The Gateway to Good Health.
To the gold hunter Pixies Peak proved
to be the gateway TO the wealth of the
Rocky mountains. To many an invalid
it has proved to be the gateway to new
life. Here, 6,000 feet above the sea, tho
pure, dry air, the strong, warm sunshine,
the beautiful surroundings, have drawn
together n town of 1000 inhabitants.
Strangers frequently remark that our
mountains arc so forbidding in aspect,
have SO little beauty, that one could never
learn to love them. In n short time this
opinion is changed or forgotten, and it is
n noticeable fact among our townspeople
that in the matter Of liking or disliking
their mountain home there is no half way
measure, they love it strongly or not at
all. To lover of nature the barrenness
discerning impenetrability of our mount
aims prove an irresistible charm, fasciIia-
tion and study that becomes every day
more interesting. From dawn to dark
they are constantly changing; Pixies
Peak more than IA, 900 feet high, signals
the coming sun long before the city at his
feet has awakened TO the new day.-Cor

was such that the judge needed ,his hat

Several Matters Settled and the Price OF
Admission Reduced.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. s.-The special
meeting of the American association was
held here, the following delegates re-
spending to the roll call: The Athletic
club, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Kansas City
and st. Louis and proxies of Cleveland.
The Metropolitan Club of New York and
Cincinnati were not represented. The
first business was the charges of Chris
Won Der Abe against Umpire Ferguson,
n resulted in a series of resolutions
declaring confidence in the honesty and
integrity of Mr.. Byrne and Umpire Fer
guson, and that the published reports of
collision with the management of the
Brooklyn club are without foundation.
The subject which came up next was in
reference to the Kansas City game of
July II, when the Brooklyn
club left the ground in the
ninth inning. The Cleveland club
was ordered to return to the Brooklyn
club the amount retained by President,
Wikoff. The Brooklyn club agreed to
abide by the decision of the association,
and a check for 81, 500 was drawn and
lodged with the president. The 50-cent
tariff was reduced to 25 cents and the
meeting adjourned.

The Indians Refuse to sign.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, (via
Binmarck), Aug. Sin the council John
Grass reiterated the determination of the
Indians to refuse to sign either paper.
Gall said that his people would go home.
They started to leave when Agent Mo
Laughlin rose and ordered them to re-
main, which they did. The commission
ers then finally adjourned the council,
and told the Indians to go home and at
tend to their crops, and the commission
ers would proceed to other agencies, and
when the Standing Rock people were
wanted again notice would be given
them. They then dispersed quietly and
set out for their homes. The Cheyenne
river agency will be visited next.
Reliable information received from
Rosebud agency is to the effect that the
Indians will not sign the treaty opening
their reservation.

The Convention Opens.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.--Great confu-
sion attended the opening of the Repub-
lican state convention. The assertion
was made that seats We're occupied by
unauthorized parties Futile efforts
Were made to clear the hall. Anumber
of motions were made to adjourn, but
were defeated. Finally Rev. X. p.
Whalen opened the proceedings with
prayer, which had a soothing effect upon
The turbulent crowd.
A resolution was then adopted inviting
Gen. Harrison to visit the convention
and a committee appointed to escort him
from his home.
The report of the credentials commit.
tee showed all counties represented with
out a single contest.
Temporary organization was dispensed
with and permanent organization quick
ly effected with Congressman Calkins
MS chairman. Hon. Thomas O. Nelson
Of Terre Haute and James M. Shackel-
ford of Evansville. were selected, for
presidential electors-at-large.
A resolution demanding service pen
sions and expressing the opinion that the
national platform will not go far enough
on this question, and another sending
greetings to Blaine, went to committee
Hnuer tne rules, ana the committee re-
ported in a few moments.
The platform opens with q tribute OF
respect to Gen. Sheridan, and endorses
and ratifles with grateful pride the Chi
cago nominations. 1t fayors local OPP
ton, declaring politics and legislation
must be kept free from the saloon infiu-
ence. This brought out general applause
renewed six times, The platform closed
with n greeting to Blaine and a welcome
home, which was first adopted, and then
the platform Us a whole.
Gen. Harrison arrived at this moment,
and a round of applause lasting five
minutes greeted him as he stepped to the
table and stood with hands clasped with
the chairman. AT 1910 the convention
stampeded for Porter, and his nomina-
ton looked certain. Posey of Pike
county, said in nominating him, Har-
rison and the Republican party were at
stake and Porter must accept.
There was an indirect announcement
from Porter that he will refuse to ac-
cept, In which case the convention will
have the modification of naming some
one else. This caused a reaction and
Porter was scored by several speakers.
Recess was taken to 2 O'Clock.

made some interesting ste.ements nom
c~eraing the operations of the trust. He
said 1t was to secure intelligent co-opsra
tion in the distilling business 'sand not

prices" Eighty-one establishments, To-
Gated In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wiscon-
sin and a few northern states were In t.e
trust, and they produced perhaps 90 pey
cent. of all the alcohol made
in this country. MI. Gteenhut
thinks import duties on spirits unnecessa-
ry to enable distillers in the country to
control the home market. In fact the
cheapness Of grain and fuel in this coun-
Try enabled the distillers hare TO produce
a superior article at lower prices than In
any other country In the world.

John S. Wise created a sensation by an
nouncing that he will shortly quit Vir-
ginia and take up his residence in New
York, and hat his anti-Mahone commit
tee will surrender to Malone. Mr..
Wise, for a young man, has had IA varied
public career. AS the favorite son of
the late Governor Fl. A. Wise he began
law practice here after the war, and soon
got into politics, and was prominent in
the Democratic party. He was a oandi-
date for congress against Gen. Joseph E,
Johnston, and withdrew in favor of that
gentleman. He was, some years after,
conspicuous as a bolter from the Demo
cratic ranks in the fight he made against
Gen. Bradley z. Johnson, aandidate for
the state senate from Richmond. MIR.
Wise followed Malone when he left the
Democratic party. Since then he has
been a Republican. He that
he will simply come home to Virginia to
vote. This looks as If Malone will run
the Republican campaign in Virginia.

hour at night she had not regained her

MAxwELL's HOPE.
A Juror Who Expressed Himself Prior
FL tho Trial

a Juror VINO Expressed Himself Priof
to the Trial.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6.-The attorneys for
Maxwell are confident that they have Sc
cured new and important testimony that
will warrant the governor in granting a
aurther respite to their client. Three
st. Louis citizens have made affidavits to
the effect that Juror Coulahan publicly
declared he was ''going on the jury to
hang MAXWELL" The atlantis gave as
reason for heretofore Withholding this
important evidence that they dislike be-
coming involved in the case, but a sense
of duty now compels them to come for
ward. The supreme court in denying a
new trial for Maxwell said If the af1da-
Wits OF two responsible men could be had
showing that Juror Coulahan was pre-
Judged prior to the trial, 1t would be
good ground for reversal. Maxwell's at
torneys' believe, therefore, that they have
q good case.
