dinners that he is serving at his
hotels. He has control OF both the
Windsor and the Commercial Hotels,
and is doing all the business OF the
town. The menu contains all that
any hungry individual could care for
and shows oysters, fish, tongue, chick
en-, turkey, roast beef, vegetables and
pastry without end. From travelling
men we learn that the Colonel is man
aging his hotels right up to the most
exactlng demands. Some OF these
days we are going to drop down and
find out just what he is doing.
"A very philanthropic individual
went through the town the other day
selling q small box Of soap for 81 90
aud throwing in a fine char, lamp or
ones choice from long list of arti-
Giles. Several ladies bought the soap,
some stuff that will not lather in eth
or soft or hard water, and are now
waiting for the premium that will
never come. Most of the dear souls
took a chair for hubby, and tried to
keep the matter quiet, so as to spring
a surprise along about Christmas, but
the story leaked out and the brutes
are all saying 81 told you SO" forget
ting how many times some Of these
same wise Solomon's had bit at other
soap fakes Other towns too have
been victimzed by this same game,
"A serious accident happened to
Office Bise Tuesday. AS he and
Frank Woods we're going out into the
country, the team they were driving
ran a way, and going over high
crossing bounced the boys out, Bise
falling so as to have the wagon pass
over his right leg, breaking the bone
in two places. lie was carried into
lockers restaurant where Drs. Wal
lace and Fisher reduced the fracture
and was taken out to his fathers, on
, the Hahnenkratt place east of town.
This accident is an especially unfor-
tunate one, as Mr., Bise's family had
arranged to leave here about the 18th
; and go to Georgia. Frank Woods
; WAS somewhat shook up but not SER
iously damaged, The team was stop
3 ped north of town unhurt.
Quite a number of our people
have been out to Denver where they
visited man who either is one Of the
Q grandest humbugs in the world, or is
: doing a work for suffering humanity
: that has never been equalled on earth
= but once before Among those who
have been operated upon, il operated
is the right word, are Scott Handy.
j. D. Couch, Jacob Close, Theo
. Close, r A. Handy, Mrs. Theodore
Smith, Mrs. Stinson, Mrs. Close, Mrs
Tooker, and Mrs, Stretton and
daughter, all of whom claim to have
q benefited by the "healer". In con.
] versation with j. d. Couch, who has
3 been afflicted with deafness since
i childhood, we learn that thousands
have been relieved of some trouble
: and his experiences are about the
I same as that OF others, Visitors are
required to get into line aud pass be-
fore the healer, who takes them by
. the hand and looking into their eyes
for about one half minute, then look
ing upward, he utters a silent prayer
, and the patient gives way to the mex
sufferer. Mr.. Couch was in line some
i. seven hours, and asked the healer
! "How long will it be before ca1
hear" receiving for an answer: "Ac-
cording to your faith will you be heal
. ed" Mr.. Couch says that he can now
J hear almost perfectly, and we must
8 confess that he hears much better thar
t before. For all the labor he is per.
forming for the afflicted the Healer
/. receives no pay, but claims to do the
work because be is commanded to do
! so by the Father. The Denver papers
: tell of some wonderful cures. Ia adj
dition to personal visitations many
people are wearing handkerchiefs that
have been blessed" by the healer and
e some claim to have found relief
through this method.
