BIG SHOW IN DENVER
AN INTERNATIONAL MINING EXPOSE.
 TON PROJECTED FOR 1896.

Designed to Commemorate Two Great
 Historic Events and Demonstrate Gener-
 al Transmississippian Progress of
 the Interesting Features In Preparation.
 They arc getting ready to hold an in- rernational mining exposition in Den yer next year, and from all accounts ev- cry man, woman. child and dog in that beautiful Gem City of the mountains is bearing an active part in the prepara- tiOns.
 This exposition will be much more than q mere display of the mining re- sources of Colorado, for the products of all the mining states as well as those of Colorado will undoubtedly be well rep resented. Besides Mexico and South America have been invited to take part and have significd their intention of do ing so. Still further interest, in addition to that which so general a mining expo sitiOn should arouse, is given to the prof ect by the fact that it is to commemo- rate the close of the first century since the purchase of the Louisiana territory to show the progress of the transmits sissippi country ill its mining, agricul tural, educational, manufacturing, his torical and industrial advancement and to celebrate ColoradO's twentieth ami vcrSary as q state.
 The project was formulated ill March, and at q meeting held ill that month a board of 549 managers was created. These managers appointed an executive committee which perfected the incorpo-

ENueditinE the Mails.

TWurr three month ago, when appoint Cd pr- ttll~trr of this town, We mentioned the fact that the triwrrklv mails from
 Lone Jack. Pine Hill and Dog Creek reached this Iustnflirc in the most cratic manner and evidently at the convenience of the mail carrier. We promised to look into the matter aS soon as we got things in hand, and Inst Tuesday afternoon, as the Lono Jack mail, duo at II o'clock n.
 m, had not arrived at midaftCrnOon, WIG mounted our cayusr and set out to invcs- tigatr. Thi. route is carried on horseback,
 and the name of the carrier is SimmS. We found Mir. Simms luxuriously reclining under tree about four miles from town.
 He waS luXuriously drunk and sound asleep, while his old horse had shaken the mailbag off his back and was standing on it with his hind feet. Mr. Sinms Is a very sober man just now, but few doubt if he has any clear rumCmbrancc of q tenth part of what happened to him during the ten minutes following our arrival. All he can remember is being struck by cy- clone, which lifted him up and tossed him around and kicked him and tried to drive him into the earth. He was n hard man to wake up. but when he got his eyes open and began to realize tho situation he didn | waste much time getting on to his horse with his mailbag and heading for town. On his next trip he Cauc in an hour ahead of time, and We understand he intends to do even better than that. Somc day this week we shall look into the delay on other routes. For weeks past tho Pine Hill mail has been from six Ia ten hours late on Cv- | cry occasion, and We shall make great effort tu discover the cause and remove it. | It is our duty aa Puotmastrr to sec that the mails arrive and depart pn time, and We f,e'l quite certain that our manner of "rNprditing" the service will meet with the approval Uf both our fellow townsmcn and the postal authorities at Washington.

1Inde a Mistake,

Yesterday afternoon man named Fay Tor, who is the driver of a mule team in Colonel Frazer < outfit, entered the private banking institution of Shortwcll X White and wrote out a check for $50. As hc had no money on deposit the cashier of course refused to cash. Taylor then rolled up tho check, crowded it into the muzzlo of a gun, and resting the weapon on the cash. ier's window Inc declared he would shoot tho paper through Mir. Whites body if not promptly hOnorcd. There was n time in this town when that sort of game could bC worked, but that was years ago. Tho mulcwhacker had scarcely mado his bluff when Mir Shurtwoll had him in his grip, and he was disarmed, cholled, kicked and licked and dragged out doors inside of thrCo minutes. We arrived at tho conclu- sion of the fracaS and assisted Dr. Johnson to restore the man to consciousness and bandage and plaster him up so that We could hold an interview. The man hadn t much to say. He had come up here from the railroad wearing big hat, two guns long legged boots and a bowie knife, and some of his fellow drivers had told him | that he was genuine old fashioned terror and ought to dcmcan himself accordingly. | Ho decided to make a start by bluffing n | bank, and when we told him that he had l made dismal failure of 1t and might get | two or three years in prison on top of that
 he broke down and wopt like a child. He
 will be under the doctor care for the next
 two weeks, and at the end of that time
 will probably be allowed to limp out of
 town. He doesn't seem to be bad man
 at heart, but simply made mistake in l thinking Inc was a good bluffor. He has 1 relatives in New Mexico, and wo take this l method of informing them that hG will 1 probably survive his injuries but will look
 and act altogether different whom he again 1 appears in public M. Quad in Detroit | F,rne Press.

A GOOD TOWN FOR TITLED.
They All Bore One, Even Unto Colonel
 Jones.

