This ends Babb for the present. Let
nobody suppose, however, that this is the
end of Babb. He is as smart as any OF
the gang that refuse to pay him to pray
while they are drawing salaries as they

Is there any reason why Babb should
be denied $50 a month for praying fol

$50 a month for riding around doing
nothing?
Is there any reason why Babb should
be left out in the cold while Superintend

DEATH or EX-GOVERNOR EVANS.
Philanthropist, Scholar. Politician
and Noble Man.

PhiIanthropist, Scholar, Politician
and Noble Man.
Denver, July 5.-ExGovernor Evans
died at 80 Saturday afternoon.
John Evans was born near Wains-
Vile, Ohio, March 9. 1914. In 1888 lie
graduated from the medical department
of Cincinnati college He first practiced
his profession at Attica, Ind. He began
advocating lne establishment of state i'll
sane asylums, and in 1874 induced the
legislature to build one at indianapolis,
Of which he was appointed superintend-
ent. In lS49 he resigned this position
to accept chair in Rush medical col
lege of Chicago. This place he held for
IL years. DR.. Evans was for some time
editor of the Northwestern Medical and
Surgical journal. He also established
the Illinois general hospital Of the lakes,
later turned over to the Mercy hospital.
His wealth was literally spent in the
promotion of the institution in which his
sympathles We're enlisted. The North
western university was one of these. His
work in its establishment was recognized
in the name Of the town-Evanston. For
AZ years he was chairman of the board of
trustees of the university. DIR. Evans was
one of the promoters of the Chicago &
Fort Wayne railroad and was for years
its managing director in Chicago. In 1862
President Lincoln appointed him COVER
nor Of Colorado, and since that time he
has been one of the prominent citizens
Of the state.

"Old IrOnsides."
qllet.'

It has again become a question
whether the frigate Constitution, "Old
Ironsides," the capturer of four YES
sells of war in the war of 1872 and the
heroine of other encounters, shall be
broken up. The question Of either
breaking her up or of removing her
from the Portsmouth navy-yard to
Washington and converting her into a
naval museum has lately been debated
in Congress, but as we write no con-
clusion has yet been reached.
OF course the question appears to be
wholly one of sentiment, for no ma
terial use would be served by keeping
the old frigate in existence, and only
expense involved.
But certain sentiments are quite as
useful as any material proceedings
whatever. Sentiments which serve to
nourish love of country and build up
the national character are too valuable
to measure in dollars and cents. The
rescue of this famous old frigate on q
former occasion was Worth-through
the poem of Oliver Wendell Holmes
alone, which saved "Old Ironsides," in
1S3O-the equivalent of millions of dol
lars in the bone and sinew Of American
patriotism. =:
Would it not be hard for patriotic
American schoolboy ever again to de-
claim this stirring poem if, after all,
the frigate Constitution should be
broken up and sold for fireWood and
old iron?

INDIAN SCARE UNCALLED FOR.

der for Troops.

Washington, July 5.-Adjutant Gener-
al Breck has received telegram from
General Coppinger, commanding the de-
partment of the Platte, dated Omaha,
Neb., July 2, in regard to the alleged In
uian troubles at Camas prairie, contain
ing the following interesting details:
Lieutenant Irwin, Fort Hall agent,
wires from Haley Idaho) that the re
ports of Indian trouble at Camas prairie
have proved without foundation; tnat no
more than 40 Indians Lcmhis and Sho-
snones), including women and children,
are in that vicinity and have committed
no depredations; that he knows them to
be peaceable Indians, and that no troops
will be needed
''In view of the above information
from reliable officers on the spot, | have
revoked the order for the movement of
the Fort Robinson squadron to Haley.
Lieutenant Colonel Randall will be at
the latter place today and assist in
Strengthening out matters there. The
Lemhi agent wires he has been inform
ed that five of his Indians were, with
their families, absent from the reserva-
ton, and are supposed to be in the vi
cinity of Camas prairie, while passing
through deserted villages, entered a
house and tore Innings off the walls, and
may have committed other depredations.
He says he has sent the Indian police in
pursuit with instructions to have the In
dians return the stolen things at once
and to return the Indians to the agency.
He fears no hostile demonstrations and
says these Indians will commit thefts,
but are inoffensive. This seems to be the
basis for the complaints made to the
governor of Idaho.
