which was the subject of much curious
interest before it was opened. 1t was

and, at first, Mr.. Hauser thought that
some friends had been playing prac-

ne thought OF getting some one else to
open it, Dismissing the latter
theory as foolish, however. he
proceeded to open it himself. 'This
surely is joke" he said. as che
pulled off roll after roll of wrapper.
"Handle carefully" was found in

Persevering, Mr.. Hauser finally dis

Silver Bill. in New York for
week. Heis a stoutly-
built man of fifty, with full face and
plump cheeks, a large black mustache
and the air of prosperous business
man. He was a lawyer by profession,
but dropped Its practice for the banking
business and was for years before his
election aC pnvprnnr the aach;pr
large bank in Denver. He is not can
didate for reelection, although he has
had but one term. In chatting about
Colorado affairs he said among other
things: 1.-The silver bill has been of
great value in stimulating affairs
in our state. In the first place
our silver product has been in
creased in value by the rise of silver
from $4,000 to S10,0OO,OO0 per annum.
New mining camps have been opened,
and mines which were not being worked
of the silver bill alone the Rio Grande
Southern railroad decided to extend it's
construction between Dallas and Dur
angO, a distance of $50 miles, to open up
new silver fields. With the passage of
the Mckinley bill, under which our
lead. coal, iron, wool and copper are
protected, Colorado will be on the very
high road to prosperity. We are pro-
tect1onists out in the mountains, but we
believe in the protection theory that
would cover the entire country. We
do not want one state protected at the
expense of another"
Chicago Fair So George Davis is to

Director. Did you ever run across
llmS 10 Use slang
expression. he is the slickest citizen that
Slickyille ever produced. As county
treasurer he handled the finances and
the politics of the Windy City for years
in way that would have turned some
of the Tammany manipulators green
with envy. After getting solid mort
gage on the Republican organization in
Chicago, Davis blossomed out as state
boss. put Fifer into the field as the
party's candidate for governor, and then
quietly relegated LOgan's veteran cam
paigner Long" Jones to the rear and
assumed command himself. He is man
of tireless energy and endless resources.
and a match for the heather Chnee in
ways that are dark. He will own the
fair before it is well under way. and
when opening day comes-if it ever does
cOme-the country will be flocking to
Chicago to see George Davis show"
instead of the then forgotten worlds
fair. Altogether, Chicago seems to be
getting up the prize sham of the century.
