COLORA PROS Republican Success in vived Business. D The State Cannot cial Deve Now, that one of the most strenuous campaigns in the history of the country is closed, the nation is turning again to business. The success of the Republican ticket in the nation has had most beneficient influence on business. From all parts of the country comes notices of reviving business. Large orders are being placed with our manufacturers, greater numbers of men are being employed each day, and the hours of employment are being increased. This indicates a strong confidence in future action of the Republican party. The success of the Democratic party in Coloraro will not interfere with continued commercial development of the state. The upward impulse given business by the outgoing Republican administration, will be caught up by the incoming party, and Colorado will enjoy continued prosperity. It is rank folly to assume that the men who will assume control of the destinies of the state in January are enemies of progress. They are all largely interested in the financial and material interests of the state. Our growing agricultural interest and the immense mining interest will be protected in their present prosperity and encouragement will be lent to fguture increase of business. What ALL the people of Colorado must do is to talk prosperity. And, not only talk prosperity, but get busy—work. There is much work to do. The increased sugar beet interest needs more workers. Just think one little section of the state will receive over $2,000,000.00 for its crop. All this immense sum will be divided among many farmers and laboring men and will go to enrich that community. With other sections of the state, fruit, potatoes, melons and the many other products, which are adding to the mineral fame of Colorado, there will be a prosperity enjoyed by the producers and laborers of the state heretofore unknown. Here is a most excellent mecca for the downtrodden Negro of the South and the hard, overworked Negro of the northern cities. In this state tracts of land can be purchased on exceptionally reasonable terms. Lands, which if carefully tilled within the --- next ten years will make their holders independent. Great irrigation plants are being built for the purpose of storing and holding sufficient water to meet the increased demands. Increased railway facilities brings the markets of the country to your door. Here the telephone, telegraph, splendid schools, and churches, with a multitude of interesting and instructive newspapers, rob rural life of its dreary loneliness and make life one sweet song. Come on to Colorado and enjoy its continued prosperity. Harmony of the Races. In his lecture at Boston last on "Harmony Between Races," among other things Bishop Gaines said: "The race question will never be settled except along the lines of Christianity, i e , until it is settled right. God has so forced it that there can never be harmony between men unless this harmony is based on mutual rights. "The Colored man asks only to be recognized as a human being with all the rights of one. Many colored men have shown that they can take on themselves the highest civilization and stand shoulder to shoulder with the white man. There is a vast difference between social equality and civil rights—I want civil rights. "The colored man is tired of being used by men to obtain office and of being left on the outside of the temple of liberty. The colored man must do his part. He must not be suspicious and withhold his confidence from white brothers as many of them are worthy of it. The colored man should emphasize the social purity of the race. Ex-Slave Woman's $50,000 Estate Contested. New Orleans, Nov. 5—A fight for a $50,000 estate left by a wealthy Tennessee planter to his common-law wife, an ex-slave, was begun in the civil district court here, with the filing of a suit by Mrs. Jane B. Holt Barrett, wife of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1908. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing The RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, John A. Barrett of Murfreesboro, Tenn., seeking to have the court declare null and void a will that was filed for probate by Frank Walker. On May 4, 1860, Rufus K. Flack of Murfreesboro executed a deed of trust in which Mrs. Virginia Rufus Davis, one of his slaves, was constituted the life tenent of $50,000. Mrs. Davis died July 29, in New Orleans, and Frank Walker subsequently caused himself to be placed in possession of her estate through a will dated Oct. 19, 1904. The petitioners represented that the Walker will is void and that Mrs. Barrett will produce a will showing she is the legitimate heir when the case is called. GRAND JUNCTION COLO. SMITHEA-NEWMAN NUPTIALS. One of the most fashionable social events of the early social season was the marriage of Mr. Chas. De Smithea of Denver to Miss Annie Newman. The wedding occurred October 28th at the home of the bride. Extensive preparations had been made for the very happy event. The beautiful home was transformed by festoons of cut flowers and smilax into a veritable fairyland. The parlor was a scheme in red roses. From the ceiling hung a canopy of roses, over an alter of white satin on which rested the dove of peace. Promptly at 8 o'clock the beautiful strains of Mendelsshons Wedding march sounded through the house. The bride elegantly attired decended the stairs leaning on the arm of her father and accompanied by her maid of honor, Miss Newman. In the reception hall the groom and his best man Mr. Spencer Smithea accompanied by Mrs. Newman, joined the bride, from thence they proceeded to the alter. The Rev. Forsyth conducted the ring ceremonies. The bride was attired in an elegant gown of white French Veiling and carried a shower boquet of bridal roses. The maid of honor in white net de rprit over white silk and carried a handsome boquet of white cernations. Supper was served in the back parlor and the dining room, the table decorations being pink and white. Mr. and Mrs. Smithea will be at home after Nov. 15th at 1770 Race street, Denver. The guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Pryor, Mr. and Mrs. J. Hinds, Mr. and Mrs. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, Rev. Brown, T. Charleston, Dr. E. F. Eldridge, Edward Eldridge, Spencer Smithea, Denver, J. M. Price, W. Jones, A. C. Newman, Mrs. L. Gilbert, Oakland, Calif., Mrs. Savags, Denver, Mrs. Smithea, Denver, Mrs. McGruder, Mrs. F.

The suit is for pay during the time of his enlistment. The verdict of the circuit court of southern New York was against him. George E. Taylor of the Ottumwa police force was in Buxton police force was in Buxton on Monday meeting many of his old friends. He came up to give aid and assistance to the Democratic workers in the city. Mr. Tayler is the only living Negro who has ever been a candidate for the office of president of the United States. He was the candidate of the National Negro Liberty Party in 1904. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 28.—The first ground will be broken here tomorrow for the magnificent five-story building to be known as the Masonic Temple. The building will cost $100,000 and will consist of brick, stone and steel. This temple will stand on the Mason's lot, corner Bridge and Dural Sts. The building of this temple will be an epoch in the progress of the entire Negro race in the South. Are any of the Negro languages so far developed as to be written as well as spoken? B. V. Just one, the Vei language on the West Coast of Africa. The inventor is named Goalu Bukere. He invented these characters in 1834, which are wholly different from any European or Arabic characters. It is the one case known to history in which the actual invention of a system of writing can be clearly shown. Washington, D. C.—The first clerkship held by colored man, under the government of the United States was held by Solomon Johnson, or "Sweet" Johnson as he was familiarly known to his associates. He was born and reared at Columbus, Ohio., and received his appointment from that place. His first appointment was to a laborer's position in the treasury department, February 21, 1864, at $600. In 1867, because of his ability, he was promoted to a clerkship at $1,200, being the first colored man to attain a clerkship. In 1869 he was advanced to $1,400, and continued as a clerk until his death, which occurred in November, 1885 Perhaps one of greatest examples of Negro enterprise and business as exemplified by an individual, not only in the city of Iudianapolis and State of Indiana, but possibly in these United States, is to be found in the person of Mr. Henry L Sanders, of this city. Merchant and manufacturer. Mr. Sanders' establishment is a credit to the race and is pointed to with pride by our colored citizens. Mr. Sanders is in the ladies and gents' furnishing business, and in January of this year his stock invoiced was given the value of $10,000 and the amount of sales for 1907 was $24,004 44. Pottsville, Pa., Nov. 1.—The only colored section foreman, Joseph Thomas, of Minersville, near here, employed on the Schuylkill Valley division of the Pennsylvania railroad, has just been signally honored by being awarded $50 in gold for having the best section of trackage covering the distance from Fifty-second street, Philadelphia, through to Lytie, a distance of 95 miles. This is the outcome of his competition against a score of white foremen in the company's last fiscal year. Thomas' section of track runs from Pottsville to Lytle. Washington has a colored man who changes hue so often that the doctors at the Emergency Hospital, where he is confined by serious illness, have dubbed him "a psychological phenomenon," and a "human chameleon." Luther Johnson is the man's name. Not long ago his heart was sewed up Dr. Charles S. White, in an effort to save the patient's life, after a wound that threatened to be fatal. Johnson's hands turned almost white at times, and peculiar spots appear on his face as if a vari-colored searchlight had been flashed upon him. He is still in a precarious condition and the doctors are not sure whether he will live or not. His case has set the medical profession by the ears. The trial of Congressman J. Thomas Heflin for shooting an unarmed colored man who happened to be riding on the same street car with him, last spring, will be called shortly after the opening of Congress in December. To avoid inconveniencing Heflin by making it necessary for him to make two trips to Washington, the District attorney agreed to postpone action until the Alabamian came on to take his seat at the Capital. The outcome of the case is very uncertain, owing to the conflict ing testimony that will be offered. Salem, Ore., Oct. 29. To transport a Negro colony from the South to eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the dream of NO.8 the Euphemria Sodality of Beattitude, now being incorporated. J. T. Bowman, of 1325 Morgan street St. Louis, has written the State Land Board that the sodality is anxious to acquire by grant, if possible, large tracts of arid land in Malheur, Harney, Lake, Crook and Grant counties, lay out a townsite and build a railroad, probably from Vale, Malheur county, to Elko, Elko county, Nevada, via Silver Lake, Idaho. Bowman does not ask for charity, but assures the state officials that the colored people will handle their own problems and pay as they go. A Washington dispatch stated that among the subjects discussed by President Roosevelt and Bishop Hartzell, of the Methodist Episcopal church, at a recent interview, was the work of the Afro-American artist, H. O. Tanner, whose religious paintings have made a profound impression in Paris. Two of his painting, "The Resurrection" and "Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh," have been purchased by the French Government. They will be loaned to the American Art Association of New York for an exhibit in November, at which the last entitled picture will be the central point of interest of the exhibit. The President is taking a great interest in the work of the artist and will lend his patronage to the forthcoming exhibit. PUEBLO PEBBLES Rev. C. W.

