SALVATION ARMY COLONY.
Experts on the Way to Pueblo to
Purchase Land.

Pueblo, Sept. u.-C. d. Schmidt, land
commissioner for the Suburban Land and
Improvement company, returned this
evening. Mr.. Schmidt left the latter part
of July to go to New York to confer with
Commander Booth-Tucker in regard to
the Salvation Army rescue colony pro-
ject and sailed with Commander Tucker
to London for conference with General
William Booth, the supreme head of the
organization. Mr. Schmidt returns con-
fident that the first colony of the Saliva
tion Army will be located under the Bes-
semer ditch, in Pueblo county, and as
near this city possible.
The project means the purchase by the
Salvation Army of 10000 acres of land
acres each, providing for the immigra-
tion of 1000 families to Pueblo county
within the next year. Commander Tuck
er assured Mr.. Schmidt that the colonial
tion project would be SO arranged that
the first colony would be sent to the Ar
kansas valley, near Pueblo, some time in
November. A commission will leave New
York tomorrow from the Salvation Army
headquarters made up of land experts
and legal counsel They are expected in
Pueblo early next week and will make
careful examination of the irrigation
lands of the state, of the soils and other
details that are of interest in a project
of this kind.
Commander Booth-Tucker will also be
in Pueblo between the 10th and 2Srd of
September his way east from Cali
fornia, where he goes on another coloni-
zation scheme.
Mr.. Schmidt says the financial end of
the project is assured, and while he does
not care TO discuss it in detail, he refers
to the statement that such noted finan-
ciers and moneyed men as Ladenburg,
ThaImann & Co. of New York, who are
the owners of the land under the Besse-
mer ditch. would not have sent him on a
trip to Europe unless the project was one
of undoubted financial stability.

TO RAISE THE BIG GUNS.
Efforts to be Made to Raise the 1S-
Tonners Of Tybee Island

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE four s.
inch guns intended for the fortifications
a Savannah, which went down with a
schooner of Tybee Island during a gale
this week, may be rescued by the war
department if divers are able to work
where the vessel now lies on the bot
tom. The loss will fall on the gov
ernment, however, should the guns not
be found, as they were uninsured and
the schooner carrying them was in no
way responsible for their safe delivery.
The quartermaster' department of
the army, to which the guns were de-
livered by the ordnance bureau for
transportation from New York to Ty-
bee, has instructed dredging company
to proceed at once to the scene of the
wreck and take soundings, with a view
to discovering how far below the sur
face the guns lie, and whether they are
still above the sand. Upon this report
will depend what efforts are to be made
to rescue them. Each gun weighs Is
tons, and an immense derrick and
hosting apparatus would be required,
the army experts say, to bring it to the
surface.

POOR MESSENGER BOY.
Bank Entrusted a Fortune to Him
and He Has Not Returned.

New York, Sept. 11.-Drafts for the
face value of 1000 and $500 in cash is
the fortune an American District Tele-
graph messenger appropriated last
Tuesday from bank funds entrusted to
his care. Then he started out to enjoy
a life less humdrum than his pay of
$3.50 a week made possible. He may
have the gold fever and be on his way
to the RlOndike, but the police believe
he has gone to Coney Island or some
nearby pleasure resort.
The Bank of Commerce called a mes
senger at L o'clock Tuesday to make
collections. 1t is a regular thing for
banks and brokers to employ American
District Telegraph Boys in making col
lections and deliveries. Some of them
give bonds and are employed on the
errands where the largest amounts of
money are involved.
Joseph w. Maucher, II years old. was
sent by the American District Tele-
graph company in response to the call
from the bank. He was not under bond
but had been in the employ of the COM
pany long enough to have gained the
confidence of the officers. At the bank
a number of drafts were given him to
collect, aggregating about $50, 900.
Maucher started out with the book full
of drafts. At o'clock he had not re-
turned and the detectives are still
searching for him

BRADSTREETS.
Bradstreet's says:


