THE FACE ON THE BUTTON.
The Guessing Clings Quite Persistent

free to all who have in their posses

ents. The Carnival Committee states
positively that the picture is taken
from photograph of a Topeka young
lady, and the likeness will be proven on
the night of the Carnival ball.
The young lady is unmarried. Her
hair is not blonde as the picture would
indicate. This was a liberty taken by
the button makers and it was too late
TO remedy. The real young lady's hair
is a light brown.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the result 1t is not too late yet to make
the guesses.
So far a young lady of graceful car
riage, having brown eyes and who is
tasteful dresser, has received the most
votes. Next to her is another young
lady who is also handsome and one VINO
is employed in a downtown office. An
other candidate is a tall young lady who
lives in the southwestern part of the
city.
In all % young ladies have been voted
as the ones whose face adorns the hand

but one vote, while several large

The Carnival committee is anxious to
have a large vote cast, and A. W. Dana
suggests that maybe the right one has
not yet been named. The voting les
free Much interest ought to be ae-
tached to it if the lady who receives tbs
most votes were selected as the maid

100000 A TON
Is the Value Given to Ore from q New
Cripple Creek Find

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. 14-Col
H. S. Ervay has just brought from
Cripple Greek a piece of ore weighing
over 100 pounds, which is literally alive
with free gold, and which will carry
values aggregating fully 100000 to the
ton.
The ore was taken from a new find
made Saturday and is in many respects
the most sensational ever made in Grip
pie Creek The rich rock was uncover
ed at depth of only six feet.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the new find, as the Cripple
Creek formation has all along been
thought to be of such a nature as to
preclude the possibility of gold exist
ing in such abundance in the country
rock.
