ONE-EYED

Denver Post: Speaking Of train rob-
bers," said the man from Arizona, 're-
minds me Of One-Eyed Hoover. You
gents all remember how he held up the
bank at Flagstaff and skipped out with
sa~ddlebags crammed? No? Well, that's
queer. 1t happened in the fall of 81. This
ere Hoover was a cute one. He'd been
trapped up North-then drifted South.
Some how or other the country didn't
seem to agree with him, SO he turned
from bad to worse and finally wound up
by clearing out Flagstaff's first and last
national bank.
He got a big lead on US, but by mid
night the posse had camped out on his
trail. Brownson, the sheriff, owned a
brace of dogs (bloodhounds) that could
track anything from a circus to a shadow,
and it was a sight for sore eyes to see
the way they followed that trail. Hoover
didn't have the ghost of a chance, and we
all wondered if he'd show fight when cor
nered. From past record it was believed
that he would.
w rode hard that day and changed
horses twice. Long toward night we
stopped at a store to water our horses.
Yes, Hoover had gon by three hours be-
fore. He'd tarried long enough to water
his mustang and to buy two bits worth
of cayenne pepper. What he wanted the
pepper for we couldn't guess, but we at
terward learned.
THE country kept getting rougher at
ter this. Finally we tracked him to a
dried creek for a cOuple of miles; then ran
across his horse. The poor beast was
about ready to die. All we could find in
the bags was Hoover's boots. And lead
ing from the horse was the trail tracked
by stocking feet.
"'We'H have him soon.' yelled Brown
son. as we followed the dogs up the draw.
Suddenly the foremost leader sat down
on his launches and began to sneeze, fol-
lowed by the other.
well, sirs, they sneezed for a good
half hour. Then started off back to
Flagstaff with their tails between their
legs.
at seemed tina Hoover had dumped
the pepper into his socks, and there never
yet was a dog that would follow that
kim of a trail.
This was the last we ever saw OF
heard of him. and I guess he's cute
enough to stear clear of Arizona.
1.-The dogs? oh, yes. Brownson sold
them to a travelling Uncle Toms Cabin
for $40, and he thought he'd struck a bar
gain"

The message. as whole. Is one OF

it Is :" n condition. not theory, which

brought about by three years Of Re-
publican rule at Washington

From Ha,anA raper..

The Discussions says: President
McKinley's message viii I'll the hearts
OF all lovers OF Cuba with joy. His
words, Whatever be the outcome. we
must see to 1t that free Cuba be a re-
ality not a name, should be written in
letters OF gold over the door Of the Gu
ban white house. The Cuban Repub-
lie will be bound to Lincoln and Nc
Kinley by lndissoluable bonds of
love"
The Patria says: "Hurrah for Pres
ident Mckinley! He could not have
spoken in clearer tones. 1t is Impossi-
BILE for the giddiness of conquest to
overpower the deep, natural impulse of
a noble and democratic people"
The Cubano gays: THE message. In
the cIearest words spoken. shows that
justice is the guiding point at Washing
ton. Our hearts, bowed down by tre-
mendous skeptcism, are now relieved,
and we may expect congress to speak

THE ROBERTS CASE

The action of the House in the Rob

Americas first colony. Liberia, is now
rehabilitated, the interest on its pub
lie debt being paid. In 1871 Liberia
foated a loan OF $500. 900, chiefly in
England, but three years later the lit
tie republic failed to meet the interest,
and this condition Of affairs has pre-
vailed ever since, until now Liberals
fiscal agents In London have an
nounced that the government is once
more able to meet its obligations. This
step was rendered feasible by q new
source OF revenue derived from rubber,
and the interest which the bondholders
despaired Of getting is now being paid
from the royalties turned into the gov
ernment of the republic by the Ii
berian rubber syndicate, an essentially
English concern. The development Of
the rubber industry in Liberia has at
tracted considerable attention, which
has not confined itself to the CONNER
ciaI aspect, and there is likely to be
in the near future diplomatic activity
in relation to !ne status OF Liberia.

The year 1900 will offer a consider
able range of choice to persons inter
ested in anniversaries pertaining to
literary men whose claim to remem-
brance is indisputable. Scholars will
have the five hundredth anniversary
of the death of Chaucer in mind, and
will repair with fresh delight to that

death is to be numbered with the
notable days in the new year Many
to whom his works may not otherwise
appeal will be grateful for the
spiritual refreshment which they owe
to his devotional writing. On the other
hand, the centenary of Macaulay's
birth will be commemorated, at least by
special recollection, by the large COM
pany who are his debtors because when
he wrote history, the poets imagina-
ton kept dullness at distance. There
will be other days and names for end

readers and good listeners will not

THE LOWELL SCHOOL.
A Splendid Educational EdJfce
The Schools in a Very
Healthy Condition.

