PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV.IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Colorado Annual Conference Colorado nual Co The Colorado Annual Conference of the A. M. E. church was held by Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago last week at Albuquerque, N. M., and the reports rendered showed that the several charges are enjoying a healthy growth. From almost every appointment a substantial increase in membership was reported. The adherents of Allen showed their loyalty to the faith by sending up to the conference the largest financial report in its history. The receipts of the conference footed up more than $3,000, of which $600 for the conference missionaries. Our local churches were not a whit behind in their reports; Campbell sending $145.50 for dollar money and Shorter reporting for dollar money, $440 and for all purposes over $6,000. So well pleased were the officers and members of Shorter with the life labors of their pastor that they sent a strong petition to the Bishop asking for the return of Rev. Robert L. Pope. The conference branch of the Mite Missionary Society held its annual session during the conference and the returns ($445.56) were easily in advance of all previous records. The election of officers resulted as follows: Mrs. J. P. Watson, president, Mrs. J. M. Pope, vice president, Mrs. Mabel Failing, secretary, and Mrs. J. W. Braxton, treasurer. Rev. A. M. Ward gave a good account of his stewardship on the Rocky Mountain district and in recognition of his faithfulness, he was reassigned for another year. This session of the conference was confronted with a number of grave questions, but the bishop and members proved themselves equal to the task. The issues were met squarely and bravely and were adjusted in such a way as to maintain a high moral standard for the church and ministry. While all the sessions were well attended, the Sunday services came in for special mention. The ordination sermon was preached by Rev. A. M. Ward, and at its, close, Bishop Parks ordained Revs. J. B. Perry and A. R. McGinnis, deacons, and Revs. T. H. Wiseman and T. L. Cate, elders. At 3:30 p. m., Sunday, the ministers were given their Appointments. Rocky Mountain District, Rev. A. M.

In connection with the settlement of the Fort Peck Indian reservation which will be thrown open this fall, it is interesting to forecast the probable future of this immense tract of fertile land, now in the infancy of its agricultural development. With the opening of this reservation over 8,000 citizens will follow the sage advice of Horace Greeley to the young men of his generation and go west to grow up with the country. Approximately 1,345,000 acres will be thrown open to settlement, an area twice as large as the state of Rhode Island and a vertible empire on a small scale. Each settler is entitled to 160 acres of land, making 8,406 farms to be distributed. Allowing four members to a family this will increase the population of Montana by over 32,000 people. Statistics show that every person on the farm supports an average of two people in the towns and cities and it is fair to assume that the territory contiguous to the reservation will benefit to this extent, which brings the grand total up to 65,000 people. Prof. Thomas Shaw, the noted agricultural expert, estimates that when this land is cultivated it will contribute 20,000,000 more bushels of grain to the nation's annual production. The one principa crop grown on the reservation at the present time is wheat, which DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House. GIANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO runs from twenty to twenty-five bushels to the acre. Prof. Shaw estimates that this land will produce 8,406,250 bushels of wheat and 5,380,000 bushels of oats per year. At the present market quotations, 85 cents a bushel for wheat and 70 cents a bushel for oats, this would make a grand total of over $11,000,000 for these crops alone. These rough estimates will give some idea of the prosperous future which awaits this section of the great state of Montana. Half a dozen modern townsites have already been located by the government at points along the main of Great Northern Railway, which runs through the Fort Peck reservation for over ninety miles. SEGREGATION CONTINUES IN WASHINGTON Washington, Sept. 19.—Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier was advised last Tuesday by John Skelton Williams, Assistant Secretary has been devoted to finding ways and means to insult colored employes, He originated the segregation policy in the Treasury Department, and he caused to be placed the signs designating which toilet rooms should be exclusively used by Colored employes. That his policy of persecution of Colored employes is condoned by Secretary McAdoo and President Wilson is borne out by the fact that the segregation order is still in vogue. Last week three colored clerks, presuming that the segregation policy had been abandoned, were threatened with dismissal if they again used other than the toilet room in the basement of the Treasury Building reserved for colored employes exclusively. There are over one thousand colored employes in the Treasury Department here. Williams' announcement of wholesale dismissals and reductions has caused consternation. Baltimore, Sept. 19—Judge Thomas Williams, of the Juvenile Court in Baltimore, arrived from Europe Wednesday of this week. Speaking of our friend, Mr. Jackson, he said: "One of the stricking features that I came up with was that French papers refer to Jack Johnson as 'Le boxer terrible nor,' or the terrible black boxer, and speak of him as a good and pious-young man, who has been wronged by Southern people." This is the verdict of the French people, and coming from a judge in this country, the whole affair is certainly true. It is a pleasure to hear of such a verdict. Our Jack is not so bad after all. Prejudice and persecution is what has made "Jack" a bad man in the eye-sight of the newspapers. --- INQUIRY IN PRISON HORROR ASKED Houston, Texas, Sept. 16. From every section of the United States the authorities here are receiving communications from Negroes urging that those responsible for the prison farm horror, in which eight colored prisoners were smothered to death and died in convulsions, be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That someone must be held responsible for such a tragedy is the prevailing sentiment. Ollie Brown, John Douglas, Jas. Curtis and Edgar Evans, the four prisoners living to give hair-raising accounts of their experience, will be valuable witnesses for the prosecution. Jim Curtis, one of the men who outlived the horror, tells of how he held his lips against the tiny crack under the door that let in just enough air to keep him alive. Curtis says that Carlton Vance seventeen years old, one of the victims, had a fit and began biting his foot; that he called for help, but the authorities paid no attention to his cries. Finally he became quiet and Curtis pried the boy's teeth off his foot. Then Curtis discovered that Young Vance was dead. At the time, however, he did not know that any of the other prisoners had met death from, suffocation. Ollie Brown, of Dallas, saved his life by getting air from one of the tiny holes in the back of the cell. He put his head against the wall and pressed his mouth and nose against the hole where he lay all night. John Douglas, of San Antonio, although he survived, says he had been in chains for two days; that he was chained so high his feet were on their tip toes. According to Douglass, four of the other prisoners had been in chains; that the only water received was thrust in the sell in a small bucket for all the prisoners hours before some died from lack of air and water. Edgar Evans, of Jefferson, tells the following tale: "They gave us water at 3 o'clock and when we begged the guard to give us more he said he was not going to do it. At night one of the boys was having a fit and kept yelling for the boss to turn him out, but the boss would not make him any answer. We told him they were dying. He said if we did not let down on the noise we would stay in there a month. When Bug Juice (Carlton Vance) bit Jim Curtis we told him a boy was dead, and he said we would all of us wish we were dead before we got out."

The office was found to be in a first-class condition. fighting for the preservation of the country.” Washington, D. C., Sept. 17.—High officials in the Navy Department are again using the color line bugoboo to prevent Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, from carrying out projected innovations in the service. The latest Daniels order excludes adaptability as a controlling factor in the qualifications of candidates for commissions in the navy, and the officials are trying to show Secretary Daniels that this exclusion will wipe out the color line and make it possible for Negroes to be appointed as commissioned officers in the navy. Recently a Negro passed the examination for admission to the Anderson and Terrell, young and successful real estate dealer at 35th and State streets, made a $60,000 deal on Thursday afternoon of this week. This firm, through their private real estate broker, leased a 20 flat apartment at 34th place and Rhodes avenue, from 1913 to 1933, on a 5 per cent interest basis. It is a five-story steam heated flat with the latest conveniences. Within a short time Messrs. Anderson and Terrell will turn it over to colored occupants. Philadelphia, Sept. 8 — Declaring that the constitution of the United States had no color line in it, and that neither had the constitution of the Army and Navy Union, National Commander Geo. Russell Downs declared Capt. John C. Daley, department commander of the District of Columbia, out of order this afternoon when the latter attempted to introduce a resolution which, it was said, was designed to segregate the white and colored members of the Army and Navy Union. Capt. Daley, who is a caption of police in Washington, took the floor at the business session of the encampment, and was about to offer his resolution when other members and delegates from various sections of the United States refused to listen Cries of "sit down," "out of order," and other remarks were made, when National Commander Downs put an end to the uproar by vigorously rapping for order. "The black man has won his right to be in the ranks of the army and navy," said Commander Downs, "by standing up with us shoulder to shoulder and NO 4 fighting for the preservation of the country." Washington, D. C., Sept. 17.—High officials in the Navy Department are again using the color line bugoboo to prevent Josephus Daniels. Secretary of the Navy, from carrying out projected innovations in the service. The latest Daniels order excludes adaptability as a controlling factor in the qualifications of candidates for commissions in the navy, and the officials are trying to show Secretary Daniels that this exclusion will wipe out the color line and make it possible for Negroes to be appointed as commissioned officers in the navy. Recently a Negro passed the examination for admission to the naval dental corps, but was rejected solely on the ground of nonadaptability. If Daniels' latest order is enforced there will be no preventing this Negro dentist from again taking the examination and obtaining his commission. Not long ago Secretary Daniels proposed the abolition of messes on board the ships of the navy, but abandoned the plan when shown that it would compel white men to eat at the table with Negroes. He has shown no sign, however, of abandoning his order to exclude adaptability in considering the qualification of candidates for commissions. NEWS FROM ESTES PARK. (By Our Special Correspondent.)

