NEW AND SPLENDID
TRAIN SERVICE
On "The Colorado Road"

The popular and progressive
Colorado Road has made several
important changes in time and
character of its trains. Another
train between Denver and Colora-
do Springs has been added. All
of the equipment of the Colorado
Road is new and up to date. The
time of departure of trains for
Colorado Springs is S:2O a. M,
11:20 a. M, 8 p. In. and 11:3O p.
m. The train for Pueblo leaves
at 11:2O a. m. That for Leadville
and Gunnison at S:15 a. m. On
Sundays the 8 p. m. train for Col
orado Springs leaves at Z p. m.
and the train for Boulder, Fort
Collins, etc. at Z p. M, while the
Silver Plume and Central City
train leaves at 6 p. m. Thus the
Colorado Road has by far the bes'
service between Denver, Colorado
Springs and Manitou. The 1l;2t
n. m. train carries cafe car, sc
that you can take luncheon en-
route to Colorado Springs OF
Pueblo.

CATTLE DYING
At DEER TRAIL

The cattlemen of Deer Trail are
much alarmed over u mysterious
disease which has broken out
among their stock, hundreds of
head having died in the last few
days. The disease strongly re-
sembles blackleg, death occurring
shortly after the first symptoms
appear in the afflicted animal.
Blackleg, however, generally
affects young animals from three
months to three years of age; but
this disease affects old and young
alike, which raises some doubts as
to its being blackleg. DR.. Solo,
mon Book, the State veterinarian,
who has beeu informed of the
matter, had the following to say
in regard to it:
'Blackleg is fatal in from twen-
ty-four to thirty-six hours, and
the only way TO prevent il is inoc.
ulatiou. l know Of no euro after
the disease becomes apparent, bu,
blackleg virus can be introduced
into the systems of healthy cattle
and the result is the same as in
vaccination against smallpox.
"When a carcass of a steer
killed by blackleg is left above
ground the water used by the herd
is generally polluted and more
deaths follow rapidly. Partial
safety can be secured by driving
the herd on to a different place
after deaths from this cause have
taken place.
"When proper arrangements
are made for the free distribution
of blackleg virus thousands Of cat
tie will be saved and the amount
of the saving to ranchmcn in Col
orado, in my opinion, annually is
nearly $500, 900. BY the proper
use of blackleg virus the disease
can in time be absolutely stamped
out"

CHANGE IN
PENSION Law

An important change in existing
pension laws was effected during
the closing days of congress which
attracted little or no attention.
A bill, modestly entitled "An
act to amend section 4766 of the
Revised Statutes of the United
States" passed both branches of
congress, was approved and signed
by the president on the Sd of
March. The bill provides that
where a resident pensioner of the
United States deserts his lawful
wife for period of over six
months, she being of good charac-
ter and in necessitous circum-
stances, or if he have no lawful
wife and deserts his legitimate
minor child or children under six
teen years of age, the commission
er of pensions is directed, upon
satisfactory evidence, to cause
one-half the pension due during
such desertion to be paid to the
wife or to the legal guardian of the
child or children. 1t also provides
that when soldier or sailor enters
into a state home as an inmate
one-half of this pension accruing
during his residence therein shall
be paid to his wife or his minor
children, providing they be not
inmates of the same institution.
The same law applies in case a
soldier OF sailor enters a national
home as an inmate. -Castle Rock

THE DECLINE
OF TRUSTS

The legislature Of Missouri has
passed an anti-department store
law, requiring any store in large
cities, selling more than one class
Of goods, to pay an annual license
tax of $500 on each additional
department. This the stores have
refused to do, and the attorney
general has filed suits to collect in
each case a penalty of 800 day
since March 1880. They also
have an antitrust law there, and
suits have been commenced
against all drug stores in the drug
combine and TO annul the charter
of the trust company.
Evidently they are going TO
have lively time of it, and the
outcome will be awaited with in
terest. If they succeed other
states will follow, as there is a
strong feeling everywhere against
trusts and department stores.
1t is doubtful whether laws can
resist the evident trend of all in
dustrial business. While they
may do something, we feel that in
the end trusts will kill themselves
off. At present there is a marked
reaction, and banks and moneyed
institutions are refusing industrial
stocks as collateral for loans.
This must destroy the sale of these
stocks. If not sold, there is no
money in most of these combina-
tions, and they will fall apart of
their own weight. The surest
way to kill anything is to overdo
it, and surely the organization of
trusts has been carried beyond all
reason and therefore will fail of
its purpose. Greeley Sun:

