Go to Ouray.

Next Monday the city of Ouray will
celebrate Labor Day on more elaborate
scale than any celebration has ever been
given in that city. Time and money has
been spent to advertise the day in the
best possible manner and there will no
doubt be big crowd assemble there to
do honor to the occasion. Prizes to the
value of 81 10000 have been provided
and there will be sport without end.
The citizens of Grand Junction owe a
debt of good feeling to the city of Ouray
for the manner in which that city has
always responded to the invitation for
them to come and join US on our Peach
Day celebration. One of the best posi-
BILE advertisements for this city would be
a party OF say one hundred citizens to go
to Ouray and celebrate Labor Day with
the good people of that mountain town.
There our people could see hospital
ity dispensed in big chunks and it might
do some OF our people gool to get among
people who do not count every cent
they spend and send communication
with it to come back, whenever they do
let dollar go.
Get your Sunday clothes on next
Monday and join the excursion. All
people from Grand Junction will receive
a more than cordial reception.

Lawyers Dent Go There

The Devil came upon earth one day,
And into the court he wended his way;
just as an attorney, with very grave face
Proceeded to argue the points in case i.
Now lawyer his majesty never had seen
For to his dominion none ever had been i.
Its the fault Of my agents" his majes-
ty thought,
"That none of these lawyers have ever
been caught"
So for his own pleasure, he felt desire
To come to the earth and the reason en-
quire.
Now his majesty was indeed much
amused,
To hear the p oor lawyer 30 badly abused.
But as soon as the speaker had come to
a close.
The counsel opposing him fiercely arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of
the first,
That he made him william, of all men
the worst.
And they quarreled, contended and ar
gued SO long,
1t was hard 10 determine who was in the
wrong.
So, concluding he'd heard enough of the
fuss,
Ola Nick turned aside and soliloquized
thus:-
They have puzzled the courts with their
villainous cavil,
And I'm free to confess they have puz-
zled the Devil.
My agents are right to leave lawyers
alone,
For il | had any thoy'd swindle me out
of my throne"

Has anyone heard the Silver papers
charge that the accent money panic
IN New York and London was due to
the passage of the House gold stand
ard bill? The two affairs happened
simultaneously. yet the Silver press
was fair enough not to insist that the
bill caused the panic.
Now, suppose we reverse the case.
Suppose a panic in the money market
had followed the passage @ a Silver
bill, how the Republican press would
have rolled the mo1sel under their
tongues and ascribed it to bimetalllic
legislation. 1t must be apparent,
however, to the most casual obervel
Of the question that the world 5 bust.

Sho1,ridse, Charlie has been called

abuse during the past few years but
no one has ever yet accused him of
being a dead one The mere fact
of his numming, swishing, vibrating
livliness is responsible for the Criti-
cis1n that has been hcaped upon him,
criticism, by the way, that rolls off
him like an April shower off d mack
intosh. Adverse comment hardly
ever stays long on a man who is con-
tiuually in motion. He was the life

San Jose Golden Jubilee. He routed

and raised reluctant money and in
spired the people with a magnificent

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
To Relieve Dewey.

Rear Admiral Watson Ordered to Ma
Mia 20 Take Command of Dewey's
Squadron When the Latter Can BE
Spared.
The navy department issued orders
Monday detaching Rear Admiral Watson
from command of the Mare Island navy
yard and ordering him to report to Admi-
raj Dewey at Manila to relieve that officer
when he feels that he can be spared there.
Rear Admiral Kempff, at present on wait
ing orders, has been ordered to succeed
Admiral Watson in command of the Mare
Island navy yard. 1t was stated at the
navy department Monday that Admiral
Dewey will come from Manila direct to
New York when he returns to the United
States. However, it was added, the admi-
raj will not start until the commission, of
which he is a member, has completed the
work it has undertaken, at least so far as
it relates to the restoration of peace to the
islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead of having
her come to San Francisco, where she was
built, is said to be primarily because Admi-
raj Dewey expects to make the passage on
his own flagship and also for the reason
that the Mare Island navy yard threatens
to be overwhelmed with repair work as
soon as the numerous vessels of Dewey's
fleet begin to return to the United States.
The Olympia is in need of thorough over
hauling, having been away from her home
station longer than any other of the YES.
sells in the Asiatic fleet, and has rendered
more than the usual amount of hard ser
vice during her absence.

Dewey in Good Health.
He WIN Not Return Until the Philip

He WIN Not Return Until the Philip
pine Commission Finishes It's WORK.
Secretary Long was asked Sunday as to
the rumor that Admiral Dewey would
shortly return to this country. Secretary
Long said that no advices had been re-
ceived from the admiral relative to his re-
turn, and that he would not leave the Phil
ippines until the work of the Philippine
commission had been concluded, and when
that would be the secretary was not in a
position to say.
DR.. E. Page, surgeon on the Olympia
who has Just arrived at San Francisco, saws:
admiral Dewey is in perfect health. He
has not been more than 20 miles away
from Manila since the first day of last May
and he has not felt the necessity of ply
sician's aid in that time. The climate of
Manila is enervating, of course, but the
commander of the fleet has been no more
affected by it than anyone else"
Admiral Dewey has cabled to New York
his acceptance of an invitation to banquet
to be given in his honor by a hundred
prominent and public-spirited citizens. IL
is likely that the admiral will return to
this country as soon as peace negotiations
with the insurgents have been concluded
He will return via the Suez canal and will
come to New York.
Thirty seven prominent citizens have al
ready announced their intention of sub
scribing 500 each for banquet in honor
of the great captain, and there is no doubt
that the list will soon be filled by the So
others necessary to make the 100 men and
the $40, 900 planned for. George G. Boldt,
proprietor of the Waldorf Astoria, saws that
President Mckinley and Secretary of the
Navy Long will be invited to the banquet.