HAY CROP,$20,000,000 THAT IS ESTIMATE FOR THIS YEAR'S YIELD IN COLORADO. Value of States Most Valuable Agricultural Product Gains 25 per cent Because of Drought in Midwest. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Fort. Collins, Colo.—Experts estimate Colorado's hay crop to be worth not less than $20,000,000 this year. The value of Colorado's hay is increased 25 per cent this year by the scarcity due to the drought in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. It was estimated by the government to be worth $16,500,000 in 1912. Colorado hay is being shipped by tens of thousands of tons to drought-stricken states of the Mid-west and farmers of this state are getting $11 a ton for their product. All sections are profiting by the demand, the most famous hay-raising sections being the Platte and Arkansas valleys and Middle, North and South parks. Mealed alfalfa is being shipped by trainload to New York, Philadelphia and other Far-Eastern markets, where it is retailed to dairying districts.

The storm was at its height in Grand Junction, where damage amounting to about $20,000 was done by the wind. The Colorado Commonwealth commission, an organization designed to induce immigration to Colorado and to settle the vacant lands of the state, both irrigated and dry, will be formed with Governor Ammons at the head, following the last of a series of four meetings held for the purpose. The suit for $600,000 filed in the Supreme Court of New York by Robert A. G. Peterson against the Colorado Mines, Railroad & Utilities Company of Colorado, and another suit filed by Mr. Peterson to recover ten per cent of th property and profits of the El Paso Consolidated Mining Company, came as a surprise to Colorado Springs mining circles. Chicago, with its clattering L trains, its cobblestoned streets and its four policemen whistling their heads off at every corner of the Loop district, has become the refuge of "Jack" Hill, otherwise known in common ordinary life as Miss Helen Hilsher, the feminine husband of Anna Slifka of Meeker. Miss Hilsher left Denver for Chicago, and there she will remain, never to return. At least this is the opinion of Dr. Nina Jones of 403 Emerson street, where Miss Hilsher stayed during the time she spent in Denver. James C. Mock, aged seventeen, was instantly killed near his home at Hastings mesa, twenty-two miles from Telluride, when a .22 rifle which he was taking muzzle-first from a wagon was discharged, the bullet entering his forehead. Because a picture which she saw of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Perry of Denver reminded her of her own parents, Mrs. John Evans of Golden baked an old-fashioned home-made cake for the sixtieth wedding anniversary of the old couple, neither of whom she had ever seen. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS At the Twelfth Regiment armory, New York, commencing October 22 and continuing for ten days, an exposition is to be held to show the advancement made by the negro race in the United States during the last fifty years. The exposition is also intended to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. It is claimed that the exposition will represent more than 10,000,000 persons in the United States. The state's approval of the exposition was given in May last when the legislature passed an act appointing the emancipation proclamation commission, consisting of nine members, all negroes, and appropriating $25,000 for the purposes of the exposition. While the sum of $25,000 is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the exposition, contributions made by wealthy negroes in various parts of the country guarantee that there can be no failure of the enterprise through lack of funds. One negro in the south who owns thirteen plantations and is said to be worth not far from $750,000 has contributed heavily, while large contributions have been made by wealthy negroes in New York and other cities. Invitations to attend the exposition have been sent to every negro of prominence in the United States, to a number of white persons of importance and to General Philippe Auguste, the negro president of Hayti, who, if he cannot attend in person, will send a delegation to represent the black republic, whose first president was a negro slave, Touissant l'Ouverture. A delegation from Santo Domingo is also expected and a representative from the government of Liberia. The colored cooks who were a marked type of southern farm life before the war are rapidly passing away. On thousands of plantations these cooks were born on the place and remained in service even after freedom came to them until they were taken to the little family burying ground for final rest. Occasionally one of these old colored cooks can be found still doing good service. The average pay for colored cooks on southern farms is from $5 to $8 per month. An exceptionally fine cook and one who has been in service many years sometimes gets as much as $10, but such wages are rare. The younger generation of colored cooks demand much higher wages and southern housewives find themselves compelled to pay from $15 to $24 per month in order to keep first-class servants—Exchange. Mrs. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., delivered an address on "The Negro Woman in Business" at Washington recently. She delivered a similar address before the Lott Cary Baptist association of the capital city. Her addresses are given with a view of encouraging women of her race to rise above the laundry and kitchen and to aspire to a place in the world of commerce and trade. She tells her own life story as an object lesson, having started business with $1.50, and now being worth thousands of dollars. Last year Algeria sent to the United States brierwood valued at about $68,000, goatskins at $61,000, rags $21,000 and wine worth $6,000. St. Etienne, France excludes women with visible hatpins from all public conveyances and places of entertainment. Wigs of great literary men are cherished by some hero worshipers, and it is on record that the wig which Sterns wore while writing "Tristam Shandy" was sold soon after his death for $1,000. According to official statistics covering the whole of the German empire, the employers' organizations now number 132,458 members, covering 4,378,275 workers of both sexes. For frightening burglars there has been invented a flashlight that resembles a magazine pistol, but which shoots a ray of light when the trigger is pulled. Equality of strength in both arms occurs almost twice as frequently with women as with men, more men than women being stronger in the right arm than in the left. According to a prominent financial journal of Paris the consumption of coffee in the different countries of the world varies in inverse ratio to the import duty. The Mississippi river is 3,160 miles long and the Missouri, which empties into it, is 3,100 miles long. What is known as the polar regions cover 4,970,265 square miles, and have 300,000 inhabitants. Recent corrections in maps of Greenland have added about 150,000 square miles to its area. Hongkong last year imported 137. 000 pounds of ginseng, nearly all from the United States. More than eight per cent. of the total wealth of the negro race is invested in church property. Fifty years ago, emancipation time, the negroes had scarcely any means of religious development. The entire south contained but 100 negro Sunday schools, and there were but three institutions of higher learning where a negro could be trained for the ministry. There are now 26 theological schools for negroes. Four large publishing houses devote their entire output to the needs of negro churches. Education of negroes in the south has shown similar gains. There were less than 100 schools for negro children at the close of the war. Now nearly 2,000,000 colored children are enrolled in public schools in the south, in care of 34,000 colored teachers. Higher education has increased correspondingly. In view of these facts economic advances is to be expected. The average negro just before the war was salable at about $500. Now there are 5,000 negroes in the professions and 30,000 engaged in business, including 64 negro banks. They own wealth estimated at $700,000,000. It is estimated that a free negro is now worth $2,500 to his community, five times his value to his former owner. The seventy-third annual Indiana conference of the A. M. E. church was held at Marion, Ind., recently, Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee of Xenia, O., had charge of the conference. The first annual conference in Indiana was held in a little log schoolhouse on Blue river, in Rush county, in 1840, Bishop Morris Brown of Washington presiding. The intervening years have seen the conference grow from a few churches, scattered over the state, to nearly 500 churches, of which Bethel A. M. E. church of Indianapolis stands at the head. The state is divided into three conference districts, namely, the Evansville, Richmond and Indianapolis, with presiding elders living in the latter city in charge of each. The reports made were encouraging. A ten-year-old negro girl will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, is the girl. Her income now is more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of a lucky allottee and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing oil well in the mid-continent field near the town of Cushing. The well is producing over $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth of this as her share. A pistol combined with the tiny searchlight makes shooting in the dark sure and simple. The light projects a pencil-like ray and the bullet will strike the object on which the light shines. In the opinion of an English scientist the wear of macadam roads is not due to the suction of automobile tires, but almost entirely to the crushing effect of horseshoes and iron tired wheels. In Russia the majority of strikes in 1912 (1,216, with 511,300 participants) were due to politics. The other 702, with 172,052 participants, had economic motives affecting them. Breeding cattle and horses