to know if he can have a Des Molnes in his room." LIQUOR WAR AT ATLANTIC CITY GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY MAY CALL OUT TROOPS TO ENFORCE LIQUOR STATUTES. GRAND JURY FAILURE DENOUNCED BY COURT FOR RE FUSING TO DO THEIR SWORN DUTY. Atlantic City, N. J.—The action of Governor Fort in threatening to send troops into this famous resort to enforce the state liquor statutes unless the people of Atlantic City observe the law caused a sensation Thursday among the residents and summer visitors. Another sensation was sprung at May's Landing, the county seat of Atlantic county, when the grand jury absolutely refused to obey the instructions of the court to return indictments against excise violators. Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, who had been requested by Governor Fort to sit with the county judge, was so incensed at the action of the grand jury that he instantly discharged it with a severe reprimand. The governor's proclamation was not wholly unexpected, as there had been rumors for days that he would resort to the calling out of the militia if necessary to enforce the excise laws. Assistant District Attorney Gaskill, who is here assisting County Prosecutor Goldenburg in the excise cases, says the governor can call out the troops, although it is an unusual proceeding. The governor's power to declare martial law, he declares, cannot be questioned. Sheriff Johnson of Atlantic county, Mayor Story of Atlantic City and County Prosecutor Goldenburg refuse to discuss the situation. Last Sunday the saloons and cafes, with but few exceptions, conducted business as usual. When the grand jury came into court Thursday Justice Trenchard addressed it as follows: "I understand that all cases have been presented to you. I have sent for you in order that the clerk may take the indictments." When asked by the clerk if the jury had any indictments to present, Joseph W. Salus, foreman of the jury, said that it had no indictments and that it had not considered all the cases presented. Justice Trenchard then said that the court would sit until indictments were found in the excise cases, and the jury retired. This caused a mild sensation, as it indicated that the court intended to bring matters to head. The jurors returned late in the afternoon and presented three indictments, two against an alleged gambling house and one against a man charged with selling improper postal cards. Justice Trenchard read the bills of indictment and finally threw them on his desk and said: "I notice that you have not presented any indictments for the illegal sale of liquor on Sunday. The assistant attorney general of the state and the prosecutor of the county have informed the court that they have placed before the jury evidence which justifies indictments in such cases. "As no indictments have been found, it seems to be an indication that this grand jury has failed in the performance of its duty. "The court is forced to say that, considering the instructions of the court, the state of the law and the evidence presented, you grand jurors have failed in the performance of your duty and have violated your oaths of office to the state of New Jersey. You are discharged for the term." Foreman Salus instantly arose and took exception to the remarks of the court. National Rifle Contest Prizes. Camp Perry, Ohio.—The United States team won the national trophy and the $300 offered by Congress by winning the United States army rifle team match Wednesday. The infantry's score was 3,224. The second prize, the Hilton trophy, and $200 cash, went to the navy team which scored 3,210. A score of 3,180 made by the cavalry team gave the cavalry third place, the bronze trophy, "the soldier of Marathon," and $150 in cash. The marine corps was fourth with 3,117 and won $100 in cash. Fifth place and $75 in cash was won by the Wisconsin team with a score of 3,073 which also heads the national guard teams. Young Roosevelt Stops Runaway. Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Kermit Roosevelt, who is to accompany his father, President Roosevelt, on his hunting trip to African jungles next year, displayed his courage and his skill as a horseman Thursday afternoon. On horseback he pursued for more than a mile a pair of runaway blooded horses, dragging behind them a carriage in which was a helpless woman and her two little sons, and by stopping the runaway at the risk of serious injury to himself, undoubtedly saved the three lives. The driver, Frank Hilton, a New York business man, had been thrown from the vehicle. Augusta, Ga.—Flood waters at Augusta began receding Thursday afternoon. They reached the height of forty feet, probably as high as the flood of 1888. Rain has ceased in the upper valley, and there is no danger of further losses. The loss approximates $750,000 to $1,000,000 and consists of damage to stocks of goods and private property, destruction of the wagon and railroad bridges across the Savannah river and breaks in the canal banks. There are dependent on the canal for power eight large and small cotton mills. There have been ten to fifteen drownings, mostly negro laborers. COLORADO ITEMS Denver men have incorporated the Longmont Oil and Gas Company to drill wells in Boulder and Weld counties. In its reports the Colorado Springs health department bases its percentages on an estimated population of 32,000. The Delta County Fair Association is erecting a commodious exhibition hall 40x120 feet, which will be modern throughout. The fair will be held at Delta September 9th to 11th. W. R. Hamilton of Douglas, Wyo., was arrested by Game Warden John Williams at Estes Park and fined $25 and costs for catching and keeping fish under seven inches long. As the result of a movement started several months ago, the Colorado Manufacturers' Association has effected the organization of an anti-mail-order bureau and has started an active campaign against the purchase by Colorado people of mail order goods from eastern houses. J. M. Allen, a St. Louis capitalist, has purchased the Thompson ranch on Mitchell creek, near the Glenwood Springs fish hatchery, three miles west of the city, and expects to convert the property into a country club. Among the features connected with the club will be a private fish hatchery. Governor Buchtel has issued an unconditional pardon to Lou Weir, found guilty of conducting a disorderly house in North Longmont, March 17th last, upon the recommendation of some of the most prominent people in Boulder county. The man's health has been impaired, it is said, because of his five months' confinement in the county jail. Suit has been filed with the District Court at Boulder by the Eldorado Springs Resort Company against J. E. Lighthourn and Thomas Potter and the Gilpin Independent Mining Company of Gilpin, a small station on the Moffat road near Rollins, in which the