A CLEAN OF PLEASURE.
Along the noisy ci.y ways,

Along the noisy city ways, =
And in this rafting city car.
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jHrs
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked ON my petulance and pain ~
And lent it something OF its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without.
My neighbors just as cold within.
And truth was just as full Of doubt,
The world was just as full Of sin.
But in the light OF that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew warm.
And sunshine CLEANED a little while
Across the darkness of the storm.
I did not care to seek her nnme.l
l only said: God bless thy lie.
Thy sweet. young grace be still the same
Or happy maid Or happy wife"

Two Engines Overturned In Snow
Drifts.

The work train that went north yes
terday morning did not get very far
until an accident happened it, which
accident was reported by Superintend-
ent Rasback this morning, says the
Cheyenne Sun-Leader. The official left
yesterday in charge of q work train and
came to town in a buggy that he rent
Ell from a ranchman in the vicinity OF
Horse creek. The train encountered
very deep snow in a cut and having no
rotary pillow, the snow could not be
cleared from the track and before the
trainmen knew it, the two engines were
on their sides. Engineer Donahue had
a very narrow escape from death. If he
had attempted to jump he would GER
tainly have been killed, as the engine
fell on her side. He remained at his
post and in doing so stayed in the only
safe position on the engine. Engineer
Gibson was in charge Of the other en-
CINE, which did not tip completely over.
The fireman jumped. When the acct
dent occurred Mr.. Rasbeck sent after
the box in which ne carries the instru-
men to tap the wires. He found the
box, but some one had taken the in
strument out before the case was put on
the train. Nothing was left the super
intendent but to hunt up a ranch. This
he did and with the aid of several men
who went ahead to clear the road; the
official arrived in Cheyenne this morn
ing and had a frozen ear and a nipped
heel.
A wrecking train in charge of Con-
ductor Hoyt, Wen out today to put the
engines on the track again.
Railroad men say it is useless to try
to clear the track on the Northern
without a big gang of men to clean the
cuts and rotary plows. 1t is thought
the road will be temporarily abandoned
until this course can be pursued.

WYOMING FED ON ALUM.
The Harmful Drug Concealed in Bak-
ing Powders.

Recent investigation shows that the
stores are largely stocked with baking
powders which contain alum, the injur-
ious ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards of Health have
so strongly condemned. England, Ger
many and France have laws prohibit
ing the use of alum in bread, and the
States of Minnesota and Wisconsin
forbid baking powder containing alum
to be put upon the market unless the
words this baking powder contains
alum" are printed upon the label Of ev-
cry package offered for sale. This is
the danger signal which the law throws
out for the protection of the people.
Yet many of the makers of alum bak-
ing powders such as the Calumet"
while keeping away from Minnesota
and Wisconsin, have the efrontery to
offer their condemned powders to con-
sumers here. These alum powders are
frequently labeled pure" best in the
world" none SO good" or with some
other equally misleading catch phrase.
Below will be found a partial list of
the baking powders sold in this market
that have been examined and found to
contain alum:

Best and Largest Attraction of the Sea-
o Tonight.

The popular Anglo-Swedish comedy,
"Yon Yonson," will be the attraction
at the Opera House tonight. This play
has attracted widespread attention be-
cause of the striking originality of its
chief character, an A~mericanized
Swede-a quaint imperturbable, phleg-
matte yet manly fellow-capitally
played by Mr.. Ben Hendricks. The
story tells of the career of a typical
Swedish emigrant in the lumber camps
of the northwest and serves as a good
vehicle for the comedy work of Hen
bricks, who is a clever comedian with
a very mellow Swedish-American dia-
lect. The play will be seer here with
all its original scenery and mechanical
effects and a company of metropolitan
artists, including the famous Lumber
mans quartette. Get seats early; there
will be a crowd.

GRAPE-NUTS
HOW TO BUILD A BODY.