from South Africa have been sent to Cuba by an English ranch owner there, who will experiment with crossing them with American stock. School lunches are served at a nominal cost to elementary school children in 41 American cities, in 200 English, 150 German and 1,200 French communities. The stamps of Persia show the lion and the sun—the lion as a symbol of power and the sun as an emblem of the ancient fire worship of the Persians. More than 2,000,000 grass hats were exported to the United States from the Dutch West Indies during the third quarter of 1912. Miss Viola Miller, policewoman in Ottawa, Ill., has the distinction of re-forming that town in one month. A suspension bridge with a main span 2,700 feet long is proposed for the Mersey river at Liverpool. School teachers in Cincinnati will soon receive an increase of 10 per cent in their salaries. Boston has a woman that has won first prize in 40 vegetable shows during the past season. Iron ore mined in 1912 in the United States amounted to 55,150,147 long tons. The graphite deposits of Madagascar are to be exploited by a French company. GREEK MINERS KILL MARSHAL SEGUNDO OFFICER SHOT FROM HORSE BY THREE STRIKING MINERS. LARGE REWARDOFFERED MEN, DISGUSTED AT VIOLENCE, IGNORE UNION APPEALS AND RETURN TO JOBS. Coal Strike on Wednesday. Town marshal of Segundo killed by the Principal operators say their output Miners say detectives hired by the coal companies are intimidating union members. Operators in northern Colorado appear to accuse miners to prevent "picketing" union members. Operators announce "absolute and uncompromising" conclusion "never" to recognize the union. Strikers moving into union tent camp. Union announces it will pay strike benefits as soon as due. Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 25.—Robert Lee, Marshal of Segundo, was shot and killed by a group of striking miners as they were destroying a camp foot-bridge. He swayed from his saddle, his rifle still in its scabbard, his jugular vein severed and neck pierced by a load of buckshot fired by one of the strikers, said by witnesses to be Thomas Larrus, a Greek. In retreating the Greeks fired twice at John Thompson as he leaned over the body of Lee, both shots passing over his head. Lee's slayer and two companions, all Greeks, armed with a shotgun and rifles, fled to the nearby hills. All afternoon and last night an armed posse, bitter at the first bloodshed of the coal strike, searched the mountains for the murderer. Sentiment against the strikers has grown intense over night in the coal camps. A second clash occurred at 9 o'clock last night. Eight shots were exchanged between C. F. & I. Guard L. E. Fish and an unknown man at Segundo. Fish, in making the rounds of the town, which has been under extra police protection since the shooting of Marshal Robert Lee found the man prowling about in the rear of a blacksmith shop. Fish ordered the man to halt, and without a word, the prowler opened fire. Fish drew his own revolver and from behind a corner of the blacksmith shop fired three times. The other man fired five times and, turning, disappeared in the darkness. Neither of the two was struck by bullets. Posses were sent from Trinidad, Segundo, Primero and Berwind, Bloodhounds have been put on the trail and from late reports the hunted men are being traced by footprints in the snow. Governor Ammons wored Sheiff Grisham to spare neither expense no effort in catching the three men. Segundo is a camp of 500 miners, It is twelve miles west of Trinidad. Lee was a brother of Jarnet Lee, a wealthy cattleman of Amarillo, Tex. He was a direct descendant, it is claimed, of Robert E. Lee. Lee had lived in Segundo for the last ten years. Before that he was employed on the Maxwell land grant case in New Mexico. A reward of $1,000 was offered for the arrest or for information that would lead to the arrest of the guilty. There were few changes in the aspect of the strike situation. CHECK HAD NO STRINGS. Schiff Declares He Gave $2,500 With out Any Restrictions. Albany, N. Y.-Sulzer was free to use the $2,500 check given him by Jacob H. Schiff, a New York banker, in any way he chose. The banker so declared on the witness stand at the impeachment trial of the governor. The designation of the check across its back as a contribution to the governor's campaign fund, did not restrict its use to that purpose, Mr. Schiff said. Henry Morgenthau, ambassador to Turkey, formerly chairman of finance on the national Democratic committee, testified that when he gave the governor a check for $1,000—a personal contribution—he placed no limitation on its use. He said, however, that he had made the gift to help the governor in his campaign and had been "foolishly generous." Henwood to Remain in Denver. Denver.—Harold F. Henwood will not be taken to Cañon City, to be kept in solitary confinement until October 27, the date set for his hanging. Illinois Miners Aid With $100,000. Springfield, Ill. — The executive board of the Illinois Mine Workers, in session here, voted to lend $100,000 out of their $1,000,000 treasury for the benefit of the striking miners in Colorado. Gamboa Named for Mexico Chief. Mexico City, Mex.—Federico Gamboa, minister of foreign affairs, was nominated for the presidency by the Catholic party convention. General Eugenie Rascon was nominated for the vice presidency. FULL CASH VALUE LAW Do You Know That— RAISES QUESTION OF AUTHORITY FOR CHARGING ASSESSMENTS. Supreme Justices Will Not Solve Tangle By Answering Questions Propounded By State Tax Commission. Western Newspaper Union News Service Denver.—Members of the State Tax Commission will be compelled to interpret the laws under which they are working, according to an informal announcement made by Chief Justice Musser of the Supreme Court to Governor Ammons. The COLORADO STATESMAN Undecided as to what they could do in the matter of raising and lowering county assessments, the State Tax Commission appealed to the Supreme Court for a 'decision. If any of the assessors object to their assessments, it is probable that the matter will be taken to the state's highest tribunal for adjudication. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Under the full cash value law a question arose as to whether the tax commission could lower assessments of some counties when it felt that other counties were not assessed on a full cash value basis. The members of the commission are preparing to go over the books of Finance Commissioner Clair J. Pitcher, in which the assessed valuation of property in the downtown district of Denver is listed. The assessor has given his consent to the inspection of the schedules. Big Land Tracts Back to State. Denver. In response to Land Commissioner Hoggatt's order that all promoters of Carey act projects should appear before the land board and make proof of work done on their projects or should forfeit their rights to segregated land, the Tyrone Canal Company of Las Animas county surrendered to the state the 25,000 acres segregated for its project. This company was capitalized for $1,000,000, but owing to litigation over the Seven Lakes reservoir site had been unable to start work on its project. No money had been collected on its contracts. The Blue McMountain Canal Company, which has a pending application for 177,000 acres of land in Rio Blanco and Routt counties, sent notice that it will abandon its project and dissolve as a corporation. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Eleven Years Since Stratton Died. Denver.—It is eleven years since the death of Winfield Scott Stratton. During all these years, according to a statement made by O. N. Hilton, attorney for the alleged widow of Stratton, who now lives at Leadville, there has not been a satisfactory accounting of nearly $6,000,000 of the estate by the trustees, in compliance with the provisions of the will. Three State Examinations Oct. 18. Denver.—Notices of three examinations for state positions have been sent out by the State Civil Service Commission. The examinations, to be held October 18, are for the positions of bookkeeper, guard at the state penitentiary and teacher of printing. The examinations may be taken at twenty-five different places throughout the state. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. Allege Forgeries on Petitions. Denver.—Frauds including the forgery of Governor Ammons' name and the placing of illiterate Mexicans' signatures on the petitions to refer the public utilities bill and the measure creating Alamosa county will be exposed in the investigation started by the public officials, according to the opponents of the referendum measures. To Take Denver Tax War to Courts. To Take Denver Tax War to Courts. Denver.-The members of the State Tax Commission and Finance Commissioner Clair J. Pitcher, ex-officio assessor of Denver county, agreed in conference at the capitol that a law suit is the only solution of the difficulties between the Denver assessor and the state. State to Get $16,000 Inheritance Tax. State to get $10,000 inheritance tax Denver.—In the event of no protest, the state will be richer by $16,148 as a result of the collection of inheritance tax on the estate left by the late Moses Hallett, who died April 25, according to the report in the office of Leslie Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Mining Company Incorporates. Denver. The second incorporation within two weeks of a large mining company which will operate in Clear Creek county was registered when Secretary of State Pearce granted incorporation papers to the United Freeland Development and Tunnel Company, capitalized at $2,000,000. Utilities Bill May Not Be Referred. Denver.—With the arrest of Julius Goldberg, charged with forging 700 names to the petition to refer the Alamosa county bill, and the detention of Jacob Zeering, the first blow has been struck at the alleged wholesale forging of fraudulent names to petitions to initiate and refer bills. One of the immediate results of this action, state house officials say, will be that the public utilities bill will not be referred to the people of Colorado.

