This is absolutely false and when Mr..
White circulates that statement he is
circulating pure and simple falsehood.
Neither he nor his wife can buy my bus

in-law) came into my store yesterday
and without introducing herself, she
said she said she wished to buy some
flowers. She had an old hat sack In her
hand with all old hat in it. She looked
through and priced everything l had

It does not lie In the painters fancy to
imagine .prettier picture than that of a
young girl, with lips luscious with the
promise of love, half parted in the smiles
Of happy drcamland. The mind of happy
maidenhood is clear and polished mirror,
which. when the wits go wandering into the
ghostland of dreams, reflects the impress
sions of waking hours. If those impress.
sions are pleasant and painless and happy,
she will smile in her sleep. If the impress
sions are those of suffering woman, tor
tured with the special ailments to which
the feminine organism is liable, the picture
is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de-
spondcncy. Maladies Of tiiis nature unfit
woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca
pable motherhood. They incapacitatc her
to bear the burdens of life in any sphere
of action. Household, marital and social
duties alike are a burden to the woman who
is constantly suffering from headaches,
backaches, dragging sensations and weak
eninR drains. DR.. Piercc's Favorite Pre-
scription positively, completely, unfail-
ingly cures troubles of this nature. It
imparts health, strength, vigor to the dis
tinctly womanly organs. It fits for care
free. healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood
and capable motherhood.

The Fee Convention meets at Pue

The Fee Convention meets at Pue-
10 tom ,.r,w, My 81 OF this meet
ing the Denver News says: "The pur-
pose Of this convention is to consider the
fees and salaries pad to state, district,
county and city officials, and to inangu-
rate movement before the next legisla-
ture which shall result in their reduction
to basis where they will be less bur-
densome to the taxpaying public. and
less of "private snap" to those who fill
official positions. II tho fact is recalled
TINT in all commercial and financial posi-
tions salaries have been reduced with the
hard times that have prevailed since 1893
and that the emoluments of public Off
GERS have not been reduced, the disparity
between public and private salaries be-
comes at once evident The Inter are
SO large that aspirants for these positions
can nfford to spend money to obtain
them. This form OF legalized robbery OF
the taxpaying public has continued long
enough, and the time has come when a
reduction OF both fees and salaries should
be made. Public services should be
paid on the same basis OF economy MS
private services are paid. This will be
the demand of the Pueblo convention, in
the success OF which the general busi-
ness public has direct personal inter-
est, aud the outcome OF which should be

The present war with Spain is with
out a parallel in history. Glory is not
sought, neither is conquest desired, but
the war is in the interest of humanity.
The anguish of women and little child
rem are the impelling forces, and the alle-
Walton OF human suffering and the liber-
ation Of those who are oppressed are the
objects of this country in the present
conflict. Tho lives of men and the ex-
penditure OF money is an exhibition Of
national unselfshness the like Of which
the world has never before seen, and the
United States is worthy Of greater esteem
among the nations OF tho world than
ever bsfore.

Three weeks ago the Enterprise
published a letter from Hon. j. H.
Crowley in which he spoke in glowing
terms Of the brilliant prospects for an

Since Mr.. Crowley wrote the valley has

had several frosts. But we are pleased
to say that notwithstanding the threaten

The suggestion of feeding luscious
Rocky Ford cantnloupes to hogs calls to
mind the quotation, casting pearls be-
fore swine" Nevertheless, during the
shipping season there will be tons OF
culls which should be utilized by feeding
to hogs. Every cantaloupe grower
should have pen OF porkers to consume
the waste product OF his fields.

President Mckinley, just previous to
the declaration Of war, was subject to
considerable criticism for slowness, but
we suspect that the critics are now well
satisfied that the President was fully fast
enough. a peaceful nation like the
United States is not prepared for war at
the drop OF a hat, as European powers
are. Hence the necessity for getting
ready before undertaking such costly
job as war, even with thlrd-class power.

and having a stove, which will lessen ma
terially the hardships and discomforts of
one of these trips. With the end in view OF
having transportation of some sort for nee
essary articles for these winter scouting
parties it was believed that the reindeer
recently purchased by the government for
the Klondike relief party, which was sub
sequently abandoned, could be used to ad-
vantage and accordingly a letter was ad-
dressed to the department asking, If prac-
ticable, that a few be sent for this pur-
pose. 1t is unfortunate that these animals
were so located that they could not be sent,
for in the use of these animals or in sledge
dogs lies the solution of winter work in the
park.
Streams and Lakes Stocked.
Many streams ard lakes were stocked in
1889, 1890 1898 and 1895, have multiplied
abundantly, and in spite of the enormous
quantity caught yearly,an those destroyed
by animals and birds, there is apparently
an ample quantity yet in all the streams
An effort was made to have hatchery es-
tablished in the park believing this to be the
most appropriate and suitable place in the
United States, this is the reservoir drain
ed by the principal rivers of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans and fish planted in these
streams would, with natural conditions full
filled soon fill the streams outside the park,
but the United States fish commission did
not deem it advisable Later on this year
bass planted in certain lakes in the park
nave survived; none as yet have been
caught, and 1t is possible that they may
may have perished for want of proper food.
There are certain waters in the park that
will afford ample food for them, and if
possible these waters will be stocked.
There is no finer trout fishing in the world
than that of the waters of the park, and it
is free to all
The park as game and fish preserve
has not it's equal in the world; the variety
is great, and it is eminently fitted to sus
tain this variety under the protection Of
the government. An increase in appro-
priation means an increase in the means
and facilities of protection, and as ma
tional game preserve, which not only holds
secure the remaining wild animals and
game birds of this country, but enables
them to breed and multiply, thus supplying
the needs of neighboring states, it is de-
serving of an increased fund for this pur-
pose This leaves out entirely it's charm
as a pleasure ground for the tourist, with
it's wonderful natural phenomena. To
maintain both of these conditions there is
but one inadequate appropriation for the
park, viz, that for its protection and i'm

DESTITUTION AT MATASZAS.
Major Niskern Tells of the Demand
for Food.

