CRIPPLE CREEK.

John Diem, Park City's harness
sna.ker, returned yesterday from
Cripple Creek, Colo. whittier he went
last week on an observation tour. Mr..
Diem has many pleasant things to say
of Colorado's great gold camp. No less
than 49, paying mines are now Icing
worked. many of course with but a
small force Of men as they are com
paratively undeveIoped as yet. The
great Independence mine Of the STRAIT
tons. has made its owners multo-mil-
uouaires. The Grace Greenan group,
inst south of the city is a paying
proposition. Though the shaft is down
only 100 feet yet it has paid from the
start Mr. Diem brought home speci-
mems from different mines there, all
running way up in gold. The silvonite
ore taken from the Grace Greenan
runs from SIS to S125 per ton. The
estimated population Of Cripple Creek
at present is about $4,000; including the
district, 10000 The city has three
business streets adorned with from
one to six-story brick and stone bust
ness blocks, and not a shop or store
room vacant. The Colorado Midland
and Florence & Cripple Creek railroads
have all the freight and passenger
traffic they can handle. The Florence
& Cripple Creek railway nalL
the cost of its construction three
months after completion. The Midland
is building a fine depot building and in
excavating a fifteen foot embankment
for a foundation a two foot vein OF
ore was discovered, running high in
gold. It is Mr. Diem's intention to
close out his business here and open
I'D a similar business there.

FROM HAZELT0N.

The interest in politics at Hazelton is
still on the increase. AT the Bryan and
SewalI club meeting Saturday night
they had four speeches. The first was
by George Allen, and it is not saying
too much to say that George surprised
every one there. He spoke from man
uscript, but made some telling hits and
some of his points were of that kind
that we doubt very much if any gold
bug can refute. With little practice
Mr.. Allen would makea splendid talk
er. He was followed by J. McMilllon.
John had not expected to make talk,
and was wholly unprepared, but was
not built on the plan of saying no and
made very good talk of about fifteen
minutes. He spoke in very mild
manner but made use of some very fine
illustrations, which were so plain that
even goldbug could with one eye shut
understand them-if he was seeking
light. John was followed by w. G. AL
ford, who talked off hand for about half
an hour, after which S. n. Loudan per-
haps ore of the best posted men on po-
litical history in Barber county, made
very interesting talk. Mr.. Loudan
can start at the birth of the republican
party and tell its history from that time
to the present, and don't need any
written memoranda to assist him. Mr..
Loudan was lighting the g. o. p. when
most of us we're children, and he is still
at it with all his power. If we had a
few more like him to put ON the stump
during this campaign there would be a
wonderful falling off in the republican
vote in November, but as to that mat
ter the loss in votes is going to be more
than they can stand anyway. Hazelton
has started in to make record and es-
tablish precedent for the regulation
of future elections. We are making
our arrangements to make the vote two
to one for Bryan and Sewall, and may
conclude to even do little better than
that before we let up, for be 1t remem-
bered that we have not sent out any
regular missionary yet, and when we
do 1t will be to gather in what few are
halting between right and wrong and
inclining to right. CITIZEN.

THE w. C. T. U. CONVENTION.

The annual county convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
which was held in Sharon last Thurs
day was a gratifying success. The
program was excellent and much ear
neStness was manifested in all papers

Der county who are in sympathy with
the W. G. L. U. are emphatic in their
wish to retain the present prohibition
law.

year were: President, Mrs. E .C.Sherk,
Sharon; vice president, Mrs. Lockard,
Sharon: secretary, Miss Matte Thayer,
Medicine Lodge; treasurer. Mrs. j. S.

Health and strength carry us through
dangers and make US safe in the pres
ence of peril. A perfectly strong man
with rich, pure blood, has nothing to
fear from germs. He may breathe in
the bacillI of consumption with impun-
ity. If there is weak spot where the
germs may find an entrance to the tbs.
sues. then the trouble begins. Disease
germs propagate with lightning-like
rapidiry. Once in the blood, the only
way to get rid of them is to kill them.
This is what DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is for. 1t pnrifies the
blood. That means that 1t kills the
germs, but that is only part of what it
does. It assists digestion by stimulat-
ing the secretion of digestive fluids, so
promoting assimilation and nutrition;
purifies and enriches the blood and 80
supplies the tissues with the food they
need. 1t builds up strong, healthy flesh
and puts the whole body into disease
resisting state.

