war, and returning to the city at it's
close, he accepted a position with the his
tOric old house Of Levy Brothers. where
he held positions of trust continuously

ham Levy and the winding up of the
business a little more than year ago,
since which time he has been connected
with us. We have no hesitation In say
ing that we regard Mr.. Valentine eminent
ly qualified in every respect TO fill the
position he is seeking at the hands OF
his fellow-citizens, and man who will
well and faithfully guard the city's in
terest il elected. While We would hate 10
part with him, we cannot withhold from
him this endorsement.

1t has been noticed that almost invaria-
bly, when these coffee drinkers reach
about the age of forty their eyesight be-
gins to fail, and by the time they get to
be 80, they become blind. One is forci-
bly, impressed by the number of blind
men that are seen about the streets of
the City of Fee, the capital of Morocco.
1t is invariably attributed to the excess
i've use of coffee.
This opinion has been confirmed by
the opinion of European physicians liv-
ing there.-Atlanta Constitution.

SUICIDE AND THE WEATHER

A New York paper has discovered a
connection between the humidity of the
weather on Friday and the large num-
ber of suicides that occurred on that
day in the metropolis. That certain at
mospheric conditions predspose to self
destruction and accentuate any tendency
in that direction is fact which has
long been recognized by the medical
fraternity. and often commented by
newspaper men, who have exceptional
opportunities for observing such things
In western city of 200, 600 population
ten cases of suicide We're reported on
one day, and except for the depressing
weather there appeared to be no cause
sufficient to warrant the step. In Paris,
where suicide is more frequent than in
this country. the connection between it
an humid weather is well-established,
and the morgue keepers always look out
for an increase of business when the two
are at aphelion, SO to speak.-Buffalo

CRIPPLE CREEK ORE.

The most careful estimate of the Oc-
tober production that can be made
gives the output at $4,000 tons, of which
1000 tons went to the mills and had ali
average value of $50 ton. The remain
ing 5000 was of smelling grade, and 1t is
most conservative to estimate its aver
age value at $75. This makes the out
ability it was much more. The grade
of the ore going into the samplers has
been showing a steady increase for the
past two months. and all ore buyers
agree that $75 is too low an estimate
The eFstival of Mountain and Plain in
Denver lost almost a week of work
in October. and but for its diverting in
fuence the output would have been
much larger. November will show the
biggest month the camp has ever had
both in tonnage and in value.-Denver
