Roberts was confirmed by the senate as consul general at Capetown, South Africa. Probably the genial gentlemen will leave before another issue of THE OASIS.

The sold,er., Home,

Denver Jan. 20.-President Root of
the board of commissioners Of the Sol
diers' and Sailors Home stated this
morning that the talk concerning the
closing down of the home on account
of the recent decision of the Supreme
Court was entirely without foundation,
and that the home would run for the
next six months without difficulty. The
only Indebtedness outstanding owed by
the home Is for the months Of Septem-
ber and October Of last year. and this
will probably be paid some time next
August.
Mr.. Root says the auditor will issue
warrants regularly for the next six
months in payment of the regular bills
OF the home, and thereafter, unless
some Unforeseen contingency in the af-
fairs Of the state should arise. The
home receives annually from the United
States government the sum Of 800
apiece for the inmates and this greatly
aids in the maintenance Of the mstitu-
ton.

The Ins...o.s KING.

Apropos Of the queens devotion to her hus-
band, a little anecdote is told which ! be-
lIeve to be perfectly true. The locks Of King
Humbert, be 1t told, were formerly as black
as a ravens wing. and the pride Of his
charming consort's heart. Almost suddenly
these locks turned white, and the queen, like
the fond wife she Is, quite fretted over the
fact. A certain little dellcacy Of feeling pre-
vented her from referring to the matter with
her husband. So. without saying a word,
she purchas sed bottle of black hair dye. and
one morning placed 1t on the kings dressing
table.
The day wore on, and King Humbert ap-
peared at luncheon. as usual, with his own
white hair. greatly to the queens secret dis.

A FINE HOSPITAL.
Bulit for the Use of santa Fe Railroad
Employer


In few days the largest and most
complete railway hospital In the West
will be formally opened at Topeka,
Kansas. The structure Is the finest in
what is everywhere acknowledged as
the best hospital system of any rail-
road in the United States, and 1t will
be exclusively used by injured and
sick employees of the Santa Fe system.
The building has just been COM
pleted at a cost of $125OOO. The lower
half Is built of Colorado sandstone
and the upper Of red pressed brick
1t Is located in Il quiet portion Of To-
peka and Is surrounded by spacious
grounds. Its seventy-two rooms are
furnished with all modern conyen-
fences and will be heated and ventl-
lated by the hot-blast system. An cleo
trio system will automatically con-
troll and regulate the heat of the wards,
thus fnsuring an even temperature
and constant change of air In the
severest weather.
In the main structure are found the
dispensary and the operating rooms,
the offices of the association and Of the
chief surgeons and assistants, while
the wards occupy the rear wings. The
dispensary is complete drug store,
without the Kansas feature, and is in
charge of registered pharmacist, who
Will fill the prescriptions given to the
employees by the cOmpany's physicians.
! The hospital is in charge of the San
tn Fe Hospital association, which was
chartered under the laws of Kansas
In 1891. Its object is to provide medi-
cal and surgical treatment and care
for the injured and sick employees of
the road. Its board of trustees con-
sists Of the general manager. general
solicitor and chief surgeon of the road
and two employees of the company. At
present the association is operating
n small hospital Mt Ottawa, Kansas,
and larger ones Mt La Junta and Las
Vegas, which will all be continued.
Every employe of the company is
assessed monthly for the mainten-
ance Of the association. Those earn
ing $50 or less contribute % cents each
month; between $50 and 500 35 cents;
between 500 and 800, 80 cents; over
$780, 81 month.
From these small assessments has
been built up handsome fund, out Of
which the present building was paid
for, and which will continue system
of service which is at once econom-
ical and highly beneficial to the em-
ployes

STATE CANAL NO. !.
Its Cosstructioa to BE Proceeded with
Through the Issue Of Water ecrip.


Its Ceastructioa to BE Proceeded with
Through the Issue of Water tcrtp.
Denver, Jan. 2O.-Construction work
ON State Canal No. l. Is to be proceeded
with at once on the plan devised at
Fridays meeting of the State Peniten-
tiary commissioners, held In Governor
McIntire's office, by which 1t was
cent. interest In payment for assis-
tance in completing the canal. The
proposition put forward by the COM
missloners was considered yesterday
by Governor McIntire and Attorney
General Carr, and approved after hav-
ing been slightly amended.
Acting under the governors in
structions the attorney general has
written the penitentiary commission
ers. telling them to push the canal
work as soon as enough of the water
certificates have been taken up to war
rant the success of their plans. 1t Is
probable that before the job Is half
finished the remainder of it will be
taken out of the hands Of the state.
A syndicate of capitalists now stands
ready to purchase the canal outright,
and in all likelihood the deal will be
closed by the time the next Legislature
meets. OF course the sale would have
to be provided for by an act Of the
Legislature.
An act passed in 1898 created a
board OF control of the canal, Of
which the governor is Il member. In
providing this body with the means of
carrying on the work the act of 1893
carried with it the idea of an issuance
of certificates Of Indebtedness. The
board was also given charge Of the
canal from a point about three miles
west Of the penitentiary, while all east
of that was left to the penitentiary
commissioners. This appointment
originated the belief that convict lab
or could not be used on the west side
of the dividing line. Governor Mc1n-
tire and Attorney General Carr have
taken issue with this theory, and
decided that 1t need not of necessity
be put into practice.
The most important deviation made
by the governor and attorney general
from the system devised by the peni
tentiary commissioners is that nothing
but cash subscriptions shall be paid
for the water scrip. Offers of labor
teams, etc, had been made by the com
missioners by people owning property
on the line of the canal, and they had
decided to close with them. The gov
ernOr and attorney general say II
would be disadvantageous to accept Ia
Dor in return for the scrip, and so Gen
eral Carr yesterday afternoon instruct
ed the penitentiary commissioners moi
to exchange their water certificates fol
anything but cash.
