ia enjoyable for bathing at all times of
the year, day and night. In cold wealth
er the vapor from the water rises and
protects the head from cold. The en-
frances from bath houses are 80 ar
ranged that bathers can enter and
come out of pool through warm COW
cred passages, reaching right down to
the water, 80 that there is no exposure
to the cold air. 1t is q novel sight In
winter to see people bathing in the
open air during snow storm and with
perfect safety. The bath houses are
heated and have douches, cold show
ers, etc., to take after bathing.
The caves are natural ones heated
by springs coming out OF the rocks.
The temperature is about 1900. What
strikes those taking baths the first
time is how quickly the perspiration rs
started, much more readily than in a
Turkish bath of much higher temper
ature, which makes the cave enjoya-
nle and without the oppressive feeling
which many experience in Turkish
baths.
At first sight Glenwood Springs
gives the impression of being shut in
by mountains, but In reality there are
numerous roads and trails for driving,
riding and walking; good elk and deer
hunting in fall; and trout fishing. A
fine polo ground (games seven months
in the year) as well as numerous other
amusements and sights.

GENERAL NEWS
GATHERED FROM FAR AND NEAR
AND HIGHLY INTERESTING
TO THE PUBLIC.
The Trouble in Crete Unsettled-More
Troops Ordered to the Hawiian
Islands-ltems of Foreign and
Domestic Nature.

A dispatch from Athens says the
trouble in Crete is not settled. The
Basin Bazouks are committing excess
es and the Christians in the surround-
ing districts are arming to march to
the assistance of the Canadians. There
are eight warships in the harbor and a
fresh bombardment is expected. The.
British, German and Spanish consul
lates have been looted, and thus far
800 native Christians and 81 British
subjects have been killed.
The Asty says it learns from an
authentic source that as soon as the
British troops arrive at Canada from
Malta the Turkish garrison in Canada
will be expelled, martial law pro-
claimed and the riugleaders of the
riots put on trial and probably hanged
it found guilty.
1t is said President Mckinley will
hold in check both Miles and Alger
and that he will gently reprove the
commander. If warning is needed
controversy will be dropped, other
wise the President will act with vigor.
When Miles reached Washington
Alger left the capitol. He has asked
for thorough investigation. We
shall see what we shall gee.
The uproar at Madrid has led to
the exercise of more caution at Wash
ington. The army will be prepared
for all eventualities and the troops
that 60 to Havana will be prepared to
suppress any possible rising. Until
peace actually has been ratified half
of the volunteer army will be retained
in the service.

1t has been known for some tim.
that the growth of our city has DO.

although a large one is capable of
accommodating four hundred on
more pupils, the increase has been
so great that other arrangements
had to be made to build additiona.
rooms to accommodate the pupils
Some two years ago the Board
erected a 75x40 brick building, to re
lieYe the over-crowded condition of
the school room, and this session
they find that the enrolment cal
not be accommodated in these
buildings and they have let out the
contract for another brick building
which is to be 75x3O divided into
two rooms, which it is believed will.
give the school children plenty OF
room without being crowded
This building will cost over o
thousand dollars and the contract
has been let to c. J. Hollis, With
the understanding that it must be
completed by September l. We
learn from Professor Winham that
one of these rooms will be used as a
recitation room, while the other
one will house the Seventh Grade
This building will stand north Of the
new brick building ana will run

We applaud our School Board for

There is more Cataarh in this sec

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
taarh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

stitutionaI cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10

two vessels shortly appeared in the
harbor of Havana after the Maine

And now, if they can be rescued
from the sea and put into service
against Spain, there is not an
American seaman who would not
like to accept service on them, and
thus make their victory the more

SPECIAL REVENUE STAMPS.
The Demand Grows Greater Day by
DaY Recent Ruhngs

Instead on dlmiuisnlnbi the ut-
maud for special war revenue
stamps at the local collectors Of
ice Is increasing day by day. Col
Iector Hunt said Yesterday alter.
noon that he had deposited in a
local bank over $4,000. OF this
sum over $4,000 was received from
the sale of adhesive revenue stamps,
between the hours Of 9 a. m. aud
p. p. m. yesterday. The collector
also said that he had a fair supply
of stamps on hand, considering the
demand.
The following are some OF the
latest rulings by Commissioner n,
B. Scott on the construction to be
placed on the new law:
Certificates of any description
required by law not otherwise spec
flied in this act, 10 cents. The
first requirement necessary to sub
iect any given certificate thus gen.
orally described to tax is that il
shall be one which is required to be-
given by Law, national, state OF
municipal. All such are taxable
except those coming within the ex
emption of section II, that is to say
those which are given strictly in
the exercise of the functions-goy
ernmental, taxing or municipal-o.
the state are corporation. Certif
Gates given by an officer, not for Z
public or governmental purpose
but for private interests and use
are liable to the tax if they art
given in obedience to any law which
requires them to be given wher
called for. A certificate of searct
showing that the dockets or records
of court have been searched anC
show either that liens exist or d.
not exist as to property, or thai
judgments are recored or are moi
recorded and also certificates o.
search to ascertain whether or nCt
titles are good, whether, taxes have
been paid and other certificates Of
this character are not such as are
required in the general discharge Of
governmental functions on the pant
of the officers giving them, but are
such as are needed for private ust
and private interests and are
therefore, subject to the tax as
being required by law to be giver
when called for. If the act per
formed or the certificates issued by
the officer is in the discharge of al
official function necessary in oper
ating the general machinery of the
government it is exempt.
43. Certificates of acknowledgment
of deeds and mortgages are not re
quired to be stamped. The memo
randum on the back of mortgage
made by the register or recorder
that the instrument has been placed
upon record, is not a subject OF
taxation. 1t is not a certificate
such as IS contemplated by the law
1t is a brief note on the back of the
deed or mortgage citing date OF
fling and date and place Of record.
A. Certificates of birth, mar.
riage and death, given in pursuance
of the laws OF the state requiring
the collection and registration OF
vital statistics as a basis for the ad-
ministration of public health laws,
come within the exemption of sec
ton II. Such certificates, how
ever, when issued to private per
sons for private use are subject to
the 10 cent stamp tax.
