COLORADO INDUSTRIES.
Results of the Interstate Commerce
Comm mission Meeting at Denver.

Denver, Colo, April 27.--The railroads
have practically surrendered. The evil
dence placed before the interstate com
merce commission has been Of 30 con-
vincing character that the railroad
attorneys and officials themselves tacitly
admit the justice of the demands of Colo
RADIO manufacturers and jobbers, and in
some cases actually admit that there
should be more. encouragement given to
Colorado industries. What they are con-
tending for is that if lower through rates
be granted the rates to intermediate
points shall not necessarily be lowered
correspondingly, as would be the natural
result. The Colorado complainants are
generally willing to allow this exception,
since all they are demanding is that they
be put on an equal footing with Chicago
and other eastern points in reaching the
markets in the west, north and south.

OKLAHOMA SENSATION.
Prominent People Arrested Charged
with Murder and Robbery.

Guthrie, 0. T., April 27.-A big sensa-
tion was caused here by the arrest, late
last night, of w. H. Thorne, president Of
the leading investment company, and o.
@. Seeley, prominent contractor, on the
charge of numbering Frank Ledgers, a
young Englishman, whose body was
found in the river last September and
the cause of whose death remained
mystery until the English government
sent detective here few weeks ago.
Besides these two men, he has arrested
William Knowles, policeman, and Frank
Thorpe, negro porter of notorious
resort, all charged with being implicated
in the murder. On the body watch and
considerable loose change was found,
which allayed the suspicion of robbery,
but several thousand dollars which
Ledgers brought from England we're
never found. Thorne, whom he had
known in England, it is alleged by the
officials, wanted him out of the way to

TO CANVASS CHICAGO.
Chicago, Ill.-Canvassers have been
started out by the officers of the Honest
Money league who will ascertain the pro-
portion of free silver and sound money
men in Chicago. The canvassers will be
instructed to find out, If possible, what
proportion of tho houses canvassed have
Democratic voters and what number are
Republicans. The principal thing, how
ever, will be to find out whether or not
the resident favors the free coinage Of
silver. The canvass will be much the
same as made by the political parties,
with the exception that the business dis
trict will receive the first attention from
the men employed by the league to do the
work.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Washington.-The Evening Star says
that prominent politicians believe that
in the next few months the Republican
party will be found aligned for silver,
while the Democrats will be divided in
two distinct factions. This idea CONCERN
ing the probable disruption of the party
to which President Cleveland belongs is
fostered by the anxiety of Mississippi
valley states to hold free silver conven-
tions. Recent speeches of Senator Alli-
son and Ex-Presldent Harrison show that
Republicans are impressed with the
power the silver question will have in
national politics in the next campaign.
PALMER ADMITS DEFEAT.
Chicago, April 27.-The most sensa.
tionsl political development for many
day IN Chicago, if not in the entire west,
was made public this afternoon. The
coming Democratic state convention in
Illinois will, beyond all doubt, declare
for free silver without international
agreement of any kind, and the movement
is of such strength that the other western
and southern states will be prevented
with great difficulty, if at all, from follow
ing the lead of Illinois. As party, the
Democracy of Illinois is doomed to dis
organization. The authority for these
statements is John Mayo Palmer, cor
poration counsel of Chicago and the son
of United States Senator Palmer, who
has been leading the money fight for the
national administration in Illinois.

Why the Board of Educa ton Should Ask the City to Pay a Portion of Our City Taxes,

More than onca We have had occasion to call the attention ct members of the Board of Education to the fact that the children from the High school are constantly using our big grounds. on East Main street for a playground We think 1t Is a just GIiev- auce. and respectfully ask them 10 con- slider the matter at their neNt meeting. Ii Is damaging to our business, as people from out of town thlnk that our big bui3d- ing is either a college or high school, when they see the children playing on the grounds every day. Were 1t not for the magnificent display of Furniture, Carpets, etc, that We keep iu our window, the Peo- pie would be still more puzzled It Is painfully true thnt the female portion ot the teachers do not take kindly to mar riage yet 1t l. just As natural for them to drop into our big wareroomS to see thoSe Sl0.OO sideboards or Sl5 OO solid oak suits, as if they were to Oe married th" next day. Of course We accord them the same charm ing courtesy as If our dreams of the future were filled with Baby Carriages and Cradles, which are now ranging from SIPS to s 50 and up. But speaking of dreams reminds us of the story Of a gentleman whose blessed wife Was school teacher. She was so accustomed to "clll- ing the bows down" that she would get up in her sleep, and in loud voice tAclaim: Twill you behave yourself, sir. and mind your lesson '" He used to SAY that thlS was the only unpleasant feature about his married life.