ECHOES OF MEMORIAL

The grave buries every error,
covers every defect, extinguishes
every resentment. From it
peaceful bosom spring none bu,
fond regrets and tender recollec.
tions. Who can look down upon
the grave of an enemy, and moi
feel compunctious throb that he
should ever have warred with the
poor handful of earth that lie.
Wondering before hims But the
grave of those we loved what q
place for meditation! There it il
that we cali up in long review the
whole history of virtue and gen.
tleness and the thousand endcar-
ments lavished upon US, almost
unheeded, in the daily intercourse
of intimacy. There it is that we
dwell upon the tenderness of the
parting scene; the bed of death
with all its stiaed griefs, its noise
less attendance, its mute, watchful
assiduities; the last testimony OF
expiring love, the feeble, fiutter-
ing, thrilling-oh, how thrillingl
pressure of the hand; the last fond
look of the glazing eye, turning
upon us even from the threshold
of existencel The faint, faltering
accents, struggling in death to
give one more assurance OF affec-
ton! Aye! go to the grave Of
buried love and meditatel There
settle the account with thy con-
science for every benefit unrequit-
ell, every past endearment unre-
garded, of that departed being
who can never, never return to be
soothed by thy contrition! Ii
thou art child and hast ever
added a sorrow to the soul, or a
furrow to the silvered brow of an
affectionate parent; if thou art a
husband, and hast ever caused the
bosom which ventured its whole
happiness in thy arms to doubt
one moment of thy kindness or of
thy truth; if thou art friend and
hast ever wronged in thought,
word or deed the spirit that gen.
erousIy confded in thee; if thou
art lover and hast ever given
one unmerited pang to that true
heart which now lies cold and still
beneath thy feet; then be sure
that every unkind look, every un-
gracious word, every ungentle
action, will come thronging back
upon the memory and knocking
dolefully at thy soul; then be sure
that thou wilt lie down sorrowing
aud repentant on the grave, and
utter the unheard groan, and pour
the unavailing tear, more deep,
more bitter, because unheard ana
unavailing.
Then weave thy chaplet of flow
ers and strew the beauties OF ma
ture about the grave; console thy
broken spirit, if thou canst, with
these tender, yet futile tributes OF
regret: but take warning by the
bitterness of this, thy contrite
affliction over the dead, and hence
forth be more faithful and anec-
tionate in the discharge OF tiny
duties to the living. pg.-Washinston
Irving.

Atlanta, Ca, April IA special from
Dalton, Ga, says one of the largest
distilleries ever captured in Georgia
has been raided by revenue officers
near Subligna, in Chattooga county. A
copper still of~175 gallons capacity,
$500 gallons of beer, 100 gallons Of
singlings 40 gallons of whiskey, 25
bushels of meal, 20 bushels Of malt
corn, a malt drier, heater and heater
worm constituted the property de-
stroyed.
The officers captured two men-Bud
Atkins and George Anderson-both of
whom were brought to Dalton and
bound over by United States Commits
sioner Jones.
The raid was made at o'clock in the
morning, the officers having to walk
about ten miles in order to surround
the place. En- route to the place the
officers passed a signboard nailed on
tree at the forks of a road which
read as follows: ITO He'll, Is miles"
The settlement in which the distil-
lery was raided is considered the most
desperate in the state as regards dare
devil moonshining.

The BeefCOurt

Washington, April 7.-Having decided
at it's forenoon session today to accept
as evidence the official reports Of Off
GERS Of the army, the beef inquiry
court devoted itself to listening to the
reading of those reports. They were
read by Major Lee, as the representa-
tive of General Miles, who had read
only about eighty Of the LAT Of them,
when the court adjourned for the day.
The reports were generally brief
statements of the personal experience
of the officers or summaries of the
opinions of the men under them. The
reports bore almost exclusively on the
canned beef, but there were occasional
references to the refrigerated beef The
officers generally condemned the meat
as a component part of the soldiers
ration. The complaints were that it
made the men sick and others, hungry.
though they generally were, they
threw it away rather than eat it, In
some cases, however, the officers re-
ported that they had heard no COM
plants of the meat.
Other statements corroborated form
er testimony.

Kreuz Zeitung charges Great Britain
with mala fides in the whole matter,
alleging that she is trying Tor ner
own selfish purposes TO entangie tne
United States in hostility with all the
continental powers and at the same
time drag her into policy Of eXpan-
sion."
The Boersen Courier says the reason
of Great Britain's delay in asserting
to Germany's proposal was founded on
her desire to continue, with the aid OF
the United States, her policy Of "spiting
Germany, and claims to find proof
of this attitude in the London press,
which it accuses of resuming its old
tactics of "slandering Germany and
breeding trouble between Germany and
the Unitd Stats
The Tageblatt takes Great Britain to
task for not expressing regret at the
unexpected policy of repression in
Samoa" and regards her attitude to-
ward Germany as insincere.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung says:
Great Britain's behavior in this mat
ter is symptomatic and opens an un-
favorable vista for other pending ne
gotiations."
PHYSICIANS DANGEROUS Ex-
PERIMENTS.
DR.. Fosse, the Prussian minister of
education, has ordered an investigation
into Professor Foorester's charges that
many scientists, including those of the
Breslau university clinic and the Ger
man hospitals, indulge in dangerous
experiments with patients. The charges
involve some scientists of worldwide
reputation. The matter came up in
the reichstag on March 18th, when DR.
, Bosse promised an investigation. Since
then a mass of new evidence to the
same effect has been produced, involv.
ing a number of the best known poly.
clinics and hospitals, some. of the ex.
periments mentioned being with chlora
! and other deadly germs.
