SHELTER AND FOUNDRY.
Inevitable Acquisitions to Indus
trial Cheyenne.
Glowing Report of Chemist Hodges
on Hartville.
Mountains of Iron-and Vast Beds
of Copper.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
OMAHA, Neb., March 17.-H. b.
Hodges, the Union Pacific chief chemist,
has made a preliminary report to officials
here on the iron and copper district north
OF Cheyenne, He was accompanied on
the trip by a Colorado gentleman whose
fame as d mining expert may be said to be
almost international. These two speak
glow ingly of the region visited. They
say that the iron deposits are simply
mountains of high grade ore which can
be reduced cheapiy and the blanket cop
per mines will return millions to the dc.
velopers.
Vice. President Holcomb and other Of.
ficials to whom Mr.. Hodges gave an &C.
count OF his journey, are reticert, but
enough was CLEANED to warrant the state
ment that the Cheyenne & Northern will
soon be built to the iron deposits and that
in all probability smelters and foundrys
will be established at Cheyenne.
President Adams is personally inter-
ested in these mines, as well as the vice
president. Both are immensely wealthy,
aside from their railway interests and
have monied friends anxious to follow
their lead.
The above information will be no sur
prise to LEADER readers. as this paper
has kept the public informed on the sub
ject matter all along, and has persistently
predicted that Hartville iron and copper
ores would yet be smelted in Cheyenne.
It's glorious news. This means en-
richment by millions and an increase of
population by thousands. Cheyenne's
day is at hand.

our Candidate.

The following is brief history, taken
from the Otero County Republicun, or
the next Representative from the Bent
Legislative district, Hon. Charles H. Allen,
of Otero county;
"Charles H. Allen, is native of Maine
He was born in Somerset county in 1874.
During the early years of his life he re-
sided with his father on the farm devot-
ing good portion of his time at school.
At the date the civil war commenced and
when he was not yet eighteen year Of age,
he enlisted as a soldier in Company X of
the Dist regiment from his State in
which command he served in the Gener
al Banks campaign in the Mississippi
Department. where he was participant
Rogue. After the fall of Port Hudson
he returned to his home with his regi-
ment, the time of his first enlistment
having expired. Spending short time
at his home he re-enlisted in Company
g of the 31st regiment, Maine Infantry,
and was at once placed in the field of
active service under the commandership
of General Grant. His first battle under
his re-enlistment was that Of the Will
derness, which was Immediately followed
by succession Of campaigns, battles and
skirmishes, among which Spottsylvania,
Cold Harbor and Petersburg, Virginia,
were the most conspicuous. His last
service was performed with Burnside's
Corps when after the Battle of the
Mine,"-his regiment having been almost
annihilated, he with its survivors, was
captured and taken to Danville prison
and from thence to Libby prison, from
which prison, after CONTINENT of seven
months he was exchanged and returned
to his home a walking skeleton, COM
pared to the date of his capture, but be-
fore the final surrender of the Confeder-
ate armies, he had regained sufficient
strength and returned to his command
and was finally mustered out with it, at
ter the last gun had been fred. Re
manning with his father and family until
1866 he went to Montana where he on
gagged himself in placer mining for six
years, then returned to his old home;
united himself in marriage, and engaged
himself in the granite business for time;
when upon the advice of his doctors be
sought warmer climate; going first to
Florida, and then to North Carolina.
During the year of 1879 Mr.. Allen came
to Colorado; locating first in Colorado
Springs, and afterwards upon the home
stend he now occupies in 1886. He is one
of the most thrifty and energetic farmers
in the Arkansas valley; gentleman
against whom no stain OF reproach can
be brought to bear-a high and worthy
member of the Masonic and other orders
and Knight who will clear tho Demo-
cratic field this fall. In point Of educa-
tion Mr.. Allen is gentleman who can
say what he means and has the courage
and stability to stand to any measure
entrusted to his care before any audience
or within the halls Of any legislaturs.n

market for all our raw material.

their departments.
Resolved: That the waters of the
State belong in fact as well as in theory
to the people and we demand such legis-
lation as shall protect the people in the

Prof. p. NJ. Condit, who was
nominated by the Independents for
Superintendent of Public 1nstruc-
ton. has withdrawn from the race,
and advises all of his friends and
friends of the public schools to
support Prof. Fred Dick. In his
position of Superintendent Of Pub
lie Schools for Delta county, which
position he has held for several
years, he has been a witness to the
fact that Prof. Dick has done more
for Colorado's schools than any of
the honorable gentlemen who have
previously held that Office, and be-
lieving that his conscientious, earn
est and efficient labors in that line
deserve the endorsement Of a re.
election, he has taken this course
to show his approval of them. OF
course we can now expect to hear
a howl of rage and disappointment
from the already much kicked Den
yer Republican. Poor old rag
For two years it kicked and howleJ
and could not even name one can
didate on the Republican State
ticket, and now that it sees it will
not be able to defeat even one Of
the nominees its wrath is boiling
all over its twelve pages of stale
rehashes and advertisements.

