Denver. Jan. 10.--An extraordinary CON-
troversy has started IN this city with me
daily pagers on one side and fourteen OF
ehe largest dry goods. clothing and de-
partment stores on the other. No adver-
tisement Of any OF these firms appeared
IN todayis papers and formal notice has
been given t1at none will appear until
the rapers accede to the demands of tho
merchants.
Last week the business managers OF the
dailhs were Informet that the DEPART
nent store combination had arbitrarily
decided that advertising rates must be re-
Ciuced about % per cent The firms de-
clined to enter into a discussion Of the
Justice Of the demand. simply stating thnt
they had gwen their ultimatum They
control about 50 per cent OF the regular
city advertising and believe that the pa
pers must submit 20 their dictatIon. The
newspapers replied that concessions TO
the autocTatic order was not only impos-
sfble. for business reasons. but would de-
stroy the Independence Of thesprcss.
The first result Of the contest Is the pas
sage Of resolution by the Trades AS
sembly calling on the city council to inn
pose a heavy license on tte department
stores and warning all members OF the
labor unions against them. The smaller
merchants are taking advantage OF the
opportunity TO Increase their advertising.
In Denver. as in other cities. the de-
partment stores have been crushing the
smaller stores and the latter are exceed
ingly glad Of chance to cut into the bust
ness OF their rivals. There was no-
ticeable decrease in the size OF the usual

With the close of the Civil War, came
the abolition of slavery. The elder
generation of the Southern people nat
urally retained their hatred of the
fire brands" The younger generation
did not manifest the same intensity of
hatred.
When it was announced that THE

gagged to be married to the son of one
Of these wicked Abolitionists,'' there
was much resentment expressed at first
in the Southern press. But the people
loved the girl, and felt that her choice

The doctrine of the Capitalization of

servative, thickly settled State of Mas

it is the outgrowth of the belief that

WINNIE DAVIS.

At Richmond Va, on September 23rd
was buried, with pathetic services
Miss Winnie Davis, the daughter OF
Jefferson Davis, and known since the
war as The Daughter of the Confede-
racv." Upon no woman in the Southern
States, were the thoughts and good
wishes of the people so steadily hXed
as upon her. She became an outlet for
the feelings and sympathies of many
thousands who lost so much, and
suffered so intensely in the Lost
Cause"
A singular and almost romantic in
cident in her life, was her marriage
engagement about seven years ago to
Mr.. May, a young lawyer, and son
of the noted abolition preacher Sam1
J. May of Syracuse. The hatred of the
people of the South, and of a majority
of the people of the North was concen-
rison, Phillips, May and other aboli-
tionists. The younger generation do
not realized the intensity of that hat
red. These abolitionists were socially
ostracized in the North. Good So
ciety'' refused to receive them. Con-
servative men regarded them as fire
brands. At the same time there was
a class of men and women, throughout
the country, sincere in their hatred of
slavery, but possessing moderate

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES.

For neuralgia apply hot, dry flannels-
as hot as can be borne.
Nervous spasms are usually controlled
by little salt taken into the mouth
and allowed to dissolve.
Broken limbs should be placed in
natural positions and the patient kept
quiet until the arrival of the physician.
All salads possess medical qualities.
Lettuce induces sleep, chicory is laxa-
tive, watercress tonic and celery a
nerve food.
Cramps in the stomach Ssus:;y yield
to a teaspoontul of ginger stirred in a
glass of hot water in which a half-tea-
spoonful of soda has been dissolved.
For poison oak or ivy take a handful
of quicklime, dissolve in water and
paint the poisoned part with it. Two
or three applications will odinarily cure
the most stubborn case.
For nose bleed bathe the face and
neck with cold water, and, rolling a lit
tie piece of white paper in a tight roll.
place it under the upper lip, where it
Will press against the gum. If the
bleeding does not readily yield, plug
the nostrils with a soft roll of cotton
cloth.
IN case of fainting place the body in
horizontal position, with the head
low; sprinkle cold water on the face,
neck and chest; loosen the clothing and
expose the patient to fresh air. Cam
phor or ammonia applied to the nostrils
will also prove eG:cacious, though the
latter must be used with caution.
Don't keep the sun out Of your living
and sleeping rooms. Sunlight is abso-
lutely necessary for a right condition
Of the atmosphere that we breathe and
for our bodily wei being. Don't sleep
in the same fiannels that you wear dur
ing the day. Don't wear thin socks or
light soled shoes in cold or wet weather.

session at the capitol this week.
The total number of inmates pres

12O, compared to 96 the previous
year. The present number in the
home is l4l.
The commissioners this year be-
lievc that the home can he run even
with greater economy than last,
and are proud that despite the fact
that they were cut short 50, 500 on
the appropriation for last year.
they run within the amount they
had at their disposal and paid all
bills promptly at the end of the
month.
There have been several bids
submitted which are being con
sidercd and out of which the con
tracts will be let. Three firms
from Monte Vista put in II bid for
clothing and there were besides
two from Philadelphia. The COM
missioncrs find that they can pur-
chase clothing ut $50 suit ms
against Ss.35 last year. which they
consider quite reasonable when the
increase of woolcn clothes is taken
into consideration.
Three firms from Monte Vista
also put in bids for groceries. fish,
meat and other provisions. The
bids for shoes, undcrclothing. etc,
also came from Monte Vista firms,
but the commissioners have not vet
decided which to Let the contracts
