Mans Summer Outing

Judge Lennox was feeling very
comforta bic. He had finished an
excellent dinner, and was now
smoking an equally good cigar.
He smiled as his "four girls
gathered around hlm-one, his
little dainty wife, who looked like
the sister, rather than the mother
Of the three tall daughters, who
were SO devoted to her. She
perched herself on the arm of her
husbands chair, and wound her
arm round his neck, exclaiming:

Nan was the youngest Miss

at a fashionable seminary. She
answered, slowly:

the girls have asked me to visit
them, but l must have time to

The next mornings mail
brought a letter to Nan from a
cousin Of her mothers, who had
a large, rambling farm house on
the sea coast. The husband had
been injured by fall from his
horse, and was a helpless invalid =.
They had four children-two
sons, the eldest seventeen and
the youngest thirteen, and two
daughters, sixteen and eleven.
The boys managed to make a
scanty crop on their small farm,
and Mrs. Graham took all the
summer boarders she could get,
in that out-of-thc-way place. The
letter was written in a deSpon-
dent mood. Her husband was no
better, the crop had been even
smaller than usual, and she had
not the prospect Of single

That is What Volunteers Say Ol
Conduct of War.

New York, July J5. The Herald
today publishes a special from San
Francisco accompanied by inter
views with the volunteers who
have just returned from Manila.
These indicate that the consen-
sus of opinion among the troops
is that the war against Aguinaldo
so far has been failure, and that
the campaign has not been con
Quoted along lines consistent with
good generalship. They give the
impression that General Otis is
incompetent and that the officers

because of the failure

Pine Ridge, S. D.. July 10
Nothing has been heard today
from the posse which is in pursuit
of Swift Bear and his band of
Sioux warriors, who seem to be
determined to start an uprising
among the Sioux and Cheyennes
if possible.
They are making for the Wyom-

nearly one hundred young bucks,
and it is feared the posse of Indian
police will not be able to overpow-

Denver, July l5.-The general
manager and officials of the Santa
Fe railway system will arrive in
Denver this afternoon to close n
contract with the Colorado South
ern railroad company, whereby the
Santa Fe will operate the Colorado
Southern tracks between Pueblo
and Fort Worth, Texas.
The Colorado Southern will run
its trains over the Santa Fe tracks
between Pueblo and Denver. This
saves considerable time for the
Santa Fe as the Colorado Southern
makes long detour and is in bad

This agreement will 90 into eff

Cook Rebukes Silver Democrats.

Chicago, July 15.-Sam B. Cook
general manager of the demoratic
ways and means committee, has a
word of rebuke for the radical sill
yer democrats who hiss traitor
at every democrat favoring mod
ification of the Chicago platform
of 1896 and who threaten to bar
all such from the national conven-
ton.
He says: "To call a democrat
Ii traitor who thinks the next ma
tional platform ought to be some
thing different from the last one,
is unjust, unfair, bad taste and bad
politics. There should be no bar
against any man expressing his
opinion on what the next platform
should contain.
platforms are not made for all
time. The only test of a mans
loyalty is whether he supported
the candidates and the platform
after the convention, not what he
thinks or says before it."

Want Him to Keep in Service.

San Francisco, July 15.-Gen-
eral Shafter will have reached the
age limit in about three months,
and it is said his friends are work
ing quietly, but none the less
energetically to secure his reten-
ton in the service a few years
longer.
The friends of General Shafter
argue that since the Department of
the Pacific has become so import
by reason of the aqui sition of the
Philippines; it is inadvisable to
make a change in its commander
just at this time. 1t is rumored
that Brigadier General Merriam is
likely to succeed Shafter in the
event of his retirement.

Ex-CONvICT ARRESTED.
He Was Wanted for Burglary
and a Load of Buckshot
Got Him.

Tom Heffner, who was dis
charged from the penitentiary last
Sunday, is again in fair way of
occupying cell in the pen.
Since leaving Canon City he
was in Cotopaxi, where on Thurs
day night he burglarized Tom Nc
Coy's saloon, obtaining n quantity
of whisky, cigars and two dollars
in money. He also had in his
possession bottle of opium which
he told companion he intended
to smuggle into the pen to "life
con" After tapping the saloon
he came to Canon and went out to
a prison ranch about mile north
east of town. There he made him
self So obnoxious that word was
sent to the sheriff, who had Just
received word of the burglary at
Cotopaxi
The sheriff deputized Abe Will
ley to assist in the search, and to-
gether they proceeded to the ranch.
There they found that Heffner had
gone further up into canon.
Sheriff Hawkins followed after,
while Wiley went around and
came in from the other way. Heff-
ner saw the sheriff and started to
run when he met Wiley, who was
armed with a shotgun. The dep
uty ordered the bandit to throw
up his hands, who threw up one
hand, but with the other drew a
big forty-fve caliber Colts revolv-
er. The officer was too quick for
him, however, and emptied a
charge of buckshot into the con-
vict's right leg. Heffner fell and
threw away his gun which was
found to be cooked. He was taken
back to Jail where lie is in charge
of the county physician.
Heffner is the man who was sent
up from Denver some years ago
for killing a Chinaman, and after
being discharged was soon sent up
again for burglary.