Don't expect others to do for you what you ought to do yourself. Let the chips fall where they may. We are going to chop where we hope to do the most good for our friends. Honesty is the best policy, yet it seems so hard for some people to believe it. The few race men of means have been euchered so much by dishonest people that it seems there is nothing that is "dead straight." This should be changed, and men would be willing to assist, aid and encourage young men who desire to start in business. "So long as you are prosperous you will number many friends." So long as you are not prosperous you will lack friends. Friendship has become a thing of barter and is knocked down to the highest bidder. A man who has amassed much wealth, matters not who he has robbed, nor how he became wealthy, has everybody for his friend, but the moment he loses all he becomes a friendless "has been" and the good deeds that he has done will never be mentioned. It is becoming more apparent each day that the man who owns the soil will rule the world. If this be true, it is equally true that the man who owns the soil must in a measure own the man who has no title to the soil. Industrial slavery and lockouts must even confront those who depend upon others entirely for a livelihood. Notwithstanding the American farmer is the happiest man in our land, too few of our people like to stick to the farm. After we sustain ourselves out of our scant earnings we have so little left and it is almost impossible for us to lay aside for a rainy day, and as a result, old age catches us unprepared. This condition could be easily avoided if our young men and women would, while they are in health and vigor, quit the overcrowded cities and take up their abode upon the farm. There are good farming lands in all parts of the country to be had for a mere trifle, upon which any energetic and shrewd person can make for himself a happy maintenance. Such a course is recommended to our young men and women who desire prosperity. OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT No race is entirely hopeless in any part of the world. Wherever men find themselves located, and whatever their environment, if they are free men, there is always a chance to improve their conditions. But the opportunity for improvement is not the same with all men. Neither may one class of men expect to follow exactly in the footstseps of another class who have preceded them, for opportunities differ widely according to classes and the character of the times through which the world or the nation is now passing. The average American of intelligence and energy is possessed of vast opportunities to make life a success and a pleasure. In this respect he is better off at present that his forefathers were, when from newer conditions they were hewing out a course for themselves and the nation. With all portions of a vast country open to settlement and all communities, old or new, presenting almost unrestricted commercial and industrial openings, it seems that the opportunities of the average American for the promotion of successful enterprises are almost limitless. Within these same boundaries and in contact with these same environments, the colored American has to contemplate and apply himself to particular channels which require more than natural preference or personal desire to insure that success which brings the rightful measure of gratification and profit, for the restrictions and limits of racial prejudice require them to exercise superior judgment and wit in the selection and pursuing of avocations in which their financial welfare will not necessarily be sacrificed or thwarted. But although their opportunities are thus limited, the necessity for careful study and selection of avocations and for the application of superior judgment and ability to those chosen, is the one great natural characteristic which will cause the Negro's opportunities to grow and increase, slowly, gradually, but surely, until finally the restrictions of the present day shall be entirely overcome. All history helps to prove that racial oppression rebounds to the final benefit of the race oppressed, if the race oppressed possesses the quality of endurance and survival. Endurance is one of the Negro's remarkable qualities, and while his changing conditions in America appear to take from him some opportunities which he formerly enjoyed, he readily applies himself to others, which, if carefully selected and industriously and ingeniously followed, bring him greater satisfaction and profit than he before enjoyed. The Negro is learning that he must choose wisely and perform well. With this knowledge thoroughly applied, he is succeeding in new lines. He has found an opening in literature, the very highest branch of civilized attainment, which has surprised himself. Close behind this is following his success in music. As he improves in the classics and in the arts, he appears to find greater industrial tolerance. Branches of business requiring particular ingenuity or efficiency are being undertaken with invariable success. It is therefore being learned that the mainsprings of the colored American's future progress are superior ability, discriminating judgment and tireless energy, and that with these attributes the growth of his opportunities will not halt before the prejudices of the present day. When Macaulay described that tiresome New Zealander standing on the ruins of London bridge and viewing the wreck of empire, he omitted to state that this traveler of the future would Relative Merits of Genius and Talent BY LINDSAY SWIFT and on the parapets two worthies discussing the relative merits of genius and talent. This problem will continue to hold the boards long after the protective tariff and capital punishment have ceased to be subjects for debate. What are these two qualities or possessions of human mind? Bulwer called talent "doing something better than others," and that will answer very well. If there were not an immense amount of talent in the world there would not be so much success, and the movement of life would be backward, not forward. We must not minimize the importance of talent. But what is genius? Is it the highest degree of talent; or is it something wholly distinct—a special gift to certain rare individuals? Does it partake in a measure of the divine or creative power, or is it a survival of that fiercer primitive energy so necessary to the survival of man or animal when life was only a desperate struggle to exist at all. Mr. Henry Adams, in his remarkable "Letter to the American Teachers of History," speaks of the eocene lemur as probably the most energetic creature that ever came into being, and man has probably lost a large measure of the original force such an animal possessed. Certain it is that when we think of the greatest intelligences that ever lived we name some of the ancients out of all proportion to the moderns. Perhaps it would not be going too far to say that Aristotle and Julius Caesar were the greatest individuals this planet has produced. It seems to be true that with the enormous increase of human efficiency and of applied talent that the appearance of indubitable genius of the highest order becomes rarer. But we may, I think, dismiss any consideration of these marvelous personalities of every age. Their position is fixed and unassailable. There is also an every-day genius—the unusual capacity displayed in our common life, that is well worth our attention. Most of us go along evenly day after day, accepting the fruits of the past, but not letting our wits work to better things, or to introduce any new tone into human conditions. A very simple instance of the application of this quality of genius into ordinary affairs is shown by that simple little invention suggested by Ben Franklin on one of his several voyages across the Atlantic. The ship's cook wanted to make pea soup, but could find no way to grind up the peas to a suitable consistency. "Put a ten-pound shot in the pot," said the marvelous Benjamin, "and the motion of the vessel will grind the peas." Simple enough, when a man like Franklin has first thought of it. Lindway Swjo The modern woman does not want to know how pies are made or read a string of useful receipts in women's magazines. Advance of Women All Over the World By J. E. DUMARS, Boston, Mass. go into many subjects that heretofore have only been published for men. I am connected with a magazine that has a circulation of two million. Each subscription is paid in advance and the magazine is devoted entirely to woman and her work. The bettering of the school systems is one of the things that has interested women in the higher grades of fiction. Women are advancing all over the world. They have the same love for their home and children, but the advancement of the school room has had a great deal to do with the change in their mode of life and way of thinking. I do not mean to say that because the modern woman does not want to know how to make a pie that she does not take interest in her household duties. Years ago the only reading matter contained in women's magazines was devoted to receipts and useful household hints. But it is different now. Women have a great work in the world and their advancement has been very rapid. A number of the magazines published exclusively for women are among the most widely circulated periodicals in this country. World Has Little Use for Jesus By Rev. William Rader, San Francisco The world has no use for a person with a long face. Sorrow drives away friends and it is because Jesus was a man of sorrow that the world has so little use for him. There was one day World Has Little Use for Jesus By Rev. William Rader, San Francisco The world has no use for a person with a long face. Sorrow drives away friends, and it is because Jesus was a man of sorrow that the world has so little use for him. There was one day when Jesus was popular, and that was when he fed the multitude bread: a few days later he was unpopular because he talked to the same multitude about their souls and bread from above. He was popular when he ministered to bodily wants, but unpopular when he ministered to spiritual ones. It is the same today—a preacher or a church can be popular by ministering to things of the flesh. Should we turn this church into a hospital every newspaper in the city would applaud because we were doing some practical good, and the populace would cheer. When it comes to the church doing its main function, to remind people of the city to come, then the world turns away. It is because he is a man of sorrow that he means so much to us Christians, because he tells us of the unseen world. For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. How Many Society Women Drink Cocktails By CHAS T. WILSON How Many Society Women Drink Cocktails By CHAS, T. WILSON, Chicago At present all a woman has to do is to enter the dining room of the first fashionable hotel she is passing and hand her order to the waiter. It may be that she does not want it known that she is ordering a drink. She need have no fear, for the waiter is well aware of this, and will not serve it to her openly. Perhaps it will reach her in an after-dinner coffee cup, or the chances are that she will receive it in an ice-cream glass surrounded by a lot of fancy cakes or some pretty title to hide the content of the glass. If two or three women are together and give an order for cocktails it will not be surprising to see the waiter serve it in a silver soup dish, and dip the contents out with a ladle into small cups.

Daniel Strauthers is now head soda man at the New Fair recently opened at Sell's old stand. Dan is quick, active and accommodating and will no doubt make good. Dr. Phillip D. Lee, a druggist of Milledgville, Ga., a school mate of Drs. Cantey and Cumber, is visiting in our city. In company with Dr. Canty was a pleasant caller at our office, Thursday. Wilfred Johnson, our amateur artist employed at Scholtz's Broadway branch, is taking his annual vacation of 15 days this week. Lee Bragburn the head push will take his annual vacation next week. Mrs. H. H. Lewis and Mrs. J. T. Blagburn of Des Moines, Iowa, arrived in the city Saturday from Pueblo, on a visit to their nephew and son respectively and his wife, Lee Blagburn. Mrs. Lewis remained in the city until Monday, when she left for home, much pleased with this, her first trip West. Mrs. C. F. Brown of Hot Springs, Mrs. Sadie Bailey of McAlister, Okla., and Miss Lonnie Wall of Chandler, Okla., who were the house guests of Mrs. Boalware of 3320 Williams street, left for their respective homes Tuesday after spending a pleasant summer. Mr. J. W. Wright of Kimball, Neb., a subscriber for many years to the Colorado Statesman, was a guest in the city last week and was a pleasant caller at our office last Friday. Mr. Wright has been employed at the Bennett Live Stock Farm, for several years and is considered one of the best employés. Mr Jay Ramiah of Ceylon, India, the firm of Kira and Ramiah has located in our city with his new hair preparation.

Alex Dukes, the famous mixologist, is now with the Railroad Men and Waiters club at 2149 Curtis street, where he will be pleased to see his friends. Mr. Burnley, the manager of the club, is being congratulated on securing the services of Mr. Dukes, as he is reputed to be the fastest bartender in the west, baring none, and he has to his credit many new and fancy drinks and this fact alone is proof without argument, that his knowledge of his profession is highly deserving of the flattering comment he receives. --- Y.