complainants aver that the waters of South Boulder creek are being polluted by the tailings and refuse from the mill at Gilpin. Bonds of $230,000 were voted at Fort Morgan August 25th on the San Arroya irrigation district, which comprises the land lying adjacent to the San Arroya creek, as well as a large acreage in the vicinity of Vallery. Most of it has been taken up as desert land and all locators are desirous of seeing an irrigation system developed. It is believed that the storage of floods will furnish abundance of water. Colorado lumber men who expect to attend the annual Hoo Hoo concatenation at Chicago, September 9th, are planning to leave Denver September 6th on a special car. It is the plan of the delegates to land the next concatenation for Denver, thus celebrating exactly one decade since it was held in Colorado before. The Hoo Hoo now has a membership of over 21,000, a vast increase since 1899. The need of a scenic mountain drive suitable for automobiles and its possibilities as a drawing card for the tourist trade was discussed at a meeting of the Fort Collins chamber of commerce. Plans are under way for such a route up Rist Canon, over Stove Prairie hill, down the Buckhorn to Loveland. It is estimated that the cost of such a road will be between $5,000 and $10,000. A committee was appointed to go over the route and report. What is considered one of the most comprehensive exhibits ever made by the state of Colorado will be sent to the National Irrigation Congress which will open September 29th at Albuquerque, N. M. Practically every line of endeavor in the state, from manufacturing to farming, will be in the display. Special exhibits will be sent from the San Luis and Arkansas valleys. The exhibits are being gathered and arranged by the Colorado Manufacturers' Association. In order to accommodate exhibitors who desire to take their displays to the state fair at Pueblo the week after they have shown them at the Interstate fair in Denver, the Colorado Railway Associations has agreed to extend the time limit on the exhibitors' tickets, making it possible for the holders to go and come on the original transportation. It was agreed, further that the selling dates for low rate tickets to the Pueblo fair will be September 13th-18th. Colorado Springs surveyors have begun surveys for the first of a chain of four big city reservoirs on the Crowe land near Green Mountain Falls, on which Colorado Springs has an option. The first reservoir will have a capacity of nearly 1,000,000 gallons, and will cost $150,000. The other reservoirs will hold 750,000,000,500,000,000 and 200,000,000 gallons respectively and their cost will be in proportion. The Empire Water and Power Company is contesting the pos The Golden Savings Bank has been incorporated to open a new bank at Golden with a capital of $25,000. The incorporators are Jesse W. Rubey, president of the Shawnee W, Okla., National bank, and formerly connected with the Woods-Rubey National bank of Golden and Richard Broad, Jr., and Paul Ficht of Golden. At a meeting of the Las Animas County Good Roads' Association at Trinidad, the Sunflower Valley Farmers' Association announced that it would put up the funds and do the work on a new road between Hochne and El Moro. Acting Governor Harper has appointed J. P. Hall of Denver, Ben Preston of Tinnnath, W. K. Winterhalter of Rocky Ford and Frank Kreybell of Las Animas as supplementary members of the Colorado delegation which has been appointed to represent Colorado at the National Irrigation congress, which is to be held in Albuquerque in December. Boulder property owners are taking steps to organize a local plate glass insurance company. The proposed company is to be a mutual assessment company and the business confined to Boulder. SHOT IN DENVER BY A HORSE THIEF WHOM HE IS TRYING TO ARREST. CAPTURE OF SUSPECT NARROWLY ESCAPES LYNCHING BY FURIOUS MOB OF POLICE FORCE Denver.—In an attempt to stop a mounted man at the corner of East Evans and South Emerson streets at 9:05 o'clock Tuesday night, Policeman William P. Stephens was shot and almost instantly killed by a suspected horse thief. Six shots were exchanged by the patrolman and his antagonist and the horse of the latter is believed to be wounded. Policeman Stephens had been detailed to investigate a burglary in the neighborhood. He left the University Park car at the corner where the shooting later took place. The motorman of the car saw Stephens stop a mounted man, leading two bay horses. His car then turned a corner and a minute later he heard six shots in quick succession. Neighbors aroused by the fusillade hurried to the scene. They could then hear the sound of hoof beats in the distance, and several claim to have distinguished clearly the groan of a horse. The dying policeman was found lying in the center of the road, which is surrounded by high embankments, and directly in the light of an arc lamp. A large force of patrolmen and detectives was at once summoned and was soon on the ground with automobiles. Early Wednesday morning J. B. Portes, a suspected horse thief, was arrested by Detectives Rinker and Cole at his home near University Park. He complained to the police that he had suffered the loss of a horse the night before. Information was obtained that John Bradley, a man of alleged doubtful character, who had roomed at Portes' home, had been missing since Tuesday night. Portes was sent to jail charged with investigation, and the nets of the entire police department were put out to apprehend Bradley. Bradley was overtaken and captured near Sullivan by Detectives Leyden and Kennedy. Wednesday night, when the prisoner was being taken to a cell by a side door from Chief Hamilton Armstrong's private office a large crowd of patrolmen waiting for the night run jumped upon him. The man cried for help, Detectives Leyden and Kennedy, Chief Armstrong, Captain Carter, Ambulance Driver Baker and several patrolmen made a ring about him. Bradley was struck to the floor. He was jerked to his feet and was dragged away toward the jail. Cries of "Lynch him" arose. Maddened patrolmen struck at their superior officers who were protecting the prisoner. Revolvers were leveled at the man's stomach, and only the fear of killing others kept itching fingers from dealing out death. Bradley was dragged bodily to the jail, located in a steel tank and there, grasping the bars in fright, refused to come out to be interviewed until a dozen detectives present assured him that his life would be spared. Fearing further violence Bradley was about 10 o'clock taken to the county jail. Bradley has refused to admit the murder, but the officers assert that the circumstantial evidence against him is very strong and they have no doubt of his guilt. Lost in the Mountains. Estes Park, Colo.