SO DOES ARKANSAS. RED HANDED MURDER. THE NEGRO SOLDIER AND THE BLACK DOG A NEW ISSUE. VOL. XVI. THE MO ILLINOIS GRAND JURY AC RED HANDED MURDER AND THE BLACK D THE AWAKENING. This paper has been giving close attention to the recent lynchings, and the efforts put forth by the civil authorities to suppress lawlessness. We have called attention to the Cairo riot and the appointing of a grand jury to "probe into the lawlessness" by the district judge. We have watched carefully for the findings of this investigation, to note how far those in favor of law and order would go to suppress this "the most heinous of civic crimes." It seems from the meager reports we have been able to find that the public is to be congratulated that there are some honest men in Cairo. The jury found twelve men against whom true bills were returned. The jury also hands out a severe criticism of Sheriff Nellis because he failed to call upon the city authorities for help and in the same breath excused the inactivity and actual negligence of the militia for failing to promptly respond to orders. Although somewhat mixed, the findings were a pleasing surprise and should be restraining influences to future misconduct. Much of the beneficial effect of this movement at Cairo is due to the very strenuous efforts to suppress mob violence put forth by Illinois governor and the manner in which he deals with officials who allow mobs to take prisoners or destroy public property. Much of the pleasure our people may derive from a knowledge of the work and finings of the Illinois grand jury is lost in the reports coming up from Arkansas. Down in the land of Jeff Davis a Negro was on trial for a petty crime in a Justice Court. He was a man of some prominence among his people. In giving his testimony he is reported to have said that he was "as good as any white man." On leaving the court in the custody of an officer a posse of white citizens "quietly took him from the officer and hung him," because he had presumed to declare himself the equal of any white man. These men were unmasked and are well known citizens of their town. Nothing has been done to punish those red-handed murderers. Here is absolute evidence of a conniving of public officials in the crime. The victim is not a "vile, burly, black brute," guilty of every crime in the catalogue, but a man who has been a good citizen—whose frugality and industry has added to the public good as well as his private wealth. The question very naturally comes to the intelligent and honest Negro. Is there safety from the mob anywhere? Against such flagrant violations thousands of good citizens stand ready and willing to act, but the lack of leadership and the lukewarm and indifferent conduct of public officials renders powerless the possible efforts of these people. But a time will come, just as it came when slavery ruled the land, that patience and servile acquiescence will case to be a virtue, and then—let us pray. BROWNVILLE AGAIN. The enforced retirement of Senator Foraker removed from the United States Senate the strongest champion of the "black soldier boys" arbitrarily discharged by President Roosevelt. Very little is heard these days about the "shooting up" of Brownsville, but nevertheless an investigation has been going on, and will continue until the committee is able to establish to their satisfaction, at least, that the Negro soldiers "shot up" the town. The committee has been conducting a "gum shoe" campaign that makes Senator Stone of Missouri turn green with envy. Only now and then does something come to the surface, and then only when something "dark" has been formed. Now they have found a black dog, and this time it was positively seen by "Mr. and Mrs. Odin" as the raiders went through Cowan alley, but it was described as a "large black dog" and not positively identified as belonging to Company B. But the astute Captain Howland, Recorder of the Court of Inquiry, very readily declares that the dog belonged to the soldiers of B Company; and therefore, the Negro soldiers are guilty. Not another scintilla of proof is needed. Great man this Captain; he reflects great credit on the military branch, but reasons with the facility of a bone head. It is very evident that the purpose of the Court is not to find State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO Z JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, the truth about the Brownsville affair, as it is to fasten the guilt officially on the Negro soldiers, thereby vindicating the hasty action of the late Mr. Roosevelt. But it will require more than a dog. A NEW ISSUE. The most interesting fight before the people of Denver just now is the move to make this a dry town. It promises to eclipse the long drawn out water fight and municipal ownership campaign. Just what the result will be is pretty hard to say. The business interest and future progress of the city demands that these various questions be settled at once and avoid the litigation that undoubtedly will follow. The effort to make Denver dry at this time will be abortive. The many thousands of dollars directly invested in the business and the vast sum paid to labor each month will be found to be a pretty hard proposition. Then, too, coming at this time, when the interest and energies of the people are bound up in a solution of the vexatious water question, the effort may die a-borning. CONCERNING THE ELIMINATION OF THE NEGRO. As Regards the Proposition That the Negro Should Be Eliminated From Politics. Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional Library, who by long years of patient study has placed himself in the very front rank of authorities on all questions affecting the progress of the Negro, recently published in the Washington Star, an exhaustive review of the attitude of foreign nations on the question of their Negro citizens, and the means they adopted to solve such questions in a spirit of justice to all elements of their people. The methods of rule and pacification adopted by England towards the mixed races of the Island of Mauritius and her West Indies possessions and of France in Guadaloupe and Martinique are cited as forcible examples of what can be done with such problems when there is a real spirit and intention to equalize the benefits and accomplish the permanent uplift of all classes of the people. The article traces in an interesting way the rise and progress of the Negro during his forty-eight years of freedom; his loyalty and devotion to the flag and to Republican principles; his advance along civic and educational lines and asks, "Will the majority of the American people be willing to do this injustice to their faithful ally?" Mr. Murray very logically suggests that if France and England can devise a modus vivendi along --- this line, certainly the United States can and ought to do no less. As a means of solving the much-vexed question the proposition is advanced that a commission of seven be created—four white and three colored—two white and one colored from the South, two white and one colored from the North, and one colored from the country at large. This commission to be empowered to visit the countries which have been similarly agitated over questions of color and citizenship; note the methods employed for the attainment and preservation of such relations as make for peace and good will and make such observations the basis of a report as to how "peace with honor" may be secured in the United States between her citizens of different color. Such a proposition upon first thought appears ingenious, but in the light of calm reason, carries no direct appeal and seems neither reasonable nor plausible. If the question were the disposition of some unknown, irrelevant or unassimilable quantity, such a proposition would doubtless be highly commendable, but as to the American Negro, it is simply proposterous. Indeed such a recommendation seems rather to insist, as many would have us believe, that the "problem" is insolvable, for on the face of it it is apparent, the equity of action, thought and esteem, which go to regulate the relations of individuals as well as races, rests with the people, with all the people, both individually and collectively. The heart and conscience of the people and they alone must adjust this matter and the only effective commissioner will be that which comes from the Ancient of Days to show man his duty to fellow man and to point the way from out the darkness of selfish bigotry into the sunlight of a human brotherhood. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. The following clipping is from the Avalanche, Glenwood Springs: Please permit me to say, through the columns of your paper, that the report being circulated by some irresponsible party or parties that I contemplate getting married, is false in every respect. I hold myself and the welfare of my children too highly to attempt to bring disgrace upon them. MRS. C. BROWN. Swauvall. In the sense in which Sir William Harcourt remarked "We are all socialists now," it may be said that all Anglo-Indians are believers in Swadeshi While all reasonable Anglo-Indians deprecate the senseless agitation and the unsound economics of the extremist advocates of Swadeshi principles they are all anxious to assist that natural development of indigenous industries and the creation of new ones upon which the future prosperity of the country so largely depends.—Ploeer Mall. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Larchenstein, a mulatto in England, posing as the member of the Vanderbilt family, sold bogus jewelry to Prince Francis of Braganza for $1,525,000, and did nearly as well with many other of the European nobility with whom he has long hobnobbed. E. T. Barbour, one of the most learned lawyers in Oklahoma, though he is a Negro, and despite the fact that he had several white competitors, was elected special judge of Canadian county by the forty-four members of the El Reno bar. And they say Mr. Barbour didn't even have a close shave. We learn from the Southwestern Christian Advocate that arrangements have been completed whereby Liberia will get a loan of nearly $3,500,000 besides large investments by business men; that Philadelphia bankers will open a bank there, with Mr. Fowler, one of the recent Commissioners to Liberia, as president. Plans are laid and arrangements completed for the building of an Orphans Home for Negro boys and girls at Jefferson Ridge Addition to Oklanoma City. The ground was donated by Capp Jefferson, a colored real estate man. This movement should receive the hearty co-operation of every Negro in the county.