PHONE MAIN 6123 Denver, Colorado MANAGER OF AMERICAN SMELTING AND REFINING COMPANY DEFINES THE POLICY OF THAT CORPORATION—HAVE NOT INTERFERED IN POLITICS OF STATE IN ANY WAY. DENVER, Colo., Oct. 29, 1908.—(To The Public.)—During the last several weeks of the present political campaign the Denver Post has sought in every way to prejudice the American Smelting and Refining Company in the eyes of the Colorado community. This paper has sought to convey the impression: (1) That the American Smelting and Refining Company is a great factor in Colorado politics; (2) That through extortionate, unjust and unfair business methods, it is crushing the Colorado mining industry out of existence. price of silver, came a very great one in the price of lead and copper, and while the amounts of these metals as associated with the silver are not so very large, nevertheless the depreciation in the quotation of these metals has brought a material addition to the great burden the ore producers were already sustaining. The American Smelting and Refining Company, large as it is, is and has been utterly without influence on the quotation applying to silver, copper and zinc. It has, as the greatest producer of lead in the United States, lent its sustaining influence to the maintenance of lead prices and to the It is not the purpose of the American Smelting and Refining Company to discuss its business relations with ore shippers in newspaper columns. It wishes, however, to register an emphatic denial of all the charges which have been brought against it by the said newspaper and to declare openly and unreservedly that the company is not and has not been engaged in political business of any kind, and that its whole course has been and will continue to be one which will aid in the development of the mineral resources of this great state. If unfortunate conditions in the metal markets have so arisen as to make it unprofitable for mining operators in Colorado to produce the maximum tonnages which would under more fortunate circumstances have been mined, the American Smelting and Refining Company is in no wise to blame, but on the contrary it has suffered equally with mining operators in the curtailment of ore production. Treatment Given the Producers of Ore in State of Colorado Much has been said in papers of the type of the Post as to the enormous dividends paid by the American Smelting and Refining Company in the carrying on of its business and the argument has been made that the paying of such dividends carries with it the just conclusion that the mining operators have not been fairly dealt with by the company and that in order to pay such dividends extortionate smelting charges have been and continue to be levied. Leaving out of consideration entirely the relationship of the American Smelting and Refining Company to ore producers in states other than Colorado, the pertinent question presents itself: how has this company treated the Colorado ore producers and to what extent is it entitled to their respect and confidence? In order to throw a proper light on the policy of the company as carried on since its formation, a brief review of the ore conditions as they have developed in Colorado will be in order. Primarily it may be stated that since the discovery of Cripple Creek, prospecting in Colorado has practically ceased, and the mining of ores in this state has been confined to the camps which were in existence when Cripple Creek was discovered. The camps which produce ore in this state may be tabulated as follows: The Leadville district. The Aspen district. The Cripple Creek district. The Creede district. The Lake City district. The Rico district. The San Juan district. The Park, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Boulder county districts. In point of tonnage of smelting ore produced these districts would rank in the following order: Leadville, San Juan, Aspen, Cripple Creek, Creede, the monthly tonnages from the other districts having fallen to relatively small quantities. With the exception of the Cripple Creek mining district, the ores produced are mainly silver bearing, associated with lead to some extent and with copper to a much lesser one. It will be recognized, therefore, that with a drop of about 17 cents an ounce in the price of silver, the value of the argentiferous ores produced in Colorado has been most unfavorably affected. So much so in fact that a tremendous curtailment in the tonnage output necessarily resulted coincident with this heavy decline in the We Poor Men! Harry is six years old. "Pa," he asked one day, "if I get married will I have a wife like Ma?" "Very likely," replied his father. "And if I don't get married will I have to be an old bachelor like Uncle Tom?" "Very likely." "Well, Pa," he said, after a moment of deep thought, "it's a mighty tough world for us men, ain't it?"—Success. Probably a fountain pen is so called because it is forever overflowing. An example of the progress of the science of forestry in this country is furnished by the co-operation just arranged between the University of Idaho and the United States forest service for testing the timber growing in the state of Idaho.

President Diaz of Mexico, though 75 years old, is an athlete and can climb a rope, hand over hand, with ease. But it requires a more abstemious and systematic mode of living than the ordinary mortal is capable of to be a President Diaz.

The American Smelting and Refining Company, large as it is, is and has been utterly without influence on the quotation applying to silver, copper and zinc. It has, as the greatest producer of lead in the United States, lent its sustaining influence to the maintenance of lead prices and to the extent which the company has been able to aid in the creation of better prices for lead, the lead producers of the United States have shared the benefit. The quotations which are sent out as governing the price of lead by the American Smelting and Refining Company are taken from the record of actual sales from week to week as made by the company, and this record is open to the inspection of any ore shipper having business with the company. The policy of the company with respect to the mining operators in Colorado has been one of consistent reduction in ore treatment charges as fast as improvements were introduced which in the lowering of operating costs permitted such reductions to be made. In the policy which has actuated the company the salient principle has always borne in mind to lend aid to such portion of the ore reduction which absolutely demanded it and to apply treatment charges on such other portions of the ore production which so for from hampering the output would on the contrary stimulate it to its utmost. Smelting of Ores a Business Different from Any Other. The smelting of ore is a peculiar business and differs in its characteristics from any other industrial business in the country. The industry is one which calls continually for a chemical adjustment of the ore charge and involves at the same time commercial considerations of greatest moment. In nearly every other industrial enterprise the technical execution of the work is referred to the handling of a single raw product or a number of graded raw products very similar in their specific character. In the smelting of precious metal ores, however, most complex problems continually present themselves. For the successful carrying out of the industry it is necessary to deal with a great variety of products and the necessity arises of so regulating the business that the mining output of many sections and districts under extreme fluctuating conditions can be currently taken care of. In the consideration of the many intricate questions which are continually confronting the custom smelter, that is, one which does not mine but purchases all of its ores from mines owned by others, the company is obligated to take notice of individual ore outputs which it is necessary to secure for the perfection of the general smelting mixture. If it so happens that such outputs cannot be produced under normal treatment charges which might be generally applicable, it becomes necessary to give special inducements to bring out the product, and so it happens that it is not possible in the carrying on of the smelting business to make smelting charges which are regulated by hard and fast rules. On the contrary, it has been and always will be necessary to make such charges as will permit the greatest production of ores from all districts in order that the mining business may be stimulated to its highest degree and the maximum output obtained. With the curtailment or cessation of ore production which brings with it concurrently an enforced reduction in smelting operations, smelting expenses quickly rise and the ability of the smelting company to make concessions to any ore producer is quickly restricted. In the carrying out of this policy uninterrupted, the basis of calcula- Teacher—Johnny, can you inform the class as to how the age of a chicken is determined? Johnny—Yes'm. By the teeth. Teacher—Why, Johnny, chickens have no teeth. Johnny—No'm. But we have.—Bohemian. Beauty is only skin deep, but the skin of a rhinoceros is too deep to show it up to advantage. Those who think that invention is approaching its limits would do well to consider the fact stated by M.