The business week has been marked
by a continuation of comparatively free
buying by jObbing and commission
merchants in anticipation of the future
wants at almost all important distr-ib-
uting points. At a number of centers
special rate excursions of merchants
have assisted the weeks volume of
business, Notwithstanding the interven-
ton of a holiday. Speculative interests
and the strength of wool remain fea-
lures of that market. Cotton fabrics
have improved their position in view
of increased demand and cheaper raw
material There has been a falling off
in general trade in portions of Texas.
due in part to the unwillingness of the
planters to sell cotton at it's present
price, but at central western points
notably Chicago and st. Louis, business
has been quite active. Western iron
and steel mills are practically independ-
ent of buyers for the remainder of the
calendar year.
The August advance in prices for
more than 100 staple raw and manufac-
tured articles, products, live stock. ETC.,
amounted to "a per cent, following a
81 per cent advance in July. During
the first six months of the calendar
year prices referred to fell away about
2.6 per cent.

GENTLEMAN FROM TOPEKA
Is What They Call Commissioners
Campbell Down in Stafford.

Railroad Commissioner Campbell is an
ardent advocate of the theory of maxi
mum freight rates. If such a law can not
be secured he wants the legislature to
give the railroad commissioners power to
adjust and fix rates. Announcement of
the latter idea last winter was miscon-
strued by some of his political associates
in Stafford county to mean that he had
deserted the idea of maximum rates
This, in the eyes of the Stafford county
Populists was objectionable sin and in
the convention last week resolution was
introduced demanding that Mr.. Camp
bell, the gentleman from Topeka, be call
ed upon to explain his change of position
on the maximum rate question"
Mr. Campbell was not averse to being
called upon to make explanations.
The fact that he was dubbed "the gen
tleman from Topeka" is what most
aroused Mr.. Campbell to action.
'"This is marvellous" he declared. Il
am one of you in Stafford county. I don't
belong to Topeka. The mere fact that L
hold an office in Topeka does not neces-
sarily mean that 1 am cut off from my
home, does it?''

HANNA AND THE SENATE.
He Says it is a Great Institution and
That Wisdom Prevails There.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 11.-Senator MA:
Hanna was in a retrospective mood
yesterday afternoon. He had just nm
ished dinner at the Union club, and,
as he sat at his desk in the Perry
Paine building, his mind turned to the
senate of the United States
The senate said the senator, is the
greatest institution in the world; there
rs nothing like it
"Some people say it is filled with old
fogieS. Is that sop
'Humph! Some people are fools. Let
anyone go down there once if he thinks
that He'll soon become converted. 1t
has become the habit among certain
people who don't know what they are
talking about to say that the senate is
composed of old fossils. That is the
most arrant nonsense.
THE senate is a dignified body of dig
nified men of great ability. Occasion
ally perhaps, a lightweight gets in, but
he soon sinks to his proper level. The
entire body can be no more judged by
such an individual than the entire
newspaper profession be judged by a
single knave or weakling who may be
in the business
"Great measures come before the SEN
ators for settlement, and have yet to
have pointed out to me a time when the
senate did not determine wisely. The
senate is the greatest and best legisla-
tive body in the world Passion plays
no part in its operations Wisdom pre-
walls. But 1 have scarcely been a SEN
ator long enough to be entitled to a
place as a champion of that body
speak, however, as man, and not as a
senator, of what have seen"
How do you like being senator?"
'I'n answer that later" replied MI
Hanna

Mrs. Meach Robbed the Dead That

.CatskilI, N. Y, Sept. Ill mean to
have as fine a bonnet as my neighbor
has, said Mrs A. L. Meach. to her hus-
band a few days ago
How are you going to get it?' inquired
her husband, TIN too poor to buy it for
you
Then the woman told him that she irl-
tended to trim her last years hat with
ribbon and intended to secure the ribbon
by stealing it from punches of flowers
that often were laid on the graves in the
village cemetery. Her husband was as
tonished at the scheme of his wife, and
refused at first to assist her in robbing
and desecrating the graves. Finally he
consented to accompany her on her
marauding expedition The night was
dark and stormy and the moon was hidden
by a bank of clouds when man and wife
entered the cemetery. There they stole
several yards of ribbon from flowers.
They were seen to steal the ribbon by
the man in charge of the cemetery and
were traced to their home Tuesday. The
woman was adorned with much berib-
boned hat when she and her husband
were arrested. Now the pair are spend
ing ten days in jail.

