Interest 70 the Contest.

In the contest for the most popular
young lady in Canon City four have
found the thousand mark and others
are crowdirg near. The five leadsrs
seem to have system about bringing
in votes, keeping about SO far apart
each day. The pace set by Miss Dry
den has been q warm one from the be-
ginning, and it seemed at first that
she would win the prize without any
competition, but Things have changed
materially. While she retains her
place at the top Of the column, there
is possibility that the place will be
occupied by another. A few extra
votes added to either of the next
highest in the list would secure the
place.
ALI the prizes are worth the effort
that is being made to secure them
and it is source of pride to the con-
testants that they have such long
list Of admirerers.
Remember you can secure votes in
two ways:

coupon good for one vote. These
may be clipped and voted at pleasure

SEEKING SPANS FATE
REPUBLIC OF PERU is SAID TO BE
PURCHASING WAR VESSELS,
With the Possible View of Making q
States-A Comm cd ores Mission.

NEW YORK, Aug. lon the Panama
liner Advance, which reached this port to-
day, was Commodore Carlos Ferryros, of
the Peruvian navy, who is en- route to Paris
for the purpose. it is said, of purchasing
war ships for the Peruvian navy. Rumors
had been current in Panama prior to July
p, those on the Advance said, when Com
modore Ferryros arrived there on the steam
er Santiago from Callao. concerning a
strong agitation Throughout Peru against the
United States owing to differences between
the two countries existing since 1885, There
was, therefore, some significance in the ut
terance Of President Pierola at the opening
of the Peruvian Congress at Lima last
Thursday. During his address President
Pierola said that the national life of Peru
was calm and prosperous and that the for
ejgn relations of the government were
friendly with the solitary exception of an is
sue raised between Peru and the United
States dating from 1855. With respect to
those the President added that Peru had
been compelled to accept arbitration under
somewhat vexatious conditions in order to
avoid rupture and that negotiations were
still proceeding with the United States re-
specting modification of tariffs. During
the height of the anti-United States feeling
in Peru there was considerable talk about
North America being unable to protect it's
Pacific coast line on account of the Spanish
war and that Peruvian demonstration
Whereabouts might compel the United States
to modify her demands. 1t was also limited
that secret agents had been sent to Europe
for the purchase of war vessels and that an
important move might be made at an early
day. These rumors were partially confirmed
by Commodore Ferryros's admission that he
was on his way to Paris and that the OBJ
ject of his mission to Europe was to pur-
chase war ships for the Peruvian govern
ment No little excitement was caused in
Central America when the information that
Peru was taking steps to strengthen her
navy became known.

JERNEGAN IN PARIS.
The Alleged Swindler Not Arrested at
Havre on His Arrival There.

HAVRE, Aug 1.-The Rev. Prescott F.
Jernegan, the vice president and general
manager of the Electolytic Marine Salts
Company, for whose arrest on the charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses
warrant was issued in Boston on July 80, ar
rived here by the French line steamer
Navarro, at o'clock this morning. He was
not taken into custody owing, it is said, to
the lack of the necessary papers, and
started for Paris by train without being in
terfered with.
BOSTON, Aug. 1.-Considerable surprise
was expressed when news was received here
to-day that Rev. P. F. Jernegan, manager
of the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company,
whose affairs were considerably upset by
Mr.. Jernegan's unexpected departure for
Europe last week, had not been arrested
upon his arrival at Havre, France, to-day.
The police explained that this was proba-
bly, due to the fact that the charge of false
pretenses, on which his detention was asked
for, was not one for which he could be
extradited. Steps were at once taken here
to secure papers charging embezzlement, on
which an extradition can be secured. A
letter written by Mr.. Jernegan just before
deep solicitude lest the stockholders had
been hoodwinked by Fisher, who was asso-
ciated with Jernegan, was made public to-

If you read some English and American
papers it would appear that we Germans are
always laying in ambush waiting for
chance to do harm. Such tales are utterly
groundless. All requests by Germans, ana
non-Germans also, to land German seamen
at Manila for the protection of the property

this government in order to avoid even the
slightest pretext for unfavorable comment;
To those Who appeared most sacred we said
that in an emergency there would be ships
ready to take them aboard-Americans and
Germans included. AT Manila there exist
the best relations between Americans ana
Germans. The captain of a Lloyd steamer
recently arrived from those shores reported
that Admiral Dewey had a most friendly
talk with the German admiral and the Lloyd
captain about the situation. The report,
coming this time from Vienna, that there
will be a conference in Paris for the Settle
ment of the Philippine question, and that all
the great powers will be represented on TINS
conference, is discredited here. At the
Foreign Office no one knows about SUCH a
scheme. Neither Spain nor the United
States are DESTROYS of mediation

Every woman should realize that her
health is like bank account. At the out
set she has so much deposited to her credit
in the bank of health. If she draws out
more than she puts in she will soon over
draw her account An over-drawn account
in the bank of health means one of two
things, life of hopeless suffering or an
early death.
The woman who neglects her health in
womanly way is making big drafts on her
account with the bank of health and will
soon be physical bankrupt. Disorders of
this description wreck a womar's general
health quicker than anything else in the
world. They soon transform a healthy,
happy, amiable woman into weak sickly,
fretful and respondent invalid They ut
terly unfit a woman for wifehood or mother
hood. For all disorders of this nature DIR.

Two Important Statements by MIR.
Curzon in the House of Commons.

sCurz0n In the House of Commons.
LONDON, Aug. LIN the House of Com
mons to-day the parliamentary secretary of
the Foreign Office. Mr. George Curzon, an
swering a question. said there were no
negotiations in progress between Great
Britain and the United States in regard to
the Philippine islands and that no informa-
tion had reached her Majesty's government
in support of the statement that Germany
had made or was making an attempt to
acquire the island of Luzon. Continuing,
Mr. Curzon said the government was aware
that the future of the Philippine islands
was causing anxiety in Australia and that
the matter will. of course, receive the gov
ernments close attention.
Replying to questions on the subject of
China, Mr.. Curzon said Sir Claude McDon-
aid, the British minister to China, had been
instructed on July q to inform the Tsung-
Li-Yamen Chinese Foreign Office that
Great Britain would support China against
any power permitting an act of aggression
in China, because China had granted a
British subject permission to aid or build
railroads other public works. (Cheers.)
In the House of Lords the Marquis of Sal
iSbuly, the premier, discussed the Chinese
question, replying to the Earl of Kimberley.
the Liberal leader, Who sharply attacked the
government for permitting the rivals of
Great Britain to outmaneuver them in the
matter of railway. and other concessions"
Lord Salisbury declared that no British
capitalists were attempting to build rail-
ways in China and he certainly should not
advocate the building or substituting of rail-
ways there by the British government. He
repeated the instructions given to Sir
Claude Mcdonald, the British minister at
Picking, which had been outlined in the

stake all upon it.

Sick Rate Is Low.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Commissioner II.
Clay Evans has just returned to Washing
ton from Camp Thomas, Chickamavga Park,
and called at the War Department to-day
to describe to Secretary Alger the conditions
of affairs at that great military camp. The
commissioners report is much more encour-
aging than those which have been received
from other sources. In the first place he
says that the total sick race in General Po-
lands whole division does not exceed 4 per
cent. The same low rate obtained among
the Tennessee soldiers. The usual sick rate
among troops in an encampment is said to
be about per cent. General Wade told the
commissioner last Thursday that his sick
call that morning was about 1000 men, there
being between $4,000 and $4,000 troops in the
camp.