—Weak from privation after wandering for two days in the mountains, Judge R. E. Rombauer of St. Louis, seventy-four years old, reached the Drake postoffice Wednesday morning, scarcely able to speak. Rombauer, who is well known in St. Louis as a jurist and author, left a party of friends who had ascended to Hallett's glacier on Monday afternoon. He wandered away from his friends and he had been lost in the mountains since that time. Judge Rombauer stated that he continued to walk during the night, fearing that if he rested he would be frozen to death. Searching parties numbering over a hundred persons were out looking for him and it took considerable time to notify them all after he was found. The contract for the erection of the Fremont county jail has been let to Alderman U. S. Okey of Canon City for $17,176 and work will soon be commenced. The Knights Templar of Colorado at the conclave in Pueblo, August 26th, decided to hold the next annual conclave at Boulder. The following officers were elected: Grand commander, John H. Guilfoil of Trinidad; deputy grand commander, M. H. Dean, Glenwood Springs; generalissimo, George Vallery, Denver; captain general, Frank P. Tanner, Ouray; senior warden, C. J. Hart, Pueblo; junior warden, J. W. Ohl, Pueblo; grand prelate, F. L. Bishop, Denver; grand treasurer, Charles H. Jacobson, Denver; grand recorder, W. D. Pierce, Denver. The University of Denver has elected Dr. William C. Bauer to the chair of physics and electric engineering and Dr. O. E. Staff to the chair of romance languages. Dr. Bauer succeeds the late Dr. James Westhaver and Dr. Staff succeeds Dr. H. A. Barklay, resigned. The fall term begins September 9th. "I want you to find me a husband, a good man, and a white man, because I am white." Thus begins an unknown woman in a letter addressed to the postmaster at Denver. The letter comes from McKeesport, Pa., and has for a signature the words "Box 5." NATURE AND A WOMAN'S WORK MARY C. Nature and a woman's work combined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes: "Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ill. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. Deaths of Presidents. Washington's death was due to acute laryngitis; Adams, Madison and Monroe, practically to old age; Jefferson, chronic diarrhea; John Quincy Adams, paralysis; Jackson, dropsy; VaVn Buren, catarrhal affections of the throat and lungs; William Henry Harrison, pleurisy; Tyler, cause of death not given by biographers; Polk, cholera; Taylor, cholera morbus, combined with a severe cold; Fillmore, paralysis; Pierce, dropsy; Buchanan, rheumatic gout; Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, assassinated; Johnson, paralysis; Grant, cancer at the root of the tongue; Hayes, neuralgia of the heart; Arthur, heart trouble, and Benjamin Harrison, pneumonia. India's Savings Banks. The postal savings bank of India was established in 1882, in which year the depositors numbered 39,121 and the deposits amounted to $92,243. In 1907 the depositors numbered 1,190,220 and the deposits amounted to $49,223,283, which, perhaps, should not be considered large in a country having a population of some 300,000,000, but the average Indian farmer, mechanic, servant or laborer never deposits money in a bank, but hides it away in a pot or box in the ground.—New York World.

KERN ACCEPTS NOMINATION FORMAL NOTIFICATION BY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE AT INDIANAPOLIS. POWER IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DETERMINED THAT THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT RULE. Indianapolis.—John Worth Kern, Democratic candidate for vice president, was notified formally Tuesday of his nomination by the national convention at Denver and accepted the honor in a speech to 15,000 people. The notification speech was made by Theodore A. Bell of California, chairman of the committee selected at Denver to officially inform Mr. Kern. William J. Bryan, candidate for president, was present and spoke at length on the subjects of trusts. The meeting was called to order by Thomas Taggart, member of the national committee from Indiana, who relinquished the gavel to Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, chairman of the national committee, who presided throughout the meeting. Twenty members of the notification committee represented as many states at the meeting. Special trains on the railroad and traction lines brought the crowds here, and 500 street cars were used to transport the people to and from the fair grounds. The day was ideal. Crowds lined the streets, and Bryan was greeted with a continuous wave of applause as he passed. Mr. Kern's speech was in part a reply to the speech of acceptance delivered at Utica by Mr. Sherman, Republican candidate for vice president. He devoted some time to the question, "Shall the People Rule?" deprecating what he claims is excessive power in the hands of the speaker of the House of Representatives and denied that the people have ruled, because he said that their will had not been given effect. He charged that there is a power within the Republican party determined that the people shall not rule, which power has manifested itself whenever effort has been made to check destructive work of unlawful combinations, reduce the tariff, or equalize burdens by exchange. The Democratic party, he said, would draw a sharp line between lawful business lawfully conducted and unlawful business. He denounced as un-American Speaker Cannon's gag rule, and followed this by the sensational charge that the Republicicans are circulating two kinds of campaign literature—advertising Taft in the East as a conservative, and in the West as a true follower of Roosevelt. Speaking of the head of the ticket, Mr. Kern said: "A distinguished Republican the other day referred to his influence with his party as a one-man power. If by that he meant to say that Mr. Bryan possessed the power, in a marked degree, to influence the thought and arouse the conscience of the republic as no other man of his time, or if he meant that by his upright life, his consistent course, his appeals for right living, and patriotic action, he has earned the confidence and personal affection of millions of his countrymen, and gained the respect and admiration of all the people of the world who love liberty and humanity—then the distinguished gentleman was right, with respect to the one-man power of William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Kern alluded to Mr. Sherman's attitude on the tariff question and said: "Every legitimate business interest in the country is demanding tariff reform "The manufacturer who is not a monopolist is demanding cheaper raw materials and wider markets for his products. "The workingman understands that a restricted market means fireless furnaces and enforced idleness. He knows that American workmen, with their superior intelligence and ingenuity, with