tween heaven Or hell, God or the
devil?
The convention took place Sept.
18th. The Hustler Of Sept. 22nd
claimed 1000 people present. The
Statesman Democrat claimed only
$500, and all those who were pres
ent, say this estimate was probably
correct. The Hustler of Oct. 18th
says $500 people were present. The
convention appears to be growing at
the rate of 500 people per month,
BY the time the next convention
comes off, the phenomenal record of
10000 people will have been estab-
lished. Probably the nine tenths
vote alleged by the Hustler in fav-
or OF holding the convention a second
time at South Pittsburg, has been
inflated IN the same remarkable way.
But as a matter of fact the South
Pittsburg people had things their
own way as they were largely in the
majority, and from the frantic dem
onstration they made when the sub
;pct was broached, the Old-time
theatre with It's paid clacquers, was
IforclbIy suggested,
For information on the wildcat
whiskey question the attention of a
wouder-stricken world is turned to
the Hustler. It's knowledge of what
constitutes wildcat whiskey ana wild
caters rivals, nay exceis, that of
Judge Clark seated upon the judic-
ial ben ch. What does the Hustler
know about wildcat whiskey at Sc
Iquachee and where did it get the in
formation? What authority can it
produce? What proof Of the state
ment? Our worthy sheriff, who re-
sides here, must take it as a reflect
! ion on his character and official con
duct that such a reckless statement
should pass unnoticed. To say that
more whlskey is sold in radius of
five miles of Sequachee without Ii
cense, than is sold at South Pittsburg
under legal sanction, is an insinua-
ton that the law-abiding, peace-lov-
ing citizens of this portion of the
county should resent. as they have it
IN their power to do. 1t is a gener-
Gus insult to all.
1t is suggested that the Hustler
representative be appointed special
officer for life, to hunt mOonshlners
around Sequach9e. 1t would he a
sinecure no doubt, provided the pay
did not depend upon the number Of
the gentlemen caught and the
amount Of liquor confscated. How
lean and emaciated he would be-
come. Every day he would grew
smaller, and wither, and desslcate
t and disappear, as do the leaves o
] the forest. He would pass away t,
e a mere shade, an existence that ha
= been, a nothingness, an unreality, q
= glimpse Of the dead past that is re
b mote on the sands of time, but hi

NEW SMALLPOX CASES
Three More Have Been Reported
to DR.. Monroe.
A PEST HOUSE ADDITION
1t Will Soon Be Ready for Patients-A
Man From Quarry Reports to
Dr. Alexander With Well
Defined Case.

DR.. Monroe, who has jurisdiction over
smallpox cases outside of the pest
house. made report yesterday to the
county commissioners, in which he said
that two or three new cases had come
to his notice during the past "a hours
He also stated that the addition to the
pesthouse would be finished before long.
A little child, living with her pa
rents, named Finch, in Iowa street, was
reported i'll of smallpox and DR.. Mon
roe placed the house under quarantine.
The mother of the child protested. say
ing that her child had nothing more
serious than chickenpox.
James Murphy of No. sos East Sum
init street was reported to be a sub
iect for the pesthouse, and the doctor
said that he would be sent out there.
Yesterday a man went into City Ply
stefan Aleyander's office and asked to
be examined.
Il have just come in from a stone
quarry near Whitehall" said he, and I
feel like a man with a dose of the
smallpox. I was examined by a doc
tor out there and he said l didn't have
the smallpox, but I feel very much,
judging from what I have heard of the
symptoms, as if 1 were i'll of the dis
ease"
DR. Alexander turned the man over
to DR.. Monroe, who ordered him sent
to the pesthouse. He is said to have a
we'll defined case. The mans name
was not learned by either Of the doc
tors who examined him.

MATRlMONr4L lessons CRIME.
Fewer Married Than Single Men Are
Transgressors of the Law.

From the Medical Journal.
F. Printing has contributed a statis-
teal study of this subject. According
to this study, property rights are more
generally respected by the married than
the single The married man does not
commit the graVer offenses against
property, such as robbery and fraud, so
much as the less dangerous crimes,
such as receiving stolen goods, break
ing the laws of trade and public health
and bankruptcy. Men who are married
at an early age (from Is to 25) offend
against property more often than the
unmarried of the same age than mar
ried men who are older. This is prob
ably explained by the pressure of fam
lily expenses. Offenses against moral
ity, except of course, bigamy, and, for
some reason. incest, are far more COM
mon among unmarried men-a fact
that was to be expected. Offenses
against human life are more frequent
among the unmarried, though the dis
proportion is not so great as in the
matter of the rights of property.
1t is interesting to note that the GRIM
inality of widoWers decreases with ad-
vancing years, although this is prob
ably true of all men. Widowers, how
ever contribute a greater share OF
crime between the age of 80 and so than
either of the other classes. This may
marriage, according to the point of
view. Widowers are especially prone
to murder, incest, false accusation and
false witness. They stand first in all
classes of crime and their offenses
against property are noteworthy. In
eXtenuation of widowers it may be
claimed that the loss of the wife leads
to decentralization both in mind and in
domestic affairs and removes an in
| ftuence that is evidently salutary in the
majority of men. According to these
statistics the longer a man is married
the more laWahiding he becomes. This
may be accounted for not only by the
benign influence Of matrimony, but
also by the fact that the burden of
married life incident to the larger birth
rate at that time and the financial
straits of the parents is greater in the
early years than it is later. This is in
dicated by the fact that the rate of Of
fenses against property falls off rapidly
with advancing years among the mar
ried.

