MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Denver to Own Her Water System
Pays S4,5OO,OOO.

Denver, Nov 8-The board of alder
men Saturday night unanimously pass
ed a set of resolutions favoring muni-
cipaI ownership of the water works and
in the resolutions stated that they
would not pay over 81, 500, 900 for the
plant of the Denver Union Water com
pany, as a complete new plant could be
built for less than that
After some regular pay roll bills had
been allowed by the board, the water
question was brought up by Alderman
Clark, who offered the following resoIu-
tiOns:
Resolved, By the city council of the
city of Denver, that the said board of
public works of the city of Denver be,
and said board is hereby, requested to

essary for the purpose of obtaining the
necessary funds with which to acquire
and maintain such water works plant
and system, for the purpose of supply
ing said city Of Denver and the inhab-
itants thereof with water for the pur-
poses as hereinbefore mentioned, not,
however, to exceed the total sum and

CAT CUT IN PIECES.
Vivisection Practiced Before a z. n ..
@. A Glass in Denver.

Denver, Nov. S.-A cat was vivisected
at o'clock Saturday afternoon in the
quarters of the Y. NJ. c. A. in the Kilt
redge building.
Prof. c. E. Haskell, the physical di-
rector of the association institute, was
the one who carved up the chIOrOfOrm-
ed animal alive. Those who watched
and took great delight in the brutal af-
fair were II members of the junior gym
nasium class ranging in age from II to
16 years.
1t was in Prof HaskeI's office ad-
joining the gymnasium that the VlV1-
section took place. The cat, a black
and white one, was placed in a, gunny
sack.
While one of the boys helped to hold
the struggling creature the professor
chlOrOfOrmed it sufficiently to permit
him to cut it up alive. Then the cat
was laid on its back upon a small table
and Prof. Haskell nailed each of its
feet to the table, driving through it a
large tack with the aid of a hammer.
The boys watched with interest this
process against which the cat was un-
able to struggle.
One of the tacks came out, and was
driven in again, the blows being heavy
enough to insure the fact that the
cats paw would not again be released.
Then Prof. Haskell used the dissect-
ing instruments upon the cat. With
a sca1pel he cut the cats breast open
the full length, and he had gotten well
on with the process of skfnning it when
the animal began to show signs of re-
SiStance.
The professor forthwith dropped his
surgical Instruments and poured some
more chlorOform into his victims nose.
Meanwhile one of the boys had been
pulling the cats tail, thus adding to the
discomfort which it probably felt on
account of the process of being skinned
alive, to which it was being subjected.
When the animals feelings on the sub
ject had been subdued by the second
application of chlOroform, the vivisec-
ton went on and the animal was read
lily cut up
When Secretary Whitehead of the
Humane society learned of the matter
last evening. he was very indignant
over it.
''Vivisection," said he, sis reprehensi-
BILE in any event. When it is made in
the presence of boys it is brutalzing in
the extreme. I shall make it as warm
as possible for Prof. Haskell and any
others who may be responsible for the
brutal exhibition held at the rooms of
the Y M c. A understand that an
other cat is to be vivisected there at Z
O'Clock tonight. Perhaps it may not
come off Certainly it will not, If the
Humane society can stop it,

BLIND PIGS RUNNING.
Hyde PARK, Chicago, Not Wholly Rid
of Illicit Liquor Sellers.

Chicago, Nov S.-Blind pigs are be
Heved to still flourish in Hyde Park. and
the Protective Association is about to
wage a new and warmer campaign
against them. The association viii is
sue 5000 circulars to the people of that
district and an attempt is to be made
to raise $4,000 to meet the current ex-
penses of blind pig determination.
Already much success has been ac-
corded those who are intent on the col
lection of money to prosecute the war
Church societies are giving their col
lecttOns on frequent occasions, and even
the liquor seller himself has been
known to contribute. On the books Of
the association appears the entry OF
$25 in cash credited to an agent of GER
tain liquor houses who has his home in
that neighborhood. The money to be
raised is to meet the expenses of hiring
detectives, lawyers, pay printing bills
and incidental items.
Before Judge Waterman in the Grim
1nal court Saturday John and Andrew
Temple were fined $50 each, and the
former went to Jail for 20 days. Both
were under Indictment for selling Ii
quor in a barn at 4248 st. Lawrence av-
enue, and both plead guilty to the
charge. They have been awaiting trial
since June g. when the Hyde Park
Protective association obtained the in
dictment of Is blind pig keepers. A
dozen or more are yet to be tried.