their improved machinery, with cheap raw materials and earning for their employers more than twice as much as the laborers of any other country, have nothing to fear from competition with workmen anywhere. "The American working man has had bitter experiences under the operation of the Dingley bill. "Under the shelter of this tariff wall, trusts and combines have sprung up on every hand, and with extortionate prices confront the consumer on every occasion when he seeks to buy the necessaries of life. "Under this system the cost of living so increased as to absorb the earnings of the laborer, after the most rigid economy and self-denial on his part and that of his family. And it is a noteworthy fact when, as an inevitable result of the fiscal policy of the Republican party, the panic of 1907 came, hundreds of thousands of these American laborers who were thrown out of employment, instead of being able to draw upon the fabulous savings bank accounts so exploited in political literature in recent campaigns, found themselves and families in a state of destitution." Bryan On Trusts. Indianapolis.—In his speech at the Kern notification Mr. Bryan said: "Because the private monopoly is defensible and intolerable, the Democratic party favors its extermination. The Democratic party does not content itself with a definition of the wrong or with a denunciation of it. It proceeds to outline remedies. The first is a law preventing a duplication of directors among competing corporations. The license system presents an easy way of regulating such corporations as need federal regulation. CASE AGAINST STANDARD OIL ATTORNEY GENERAL BONAPARTE PETITIONS COURT OF AP PEALS FOR REHEARING. ALLEGES THAT JUDGE GROSS CUP'S DECISION ERRRS AS TO STATUTES AND EVIDENCE. Chicago.—The government's petition for a rehearing by the United States Court of Appeals of the case against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was filed Friday and represents, it is stated, the administration's attempt to save the Elkin's act and the Interstate Commerce law from becoming futile. The filing of the petition marked the appearance of Attorney General Bonaparte in the case, as well as that of Frank B. Kellogg, who is a special assistant to the attorney general. Besides these two names the petition is signed by Edwin W. Sims, United States district attorney at Chicago, and Special Assistant James H. Wilkerson, both of whom presented the government's side of the case in the original hearing before Judge Landis, who administered the famous fine of $29,240,000 against the defendant. "May a concern, which through corporate organization and railroad favoritism has established a gigantic monopoly in a territory with a population of millions and concentrated a business many thousand times as large as that carried on b, the ordinary citizen, plead in mitigation of punishment when called to account for its violations of the law, that the number of offenses which it has committed and for which it is required to answer, has been in proportion to the magnitude of its business" This is the question which Attorney General Bonoparte and associate counsel put squarely to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in their petition for a rehearing of the case against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. "Is this court to be understood," the petition asks, "as announcing the rule that in case it does not agree with the trial judge as to the amount of punishment which should have been imposed, the sentence will be reversed on the ground that it was an abuse of judicial discretion? "Every day defendants are fined many times more than the value of all the property they possess. "Is the principle different because the amount involved is measured by hundreds of dollars in one case and by millions in the other?" The profits of the oil company, $33,583,208 in four years, are cited as amply justifying Judge Landis in doing precisely what he did. The petition says: "The trial judge did that which is done in every criminal case. He sought to inform himself as to who the defendant was; as to whether the crime committed embraced more of wickedness than the indictment charged; or, whether on the other hand, there were circumstances of mitigation." The petition asks: "May a shipper successfully plead ignorance of the lawful rate, when that ignorance is the result of his own negligence or of his failure to avail himself of the sources of knowledge at his command?" To permit such a defense, the petition says, "is to make of the law a mere will-o-the-wisp of legislation, a phantom statute destitute of strength or substance." In conclusion, the government directs attention to the following contents: "That the opinion of this court is based upon a misconception of the record with reference to the rulings of the trial judge as to the admission of evidence tending to show want of knowledge, and with reference to his construction of the statute on uat subject, and the theory on which the case was tried. "That the interpretation of the statute by this court, imposing no duty on the shipper and permitting a defense of ignorance to be made without regard to the negligence of the shipper, is contrary to the language of the statute and to its purpose and seriously impairs the efficiency of the act. "That the criticism of the trial judge for abuse of discretion rests upon a wrong assumption of what the trial judge actually did and assumes that he attempted to try and punish the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. "That the ruling stated in the opinion to the effect that a fine is excessive when it exceeds in amount the ability of the defendant to pay is an innovation in criminal law. "That, in short the opinion as it stands erroneously states material portions of the record; does injustice to the trial judge; leaves doubtful in a new trial the rule of law to be applied, both as to knowledge on the part of the shipper, and as to the number of offenses; appears to be in conflict with the language of the Supreme Court and with the previous language of the presiding judge of this court, and with the great weight of legal authority; and, if permitted to remain unmodified, will tend to encourage disobedience to law, to impede the enforcement of salutary statutes and largely to defeat their purpose." Denver.—At Littleton Wednesday District Judge Ashbaugh rendered a decision in the slot machine cases selzed at Petersburg Aug. 9th, ordering their destruction by the sheriff. Judge Ashbaugh decided that the money should be taken from the machines and the machines destroyed. Attorney Hilton was granted fifteen days to take the case to the Supreme Court. The ten machines ordered destroyed are valued at about $200 each. The machines occupy a cell in the county jail, where they will probably remain until time for the bonfire.