SIX PERSONS
KILLED OUTRIGHT
In a Collision Between Passsnge Trains
on the Rio Grande-Others Seri-
ously Injured.

Denver, Dec. A rear-end collision
occurred between two passenger trains
on the Rio Grande this morning, in
which six persons were killed outright
and several others severely injured. The
accident happened at English switch,
about six miles east of Salida, at a. m.
The killed are:
c. E. OSGOoD, Denver.
H. r. MATTHEWS. Denver.
PETER BARNES, Denver.
MRS. GEORGE PORTER, Grand
Junction.
A. R. JOHNSTON. oberlin, Ohio.
An unknown man.
Seriously injured:
George w. Pierce, Denver
Thomas M. German, Denver.
A. M. Johnston, Oberlin, Ohio.
Train No. 5, the narrow-gauge train
from Grand Junction Durango and
New Mexico points, which left Denver
last night, had been tagged at that
switch and had stopped owing to an
obstruction at a bridge. Standard
gauge train No. Is, for Glenwood
Springs was following, and, failing to
get a signal to stop, plunged into the
rear of the narrowgauge sleeper for
Durango, which was filled with pas
sengers. The Pullman was thoroughly
spintered up and the coach ahead was
also wrecked. The killed and injured
We're in these cars.
C. E. Osgood, who was killed, was an
elder brother of J. E. Osgood, president
and general manager of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, and was CASH
Ter for that company.
Mr. Matthews, another of the killed,
was travelling passenger agent of the
c., &. & @. railroad. At the offices of
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad in
this city it was said that a brakeman
was sent back TO signal the second
train, but that the light in his lantern
became extinguished and he was there
fore unable to stop the train.

The Cape Town correspondent of the

England to urge upon the imperial au-
thorities the acceptance of the Cape

tlement after the war;
The special correspondent of the
Daily News with General Methuen, tel
egraphing from Modder river on the
day after the battle. says:
Il hear that the Beers are in full re-
treat to Bloemfontein."
A local farmer arrested by the Beers
and released Nov. 20 has arrived at Est
court. He says General Joubert per-
sonally commands the Colenso forces.
A Dublin correspondent declares that
owing to startling information as to
the existence of dynamite conspiracy
in order to quicken the flow of Boer
subscriptions the executive has decided
to double the guards at all the military
barracks in the district.

ter Of the queens household. The wish
tors were escorted through the state
and private apartments. Later the
party went to Cumberland Lodge for
tea at the invitation of Princess Chris
tian of Schleswig- Holstein, daughter of
Queen Victoria

before 1t is accepted as ract. In any
case the Beers retired without any sign
of disorder. carving off their guns and
equipment.
Thus Cronje's force is still intact. The
fact that General Methuen and Colonel
Kekewich are now in communication may
cause a reconsideration or the Boer COM
manders plan to give battle at spytfon-
tein, where he might be simultaneously
attacked by both British forces. 1t Is
reported that the Modder river bridge
has been repaired and that the British
resumed their march towards Kimberley
to-day.
The fact that the Debeers mines foun~
dry is casting shells, while the garrison
seldom replies to the Beers artillery, is
said to point to a scarcity OF ammunition
at Kimberley, partly accounting for Gem
eral Methuen's haste.

Helena Will Not Purchase the Water
Plant.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 4.-The municipal elac-
ton held here to-day upon the PROPOSE
ton of increasing the city's debt FOR
the purpose of building a water plant
or acquiring the present plant resulted
in victory for those opposed to the
scheme. The "antis" won by the small
majority of 40. AS only taxpayers
could vote, the total vote was small, not
exceeding $50 out of nearly 700 register
ed. The election stirred up more or less
feeling but was on the whole very quiet.
A rumor was current that the present
water company was in favor of the
proposition. intending thereby to I'M
load the plant upon the city. How much
truth there is in the report is not
known.
