PUEBLO POINTERS.

The Pueblo city council has not ye
taken steps toward improving the ap
proaches to the Union avenue and
street viaducts; but it should and with
out delay. Tho grades are SO steeE
that in wet weather horse is terribl,
punished in climbing up. Better come
to Bessemer and get large quantity o.
pulverized Stag to spread on the grade
if they can't afford anything more ex
pensive.
The Chieftain is booming what if
known us Ophir camp, new discovered
gold region about eight miles west oil
Beulah, and says it may prove to be
another Cripple Creek. 1t states that
assays showing from 81 to 2371z ounces
of gold per ton have been made. 23715
ounces of gold is equivelant to about
s4,750 which beats Cripple Creek,
Creede and the San Juan country all
hollow, and these samples were procured
at depth of not more than twelve
feet. 1t is good gold story anyhow
and will do to pass around whether
there is anything in 1T or not.
The Grand hotel will pass into the
management OF E. w. Schubert to-mor-
row. The Grand has been sort of
white elephant for year but Mr.. Schu-
bert is confident Of making it go all
right.
1t is only matter Of conjecture when
work will be commenced on the govern
ment building. 1t may be in the spring
but it is question whether the appro-
priation made for the building will be
available by that time.
Main street merchants are making a
vigorous kick because of the ten minute
street car service being taken away.
Now the only cars running on that
street are those Of the lake line which
pass every half-hour and the merchants
enter loud protest, claiming right to
the West Abriendo and Dundee SER
vice.
The board OF trade is entertaining a
proposition from pickle and preserve
factory of Kansas to remove the plant
to Pueblo. The Kansans do not want
the earth rs bonus but they will take
a good sized patch Of it.
Manager Lockin is fast making
the Grand opera house a paying
institution and is affording the
public an opportunity to attend
good plays to their hearts content.
The Grand has become very popu-
lar.
Hiram L. Holden has succeeded G. A,

BEssEMER needs bank and needs
it bad. The big pay rolls of the steel
works should be handled here. II
the checks could be cashed in Besse-
mer much Of the money which now
finds its way out of the city would
remain with the business men of
Bessemer and thereby assist in
building Up the city. This is the
way in which every producer can be
a builder and the only way to make
the town go ahead. A bank would
be Of immense benefit and would do
a big business. When will it
come?

Many OF the rail mill and con
verter men while waiting for their
departments to start up have joined
the floating gang under Jim Robin
son or the brick crew under Tom
Phillips and are doing good service
in hurrying along the general re-
pairs of the mill.
Three of the ten boilers being
placed for blast furnace No. are
raised to their proper elevation and
the brick work is progressing slowly
but surely. w. R. Rees, Adam
Kuntz, Will Little, Jim Cromar,
ct al are using their trowels to good
effect.
The break down in the rail mill
occurred just as the big 15 thousand
tons order for 70's for the Union
Pacific was begun. Only four rails
had been made when the finishing
roll broke.
About $4,000 will be the amount
of the pay roll next Saturday-the
largest ever known in the history OF
of the mill. This pay roll, Super
intendent I. w. Robinson thinks,
will be augmented to 100000 next
spring.
The addition to the converter Of
flee is about completed and will be
used for a laboratory, the tests from
the converter to be made there in
stead of sending samples to the
main laboratory. In this way much
valuable time will be saved.

THERE are many strangers in the
city, some looking about with view
to going into business while others
are seeking employment in the steel

for investment. Bessemer will be
one of the livliest places in the state

STEEL WORKS SPARKS.

The rail mill starts up again next
Monday. The finishing roll which
broke last Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock will be replaced by that time
and all hands will go to work again.
1t was serious break down but one
of the unavoidables and no one was
to blame. After awhile the weak
parts in the machinery will all be
replaced and then delays will be
few. The roll is being turned out
here, the men working day and
night.

and on Thursday, it being the 54th

birthday, surprised that diminutive
old timer at his ranch on the st.

was gay time at his place doesn't

was none of the foaming beverage

E. P. Cush who was expelled from

THE &C. & 1. HOSPITAL.
Something About the Improvements
Being Made.


Valuable and much needed i'm
provements are being made in and
about the c. G. & I. hospital. For a
year past these changes have been
under contemplation and are now
being carried out and in a very ex-
tensive and creditable manner. AL
ready number of the electric
lights have been put in the building
and few lights have also
been placed in the verandas. A
comfortable reading and smoking
room has been fitted up where the
disabled may spend an hour of
profit and pleasure, and where con-
tributions of newspapers, magazines
and books are thankfully received.
Tne interior of the building is re-
ceiving fresh coat of paint and the
same attention will be given the
outside.
The grounds will be carefully
looked after, it being the purpose of
those having them in charge to raise
the entire lawn several inches
which will lend new life and vigor
to the grass and shrubbery, the
flower beds will be laid out anew
and the trees trimmed. A menag-
erie will be established for the en-
1oyment of the patients. This in
teresting feature of the improve
ments has good start inasmuch as
there is already collection of
pigeons of several varieties, rabbits
of different species, magpies and a
lone ground hog. This disconsolate
individual is quite a pet and re-
ceives much attention. With these
additions the old hospital and the
premises will be shorn of much of
their gloomy aspectand the MANNED
or sick steel worker will find COM
fort in the cheerful and newly fur
nished rooms while he listens to |
the glad songs of his dumb COM
panions outside.