THE future welfare of the Colored people of the United States rests largely upon the interpretation and execution of those wise laws which the builders of this nation established for the equitable government of a free people. The constitution of the United States is the bulwark in which is grounded the legal rights and the personal security of every citizen. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest and final authority to which citizens may appeal for the establishment or maintenance of those constitutional rights which the founders intended to be common to every citizen. That the deliberations of the Supreme Court of the United States (or any other court, in fact), should not be subject to political influence, goes without saying, and that such a court should not be swayed by any human prejudice or passion inconsistent with the fundamental law, is just as patent to every man who respect good and righteous government; but past experience has shown us that upon many questions of human rights, which involved alone the legal status of the Colored citizen, the decisions of the Supreme Court have been what they would never have been if all parties concerned had been white, and around these decisions have always been cast a suspicion of political bias or racial prejudice repugnant to every true idea of justice. ```markdown ``` Upon the next President of the United States will devolve the unusual duty of almost re-organizing the Supreme Court. The retiring age for Supreme Justices will have been reached or passed by a majority of the members of the Supreme Court bench with the next three years. Seven Circuit Court justices and five District Court justices are expected to retire during the next administration. So far as the interests of Colored Americans are concerned, the characters of the men who will be appointed to fill these vacancies may be judged best by their political tendencies. Do the Negroes of the United States want a Democratic Supreme Court? Do they want a majority of the entire federal jurisdiction to pass into the hands of the Democrats? The realization of just such a condition has been the long-cherished aim of southern politicians of the race-reducing stripe. Will the Negroes of the United States take the chances of aiding the realization of this dream of Southern Democracy by voting the Democratic ticket? Or will they awake to the danger impending, and avert it, regardless of other issues, by arraying their forces in support of William H. Taft and the Republican ticket? A NEAR JUSTICE POLICY reme tension created in a community by these seems to deprive many justice-loving members spectacle of law-abiding, responsible busi- fy regarding facts known to them, and wwy to indict guilty participants in a mob wwd destroyed valuable property, is one whi spect for the law or increase any citizen and reliability of our form of government. after the Atlanta riots faced a more so THE extreme tension created in a community by a vast mob of race rioters seems to deprive many justice-loving men of their usual courage. The spectacle of law-abiding, responsible business men hesitating to testify regarding facts known to them, and which they know to be necessary to indict guilty participants in a mob which has taken human life and destroyed valuable property, is one which does not inspire great respect for the law or increase any citizen's faith in the vital strength and reliability of our form of government. The men who restored order after the Atlanta riots faced a more serious situation than that existing at Springfield, recently, because of more bitter race feeling under normal conditions. While conditions may have been complicated by politics, to some extent, at Springfield, it appears to the outsider that many responsible men who wanted order restored, were afraid to testify openly and clearly against murderous law-breakers, because of the resentment and perhaps restitution which mob members or mob sympathizers might visit upon them or their establishments. Up to the beginning of the present week, the special grand jury at Springfield had returned fifty indictments in connection with the recent riots there, but at least twenty of these are against Negroes for murderous assault, while those against white men are almost entirely for the destruction of property. Only one indictment charging murder has been returned, and the alleged murderer is a Negro. Of the hundreds of whites who participated in the lynching of numerous innocent Negroes right in the heart of Springfield, not one has been indicted for murder. It was easy, however, to get evidence against the Negroes and to indict them for the gravest offenses, which would not have been committed at all if the white mob had not first begun its work. The remedy for mobs is not to be found in the punishment of would-be victims of the mobs who have retaliated against their persecutors or supposed persecutors with a viciousness aroused by their own danger. The remedy lies in the fearless demonstration that the law and the courts must be the absolute and sole apprehenders and punishers of criminals. Along with the Negroes who committed unnecessary crimes, even in self-defence, should be corralled unrelentingly as many of the white mob leaders and their followers as the best detective service can find, and not one of them, for any reason, should be allowed to escape the responsibility of his acts. N AMERICAN woman, already a philosopher, still a bit of a Puritan, suggests this definition of flirtation: "It is," says she, "the sentimental association of the two sexes in a land where the man does not dominate the woman." One could not put it better, if flirtation were only a conversation. But between the conversation which is quite pure and the conversation which is called criminal, because it is a breach of the vows the married woman has made, there is the conversation—what shall I call it?—the venial conversation, in which the dialogue is cut up by silences. And for such flirtations a discreet and terrible definition has been found, infinitely vague and infinitely precise—at least, you know it?—and so in this I am not passing across your illusions like a too hot wind mixing the earth of the garden with the purity of the frozen snow: "All?" That is understood. "Except all?" That is also understood. It is the pleasure of the lion tamer. You have seen them, as I have, those daring women who with look and with whip attack the roaring lion. Doubtless they would not approach the beast in the desert, where he has the certainty of his royalty and the experience of his strength. They tempt fortune only with a subject with whom they have long been familiar and who, born in the menagerie, is ignorant of the respect that is his due. Just the same, like temptresses they dare him with a little dizziness behind their boldness to see what is going to happen. Soon they tire of making him give his paw and jump through rings. They open his mouth, they plunge their rash little heads into those devouring jaws. I know. I know; they count upon their presence of mind to withdraw themselves from peril at the right moment. But the jaws of lions are made to close upon what is put into them, and universal experience teaches us that occasionally as soon as pretty tamers introduce their charming heads into the mouth of Sultan, suddenly Sultan closes his crushing machine upon the temptation he could not resist. We have ascertained that all the men in the United States seem to belong to one class—they are all men who have hopes! In the same way, passing from factory to office, from office to college, from college to society, we ascertain that all the women of the United States are of the same essence. They are not born, as with us, peasants, artisans, shop girls, young bourgeoises, heiresses to castles. They are born purely and simply Americans. It is one and the same seed falling upon different soils. Transplantation from a poor soil to a rich soil is enough to turn a honeysuckle into one of those large, double, heavy-petaled roses which are called "American Beauties." Now, the quality, the distinctive mark which these "American Beauties" owe to their seed, itself unique, is woman question is by no means new. Prehistoric woman, it may safely be assumed, was already in the movement, and the remains of embryonic forms of modern Suffragettes have certainly been found amongst the fossils of the Silurian strata. There is no "new woman" under the sun. Woman has always been the spoiled child of the planet. Like all spoiled children, she is now a thorn in the side of those who cherished and loved her when all the world was young. Poets, who are seldom men of the world, painters, who are generally experts in the flesh, and novelists, who make copy out of the Prince of Darkness himself, all have conspired to give to woman a collossal conceit of herself. They have rather overdone the adulation of their own especial heroines, and even the best of women have found it a hard task to endeavor to live up to their ideals. The poet's woman was always so very, very good, that compared with her, the average woman was positively horrid. The painter's ideal endowed woman with a beauty and glamour that was positively unearthly. Did any one ever see any woman like those so presented on canvas presented at court or any other purely mundane function? Alas! those beauties of the brush are as seldom met with in fact or in Fleet street as the palpitating creations of the poet's pen. It is nevertheless clear that woman has taken herself at the valuation put upon her by the virtuosi in paint and printer's ink. She prides herself, therefore, on her having just stepped out of her gilded frame, or escaped from the oppressive atmosphere of a six-shilling "shocker," to see how things are bogging along in our drab and prosaic world. A goddess thus descending, as it were, from the clouds, is always a condescending goddess. So we have become accustomed to be patronized by the printed woman and plagued by the painted one. But in our heart of hearts we have long ago plumped for the plain woman, who has been neither printed, painted, nor puffed into an undue estimate of her merely human attributes. This is, after all, the kind of woman whose place in Nature is in the hearts of men. tion of affairs which could not be altered and which it only could be hoped to make the best of. Divorce was so unusual as to be considered as scarcely short of disgrace, and the woman who had children, for those children's sake would endure to the limit of strength and of life rather than resort to its help. Moreover, it was regarded by our ancestors merely as a matter of what they called "proper pride" that dirty linen should be washed in private behind locked doors and drawn blinds. When a man or woman awakes to the bitter consciousness that marriage is not all that fancy imagined it would be; when the beloved falls short of fond expectations and the sharp pang of disillusionment is felt, the brave thing to do is not to give way to vain and fruitless regret, to weep and to wail; still less to utter reproaches, which do harm rather than good; but to hide the sad fact, if such concealment is possible, and valiantly to set to work to make the best of things; to gather up the fragments of the broken idol and piece them together as well as may be.