The residents of Greenville witnessed recently for the first time negro women in the streets. They were given light work in the streets, such as cutting grass. The dime novel still has its victims. Two Chicago boys, one 18 years old, the other 16, were recently convicted of having bound and cruelly tortured two smaller boys, in imitation of some Indians they had been reading about. The fine of $100 imposed by the judge upon the older boy will, of course, fall upon the boy's father, and to some persons may seem an injustice; but it ought to serve as a reminder to parents that they are responsible for what their children read. tion has been the operation of all the works of the company under full capacity. Furthermore, the company has not hesitated in the reduction of treatment charges to anticipate the benefits which it was expected would be realized by the introduction of improvements in which large sums have been expended and to give the same in largest measure to the ore producer. The changing conditions of ore production in the state have brought about a situation which could not satisfactorily be met up to the present. The iron sulphides, of which there is a superabundant quantity and which have always commanded the very lowest treatment charges on account of their fluxing character, have steadily declined in value. The silicious ores which are necessary to the smelting of the iron sulphides, have steadily grown less and less in their production although treatment charges have continually been reduced in order to promote the output. Lead ores from Colorado have become a steadily diminishing factor, so that for the smelting of the tonnages which are now available at least seventy per cent of the necessary lead has to be brought in from outside districts. Without a very close study and consequent familiarity with these complex conditions, it is not possible for anyone to pass a correct or just judgment on the situation. The ridiculous cry of persons who are unfamiliar with the business, and others who have so little knowledge of it as to formulate weird statistics, that the chief object of the American Smelting and Refining Company is to crush mines out of existence, thereby closing down its own works, seems to be too silly to call for comment. So also may the asinine charges that the American Smelting and Refining Company conducts its business in a dishonest way be dismissed from the consideration of all decent people. Best Machinery Used to Secure Very Best Results. In the pursuit and carrying out of its business, the company has installed the most perfect apparatus and paraphernalia known in the art of smelting for the correct determination and valuation of ore received by it. The weighing and sampling are conducted under the most rigid methods, which make for accuracy, and at all time are the works and methods of the company open to the most searching scrutiny of ore shippers or representatives who may be delegated by them to look after their interests. The company is in no wise interested in any public or private samplers, and in giving the concerns the greatest latitude in the sampling and purchasing of ores for its account, it puts them on exactly the same basis of regulation as is the case with shippers who send ores direct to the smelters. If the ore schedules which are offered to shippers seem to be somewhat complex to the layman, it may be said that they are the result of the evolution from schedules which were introduced in Colorado over a generation ago. To the man, however, who is continually selling ore, and who can easily figure out the resultant value in applying the schedules to his own ore, the rates are not mysterious. The question finally resolves itself into one of net payment for the metals contained in the ore, and the net value of the ore to the producer after all charges have been met. If the rate is such as will enable him to produce at profit, the ore will be mined. Otherwise it is sure to remain in the ground. The American Smelting and Refining Company has no monopoly in its business. It has no secret processes nor has it a monopoly of the technical and business talent, which is necessary to successfully conduct its enterprises. It has no privileges in the matter of secret railway rates, and has constantly exerted its efforts with the railways for the obtaining of minimum freight charges, the benefit of which when secured has been given to the ore producer. The company has been charged with the new crime of employing brains in the conduct of its business. It pleads guilty to this accusation, but in doing so claims that it should and does have a keen recognition of the fact that being entirely dependent on the prosperity of the mining industry, it certainly cannot thrive in its downfall.

I, Box 99, Kernersville, N. C., writes: "I suffered with stomach trouble and indigestion for some time, and nothing that I ate agreed with me. I was very nervous and experienced a continual feeling of uneasiness and fear. I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. I found in one of your Peruna books a description of my symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He said I had catarrh of the stomach. I took Peruna and Manalin and followed his directions and can now say that I feel as well as I ever did. "I hope that all who are afflicted with the same symptoms will take Peruna, as it has certainly cured me." The above is only one of hundreds who have written similar letters to Dr. Hartman. Just one such case as this entitles Peruna to the candid consideration of every one similarly afflicted.

Shortly afterwards, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first verse and proceeded to read the fifth, commencing: * "Forever let my grateful heart," then he hesitated and exclaimed: "The choir will omit the fifth verse." Some of the congregation read the verse for themselves and smiled as they read: Forever let my grateful heart His boundless grace adore. Which gives ten thousand blessings p v And bids me hope for more. Uncle Zeb's Preference Uncle Zebulon was on a visit to his nephew in the big city and the two had gone to a restaurant for dinner. They had given their order and were waiting for it to be filled when the younger man, who had been glancing at a paper that lay on the table, said: said: "By the way, uncle, did you ever have cerebro-spinal meningitis?" "No," replied Uncle Zebulon, after a few moments' mental struggle with the question, "and I don't want any. I'd ruther have fried liver and bacon any day." Good Thing to Know.