A FORMER BARBER CITIZEN DEAD.

Last Friday morning Sheriff Mills re-
ceived telegram stating that his faith
er, w. c.. Mills, was dead. Tonk had
been visiting with his father 10 Texas
until Wednesday of last week and left
his father In good health and the news
of his death so soon after returning
home was surprise as we'll rs severe
shock. Sheriff Mills and brother, Co
van, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Wilkins
and family left for the Mills ranch in
Texas on Friday morning.
Uncle Billy" as he was commonly
known, was one of the OLD settlers of
Barber county in former DAYS and he
leaves large number of friends here
who will deeply deplore his death.
We have not learned the cause of his
death, but owing to the suddenness. we
suppose 1t was due to some heart
trouble.
The relatives of the deceased have
the sympathy of grief stricken CON-
munity.

The base ball tournament at KiOWa
last Friday and Saturday was a very
entertaining affair. The first purse of
$50 was won by the Attica- Kingman
team and the second purse of $50 went
to the Byron, Ok, boys. Under ordi
nary circumstances the Kiowa boys
would have easily taken second money
and probably first. But it happened
that only two foreign clubs were there
and under the arrangement, the KIowa
boys had to play two games with each
team, thus being on the diamond from
2 p. 10. until 7:30 p. M, on two con-
secutive afternoons. The first game on
Friday afternoon between KIowa and
Attlca was as good game as was ever
played in this county. 1t was played
when all the players were in good
shape and few errors were made. The
score stood to at close of the ninth
inning. The same afternoon the Kio-
wa club beat Byron in a score of 10 to
3. The following day the Kiowa boys
showed the effect of the former days
work and they were in no shape to
work, consequently they lost both priz-
es. The games were we'll attended and
everything passed off nicely. The Wis
iting teams and spectators were treat
ed IN royal style and nothing was COM
planned of except the wind and dust
which was somewhat disagreeable
When the Kiowa people undertake to
do something they always do it right.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. NJ. Smith, of Cane
ma, are considerably worried because
of the disappearance of their son, Rob-
ert l.. Smith. When they saw him
last he was working on cattle
ranch in Beaver county, Ok, owned by
j. G. Becker. This was in the begin
ming of June, 1895. He was next heard
of at Meade, Kansas, and later at
Dodge City. Since then he has not
been seen by anyone who knows him
nor have the parents heard of his
whereabouts. Mr.. Smith thinks his
son is west or south of this county. He
has been employed on different ranches
most of his time and would naturally
be in the same occupation. The de-
scrIption of Robert l.. Smith is as fol-
lows: 20 years of age: nearly 6 feet
tall, slightly stopped, broad shoulder
ed, fiat chested, brown hair and when
last seen wore a light brown
mustache. His father has given
great deal of time in corresponding
and travelling in search OF him but SC
tar has been unsuccessful. No reason
was given for his leaving and he was
never known to have had trouble oil
any kind. He had considerable money
and got along well with everybody will
whom he has done business. The par
ents have only recently given publicity
to their trouble but theyare now anxiou
| to receive any information thew can ra
! garding his whereabouts or condition

The colored population of the city
have been considerably worked up'
during the past week over a sensation
When the disturbance first broke out
we had hoped it wouldn't be given more
than local publicity but it seems it was
not to be so. On Monday night of last
week some person gained entrance
through window in house on Wal.
nut street occupied by Mrs. Reaves, a
colored woman. and attempted to as
sault her, but by loud screaming she
aroused the Deighborhood and the in
truder fled. Mr.. Reaves, the husband,
was gone and Mrs. Rea7es and the
children were alone. This was appar-
emily known to the culprit and he was
seemingly confident of not being dis
turbed AT first Mrs. Reayes insisted
that the molester was white man but
later she accused young mulatto by
the name of Harry MacByers. Byers
was arrested and jailed on FRIDAY
morning and had his trial yesterday.
The witnesses included most of the col
ored people In town and the testimony
showed that the prosecuting witness
was disposed to believe that a popular
young white man was implicated, until
some time on Thursday when circum-
stances induced her to believe that the
defendant was the guilty person. The
trial begun yesterday and continued
during the day. The defendant was &C
quilted.