Albany, N. Y., March 29. James C. Matthews, a prominent Negro attorney of this city, has been named executor and residuary NO. 30 legatee of the estate of the late Mary Birch Reid. The property is valued at over $125,000. Attorney Mathews had represented Mrs. Reid in legal matters for the past twenty-two years. The bequeaths amount to about $10,000. Mrs. Reid died suddenly at her home 156 Orange street, on January 5. She had lived there for 56 years and was in her eighty-fifth year. Westpoint, Ky., March 30. Rare presence of mind on the part of Clarence Douglas, a Negro boy aged 13, yesterday saved the life of 2-year-old Alice Purcell. The child ran upon the railroad track in front of the engine of a fast moving freight. The engineer reversed the lever and whistled the alarm, but the girl still continued toward the train. Women and men were terrified to the point of helplessness by the spectacle, but the boy rushed to the child, caught her up and jumped to safety just as the engine passed. New York, March 30.—The Catholic church in the United States started a great movement this week to raise $100,000 annually for mission work and education among the colored people. The Bishops of the church in the South are co operating with Rev. John E. Burke, director-general of the Catholic Board for Mission Work among the colored people. Cardinal Gibbons and other dignitaries of the church are strongly urging this movement for work among the colored people, and the Cardinal recently issued an appeal for the work. Baltimore, Md., March 30.—The twenty-fifth anniversary of the granting of the right to Negro lawyers to practice their profession in Maryland was celebrated last week. The first colored man to apply for the right to practice law in this state were James H. Wolff, now of Boston, Mass., and Charles S Taylor, now a resident of New York City. Their application for admission were denied in the lower courts on the ground that the laws of Maryland only permitted white men to practice law. This decision was upheld by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, the highest tribunal in the State. Everett J. Waring, now a practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, was the first colored man to be admitted to the bar in Maryland, his application being favorably passed upon October 10, 1885 Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has always avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circulation proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepresentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

He was accused of appropriating $50,000 of the company's funds obtained by sale of stock to the crown prince of Germany and other German noblemen. Bank Robbers Get $2,000. Weldona. — The Weldona Valley State bank at this place was robbed of $2,000 in cash at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning when yeggmen blew open the safe with dynamite. Before the bank was robbed the depredators broke into the Union Pacific depot here and riffled the cash drawer but secured less than $1. The robbers made good their escape, although two suspects are under arrest at Wiggins. Extensive Boulevards. Denver.—A bill passed Tuesday night by the board of aldermen under suspension of rules will, when it becomes an ordinance, clear the way for beginning work on the six miles of parkway planned for the Montclair park district, which, when completed, will connect City park and Congress park with an elaborate system of 225-foot parked boulevards, the total cost of which will be about $695,000. Snake Farming in Weld. Greeley.—Having had the best of success in breeding snakes, Professor E. A. Adams, head of the museum of the State Normal school, will dig out the 100 garter, king and black snakes buried in the school grounds and turn them loose on the plains. The king snakes were brought from Kansas, where they proved their worth as destroyers of rattlers and will be turned loose in localities where rattlers abound. The black snake, like the king snake, is harmless, and will be raised to prey on gophers, which damage fields and reservoir embankments. School Children Physically Defective. Denver.—William R. Callicottte, superintendent of humane education for the State Bureau of Child and Animal Protection, says that as a conservative estimate fifty percent of the school children of Colorado are defective and that only half as many country school are defective as city school children. Eye trouble is the most prevalent among the defects found. Next comes throat trouble. Ear trouble usually goes with throat trouble, and under it come adenoids. WASHINGTON TELEGRAMMICS INDIANA ANXIOUS TO FURNISH BUILDING MATERIAL FOR NEW POSTOFFICE. MONDELL BILL AMENDED COLORADO HOMESTEADERS WHO HAVE FORFEITED CLAIMS GET ANOTHER CHANCE. Washington. — With Indiana Congressmen and an attorney busy in its behalf at Washington, the big Bedford, Ind., quarry is working hard to secure the contract for material for Denver's new federal building, and the Colorado delegation finds it has hard work cut out for it. The Senate will take up the railroad bill in earnest next Monday. Senator Elkins, in charge of the measure, gave notice Wednesday that immediately after the conclusion of the routine business on Monday he would ask to have the bill proceeded with and that the voting begin whenever it developed that no one was prepared to make a speech. When at 2 o'clock, as usual, Senator Elkins was about to ask that the railroad bill be temporarily laid aside because no one was prepared to speak upon it, Clapp interrupted with the suggested that Elkins would insure a better attendance of the senators,prompt speeches and more expeditious disposition of the bill by notifying the Senate that he would press the bill Thursday. Washington.—Through the effective work on the part of Representative John A. Martin the Mondell bill, granting new rights to homesteaders who have forfeited their claims, which passed the House, was amended to include entrymen on desert claims as well as on homesteads. Hundreds in Colorado who have been compelled to allow desert entries to lapse on account of the failure to obtain irrigation facilities will be directly benefited by the bill. Representative Mondell's bill came up Wednesday afternoon. Its author was somewhat reluctant to incorporate Martin's desert land amendment, for fear it would load the measure too heavily and cause its defeat. The measure provides that homestead and desert land entrymen who have forfeited claims previous to the time when the act shall be signed by the President, shall be allowed to again exercise their rights in taking up land. The bill yet has to be passed by the Senate. Senator Guggenheim Wednesday introduced six bills providing appropriations to acquire sites for public buildings in the following Colorado cities: Colorado City, $50,000; Durango, $12,000; Fort Morgan, $20,000; Glenwood Springs, $15,000; Montrose $15,000; Sterling, $15,000; also a bill appropriating $200,000 for erection o a public building upon a site already acquired by the city of Grand Junction. Washington. — President Taft has canceled his engagement to visit Indianapolis May 5. While no statement has been issued in regard to this decision it is believed to be the direct result of the events in the Indiana State Republican convention. Washington.—The election of a Socialist Mayor in Milwaukee by a plurality almost unprecedented in that city was the subject of much comment among members of Congress Wednesday, especially those from Wisconsin Leading Republicans were inclined to minimize the political importance of the result; some of them would not admit that it was really a Socialist victory. Democrats were generally noncommunicative on the subject. But the Wisconsin Representatives view it as momentous. One of the most prominent of these, forbidding quotation by name, went so far as to say that the election of the Socialist mayor might mean the election of two Socialist congressmen from Wisconsin this fall. Washington.—Tentative agreements looking toward the ending of the coal and steel strikes in Pennsylvania, which have thrown thousands out of employment, were discussed at conferences here Wednesday participated in by H. C. Frick, Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, President McArdle of the Amalgamated Steel Workers, and other labor leaders. The result of the conference practically will assure the settlement of the coal strike, and the steel workers and officers of the United States Steel Corporation were drawn closer together, with prospects of an ending of difficulties soon. Immigration to Canada. Ottawa, Ont.—The immigration department reports that according to present indications, fully 150,000 Americans will settle in Canada this year, principally farmers from the western states. Western Union to Raise Salaries. New York.—Improvements, and increased wages for employees, is to be the attitude of the Western Union Telegraph Company.