BIG SHIPMENTS MADE COLORADO PRODUCT PROMISES TO BECOME FAVORITE IN EASTERN MARKETS. The first of the matured Colorado celery is just getting into market. Housewives and marketers are picking it with critical eye and feeling that satisfaction which comes to them from finding a product which is all it should be for the table. Only those whose business or pleasure have taken them in recent times into the garden patches near Denver can appreciate what a staple product celery has become or how many are engaged in its production. Along the South Park railroad line that runs to Morrison and up into the park are to be seen these days patches of the ripening celery which are a real delight to see. Every available inch of the rich bottom tracts between the foot of the dry mesa and the railroad in the vicinity of Overland station has been possessed by gardeners who have cultivated the soil with all the intensity of an Italian garden until the trimly boxed rows of green with the clean and mellow ground between make a pastoral scene that not only is pleasing to the eye bue speaks eloquently of thrift. In the same way the garden tracts beyond the Jesuit college, in the valley of Clear Creek, over North Denver way, are in almost unbroken succession of celery beds showing the same attention and close cultivation. The crop is starting to market and the harvest is under way. The fine white bunches with their green tops being peeled from the boxed rows in which they have all but buried, look most inviting to the epicure. It may surprise some to know that one section, that is adjacent to Brighton, will ship all of 150 carloads of celery this season. The superiority of the Colorado product, the fact that some climatic condition tends not only to give the stalks a superior flavor, but to make them crisper and whiter and in every way more desirable, has broadened the market for it until Colorado celery is becoming as stable in eastern markets as has the cantaloupe been for many years. Its cultivation is beginning to do for certain lands of the state much the same in the way of increasing their desirability and value that the fruits are doing for the western slope, and the sugar beets for districts contiguous to factories. Lands that cannot grow fruits and are too far away from beet markets, are gradually finding their adaptability to some staple vegetable until something of a uniformity of value is coming throughout the state. The celery crop promises to be an increasing factor to this end. Denver's Big Stock Show. The Executive Committee of the Western Stock association recently met at the Denver Stock Yards to consider plans for the next show which is to be held the week of January 17th. The show, says the Record-Stockman, will be one of the greatest ever held in the West. There will be a grand horse fair every night in the new building which will be heated and lighted and made most comfortable. The new pavilion will seat 6,540 people and there is standing room for as many more. Some of the greatest horses in the world will be here on exhibition, including the six teams of the big packers. A resolution was adopted asking the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers' association to take charge of the literary and social feature of the Stock Show association and it is probable that the annual dollar dinner of the state association will be made a big feature of the week with prominent speakers to address the stockmen on matters of educational value to their business. Owing to the lateness of the season, and the fact that cattle have been slow getting into the feed lots the rule regarding the Commercial Class entries was amended to permit entries to be made up to November 15th. This class is expected to be of considerable interest and a number of stockmen are preparing to enter. Work on the new coliseum is being pushed and work will start at once on several new barns to house the large number of animals expected to enter the show. Hundreds of men are at work at the stock yards on the preparations and no expense will be spared to have everything in shape in time for the show. Beet tops and pulp are worth $5 an acre and the fertilization which comes from sheep in traveling over the land will return to the soil as much value as the feed costs, says a farm paper. Sugar beet growing and sheep raising ought always to be twin industries for they both have interests in common. Sheep fertilization increases the production to the amount of one and one-half tons more beets an acre the following year and enhances the value of the land about $12 an acre yearly. LABOR REPORTS FROM ABROAD STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN DELE GATES BEFORE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. CAUSE IS ADVANCING WOMEN AND CHILDREN SHOULD BE GOTTEN OUT OF ENGLISH WORKSHOPS. Denver.—Thursday morning President Gompers called for addresses from delegates from abroad. P. M. Draper, secretary of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress, discussed the Canadian labor movement as compared with the movement in the United States and made complaint against shop employees who were imported from the United States by the Canadian Pacific railroad to take the places of the Canadian employees who went on strike. Draper was followed by John Wadsworth, fraternal delegate from England, who represents the coal miners' unions. He discussed the visible difference between the prosperity of America and the prosperity of England and declared it was all in favor of America, though he had noticed that in some sections of the United States there were troubles with the unemployed problem. Wadsworth told how the unions in England had run the gamut of all sorts of strikes and labor troubles until now they had reached a point where the power of the strike had made such a wholesome impression on the employers of the country that they were of infrequent occurrence. J. Herbert Skinner, his colleague, was introduced by President Gompers as the "proud printer" from England. Skinner told of the campaign launched recently in Ireland for the union label on all union made goods, and declared that it was hoped within a short time to make it almost impossible for tradesmen in Ireland to dispose of articles that do not bear the label of the craft that makes them. He said that the British Parliament is to be asked to enact a universal eight-hour law. At the afternoon session Andrew Furuseth, fraternal delegate to the English labor congress at Nottingham, and Hugh Franey, delegate to the Canadian congress at Halifax, N. S., made their reports. Furniseth, in his report, declared that the solution of the unemployed question in England would never be reached until the women and children were gotten out of the workshops and into the homes and schools where they belonged. He said that in Nottingham there were three women for every man employed, and the manufacturers there arranged wages on the family basis, much after the fashion in vogue in the textile mills in Massachusetts. He said that while he was in England, meetings of the unemployed were being held in all sections of the country, and bodies of men marched on London after the fashion of Coxey's army. The general condition, he said, reminded him of the situation in the United States in 1894, and 1895 after the panic. Fatal Wyoming Railroad Wreck. Cheyenne, Wyo.—The failure of air brakes to work, which Tuesday night caused one of the worst rear-end collisions in the history of the Union Pacific, an eastbound extra freight, running wild down the steep grade of Sherman mountain, crashing into the locomotive and caboose of a work train at Borie, eleven miles west of Cheyenne, cost nine lives. The dead are: John Murphy, Denver, conductor of the work train. Clarence Stitt, Denver, brakeman of the work train. C. W. Rodgers, Denver, brakeman of the work train. J. C. Schley, Laramie, Wyo., engineer of the eastbound freight. Mons Christensen, Cheyenne, Wyo., man of the eastbound freight. J. D. Duncan, Laramie, Wyo., brake man of the eastbound freight. Three unknown Japanese laborers. The injured are: Joseph Clinton, Denver, engineer of the work train. Chris Hansen, Denver, fireman of the work train. Ed Tracey, Cheyenne, brakeman of the eastbound freight. None of the injured will die, although all are badly burned and crushed. Traffic was delayed twelve hours, and the loss to the company in rolling stock and merchandise will aggregate $100,000. Son of Watterson Killed. New York.—Harvey W. Watterson, a lawyer and younger son of Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, plunged to his death from the nineteenth floor of his office building at 37 Wall street Wednesday afternoon. His body shot downward for 110 feet and landed on the roof of a ten-story building adjoining. Almost every bone was broken and the head crushed. Death was instantaneous. While there were no eye-witnesses, to the tragedy, evidently it was entirely accidental. When you want a fine High Grade Cigar 3 for 25c. 10c and 2 for 25c 10 Sizes The Bxter Cigar Con Denver.

A Swedish inventor has designed an apparatus for counting money and sorting the pieces into specified quantities. In the first place, money of various denominations is put into the machine and separated according to value, these being sent into various tubes. When in the tubes the coins can be taken out in lots of 10, 20, 50 or 100 pieces, at the will of the operator. The apparatus is capable of separating, counting and dividing into the lots before mentioned 72,000 pieces in an hour. One machine under one operator is able to accomplish in one day as much counting as could be done by 50 most experienced bank cashiers. — Dundee Advertiser. "There certainly: are differences in feelings," said the woman who sometimes philosophizes, "or at least different ways of expressing them. "A few days ago a shocking incident occurred in the apartment house where I live. The janitor, who was an unusually good looking man, about 35 years old, killed himself, for some wholly inadequate reason—some difference with his employer. Of course everybody in the house was much upset by the tragedy and I, with other tenants, went down to the basement to see his wife and offer aid.

Unless this is done sent Negro to such an extent that it can be sent to many different in the magazines, besides the of our young people in defense learned to effectively contend his contention heard and felt. This is an era of discussion. The greatest era of discussion in the world's history. Every question of importance is brought into the lime light of discussion. Uppermost among the discussions going the rounds of the press today is the perennial Negro problem. The time has now fully come for the intelligent Negro to manfully meet the issue and to effectively rebut the currant slander on the race being made by paid correspondents and professional paragraph writers. In order to wisely accomplish this the Colorado Statesman would suggest the organization and training of a club of intelligent and promising young men and women whose business it shall be to pay attention to articles in the public press and magazines concerning the race and reply to them in an intelligent and effective way. Unless this is done sentiment will be crystalized against the Negro to such an extent that it will be hard to overcome. These articles can be sent to many different papers and a place be found for them in the magazines, besides they will afford opportunity for training of our young people in defense of the race. The Negro has not yet learned to effectively contend for his rights in the avenues that make his contention heard and felt.

The filling its mission is evidence when this paper does not reach it may be said that it is now comes out regularly no matter left of the postman who also is r.

The colored newspaper like the white press of the land is set to turn on the light of the intelligence so that the darkened intellect might be awakened. Its foremost task is to discuss the currant events of the times and things of especial interest to the race. That the colored press has its place and is filling its mission is evidenced by the expressions of disappointment when this paper does not reach its subscribers. To the credit of the editor it may be said that it is no fault of the management for the paper comes out regularly no matter what may happen. Seldom it is the fault of the postman who also is regular and painstaking in its delivery. The question then arises what becomes of the papers addressed to subscribers working in private families where the servants mail is addressed to residence of their employers. The answer is plain. It is either deliberately withheld because employers regard mail sent to Negroes of no importance or that they do not wish them to receive the light and information that the newspapers brings to their servants. Some employers still hold to the old ante-bellum doctrine that God created different sorts of people, masters and servants and that the latter should be satisfied with their positions and they attempt to withhold from them anything that brings them a desire to better their condition or turn on the light or to discover the injustice of the employers position but the light is bound to spread and the colored newspapers cannot at this late day be suppressed. THE LIMITS OF CHARITY charitableness is a far too preve- that is not criticised enough with many to consider the consideration at the hands of t, and if they do not thus sec they consider their lots castable trait in the ante-bellum N object of private charity, has, The abuse of charitableness is a far too prevalent sin among colored people, and one that is not criticised enough for their own good. It is a common thing with many to consider themselves standing objects of provident consideration at the hands of their white acquaintances or employers, and if they do not thus secure a certain amount of their livelihood, they consider their lots cast in hard and thorny places. The excusable trait in the ante-bellum Negro of considering himself the natural object of private charity, has, by force of example, taken too strong hold upon the principles and energies of the younger element, so that many of them look for favors and charities merely on account of their race identity. It should not be forgotten that the character of improvidence and servility attaches to a donor's' estimation of of the man or woman who is always looking for, wanting or ready to accept donations and gifts. To provide for the common beggar the community establishes boards of charity and poorhouses, but those who regularly seek and expect charity contributions and favors, while not confessed beggers, come to be regarded as an improvident load and responsibility upon those who happen to be thrown into business relations with them. This causes many people to despise the Negro, while others soften their contempt into an idea of general indolence and worthlessness. Colored men, and especially those who pretend to be men of integrity and under standing, need to cultivate pride and self-dependence to the extent that all their dealings with white people, shall be strictly upon a basis of right and merit. A colored business man who asks patronage or other favors because he is colored, or poor, or sick, or otherwise unfortunate, is not doing a legitimate business as white men do it, but is simply masking beggary. The only way to gain a respectable standing, either in the business world or the field of labor, is to go in upon your merits and give value received for the benefits and rewards that you earn. No merchant or other business man is under any obligation to show you favors because you are indigent; nobody is under obligation to employ or favor you because you are poor. You must learn to compete with others in your sphere upon the ground of individual merit. To accept such a competition manfully will not only instill a spirit of independence and worthiness in those that accept it, but a high respect in the minds of those that observe it. A colored business man who is able, energetic and full of business, inspires not only others of his own race, but all others with whom he come in business contact. The lack of thrift independence and business energy and the prevalence of charitable expectancy are probably the causes of many business failures among colored men. They expect charitable consideration for their inability or neglect to equal others in their line, and when people grow tired of such concessions, as they are soon bound to do, their enterprises collapse. Charity carries its limit. As a private virtue, its repetition entails the loss of respect; as a public necessity it is at the best a cold service. In both business and community relations the colored people will do well to get beyond its necessity as soon as they possibly can. The Jap as He Is By PROF. KIYOKICHI SANO.