It scarcely is to be denied that there is more talk about it. Our foremothers and forefathers sometimes made sad mistakes in marriage, but as a rule they kept the fact of their having done so as far as possible to themselves. Marriage in those days was regarded as final and as practically indissoluble.

Three Certain Truths. If the Bible had never been written there are still three things that the universe has stamped indelibly on the mind of man, wherever the Bible prevails and wherever it does not. Those three things are the idea of God, the conviction of moral accountability, the belief in a life beyond the grave. It is the glory of our English Bible and it is the glory of the Christian religion that they have expressed and embodied these fundamental inescapable ideas in a way that transcends all other records and all other incarnations of truth. 1845 Arapahoe St. J.

The sad news has been received in this city of the sudden death of Mrs. Eliza Hickman who died August 11, 1908, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Biluw, at Junction City, Kansas.

GEO. C. SAMPLE, Chairman of Committee. HENRY BANKS. A. R. BUTLER. TOO COARSE, YOUR SINS HAVE FOUND YOU OUT. On Saturday, the 22nd inst., quite a large number of our fellow citizens (to nine-tenths of whom special invitations had been extended), met at 1712 Curtis street, to what was supposed to have been a conference of colored voters. The temporary chairman so stated, as did the committee on resolutions. But the committee on address, headed by Mr. Thomas Campbell, reported that we in convention assembled, etc., mind you, no call had been issued for a convention, nor had any delegates been elected. Yet to make matters worse, he stated that the address would be sent broadcast, and that it would sound better and carry more weight. Attorney Townsend of Pueblo criticized him for attempting as he termed it to deceive the party leaders—notwithstanding his protest the conference, convention and league, for it made a rapid transformation in all of these, decided that the word convention should stand. There must have been a mistake made in the call for more than ninety-seven per cent. of those present from Denver were job holders and out of a large number of women voters only one was present, and she holds a position under the state administration. Don't this show the fake method to be crowned the Moses by those who had been invited? If, "as it is claimed," that invitations were sent out to the colored voters in Denver and such a small number attended, "of course, those holding jobs and positions accepted," there can be but little faith in the man who called the conference, and who by his free transportation friends was not only made chairman of the conference, but by Mr. Campbell's address, president of the convention, and the committee on permanent organization, president of the league formed as pre-arranged in order to give Mr. Jackson a standing with the state organization. Do you see the point? Let us be frank in this matter. The colored voters of Denver are as intelligent as can be found anywhere, and to vote to keep somebody else in a good position, to be bossed by them, was clearly demonstrated by the contempt in which they treated the invitation to attend the meeting. Many who attended declared that the work was too coarse, and those who refused to attend merely wrote: "Your sins will find you out." A VOTER. PENDENNIS CLUB RECEPTION. Denver summer social season is closing with a series of magnificent receptions. Following on the beautiful Dishman reception of a few weeks ago at Dania hall, The Pendennis Club received their friends from 2 to 5 p.m. Dania hall never looked more beautiful. Cut and potted flowers in graceful profusion lent a charm to the room that reflected a refinement of taste highly appreciated in the gentlemen. The program, fully carried out, was brilliant and highly entertaining. This is the initial reception given by The Pendennis Club and its brilliant success is a guarantee of future public favor. This club is made up of Denver's most promising young men. Everybody is invited to go with the Building Laborers No. 1 of Denver to Dome Rock, Labor Day, Monday, September 7.

Edison to Mark Twain. Thomas A. Edison paid a very pretty compliment to Mark Twain at a dinner of the Engineers' club to Andrew Carnegie.

Postmaster General Meyer, discuss- ing the new two-cent letter rate to Great Britain, said that it would enor- mously increase the postal business. “The mail bags will fill quickly when this goes into effect,” sald Mr. Meyer. He smiled. “If such a rush of business had attended on the Nola Chucky postoffice, the old Nola Chucky postmaster’s ways would have escaped notice. “Some years ago an old fellow was appointed postmaster of the small vil- lage of Nola Chucky. A number of weeks passed and the Nola Chuckians and their friends began to complain about the mails. And no wonder. The postmaster, it seemed, had sent out no mail since his entrance into office. “An inspector, investigating the mat- ter, pointed to the hundred or more dusty letters that the postmaster had kept by him, and said sternly: “Why on earh, sir, didn’t you let these go?’ ““T was waitin’, said the old man, ‘till the bag got full’.” ‘The Wisdom of the Serpent. “Down in Bermuda,” said a Cincin- natian, “I heard Mark Twain make a speech about snakes to a group of lit- tle girls. The speech was great. The only trouble was that the little girls could not appreciate it. It flew over their heads. “I remember the humorist’s conclus- fon. “Never warm a serpent in your bosom,’ he wound up. ‘It is far easier to warm it by placing it under the pik low of an intimate friend’.” In the September Century.

