the death OF Mrs. Pettis, is reminded
that society in the Gypsum Valley is

the sober phase OF older and popu-
lous communities"

DENVER, Dec. g. - Before starting for
Salida to attend the miners convention,
Gov. Waite received a letter warning him
that the employees at the penitentiary and
other residents of Canyon City were plot
ting to kidnap him from the train at some
small station ana spirit him away to the
mountains. The governor made his Jour-
ney safely. but il is possible an attempt
will be made TO carry ont the plot on the
return trip. The feeling against the gov
ernor in that section is very bitter.
especially among the prison employees, on
account Of the attempt to remove Warden
McAIlister.
SAIIpA, Col, Dec. 6.--Sov. Waite called
his miners convention TO order this after
noon. twenty delegates being present The
governor in his address claimed that every
state has a right to make its own legal ten
der, and recommended that Colorado enact
a iaw making every silver dollar legal ten
der no matter where such dollar was
coined, provided IT contains 37i4 grains OF
silver. he conceded the exclusive right Of
congress TO coin money, bu: claimed that
the right had been neglected and therefore
reverted back TO the states An extra ses-
sion of the legislature should take action
TO compel adjudication by the United
States supreme court By vote OF 10 20 :
the convention decided in favor of an ex-
ira session. The governor announced
,hs. he would call . session early In Ianu-
ary.

WAsHiSsroy CRY. Dec 6-The wavs
and means committee has been listening
by suo-committees in groups OF twos and
threes and individually TO the complaints
of those who want the tariff changed in
different particulars which will affect their
interests Among the delegations was one
representing large playing-card manu-
featuring concerns Of New York. Cincin-
natl and Indianapolis, who claimed that q
larger tax would yield a greater revenue
and enable the manufacturers TO continue
in business. A Democratic member of
the committee said be expected these pro-
tests would be made and vas not disturbed
by them and not inclined 10 make any
changes unless il appears that some unin-
tentionai error hiss been made.
Efforts are being made by Democrats
dissatisfied with the bill to have a caucus
he'd. The members of the committee do
not want caucus, and will probably use
their best endeavors 10 prevent one. The
friends OF the administration are also
counted upon TO prevent a caucns. The
tariff bill will now be taken up by the full
committee and the Democrats think in
three or four days IL can ne reported TO the
house. The Republicans want more time,
but the Democrats will insist on reporting
the bill and having several set speeches in
the house before the holiday recess In
quiry as 10 the position of the Populists on
the tariff h,ll leads to the conclusion that
they are likely to support IL in a body in
botn houses. They would like one even
more radical. but. being unable to get it

ton in the senate is one of considerable
interest. Some Democrats are inclined to

No BLANKS In TINS COMPETITION.

No BLANKS In THIS COMPETITION.
This is competition of rather an un-
usual nature. II is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture. or
Architectural plan, all the competitors
riskining the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
prize. But the Press Claims Company S
offer is something eutirly different Each
person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only a stimulus TO do some
thing that would be well worth doing
without it. The architect whose compe-
titive plan for club house on n certain
corner is not accepted he has spent his
labor on something OF very little use Ia
him. But the person who patentsa simple
and useful device m the Press Claims
CompaDy's competition, need not worry
ii he fails TO secure the prize. He has a
substantial result TO show for his work
One that will command its value in the
market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought To know better how
TO improve it than the mechanical expert
who studies ii only from the theoretical
point Of view. Get rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple 10 be worth
patentlng. The simler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Company's twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading news papers of the United
States.