Stuart, which occurred Monday evening, April 4th, the Colorado Statesman is only voicing the sentiment of the general public when we say that as a leader of the race, a wise counsellor of his profession, and a good and loyal citizen, Denver has lost a man whose career in life has been one of a beacon light and to follow his life is but to live one that commands unbounded respect. DEATH OF MENELIK MENELIK II. King of Abyssinia, is dead. He was the only Ethiopian ruler in Africa to maintain an independent government against the designs of greedy European powers. Italy sought to absorb his county, but he expelled the Italians in 1896 after nearly annihilating their army, and since then has enjoyed the respect of all the civilized powers. While the Abyssinians draw apart from the Negro peoples of Central Africa and the remainder of the continent, they seem to have no fairer antecedents. Menelik claimed to be a direct descendant of the Queen of Sheba, who became one of the wives of King Solomon in Old Testament times, but we have no notion how he proved it. Nevertheless he was a great and powerful ruler who brought his semi-civilized country well forward into the light of progress during his twenty-one years' reign. His grandson is heir to the throne, but, being yet in his youth, the affairs of the kingdom will be administered by a regent until he comes of age. There is some danger of trouble between the tribes over which Menelik alone held absolute sway, but it is hoped that his wise teachings will continue to lead his people along the lines of progress which he established. MORTGAGING THE HOME. SOME time back one of our daily contemporaries published a bold-faced editorial warning to the people of Denver that if they bought the plant of the Denver Union Water Company at the appraised valuation or granted the company a new franchise in which the rates would be based on that valuation, they would voluntarily place a mortgage of $355 on each and every home in the city. This was an average estimate of course, it being presumed that the better the home the larger the mortgage would be. The meaning was that taxes to this amount would be assessed against and collected on the properties of the citizens. The application of the mortgage idea to the new franchise proposition was a little vague, as it is difficult to see how a continuance of ordinary water rates creates a mortgage burden which might be otherwise escaped. But the alternative suggested by the advising journal leaves no doubt in this particular. To refuse to buy the water plant and also to refuse to grant the company a new franchise whose complete provisions have been submitted to the long consideration of the people of the city, would mean that the citizens chose to build a new water plant and to throw over the perfect plant already in operation. This would mean also that the citizens chose to pay for a new water plant an indefinite and conjecturable price, by pledging their homes for whatever amount the political promoters would eventually spend upon an estimation based upon the sharp and glaring presumptions of greedy grafters who hide their own interests behind their wild and dishonest clamors for the protection of the people. This alternative mortgage would be on the sliding scale, and that scale would be absolutely sure to slide upward. The citizen himself would have no basis upon which he could confidently ascertain the amount of the mortgage he would be compelled to place upon his home. The certainty of the mortgage would be absolute. But what faith he would be called upon to repose in the judgment and honesty of those who so viciously seek to thrust this mortgage issue upon him. He would sign his name to an obligation whose financial provisions had not been filled in, upon the promise of unknown promoters to be as reasonable in their robbery as their undeniable ignorances and growing needs would allow. He would hand over a signed blank check and give the new plant builders the privilege of filling it in for such amount as they might find themselves in need of, and he would pledge his home that their uncertain demands might be made good. Mortgage? This is a form of blind mortgage which the citizens of no first-class city in the United States have ever been foolish enough to execute. If the people of Denver choose to mortgage their homes to pay for a water plant, they have the right and the way to fix their own just price upon the efficient and perfect plant already in operation, which price would necessarily be less than the actual aggregate cost of a new plant. But if they choose not to go into the mortgage business at all, they will grant the new franchise whose provisions they have studied, which imposes no new obligations upon them and leaves their himes free from the grasp of the political harpers who seek to lead them into the undefined mazes of a political necromancy, mathematical jugglery and the law. HON. JOSEPH H. STUART DEAD. Nothing has been more shocking to the citizens of Denver than the announcement of the death of Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, which occurred last Monday evening at his room, 2421 Ogden street, of pneumonia, after an illness of only a few days. Deceased was born in St. John's, Barbados, British West Indies, February, 1854. His early youth was spent in Halifax, Nova Scotia, British West Indies, and South Carolina. He was a graduate of Cedar Hall academy and Codrington college, in the island of Barbados. In 1873 he returned to the United States, and for two years taught school in South Carolina. In 1877 he graduated in law, and in 1879 he located at Topeka, Kan., where he built up a large practice, but on account of ill health he came to Denver in 1891, and three years later was elected on the Republican ticket to the Tenth General Assembly of Colorado, and served with credit to himself and honor to the race. As a lawyer his counsel and advice was always safe, and the same is also true as a politician. As a leader of his race he was always loyal and astute in that capacity, and in his demise the Colorado Bar Association loses one of its brainiest members, and the race one of its greatest leaders, as he was ever on the alert for the uplift of his people. While we cannot find adequate words to do justice to his obituary, we can but say that his loss to the community is a blow to the progress and success of the race. Deceased is survived by one sister and brother, two nieces and a nephew, all of whom reside in the British West Indies. His friends in Denver, and in fact the entire West, are numbered by all who knew him. The funeral services will be held from Shorter A. M. E. church, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. A. M. Ward will preach the funeral service. The remains are in charge of the Lawhorn Undertaking Company, and will be laid to rest at Fairmount Cemetery. The pallbearers will be F. T. Bruce, Joseph D. D. Rivers, T. J. Riley, George S. Contee, L. C. Connell, W. B. Townsend, A. A. Earley and B. P. Johnson. DO YOU WANT HIGHER TAXES? The real interest of the small property holder in the water question resolves itself into the question: "Will our taxes and our expenses of supporting and maintaining our property be higher or lower under municipal ownership of the water system?" You may be certain they will be higher. The Denver Union Water Company derived, last year, a total revenue of $1,967,388.22. Out of this it must meet all of the expenses of its business. If the City of Denver acquires the plant of The Denver Union Water Company, or builds a new plant, the cost, per annum, to the people of the city will be at least fifty per cent. greater than the charge under private ownership. A new plant will cost the city more before it is complete than the appraised valuation of the existing plant. This is conceded by every authority on the subject and is denied only by Tom Patterson, "Clean-up" John Rush and a few of their satellites who hope to get political jobs as a result of the water plant agitation. The lowest possible cost per annum under which a municipal plant could be operated, if the city had title to it and was ready to go into the water business right now, is set forth in the following table: Interest ..... $ 675,000 Sinking fund ..... 300,000 Operation and maintenance ..... 350,000 Extensions ..... 150,000 General expenses ..... 