Tho Denver CoxcyItes.

The Coxeyitcs who left Denver last week
are having a variety Of experiences. Several

boats. They had very rough experiences be-
fore reaching Brighton on account Of the
high water and at least two were drowned.
At La Sallc Monday night about 400 OF
Carriers Utah men broke away from the rest
and forcibly took possession Of a freight
train on the Gulf road. As the county Of
fcers and trainmen could n OF resist them
they were hauled to Julcsburg, where they
struck the Union Pacific line.
Their reception at Julcsburg was not very
hospitabe. The freight wns stopped before
1t entered the city limits, the men warned oil
the cars by sheriI's posse and held at bay1
At last accounts the army was strung out
along the banks Of the Platte near the town,
waiting for another train to come along and
pick them up.
Reports from Julesburg Thursday morning
were that the 500 CoXeyitcs had not yet left
the town. They made several attempts to
ride east on Union Pacific trains, but the
railroad men refused to pull them out Of
town. Their provisions were running low.
The leaders waited on the city council We'd
nesday and informed that body that unless
they were furnished means OF transportation
in few hours they would make trouble. The
citizens were arming and preparing to pro-
tect their property. On Monday Judge Dun

steamer, which belongs to the Peru
vian government, and is to be used
for fIeight and passenger traffic. was
built on the Clyde, then taken apart
in more than thousand pieces and
shipped to MoIlendo by sea. 1t was
then carried to Puno by railway and
transported over the mountains on

COAL STRIKE ENDED,

Compromiss Agreed Upon which Will
Probably be Ratified.
+ At a meeting of coal miners and operators
held at Columbus, Onio, on the 11th a COM

r. B. Mcguire, member Of the executive
board of the Knights of Labor, when told of
the terms of settlement made to the miners,
said: "Wcll, OF course, the prices arc not as
good MS they expected, but under the crcum-
stances think 1t is n good thing. There is
no doubt whatever in my mind that the men
who have been making all this trouble and
melting others to riot we're put there by tho

began rioting the militia would be called out
and then everything would 90 their own

Cripple Creek mines.
The mines that re-opened Monday were the

Lawyer Bunker of Ellsworth. Maine.
recently had an unprecedented con-
test with an angry bull on the Han

place. He seized the angry beast
by the horns, and, after an exciting
tussle, actually succeeded in down
ing the bull. Since then the young
farmers of the county have been
practicing this hazardous wrestli. Q,

now boast of his ability to upset any

TIE Field Columbian Museum,
which was opened to the public at
Chicago on the End, is an epitome Of
the Worlds Fair, for every depart
ment is condensation of some de-
partment of the Exposition, and rep
resents the most interesting and best
of the department. The building used
is that devoted to fine arts at the fair.
1t was prepared and the exhibits were
installed under the direction of F. j.
V. Skiff, formerly of Colorado, and he
has been highly complimented for the
ability shown. The day before the
opening Of the museum one Of the
Chicago dailies made this Pattering
mention of Mr.. Skiff: "At this early
day we will venture to predict that Mr..
F. J. V. Skiff's remarks at the open

will be the most succinct, most COM
prehensivc, most felicitous, and alto

The Secret Of Success Through the
Medium of the Newspapers.
The success OF advertising depends
upon the advertiser. He must have

investment for any business man.
Loss OF confidence in q business an

All advertising does not pay.
There must be Judgment used in
making Investments in advertising

goods Advertising is not q one
quality and q one-priced article any
more than woolen goods, broadcloths.
oranges or meats. The medium for
advertising, the circulation and
number of readers, must all be con-
sldered. There are catch-penny
advertising schemes offered in every
town which do not afford fair re-
turn for the money invested.
The newspapers of place are al
ways better than "the occasional
opportunity" for announcing bar
gains, and always give a better re-
turn. 1t Is q fair estimate to couLt
five readers for every paper. and tho
larger the number OF papers issued
tho more valuable the space. The
money paid in catch-penny schemes
for single issue is frequently
enough to pay for the same space in

West Point Men Not Necessarily Pre-
ferred for Promotion.
An impression that West Point
graduates by virtue OF their inilu-
ence at Washington obtain the best
appointments in the army, and in
that respect have an advantage over
men who entered the service as
civilians. is shown to have no founda-
tion by Lieutenant H. l. Hawthorne,
Fourth artillery. who writes letter
on the subject to a Boston paper. 1t
was called forth by q complaint
that "the military academy gradu-
ates are responsible for the con-
stantly manifest tendency OF tho
last thirty years to pass over men
whose record really entities them to
staff duty and appointments. inde-
pendent commands, or attractive de-
tails, in favor Of West Pointers. ="
First drawing attention to the facts
that four OF the seven major generals
of to-day sprang from civil life. and
that General N. A. Miles. who is q
non-graduate, will in short time
become commanding general, Lieu
tenant Hawthorne says: Now
as to the staff appointments.
The adjutant generals depart
ment is made up Of nine
non-graduates and eight graduates.
The inspector generals department
is composed OF six non graduates and
one graduate. Both of these depart
ments receive their members by
choice from the captains of the line
of the army. and these figures do not
seem to indicate that preference has
been shown To Jne gruuna%rs IiIo
proportions in the other staff depart
ments is as follows: Judge advocate

per cent non-graduates; quartermas-
ter's department. sixty-one per cent
non-graduates; subsistence depart
ment, thirty-tive per cent non-gradu-
ates; pay department. eighty-eight
per cent n-graduates. The other
staff departments, except the chap
lain's, are not filled by selection, SO
they need not be considered. OF
the nineteen holding rank as general
officers, ten are non-graduates. In
the regiments of cavalry. six Of tho
ten colonels are non-graduates- In
the artillery but one Of the FIVE colo
nels is a non graduate; while in the
infantry seventeen of the twenty-five
colonels are non-graduates."

amount Of property man can devise

those in favor Of this bill that most

have been accumulated by illegal
means, such as stock gambling, trusts

When the retreat commenced It was appar-
ent that there would be no trouble General
Brooks had been assured by the miners that
no violence weuld occur, and he, in turn,
promised safety to the deputies. The miners
gathered on the hills to watch the cavalcade
pass along the road below, but there was
neither jeerIng nor cheering.
1t was barely 10 o'clock when the last
member OF the posse.had gone, leaving the
militia In supreme control Of the great gold
camp.
About half OF the militia was released
from service at Cripple Creek on the
14th and sent home. Those most anxious to
attend to their business were sent home.
They were obliged to walk to Colorado
Springs The outgoing troops took with
them twenty-one prisoners, who were placed
in jail at Colorado Springs.
Kumors were circulated Friday that several
miners had been warned out Of the camp.
General Brooks says that all any man has to
do who has been interfered with in any of his
lawful rights by union or non-union miners
is to report the fact to him, and he declared
in the most emphatic language that II he
could, by any means in his power, learn the
name of the guilty party, he would arrest
