Damage Done.

Pueblo, Colo, May 31.--It has rained
necessarily for thirty hours all over the

flooded and the water rises two feet
above the first floors. The electric street
cars have stopped running, the works

entering the city are tied up and the loss
will be at least 100000. The journal

work. The flood is now receding and it
is thought that all danger in this city is
passed.

heavy.
The rain which began falling here at
8. a. m. yesterday still continues. The
Platte river is higher than it has been for

The exhibition Pearson is making OF
himself is pitable. He lives, so far as his
campaign is concerned, in the side issues,
concerning which there is no general it,
terest. Ii he knows anything about the
more serious matters of politics he has
not yet allowed the fact to escape him.
Some prattle about an Alliance card, a
negro and Tom Reeds mileage for it is
his as well as Crawiord's this is the
whole stock in trade OF a man who
seriously proposes that he is the one
man in the District fit to succeed Craw-
ford. We say this is pitiable, and we
say SO because we feel it to be.
Mr.. Pearson has been mentioned in
times past as a man OF some shrewdness;
but plain, ordinary common sense would
have prevented him from making such
an exhibition OF himself as to say on the
platform Saturday that he would not
say another word till Crawford had
answered a question. OF course Craw-
ford refused to answer the question,
which was little more inane than Pear
son usually puts, and sat calm and un-
concerned while Pearson's time expired
without further attempt to use it, be
having put his foot into trap of his

EulrOR THE CrrIzEN:-lt is with re-
grct we learn that the name of our order,
the unlor Order United American
Mechanics, was brought into the poiti-
cal discussion last Saturday. 1t thus
becomes nece ssary for some explanation
to our political friends regarding our
position in politics, etc. We wish to say
that we as an organization have moth
ing to do with any mans political ideas.
AS an American organization we recog'
nize civil and religious liberty as price
less gift; therefore we are strictly non.
sectarian and non-partisan. We advo-
cate certain reforms that can be had
only through the hands of Congress, viz:
more stringent laws regarding restrlc-
ton of immigration and the naturaliza-
ton of aliens. To this extent we are
political, but we are not partisan. In
other words, while we contend tor these
reforms, we care not what may be the
name of the party that inaugurates
them.
These reforms are our aim and not the
success OF any political party.
The reports being circulated that our
members belong to any one party and
that we are going to support any one
candidate we wish to most emphatically
deny. Our membership in this city, as
all over the United States, is posed
of men OF all classes, OF all political par
ties, and at no time during our meetings
are subjects OF political or scttarlan
character allowed to be introduced, nor
shall any member make use of the name
OF the order at any political meeting
Surely this is not partisan.
| On the school question, we believe that
the free school system shall be upheld
and protected tlom any sevtarian inter
terence, believing that through it our
country is destined to noble future;
and from what we know OF both the
honorable candidates for congressional
honors we will have in either one an able
supporter of our public schools, and we
see no reason why our order shoull be
brought forward on this line.
The impression has also beer, conveyed
that we are an organization OF mechanics
that is, labor organization. No,
we are not. The word mechanic is at.
tached with a different meaning from
that usually accepted, and those who
should become one OF us will be taught
that meaning and will agree that it is
correct. We admit members from every
walk of life, professional and business
man, carpenter, day laborer, and all as,
sembled under the same roof, limited to
nothing but the aut hority of the United
States.
Thanking you for the space taken W

lie and those interested in the presen,
campaign to consider these utterances

ODD THINGS EATEN BY BIRDS


Queer Articles Sometimes Find Resting.
Place In Their Stomachs.
Some very odd things are come across
by the ornithologists who are engaged
in examining the stonlachs of various
kinds of birds for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what they eat and how much
of the crops they destroy. In the
stomach of a crow was found a war.
bier. The stomach of the warbler con-
tained caterpillar, and traces of the
vegetation on which the latter had fed
were clearly discerned under the micro
scope. Another oddity discovered in the
stomach of a crow was rubber elastic
band, which had evidently been picked
up by mistake for worm. Once In
awhile bedbug is found in the stom.
ach of woodpeckcr. Doubtless the
insects are got from pine trees. Pine
cones are often infested by bedbugs,
which must have lived on those trees
long before they became human para.
sites. Ticks, too, which likewise breed
on trees, are discovered occasionally in
birds stomachs, though so rarely as to
suggest that the feathered creatures
are afraid of them and would avoid
them, as rule.
The insects in birds stomach are
ordinarily counted by their jaws. For
example, caterpillars have soft bodies,
which are quickly digested, leaving
their jaws to be gradually ground up
and disposed of in the gizzard. The
jaws of beetles, caterpillars and grass
hoprers are made of one of the most
enduring substances in nature, being
nearly as hard as the teeth of man.
mails. They are very characteristic, SC
that the difference may readily be told
between those of cricket, grasshop'
per, locust, etc. The jaws found in
the stomach of bird counted and di

of insects represented. Cuckoos are

ETERNAL SENTINELS.

At Raleigh the other day Chauncey F..
Black said. concerning the Nicaragua
canal:
"lf we have right to our country at
all, we have right to guard it bv every
means which God and nature have put
in our hands. and this is one of the most
obvious. If Jefferson could buy Louisi-
ana, il Polk could acquire California, it
Jackson could propose to take Florida

Democracy, in full possession, as they
are now, and as we hope they will be

liar station in the Caribbean sea to
stand the eternal sentinels of the great
republic over it's approaches.
II Brother Black had a great, compact
army, not threatened by anyone, in a
country separated from any and all 9th
ers that could possibly attack it, would
he, at the expense OF millions, set sentl'
nels to guard that army from distances
of one to two thousand miles? We

Here what Peter Cooper, who lived
to be over 80 years old and died worth
many millions, said of a newspaper: In
all towns where newspaper is published
every man should advertise in it, if moth
ing more than card stating his name
and the business he is in. 1t not only
pays the ADVERTISER, but it let's
the people at distance know that the
town in which you reside is a prosperous
community of business men. As the seed
is sown SO the seed recompenses. Never
pull down your sign while you expect to
do business.