Americans are very complimentary to the Japanese and give them credit for a deep, underlying subtlety which they really do not possess. The Japanese are far from subtle, but from the experience of several thousand years they have learned that when confronted by a proposition with which they cannot grapple it is best to say nothing and look wise.

An American merchant who had been living many years in Japan, representing a big New York firm, said: "In business, if you find the Japanese tricky, it is your own fault. When you deal with them rightly and justly the little Japs are your best friends, and they will go with you through fire and water. But if you spoil their hearts everything goes wrong." The Japanese, if you like, are a nation of fighters, but traders never. Why, they cannot control even the trade of Japan. The Chinese control a large share of the export trade of Japan. We can beat the Chinese with the sword, but they beat us with the soroban, the counting machine, the abacus. Japanese politeness always goes with self-respect, for among a self-respecting community politeness is the only way of avoiding conflict. This self-respect is a virtue that springs from the sense of honor. It was developed to a high degree during the long period of feudalism, and it became the most predominating motive in the Japanese mind. “Sense of honor” to the Japanese mind is as fuel to the steam engine. If it is kindled with the fire of ambition or humiliation his life has no value to him whatever, on the battlefield or at the office desk. That is why a Japanese soldier will climb into an enemy's fort amid a shower of shell and will not show his back to the foe even in the face of the most galling fire. The ambition to be the first man in to victory or the fear of shame if he should not show bravery prevents the Japanese from running. It is neither patriotism nor courage, as those words are generally bandied about, that prevents his running. An old chieftain of the days of the Samura cried out to his followers: “Jump into the enemy's camp if you think you are it. Would you run away? Don't you know the shame of it?” In the school and family in Japan they do not use the rod. A reference to a sense of honor and shame awakens the timid mind and spurs on the brave. It is entirely different with the Chinese. The Chinese will go to war or take a dangerous task willingly and stoically. They are born fatalists and not cowards, except as material gain, official distinction or luxury makes them so. Reduce the Nation's Fire Loss By C. M.

I am fully convinced that there is no more effect the loss than to attack the carelessness that causes loss. We can do a great work in this field by continually train on our resources before the eyes of the people, self-interest, yes, self-preservation, demands their own this unnecessary loss of life and property. I will consider how to "conserve our natural resource important to conserve our created resources.

Berlin has a population of 3,000,000. Its fire loss reaches about $150,000 a year. Chicago has a population of 2,000,000 and an annual fire loss of nearly $5,000,000. How can this loss be reduced? In many ways. By better construction, more efficient protection, stricter city laws and ordinances impartially enforced, and above all, by better care and attention. Over 50 per cent. of our fires are due to easily preventable causes, or in other words, to carelessness. An old-fashioned attendant in an insane asylum gave his test as to the sanity of those committed to his care as follows: "I opens the watercock so the water runs on the basement floor, then I tells the patient to mop up the water. Those what ain't idjits shuts off the water first." Is there not a temptation to neglect the causes of fires for the more attractive field of how to fight fires? We cannot give too much attention to problems of fire protection, but we must not neglect the field of fire prevention. I am fully convinced that there is no more effectual way to reduce the fire loss than to attack the carelessness that causes over 50 per cent. of this loss. The press can do a great work in this field by continually keeping this tremendous drain on our resources before the eyes of the people until they realize that self-interest, yes, self-preservation, demands their constant effort to cut down this unnecessary loss of life and property. It is well to consider how to "conserve our natural resources," but it is equally important to conserve our created resources. School children should be taught the results of carelessness with fire; railroads should be compelled to refrain from sending out showers of sparks to destroy the property of others; safety matches should everywhere replace the more convenient but dangerous parlor match; the common practice of placing ashes in wooden barrels and boxes, as evidenced by the weekly display along our curbstones, should be prohibited by ordinance. If equal care were taken to keep our cellars and backyards clean and presentable as is taken to polish the shining metal work of our fire engines and their equipment, it would do far more to prevent fire losses. In buildings where timbers are allowed to improperly enter the walls of chimneys or where the heating flues are dangerously placed, the architect and contractor should be held as responsible for the results as is the man who sets fire to a building. To sum up the whole matter, we lead the world as the most careless people on earth, and until public opinion is educated up to a point where it will rise in its might and demand that each be careful, especially where carelessness may result in loss to others, we shall continue to lead the world in the lives lost and property destroyed by easily preventable causes. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" [Illustration of a man in a suit and hat]. He Is Not Subtle; A Fighter— Yes, But No Trader Americans are very complimentary to the Japanese, give them credit for a deep, underlying sub-surface they really do not possess.

A wise look will tongue cover a multitude of deficiencies, matter of fact the Japanese live very much in their thoughts are on the surface and suddenly American merchant who had been living many a big New York firm, said: "In business, it is your own fault. When you deal with little Japs are your best friends, and they are water. But if you spoil their hearts, are a nation of fighters, but traders never ennounce the trade of Japan. The Chinese control trade of Japan. We can beat the Chinese with the soroban, the counting machine, the days goes with self-respect, for among a self-ness is the only way of avoiding conflict.

The total fire loss in the United States for the past 33 years amounts to the sum of $4,500,000,000, with an average loss for the last five years of $252,000,000 each year. Can this loss be materially reduced? The annual number of fires in American cities averages 40 for each 10,000 of population as compared with eight for each 10,000 of population in European cities. The average per capita loss in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland varies from 12 cents in Italy on an average of 33 cents, as compared with Berlin has a population of 3,000,000.

When 15 she entered the school for colored children conducted by Miss Martha Schofield at Aiken, S. C. From there she went to Oberlin College, where she graduated. On returning to her native city she began practice among the colored people and soon realizing the needs of her people for a hospital, rented the old home of a white family for that purpose. This was the first hospital opened in the capital of South Carolina. At one time Dr. Evans had in this hospital twenty seven patients, although there were only suitable accommodations for twelve. It is said that every dollar Dr. Evans earns in her private practice goes to improve her hospital, which has been in operation about ten years.

