Aspen, Colo, Nov. 1S.-The smuggler
mine fire is apparently gaining head
way. Twice as much smoke and gas
are coming out of the shaft today as
yesterday and the danger of the blaze
reaching the open timbers above the
seventh level is increasing hourly. The
management have virtually abandoned
the burning stope to its fate until n
drift can be run in the foot wall from
which 1t can be attacked. This will
take a week or ten days. The general
situation, as regards other properties,
is somewhat improved.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medlcinea Eail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely sim
pie preparation of SarsapariilR, Dock,
Stlllingia and little Iodide OF Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains those great kidney RENE
dies, IVA Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision OF regularly educated phar-
mBcist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla q
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparllla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" Mrs.
EMMA FRANKLIN, Honeoye, New York.

cheapest contract possible, and exult
loudly in their perspicacity in exacting

usually in the awarding of the contract

the chosen one, with a few minor dis
cords by the unsuccessful competitors.
A little later comes the epilogue, in
which the contractor who has secured
the work, after 1t has been proved that
he does not perform it, appeals to the
council not to be too hard on the poor
man, who is doing his best, and the
council willingly obliges him, orders
his bills paid, releases his bondsmen
from any obligation, and announces
that the matter will be better taken

change in the caste of leading char

or porciarity. We suggest humbly
that, since it has proved to be so TAX

and put upon the actual stage in the
way of a benefit performance for the
unsuccessful bidders for garbage con-
tracts. They are entitled to something
for their trouble, surely; and If all
parties were to appear at one Of our
opera houses IN SpanSieS and tights,
with the work in an appropriate mu-
sical setting, we cannot doubt that
heavy box receipts would greatly con-
sole the estimable gentlemen who de-
light us yearly by helping to make the
actual performance a success, without
securing any compensation in the
shape of contract with fat fees and
no obligation behind them.

Who can estimate the pessimism that
has followed the late election in the
minds of millions Of men who have
come to honestly believe the ranting of
the demagOgues against capital and
wealth and corporate rapacity; who
thought themselves engaged in another

see in their defeat, not any demerit in
their own cause, but only the triumph
of insOlent and unscrupulous wealth,

us and always will have until that blest
time comes when the ills and woes that

there will be no longer dark side Of

society is one Of the most modest, un-

labor that has been bestowed upon it

genuine interest in It's province and
cordial appreciation of the function
that it has to perform. It's growth has
been directed by the wise care Of ex-
perts. who combined happily an in
tense devotion to their duty with con-
summate skill in it's performance. 1t
has always been limited by most mod
est means and by the lack of suitable
accommodations. 1t has not had the
advantage of persistent advertising
Notwithstanding all this, it has gone
on year after year, doing it's work
collections, and has amassed for the
people of this state a library that is,
in some respects, unsurpassed in this
country. The collection Of the material
for complete history of this state has
been conscientiously and thoroughly
carried out. Invaluable are the COM
plete files of all newspapers in the
towns and cities of Minnesota from the
organization of the territory in 1S49.
Access to the splendid library of his