One of the most important discoveries of
late is the application OF the right kind OF
food to rebuild the lost substances OF the
body, thrown off by the active. nervous
work OF Americans
Careful investigation by experts in food
and diatetics, has brought out the fact that
albumen. which is contained in various
foods, is acted upon by phosphate of pot
ash, not such as is found in certain parts Of
the field grains in most minute particles,
arranged in Natures laboratory, not mans.
The part of the grains containing phos-
phate of potash is used in the manufacture
OF GraDe-Nuts food, therefore the active,
nervous, pushing brain worker can feed the
body with food that goes directly to the
rebuilding OF the broken down gray matter
in the brain, solar plexus and nerve centers
all over the body, with the result that the
individual who refreshes and rebuilds the
body with proper material of this sort,
obtains a definite result. which he can feel
and know of and which is apparent 10 his
friends,
vigorous brain and nervous system is
OF greater Importance to any business man
or brain worker than unlimited quantities
Of money.

of the man who sold his shadow for

his grave by woes Of every description as

ure the influence every individuality must

BANKED FIRES BLAZE AGAIN
Early Resumption of Work is Probable at
the Trust smelters.
GRANT WILL CONFER WITH THE COMMITTEE
Willingness shown 40 Meet Schedule

Extreme Demands of workmen
VIII Postpone settlement.

DENVER Colo, June 16.-The outlook is
favorable tonight for an early resumption
Of work at all the trust smelters which have
been shut down since Wednesday bring
ing enforced ideness to thousands of miners
and railroad employees and threatening in
calculable damage to all the industries of
the state.
Steps have been taken which will probably
bring about a conference between James B.
Grant, chairman of the operating commit
tee of the American Smelling and Refining
company, and a committee composed of the
Smelter Mems union. The employees, it is
believed, will insist only that eight-hour
shifts shall be granted. Mr. Grant has said
that he will agree to this. He has also ex-
pressed willingness to pay the wages that
are being paid at the Argo smelter. To ad-
just rates according to the varying condi-
tions at the different trust smelters would
require considerable study. but If the men
recede from their demand for ten and
twelve hours pay for eight hours work
there will be nothing in the way of a speedy
and satisfactory settlement OF the trouble
I'VE are willing to commence the operation
of our smelters and pay the same scale for
parallel classes of labor that is paid at tho
Hanauer smelter in Utah and the Argo
smelter in Denver" said Mr.. Grant.
Nothing has yet developed to Justify
prosecution under the new eight-hour law
as all the men are out of the Grant and
Globe smelters and the law is in force at
the Argo.

CH0KED HIMSELF TO DEATH
Jury Finds that NeIs Hansen Killed
Himself with His Hand
l<erChief.

The inquest over the remains of Nels
Hansen at Coroner Swansons undertaking
rooms yesterday afternoon resulted in a
verdict that death was caused by a hand
kerchief tightly coiled about the neck of
the deceased by his own hands. The tes-
timony was indicative of suicide, and the
finding is in accordance with what was pre-
sented to the jury.
Mrs. John Handrck 2615 North Four
teenth street, testified that Hansen had re-
maned at her house two weeks, having
come there from Curtis, Neb. When he
left, her husband asked him where he was
going He responded that he did not know,
but he expected to leave the city. She
said he had a brother in the hospital for
the insane at Norfolk, and she believed
that the mind of Nels Hansen was deranged
at times.
The testimony of j. w. McCardel, pro-
prietor of the Jefferson Square lodging
house, 31S North Sixteenth street. showed
that Hansen entered his place Tuesday
night and retired to his room about 10
O'Clock. He had no baggage and so he paid
for his room in advance. The next day.
Wednesday afternoon, the witness heard his
housekeeper pounding at the door endeavor-
ing to waken Hansen She could get no
response, so McCardel went up and, after
shaking the key out, took a pass key and
opened the door. He saw Hansen lying on
the bed dead with a handkerchief tied
around his neck and foam oozng from his
mouth. Witness summoned officer John F.
Burns and the coroner. When the latter
arrived an examination of the body showed
that the neck of the deceased was swollen
so that it was impossible to pass anything
between it and the handkerchief, which was
knotted securely Thirty-four cents in
money was found and two pieces of paper
bearing the address Of a couple of friends.
John Hansen of Curtis arrived in the city
last evening to look after the remains OF
his brother.