SOCIAL AND LITERARY CLUB ENTERTAINED. The B. B. club concluded their summer social functions by a hay-rack ride to the Britton ranch, Sept. 20th. The invited guests were the wives and sweethearts of the members of the club. The happy party was greeted by a roaring log fire. This added cheer and comfort to the merry group, as they seated themselves around the various tables to contest their skill at cards for the prizes which the club offered. This being concluded they were ushered into a spacious dining room, wher a delicious dinner was served. Short speeches and toasts were given while the dinner was being served. After dinner the guests danced the remainder of the evening. The club feels very proud of their host, Mr. Britton. Mr. J. B. Waddell will entertain the club at its next meeting. LAWYER COMPLIMENTED Judge of the court complimented Lawyer Townsend by telling him after a half day of hard contest in defending two persons before court and jury by saying: "I don't compliment lawyers, but in this case I compliment you." At the same time 'shaking Lawyer Townsend by the hand.' "You are one of the best lawyers who try cases in my court. The fight you have made for your clients and the speech you made to the jury pleased me and it must have convinced the jury," said the judge. The jury was out a few minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. The jury and court officers congratulated Lawyer Townsend for strong defense. THE DE LUXE. Furnished apartments.

Throughout the building are no less than 32,700 panes of glass. The majority of these windows reach from floor to ceiling. It is expected that artificial light will be reduced to a minimum, and the amount of natural light will be increased to a maximum. Another laudable feature of the new bureau will be a lunchroom for each division. In addition, co-operative lunchrooms for men and women are being arranged, each leading out on to a shaded promenade on the roofs of two of the wings, in order that the employees may get light and fresh air during the lunch hour and still be kept within bounds. Officials of the treasury department in regard to the co-operative lunchroom plan figure that in a factory such as the bureau, the health and happiness of the employees is just as essential as that machinery should be oiled or kept in good repair. They say that a man who is well fed is in better condition to render good service than one who is poorly fed and perhaps in need of nourishment. Therefore, the co-operative lunchroom. According to present plans, a company to furnish the necessary fixtures, kitchen utensils, heat, light and fuel will be organized among the employees. The company in the form of a cooperative society will assess each member a nominal sum as a membership fee to create a fund necessary to commence business, issuing a certificate for the same. The society will elect officers and a board of governors to conduct the business, the board to select competent help to purchase the necessary food, cook and serve it to the employees at cost—that is, at such a figure as to maintain the service on a good business basis. Each division will be complete in itself. Besides the individual lunch rooms, each section will have its own locker room, where the employees will be confined to the division during the entire working day. Owing to the nature of the output, treasury officials maintain that it is absolutely necessary that the employees shall be restricted to certain portions of the building from the time they enter in the morning until the time they leave in the evening, when all the securities upon which work is being performed are returned to their proper places for safekeeping. In every respect the structure will be absolutely fireproof. Beams and columns are of steel, the arches and girders of ferro-concrete construction, the roof of metal, and the window sashes and frames of iron. Walls are brick, faced with Bedford limestone. Concrete is to be used in some parts of the building as flooring, but wood floors will predominate. The stairways are specially designed to serve as fire escapes. Those running from each floor are mostly independent of each other, thus tending to greater safety in case of stampede or panic. "TOY LADY" IS MOURNED Capital Children Weep for "Miss Kate," Whose Shop Was "Tad" Lincoln's Favorite Haunt. Hundreds of children with tear-wet eyes are mourning the passing of "Miss Kate," the toy lady, whose funeral the other day drew them to St Mary's church. Miss Kate France was proprietor of a store known as the "Lincoln Toyshop," because "during the Civil war" "Tad" Lincoln made all his purchases there and, often times accompanied by his father, visited the place to feast his eyes or the treasures it contained. Miss France was sixty-three years old and had "grown up" with the shop. Standing on a site that alone would make it one of the world's superb factories, even if it did not quite equal the criterion in other respects, the new bureau of engraving and printing building is a structure so carefully planned to meet the exigencies of the future and facilitate the work and comfort of its employees, that it may be regarded as the last it did not equal the rion in o spects, t bureau of ing and build in structure fully pla meet the cies of th and facil work and of its e of it ma gard as word in factory construction. Potomac park, vying in beauty and grandeur with the Riverside driveway along the Hudson in New York, the Michigan boulevard bordering on Lake Michigan in Chicago, and the Champs de Mars and the Longchamps along the Seine in Paris, is the proud possessor of this colossal plant, where for years to come the currency of Uncle Sam will issue. For miles in Virginia its chalky walls are visible. As far down the Potomac as Alexandria it appears to rival the Washington monument. The most striking feature of the new building is the extraordinary precautions taken for the comfort of its employees. Most notable, probably, is the promenade on the roof garden. The roof garden, it has been stated, will be the finest in the national capital, not only for the commanding view of many miles into the territory of the Old Dominion state that it will command, but also because of the refreshing breezes that will find their way from the river. Lunch periods are expected to find the roof garden the mecca of all employees. Tables and benches and chairs will be found in abundance beneath a canopy so constructed that Old Sol will have little or no effect on the temperature. Ferns and palms will provide decorations. Elevators will run directly to the garden. It is expected that a view equal to that gained from the summit of the monument will be obtained from this point of vantage. In order that first aid promptly may be administered to employees, who, as is often the case because of the high temperature caused by gas flame used to heat the plates, are prostrated by heat, a special emergency hospital will be provided. It will contain separate wards for men and women, and will have all implements of surgery necessary for any first-class institution of its nature. An experience $ ^{3} $ physician will be in constant attendance. The hospital is only intended for first aid, the employees being later removed if it is found necessary. The building will contain a special refrigerating system, which will produce water for drinking purposes. The water will be cooled at a central point, so that when it is imbibed at bubbling fountains, it will be at an average temperature of 45 degrees. These fountains will be so located that employees will have to go a minimum distance to obtain the water. A plan to have all the water distilled was abandoned when the public health commission decided that the liquid in this form was unhealthful. A plentitude of light and a constant supply of fresh air continually will aid the employees in their work. The ventilation system will be entirely independent of the heating system. The air in the different rooms and offices will be changed two or three times a day. This will ventilate the rooms on a basis of about 2,000 cubic feet per hour per employee in the most crowded portions. The large rooms literally will be gwarmed with daylight. Glass win- Rows All Night and Brings Greek Fleet to Town. Fisherman Heard That Bulgars Had Ordered Massacre and Sacking of Town and Went Alone in a Small Boat to Rescue. The Salonika correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph sent the following graphic description of how Kavala, the town on the Aegean sea which was the crux of the peace negotiations at Bucharest, was saved from fire and slaughter at the hands of the retreating Bulgarians: "I have heard from an eye-witness most striking and picturesque details as to the way in which Kavala was saved just in the nick of time. The mass of the Bulgar army, in danger of having its retreat cut off from the north, had evacuated the town, leaving behind only a small force of 200 men, commanded by a lieutenant, with orders to burn and sack the town next day. The terrified people had hidden themselves in their darkened houses, behind locked doors and barred windows. Rumors had gone about that the garrison quartered in the fortress overlooking the town was laying in large stores of petroleum, and that bayonets were being sharpened and guns loaded. There was nothing to hope for or to do; only with unavailing curses and prayers await the coming of death in its most hideous form. "Through the pitch-black streets a Turkish boatman crept down to the port. No boat was allowed to leave the bay, patrols faced the quay, searchlights flashed over the still and silent waters. Very quietly, lying flat on the gray stones, he loosened his little craft, crawled in, and, with muffled oars, pulled away. None heard him, and the searchlights playing all around him left him in darkness. It was, says he, as if a great hand were stretched over him, and its shadow lay around his boat. He cleared the bay, and with all his might and main bent to his oars. Far across the sea, 18 miles away in the Bay of Thassos, lay the Greek fleet. Through the long hours of the night he rowed, heedless of aching arms and limbs, rowed for his life and the lives of thousands who lay behind him in the quaking town. In the early morning the port of Thassos opened before him. The great ships were there, always under pressure, straining at their anchors. "With the last effort he pulled up to the side, and the startled sailors hanging over the gangway heard a cry of warning, a cry for help, rise up into the night. 