THE AIR SHIP
1t Passed Over Ressemer Last Nigh


At last ths air ship has been seen in
Bessemer, and the town is all agog this
morning. At 1l:3O last night as W.
H. Ellington, d. w. Hartnett, W. p.
Swartz, II. Herman, Joe Leyyie, c. Il.
Quackenbush, j. b. Taylor I. W. Lynch
and p. Sheeran, members Of the Busi-
ness Mems Social Club, were returning
from fishing trip at Lake Minnequa,
they beheld an aerial object approach
ing the party from the east.
1t passed over the steel works and, as
it did SO they sized it up as the much
talked of air ship. The party stood
spell bound at the sight of he monster
winged ship. As it passed above them
they fancied they heard human voices
1t winged its way out over the lake and.
swooping down, the occupants seemed
to scoop up vessels of fresh water.
Then with a half circle the visitor passed
by the party again. this time not more
ohan 100 feet above them
Finally w II. Ellington recovered his
breath sufficiently to call out. What
message do you want to leave" Quick
ly came the answer from the feetiug
stranger, Just tell them that you saw
me!' And then amid uproarious
laughter from the occupants of the ship
it was gone.
The account given by these men aS to
the appearance of the thing does not
correspond with the stories told by the
Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs and
Palmer Lake people, and so we are led
to believe that the object seen at those
places was not the air ship at all, but
was probably summer crane looking
for its mate

SOME TERRORs TO BICYCLIsTS.

Some of the terrors that the average
bicyclist encounters every day on the
street may be enumerated as follows;
The cyclist learning to ride.
The cyclist who thinks he has learned
to ride too well, and who should be
captured by side show and used as a
trick rider.
The fellow who won't gixe up part OF
the road; and
The one who turns out to the left.
Dogs.
The woman driving horse when she
starts to turn round in the street.
The everlasting sprnkling wagon.
Cranky female cyclists who expect a
fellow to raise his hat when he is bump
ing over rough road.
The deaf pedestrian; also
The blind one crossing the street.
The reckless horseman turning cor
ner.
The scorcher.
Cows.
Baling wire.
Old shoes and bits of straps and hoop
iron that look tacky.
The woman with baby carriage at
crossing.
The small boy who calls ou "Ice!"
The imp who yells lice wagon!''
And there are others.

Something to Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones. of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
Of DIR. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife vas attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into hasty Consumption. Hav-

bottle hsme, and to the surprise OF all
she began to get better from the first
dose, and half dozen dollar bottles
cured her sound and well. DIR. Kings

BEWARE OF THE "oRGAN.''

The Courier, with its calamity howl
ing, its continual swapping and snarling
at capital, its bulldozing tactics, aided
and abetted by little Gang OF rattle
Drained nonentities, is becoming more
and more an injury to the cause OF true
unionism, and nuisance in the COM
munity on general principles. The
sooner the labor unions OF the city pub
licly repudiate the miserable rag the
better it will be for them, and we are
glad to state that since our review last
week of some of its silly vaporings, a
number of laboring men have made
haste to say that it in no wise represents
their views, and that they regret the
foolish and harmful course it is pursu-
ing.
The Courier is evidently unacquainted
with the higher character and intelli-
gsnce of the laboring people, rs its rant
ings appeal only to the baser element to
be found among all classes. 1t is,
therefore, EXTREMITY unfortunate that
the sheet has managed, by the aid of a
little clique, to be pronounced the otfic-
ial organ of the Central Trades and
Labor Union. 1t brings the unions in.
to public dlsfavor by placing them in u
false light, and they owe 1t to them
selves to call halt on the sheet and
choose level-headed men to run an
"organ" if, indeed, there be any use at
all for an organ. Every newspaper in
the city, so far as is known, is very
friendly toward labor organizations, and
is always willing to assist in advancing
their cause. In fact they do so but the
Calamity Howler claims all the credit,
which is unjust to other papers.
Beware of the "organ.'

STEEL WORKS IMPROVEMENTS
They Will be Made, and no Mistake
About it. Good News for Pueblo.

New and extensive improvements are
to be made at the steel works. This is
grave assertion in the face OF the fact
that it is contrary to current report,
and for that matter contrary to general
belief, but yet we make the statement.
We make it deliberately and adyisedly,
because we get the information from an
inside and reliable source, but which we
are not at this time at liberty to divulge.
We will go furthur and state that a
small squad OF men is already at work
in the converting department with that
end in view, and that the force will be
materially increased shortly, when the
work OF removing the old plant on tho
steel side will be begun in earnest.
Modern improvements will be put in
that will cost approximately s350,O00,
and when completed the mill will be
equal to those of the East, not SO ex
to-date as far as it goes. The work
will be pushed right along and, barring
accidents and unlocked for circumstan-
ces, ought to be completed by next
December or January.
The expenditure of s350,OOO in i'm
provements is a big thing to contem-
plate, and even while the work OF re-
building and replacing is going on, a
large pay roll will be footed up each
month. 1t is big thing for Pueblo,
and something that will set capital
along many other lines going. The C..
F. & I. company has had arrangements
made to go ahead with the work for
come time, and had it not been for the
collapse of the prices Of steel rails few
weeks ago there would now be seen
visible effects of the plans which the
company has formulated.
The steel works has always been the
biggest thing in Pueblo, and even
now with the steel side shut down. the
the monthly pay roll is more than
$4,000. The g. +. & 1. company means
business, and Pueblo is to be congrat-
ulated on the prospects OF this big
steel works being put in good condition.
We are on the up grade.

Where Men are Being Made
Rich in q Day.
The rich strikes in the Red River
Ountry are exceeding even the
that camp. 1t is no longer necessary
to talk about prospects and what the
camp will prove to be, for the gold
has been found in large quantities,
and hardly day passes but some
man strikes a rich vein of ore and is
raised from poverty to riches, as
nearly all the men in that camp are
comparatively poor, although of late
men of means have been taking
decided interest in that section and
are anxious to invest their money.
Word has just reached this city
that ore running 5000 to the ton has
been found within couple of hun
dred yars of Red River City by the
Phipps brothers on ground that has
been tramped over by nearly every
prospector in that camp. This vein
was opened up while they were do
ing the assessment work.
1t has been often said that this
district would eclipse cripple Creek,
and it now looks as If this was not
idle talk, but that the statement
would prove true. This is not said
to detract from the glory of that
wonderful camp Of Cripple Creek
but to give some idea Of the pos
sibilities Of the camp.

Finding the Gear.

The way to tell the gear of any hi
cycle is easy enough when you know
how: Divide the number of teeth in
the large sprocket by the number of
teeth in the small sprocket, and multi
ply the quotient by the diameter OF the
wheel. Thus, if there are 20 teeth in
the large sprocket and S teeth in the
small sprocket, and the diameter of the
wheel is % inches, you have 10 gear
bicycle; for 20 divided by S equals ~
which multiplied by IS equals 20, the
gear of the bicycle.