100,000 Total ..... $1,575,000 This would require an immediate increase of fifty per cent. in the water rates now charged by the private company. Consumers who now pay $10.00 a year would pay $15.00; consumers who now pay $20.00 per year would pay $30.00; those paying $30.00 per year, would pay $45.00; and so on. To show that this statement is founded on fact, and not on idle fancy, we quote the section of the city charter that governs the fixing of charges and rates* for public utilities owned by the city. The section follows: Charter of the City and County of Denver, Section 263: "The Council shall fix the rates for the service to be rendered by each such public utility, work or way, until such public utility, work or way shall have been fully paid, or its payment provided for, by sinking fund, as aforesaid, SUCH RATES SHALL NEVER BE LESS THAN SUFFICIENT ANNUALLY, TO PAY ALL COSTS OF MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION, PLUS ACCRUING INTEREST ON ALL OUTSTANDING BONDS, AND PLUS SUCH PRO RATA AMOUNT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE TOTAL ISSUE OF BONDS AS SHALL BE NECESSARY TO PRODUCE THE PRINCIPAL OF EACH INSTALLMENT OF BONDS AS SUCH INSTALLMENTS MATURE, AND, IF, DURING ANY ONE YEAR THE RATES CHARGED SHALL PROVE INSUFFICIENT FOR SUCH PURPOSE, THEY SHALL BE INCREASED FOR THE NEXT SUCCEEDING YEAR SUFFICIENTLY TO PAY SUCH DEFICIENCY." This charter provision can not be set aside or disregarded unless the charter is amended. Even then the setting aside of it would only be for the purpose of obtaining out of the funds, derived from general taxation, so much of the money needed for the water plant as the direct revenue from that plant failed to produce. Such a course would be merely robbing Peter to pay Paul. The property holder would still pay the bill. General taxes have increased steadily during the past five years. The following table, showing the levies and valuations upon which those levies were made, shows how much: Tax of 1905 (Revenue of 1906) 1906 (Revenue of 1907) 1907 (Revenue of 1908) 1908 (Revenue of 1909) 1909 (Revenue of 1910) Assessed Val. ...$115,338,920 $115,052,910 $118,921,855 $122,356,680 $130,000,000 City General ...$11.30 $11.50 $11.20 $12.00 $11.70 Firemen's P'n fund .10 .10 .10 .10 .10 Bond Interest .50 .40 .20 .20 .50 Sinking fund .60 .90 .80 .70 .60 Parks .1.50 1.70 2.00 2.00 2.00 Total City ...$15.00 $14.60 $14.30 $15.00 $14.90 State .4.00 4.00 4.00 4.00 4.10 County .4.50 4.50 6.00 5.50 5.50 Schools .9.00 9.50 9.50 9.50 10.50 Total Levy ...$32.50 $32.60 $33.80 $34.00 $35.00 In 1905 the property holder, whose property was assessed at $1,000, paid, in taxes, $32.50. In 1909 he paid on the same valuation, $35.00. This is exclusive of the assessments for special improvements in the various park, sewer, curbing and grading districts with which the people in every section of the city have had considerable experience. The revenue for city purposes from the levy of 14.9 mills for 1909 will be approximately $1,937,000. The difference between the revenue of The Denver Union Water Company and the amount that would be required by a municipally operated plant is equivalent to about twenty-seven per cent. of the gross revenue of the city from the tax levy for city purposes. It is reasonable to assume that, under city ownership, the additional revenue, required for the water plant, would be distributed pro rata among the taxpayers. LOOK AT YOUR TAX BILL. ADD TWENTY-SEVEN PER CENT. TO THE AMOUNT FOR CITY PURPOSES AND YOU WILL HAVE A FAIRLY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF THE WATER PLANT WILL COST YOU. If Denver gets no more for her money in any of the proposed forms of municipal ownership than she has in employing experts to defend her rights in the water controversy she will be playing in hard luck. Former Governor C. S. Thomas spoke at a public gathering the other day at the Albany hotel and began his speech by saying he was not prepared to discuss the water question except in a general way. He said he had been engaged in a mining suit for a week and had no time to look up the facts. If Governor Thomas does not have the facts concerning the water question in Denver at his finger's ends what has he been doing all the time he was supposed to be the city's defender before the board of appraisers? Denver taxpayers remember that the appraisement proceedings began in the fall of 1907. Governor Thomas was employed to look after the rights of the city and get the appraisers to make the value of the water plant as low as possible. He has been paid more than $20,000 for this work. He had at his command all the machinery of his employer, the City of Denver, to help him get at the facts. The books of the water company were opened, the plant was inspected in detail, the title to the water rights scanned and the value of everything owned by the company tested to the limit. The work of the appraisement committee took up fourteen months' time and Governor Thomas was supposed to be on the job constantly. At least he was paid to be there and the taxpayers put up the fee. Governor Thomas is still the attorney of record in the proceedings following the appraisement in which the city has an interest. He began drawing money nearly three years ago to pay him for his labors in behalf of Denver in this water controversy, and if he still lacks preparation when, if ever, will he be prepared? What the taxpayer would like to know is: What kind of services does an expert give for a fee big enough to pay the salary of the state's governor for two terms? The man who eats his lunch six days in the week out of a tin pail and pays his taxes out of his small wages may be pardoned for getting hot in the collar on hearing the legal expert of the city say that he has been asleep at the switch all these months. A working man who took all that time to get ready to begin what he was hired to do would be fired. Perhaps Governor Thomas does not come under the same rule as a man doing a different kind of work for mere wages. He was employed as a legal expert and experts of any kind generally get more than they are worth. There was another expert working on the same job as that on which Governor Thomas was employed. Abraham Lincoln Fellows, expert engineer, shared in another big fee from the city. He stated in a recent address that he was not prepared to discuss the water question because of lack of preparation. Like Governor Thomas he took the taxpayers' money, but seems not to have studied the taxpayers' case. The mill can never grind with the water that has passed. It is too late now for Governor Thomas to lay aside his important law suit and try to pick up the knowledge he was paid to master two years ago. It is also too late for Abraham Lincoln Fellows to begin his long delayed preparation. The big fees were paid for work before the board of appraisers. When a man is paid to go into an affair of such immense consequences to his city as that water appraisement was he ought either to fish, cut bait or go ashore. If Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows never studied the water question they should have resigned and given their places to men who would have given value received for the money they got. But perhaps the taxpayers' experience with these experts will not be altogether lost. It may be a lesson that will save in the future more than it has cost. It is a sample of what taxpayers may expect when any municipal ownership scheme is under way. It will be a case of big pay and little work and the taxpayer will be left holding the empty sack. If Governor Thomas and Mr. Fellows had been given these vast sums by a private company to go before a board of appraisement and defend its interests would they have been able to say after it was all ended that they needed additional preparation? Such an admission would subject them to a law suit to make them give back the fees. Private companies get what they pay for or know the reason. A blind man could feel of the Denver situation with his cane and tell why Abraham Lincoln Fellows is so active for municipal ownership. He wants another fee as an expert for the city. Perhaps Governor Thomas may have a lingering belief that there is more money where his last $20,000 came from. As the ox knoweth his master and the ass his master's crib, these two experts know a good thing when they meet it. The question for the property owner to decide is: Does it pay to throw good money after bad and hire an army of experts to eat up the taxes and give as little as Governor Thomas and Abraham Lincoln Fellows have? A municipal water plant in Denver would be fine picking for experts, legal and otherwise. Denver people are prosperous, generous and admire nerve as much as anyone. Philanthropy has its limits, however, and a taxpayer can keep healthy in this climate without working for money to fee expert employees. Municipal ownership, in this stimulating atmosphere, would take on too much the appearance of a gift enterprise to bring joy to anyone except the men who got away with the fancy fees and salaries.