WHERE BROWN?
Indiana Men Drops Out of Sight in
Chicago With $4,000.

Chicago, Nov. s.-George H. Brown. a
prominent citizen of Knox, Ind, who
has been missing from his home since
October II, is believed to have been
robbed and murdered in Chicago.
Brown had $500 in cash and S. 900
worth of negotia BILE paper in his pos
session at the time he left home. He
added $5, 500 in cash to this sum later,
as he collected So 500 from a firm in
Urbana and 81 100 from firm in New
man. Ill Brown came to Chicago about
October 81 from Champaign, Ill, since
which time no trace of him has been
found.
At the time of his disappearance,
Brown was being badly pushed for a
loan of $40 900 he had made on some of
his real estate holdings and it was to
raise money to pay off this obligation
that caused him to take a trip through
Illinois.
The missing man was one of the larg-
est stock growers and real estate deal
ers in Stark county.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A Simple Harmless Remedy.
Yet it Cures the Worst Cases of Dys-
pepsia and Indigestion

DR.. Jennison, who has made q life
study of stomach troubles, says: All
forms of Indigestion really amount to
the same thing, that is, failure to COM
pIetely digest the food eaten; no mat
ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep-
sia or sour stomach, belching of wind,
nervous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and
appetite; a person will not have any of
them if the stomach can be induced by
any natural, harmless way to thor
oughly digest what is eaten, and this
can be done by a simple remedy which
I have tested in hundreds of aggrava-
ted cases with complete success. The
remedy is a combination of fruit and
vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin
and golden seal put up in the form of
pleasant tasting tablets and sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these
tablets should be taken after meals and
allowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingling with the food in the stomach
digests it completely before it has time
to ferment, decay and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand grains of meat, eggs
and similar wholesome foods
If is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known, by people
generally, it would be national bless
ing. as we are a nation of dyspeptics
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion and
nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
secret patent madeline, but fifty cent
package will do more real good for a
weak stomach then fifty dollars worth
of patent medicines and a person has
the satisfaction of knowing just what
he is putting into his stomach, which
he does not know, when widely adVer-
tised patent medicines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full sized ( ackageS so cents.

TREATED LIKE BEASTS.
Conditions of Prisoners in the Musko-
gee Federal Jail

Muskogee, I. T.. Nov. S.-There is in
this place a United States jail which is,
to put it mildly, a disgrace to the coun-
try.
Muskogee is one of the leading, If not
the leading town in Indian Territory
It is located in the north central part
and has some 1000 inhabitants, good
schools, a federal court house and the
Jail.
The jail is located in about as un-
healthy a spot as the town affords, be-
ing on the lowest ground and only one
block from a stagnant pond which COW
ers several acres, and is a general
''catch-all''
Malaria and typhoid are prevalent
and it would seem that the Jail had
been located with a special view toward
killing off as many prisoners as posi-
Bile with those insidiOus diseases. All
the buildings are of lumber, iron sheet
ing on the outside and the inside. There
are no closets, no bath rOoms-nOthing,
in fact.
Prisoners are herded together like so
many cattle. In the main room from
100 to 40 prisoners are confined. At the
time the writer visited the place there
were 157 men in it, and the thermOme-
ter registered SO degrees in the shade.
Around the room was a row of iron cots
leaving a space of Sc feet square for
that number of men to move and live
in. The dirty, rough bedding was piled
up on the cots. On the walls were some
pegs, on which hung the clothing of the
inmates ana each ones tin cup. IhlS
room, containing 1,6O0 square feet. gives
each man about ten feet square of
space in which to sleep. Allowing each
one six feet in length and two in width
would pack them in like sardines in a
box.
Imagine the condition of affairs A
visit to the culinary department show
ed that dinner, the chief meal, was be-
ing prepared. The bill of fare was corn
bread, steWed meat and greens. The
kitchen and store room were of the
rudest kind-not even common cleanli-
ness existing. The place was more like
a feeding pen for hogs than like a gov
ernment kitchen. The government let's
the contract for feeding the prisoners at
80 cents a day for each person, and they
are fed on the hog order. Each man re
ceives his portion in a tin cup with a
piece of corn bread or a biscuit, as the
case may be, and that constitutes a
feeding"
There are no closets or bath rooms.
The prisoners are taken out into the
yard and scrubbed off, much the same
as one would clean dog.
It is impossible to clean them in any
other way, as there are no facilities for
so doing. The jail officials do all in
their power for the prisoners, and, all
things considered, they do we'll But
they are almost powerless.

