London. June 1.-Eastcrn affairs ap-
pear TO have reached the drifting stage.
The exact position as TO the armistice
negotiations In not yet clear. Evident
ly 1t is the object of Turkey to create
delays to discover any latent weakness
In the European concert. During tnc
councils of ministers mt the Iii0iA
Kiosk the peace conditions have GER
tainly been discussed, but all mentloh
OF Thessaly is studiously avoided. Inc
assumption seems to he that Thessaiy
belongs to Turkey by conquest. ana
that that there Ia nothing more 10 DC
said on the subject. The powers Will
have to show a united and very ener-
getic front before the Sultan Will re-
cede from this position.
In the meantime, in order to remove
the impression that she rejects all the
peace proposals, Greece has sent an
other note to her representatives
abroad. repeating that she Is prepared
to acquiesce in the decisions OF the
powers, but that the payment OF a
large indemnity Is Impossible. Queen
Olga and the Princess Sophia left Attn
ems by the royal yacht en- route for the
camp Of the crown prince to partici-
pate in the celebration OF the anniver-
sary Of his name day. 1t Is reported
in some quarters that the crown prince
will sail shortly for London.
Edhem Pasha, having sent the aide
de-camp whom the Sultan appointed
to watch him, back to Constantinople
under escort as spy. the officer was
forthwith promoted by the Sultan.
a dispatch to the Times from Con-
stantinople says there is strong reason
for believing that Bulgaria is exerting
an influence to induce the Sultan to
transform Macedonia into an autOno-
nous province under an imperial
prince.

An interesting dietary experiment is
being made in the woman's department
Of the University of Chicago. The
women who served with food similar
to that served to mems athletic teams
when in regular training All the food
Is carefully weighed and analyzed be-

ranged according to their relative val

must eat the precise amount of fat and

found by careful study to be needed by
the human system. and eating too
much is an evil which is especially

The following definition of a bucket

Quoted nominally and ostensibly for
the transaction of a grain or stock ex-
change business. but the proprietor
takes one side of every deal that is
made in his place. while the patron
takes the other side-no article being
bought or sold in any public market.
The margins deposited with the buck
st shop" proprietor by the patron. are
nothing but the patrons stakes to the
wager and are appropriated by the pro-
prietor when the fluctuations OF price
reach the limit of the deposit-one par

charged by the "bucket-shop" are odds
In its favor. and necessary in order to

bucket shop" proprietor is ready TO
take all deals offered on any commodity
that fiuctuates in price. he may call
himself a commission merchant or dis
guise his business under the form of
corporation enterprise, or exchange.
bu, he is still common gambler. The
interest OF proprietor OF a bucket
shop is at all times opposed TO that of
his patrons. as the profits Of the shop
ere measured by the loss OF the pa
irons. Bucket shops are condemned
as criminal and perniclous by statute
In almost every state In the union. They

scarcely related to the above and yet
useful perhaps to you in filling you
with the dignity of living. The grain
OF the present fields has, under cult
walton, advanced somewhat upon the
!, grain of the ancients. Its needs are
better understood, etc. Yet Its posi-
bilities are only sight. But what
about human being, yourself for in
stance? When maize was already
maize and the beaver already built its
dam, your ancestors and mine were
savages dwelling in caves. The seed
and the beast are still the same, but
man is monarch of the earth, is assault
ing the air, and is bombarding the
heavens with his scientific instruments.
Look at Nature around for many les
sons, but look at man and his attain
ments to be thrilled with the glories of
humanity. To think that the little
cooling infant, personally just as ignor-
ant, as and more feeble than the cooling
infant of the early ages, can so drink
in the accumulated wisdom of all time,
that few years study enables him to
start where the great before him have
left off-astronomy in relation to New
ton for instance-will make you mar
vel that any should speak unworthily
of our race or draw back from a share
In its deeds. It is above the
rest of animated nature. Where ami
mails combine for defence, always in
the same way tor ages past, we move
forward into new combinations I'M
dreamed of by our ancestors but posi-
BILE by their own leadings in that d.
rectlon where animals show skill in
all the details OF their work, we show
greater as time passes and leap onward
from pinnacle to pinnacle Of ability
till the present day dawned. While
the race lasts, the same growth will
60 on if the same conditions are COM
piled with. The gains of the past fill
us with wOnderment and then comes
the longing for these eyes to see what
the eyes of our chlldren's' children
shall behold in their old age. The
heart reels in contemplation.

Keeping Pueblo City Warrants ut
Home

City Treasurer c. l.. Funk is doing a
good thing for the people OF the town
who have a little money to invest
While there is lots OF talk going on
about home patronage the city treasurer
says nothing but is doing much in an
odd way to help people along. City
warrants are selling at per cent premI-
um and they bear s per cent interest.
There is a scrau- ble for them from outside
parties because they are gilt edge in
vestment, but Chris gives preference to
our own citizens who care to invest.
He keeps list OF all who offer TO buy
city warrants and accommodates them in
turn. The investors thus get the war
rants direct and have no commission to
pay. which they would have TO do if
they secured the warrants through a
broker. Some warrants pass through
brokers hands where there is con
tract, and thus go east as in the case OF
warrants drawn for levee purposes, for
instance, but through Mr.. Funk's man
ipulation most Of them stay at home.
There are many who kindly remem-
ber these Accommodations from the city

FOR ANOTHER TERM.
Is not Afr aid to Run on His Record and
has Nothing to be Ashamed of

G. II. Quackenbush was elected alder
man from the Eighth ward two years
ago, and is now an aspirant for another
term. He is going 10 run on his record,
and is confident OF the endor sement of
his constituency. He has been consci-
entious and straightforward in all his
actions in the city council and none
ques tions his honesty.
One thing he takes especial pride in,
and that is that Bessemer has more
men in the employ Of the city than any
other patch OF territory within the city
limits, remembering that he had to do
for all of Bessemer until the Seventh
ward was carved from in.
Mr.. Quackenbush will always look
back with Just pride on the fact that he
was member Of the council that re
duced the city Indebtedness 100000 in
two years, He has been instrumental
in having a fair share Of the street work
of the city, and bridge repairing done in

for it. The residents of Besscmer are
for sewers lie also favors the owner
ship of the water works by the city, and
would be pleased to hear from the Pu-
eblo Water Co. as to what price they
place on their plant.
He has strong support, and says
that if his friends elect him for the ssc
ond term that he will be done with pol
itics and will help those to office who
assist him. He did not seek renomi-
nation, but now that he has consented
to enter the race he has the grit to go
after it good and hard.