The Ladies Aid Society will have its semi-annual election Thursday, April 14th. The pastor will serve the society and the meeting will be held at night. The Lincoln Annual Conference has returned the Rev. J. N. Wallace to Scott's for another year. Mrs. Anna Bobo is visiting in Kansas City, Mo. She will attend the Central Missouri Annual Conference and will return to Denver. Mr. W. S. Evans has been added as the new teacher of the Bible class in the Sunday school. Brother Evans is a good worker in any department of the church. The class meetings are growing in interest. We invite you to come and spend an evening with us. Mrs. Ada Castry has decided toocast her lot with us. Sermon topics, Sunday, April 10: 11 a. m., "Fight or Die." 7 p. m.: Y. P. S. C. E., "God Is Here." Ps. 139, 1-12. 8 p. m.: "Tragedy of a Woman's Love." Prayer meeting, "The Glorious Transformation." Phil., 3:20-21. Last Sunday we were favored with quite a few new faces at our services. Among them were Mr. Wilson, a blue-stocking Presbyterian from Indiana; Dr. Crosswaite and Mr. J. H. Gibbs and family. It is very gratifying to note the success in all the departments of the church work. The Y. P. S. C. E., Sabbath school, Forum, women's sewing circle, Bible institute, are all giving satisfaction. The church will report to the Presbytery of Denver on the 19th inst. the sum of $1,674.90, a net gain of twenty-three members, and the church filled with the spirit of Christ as a result of nine months' work. This is in addition to a gift of $2,000 from the Presbyterian family. The pastor is under obligation to the ladies of the church for their surprising him in such a way. Thanks for the sumptuous spread last Friday night week. The congregation appreciates the acceptable services rendered by Mrs. Maude Kerr, Mrs. H. H. Pierce and Miss Alline Gibbs in the choir last Sabbath; also the part performed by the last two named ladies at the Forum Thursday night. For visitors and friends—If you are without a church home, come. We can help you. If you are looking for church work, come. You can help us. CAMPBELL A. M.

The urine was in a terrible state, and some days I would pass half a gallon of blood. I left more Marine Hospital for nine months. I had a dull pain in the small of my back that completely wore me out. The urine was in a terrible state, and some days I would pass half a gallon of blood. I left the hospital because they wanted to operate on me. I went to St. Joseph's Hospital at Omaha and put in three months there without any gain. I was pretty well discouraged when I was advised to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so and by the time I had taken one box, the pain in the back left me. I kept right on and a perfect cure was the result." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo., N. Y. National Tuberculosis Sunday. National Tuberculosis Sunday. Present indications point to a general observance of National Tuberculosis Sunday in more than 200,000 churches of the country on April 24. Reports from heads of local anti-tuberculosis associations, health officers, pastors, mayors, governors, and numerous interdenominational bodies show much enthusiasm over the movement. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has prepared an outline for a tuberculosis sermon for use on April 24, which will be sent free of charge to any clergyman applying at 105 East Twenty-second street, New York. Thousands of these outlines are being sent out weekly to all parts of the country. Prominent churchmen, including bishops and heads of all the leading denominations, have expressed their approval of the movement. A Terrible Risk. Typhoid had broken out in their neighborhood and the family resorted to travel as the best means of precaution until the trouble should subside. They arrived at Quebec by the morning boat, intending to take it to Montreal in the evening, but the sight-seers got tired and returned early in the afternoon to find the top of the smoke stack on a level with the deck, the tide having dropped 18 feet. "Mamma," cried the little girl, "did God drink up all that water?" "Yes, my child." "Then hadn't we better tell him it wasn't boiled?" Look to Welfare of Workmen. A significant phase of the campaign against tuberculosis in Sweden is the establishment by various industrial concerns, of sanatoria for tuberculous workmen from their own factories. The Vulcan Match Company, the Ljusne-Voxne Timber Company, the Sandviken Hardware Company, the Eriksson Telephone Company and the Stora Kopparsberg Company are among those who maintain such institutions, each accommodating from 15 to 30 patients. At these sanatoria the workmen are received free, and their families may be admitted for a small charge. Alas. A little five-year-old who had been watching her mother dress for an evening entertainment surprised her mother with the following question: "Mother, didn't you say you were almost 40 years old?" "Yes," replied the mother. "Well," answered the little girl, "you don't look it to-night, but you will to-morrow morning."—Judge. Progress. Knicker—Now we have children taught how to play. Bocker—Fine; next we shall have animal trainers to show lambs how to gambol. ROSY COLOR Produced by Postum. "When a person rises from each meal with a ringing in the ears and a general sense of nervousness, it is a common habit to charge it to a deranged stomach. "I found it was caused from drinking coffee, which I never suspected for a long time, but found by leaving of coffee that the disagreeable feelings went away. "I was brought to think of the subject by getting some Postum and this brought me out of trouble. "It is a most appetizing and invigorating beverage and has been of such great benefit to me that I naturally speak of it from time to time as opportunity offers. "A lady friend complained to me that she had tried Postum, but it did not taste good. In reply to my question she said she guesed she boiled it about ten minutes. I advised her to follow directions and know that she boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and she would have something worth talking about. A short time ago I heard one of her children say that they were drinking Postum now-a-days, so I judge she succeeded in making it good, which is by no means a difficult task. "The son of one of my friends was formerly a pale lad, but since he has been drinking Postum, has a fine color. There is plenty of evidence that Postum actually does 'make red blood," as the famous trade-mark says." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in nkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. THE LATE ELECTIONS IN BRIEF Colorado. Palisade.—Wet. Rifle.—Wet by eleven. Marble.—Continues dry. Como.—P.