WE'D SEMI-DARKNESS.
Hurried Marriage in Justice McClin-
tock,s Office Saturday Evening.

Married in haste. At least the cere-
mony was short and no time lost in
the way that Justice McClintock mar
ried Eugene Gibbons and Minnie In
man Saturday night.
At half past eight Judge McClintock,
attired in evening dress on his way TO
a party, opened the door of the court
room and headed the procession that
marched UP to the bar of justice The
contracting parties had been waiting
in the hall and when the court ap-
peared WhiSting the Lotus two step"
the procession moved. 1t was quiet
wedding and no more than were neces-
sary according to law were there. Ihe
Judge removed his OvercOat and seated
himself in his official attitude
It was not a yellow or white
wedding. 1t was nearly dark we'd
ding. One faint gas jet tried to pierce
the dark corners of the room and the
shadows on the wall made it what a
boarding school girl calls weird. No peal
from an organ announced the arrival
of the procession For once, thank
goodness, Mendelssohn's Wedding
march was not played.
The bride was attired in a black
street dress and carried an umbrella
in her right hand. The groom wore
his working clothes and an Overcoat.
Are you ready?" asked the judge.
I'VE are" said the groom.
The two witnesses came out from the
dark corners of the room and acted as
best man and flower girl
The prospective bride and groom
stepped before the judge who looked at
the man in a grave manner over his
glasses and read the short legal mar
riage ceremony.
DO you, Eugene Gibbons, promise
and agree to love, keep, cherish and
protect this woman whom you hold by
the hand, as long as you may live?"
Il do" was the answer.
The question was then asked the
bride and she answered in the affirm
ative.
Then by the legal power vested in
me as a justice of the peace, L pro-
nounce you man and wife" The judge
then arose, turned out the gas
and the ceremony was over. It lasted
about one minute but the knot was
tied as hard as if there had been a
church full of people, a large process
sion and orange blossoms. And no
doubt it will be just as happy-Or just
a s miserable, according to the temper
ament or temper of the welded pair.

Jersey Girls Organize for Protection
and Marriage.

Cape May, n. J., Nov. S.-A new and
altogether. unique organization has
been formed by number of attractive
and marriageable young women of this
city, who find time hanging heavy on
their hands during the winter months.
The title of the new organization is the
Bachelor Maids club, and its objects
are the cultivation of the social ameni-
ties of the season and mutual prOtec-
ton of interests along matrimonial
lines.
The club has adopted a constitution
and bylaws, with attached penalties
for violations. One of the fundamental
rules adopted by a majority of one aft
er long and heated argument, is that
no member may accept an offer of mar
riage without the unanimous consent
of the club membership.

Omaha Preacher Censures Episcopal
Opposition to Henry George.

Omaha, Nov. Sat a Henry George
memorial meeting yesterday afternoon,
Rev. John Williams. rector of st. Bar
nabas Protestant Episcopal church, de-
nounced the churches of New York city
for their opposition to George.
The reverend gentleman said that the
New York churches, especially the
Protestant Episcopal, were under the
control of the Vanderbilts and Astors,
and while Henry George was a Chris
tian in his every fiber, plutocratic in
f1uence in the church was strong enough
to shut him out.

ANOTHER EXPEDITION
Is Planned by a Sea Captain Who
May Use a canadian Vessel

Quebec, Nov 8.-A certified sea cap
tain of this city. supported by the Roy
al Society of Canada, is organizing an
expedition to start for the north pole
next spring. The captain is working on
entirely different lines from any other
explorers who have tried to reach the
pole, but he will first apply to both pro-
vincial and federal governments for as
sistance towards his project.
He proposes to use one of the Do
ninion government cruisers as far
north as possible, when he will debark
a skiff. which he has arranged to go
over ice and up hills without the as
sistance of his crew. Seven men be-
sides the captain will compose the par
ty and all will be required to pass a
rigid medical examination.