Swallowing Abilities of Snakes.

The jaws Of the chicken snake are
hung on hinges that can be taken apart
or displaced for the time being, as tkr
case may be, and an entire Texas cot
tontail rabbit can be persuaded to enter
head and all, with little effort, and the
body being made of india rubherlike
material and very stretchable the kick
ing little animal soon finds lodgment
in the stomach. His snakeship then
carefully resets his jaws so that his
mouth assumes its normal size and
blissfully reposes for the succeeding si1
hours. The powerful gastric juice does
the balance, and no Texan can testify
that he ever heard of a chicken snake
suffering from indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia. The capture and digestion
of chickens, song birds, turkey eggs and
rats constitute simple pastime to the
chicken snake and does not call for q
six hour layoff in feeding time.-Port

Few Men Die of Overwork

DR.. Pye Smith holds that there is no
fear Of the ordinary man using his
brains too much for health, and he does
not believe that mental labor or honest
work of any kind interferes with health
or shortens life day. He maintains
that excessive eating is the abuse that
tends to the injury of brain workers
more than any other cause.
Many active brain workers have sud
denly broken down and fancied that it
was due to brain fatigue, when, rs a
matter of fact, it was due to over stuff
ing their stomachs. The furnace cen
nection with mental machinery became
clogged up with ashes and carbon in
various shapes and forms, and as a re-
suit disease came, and before the case
was fully appreciated demoralized con-
dition of the nervous system was man
ifested and the prosaic cause for the
collapse was suppressed under the eu-
phemistic "mental overwork. ."-Pitts-

Don't Drink Wine with Bananas.

The statement made in connection
with the death of Colonel Gilmore that
wine and banana juice combined made
a deadly poison has caused much com
ment and much more comparing OF
notes. That to eat bananas and drink
wine Immediately afterward is to court
certain death, as was stated by gentle
man Of some experience, is not correct,
or I would have died score of deaths
from poison before this, and the inhablt-
ants of the West Indian islands would
have been decimated time and again,
for the combination is common among
those who can secure wine.
1t is possible that some particular
wines are dangerous in combination
with bananas, but the rule does not ap-
ply either to champagne or sherry. The
suggestion, however, that bananas are
injurious in connection with anything
is rather novel one to me, because
there are few fruits which will preserve
life and health like the banana. When
properly ripened the fruit is at once de-
licious. and nutritious.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A Stone Image Sixty Feet Under Ground.

Years ago, probably as early as 1881,
when workmen were excavating a cut
on the Humeston and Shenandoah rail
way, they found a stone image about
eight inches in height imbedded in the
clay at depth of about sixty feet be-
meath the surface. In general attitude
the image may be said to be in squat
ting or sitting posture, the right elbow
resting upon the bent knee. Two horns,
each about an inch in length, adorned
the head. The mouth, and in fact the
whole face, was very large for the size
of the image. The main question is,
How long has it been since that image
was an object Of worship?-St. Louis Re

A Pathetic Death on Pixies Peak.

Several years ago, when the summit
house on Pixies peak was used as a sig
nal station, the occupants Of the hut
were telegraph operator and COM
panion. Winter had set in with more
than usual severity. Unexpectedly the
telegraph operator was taken sick and
failed so rapidly that the first day of his
illness plunged him into delirium. The
companion of the operator was not IA
miliar with telegraphy. Their provisions
were growing short.
The second night brought no relief.
The sight of his raving, half starved
comrade grew intolerable to the weary
nurse, who one night went out on the
mountain top. Scarcely had the door
closed behind him than reason returned
to the dying operator. With the little
strength that he had retained he dragged
himself to his instrument and flashed
over the wire, down the mountain side,
that his companion had been lost on the
mountain and that he could live but
little while, but that they might yet be
rescued if assistance started at once.
Crawling back to his pallet the sender
of the message died. The wanderer at
length found his way back to the hut to
have added to his cheerless surroundings
the presence of death. At the sight of
his lifeless comrade the last ray Of hope
faded, and he sank unconscious beside
the dead operator.
With the first intimation that there
was distress on the mountain top party
of willing men, mostly miners wintering
at Colorado Springs, started for the sum-
NIT. They reached the top after days
weary travel, and just in time to resus-
citate the still unconscious man, who IN
the end recovered.-Chicago Tribune.

Early Mental Development.

Both common observation and the
closest scientific study have made ii
plain that youth is the period of sense
ascendency. From this most important
conclusions follow, which we cannot
ignore without paying heavy penalty.
Attention has been called to the infant
in order to show that, prior to all school
education, nature asserts herself and
points the way in which the human
brain and mind develop. Any educa-
ton that overlooks these facts is directly
against the organization we possess, and
must be more or less of failure.-Wes-
ley Mills, NJ. D., in Popular Science

one.
"A merchant is man who keeps dry

third.

tells US that he was obliged, with tears il

of TIE GLOBE staff-that he was on its
pay-roll-but he forgot to tell them that
he paid US.
He had but little time in the hotel there

United States-so he made a Racket-as
he always does.
And accordingly he was shown through
this immense place at ! o'clock, although
ii is not open to tourists till after 3 p. m.
so much for the fame of Proctor and

walters and servants and has a seating

he does not know. He is now in quest