GUGGENHEIM BILL PASSES SENATE IMPORTANT TO COLORADO—IN CREASE FROM FOREST RESERVES $25,000 OR MORE. SCHOOLS AND ROADS SCHOOLS AND ROADS PORTY-TWO OUT OF 60 COLORADO COUNTIES ARE IN THE NATIONAL FOREST ZONE. Washington.—Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado has secured an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill to increase from 25 per cent to 35 per cent the moneys to be paid to the states and territories, out of the receipts of their respective forest reserves, to be expended for roads and schools, under the direction of the legislatures, in the counties in which the reserves are located. This amendment passed the Senate and the bill is now in conference. The senator has strong hopes that it will be agreed to. This is quite an important item so far as Colorado is concerned. In 1907 the amount received by Colorado from grazing permits, sale of timber, etc., from its forest reserves was $15,791.67—under the law at that time the state received but 10 per cent. of the receipts. In 1908 the amount was increased by law to 25 per cent., and Colorado received $50., $55.67 in 1908, and $59,761.28 in 1909. If Senator Guggenheim's amendment increasing the amounts from 25 per cent. to 35 per cent. is finally adopted, it will mean an increase over the present amounts received of 40 per cent., or almost $25,000 a year more. The amounts paid to the states and territories from the receipts of their forest reserves for the years 1907, 1908 and 1909, were as follows: 1907 (10 per cent.) $153,032.19; 1908 (25 per cent.) $447,063.79; 1909 (25 per cent.) $444,379.00. Under Senator Guggenheim's amendment it would be figured on last year's receipts, $622,130, or $177,751 more than the amount paid this year. On June 30th, there were included within the forest reserves of the United States, after deducting not only lands actually alienated through the issuance of patent or final certificate, but also claims entered or pending, insofar as they were known to the Forest Service through notification from the general land office. 145,541,222 acres, or about 227,408 square miles; an area larger than the entire New England states, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Ohio combined—the total area of these states being but 214,683 square miles. Of the total area of forest reserves in the United States, all but 2,774 square miles thereof lies west of the 104th principal meridian. Of the entire area of Colorado over $23\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. is within national forest boundaries; in California almost 28 per cent.; in Arizona, 21 per cent.; Idaho, 37 per cent.; Montana, 22 per cent.; Nevada, 7 per cent.; New Mexico, 14 per cent.; Oregon, almost 27 per cent.; in Utah, 14 per cent.; in Washington, 28 per cent., and in Wyoming, $14\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. Out of sixty counties in the state of Colorado, forty-two of them lie partly or wholly within the national forests. All of the eighteen counties not within the reserves are plains counties, and never had any timber on them; the cultivation of their soil being entirely dependent upon irrigation or by dry farming methods. The counties lying wholly without the national forests in Colorado contain 37 per cent. of the land surface of the state and 44 per cent. of its population. While it is true that the lands included in forest reservations are not taxable by the state for any purpose, the progress of settlement is impeded in these sections; meas of communication are often hampered; the burdens of the state and of the counties are increased, without any ample return from the government—its lands not paying taxes, not being occupied, nor permitted to be used by the people. The amendment increasing the amount to be paid out of the proceeds of forest reserves from 25 per cent, to 35 per cent, would seem like a very inadequate return for the withdrawal from use and settlement, but on the other hand it will be of great benefit to the people of the state in that it is expended in the building of roads which should endure for ages, and for the building of schools and for school purposes. As good roads has become the slogan, this is a means to build through Colorado's mountains highways which should be as much traveled in a few years hence by travelers who come to see the "American Alps," as are their counterparts in Europe. "Schools and roads have been this nation's greatest civilizers," said Senator Guggenheim, speaking of this bill. "Without these conservators of intelligence and communication we might still be trading wampum and eating raw fish and buffalo meat, and the conservation of our resources would be but an idle dream. Every school house and every road in this country is an asset that cannot be measured in dollars and every means that can be used to multiply them and to extend their usefulness adds to the moral and material well being of our people. The stomach is a larger factor in "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" than most people are aware. Patriotism can withstand hunger but not dyspepsia. The confirmed dyspeptic "is fit for treason, stratagems and spoils." The man who goes to the front for his country with a weak stomach will be a weak soldier and a fault finder. A sound stomach makes for good citizenship as well as for health and happiness. Diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are promptly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY.

Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it comes to his own table. He feeds his stock carefully, avoids over-feeding and selects the stock food that he believes will give the best returns in strength and general efficiency. If he has been watching the extensive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Oats." Quaker Oats is mentioned because it is recognized in this country and Europe as the best of all oatmeals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else. 61 IN DOUBT. Jinks—That chap that wrote a historical novel forged a note. Now he's in jail. Blinks—What was he convicted for? Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollar and fifty cents' worth of material will completely transform a crude, inartistic room into a graceful, dainty apartment. Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike. That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money. Wall paper is expensive—it costs money to buy it, to hang it and again to remove it. With the use of the alabastone wall there is only the slight cost of the material—any one can brush it on—and it is not necessary to wash it off the wall when a new coat is required. It is very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but the results are simply beautiful. A whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of a single room when ordinary materials are used. And this is true, that now that we have so much better materials for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as old ones and rough hewn floors. More money is no longer an essential in good housefurnishing in artistic home making. The new materials and labor-saving machines are most welcome to us all—and every thoughtful woman, every woman cares for her home, is quick to utilize them. In Demand. "An infant in a Pullman car set up a loud wall, and would not be comforted," narrates a high railroad official, "and I came forward and told the young mother that I had helped to raise five, and that I thought I could secure a quietus. I put the little tum tum across my knees, and with a gentle jogging achieved beautiful results. "Instead of giving me the credit I deserved, some drummers in the car showed stern disapproval of my 'butting in.'" "At 2 a. m., the baby woke up and stayed awake, and kept every one else in the car awake. Finally a gruff voice asked: "Where's that fool that put it to sleep this afternoon, I wonder?" Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the ear, and the ear canal is the tube in which the tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be controlled, the ear will be damaged, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Keep Sloan's Liniment on hand and apply at the first sign of stiffness. It's wonderfully penetrating — goes right to the spot — relieves the soreness — limbens up the joints and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Here's the Proof. Mr. G. T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga., R.F.D. N.1, Box 43, writes: "I have used your Liniment on a horse for sweetey and effected a thorough cure. I also removed a spavin on a mule. This spavin was as large as a guinea egg. In my estimation the best remedy for lameness and soreness is Sloan's Liniment Mr. H. M. Gibbs, of Lawrence, Kans, R.F.D.

I keep it around all the time for galls and small swellings and for everything about the stock." Sloan's Liniment will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swollen joints, and is a sure and speedy remedy for fistula, sweeney, founder and thrush.