CURRENCY COMMISSION.
Proposed Substitution of Bank Notes
for Government Demand Obligations.

Proposed Substitution of Bank N Notes
for Government Demand Obligations.
Washington, Nov. S.-WhiIe the mon
etary commission has not yet formula
ted the report on which its petition to
congress for currency reforms will be
based, enough is known to make it GER
tain that the recommendations of the
commission will differ radically from
those of Secretary Gage.
The commissions plan will contem-
plate the withdrawal from circulation of
demand obligations upon the govern
ment and the funding of obligations in
gold bonds. 1t will probably propose a
per cent rate on the refunded debt,
instead of 212 as proposed by the sec
retary of the treasury, thus saving a
big interest charge to the government
and will propose to put upon the banks
the obligation to maintain gold pay
ments.
1t is estimated that it costs the gov
ernment $21,00O 600 a year to maintain
the parity of the currency, and it is
claimed that by putting this obligation
upon the banks there will be a saving
Of that much to the government in ad-
dition to the saving OF interest on
bonds.
Another proposition being discussed
is to levy small taxa fraction of 1
per cent-upOR the banks as an inSur-
ance fund to guarantee depOsitors. 1t
is urged that the saving of the govern
ment of interest charges, of the expense
the security proposed to be offered to
the public against any loss through the
banks, either on the bank currency or
through deposits, will be accepted by
the public as a compensation for privi-
leges to be extended to the banks and
for turning over to them the sole right
to issue currency.
The great difficulty in the way of Sc
curing even Republican votes in con-
gress for any measure of currency re-
form which replaces government de-
mand obligations with bank notes, is
the fear members of congress have of
being charged in campaigns with sub
servience to the interests of the banks,
and for that reason it is argued that
any action must be made defensible on
the ground that exactions are made of
the banks for the benefit of the peo-
pie"

Ten foot depth -........................ 26.35
AS for Mr.. Weston, he has shown his
faith in the new discoveries by sending
out from Cripple Creek two prospectors
to take claims for him In an interview
Mr.. Weston said:
L am greatly pleased with the outlook
of Wyoming's newly discovered gold
fields. The surface indications are in
deed hattering, but depth alone will tell.
The general character of the ore is simply
a white quartz. more or less stained with
iron oxides and containing pockets of
honey-combed cavities in the veins of
iron oxide, some of it containing pockets
of free gold. The appearance of the ore
leads me to suppose that with depth it
will show iron sulphides. At present.
however, the gold is free. 1 have also
found much quartz porphyry, permeated
with iron oxide and containing much
low grade value. No one can tell the
extent of the new district until depth is
reached, but that many great mines will
be discovered here 1 have no doubt"
Placer digging the banks of the Grand
Encampment river has become the occu-
patton of many, and with no mean sue
cess. The paintings have shown the yell
low metal from gold dust to nuggets
weighing high as one and one-half
ounces, but no ''Klondike diggings'' have
as yet been made.
The country is all brand new, and, as
in other gold excitements, everything is
in a turmoil and there is little system in
the workings anywhere. The people have
hurried here, and in many cases are un-
prepared to weather the winter. There
are not to exceed 75 completed cabins in
the whole district, and many are occupy
ing tents and some even sleeping out un-
der the open heavens and enduring every
hardship. One little cabin, 16 by 80 feet,
in the new town of Grand Encampment
has housed on an average AZ men during
the past week.
There is a world of mountain pines
around and in the new district, and many
are erecting cabins for the winter. More
than 200 of these are now said to be in
course of construction. The recent heavy
snow has made the work of hauling logs
very difficult, and many, it is feared will
suffer if the present weather should con-
tinue, but the gold hunters are enthusi-
astic and anticipate no serious privations.
They expect to put in the winter there
doing what work is possible, and when the
spring shall have opened the world will
doubtless know the full truth about the
mountain of gold.''
