Dear Sir-During this year visited nine hundred
cases of lung diseases. In the lower wards of the
city the cases were Of very severe type. IT was
there my attention called to TUFTS Expectorants
and confess my surprise at its wonderful power.
During a practice of twenty years, have never
known q medicine to act as promptly, and with such
happy effects. 1t instantly subdued the most violent
fits OF coughing, and invariably cured the disease in
a few days Icheerfully indorse it as the best lung
medicine ever used. - -roov,

MURDER 1T GOTHIC.

Last Thursday afternoon, about 6
o'clock, hard character by the name
of Jim Jennings shot and killed a man
named Tomson, at Gothic. 1t seems
that Tomson owned a cabin that len
nings was occupying, and as he was
not desirable tenant Tomson had
made several futile attempts to get
him out. He was advised to procure
a chain and paddock and when Jen-
nings was out to secure the door, and
if Jennings returned and broke it to
have him arrested for trespass. Tom
son followed the advice and had about
finished fastening the door when he
was approached by Jennings from
across the street, who drew self
cooking revolver and rapidly fred
three shots at him, sending one ball
through the heart, a second one di-
rectly below the heart and the third
one missing the man entirely.
Jennings was arrested, placed in the
calaboose with twelve guards, had his
trial in the boose, waived hearing
and was ordered to the Jail in Gunni-
son to await the action of the grand
jury. Friday he was hurried off to
Gunnison, where he now languishes in
jail

Last Sunday morning Rev. R. T.
Gross, of the Congregational Church,
Colorado Springs preached very &C
ceptably to large and attentive con-
gregatlon in the big tent on Tenth
street, where service has been held for
the past two weeks. In the evening
Rev. Mr.. Warren, of the Methodist
Church, conducted service. After the
morning service Mr.. Cross called upon
all those members of the congrega-
ton who desired to advance the pro-
ject to establish church here, to re-
main and take what steps seemed ad-
visable. A considerable number re-
NAMED and lively debate ensued as
to the denomination of the proposed
church. 1t appeared that the Metho-
dist, Presbyterian and Congregations
allst had all made efforts to establish
a church of their own name. The
Methodist had determined to build
their church in any event; but there
was disposition on the part of the
two other denominations not to inter
fere with each other. A motion was
made to appoint committee of four,
consisting of two Congregationalists
and two Presbyterians for the purpose
Of comparing the relative strengths of
the two churches, and report after the
evening service. The result to be
final. MessrS. Field and Ratlihf were
appointed for the Congregationalists
and Messrs. Copley and Craven for the
Presbyterlans. The committee met
the same afternoon and after the even
ing service presented the following

appointed committee for the ensuing

towards the erection Of large and
commodious hotel suitable for the ac-
commodation Of the travelling public.
We are very much in need of a first
class hotel, and steps should be taken
Immediately by our citizens towards
the erection of the same. We would
suggest that a number of our citizens
get together and form joint stock
company and proceed at once in build
ing hotel suitable for the accommo-
dation Of the travelling public. There
is nothing more essential in new
mining town than a good, comfortable
hotel, where business men, merchants
and eastern men, who come here to
invest in mines may have the comforts
of a home. For the sum of $4,000 a
suitable building could be erected.
and we think there are fifty men here
who could well afford to subscribe at
least $Ioo apiece. We think that the
investment would pay at least two per
cent in two months from time OF
investment. Let our citizens think
over the matter and take immediate
etion. -

KILL Your SHEEP WHEN You've.
There are few animals kept on the
farm which, when they are in their
prime, pay as we'll as sheep, and there
are very few, if any others, upon
which old age has such a damaging
effect. AS the sheep is much short
er lived than any other of our domes-
tic animals, it is not strange that
many farmers attempt to keep them
too long. At ten years of age the
horse is just in his prime, and the
COW is as good as ever, with the pros
pect Of remaining so several yeart
longer. But the sheep is very ole
when it reaches ten, the natural limi
| of the term of its life. After reach
ing this age sheep are very likely tt
be injured by the slight exposure
which do the younger animals n,
harm. They are more liable to b
attacked by disease, and If they liv
they will be likely to produce les
wool and smaller lambs than the
have done previously. We do nc
think it pays, except perhaps in spt
cial instances, to keep sheep afte

COME TO ME- In SiY DREAHs.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

Come to me in my dreams, love;
Oh, come to me oft,
When the light wing of sleep
On my bosom lies soft.
Oh, come when the sea
In the moons gentle light,
Beats low OH the ear,
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and wave
Wear their lovcliest blue,
When the dew's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come, and We'll stray,
Where the whole year is crowned
v it'll the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
AS the coo Of dove,
And the gales are as soft
As the breathidgs of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lesson they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come, and We'll fly
Like two winged spirits
Of love, through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand
On our dream wings Well go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
and OH bright clouds we'll linger
| Through long, dreamy hours,
Till loves angels envy
The heaven of ours.

INTERVIEW WITH VICE PRESIDENT
BROWN, OF THE TEXAS PACIFIC,
ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
NEW ORLEANS
PACIFIC.

Ex-Governor j. c. Brown, Of Ten
nessee, President Of the Texas Paci-
&c Railroad, reached the city ycster.
taay, after visit through Texas. At
a late hour last night he was found,
seated on the verandall of the ST:
Charles Hotel, chatting with friend.
III response to some inquiries by q
reporter Governor Brown remarked
THAT the object Of his visit was to
make some Investigations into the
character Of the franchise and the f.
financial condition Of the New Orleans
Pacific Railway. The act OF transfer
of the latter company to the Texas
Pacific has not yet been signed, and
there still remains another month in
which to sign it.
The report of the engineers who
have lately gone over the route of
the New Orleans Pacific was very
favorable one, and the country
through which the road is to pass
impressed the engineers as being
decidedly rich one. With regard to
crossing at Baton Rouge, Governor
Brown said that the engineers were
divided on that point, and it was one
which would not be decided on until
the transfer was made. The same
thing could be said Of the terminal
facilities here.
/ Governor Brown remarked that
the charter of the Wheelock road re-
quired it to touch at Shreveport, and
hence the anxiety of the people of
that city that they would be shut out
was entirely groundles In case the
J transfer is made the contracts for
e building the road to Shreveport will
d Ebe let out Immediately and the road.
completed in eighteen or twenty
months.
Q Governor Brown expressed a strong
o desire to visit the Jetties and see for
himself if the outlet there is all that
: is claimed for it. He made the sug-
= gestion that. an eGectual way to set
N tie the depth of water there would
II he for the merchants of this city to
8. guarantee the Great Eastern cargo
If from this port to some of the Euro
= pean ports.
- The Cotton Exchange and Board
y Of Trade, lie thought, could easily
y make an arrangement whereby the
0 necessary cargo could he secured.
!; In case the Great Eastern passed
nut of the Jetties without detention,
y it would decide the utility Of the
b. Jetties and leave no room for doubt
Ill ers to stand on.
r.. Governor Brown will remain q few
h DAYS and then leave for Texas.
From his conversation it is very
KS evident that unless some unforeseen
sir circumstances should arise the trans
is. fer of the Wheelock road will sool
re be signed and building operation
:, commenced forthwith.
- A number of officials connecte,
as with the Louisville and Nashvill
ok road are in the city arranging tn
Ike details Of business connected wit
Of their road. It's thought some ad
:, vantageous changes in local passen
~ ger rates on the Mobile road will b