RELICS IN COBWEBS CONGRESS ATTIC SEARCH RE- VEALS RARE LETTERS. Missive In Which First President's Wife Consented to Removal of His Body Found—Mrs. Lincoln's Letter. In an unlighted and cobwebbed corner of the attic of the house of representatives, in Washington, covered with dust and yellow and falling to pieces from age, the house committee on accounts has rescued a large number of letters and documents of the early days of the republic, which are of the greatest historic respectives, in Washington, covered with dust and yellow and falling to pieces from age, the house committee on accounts has rescued a large number of letters and documents of the early days of the republic, which are of the greatest historic value. Among them are letters from Washington, Jefferson, Lafayette, Jay, Monroe and many others. To two of them a peculiar, sentimental interest attaches. These are letters written by Martha Washington and Mary Todd Lincoln, the former concerning the proposed removal of the body of her husband from Mount Vernon to a crypt in the capitol, and the other applying to the government for a pension. Both are addressed to the speaker of the house. The house has voted an appropriation of $2,500 to have these historic papers cared for and deposited in the Library of Congress as the house of representatives' collection. The two letters read as follows: To the Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives: 61 Repress me. Sir: While I feel the keenest anguish over the hail dispensation of Divine Providence I cannot be insensible of the mournful tributes, respect and veneration which are paid the memory of my dear deceased husband. And as his best services and most anxious wishes were always devoted to the welfare and happiness of the country to know that they were truly appreciated and gratefully remembered, affords me no unconsiderable consolation. Taught by the greatest example which I had so long before me, never to oppose my private wishes to the public will, I must consent to the request made by congress which you have the good wishes to transmit to me, and in doing so I need not—I cannot say what a sacrifice of individual feeling I make to a sense of public duty. With grateful acknowledgement and unfeigned thanks for the personal respect and evidences of condolences expressed by congress and yourself, I remain very respectfully, sir, your most obedient servant. MRS. MARTHA WASHINGTON. Mrs. Lincoln's letter was as follows: To the Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives: Sir: I herewith most respectfully present to the honorable house of representatives an application for a pension. I am a widow of a president of the United States, whose life was sacrificed in his country's service. That said, longevity has very greatly impaired my health, and by the advice of my physician I have come over to Germany to try the mineral waters and during the winter to go to Italy. But my financial means do not permit me to take advantage of the urgent advice given me, nor can I live in a style becoming a widow of the chief magistrate of the state, nor can I live locally as I possibly can. In consideration of the great services my dearly beloved husband has rendered to the United States and of the fearful loss I have sustained by his untimely death—harsy martyrdom, I may say I respectfully submit my heartfelt condolences hoping that a yearly pension may be granted me so that I may have less pecuniary care. I remain most respectfully. MRS. A. LINCOLN. Frankfort, Germany. Mrs. Lincoln was granted a pension of $5,000 per year following her application. Makes a New Member Wonder. Hamilton Fish of New York is a new member of congress, for else he would not talk in this way: "I would like to see a map showing how much 'pork' for his district each member is getting out of that river and harbor barrel. I observed that all our regular watchdogs, like Tawney, Mann and Macon, were entirely silent while debate on this bill was cut off and the thing rushed through. It is remarkable how this bill was reported to the house Friday and by special arrangement rushed to consideration Monday with only two hours' general debate allowed on it. I don't remember just how many hours we devoted the other day to the matter of making a little appropriation of $6,000 for an art commission for the District of Columbia, but here was a measure appropriating $42,000,000 and committing the government to the payment of untold millions more, and we are allowed only two hours' debate on it." Incorporating Dead Men. "Without batting an eye or turning a hair" the senate passed two bills, one incorporating the "American Academy of Art and Letters," and the other incorporating the "National Institute of Arts and Letters." Without regard to the fact that the bills contained the names of a dozen dead men, they were pushed through just as they were introduced two years ago. The house committee has amended the bills by striking out the names of the dead men. More Pay for Postmen. It is expected that an effort will be made by many members of congress to increase the salaries of postoffice clerks in different part of the country, and also to increase the salaries of rural carriers so as to make them fairly compensatory for the labor the carriers perform. Congressmen Talk About Tennessee's Methods of Getting "Pork" for His District. A group of congressmen were talking about what each had "snaffled off" in the way of "pork" in the river and harbor bill. "Oh, well," remarked Maynard of the Norfolk, Va., district, "I haven't got so very much"—he had been accused of a big grab—"think what Brownlow would have taken had he been in my place." "But Brownlow had only drops of water where you have barrels," was the reply of one man. "Brownlow works steadily, and surely, taking an average of $5,000 a day for his district all the time he is in congress. Brownlow has every cemetery in east Tennessee in charge, and its keeping paid by the government." "Do you remember," asked another member "the day he worked Andrew Johnson's grave off on us? He cried a bit and laughed a little, but we passed his bill, and the only president's grave which is in the care and keeping of the United States is that of Andrew Johnson. The graves of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant are not under the care of the United States. Johnson would not have been so honored if Brownlow had not gone after it. He has a way of getting what he wants." "One day in the committee on appropriations," said Madden of Illinois, "the subject of building new White House stables came up. Roosevelt was anxious about it and had let the committee know his views. "I'm for it,' said Brownlow, 'and what's more, I want the finest stables that can be built put up and paid for. As things look now, about as close to the White House as I ever will get is the stables, and I want them fixed up comfortable so I can have a good place to stay." ROOT MAINTAINED DIGNITY New York Senator Stopped Collection of Fund in Senate to Make a Present. You who work in offices know how you feel when a fellow worker comes to you with a slip of paper and says, "Put down your name. Only quarter, half dollar, dollar, anything will do." You frown and ask, "What's this?" "Wedding present for Bill. Bill's going to be married next week. Got to give him something you know." So you, grudgingly, give the least amount you think you can get by with. Of course, the emotion in the chest of Senator Root wasn't precisely this when he blocked Senator Gore's little token of esteem game in Washington recently. Gore had started a petition in the senate to raise money to purchase a parting gift for Senator Gordon, who goes back to Mississippi, after serving 60 days in the senate. Pages flew hither and yon. One came to Root. Root was there with the "What's this?" query, all right. He was almost amazed when he was informed; he was not entirely amazed for the reason that that's not his way. But he frowned beneath his bangs. Then he sent a page to Senator Gore with a polite squelch for immediate delivery. The blind senator called off his party. "Senator's too dignified a body for anything like that," was Root's idea. DOLLIVER A FAMILY MAN Senior Iowa Senator Is a Person of Strong Domestic Leanings Senator Dolliver of Iowa is a person with strong domestic leanings. He participated in a little incident in the senate elevator the other afternoon that would have gladdened Roosevelt's heart. The elevator was pretty well crowded when the senator came hustling down the corridor, "shooing" four children ahead of him. They must have started at about the age of four and stopped at the age of nine "All yours?" asked another senator. "You bet!" said Dolliver. "This one here"—he indicated a pretty child—the littlest—"is the one that played havoc with your walnut sweets." "Well, I declare," said Senator No. 2, and he leaned over and put a question to her in baby talk. She only hung her head till the elevator reached the senate floor. Then Dolliver "shooed" her and the others out into that corridor. Counterfeiters in Washington. Counterfeiters in Washington. It seems that Washington has been harboring a snug little nest of counterfeiters for some time. The money that has been passing about the city has fallen into the hands usually of newsbys, fruit dealers and that class of easiest prey to deceive with small change. The dimes and nickels are so crudely stamped that they ought not to deceive a child, and yet it is thought that the passage of this class of counterfeit money had reached large proportions. Several Italians have been arrested. Red Tops and Copper Toes. W. J. Eaton of St. Louis bemoans the fact that things are not as they used to be. "When I was a boy," he said to a Washington reporter, "we spoke of a person's being 'as happy as a boy with a pair of red-top boots,' but they don't make red-top boots any more, such as were the pride of boys in the sixties and seventies. Youngsters in my generation exulted when they had a pair of red-top boots with copper toes. Such boots made great Christmas gifts for boys." Incident in the Garden of Eden That Must Be Taken for What It Is Worth. Rev. Dr. Charles Townsend of Orange was one of the speakers at the Park Presbyterian Church Men's club banquet last week, and told this story of one of the troubles of the original ancestor: "Adam had eaten the elaborate repast furnished by his helpmeet with every indication that he relished each morsel. He complimented her upon the dainty manner in which the blue-points were served, the flavor of the purée of pea, the seasoning of the fish and entree, and finally reached a delicious salad. Adam paused, and with a worried look on his face he demanded of Eve where she found the ingredients. She enumerated all except the lettuce. "Where did you get those leaves?" he demanded. "Why, they were lying on a bush in the back yard," she replied, sweetly. "Well, those were my best Sunday trousers," sobbed Adam, adding, "Ah, who is man," which was corrupted into 'woman,' the term by which we know Eve's daughters."—Newark Star. BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." Murphy. The prisoner at the bar was of swarthy complexion and was charged with peddling without a license. "What is your name?" asked the magistrate. "He says his name is Murphy," repeated the policeman on the bridge. "An Irishman peddling bananas, eh? What part of Ireland do you come from?" "He says he was born in Italy," again repeated the bridge policeman. "Umph! The Murphys are numerous, but I didn't think they had spread to Italy," said the judge as he made the fine $1 and asked the man to spell his name. The prisoner wrote on a piece of paper "Gluseppe Muerfee."—New York Sun. Vindictive Cuss. "Ugh!" spluttered Mr. Jones. "That nut had a worm in it."