The Bent district in the past has
had a beastly habit of always send
ing Democrats to the Legislature,
which has deprived her of the right
of recognition by the lawmakers of
the State. The voters of the dis
trict have discovered their mistake
and will rectify it at the polls this
fall. The interests of the Arkan-
sas valley are too numerous and
important to be longer intrusted
to incompetent men.

Tennessee has the deadlock fe-
yer this year. One convention has
Just succeeded in nominating a
candidate for Congress on the
5,054th ballot, while two others
are running neck and neck race,
one having reached 1887 and the
other 1909 ballots. The fight is
all over the nominations in that
State, and is more protracted on
account of the two-thirds rule pre-
vailing in all Democratic conven-
tions there.

Congress has adjourned and the
Democratic members are trying to
discover something they did be-
side obstruct public business. They
are not likely to succeed however,
unless Bynum and Mills want to
count the number Of times they
made asses of themselves.

The absence of our candidate for
Representative, Hon. G. II. Allen,
from the convention last week was
accounted for by the birth of a
young Republican at his house on
that day. He has so far recovered
that he expects to open the cam
paign shortly. That boy will be
a good mascot.

During the session of Congress
that has just closed Hon. Hosea
Townsend, although new member,
has succeeded in getting through
more bills for the benefit of his
own State and his own people than
any other member of the lower
branch of that body. If any man
ever did earn reelection, he GER
tainly has and he will receive it
by a majority that will be fiat
tering endorsement of his services,
and also will place premium on
the faithful discharge by public Of
ficials of the duties of the office
that the people have entrusted to
them.

A couple of negro women work
ing in a canning factory at Mount
Holly, New Jersey, recently threw
a man into vat filled with boiling
tomatoes. This shows more dis
elimination than we supposed ne
gro women possessed. Only think
if they had have thrown him into
a vat filed with boiling onions
Gosh!

The tariff bill has passed both
the House and the Senate and will
90 into effect as soon as signed by
the President. 1t is expected to
make a reduction of $50, 10000
in the revenues. This with the
deficiency caused by the enormous
stealings under the Cleveland ad-
ministration will remove all dan
ger of a surplus accumulating in
the future.

Mr.. Allen will vote for Senator
Teller to succeed himself. This is
sufficient of itself to entitle him to
the votes of all progressive and
honest citizens.

The Democratic commissioners
are getting estimates on the prob
able assessed valuation of the coun-
ty in 1892, they have already is
sued certificates of Indebtedness to
wipe out all of the levies for 1890
and 81, and are now ready to COM
mence on that of 92 Fortunately
they have not much longer to stay,
another year of their extravaganza
would force the county to bank
ruptcy and reputation. They do
not care because the Democratic
party has never attempted to han
die debt except by the dishonor-
able means of repudiation.
The Lamar register., 1890-10-04

The difference between the Re
publican and Democratic parties
on the tariff question is that the
Democrats blow hard and constant
ly and do nothing, while the Re
publican party does not talk SO
much but when it promises the
people to reform the tariff it keeps
its promise in a businesslike and
statesmanlike way. The Republi-
can party is party of statesmen,
the Democratic party is conglom-
Grafton of blowhards. The former
canspass bills and carry on the pub
lie business, the latter can make a
noise. Take your choice.

UNDER THE FLOWERS.

A little narrow bed of earth
Holds now their PROSTATE forms,
Lost to the land that gave them birth,
And deaf 10 her alarms.
Their folded hands can join no strife,
Their hearts can feel no hate;
Sure soldiers brave and true in life
Deserve a soldiers fate.
How bootless is q warfare made
On mute and helpless men;
Who never more can grasp a blade,
Or strike one blow again.
The women Of their people love
Their deeds in battle done,
Dear memories of those who strove,
And whose short race Is run.
Now, on their cold pathetic dust,
They crave TO come and weep,
And emblems bring of love and trust,
To beautify their sleep.
Gods blessings come TO all alike,
For all his flowers bloem.
Shall IL be left for man 10 strike
The garland from the tomb?