Grand junction at the present time
equipped school rooms of any city of its
size in the state.
The new Lowell building just about
completed gives this city for the present
ample Accommodations for all her school
children. The school presents very
handsome appearance from the outside
and bears out the form and conditions
appearing to the public, on the inside.
The school contains five new rooms and
with the old portion OF the building con-
tains nine rooms. The entrance and
stairway is imposing and not in the
least cramped and is in fact a work of
art.
The new building is finished in hard
oil, the walls being kalsomined very
pretty blue. All the Accommodations for
cloak room purposes are Of the latest
model and the people of the city may
congratulate themselves on having such
splendid Accommodations for their chill
dren.

the building this morning a, 4 was sur
prised at the appointments T r all p"r-
poses revealed by this minute luspeo Lion,
At the present time there is being az b
comodated in the building 423 scholars.
The rooms are light and airy and the
desks in the school rooms and other ap-
pointments are of the latest models, de
signed for school room service.
The following teachers with their

STRATTON ESCAPES.

Canon City-Between 1880 o'clock
last night and 6 o'clock this morning,
James X. Stratton. the celebrated Grim
inal from Arapahoe county, eluded the
viligence OF the night force at the peni-
tentiary and made his escape, Stratton
was serving twenty one year sentence
for forgery and had four years yet to
serve,
This IL his second escape from the
penitentiary. On September II, 1893, he
worked clever trick on Warden Nc
Lister. He made his way to Chicago
and was there located by the Pinkerton's
The chief OF police was notified, Stratton
was arrested and returned to Canon
September Is. 1894.
Stratton was successful last night, but
not by his own cleverness alone. 1t Is
clearly evident that he did not scale the
wall, for no trace Of rope or ladder can
be found. He has been under the most
careful surveillance ever siace tho first
escape. He occupied the same quarters
last night shat he has occupied during
the last two yesrs.
Warden Hoyt recommended him for
parole.
The bribery cases are still on at the
Court house. The testimony of William
Campbell, A. T. Wharton and George
R. Barton was heard for the prosecution.
The testimony OF Aldermen Starr and
Mckinney and A. o. Newton has also
been heard. 1t is possible that the
testimony on both sides will be in by
this evening.

The who'c bril- ing, including the Gel
ebratcd Die e,.n system of heating and
ventiiatiug is to cost Si5,OU0,OO. The
heating system alone was no suall part
Of the cost. but when IN plaee will be OF
exceptional excellence. The systsm
has been purchased with a view OF heat
ing the High school building. the capac-
ity of the boiler being entirely sufficient
for this work. This system of heating
and ventilating, which enters 30 largely
into the comfort and we'll being of the
children and scholars OF the schools
is generally adopted by all large schools
throughout the country. 1t is the new
Columbia school building, at Colorado
Springs, perhaps the finest school build
ing in the state. 1t was the aim and
object OF the board OF school control to
secure the best and they believe they
have gotten it. The old building will
not be connected.with the heating appar-
atus this year, but will be for next
years work.
Superintendent Miller is working
away very successfully and seems as #
to the manor born in the school room.
His vast experience stands him well in
hand in organization and he is very gen
orally liked by all who have come In
contact with him.
There are enrolled In the High school
for this term 1875 scholars, with accom-
modations for ouly 12O. This is high
or enrolment than the High school has
over had before in its history. Last
year at the close Of the fiscal school year
there we're only 63 scholars enrolled.
Altogether the schools of the city are
moving along in fine condition and keep
ing pace with the general prosperity OF
all other things in this city and Mesa
county.
The board of school control, Judge w.
A. Marsh, Samuel NJ Wheeler, Esq 3,
and DR., Heman r. Bull, is manifesting
large degree of interest in tho schools.
They have watched with careful eye the
building Of the new school and are
working ardently, without any pay
whatever, for the interests Of the people
1t is only fair to say that John j.
Lnmsden, tho contractor Of the building
has done good work. He has been
greatly handicapped and retarded in the
work by his inability at times to secure
material. . condition which confronts
every builder all over the country today,
but he did the best he was able and has
done it well.

MIR. Croker said later: "MS. Bryan is
the recognized and logical leader, and
while many Of US do not agree with him
on some issues, he is the strongest man
in the party today, and the Democrats
who oppose him are dead ones-dead
