was born on a farm in Illinois in 1855.
When he was % years of age he came to
Colorado, and he has claimed this state as
his home ever since. He began work as
a wiper in the employ of the Denver
and Rio Grande, and was soon promoted to
the position of fireman, with run over
the most picturesque route in the state,
that over Marshall pass. Up to this time
he had never written a line either of poetry
r. prose, and he claims that all his inspi-
Ntion was gained from the grandeur of the
scenery on his run. He said that he could
not help writing poetry any more than
he could help running his engine over the
pass and his little verses, crude, but
unique soon found their way to the pub
lie. In 1888 he began the publication at
Salida of a paper for railroad men called
''The Frog which was so successful that
he brought the office down to Denver. He
acquired great local reputation for his
verses which first appeared In this paper,
but which were copied all over the state.
He liked journalism and when the Creole
excitement broke out he established a
daily in that mining camp. His paper
attained a national reputation, not for its
news articles, which were somewhat less
thaN mediocre, but for his verses. The at
tenS.on of Charles A. Dana, of the New
York Sun, was called to them, and in re-
spouse to an offer, Warman soon began
writing regularly for it's columns. Among
the verses that appeared was little poem

CYf WARMAN,
The New, Fresh and Breezy Writer From the
Rockies.

From the Denver Times.
A decade or two ago. when people were
looking to the west for inspiration, there
were two gods in literature. One, man
who has made himself immortal in poetry
and prose ut particularly in The latter, was
Bret Harte, whose stories Of mining camps
in California were so true to life, and SO
different from those which had preceded
them, that he Immediately sprang into a
prominence which he still holds; the poet
of the west was Joaquin Miller, the Poet
of the Sierras," whose verses on the beau
ties of the western wilderness are unique.
Both men are still living and writing, but
for new clientele Another has taken
their places, and in one man, of younger
generation, are united the gifts of story
and of verse that made the regulations
of the Californians.
One of the most widely read authors of
the day is. Cy Warman, of Denver. The
Poet of the Rockies as he is termed, is
still young man, but he already has an
enviable reputation, and-what is more to
the point-an envable income. Warman

entitled Sweet Marie" few months
later Ramon Moore, the tenor with George
Thatchers "Texedo' company, was in the
city. He wanted a new song and Frank
Hartman gave him the clipping from the
Sun, containing these verses. Moore liked
them, set them to music and made an ar
rangement with Warman as to the shar-
ing of the profits A peculiar thing about
1t was that Hartman, who is photograph
fiend, and who at that time was receiving
a great many new records found in lot
of new songs one entitled Sweet Marie"
He sent for Warman and the poet heard
his song sung for the first time by the
monograph.
This is what first gave Warman fame.
He became known far and wide as the au-
thor of Sweet Marie and he was del
uged with requests for verses, which he
had no difficulty in complying with. The
song became one of the most popular OF its
day, and Warman's receipts from it during
the first year of publication were 1885 for
the first three months 81 $50 for the second
three months, and over $4,000 for the last
six months. He still draws good royalties
from it.
His inspiration for the song was a young
woman, Miss Myrtle Marie Jones, whom he
married in May, 1892 Warman published
a volume of verses two years before this,
entitled Mountain Melodies" which, how
ever, was not decided success. His rep
utation being established by this song he
found ready market for all of his pub
locations. and after his return from Eu
ropean trip he settled in New York as
better field of operations, although he stifi
claims Denver as his home. He soon be-
gan writing stories, and they are even In
greater demand than are his verses Be-
ing an old railroader. he naturally has
good fund of stories of the rail, and these
are in equal favor with his tales of the
mining camps, which now find their way
to many of the syndicates, which assures
him a wide field of readers. During the
past few years Warman has written
number of clever verses on railroad sub
jects, which were published about year
ago under the title of Rhymes of the
Rail-" book which has had an enormous
sale
The poet has not. however, given up
writing ballads, of which he has number
of beautiful verses, three of which will
shortly be published by Joe Newman, who
has set them to music. He has also writ
ten a number of coon melodies, among
which was very popular little song called

THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English Scientist, Con.
sidered the Best Start in Life.

The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food prop
erly because they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochoric)
and-peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy In all cases of indigestion, is
to take after each meal one or two of Stu
arts Dyspeptic Tablets because they sup
ply in a pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food we'll digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full sized pack

g6Id Brick Spindle

A Montreal dispatch of recent date says: Incidental to the Klondike gold fever comes a story from Calgary, N. w. T., that Mir. McGregor, manager of the Molson bank of this city, had been made the victim of a new and daring gold brick swinde. He thought dis covery of gold had been made near Cal gary which would startle the world.
 A man registered at one of the hotels Tn Calgary and announced himself as a United States government assayer from Montana He made many friends among the best people in the place. Ten days afterwards miner came to town and confided to Mir. McGregor that he had found an immense rich mine He then unfolded an old blanket and brought out gold brick, which he valued at about 15 ,O00$, and which he wanted to realize upon so as to obtain sufficient money to work the mines.
 The manager bethought himself of the expert and some of the gold out of the center of the brick was assayed and re- ported upon as up to expectations.
 MT McGregor then bought the brick for about 12.OO0$, and as soon as the money was pald the miner and his ac complice escaped. Shortly after it was found that there was very little gold in the brick, the remainder being brass alloy. Mir McGregor has resigned

Sometimes people build better than they know; this is not often. Far oftnei | rhey make d mess of matters. Those
 who build the tariff bill have not builded better than they knew. Aside from the
 mess made by section P, the high duties nposed on foreign products have in- duced much talk of retaliationby several countries. The latest country to talk it is Argentina. In his message to the Argentina congress President Urbuyeau advocates retaliation against the United States by increasing the duties on those articles imported tron thls country. Ia his message the president specifies par ticularly as articles on which the duties should be largely increased petroleum, tim Der, ploughs, ploughshares and all agricultural implements and machinery which are imported largely from he United States. Higher duties, the pres ldent says, sh uId be imposed because of the recent difficulties which the Ding. ley tariff has thrown Tn the way of ex portation from his country to the United States

Mohave county will produce more gold in 1897-S than any other county in Arizona. The mines of Cerbat will soon be sending out bars of yellow metal that will as tonish the natives. In that local ity alone will be produced in the neighborhood of two million dol lurs a year for many years to come. The mines are big and the grade of the ore is exceptionally high. The Eureka shows an ore body from seven to nine feet in width and over three hundred feet in length that averages five ounces in gold to the ton. Other mines show ore bodies of from one foot to ten feet in width that will pay well in a mill. The Cerbat mine is one of the big properties that some day will be producing millions of dol lars yearly. The ledge is big and strong and the ore an excellent grade to mill. In Todd and Union Basins are many lodges carrying gold in paying quantities, notably the Gro Plata and Union mines. The investment of capital and in telligent management will bring to the front many big producers in the Cerbat range. A few successes will bring the capital.

4 terrible wreck occurred on the Santa Fe railroad, near Emporia, Kansas, Wednesday eve"ing last. Eleven people were killed and many injured. The wreck was caused by headend coll sion be- tween east and west bound pas senger trains, When the engines came together the three locomot- ives pulling the trains exploded, tearing a great hole in the ground and almost burving the mass of twisted iron and steel out of sight. The baggage and express cars were stove into splinters and the day coaches of both trains were wrecked. The trains were running forty miles an hour when they came to- gether. The shock was terrific, tearing seats loose from the cars and tearing planking loose from the floor. Mail and express cars were destroyed by fire from the en- zines.