Major Albert Decatur Niskern of the
comrlissary department. L. S. army,
has returned from Matanzas, where he
was a commissary officer for the distribu-
tion of supplies of the government fur
nished to the starving Cubans.
Major Niskern reached New York Fri
Cay morning on the Comal, the last Unit ed
States transport to be turned over to its
owners by the government.
The ComaI was loaded at Tampa with
100000 rations, besides a quantity Of
meat and bread furnished by the commits
Sary department of the army, and sent to
Havana, where she arrived on the 9th of
Al gust. The expedition was under the
command of Capt. Lotus Niles, ID Artil-
lery.
when we arrived at Matanzas,' said
Mai. Niskern to a Star reporter today,
We were told by the people there that
probably 1000 people In the city would
want rations. They told us that the town
Lad contained population of 10000 peo-
pie, which number had dwindled 10 5000.
In the city alone We gave ratiOns for $4,000
people. The only explanation We could
make for the additional number of people
was that many had come into the city from
the surrounding country, which, of course,
We did not object to- as it made the work
Of feeding them much easier. The addi-
tional ratiOns were distributed Throughout
two districts outside the city.
What will the people there do when this
thirty days supply has been exhausted?''
Maj. NiSkern was asked.
THAT IS question that was considered
while We were there" he replied. THE
country outside of MatanZas is devastated
People will not go into the country until

THE thirty-day ration we left In MatanZas
| was big ration, and some people thought

| After our arrival we employed a number

made pile of perhaps three hundred

Good Health of the Marines.

Good Health of the Marines.
Capt Chas. L. McCawley, assistant quar-
termaSter L. S. NJ. c.. who was with the
marine battalion at Guantanamo, Cuba,
has made a report to the colonel command
ant, in which he gives 1t his opinion
that much of the excellent health of the
battalion while in Cuba was due to the
fact that distilled water only was used for
drinking and cooking. There We're other
elements that entered into the good health
of both officers and men, chief of which
were the excellent sanitary arrangements,
the use by officers and men of the light
weight wooden underwear, and the absence
of tropical fruits from the vicinity of our
camp and the fact that the men were at
all times supplied with proper and sufficient
food and clothing, and it was these that
enabled us to bring home 9S per cent of the
battalion fit for duty.

year later pirates under the leadership
of the notorious Jacob Sores attacked
the town, sacked It's church and the
dwellings of the wealthy and compelled
the commander of the fortress to sur
render. Sores soon grew tired Of the
place and withdrew. But his example
was frequently followed, and numer
Gus attempts were made by buccaneers
to capture the city and loot 1t. Notable
among these efforts was that Of the En-
glish buccaneer, Sir Francis Drake,
who assaulted Havana in 1885, but was
compelled to retire. The first scourge
Of yellow fever appeared in the ship
ping during the summer Of 1851. In
1862 Admiral Pocock, with an English
squadron, attacked Havana and forced
1t to capitulate For two months the
city put up brave defense. In 1903
Havana was restored to the Spanish by
the treaty Of Paris.
The first newspaper published in Ha-
vana was La Gaceta de la Habana,
which appeared in 1882. In 1883 the
Jesuits were expelled from the city,
and their church was converted into
the cathedral Of the diocese. This Is

Of Columbus were deposited In the year

the commerce Of the world.

oulnlne as a Protection Against Chole

Ouinlne as Protection Against Cholera.
DR.. Laurie, a physician well known
in India, long ago asserted that he
would stake his reputation on the eff
flcacy of quininc "a q prophylactic
against cholera. A f1ve-grain dose OF
this drug every morning while the
disease is about is, he held, sure
preventive. During the epidemic OF
cholera in India last year, DR.. Hehir
made certain Investigations which
resulted in the discovery of the pres
ence In the blood, ETC., of cholera pa
tients, of peculiar parasitic proto-
zoon or microbe, although whether
this is the cause or result Of the dis
ease has yet to be determined. He
found that this organism could not
live in strong solutions Of quinine.
and he further found that the pro-
tectiye virtues of quinine were amply
demonstrated during the epidemic.
He now commits himself unreseryed-
ly to the opinion expressed BY DIR.
Laurie, and recommends the use OF
quinine as a prophylactic in addition
to sulphurous acid. 1t has been his
practice for years to administer one
drachm doses of acid every three
hours to all the inmates Of house in
which the disease breaks out during
the time the patient Is in the house.
He has given it in about 1000 in
stances, and for the last three years
he has not seen cholera occur In any
case in which it was used. If quinine
is really the effective prophylactic
against cholera that these eminent
authorities have such excellent cause
to Believe it to be, this fell disease
has lost its terrors, for nothing is
easier aud less harmful than taking
five-grain dose of the drug during
the endemic of the disease.
