ties in New Orleans and the Yelled
Prophets parade IN st. Louis brought
annually thousands of dollars into those
cities from visitors, and that were Pue-
bio to inaugurate the same plan the
city would be beautifully advertised.
Mass meetings were held TO consider the
subject, and there Harvey made his first
attempts at public debating. The Pue-
bio citizens contributed quite literally,
leaving to Harvey and his returned mis-
sionary boom writers all the details OF
the affair. Excursion trains Were planned
to run from Chicago, st. Louis, Denver
and San Francisco, beautiful htho-
graphed posters were printed, magnifi-
cent floats were suggested, and the citi-
Gems declared a holiday week for the
event.
Somehow the eastern people were no
hungry for Mardi Gras festivals, and
the excursions from without the state
failed to materialize. Harvey found in
Denver d king Rex" and n Queen
Rex" who appeared with a retinue of
servants late one evening in great mys-
terry at the principal hotel of that city.
''What does all this foolishness mean?"
was asked, but Harvey said Mystery
is desirable, my boy. Keep your eye ON
us.
For two days liking Rex" and
Queen Rex" lived like real monarchs
in Denver, their expensive retinue OF
servants eating rapidly into the subscrip-
ton fund furnished by the people OF
Pueblo. Then the special train went to
Pueblo with the ruler of the carnival
and people who had received free passes.
Arriving in the city, q street parade was
formed, but the floats failed to material
ize, and all that appeared was a string
of delivery wagons of local merchants.
The night pageant proved still greater
failure. king Rex, now seriously in
disposed by his several days of reyelry,
had to be held steady upon his triumphal
car, and the wicked driver toward the
end Of the procession turned Town IA dark
alley, unhitched his horses and drove
off, leaving king Rex" slumbering
peacefully upon his high perch. What
became of Queen. Rex" no n evel
knew.
This fasco disguised the citizens and
reduced their faith in Harvey. His sub.
sequent magnificent conceptions were
frowned upon with one exception. Har

COIN WHEN A BOOMER
w. II. HARvEY'S ATTEMPT TO MAKE
PUEBLO A METROPOLIS.

How He Tried to Boom City and Suburban
Real Estate In C~olorado-His Mardi
Gras Festival and Mineral Palace-His
Advertising Methods.
1t has only recently dawned upon the
minds of the residents of Pueblo that
W. II. Harvey, author of COINS FL
nancial School" once lived there. 1t is
hard for the old timers to believe that
the real estate boomer who turned this
quiet town topsy turvy FOR a time is the
author of the book which has become
famous.
Harvey made his headquarters at TIE
Grand hotel and kept his office IA hS
hat most of the time. He went with the
first overflow of Kansas real estate
boomers who had swung things so
brisk,y in Kansas City, Wichita and
later in interior Kansas towns. Harvey
wanted a fund of money subscribed to
defray the expenses of two boom wri-
tiers, whom he proposed TO send into the
eastern states with casters, billboard
literature and ready made interviews
for u~nsuspecting newspapers to publish,
and hy these several means to advertise
the merits of the great future metropo-
lis of the Rocky mountain district. He
secured a fund of $50, 900 for his pur-
pose, and the missionaries started off.
A brass band and a street parade sig
nailed their departure. They stuck thou
sands of blue pastors bearing the word
Pueblo" upon freight cars, hotel reg
listers, sidewalks and ever upon vehicles
standing in the streets. They pasted big
sheets upon bare walls, distributed
boom editions Of the local papers and
occasionally managed to be interviewed.
They were heard of in several eastern
cities, but IL was not observed that the
influx of strangers seeking Pueblo real
estate was materially augmented by the
missionary scheme.
Meanwhile Harvey had secured pos
session Of a great tract Of adobe uplands
several miles east Of the city, worthless
as grazing or farming land, but valua-
BILE as q basis for boom real estate pur-
poses. The land was marketable at
about 50 AN acre when he made his first
payment upon it. He had the ground
plotted, and beautiful charts were
printed showing how delightful it would
be as suburban property when improved.
He let contracts for landscape garden

the city to the land and several natural

buyers through mail correspondence.

THE TOPIC OF THE HOUR.

Within the past year, and espec-
tally within the past six months
finance has taken, as a topic of
press discussion, the place occupied
for several years past by the tariff
Contradictory and irreconcilable as
are the positions, complex and con-
fused as are the arguments of the
political parties and leaders of the
country upon the tariff question,
they are no less so upon the ques.
ton of finance. The great political
problem of the day in the United
States is the problem of reforming
the National currency. The man
or woman who pretends to be well
informed will not be content to
learn the views of a few news pa
pers only upon the financial and
other ques ions of the hour, but will
seek in some way to get a press
discussion in all parts of the coun-
try and upon all sides of the ques-
tons at issue. There is no way to
get such a survey except by read

and condensed statements from all
the leading representative papers

HOW A GREAT STORY WAS WRITTEN

HOW A GREAT STORY WAS WRITTEN,
Tie history of any great and
successful undertaking is always
interesting, therefore at the risk of
being accused of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers Of
a famous story of the late war.
The publishers of the Chicago
Ledger wanted story which be-
sides being love story of great
merit, should wildly describe the
thrilling events Of the battle Of
Gettysburg and the siege OF Rich
mond. One author after another
failed in the work, and at last the
famous st. George Ruthburne was
approached on the subject. He de-
manded fabulous price for the
work, but 1t was pa d and the story
was actually written to order. 1t is,
however, printed under the pen
name of "Hugh Allen" 1t is de-
cIared by critics who have been
shown the advance sheets to be the
best story of the war ever written.
The first instalment of it appeared
i'm No. 3. Vol. xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention. A private letter from
the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people the
publishers of the Ledger will mail
the opening chapters OF the story
free Of charge to all that send in
their names at once The Ledger is
"a great paper and each week gives
story matter enough to make a dol
lar book. Address The Chicago
Ledger, Chicago Illinois.

There is no question about the fitness
OF men to vote, although the political
scandals that have disgraCed the ma
tion imply that there has been an aw-
full lack of fitness among those who
have controlled the destiny of the ma

men have known enough to vote for

themselves bad government, corrupt
officials and increased taxation.

that the intelligent voter has been the

The Abilene Reflector, reporting the
proceedings of the local POpdlist con-
Vention to elect delegates to the judi
cisl convention held at Junction City,
September 21, runs in the old gag
about lack Of interest, small attend
ance, etc., to indicate the collapse of
P0pulism. In another column Of the
same paper is report of the meeting
Of the local republican central COM
mittee at which o. L. Moore, the local
candidate for judge, was authorized
to select his own delegates to the re-
publican judicial convention. How
ever small may have been the attend
ance at the Populist convention the
fact remains that the people were sf-
torded the opportunity to name their
delegates, while the republican COM
mittee conferred the power to name
delegates upon the man who assumes
to be the candidate Of the party.
Under this method of manipulating
the machine the people are not sin it,

men Is illustrated at every session

noble red man, Congressman Curtis, is
a case In point. The stuff he unloaded
during his first session, on the subjects
of currency and tariff, is enough to
make the average school boy blush
with shame. But the average school
boy will not get to be a congressman
unless he quits studying those subjects
and deVotes his time to learning ma