This deception is still practiced, but we have learned to expose it easily. National Lead Company, the larg- est makers of genuine Pure White Lead, realizing the injustice that was being done to both property owners and honest paint manufacturers, set about to make paint buying safe. They first adopted a trade mark, the now famous “Dutch-Boy Painter,” and put this trademark, as a guaranty of purity, on every package of their White Lead. ‘They then set about familiarizing the public with the Dlow-pipe test by which the purity and genuineness of White Lead may be determined, and furnished a blow- pipe free to every one who would write them for it. This action was in itself a guaranty of the purity of Na- tional Lead Company's White Lead. As the result of this open dealing the paint buyer to-day has only him- self to blame if he is defrauded.

Smoking Car Just the One Old Woman Was Looking For. “Madam,” said the brakeman as the train stopped at a village station and @ little old woman started to enter the smoking car, “the car back is the one you want.” “How do you know?" she tartly asked. 5 “Because this is the smoking car.” She pushed past him and climbed up the steps, and after taking a seat she pulled out and filled a pipe, struck a match on the sole of her shoe, and after drawing a few puffs she sald to man smoking a cigar across the aisle: “That young feller out there don't know half as much as he thinks he does.” “How 80?” was asked. “He took me for an old woman that had never rode on the cars before, and told me this was the: smoking car.” “And you wanted this car?” “Why, I never ride in any other— not unless my pipe is broke, my to- bacco all out and none o’ you men: folks will lend me a cigar.” ONE EXCEPTION. — <>! | 43 mone CS tes SaaS GF ici Easy Edmund—It’s one uv de frail- ties uv our poor human nature dat no matter how much a man gits he wants more.

FRIENDLY TIP Restored Hope and Confidence. After several years of indigestion and its attendant evil influence on the mind, {t {s not very surprising that one finally Joses faith in things gen- erally. AN, ¥. woman writes an interesting letter. She says: “Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left me in a most miserable condition. For over two years I suffered from nerv- ousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc. “My appetite was ravenous, but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food but it did not nourish me because of intestinal indigestion. Med- {eal treatment did not seem to help, I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or dled. “One day a friend asked me why I didn’t try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee, and use Postum. I had lost faith in everything, but to please my friends I began to use both and soon became very fond of them. “It wasn't long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system, hope sprang up in my heart and slowly but surely I got better. I could sleep very well, the constant craving for food ceased and I have better health now than before the at- tack of peritonitis. “My husband and I are still using Grape-Nuts and Postum.” “There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich.

HIS OPINION OF FIELDING. At Least, Only Kind Young Broker Knew Anything About. A young broker in Boston, while vis- iting a certain household in the Hub not long ago, encountered a number of young women graduates whose con- versation suddenly turned to a dis cussion of the development of the English novel. The dealer in stocks and bonds speedily found himself “out of it.” Presently, during a lull, one young woman asked him: “What do you think of Fielding, Mr. Brown?” “Oh, flelding is important, of course,” quickly responded the broker, “but {t isn’t worth much unless you've got good pitchers and men who can hit the ball."—Harper’s Weekly.

The skirt has just a slight fulness at the waist, and rests a little on the ground all the way round. It has a band of wide filet insertion edged with cinnamon linen round the foot. The over-bodice has a round opening; filet lace the same pattern as that on the skirt, and also edged with the cinnamon linen, is put round the opening and the kimone sleeves. The material is finely tucked in front to give fulness; it is worn over an underslip of white swiss muslin. Muslin hat, trimmed with roses and Saxe-blue ribbon. Materials required: Six yards 48 inches wide, five yards wide fillet, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards narrow fillet, one yard cinnamon linen. Nothing could be daintier than spotted muslin for the simple dress depicted in the second illustration. The skirt is plainly gathered into the waist, and trimmed about three inches from the foot with a band of filet lace edged with a crossway band of pale blue glace. The top of the bodice is tucked, and a square of filet edged with silk gives a charming effect. The puffed sleeve is gathered into a lace band edged with silk at the elbow. Straw hat, trimmed with roses and pale blue ribbon. Materials required: Eleven yards muslin 28 inches wide $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards of silk, seven yards lace. Few Minutes Time Daily Will Keep Them in Perfect Trim. When it only takes a few minutes each day and half an hour one day a week to keep the nails looking nice and well groomed it is surprising how many people neglect the nails. In the first place the hands should be scrubbed once a day to keep them clean. Even people who have no manual labor at all to perform with the hands will find that they will become dirty from merely coming in contact with the articles which every one must handle. Wash the hands, especially the knuckles and nails, with a nail brush and warm soap suds until they glow and dry them carefully. Then take a piece of orange wood stick and carefully loosen the cuticle around the nails, being sure to get it all loose, but not to use the stick roughly enough to injure the young nail, for this will produce the white spots which are so ugly on a nail. Then with a scissors and file shape the nails carefully, making them round instead of pointed. If there are any hang-nails they should be carefully snipped away with the scissors, but if the orange wood stick is used every day there will be no hangnails. Then rub a tiny bit of vaseline on the nails and rub it in well. Now cover the chamois skin buffer with the powder polish and rub the nails briskly until the desired amount of "shine" has been produced. Then wash the hands carefully again, pushing back the cuticle which you loosened with the towel. Now rub the nails of one hand on the palm of the other and the shine will reappear. Ten minutes devoted to the nails each day will keep them in perfect trim. The Knell of the "Frou-Frou." The time was when woman was under the despotism of the frilly and the starched. The time was when she delighted in the rustle of her silk and lingerie petticoats and when the latter must be stiff and uncompromising as a brand new college diploma. That was the good old period when woman's approach was as frank as that of a road engine and when the novelist delighted to speak of the frou-frou of his heroine's skirts on the stairs beyond which the expectant hero waited. Nowadays, however, all this is changed. The entry of woman is heralded no longer by a noise akin to signboards in a fierce 'noreaster. No longer is her parting injunction to the lauddress "get everything good and stiff." The clinging dress of this latter day has interrupted the reign of the frou-frou and now skirts must not even murmur to the floor on which they