A NOBLE GIFT.

Much OF the complaint against vast ac-
cumulations of wealth in individua hands
would cease if millionaires should follow
the example set by the Scandinavian,
Alfred Nobel. who recently died and be-.
queathed fortune of $l0.000,O00 to the
benefit of humanity. The interest from
this immense sum he directs shall an
nually be distributed in five great prizes
to the five men who have been among the
foremo ost benefactors of their race.
There is prize each for the most inn
portant discovery in physics, in chemistry
and in medicine. one Tor the greatest Liter
ary work in an ideal sense and the fifth
goes to him who shall have exerted the
greatest or best action for the fraternity Of
the people. for the suppression or the
dimlnution of armies and for the promo
tion of peace congresses.
These i've prizes will amount to $50, 900
each. and every year there. will be fresh
chance for discoverers, authors and philau-
thropists to win these fortunes. 1t is the
most munificent system OF rewards that
has ever been established. Four of these
prizes are to be awarded by various Swell
ish academies and Institutes and the fifth
wegian Storthing, but it is the express
will OF the testator that nationality shall
not be taken into account in the awards.
Alfred Nobel was distinguished chem.
ist and the inventor of dynamite. 1t
seems odd that he who placed in man s
hands the most terribly destructive Of
wars munitions should have offered these
great annual prizes for those who put
forth the best efforts for wars suppression.
II is probable. however, the invention
itself may yet have q strong influence in
putting an end to the battles the inventor
.detested, and which he planned that his
wealth should continue striving to over
come long after his death. Learning how
10 use dynamite effectively may make
war so mutually and suddenly extermina-
tive that no nation will have the 0olly TO
engage in it.
twill be interesting to watch what ei-
feet the stimulus of these large prizes will
have on genius. 1t is to be devou,ly
hoped that mankind will greatly benefit
from the magnificent gift of this lover of
humanity. Perhaps the aggregate effect
both in stimulating genius and befriend-
ing mankind might have been made
greater by dividing the sum into smaller
prizes so as tc reach hum bier toilers and
OBSERVERS. Many more hearts would thus
have been encouraged and made happy.
The five among.th worlds most success
full men who will succeed in capturing
these great prizes would, in almost every
case, have reaped an immense reward
without the addition of Nobers gift, and
the stimulus of il could add little toward
rousing capacity which was great
enough to reach out for the frst five
achievements OF each year. However,
since the manner OF distributing the gift
has passed forever beyond reconsidera-
ton, let us hope that Providence will
direct the awards to some of those mod est
scholars who seek no wealth from patent
rights, and who have no commercial
capacity to compel the world to pay them
what they deserve.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-01

bition next week. There have been a
number of donations to the museum dur
ing the past week A number OF opals
were given by s. Sonnenfeld of San Fran
cisco, some stuffed birds from Mrs M. II.
Chauche of Oakland and some relics OF
colonial days from Mrs. Ed Z. Lee of Sa-
lem. Mass.
The birds in the aviary were tuning up
for the opening of spring, and Monarch,
the grizzly bear, thought it warm enough
to take bath in the big tub.
They had the usual sports out at the
Sutro baths. The boys race was won by
f. Clough. TIE 100-yard race was a tie
between Geddis. Redigan and Bell, and
the obstacle race was won by +. Clough.
At the Chutes there was crowd of de-
lighted children watching the perform
ances of Bristois trained ponies. The
star performer was the little mule, "Den-
ver," who cleverly helps his master put
on his coat and he can pull off the boss
rubbers and put the m away in the closet.
When his master was sick in the city OF
Denver the little mule used to go down to
the hotel to see him every day and walk
up the steps to his room. He can get
in swing and swing himself in q way
that brings much applause.