He is generally unfitted for office, being one of the exasperating people who are continually saying what they would do while really doing nothing at all. It is usually the sluggard or idler, who stands about and watches others work, who can suggest a dozen ways in which they can do better. Friendly Discussions Avail. It would be an important step towards the reconciliation of political opponents if they would clearly signify on what points they agree, and what points they differ. To this end, friendly discussions avail more, more, than calumnious insinuation, furious invectives, the acerbities of partisan rivalry, the machinations of intrigue and malevolence.—Comte de Mirabeau. Inundation of the Nile. The valley of the Nile is inundated regularly every year from the 15th of June to the 17th of September. When the river subsides it leaves a rich deposit of soil for six miles on each side of the stream. Sometimes the overflow is excessive, but if the inundation falls short failure of crops results. In 1829 the flood was so great as to cause the loss of 30,000 lives and the destruction of much property. Alum for Household Use. Alum should never be absent from any household. It has a very good effect if applied to bleeding wounds, as it checks the loss of blood. Boiled in milk in small quantities it is good for toothache. It must be held in the mouth, net swallowed. For bleeding of the mouth or tongue, a wash in cold water in which alum has been dissolved is very effective. Love's Flame Still Bright.

Suggestions for Those Who Would Begin the Day Well. The average American family is fast following in the footsteps of foreign cousins and eating light, breakfasts and one hot dish is considered sufficient. The motherly mother and devoted wife may find one or two of the following dishes tempting. Generally speaking, something with a little salty flavor appeals to a man's appetite. Finnan Haddie and Eggs—Select a thick fish and cut into pieces large enough for single portions. Parboil the fish for a few minutes. Remove from the pan, dry with a cloth. Put the fish on the fine broiler, rub butter over it and broil until nicely browned. Lay on a hot platter, brush once more with butter, squeeze a little lemon juice over it and serve with a poached egg on each square of fish. Baked Breakfast Dish.—In the bottom of a baking dish put a layer of cold mashed potatoes left from dinner. Sprinkle with bits of butter. Over this place a layer of finely chopped ham and then break several eggs over the top. Place in a moderately quick oven and bake until done. Grated cheese may be added on top of the eggs if cheese is liked. Many prefer it without the cheese for breakfast and with the cheese for luncheon. Bacon in Potatoes.—Select large potatoes of even size and cut a small piece off one end so they will stand. When baked remove the second end scoop out part of the inside. Fill this cavity with chopped broiled bacon, making a little pyramid in each potato. Serve on hot platter and stick a sprig of parsley in each potato. Barberry Jelly. Add enough water to nearly cover the berries. They should be thoroughly cooked and drained through a jelly bag. Add one pound of sugar to a pint of juice. Boll gently, removing any scum that may arise until the juice thickens when dropped on a plate. Then pour in tumbler and seal. I should boil the juice 15 or 20 minutes before adding sugar. Here is another recipe: Take as many apples by measure as barberries, remove bad places, then quarter. Do not pare or core. Add berries with water enough to cover, boil until the apples are soft, then strain. To a cup of juice use a cup of sugar, put juice on to boil about 20 minutes. In the meantime put sugar in the oven to heat. Stir often so as to not burn. Put all together and boll until it comes to a jelly. Sometimes it takes only five minutes. Make it on a clear day. Rose Cake. Here is a cake to serve with the ice at luncheon. Bake in a brick loaf, cover with a white boiled icing and serve uncut on a handsome platter with a single pink rose laid on each side. Let the hostess cut the cake and serve it on small plates. The recipe reads: Cream one cup of butter with two cups of sugar, mix one cup of corn starch with one cup of milk and stir into the butter and sugar; beat until smooth, add one-third teaspoon of rose flavoring then stir in two cups of flour sifted with four level teaspoons of baking powder. Beat just enough to mix well, fold the stiffly beaten whites of four eggs in lightly, and turn into the buttered and floured pan. Bake in a moderate oven. A. Macaroni Dish. Have ready a cupful of macaroni which has been boiled in salted water and cut up rather finely. This means a cupful after cooking, not before, and the pieces should be half an inch or more in length. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet, and add one tablespoon of cornstarch and stir until well mixed. Add gradually half cup of sweet thin cream and cook two minutes. Add quarter teaspoon of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, and quarter teaspoon of mustard. Into this sauce stir first your macaroni, then half pound of mild American cheese, grated. Stir and simmer gently until the cheese has melted, then turn the mixture out on triangles of toasted bread. Serve at once. Apricot Catsup. Cook two gallons of very ripe apricots for one hour; then remove from fire and put through colander to remove the pits and skins; then add one gallon of pure cider vinegar, two pounds of brown sugar, three tablespoonfuls each of cinnamon, cloves, mace, allspice and ginger and one cupful of horseradish. Return to the fire and cook three hours. Bottle when cool. "Expert" Carving. At a dinner where half a duck was served each guest the host was complimented upon his skilful carving. Later it was divulged that before cooking them the birds were cut in two, stuffed, sewed together and baked. Mr. Host merely cut the threads at the table. Regarding Cake Pans Do not grease your cake pans with butter. This is the poorest of all material for this purpose. Beef suet is much better than anything else. To positively avoid having the cake stick to the pan, first grease the pan and then line it with greased paper. Good Paste. To a pint of smooth thick paste add one teaspoonful of powdered alum and ten drops of clove oil, this will keep it moist and also prevent it from turning sour. To Keep Flues Clear of Soot. Stove pipes, boiler tubes and flues may be kept free of soot by occasionally throwing a scrap of zinc into the fire. BOND'S Fine Wines, Liq BOND'S PLACE.

IN REJECTING TICKETS JUSTICES STEELE AND BAILEY DISSENT FROM OPINION BY JUSTICE GABBERT. Denver.—The formal opinion of the Supreme Court in the pre-election case involving the validity of the "Anti Guggenheim" and "Business" tickets was announced Wednesday. It supports the order made before the election in which the court sustained Timothy O'Connor, secretary of state, in his refusal to place these tickets on the official ballot; reviews a history of the two cases in which the points were determined, and then presents the reasons why the action was taken. The opinion was written by Justice Gabbert, and in conclusion it recites: "To briefly recapitulate, the principal questions determined, as presented by the record, are: "First, that nominees named by certificates of the individuals do not become such unless they accept the nomination so tendered. "None of the nominees for presidential electors, congress or state offices accepted, therefore the persons named by respondents as candidates for the above offices could not appear upon the official ballot under the names selected for the respective tickets involved. "Second — That persons having joined in making a nomination by certificates as individuals are precluded from nominating the same nominees in the same way under another name for the same office, to be voted for at the same election. "The testimony establishes without dispute that the certificates nominating candidates for the five legislative districts embracing the city and county of Denver and for senatorial districts numbers 1 and 22, under the respective names selected by respondents contained duplicate names of signers for the same identical offices in such numbers that none of these certificates, when the duplicate names were eliminated, contained the requisite number required by law, therefore these certificates were invalid. "Third—That certificates by individuals making nominations cannot be amended by the addition of further signatures after the time for filling such certificates with the proper officer has expired. "The attempt to remedy the defect in the certificates in question by the tender of additional signatures was not made until after the time for making nominations by individuals had expired; consequently those additional signatures could not be received or considered. "Fourth—That persons named as nominees in a certificate by individuals have no personal interest in such nominations unless they have accepted. "Justices Helm, Goddard and Maxwell never accepted the nomination attempted to be made by respondents, therefore they had no more personal interest therein than any other citizen, or than if the certificates had never been filed." by the entire court with the exception of Chief Justice Steele and Justice Bailey. Justice Helm, in a separate opinion, explains the position of himself and Justices Goddard and Maxwell, all candidates for re-election, with a view of answering the question raised as to their jurisdiction in determining an action, with the result of which they were so vitally concerned. He said that had they refrained from sitting in the case the large vote that would doubtless have been polled would have been placed to their credit. "Therefore," he continued, "from the standpoint of the petitioners and under the judgment of the trial court, our decision was directly inconsistent and inimical to our own personal interests." Storm Stops Beet Digging. Denver. A Longmont dispatch Wednesday night says: About four inches of snow lay on the ground this morning as a result of last night's storm and the thermometer at 6:30 this morning registered 4 below zero. This will stop beet digging for two or three days, but as the farmers have been rushing work for two weeks the factory is well supplied, having on hand about 50,000 tons. The daily run of the factory has been greater this year than ever, it having worked up 1,500 to 1,800 tons each day. It is estimated that 2,000 acres of beets are still in the ground. This represents about 25,000 tons. The total assessed valuation of Pueblo county as reported by County Assessor Graham, is $26,823,639, showin ga gain of $700,000 over last year. The greatest gain was in farm lands, the assessed valuation of which was $5,894,449, a gain of almost $600,000. J. W. Harsh, two miles northeast of Greeley, claims to have raised the biggest beet ever grown in the vicinity. It weigls eighteen pounds. The second largest was grown by F. E. Seeker and weighs 14% pounds. COLORADO NEWS The Grand Theatre company has taken a lease on the Grand opera house at Pueblo and will take charge December 1st.