Jones'
 was riding around town with Colcnel White when we were hailed from tho steps of a store by a man, and the colonel stop- ped his horse and introduced me to Cap tain Davids. After we moved on ho said:
 ''1f you meet the captain again, hell be sure to talk war, but he wasn't in it. He's simply blowhard"
 As We drove past tho postoflicc q man came out and waved a newspaper at the colonel and called to him to hold up We stopped, and the colonel introduced him as Major Taylor. After we left him the colonel said:
 "Hc's another of the same sort. He'll fill you up with army adventures, but he never saw a hattie or heard the sing of bullet.'
 Down at the oil mills, as We were turn ing around, some one cried ''Iello!" to the colonel, and man came up and was in l troduced as General Whitcomb. He had a decided military bearing, but when we had loft him behind the colonel said: "I'n give you n pointer on the general | too. He'll reel off army yarns by the rod, | and yet he never even had a uniform on |" We didn't meet with any moro heroes during the drive, but soon after our re- turn, and while sat on the hotel vcranda waiting for tho dinner bell, a gentlemen who had every appearance of having led Q brigade in n glorious charge to victory came up and introduced himself as Gencr- al Patton and added:
 1T saw you out riding with Colonel White a bit ago." "Tcs, he drove mo around town.'' Good fellow, the colonel, but an awful buffer; was never even sworn into the service, and yet he'll toll you how he was | shot all to pieces and left for dead at Cedar Creek"
 The general talked for n few minutes and then excused himself, and went | in to dinner the landlord met mo with a smile and wink and whispercd:
 "I saw the general out thcrc filling you up. He was in Europe all through the war and has no right to the titlc!"
 My friend" I said lis there q captain, colonel major or general in this town who was actually in the war and fairly won his title?'
 "Only one-just onc," he blandly It. piled.
 And that man"-
 "I'm the one! Yes, I'm Colonel Jones, at your scrvicc!'
 had to leave town directly after din ncr, but on the train fell in with a man and happened to speak of Colonel Jones to him, and he exclaimed:
 "Colonrl Jones? Colonel Jones? Why, sah, that man wasn't l5 years old when General Lee surrcndcrcdr' AUSTIN KEESE.

ems don't carc what or who he is, he is just Bob t. them. There is a broad of mothcTIrsS chicks who are seldom away from him if they can help it. When he lies down, tIcy climb upon his back, which Is so broad as to resemble the big, fiat pad on the back of a circus horse. They crawl upon his head and peek at his cars. He does not shake them of, however, aS most dogs would.
 When Bob walks around the yard, the little chicks hang on for all they arc worth, and when he lies down they all nestle ill near his paws In this position dog and chicks remain motinnlcss for hours at a time. The mothcrlcSs little brood of chicks are getting to be big fel lows now, but they have not yet any idea, 1t S,vInS, of GcsCrting their queer foster father.
 A new brood of younger chicks have come into the yard within few days, and they, too. are learning to climb up on Bub'S woolly back, and to peek at his t.nguc and nose, all of which seems to tickle the cid fellow very much. IL is astonishing to scr how careful Bob is when his little adopted children arc talk ing an afternoon ride on his back.

 The mayor of this town (vvho is OurselO had long and fathcrly talk with the man agrr of an "Cnclc Toms Cabin" troop billed to play at Modoc hall last Wcdncs- day evening When we understood from him that there was no Hamlet or grave digging or skull in the play, no high kick ing, jig dancing or sCrapling; that iEt hero was not swept over Niagara falls oT the heroine carried of by Indians We ad visCd him to 20 on tu the next town aLd takc no risks. He listened to u; in Il rr spCctful way, but refused to believe that we knew the idioms of the pcoplr hvltvr than Inc did. We issued his license with sorrow in our heart. At an early hour Wednesday evening the hall began to i'll up. Somc of the audience had two guns, some only one. As far aS outward appear anCcS went, everything was serene, and the goose hung high, but tho smiling and urhano manager had a surprise in store for him. Tho crowd gave the play fair shOw-that iS, everybody Sat quiet through half of the first act and let things develop. When il was realized that thCrJ was nnth- ing in the play but Uncle Tom and Little Eva and few negroes, and couple of dogs and monkey, the shooting began. The kerosene lamps, the s,'rrrry, the cril Ing the acturs--almU~t everything and CV erybody-wrrr made targets of, and in five minutes the hall WaS empty and the actors flying for their lives through tho sagrhru>h. Most of them spent the night outdoors, and they were n sad and discon- solatr lot as they got together and left town next day. It has happened so before and probably will again.

EDITORS BULLETlN:-After a lin
gering illness of many weeks, Mr..
George Elder died on the oath of
last month and was buried in the
Bradford graveyard. He was con-
sistent member of the New Union
Baptist Church. A wife and four
children survive him.
J. E. Conner and L. L. McCarley
have returned from the lakes where
they spent several days shooting
wild geese, fishing and hunting and
having a fine time generally. A
cat fish, weighing 35 pounds, was
brought back by them, and the
delectable meat was feast to the
participants. The squire is of the
opinion that if his outings to the
lakes were more frequent, he would
probably have bay window equal
to some of the 200 Founders in this
section of the country.
With us the farmers are all hap
ply, caused by the increase in the
price of cotton, which shows that
those who claimed that five cent
cotton was caused by the apprecia-
ton of gold were as much in error
as the originators of the subtreas-
ury plan. We have enough corn to
do us and most of the farmers have
a plenty of hogs to make their meat,
and as our good wives have made a
sufficient amount of jeans to wrap
us up in, there is not much dan
ger of us either freezing or starving.
We are thankful to our Creator
that there is no sickness in our
neighborhood.
