HOW THEY DO IN DENVER.
Interesting Details of Their Prepare
tions for the Fall Festival
[From the Denver Republican.


Most encouraging reports on the way
in which subscriptions are being
pledged to the Festival of Mountain
and Plain are being made by the So
Letting committee. Yesterday the fol-
lowing subscriptions were turned in at
the headquarters in the Cooper build

tention to join in the festival doings;
Is of these propose to enter the band
contest, while the remainder will be at
the disposal of the committee.
A number of the large mine owners,
such as the Little Johnny management,
have promised Secretary Mcnamara
that they will send floats representing
their different mines.
Yesterdays reports show the pros
pect of getting the United States troops
from the department of the Colorado
and the department of the Platte to
take part in the military parade to be
most encouraging.
One feature has been added to the
programme which will greatly interest
all patrons of the Mountain and Plain
feast. A band of rs Navajo braves are
to give an exhibition of the weird fire
dance" of their tribe. It is said to be
most unique and impressfng spectacle.
Navajo BilP' Wallace yesterday

James Cullen Of Minneapolis,
Killed in a Turkish Bath.
His Body Was Literally Baked
By the Heat.
CARELESS ATTENDANT
Left the Unfortunate Man I'm
attended Too Long.
The Skin Was Peeled Of His
Body.

Minneapolis, Sept 1.-The body of
James Cullen presents a horrible APP
pearance as it reposes on a marble
slab at the county morgue today and
seems to indicate a most horrible death.
The skin has peeled off the body in a
large numebr of places, exposing the
bare flesh to view. On the chest there
are patches several inches in area de-
nuded of cuticIe and the body as a
whole presents an aspect SINH
lar to that of bodies of the men
burned to death in the fire on Wash
fngton avenue this week, with the
exception that it is not dfscolored. It
looks more as though it had been boil
ed.
The friends of the deceased believe
that the proper care was not given to
him last night, and, being intoxicated
when he went into the hot room, the
heat overcame him and that he was
literally cooked to death.
A call at the Guaranty loan bath
rooms revealed the fact that Cullen
came in there considerably after mid
night, intoxicated. He was turned over
to an operator named lockwood who
could not be seen this morning. The
manager stated that Cullen was in the
warm room about 20 minutes when he
was discovered to be dead. He was
taken out of this room and the coroner
summoned. He was then taken to the
county morgue. Those who handled
as they endeavored to raise the body.
Inquiry at the bathrooms revealed
the fact that the warm rooms are heat
ed to a certain degree and then regula-
ted by the door. 1t is thought that the
door of Cullens room had accidentally
closed and was not discovered until he
had succumbed
Drs. Ringnen and Nye, assisted by
DR.. VOnderhOrck, conducted the post
mOrtem examination. Their unofficial
opinion was that death had been caus-
ed by suffOcation. An examination of
the heart showed it. to be in good con-
ditiOn and death could not have been
caused by heart disease, as at first re-
ported The examination of the brain
revealed that it was in normal condi-
fected and the stomach will be sub
jected to a chemical analysis.
The cause of the skin peeling off was
undoubtedly the intense heat-temper-
allure so high that when Jack WEIGH
of the county morgue, tried to lift the
corpse some time after it was taken
from the warm room that the heat
could hardly be borne on his hands.
An assistant who was asleep at the
time of the finding of the body stated
that he assisted to bring the body from
the room which was then heated to
about lao degrees. The door was open
when he got there.
The friends of the deceased believe
that some one has been criminally
negligent and they will do all in their
power to place the responsibility.
MI Cullen was a man of excellent
physique, weighing close onto 200
pounds, and was about six feet tall

me. do not want to go to a silver

'They say you will get relief through
the Republican party At the conVen-
ton IN St Louis that party voted down
all the measures that were proposed
for relief. I left the convention. Do
you suppose I would have left that or
ganizat1on if I could have obtained re-
lief through that party? It is said that

paramount one? Can we not lay aside

perior, Mr.. Blaine not excepted. Some
say he has spoken diSrespectfully of

is not a word of disrespect to the su-
preme court. 1t is merely a statement
of the statistic principle. remember
how Abraham Lincoln criticised the
supreme court on the bred Scott decis-
ion. (Cheers.) have heard the su-
preme court severely arraigned in
congress. The end of this government
is near when we cannot criticise that
which we think wrong, even the SUI
preme court -
The speaker next discussed some
features of the income tax and its con-
stitutionality. At its conclusion he
again touched on the Republican party
and the silver question in general
terms.
This question is not one of dollars"
he said, lit is q question of the world.
Do you believe that by the destruction
of one-half of the money of the world,
for that is what this issue means, we
shall prosper? Do you believe that all
of prosperity and happiness? I believe
that free coinage of silver is the only
remedy. Ask the Republican party for
its remedy. 1t has nOne.I can hardly
endure the thought that we must suffer
four years more of gold. Let us try
this plan alone. Let us see If we can
not have this money system alone. In
Lincoln's words I say, let us trust the
great American people. Let US dc this
without Wall street without Lombard
street, for you are the people,"
At the conclusion of Senator Teller's
speech. ex-senator Reagan of Texas
made a short address on silver.

BANNING THE RIO GRANDE.
Mexico and the o. S. to Construct an
Immense Reservoir.

Denver. Sept. Yesterday morning
two civil engineers representing the
governments of the United States and
Mexico called on Gov. McIntire for the
purpose of procuring data on the var
ious irrigation projects SO far accom-
plished in Colorado The facts they
obtained are to be used in connection
with the construction of an internatiOn-
al dam across the Rio Grande river at
a point four miles above Ell PaSO. Tex.
Some months ago the two republics
agreed on a plan by which the arid land
on both sides of the United States Mex
leo lire in the vicinity of FL Paso might
be brought under cultivation.
Joint commission of civil engineers
was appointed by both governments to
go over the ground and draft plan for
damming the river and storing its wa
ters in gigantic reservoir
This commission consisted of six
Mexicans and two Americans. Captain
Derby of New Orleans was made chief
his assistant is Engineer w. w. Fol-
lett. J. Ramori de Ybarolla is chief Of
the Mexican commission, and his first
assistant is Alberto Flores.
Senior Flores registered at the Brown
Palace hotel last evening. He talked
freely about the work the joint commits
sion has already done
We have been in FL Paso about
three months" he said, but did not
commence actual work until about a
month ago The people around there
are delighted over the prospect of
soon having water enough to irrigate
their arid lands.
I'VE calculate that the dam to be
built across the river viii cost $500 OOO
Then we will have to move the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroad tracks
at an expense of $780, 900. The tracks
of the Santa Fe must be moved for a
distance of about u miles, and the
Southern Pacific a distance of eight
miles.
You see the river flows by Ell Paso
from the northwest Four miles or so
above the city there is a canon through
which the Rio Grande runs At a
point in this canon where the river is
only 700 feet wide we are going to build
an immense dam. so stout that it can
almost be guaranteed to stand until the
end of time. Right above that dam
opens a valley SO formed that it is q
natural reservoir, and here will be
stored the water of the river. Our
plans contemplate a reservoir IS miles
long and four miles across at it's widest