'For the sake of Allah and for the sake of your God, come quick, for at the sunrise the Bulgars sack the town.' "In the little town the hours of agony crept slowly by. Women wept over their sleeping children and men ground their teeth in useless rage. Availing themselves of the shelter of the houses, two men had managed to reach the church and climb up into the bell tower. Through the night they strained their eyes over the empty waters of the bay which for months past no ship had entered. "At morn a thick column of smoke rose behind the promontory. What could it be? With beating, shaking hearts they watched the nose of a ship creep round the corner, a long, low, gray thing with protruding guns and funnels vomiting smoke. "It was a destroyer. At the stern floated something they could not see. Yet, God in heaven, it was blue with a white cross! The next instant the bell was clanging out a crazy, jerky peal, and a frantic creature was tearing down the streets shrieking, 'The Greek fleet! The Greek fleet!' "In one moment shutters were let down, doors burst open, and a shouting, sobbing crowd rushed to the sea. The destroyer had stopped, a boat was lowered, the captain was rowed ashore. He had hardly time to touch the ground before 50 strong arms had caught him up and, 'with weeping and with laughter,' carried him shoulder high through the cheering streets, whilst behind him, contentedly nodding his red-fezed head, unobtrusively walked the simple Turkish fisherman who had saved the town." QUESTION NAME OF WRITER Serious Controversy Rages as to Proper Cognomen of the Author of "The Raven." A bitter controversy has arisen between the architect who designed a new school building on Rittner street, in this city, and members of the school board over the spelling of the full name Poe. Over the entrance of the building in large letters is engraved "Edgar Allen Poe." Simon Gratz, member of the board of education, insists that the correct spelling of Poe's middle name is "Allan," and he has demanded that the architect make a new engraving. The architect maintains that "Allen" is correct, and refuses to change it. The argument may be thrashed out in councils. Gratz asserts that Poe's middle name was obtained from John Allan, a Richmond man, who adopted Poe when two years old, in 1811. The new school is a short distance from the little brick house where Poe wrote his famous "Gold Bug." Reference books give Poe's middle name as Allan.—Philadelphia Dispatch to New York World. Cases in Windes, Where Men Work in Armor. Precautions Taken by Bleaching Powder Packers Toiling in Deadly Chemical Factories — Good Wages for Big Risks. All the way from "Fairyland" to "Helltown" range the nicknames which have been given to the town of Windes, in England, by eminent visitors to this strange, busy little world where chemistry is king. The very atmosphere has a vivid, artificial quality that makes it different from other atmospheres. The factories send out great volumes of varicolored smoke, which help to make the brilliant chemical sunsets for which the town is noted. The workmen, many of them, go to their toil attired in strange looking costumes to protect them from the fumes of the gases which they must inhale during their work. They look like beings from another sphere or like weird warriors armed for conflict with demons of the underworld. "Windes and the chemical trades stand for each other," says the London Sphere. "All sorts of chemical compounds which are used to perfect the products of other factories are sent out from the town. More alkali is sent out from Windes than from anywhere else in the world. Great quantities of soda compounds are manufactured to be used in paper works. The cotton mills send to Windes for their bleaching materials, the potters get their glazing materials from the town. Mining engineers depend on Windes for the cyanide process which extracts the gold from its ore. Hundreds of other substances, such as wall distempers, nitrolygcerine and baking powder, are made in Windes, wholly or in part. The name "Helltown" was conferred upon the place by a journalist who once visited it and was horribly impressed by the chemical factories. A scientist of equal eminence with the journalist took the opposite point of view and was so delighted with all the extraordinary processes which were to be seen in the shops that he called the place "Fairyland." The town is a flourishing one. The workmen make good wages and in some of the worst trades have short hours, but even so their lives are shortened by the unnatural atmosphere which they inhale. Among those who have the most hardships to endure in connection with their work are the bleaching powder packers, who breathe through 24 thicknesses of flannel, wear goggles and calico clothing around which brown paper is tightly wrapped. This is necessary because these men must enter the chambers in which chlorine gas is turned on lime. It used to be a tradition that nothing green could grow within three miles of Windes, but the inhabitants, who are very loyal to their unique dwelling place, point proudly to their large and flourishing public park, whose verdant foliage disproves this tradition. There are 30,000 persons in the town. The men work either in the chemical factories or in iron or copper works. PUT BLAME ON THE DEVIL Sudan Natives Have Comforting Belief That Absolves Them From Personal Blame. Everything that goes wrong is attributed by the Berberines, a tribe of the Sudan, to the devil. Ethel S. Stevens, in "My Sudan Year," quotes a story told her by Bishop Gwynne of his "boy's" coming to him one day and announcing "The devil is in the house." "Oh," said the bishop, "that is very interesting! When did he arrive?" "He came in with the cook from the "He came in with the cook from the souk market yesterday evening." "Really?" commented the bishop, puzzled. "Yes, and in the night he came out of the cook and passed into me." "Oh, and what did he do?" "He went to the cupboard and broke a plate and the top of the jam jar." A light broke in on the bishop. "Oh, he was after the jam! I suppose he ate some?" "Yes." said the boy, "he did!" The idea of devil possession is not merely an elaborate form of excuse; the native servant really believes it.—Youth's Companion. Doctored a Toy Dog. Dr. R. S. Stearns of Sellwood, Ore., has performed a remarkable surgical operation. The patient was a shaggy toy dog which was brought in by Richard, the two-and-a-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Brock of Sellwood. In some way the tail became detached from the body, and the child heard that the doctor could repair the damage. A little later Richard was missing from home and search was made for him. Later the search party entered the office of Dr. Stearns, where they found the physician engaged in performing the operation, while little Richard looked on with tearful interest. After the operation Richard emerged from the doctor's office with a satisfied smile on his face. Judgment. How about this shooting? "My client's mind is blank, judge. That ought to be sufficient to get him off." "I might consider it if the cartridges had been blank, too."

Government is Spending Millions of Dollars for Popular Dissemination of Information Through Medium of Printers' Ink. Washington.—How to insure promptness in the distribution of publications continues to be a vexing problem in many bureaus of the various branches of the government, particularly in the departments of agriculture, commerce, interior and labor. These are the departments which publish the greatest number of printed documents for which there is a popular demand. The government is spending millions of dollars on printed bulletins for popular distribution each year, the fund for the dissemination of information through the medium of printer's ink in the department of agriculture alone amounting to more than $1,000,000. At the present time all bulletins are sent out by the superintendent of documents of the government printing office. This official's task would be easy and his service most satisfactory if his work were restricted to the sending out of bulletins to large mailing lists, but, according to the law passed by the last congress, he has to take care of all miscellaneous distribution, and all mail requests for bulletins of any kind must be filled by the government printing office. The object of this law was efficiency and economy, but chiefs of various bureaus believe that it entails more expense in the end than the original system of direct distribution. When congress made the law, which has been in operation about one year, it did so on the information that at the time bulletins were carted from the government printing office to the individual bureaus and thence mailed out over the country. Because of the fact that the government printing office is near the Union station it was figured that a saving in transportation could be effected if the bureaus would refer their requests for bulletins to the superintendent of documents, and © HARRIS & EWING Director Harris of Census Bureau. he should mail them direct to the applicants. The theory of the practice which was outlined and on which the law governing the present method of distribution is based was good, but its working out has proved defective in many instances. Director William J. Harris of the bureau of the census had his attention called to defects in the present method a few weeks after coming into office. A correspondent wrote to Director Harris requesting that a summary of the latest agricultural statistics be mailed him. A form letter was written in the census office to the applicant for information, saying that the request had been referred to the superintendent of documents, and that the bulletin containing the statistics would be mailed from the government printing office. The information was wanted in a hurry; the correspondent waited five days, then wrote to the superintendent of documents stating that Director Harris had written saying that the bulletin would be mailed from the printing office. A polite request was made of the superintendent of documents to hurry the information, as the time for completing the article in which the statistics were to be included was growing very short. The superintendent of documents then sent a form post card to the correspondent, saying that his letter had been referred to the director of the census. The correspondent, whose patience was almost worn out by this time, having expected the information in one or two days at the most after his original request was made, brought the matter to the attention of Director Harris, who was surprised that the red tape created by the present law makes prompt distribution of public documents almost impossible, providing the request for them comes by mail. On personal application a document will be furnished immediately, but only those people living in Washington can have the benefit of this prompt service. Hundreds of cases similar to the on which has just been outlined occur every month in the departments, and, according to chiefs of bureaus, it becoming harder and harder to dis seminate the vast amount of information which Uncle Sam is spending millions of dollars to gather. AMERICAN WOODS GO TO ORIENT Recent statistics indicate a marked increase in exports of lumber from the United States to the Orient. More than a quarter of a million feet of American woods are reported as being used in Samoa, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. Heretofore, it is said, raw materials have been made up into finished articles in the United States, almost without exception, and exported as such. With the discovery by American manufacturers in the Philippines that they could import United States woods and make them up with profit there, wood-using factories were built. Pacific coast woods, in consequence, are in many cases taking the place of the native woods with such picturesque names as apitong, teak, narra, and yacal. Douglas fir, according to the information collected by the forest service, is the principal wood exported from this country. It is said to be the favorite wood among insular manufacturers for flooring, ceiling, siding, cornice, shelving, finish, and boat work. Makers of furniture demand California redwood and sugar pine, southern quarter-sawed oak, eastern ash, sugar maple, and western white pine. Four woods, principally conifers and oaks, go into the construction of boats; for framing parts, masts, spars interior trim, planting, boat crooks and tiller handles. Meat blocks are made from sugar maple, which with sycamore supplies the entire demand in the United States. Wagon fellows are made of white oak, and other parts of vehicles are manufactured from high grades of white ash and white oak. HE CAME BACK. Representative Ben Johnson, chairman of the District of Columbia committee of the house, was aroused from sleep at three o'clock the other morning by the ringing of the electric door bell. Being alone in the house, Mr. Johnson had to answer. Poking his head out of a second story window, he asked: "What is it?" "A telegram," came the plaintive cry of a messenger boy. "Read it," said the congressman. The telegram was from a constituent asking Mr. Johnson who is going to be recommended for postmaster at Blenerhasset, where the present incumbent has 18 more months to serve. "Take it back to the office; I can't come down for it." Mr. Johnson returned to his bed and went to sleep. About five o'clock the bell rang again. "What is it?" 