Took u Muriatic Acid Bath.


Lo, the poor Indian, got acquainted with
q new sort of firewater on the West Side
the other day. His experience followed the
falling of a ten-gallon cerboy of muriatic
acid at the paint store of Smyth Brothers
the fumes of which completely filed the
place and did damage to the extent of
near 500 before being dispelled. Shortly
before o o'clock Thomas Jacobs, an inmate
of west side home, entered the store and
handed Joseph Smyth a note requesting
piece of window glass. The latter found
that the glass would have to be cut to the
required size, and asked Jacobs to help
him lift the carboy from table on which
glass is cut. In moving the bottom of the
box fell out, and the glass carboy crashed
on the floor in a thousand pieces the con-
tents splashing over the two men until
they could hardly breathe
Mr.. Sinyth yelled to the Indian to run
toward the front door He climbed
fence in the rear and found Jacobs in
pitiable condition, jabbering all sorts of
things in his aboriginal tongue The muri-
attic acid was rapidly eating his clothes
into fragments, and, plying him, Mr..
Smyth got a water cooler inside the door
and threw the contents over him. NY
wasn't that brave enraged. Out on the
reservation they sometimes had ffrewater,
but never iceWater on the side.

Built From One Tree.
the San Francisco Chronicle.

FROM the san Francisco Chronicle.
At Santa Clara, Cal, there is A Rantis+
church which was built of lumber made
from a single giant oak tree. Jrndar tic
branches the first Baptist service in that
region was held in 1853.
When 1t was decided to build a church
edifice 1t was thought best to use the site
OF the original meeting place
With appropriate ceremonies the great
tree, whose shade covered an acre af
ground was consecrated for it's new pur-
pose. Workmen then cut off the tree
twenty feet from the ground This bie
stump was partially hollow and was al
lowed to stand for the church tower. A
tapering steeple was built on top of II.
The upper part of the tree trunk and its
huge branches were sawed I'D into Iumbe,
for the main body of the church.
When the church stood completed. a sub-
stantial building thirty feet wide by ssyen
ty feet deep, 200 feet of lumber remained
unused. more sturdy building could nor
be imagined, 1t is as strong as the old
Saxon churches of England. which were
built centuries ago out of native oak and
are still in use.

Lieut.. Gilmore and number
of men from the yorktown were
captured by the Filipinos several
months ago. Word has been re-
ceived from them recently and 1t
is learned that they were held for
ransom. AT first they were fairly
we'll treated, then tortured and
then half starved to extort ran
som for their release. This IS
simply the policy of brigands and
robbers, VINO capture a prisoner
and by threats Of torture or death
extort Il ransom from bis friends.
But the outfit that did this claims
to be a regularly organized gov.
eminent and it is this band OF
brigands that the sympathlzers IN
this country hold up as prosecuted
patriots, want the stars ami stripes
lowered to them and the govern
ment of the islands given INTO
their hands.

Oil Keeps Down the Dust.

The oil test ON the Union Pa
ciic at point west of Cheyenne
Wells has proven a success. A
report was received at Superin-
tendent Deuel's Office yesterday
afternoon stating that through the
long dry spell no dust had raised
on the ten miles saturated, and
furthermore all of the weeds had
been killed.
The report will be submitted to
the general superintendent, who
will ask for a board of directors
to take the matter up to decide
whether the entire dust sections
of the system will be sprayed oil
not. There are some sections
which do not need oiling, but
others are in districts where clay
deposit becomes dry and easily
creates clouds of dust when the
fast trains pass.

treated by physicians, also used sew

The test of ones republicanism
is that he support for Office the
state and national nominees of the
party. No honorary members
will be admitted. There are sup
posed to be upwards of 20 repub-
lican newspapers in Colorado and
200 of all other political
affiliations. The republican edi-
tors feel that by thorough or
ganization they can benefit the
party to greater extent and at
the same time secure for them
selves more of the political recog-
milton that rightfu!ly belongs to
them. The social part of it is not
overlooked, and all will be bene-
flied by closer professional re-
lationship.

Gored By a
Vicious Cow

Last Sunday morning little En-
lily Mcguire, the 6year-old
daughter of George Mcguire,
while in a corral at the home of
VIM. Little, east of Kiowa, was
suddenly attacked by a vicious
COW and painfully gored before
the animal could be knocked down
and the child rescued. Her col
lar bone was broken, and right
side painfully bruised and in ad-
dition a long scalp wound made
that required several stitches. She
was at once brought to Ebert
where she received medical at
tention, and it is now thought will
fully recover.

This would be an excellent time
for Silver Republicans to stop and
seriously ask themselves the ques-
ton what lhey are likely to ac-
complish or what they have ac-
complished for silver by voting
the Democratic or fusion ticket.
Can even those who believed that
the cause of silver was of more
Importance than all others, worth
sacrificing all other political con-
victions for, honestly claim that
their course has advanced the
cause of free silver one iotal They
certainly cannot claim that it has
tended toward good government
and better conditions in state or
local affairs, and it has not aided
silver either, what have they TO
show for their abandonment of
lifelong political principles and
associations2 Those who are out
for Office will continue to advocate
fusion OF anything else that prom
ises to assist them to that end,
but the masses who acted from
honest motives should begin to do
little sober thinking. Those who
do not want to be swallowed bod
lily by the Democratic party and
become a part and parcel of that
party, will have to return home
now, and there certainly never was
time in the whole history of the
country when there was more
reason for supporting the party
which in three years has raised
the nation from the lowest depths
of depression it ever suffered to
the highest state of prosperity 1t
ever enjoyed.

England evidently is very re-
luctant to resort to force in deal
ing with the Beers, and If any
way out of it, except to back out
of it. is presented, it will be gladly
welcomed. If it comes to war
there is little doubt that England
would triumph in the end, but 1t
would be a bloody and costly
struggle, besides the mass OF the
