Correspondence of the Ledger.
M~ANIToU, Colo, July 2S.-Man-
itau and Colorado Springs have put
on their summer clothes, and the
festive tourist is to be seen every
where. The strike only helped the
people to become more and more
anxious to get out of the hot wealth
er, and the hotels are now filled TO
overlooking. To-day the ''Shriners"
have taken the town, and a man
who does not wear Masonic emhlems
galore is not given a second thought.
The Turner's, also, have been hold
ing forth in Denver during the past
week, and as they have sorely taxed
the capacity of the local breweries
it is likely that they, also, will join
in the search of ''other worlds TO
conquer.
Colorado Springs has a visitor
who is the recipientof many curious
chances, etc, as she walks down the
avenues. It's no one but the fair
Madeline Pollard, the plaintiff in
the famous breach of promise suit.
Miss Pollard has been in this city
| shout a week, and, in the company
of another young woman, is living
a quiet life in a North TETON street
boarding hoase. The world is very
small, after all.
There are several visitors IN Man.
itau who are well known in Mexico.
Miss Lena Pearson, formerly one OF
"our girls has been here about
six weeks. Miss Pearson is with Il
party Of Marshall, Mo, friends, one
of whom is Mrs. Annie Hafford-P Page.
Miss Ida (Hazel) Bannister, of Kan.
sas City, also we'll known in Mexi-
co, is another guest. In fact, Mis-
souri, is better represented than any
other State, with Texas a close sec.

So the Fulton Sun has changed
hands. Sad, sad indeed! No Ion
ger will the vapid oozing from ''Lit

uphold to the critical gaze of the
general public the many short com
ings of Mexico, nor will his much
gifted quill dwell at length upon thu
manifold beauties of superior Full