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM FOR BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES, BACKAKE 18375 "Guaranteed" GLADNESS COMES~ With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of illness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constituted condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that it is the only remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is, therefore, all-important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to purchase and note that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual constipation permanently, also billiousness and the many ills resulting therefrom. The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they fail to act when a single dose is taken, but that they act too violently and invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the ladies find it delightful and beneficial whenever a laxative remedy is needed, and business men pronounce it invaluable, as it may be taken without interfering with business and does not gripe nor nauseate. When buying note the name, California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. Price, 50 cents a bottle. A Free Book About Beautiful Walls We have just issued a book send you a copy—free?

Yes, it seems to be one of the mistakes that get worse the more you try to rectify it.—Houston Post. Spring Millinery V THE HAT By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. WHEN the thermometer marks zero weather in early February or earlier, the great importing millinery houses are humming with business. They are filled with an army of women choosing from be wildering varieties of the flowers and feathers and laces, the airy fabrics and lustrous ribbons and all the other decorative materials with which they intend to clothe the heads of their patrons. These enterprising women have found a world of blossoms this season, wherein all the flowers of the garden and those of the field have been faithfully copied in muslin or silk or tulle. No other trimming is shown in such profusion and hats are really flower laden. The blossoms are arranged in masses over the crowns, in wreaths and bandeau and in smart standing aigrette effects. Often they are lightly swathed in tulle which covers them in swirls or soft puffs. This redeems the masses of flowers from a too heavy appearance. The shapes on which such a pro Utility More Than Ornament Is the Idea in This Millinery Accessory. Nowadays the hatpin is an important millinery accessory, and cleverly combines beauty with utility in an almost unfeminine way. So important is this little ornament that the only trimming on a large shape will be jeweled disks that are very satisfying to the woman who aims at elegant simplicity. Besides the huge round forms there are long cylindrical pins studded with jewels; there are conventional forms that hint of the orient in their coloring; there are pins that offer suggestions of home manufacture, for brocade, tapestry and linen are the materials used. One little shop in Paris has shown pins with tops of straw or raffia, woven to match the hats with which these novelties are to be worn. In another milliner's, lace flowers are used to cover the Dresden silk cushion. These are extremely pretty with the tulle turbans and large lace-trimmed straws. The Frenchwoman insists upon hatpin sets that are kept with their respective shapes, and on no occasion will the disks be used to fasten the wrong hat on her head. It is just one more evidence of her attention to the little details that combine to create a harmonious whole. A Chic Fashion. Black and dark silk and satin spencers are being worn just now with white day-time gowns. The gowns are of all sorts, linens, pongees and wools. The abbreviated little coats or walstes are natty affairs. They are straight across the back, and of any shape just above the waist line that fancy prescribes. Many of the new ones are pointed at the front, and finished with quaint plinked ruches, plaited or shirred. Eastening at Shoulder There has come about a wide return to blouses that fasten across one shoulder or both. In the latter case there is no fastening under the arm. The opening is straight across the top, and the garment goes over the head like a sweater. It is then fastened down each shoulder seam with small loops of braid and crochet buttons. Accessory. THE FLOWER MARKET fusion of flower trimming is shown, vary in style and in size from the small close-fitting oriental turban to the largest of picture hats. The summer girl will delight in the wide brims and flowing lines with masses of blossoms, and she will bring down blessings and other things upon her pretty head when she takes up more space than really belongs to her. But whoever saw too many flowers? The summer girl is sure to be forgiven, no matter to what extremes she goes—and she knows it. These large shapes are not pretty when made in any other than the lightest weight straws or in hair braids. Hemp has come to be most popular, and hair-braid hats are always good style and "classy." The smaller hats are nearly all made of braids. These are so light in weight that they are sewed into plaques or squares and draped as easily as if they were cloth. For the turban shapes the trimming is placed in smart-standing effects and there are numbers of grass and flower sprays made up for the purpose of trimming them. Variety of Shades as Best Adapted to the Various Designs and Colorings. Broad blue ribbon velvet of a dull but glorious shade is snappy on light straw. Velvet facings in heavy black cover the whole crown and brim of leghorn, leaving only the under facing of the braid. Cabachons of plaited ribbon velvet are the tallored touch demanded on the rough-and-ready walking hat. No evidence as yet that last season's hearse-like velvet hat will predominate during the warmest weather. Narrow facings of velvet on brims and beneath them cover only a part of the straw. When big velvet bows are used they are wired and alternated with maline bows to give delicacy. Light blue loops of two-inch ribbon velvet are mixed with forget-me-nots on a flower-crowned model. Crystal Bugles In Style. It is said on very good authority that many of the newest evening gowns are to be trimmed with crystal bugles to the exclusion of the multi-colored effects in vogue during the past winter. This change is quite the natural order of things, for crystal bugles are really very summery, and they will reflect the changeable qualities of the newest silks, giving them a gossamer look, as though they were made of some dream stuff. This result is especially suited to the debutante, who usually makes her first semi-formal appearance during the summer. French Gloves. The Parisian tinted glove is with us whether we will or not. We may pick it up or lay it down, but it has been sent to our shores in tones to match the most elaborate gowns. It is doubtful of acceptance at the hands of fair Americans, although Parisian women pull it on with gusto New Spring Color. Chantecler is one of the new spring colors. Probably an attempt to copy the brilliant purple pink of the coxcomb gave this color its right to the name of Rostand's shade that promises to take New York by storm. J. B. R. E.