Harry Casaday, of Boulder county, senator-elect, is preparing a bill to introduce in the next Legislature providing for a state ore sampling works, and an assayer who, under state supervision, will determine the value of all ore shipped from the principal mining camps of the state. The completion of the transmission line of the Central Colorado Power Company to Nederland and the extension of the line from Salina to Sugar Lofl, has made available to a large section of the mining districts of the county cheap electric power for the operation of mines and mills, of which many companies are taking advantage. Cyril Hagerman, son of J. J. Hagerman, the famous tunnel and railroad builder, arrived in Grand Junction a few days since. He owns the largest apple orchard in the United States west of the Mississippi river, located in the Pecos valley of New Mexico.

A reward of $100 has been offered by the Denver Motor Club for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who stole the automobile belonging to George Tritch from the street in front of his residence, 975 Pearl street, on November 4th.

Pike's Peak is settling at the rate of about two inches a year, according to J. G. Heistand, proprietor of the iron Springs Pavilion in Manitou. Mr. Heistand points out that the gradual but certain settlement of the foundation of his iron springs, necessitating repairs every year, is proof of this, since the springs are on the same formation as the Peak. It will be some time, however, before Pike's Peak is a hole in the ground. A contract for 4,000 tons of steel rails has just been let by Vice President and General Manager A. E. Welby of the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern railway. These rails are of the heaviest standard quality and come from the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company at Pueblo, to be delivered as rapidly as possible. This second consignment will make eighty carloads of rails and will lay the track well up to Hillsboro, the present end of the completed grade, forty miles from Denver. After being out five hours the jury in the case of W. P. Weatherford at Greeley found him guilty on the second count only, assault with a deadly weapon and with intent to do great bodily injury.

Weatherford was sentenced to three months in jail and fined $1.

General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cent per bottle. Tune Kermit Whistled Mr. W, W. Miller, a well-known lawyer, tells an anecdote of Kermit Roosevelt, the president's son. "I was acting as steward," says Mr. Miller, "in some gymkhana races at Oyster Bay a few weeks ago, and one of the events was a race in which the contestants had a ta ride a given distance to a certain spot where an equal number of young ladies stood with pencil, paper and envelope. Each rider had to dismount here and whistle a tune, the lady writing its name down on the paper. She then had to seal it up in the envelope and hand it to the rider, who remounted and finished the race, delivering the envelope to the judges' stand. The first one in with a correct answer won the event. "What are you going to whistle?" I asked young Kermit. "I'm going to whistle 'Everybody Works but Father,'" said the president's son. Insulted. Andrew Thomas was a great "forgetter." He forgot to pay the money he owed, and to give people back the things he borrowed. Moreover, he was "touchy" on the subject, so that few of his friends liked to hint that he had any of their property in his possession. One day one of them took his courage in his hand. "Where's that five dollars you borrowed of me last month, Andrew?" he asked. "I don't want to seem tight, but I've just got to—" Andrew replied with dignity: "Did you ever see anything I didn't return? No, I guess you didn't."—Youth's Companion. The Little Girl and the Donkey. The four-year-old daughter of a Washington man not long ago saw a donkey for the first time. She talked to her father a good deal touching the unusual sight. It was a a "dear donkey," it was a a "lovely donkey," etc., etc. Soon the child exhausted her stock of adjectives. "And so you liked the donkey, did you?" asked the fond parent. "Oh, so much, daddy!" returned the youngster. "That is, I liked him pretty well. But I didn't like to hear him donk"—Lippincott's. The Difficulty "Did you have a clear conscience when you had concluded that horse trade?" "I should hope not." "Why not?" "I've noticed that when I come out of a horse trade with a clear conscience I come out with the poorest horse."—Houston Post. The fellow who lands the first blow generally wins, but if we all waited for the other fellow to begin, there wouldn't be any fight. EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food. The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Mich. lady, "my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was voracious, but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me, and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. "I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last when it seemed as if I were literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts. "I had not been able to work for a year, but now after two months on Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trouble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health." "There's a Reason."

"I regret to say," remarked Deacon French, at the last meeting of the Squashville Political Debate club, "that this club has been degenerating ever since I became a member of it." The deacon paused and flushed as he saw a slight smile on the faces of his fellow members. "What I mean to say is," he continued, with some haste, "that ever since I joined this club I've noticed a gradual but decided change for the worse." The smile on the faces of the other members deepened, and the deacon's face turned almost scarlet. "You all know what I mean," he added, desperately. "What I mean is that from the very minute I became a member of the Squashville Political Debate club, I could see that it was beginning to lose its value as an organization, and the longer I have stayed in it, the more steadily I have seen it running down hill!"—Lippincott's. PERFECT HEALTH. After Years of Backache, Dizziness . and Kidney Disorders. Mrs. R. C. Richmond, of Northwood, Iowa, says: "For years I was a martyr to kidney trouble, backache, dizzy speels, headaches and a terrible bearing-down pain. I used one remedy after another without benefit. Finally I used a box of Dean's martyr to kidney trouble, backache, dizzy spehs, headaches and a terrible bearing-down pain. I used one remedy after another without benefit. Finally I used a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and the backache ceased. Encouraged, I kept on, and by the time I had used three boxes not a sign of the trouble remained. My health is perfect."

"But, George," she said, laying her hand affectionately upon his arm and looking into his eyes, "you, I am sure, will never force me to that humiliation."

I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night's sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura Remedies and he felt relieved the first time I used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trouble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N.

English Munchausen Had Shade the Better of Fellow Romancer. The Cape Cod man and the Londoner were traveling on the same train together from Liverpool to the capital. "Yes," said the Yankee, "we do have consid'rable fog out our way. I've seen it so thick that the land-ladies of our summer boardin' houses could ladie it out and use it instead o' whipped egg for the heavy part of the floatin' island." "We 'ave 'em, too, in London," said his traveling companion, "but our climate is too dirty to permit of our eatin' it. We burn so much soft coal, you see, the fog gets packed full of soot. The only thing we really can do with it is to cut it up into blocks and use it instead of peat when we want a quick fire." And the Yankee took out the little American flag he wore in his buttonhole and put it away in his wallet.— Judge. The charm of Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart's negro dialect stories was greatly enhanced when she read them herself, as she used frequently to do in the early days of her fame, for charity and church entertainments. Her imitation of the negro dialect was excellent, and her small son, who was very fond of her accomplishment in this line, frequently boasted of it among the other children. Once, when some of his schoolmates were vaunting the accomplishments of their several mothers, he was overheard to declare: "Well, my mother is smarter than any of yours. She can speak two languages." "What are they?" demanded his companions. One very great advantage which nuts possess over most foods is their absolute freedom from adulteration.