'he shouted. "You didn't sign for the telegram," said the boy. What Mr. Johnson said would not do to print. DANIELS RIDES IN COAL TRUCK. There was some mistake in placing an order for a cab to take Secretary Josephus Daniels of the navy department to hear President Wilson deliver his message on Mexico to congress. At ten minutes before time for the message no taxicab appeared. Mr. Daniels and his secretary, Howard A. Banks, stood on Pennsylvania avenue waiting. It was too late to take a street car. Two minutes later Secretary Daniels and Mr. Banks, seated by the driver, were going up Pennsylvania avenue as fast as the law would allow, in a big truck used to haul coal for the navy department. Mr. Daniels, seeing U. S. N. on the truck, hailed the driver, jumped 'in, and told him to "beat it" for the capitol. "I am the secretary of the navy, and have authority to press any of our vehicles into service," was the order the driver got. NEW POSTMASTER LIST BIG. In the 176 days, including Sundays and holidays, since postmaster General Burleson assumed the duties of his office, he, among other things, has appointed 5,765 postmasters. This makes his average something over 32 a day. Of the total number, 2,203 were presidential postmasters, who receive in excess of $1,000 a year salary, and whose appointment must be confirmed by the senate. The remainder, 5,562 are postmasters of the fourth class named either as a result of civil service examinations or after personal investigations by postoffice inspectors. First Assistant Roper the other day reported to Mr. Burleson that the appointment work was up to date, all cases having been settled in which the department has the necessary data upon which to base affirmative action FOUR BILLION CARDS. Four billion postal cards will be required by the postoffice department during the next four years, and Postmaster General Burleson recently asked for sealed proposals for furnishing that number. The contract now is held by the government printing office, but previously was executed by a private printing concern. The postoffice department supplies the plates from which the cards are printed, and it may change them at any time. Engravers now are working upon a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, which is to be substituted for that of William McKinley on the new issue. THIS MAD MULLAH PERSON IS A REAL FIGHTER TO BECOME HER HUSBAND'S LAW PARTNER TO BECOME HER HUSBAND'S LAW PARTNER SCOTT FERRIS TOO EAST FOR YOUNG STENOG. SCOTT FERRIS TOO EAST FOR YOUNG STENOG. LEITERS TO TAKE CRUISE IN GOULD YACHT Abdullah, the soof of Somaliand, in northeast Africa, is again on the war path. At almost regular intervals this quaint old person, finding time hanging rather heavy on his hands, gathers some of his help around him and goes out and kills a few British soldiers, just to show his contempt for the British protectorate. His latest de predation against the peace and dignity of Haji Muhammed called Mad Mullah the English soldiers was the ambushing of a camel corps of naval troops near Burao. About sixty Englishmen were killed or wounded. In the archives of 10 Downing street, London, is a large packet labeled "Somaliand," a large part of which is made up of material dealing with Abdullah. It is probably the most costly budget of material in the archives, for it represents an expenditure in the last eleven years of $50,000,000 and 5,000 lives, and a mortifying, humiliating failure, without a lot of compensation. Who is this Mad Mullah who has caused Downing street to lie awake at nights, sent cold shivers down the spines of numerous Italian foreign ministers, and has even caused the famous King Menellik to buy a trolley string to hold on his crown more securely? Mad Mullah is a sort of combination of an African Washington and Napoleon rolled in one, with a temperament which is liable to run amuck at any time. He wins his victories by decisive defeats like Washington, and like Napoleon, he dominates the imagination of his follow- Mrs. Bird S. McGuire, wife of Congressman McGuire of the First Okla- of the First Oklahoma district, is studying law in Washington, and intends to become a lawyer. M. It is the theory of Mrs. McGuire that all women, no matter what their social or financial prominence, should fit themselves to meet the battle of life, and should be in a position to earn their own living, if need be, and with this in view she has taken up the study of law. A dispatch from Washington says: During the warm summer months Mrs. McGuire, who is one of the most charming and accomplished hostesses in the official life of the nation's capital, has been devoting her spare time to reading Blackstone. Blackstone is not looked upon by most persons as diverting summer reading, but the Oklahoma congressman's wife finds it most "Handsome" Scott Ferris, said by the Democrats to be the handsomest man that over sat in any legislature, comes from Oklahoma and represents a district where he is known by his first name to 95 percent, of the population above the age of four. JOHN B. HARRIS With this wide acquaintance he has a heavy correspondence, and is called upon to do a lot of writing about Indians and Indian affairs. Therefore he must have a swift and accurate and intelligent stenographer, who can imprison the tongue-twisting Indian names in the stenographic notes. Also Scott Ferris' diction is something like the onrushing roar of a transcontinental filer, and the stenog- Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter will make a year's tour of the world in Howard Gould's steam yacht Niagara. The itinerary and personnel of the party which will accompany the Leiters were announced the other day. PETER H. The Leiters have planned one of the longest continuous cruises ever made by a yacht. The start will be made from New York this fall. After spending some time in British waters, the Niagara will cruise in the Medi- ers. When he calls them together and says the season for British soldiers is now open, they all agree that he is right. Abdullah is about fifty years old, the son of a poor shepherd of the Habl Sullieman Ogaden. When he was eighteen years old he married into the Dolbahanta Ali Gherl. At this age he showed that he was always looking out for the main chance, for he sold all the herds that his wife brought him and went to school at Berbera, where he became versed in Islamic lore and learned Latin from a Catholic missionary. He even went so far as to read Caesar's Commentaries in the original, and his subsequent campaigns showed that he had a high opinion of the Roman as a soldier. When he was twenty years old he made his first pilgrimage to Mecca. The most interesting campaign conducted against the Mad Mullah was one elaborately planned by the British foreign office in 1902, with the aid of Italy and King Menelik. The British expedition was in command of Brig. Gen. Eric Swayne, then a colonel with ten years' experience in Somaliand. So well was the expedition planned that it seemed impossible that the new mahdi could escape. But the crafty African was not to be taken so easily, and worried and harried the Italians, British and Abyssinian forces in a most exasperating manner. When the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that the expedition had cost the British government $300,000 and the Mad Mullah was still his own master. Abdullah has about 70,000 men, all of whom are either well trained to modern warfare or fatalists of the usual Mohammedan type. About half have modern magazine rifles. He has 10,000 cavalry, he manufactures his own powder and bullets, and is burdened with no commissariat. Fifty thousand square miles, containing 300,000 Mohammedans, are apparently at his disposal. interesting. She has completed the second volume written by that noted expounder of the law, and she knows all about "Shelley's case." Next fall she intends entering either Georgetown University Law school or the George Washington Law school, both of which institutions are located in Washington. In accordance with her present plans, Mrs. McGuire expects to graduate in law and be ready to hang out her shingle, if need be, by the time the term of Mr. McGuire as a member of congress expires, two years hence. She reads Latin, German and French fluently and as understandingly as she does English, and has already grasped the principles that govern the practice of law in a manner that is highly pleasing to her intimates at the national capital. It is likely that upon her graduation from law school that Mrs. McGuire will form a law partnership with Congressman McGuire, and that the firm, "McGuire & McGuire, attorneys at law," may be launched in one of Oklahoma's cities. In any event, Mr. McGuire will have a valuable side partner in the law if he should ever be retired from the halls of congress, where he has served both the state and territory of Oklahoma for a number of years. rapher who can take his correspondence is no slouch. Not many weeks ago Ferris had to employ an extra stenographer to help out with the heavy mall. The man he selected appeared to be a bright young chap. At any rate he bent to the task and took notes all day in the face of a torrent of Indian names. Some of them were ten syllables long, and others are almost unpronounceable in English. There were more Indian names in that morning's correspondence than Longfellow wrote in his "Hlawatha," and the young stenographer never whimpered. Apparently it was the greatest snap the youth ever had. He seemed to eat those names like an expert from the bureau of ethnology in the Smithsonian institution. When Ferris paused for breath the stenographer waited expectantly for more to come. When Ferris finished the dictation the young man said he would go to lunch and return to typewrite the letters after he had tasted a bit of pie and milk. Evidently he is eating yet. He never returned. The Indian names had done him up. terranean until the first of the years. Then she will be started eastward through the Suez Canal, and will visit India, Ceylon, China, Japan, the Philippines and Honolulu. The return home will be made by way of San Francisco and the Panama Canal. Mr. and Mrs. Leiter and their young sons, Joseph Leiter, Jr., and John Leiter, will make the entire trip. In Europe they will be joined by Mrs. Leiter's parents and sisters, Colonel and Mrs. John R. Williams, and the Misses Frances and Dorothy Williams. They have also arranged to meet former Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and have them as guests on part of the cruise. The