BESSEMER HAS THE EARTH.
A Reply as to What the City has tt
Show in the way Of improvements.

What has Bessemer to show for an
annual expenditure of say $4,000 for
running the city government, is a ques-
tion asked now and then by an oc-
casiunal advocate of consolidation.
Well. friends. answering it Yankee
fashion, what hasn't it to show In
these times town to be strickly in it
and to put on metropolitan airs must
be equipped with all the modern i'm
provements which consist mainly in a
town of . 900 to 10000 inhabitants, of
street cars, electric lights and water
works with the other sources Of con
vcnieucc and protection, and Bessemei
has all these and more
Considering the immense area of
territory covered this city is one of the
best lighted in the west today and by
system tina, is first-elass in every re
spect.
It's street car system is second to
none in the state, the Pueblo City Ry.
Co. giving the town most excellent
service and is now engaged in laying a
new line direct to lake Minnequa, that
beautiful resort which is part of the
city proper
Its water works permeate every part
OF the city, and the company stands
ready at all times TO branch out into
any new addition.
1t has city hall which would be a
credit TO town three times the size,
equipped with all the necessary offices,
a splendid jail and room for fire de
partment
1t created and maintains all the
officers required in a city Of the second
class
1t has the best volunteer fire depart
ment in the state
1t has a first class police force.
1t is now making all the necessary
preparation for paid fire department
and there will be but little increase in
taxes to get it.
1t will submit to the people the
proposition at the April election to
vote S3j. 900 sewer bonds, which il
carried will complete the public I'M
provements necessary for years TO come
1t has the best of streets and $40.
600 viaduct, the only one really nee

age And what Of her tremendous
public debt of S5s0,O00 exclusive of
the north side water bondsy Just com
pare the public debt of the two cities
and the conyeniences Of each and see
wherein Bessemer is behind.
Bessemer is infinitely better ef as
it is aud if vote be taken next Tues
day the people will prove beyond
the shadow of a doubt that they are
satisfied with their town as 1t is and
and cannot be bullied nor coaxed into
annexation.

A Cyclone.

Tuesday afternoon between 8 and A
O'Clock small sized cyclone struck the
eastern portion of the steel works and
tumbled down twelve smoke stacks.
The whirlwind was seen approaching
several seconds before it struck, but as
severe whirlwinds or cyclones are
strangers 10 these parts the men at
work paid no attention to it until ii
struck. Then there was confusion for
few minutes, the falling smoke
stacks tumbling down amid a confusion
of noise, dust and smoke scattering the
men in that vicinity IN all directions.
No one was seriously injured and the
damage to the huge pipes was slight.
though the accident will delay the
starting up of the works several days.

sousA's GREAT HANp.

\ musical treat of the rarest
character is about to be offered to
the music lovers Of this vicinity by
John Philip Sousa, who will appear
at the Grand opera house for two
concerts, afternoon and evening,
next Wednesday, March IA, with his
grand concert band of so pieces.
Everybody will recall with pleasure
the visit of Mr.. Sousa here two years
ago at the head of the U. S. Marine
band and the grand popular success
which attended that occasion. The
abilities OF Mr.. Sucsa as great
musical director were made ap-
parent at that time. Following that
successful tour, upon which Mr..
Sousa made tremendous personal
hit everywhere, he was induced to
resign his government position to
organize and conduct band of his
own which should be without an
equal on either side of the water.
Mr.. Sousa will also bring with
him splendid lady soprano, Miss
tnez hecusker, who is good classic
artist, as well as one of the most
successful of ballad singers.

THOSE works OF Sir Henry Layard
describing his excavations and dis
coveries on the site OF ancient Min
eveh, many years ago, which awak-
ened so much interest, have been in
good degree supplanted in public at
tenton by those which have since
followed. There are many yet, how
ever, TO remember what a new light
seemed rising over those far Eastern
lands, so long in the twilight OF mere
tradition. as these works of Layard
appeared. News now comes OF his
death as the age OF II, having been
born In 1917. His explorations on
the Tigris began when he was as yet
but young man, only b years of
age. Subsequent To his career as an
explorer, Mr. Layard entered the
public service as "A member of Parlia-
ment, so continuing from 1852 TO
1860. He then accepted the post OF
British Envoy at Madrid, and later OF
Ambassador of Constantinople. The
treaty In which Great Britain gained
possession OF the Island Of Cyprus was
negotiated 10y n m. He will be known
In future times, however, as one of
those by whom that work was begun
in the valley OF the Euphrates and
Tigris, by means OF which such treas
ures OF testimony have been found
among buried remains OF ancient
cities.

THE declination by Mr. Gladstone
OF the invitation 10y representative
men OF this country 10 visit America
is not unexpected 1t is none the
less matter Of regret 1t is rather
remarkable that SO few representa-
tive men Of any OF the European
countries have visited the United
States, and still more remarkable, in
view OF the improved conditions con
nected with transportation, that
fewer OF the class referred TO have
visited America than when the con-
ditions OF travel were otherwise. The
Columbian exposition OF ls93 failed
TO bring TO these shores the men OF
