New York. Feb. 15.-The ma

The rotten manipulation Of MetropOl-

is probable that the public will draw
conclusions from the remarkable weak

make them shy of il for long time. AS
the public is what the manipulation is
meant to reach, this would surely mean
that the pool support would disappear.

After Mondays slump, when the news
that Spain had apologized came, the

Hans ]. Johnson was born

Hans ]. Johnson was born in
Norway, August 81, 1852, and was
nearly 70 years old at the time of
his death. BY trade he was a car
penter, and was employed for
several years as foreman in the
Burlington shops at Plattsmouth,
Nebraska. On account of his
wife's health he resigned his posi-
ton and came to Holyoke, Colo. /,
where he engaged in farming and
stock raising. He came to La
Junta in May 1897, and entered
the Santa Fe shops. His charac-
ter and mechanical skill were ap-
preciated by the company and he
was rapidly promoted until he was
given the finest work to be done in
his line. He practically rebuilt
Supt. Dyer's special car. He did
some Of the fine carpenter work in
the interior OF our court house.
He assisted in the organization
Of the Presbyterian church of
Holyoke, Colo, July %, 1892, and
was ordained as elder at that time.
His conscientious and pure Chris
tian life won for him the esteem
and friendship Of all who knew
him. During his stay at La Junta
he took an active part in Christian
work in the church and Sabbath
school, and also assisted the elders
in the sacramental services on
several occasions. Although a
hard working man he found time
to devote to his Masters service,
and his kind words and good ex-
ample will long be remembered by
those who came in contact with
him. The trials and hardships of
life only served to draw him nearer
to his Savior.