Saving of Some Few Dollars Easily Accomplished, and Costume Will Look Well Throughout the Season. When the family purse is looking a trifle slim, the problem of the winter wrap is always doubly serious. "What is the best investment for a semi-dressy wrap this season?" writes one correspondent. "I have looked in all the shops for a reasonably priced coat," writes another, "and I can find nothing I would have under $30. I simply cannot pay this price, and as I am handy with both machine and needle do you not THE WORLD'S FASHION Simple Semi-Fitted Coat. think I could do better than this by making the coat at home?" These two questions are worth answering in detail. Certainly the best investment for a semi-dressy wrap, which can be worn over a number of one-piece or two-piece dresses to church, calling, receptions and perhaps even to the theater or evening function over an evening gown, is something long, simple and inconspicuous. PLANTS NEED LITTLE CARE. Do Better When Left Alone and Not "Coddled." Do not make the mistake of thinking your plants are about to die because they seem to droop when first brought indoors in the fall. A florist says that more beginners lose their foliage plants from fear than from disease. The changed surroundings cause the foliage to turn yellow; often a few leaves drop. There is no cause for alarm if nature is allowed to have its innings; in a few weeks the plants begin to look up. But the anxious owner at once begins dosing. She treats her sickly plants to liquid manure and other fertilizers, and they soon become dysentic. It is a safe rule to remember that no plant should be fertilized when not in a growing state. When, after a week or two, the house plants become adjusted to their surroundings, they should be given food, but not before. To Give Clothes a Good Color. Very frequently after one has been away for the summer and the clothes have been submitted to incompetent laundresses, they acquire a bad color. In this case the following method has been recommended to restore their whiteness without any danger of rotting the clothes by strong bleaches: Soak clothes over night. In the morning shave two cakes of good laundry soap into a half boilerful of water, adding two tablespoonfuls of kerosene. Boll 20 to 30 minutes. In taking the clothes from the boiler drain all the suds back possible. Rub on board. If the washing is more than one boilerful put back enough of the suds—after rubbing the clothes—to keep the boiler half full of suds. Rinse through two clean waters before blueing, and you will never have yellow clothes. If particular to measure kerosene and rinse thoroughly there will be no odor of kerosene. Black and Green. The dead black coat suit has returned to its own. It will not be left alone, however, as the triple revers and cuffs on it will be of the brightest apple green. Some tallors go so far as to add a three-inch shaped band of green on the skirt. The separate wrap is, above all things, long and graceful. Simplicity of design is less apt to attract attention and prove that its wearer has but one good out-door wrap than the more pronounced patterns, loaded with trimming. Next to black broadcloth comes velvet, and this is particularly effective over silk or broadcloth suits. It is not so good, however, over coarse cloth mixtures. Silk wraps are never a good investment for women who must use one coat or cloak very hard during an entire season, and neither is silk a warm enough fabric for the average climate in this country. So much for the first question. Now for the second. The success of making an outer garment at home depends upon two things—the tailoring ability of the home sewer and the quality of the fabric employed. The woman who imagines that she can cut the price of a $30 garment in two by making it at home is greatly mistaken. She will do wonderfully well if she gets it for $20. This $10 saving does not represent the retailer's profit by any means, because the retailer pays for the wholesaler's labor and "style." Say you wish to duplicate a black broadcloth wrap trimmed with heavy silk braid and ornaments. Just what will it cost? For a coat in two-thirds or three-fourths length you will require at least four yards of broadcloth 52 inches wide. If you are very tall and you use the full-length sleeve now in favor, you may require even more, according to the pattern selected. This will cost $10. Your lining, in quality of satin which will wear, will cost you at least six dollars more, for it does not pay to use slimmy satin for lining, and taffeta is little used in coat linings this year. Add to this at least five dollars for findings, cords, braid, buttons, etc., and some outside tailoring which is absolutely essential to the correct fit and set of the garment. So, you see, without your time and labor, you will invest at least $21, showing a saving of nine dollars on the investment. And to make this a real satisfactory saving you must exercise great care in the tailoring and finish of the garment. A novelty in lining for wraps to be used for dressy wear is the white, pale gray or delicate mode lining, which will not soil light frocks, run to the waist line only, and then the tails of the long coat or wrap are lined with self-tone. For instance, a black broadcloth wrap to be worn with light waists or frocks will be lined through the sleeves and waist sections with white satin and the tails with black satin. Heaviness is the general attribute of the up-to-date wrap, as will be seen by referring to to-day's illustrations, copied from some of the smartest wraps on exhibition at late fall openings. BRUSH AND COMB CASE. Pretty Contrivance Designed for the Toilet Table. In our sketch may be seen a case for a couple of military hair brushes and a comb, which should be made of a size to fit the particular brushes and comb it is intended for. It should be stiffened throughout with thin card- board and edged all round with cord. There is a flap at the top which bends over and fastens on to a button. In this flap is fitted a small pocket in which a comb may find a place, and as it rests more or less on the top of the brushes it will be practically free from the chance of getting broken when the case is used for traveling purposes. The exterior of the case may be covered with dark green art linen, and the inside lined with soft silk in any shade to harmonize with the outer cover. To Remove Knots If a loop forms on the thread when hemming or overhanding, hold the thread firmly as it comes from the material, put the needle into the loop, the thread on tension, and the loop will disappear; remove the needle, pass the thread through the fingers from the material toward the needle, and the knot will be removed, and you have been spared much annoyance and perhaps breaking your thread. Always hold the thread firmly at the material.

Judicious Use of Paint Counts for Much in Preservation of Furnishings That Have Been Allowed to Become Worn. Attention need hardly be called to the amount of preservation that may be done by the judicious use of paint. Many an object formerly npresentable is made good with a well-applied coat of paint. Kitchen chairs, laundry benches, old tables that a coat of varnish would hardly improve in appearance, and even trellises in the flower garden, which in a few years must be renewed if not guarded from the weather; all these things and many articles of furniture might easily be restored to newness by a few coats of paint. Mixed paints can be bought, and these require no expert knowledge of handling. After the can is opened a stick of durable wood about the thickness of one's finger is required to stir the mixture so the paint and oil may coalesce. The stirring should be done thoroughly, ten or fifteen minutes being necessary. A pint of linseed oil can easily be used in a pint of paint, and this will make the quantity of paint applied one quart. This does not spoil the effect and is used when the painting is half done and is beginning to thicken. Only a small quantity of linseed oil should be added at a time. It does not take long to learn when there is enough and when it has been slackened enough. When the wood uses up too much of the paint only a very light coat can be applied for the first, and when this is perfectly dry a second and a third coat can be given with satisfaction and a saving of paint. Woods that do not take much paint need only have two coats applied, and this is sufficient in almost every case where planed wood is being painted. All inside woodwork may be done by the housewife, with the assistance of a stepladder. This painting is done generally in white, representing old colonial style, or in oak or mahogany. All that is needed are two paint brushes, one about $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide and a very small one. The large one is to go over the wide surfaces and the small one to get into crevices or to paint thin strips such as the middle section of window sashes. After the brushes are used they can be thoroughly cleaned with petroleum and lald away for another time. Caramel Cake. Two squares chocolate, one-half cup sugar, three tablespoons of sweet milk. Beat these together until smooth. Cream one-quarter cup butter and one cup sugar, add two eggs, saving white of one, one-half cup sweet milk, one-half cup pastry flour, one good teaspoon baking powder. Mix these together, then add the other chocolate mixture, and teaspoon vanilla and beat well. Bake in two layers. Don't be too generous with butter or the cake will be too short. Frosting—Boil one cup granulated sugar and three tablespoons water until it strings well. Pour into the beaten white of egg and a pinch of cream of tartar. Beat until it will spread. Properly Made Coffee With all due respect to the criticisms of doctors anent coffee-drinking, the morning cup properly made can hardly be injurious, and is to people of a certain form of nervous temperament a food. Coffee is so seldom properly made, and yet there are many ways of accomplishing it. In some of the French restaurants milk is used instead of water, and it is therefore not only much richer, but is really nutritious. Three tablespoonfuls of coffee are used to a pint. The milk is put into the pot and when at the boiling point the coffee, always freshly ground, is put in and the whole boiled for about seven minutes then strained, and is ready to serve. Housework Mittens Kitchen mittens can be bought in several thicknesses and sizes for various branches of housework. There are thick ones with straps across the wrist to wear when polishing the range, then there are others to put on when scrubbing floors or sinks and still thinner ones with chamois cloth insides to use for polishing silverware. These mittens are a great protection to the hands and finger nails, and they really simplify the work more than those women who have not availed themselves of this convenience realize. Apples Preserved in Grape Juice. Boll four quarts of grape juice in an open preserving kettle, until reduced one-third. Have tart, mellow apples peeled, cored and quartered. Put in a porcelain lined preserving kettle, cover generously with the grape juice, and simmer gently until the apples are clear and tender. Seal at once in sterilized jars. Crabapple Jelly. Every housewife does not know that an ounce of ginger root makes a delicious taste if put into her crabapple jelly. Some cheap grades of sugar will often turn apple jelly a pinkish color.