fall. The stiff and sibilant petticoat has indeed gone and in its stead we have undergarments of supple silks and unobtrusive appearance, undergarments that are lithe and sinuous and serpentine. Regulating a Child's Sleep. Regulating a Child's Sleep. It is harder for a child to sleep in summer than it is in winter, just as it is for an older person, and this fact should be remembered when you regulate the hours for sleep. The child should go to bed at seven in the evening when the sun has gone down and the air is cool and should rise at six or half past six for his breakfast and play out of doors until about 11. After his lunch he should sleep from 12 until four and then play outdoors again while the heat is less intense. This should be the daily program of any child between one and one half and six years. Presenting an Outline of the Forth coming Styles. Felt hats are already displayed for the pleasure of persons viewing the forthcoming styles, even though no one cares to buy at present, though interest is manifested in what is promised for the future. The drooping brim or rather straight brim with drooping edge is shown on the sailor types, and the trimming consists of wings, quills and stiff bands of satin, some finely plaited and arranged in graceful bows, supported with wires. Brown and tan shades are noticeable, also the lightest champagne with cream trimmings and mixed tones of blue and green. The first installment is not what might be called elaborate, yet good material gives to each hat a certain charm that is always found in a combination of the richest fabrics, let the article be what it may. Children's hats are not large and the majorley show simple band trimming, buckles and rosettes or ribbon bows and jaunty, short streamers. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Young girl's dress of etamine linen. The skirt forms a long tunic, finished at the bottom with embroidered scallops and trimmed below the hips with a wide band of openwork made of straps of soutache and little buttons. The blouse is trimmed to correspond and is also ornamented with rings and motifs of embroidery. The yoke is of embroidered tulle, the girdle is of liberty. Improvised Baby Bib. There are often occasions, when one is traveling or visiting for instance, when one has no bib for the baby, and the napkin which one must use will not stay in place. It is unsatisfactory to tie the napkin around the baby's neck, for this leaves it bulky and uncomfortable. If a small knot is tied in one corner of the napkin and the knot is slipped under the neck of the child's dress, there will be no danger of the napkin losing its position. The knot must be slipped low enough so that it does not come at the tight part of the neck and thus prove uncomfortable to the child.

Where wood is much used as a fuel, according to Suburban Life, considerable soot collects in the chimney and it is a source of many fires. The chimney should be burnt out once a year, at least, and the work done on a damp day—or it may be swept out. A chimney is burnt out by placing a bundle of straw or similar material in the bottom of the flue and firing it. To sweep out a chimney, a small metal ball about four inches in diameter, is hung on a thin rope and pulled up and down in the chimney until it is clean. When not too high, the chimney can be cleaned by a brush on a jointed pole. In closing a house it is wise to cover the upholstered furniture and carpets with unbleached muslin, and then give everything a generous dusting of powdered moth balls. Cheese crackers are better when made the day they are to be eaten. Use American grated cheese and saltine crackers. For each two tablespoonfuls allow one of creamed butter, rubbing them together till perfectly smooth. Spread evenly on the wafers and set them in a moderate oven to glaze the cheese. Watch carefully to prevent burning. There is nothing nicer to serve with a plain salad. An attractive salad is made by using as many lemons as desired. Wash, then cut in halves and scoop out the pulp. Remove the tough inner skin and seeds, and to the rest add one box of best boneless sardines minced fine, a spoonful of French mustard, two hard-boiled eggs, chopped, a dash of Tabasco sauce, and a little mayonnaise. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of the lemon cup, in order that it may stand firmly. Fill each cup with the mixture; garnish with chopped eggs and a sprig of parsley. Stand each cup on a crisp lettuce leaf. For an appetizing breakfast dish use ripe tomatoes and a little cold broiled or boiled ham. Chop the ham fine, using from a half cup to a cupful, and put it in a saucepan with three solid tomatoes peeled and cut in pieces. Add a half tablespoonful of butter and cook a few minutes, then add two beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly and cook until the eggs are set; season and serve on hot toast; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Sweet Omelette with Apples. Sweet Omelette with Apples. Peel and core four apples, cut them into small bits and fry until tender in a little butter. Beat six eggs without separating, add to them six tablespoonfuls of cool water. Put a lump of butter half the size of an egg in the omelette pan, and when it begins to color whisk the eggs two or three times and pour into the pan. When they begin to set spread the apples over the surface and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Fold the omelette and turn out on a hot platter. Sprinkle with a little more sugar, pour four tablespoonfuls of rum over the whole, and set fire to it at once. Serve immediately after the alcohol has burnt out. —Vogue. Make Hat Bag. Lay a good sized hat on the material you have chosen for the bag, and cut out a circle about three inches wider all around than the hat. Then cut another piece the same size as the hat brim. Bind the smaller with ribbon the same color as the material, and also gather the larger one into a band, having the circumference the same as the smaller circle. Stitch the two together, leaving a gap large enough to put the hat in, and fasten with dress fasteners. This makes a much neater bag than the plain square ones, as there is no draw string to catch on everything and it does not take up so much room. Spots on Wallpaper. The spots that find themselves on wall paper more frequently in summer than at any other time, can be quickly and easily removed by making a stiff dough of graham flour and boiling water. Knead the dough thoroughly and break into small pieces. As each piece is used it should be doubled in on itself so there is a clean surface at each rub. When one piece is soled throw it away and take a fresh one. Always rub the paper in one direction and do not go over the same surface twice. Washing soda can make dishwashing much easier. Sprinkle one teaspoonful in the roasting pan, put in plenty of water, and let boll a few minutes. Even the corners will be found to be free from grease. Covers, frying pans, bread tins, can be cleaned by boiling for a few minutes in this solution. Silver, too, can be cleaned by boiling it a minute or two in a weak solution of washing soda. Rinse in clean, hot water and wipe with soft cloth of chamois. Pfeffer-Nusse or Pepper Nuts. Beat together four eggs and one pound of sugar. Add one tablespoonful cinnamon, one nutmeg grated, one teaspoonful cloves and a teaspoonful baking powder. Beat thoroughly. Add two ounces candied lemon peel, shaved fine, and one pound flour, then knead thoroughly on the molding board. Shape into small balls, lay on buttered paper in tins and bake in a slow oven.