Niagara will be overhauled before the trip starts. The yacht is of steel. She is 282 feet over all, 36 feet beam, and 19 feet draft. She has a speed of 12 to 15 knots, and was built especially for long trips. LENGTH OF LIFE DEPENDS ON HOW THEY ARE TREATED. Vacuum Cleaner Has Done Much to Preserve the Appearance of Floor Coverings in Helping to Preserve the Nap. The vacuum cleaner is really a boon to the oriental rug. The nap is thoroughly cleaned without being pulled out, as it is sometimes pulled out when rugs are beaten. Even a vacuum cleaner should be used on fine rugs with care, and it should be rolled up and down the rug with the nap rather than across it. It is, of course, desirable to have oriental rugs perfectly clean. The idea that they look older or more artistic when they are soiled is absurd. But clean them carefully. Once a year wash them with wool soap and warm water and dry them evenly, so that they will lie flat and smoothly on the floor. And always sweep them gently, though thoroughly. In the winter, when there is snow, sprinkle it over them when you are brushing them and watch the colors regain a marvelous freshness. The autumn is a good time to repair rugs. If there are moth holes in oriental rugs have them mended by a professional. If the fringe is ragged and rough trim it evenly. If the selvage edges are worn, overhand them before they become really ragged. Careful attention prolongs the life of a rug as nothing else can prolong it. The ordinary wear and tear of years will not bring about half as many bad results as will the neglect of a single month or season. Baked Fish With Dressing. Baked Fish With Dressing Take rock cod or other fish weighing two or three pounds, clean, rinse and wipe dry. Rub the fish outside and in with salt and pepper and fill with the following dressing: A large cupful of fine bread crumbs, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and the same quantity of sage, if liked, a pinch of pepper and one onion chopped fine. Moisten with milk and a tablespoonful of melted butter. Bind the fish with a piece of string and put into a pan with a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Lay on the fish three or four slices of salt pork, over which pour two tablespoonfuls of tomato catup and two of hot water. Bake one hour, basting frequently. Baked Mushrooms. Prepare the same as for stewing. Place them in a baking pan in moderate oven. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook in the oven 15 minutes, baste with butter, arrange on a dish and pour the gravy over them. Serve with sauce made by beating a cup of cream, two ounces of butter, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a little cayenne pepper, salt, a tablespoonful of white sauce and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Put in a saucepan and set on the fire. Stir until thick, but do not let boil. Mushrooms are very nice placed on slices of well-buttered toast when set into the oven to bake. They cook about 15 minutes. Silver and Gold Pie For the silver part take a large white potato, peel and grate it into a deep plate. Add the juice and grated rind of a lemon, the beaten white of an egg, a cup of white sugar and a cup of cold water. Stir well together and bake in a single crust in a dish deep enough to hold twice the quantity of the silver part. Make a custard of one cup of milk, teaspoon of cornstarch, one egg, sugar to taste and flavor with grated nutmeg or sherry wine. Pour over the silver layer and return to the oven and cook until set. When done you may finish with a meringue if you wish, or serve without. Ice Cream Cake. One cup sugar, 3 eggs, $\frac{1}{2}$ cup butter, 1 spoon cream tartar, save out two whites for frosting, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon soda, 2 cups flour, $\frac{1}{2}$ cup milk, 1 small teaspoon vanilla in the cake and also small teaspoon of vanilla in the frosting. Frost with 2 whites, beaten stiff, powdered sugar and a little cocoanut. Put nut meats on the frosting. When Washing Gloves. Cotton, silk and fabric gloves in general do not need to be washed on the hands, a somewhat unpleasant process. As the finger tips are the parts most soiled, bunch the fingers in the left hand, soap them and brush lightly with a nail brush, then rinse well. This cleanses the tips thoroughly. For Burnt Steel Should you ever have trouble with the bright parts of a kitchen range turning black from the heat, you will find that if you use a cloth dipped in vinegar, rubbing the blackened parts with it, the brightness will be restored. Baked Lamb Chops Take as many thick slices as are needed for the meal, place in a pan with a little water, lay a thin slice of onion on each, season with salt and pepper and bake till done. Cleaning Fish Dishes Hot water with plenty of ground mustard added is the best method of freeing dishes, kettles, silver and other utensils from the disagreeable taste and smell of fish. For Tough Fowls. Add a pinch of saleratus or a little vinegar to the water in which they are cooking. A Big Gift to the Public THE DENVER REPUBLICAN DELIVERED TO SUBSCRIBERS AT SIXTY CENTS A MONTH.

PHONE YORK 5391 ```markdown ``` JOHN ENGSTROM DENVER, COLO 器 JUST now it is the soft little hat, made of satin or velvet, that every one wants. Its crown is innocent of wires and its brim gets along with only one or two. This hat fits snugly to the head, comes pretty well down and makes the hatpin unnecessary. It is charming and in addition to its modest size and comfortable fit, it is made up in black and in quiet colors. Black velvet trimmed with black moire or satin ribbon, and soft taupe or mauve crepe with velvet to match are among the most successful developments. Black is pre-eminent. Of a half dozen smartly dressed women one is liable to find four of them wearing the soft little hat in black. A few space and soft feathers are liked for trimming or a small, close-set bunch of quaint autumn flowers, or ornaments made of a fabric like that in the hat. These hats are designed to be elegant and inconspicuous. Borders of fur will finish many of them as the weather grows cold. Among the loveliest models for the coming season are velvet caps with puffed crowns and a band of fur for Almost Sure to Be the Leading Colors for the Coming Season's Costumes. Black and white, the two most popular colors in the fashion chart, which suffered a temporary eclipse early in the summer, are prominently demonstrated in the fashions where the pulse of the coming season's styles is generally felt by the great designers of dress. "The union of black and white is certainly a 'marriage de reason,' for it is both practical and distinguished, and the fashion has lasted so long that every one is astonished at so much constancy in the realm of fashion, which is always full of fantasy and eager for novelty and change," says an authentic fashion writer. Black and whites are the tones most in vogue for elegant toilettes. Smart women of the world are bound to have white costumes, black costumes and costumes in which black and white intermingle. Here and there a brighter note is seen; sashes, coat, hats, sunshades are often of gay colors, but the predominating tones at all fashionable gatherings are undoubtedly black and white. Nothing is so distinguished as black and white cleverly and artistically combined. On the one hand are seen exquisite black dresses made of crepon, taffettes, satin, volle—charming wear for the afternoon visit and for garden parties. On the other hand, we see white frocks made of muslin net, lace, crepe de chine, to be kept for sunny days. Black always gives its wearers a slimmer appearance, and there are some women who do not look well in white. Still, on the whole, white is decidedly the prettiest and most suitable tone for the seaside and for country wear. For the Guest Rooms Keep in the upper bureau drawer in the guest room a list of the articles necessary to your guest's comfort. Then when putting the room in order for a prospective guest a comparison with the list will show wetter everything is at hand and obviate the oft repeated "I wonder if that is everything." Conspicuous on the list, besides brush, comb, towels, fresh soap, etc., should be work basket, matches, night light, time table of household hours for meals, etc., stationery, good pens, fresh ink and blotters and cards of black and white and safety pins and a box of hairpins in assorted sizes. Crepe Negligees. White crepe negleiges, embroidered with fine wool threads in soft colors, are very becoming. A long rest robe of the crepe shows a loosely arranged bunch of - embroidered flowers at the two front - corners of the skirt, and a trailing little streak of embroidery up each side of the front. At the neck the embroidery widens out into yoke design. A dainty lingerie color falls over and half conceals this yoke. the brim part. Lace and a little bunch of flowers trim some of them. Others are decorated with heavy, narrow ribbons—having a picot edge—made into stiff little bows like a cravat bow and mounted flat to the hat. A hat that does early duty in the fall may take on the splendor of fur and lace, with a touch of vivid color in ornament or flower, when the snow flies. In spite of the prevalent soft crown and narrow brim there is a wide variety in shapes. Hats modeled after those painted by Rembrandt and called after the painter, are a feature of the season's styles. It is only when one studies the work of the artist that an appreciation of these Rembrandt hats is possible. The soft, little hat is carefully made and carefully finished. Linings are of silk always matching the hat in color and of a substantial quality. Altogether the season presents so far the best standards of quality in styles and materials that we have had. Judging from these early hats we are to rejoice in the popularity of real millinery. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. HERE is one of those pretty plush bonnets that are destined to protect and adorn the heads of little girls when they are all dressed up. Plushes and all pile and napped fabrics are favored for many purposes, but more especially for millinery. This bonnet is made of silk plush in a light color laid over a frame. The brim is covered with the plush on the upper side and faced with shirred chiffon on the under side. The crown is a puff of plush, not very full and supported by a crinoline interlining. The bonnet is lined with a desirable light-weight silk. The trimming is of the simplest character. A crushed band of wide, messaline ribbon about the crown and ties of the same. Where they are fas- A tened at the side, tiny nosegays of familiar flowers are sometimes used. Often small, soft rosettes, made by shirring the ribbon or by little groups of very short loops, finish the trimming here. But her little ladyship may be indulged with little diminutive ostrich tips, or novel little fur ornaments, or specially designed rosettes, by way of pleasing her, if she is allowed a preference. Children's millinery is so carefully designed at present that mistakes need not be made in the matter of making a choice. Drooping Blouse. There is one alleviation about the large waist line which was evidently an afterthought on the part of the dressmakers. This is the width of the blouse across the back and its fullness at the waist line. All the fashionable blouses are voluminous below the arms, and they sag two inches over the belt. As you can easily see, this fullness makes the waist line more defined and gives grace to the figure.
