ECONOMY OF
HORNLESS COWS

When it comes to putting up
cows for winter, the COW that bas
no horns will be found to take up
much less room than her neighbor
who is tempted to and generally
does hook and fight all those near
her. In the stable, of course,
each stafl will accommodate its
COW, horns or no horns. But we
believe that horned cattle are often
kept in stables on bright, pleasant
wintery days TO keep them from
hooking one another, when they
would be much healthier if allowed
to run in a small yard. Most
barn yards are made much larger
than would be necessary if all
horns were removed. This wastes
manure, as moro surface is ex-
posed to rains, and the droppings
in large yard are often so scat
tered that they ARE never gathered
into heaps and carried where they
are needed. Americas Cultiyator.

SUMMER TINE IN TEXAS NOW

If you are contemplating a trip
South to escape the rigors of our
more Northern climate you will do
well tc see that your ticket reads
via "The Colorado Road" the
through sleeping car road between
Colorado and Texas. At the
present time there is in effect
specially low round trip rates to
the principal resort points in
Texas; namely, Galveston, San
Antonio and Rockport. Tickets
purchased to any of the above
points allow stop-over on route of
thirty days within the state of
Texas on the going trip and bear
final limit of June 1, 1899. In
addition. the round trip rates to
Mexico, Florida and Cuba are
very attractive. Call on any

pressed by unsophisticated persons
that the state Of Ohio might have lost
one title to the distinction OF having
in the senate of the fifty-sixth congress

suits, however, 1t Is already seen'

Unknown Man
Killed BY the Cars
About Two Miles East of Hugo,
Colo.-CouId Not Be
Identified.

As the east section men were
returning from their work yester-
day evening aboard the handcar,
they discovered the remains of q
man laying by the track about two
miles east of town. They hasten
ed to Hugo and notified the agent
of their find who in turn notified
Sheriff Freeman. The latter with
DR.. Rothwell and several Others
went to the spot and found that
the man was still breathing, al
though his heal was split open
and both legs cut off, they finding
portions of the body strewn along
the track for about one hundred
Yards. The man died within a
few seconds after their arrival,
and they then brought the remains
10 Hugo and summoned Coroner
Brown. The latter held an in
quest to-day and the jury decided
that the death was accidental and
was caused by the man falling
from the extra freight train which
passed through Hugo yesterday
afternoon, east bound. The re-
mains were inferred in tie Hugo
cemetery this afternoon.
No letters or marks of any kind
were found on the body which
would lead to Identification. The
man wore a cap, dark overcoat,
dark snit of clothes and was fairly
well dressed. Hugo Ledger.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

The seasons prospects thus
early in the game are as propitious
as we have ever known them to be
at mid-winter. We believe that
every farmer should arrange to
plant grain, graz and spud crops
in the spring. The prospects for
raising good crops were never
better. The heavy snowfall in the
mountains is almost a guarantee OF
an unusually large rainfall during
the spring and summer months,
and farmers should be prepared to
take advantage of this condition.
Those who subsoiled hardpan land
in the fall are especially favored
and are going to succeed where
others fail. The year is to be Il
good one if we prepare for it

WAR INVESTIGATION

The full report of the war in
vestigating commission has now
been made public. II finds much
to commend and considerable to
condemn in the management OF
the war. The investigation was
fair and full and the commission
say in their report:
s'The commission on September
81 made public invitation through
the press to all persons having
knowledge or belief of any official
wrong or dereliction to submit
their statements in writing, ac>
companied by such collateral proof
or Information as might be at their
disposal. This invitation met
with liberal response. Hun-
, dreds of aflidavits, letters, news
ppper clippings, editorial articles
and sermons we're received, all of
which were thoroughly and labor
iously investigated, as will appear
in the testimony taken by the
commission and the various cxhib-
its and appendices to be published
hereafter"
< One gratifying feature is that
every department was conducted
with perfect honesty. In no case
was there found to he the slightest
suspicion of speculation or collu-
sion between officers of the army
and the contractors for private gain
at the expense Of the government;
mistakes were made but honestly
made. The report says that the
department did not seem to have a
full grasp Of the situation, which
is mild way Of saying that Alger
was not a big enough man for the
situation. General Miles is criti-
cised because he did not at once
report the fact when he found, or
thought he discovered, the beef TO
be bad. In regard to the beef
itself, they found that there is no
sufficient evidence TO prove that it
was chemically treated; that it was
generally good, but when taken to
a hot climate was greasy and
unpalatabIe. The inspection de-
partment is criticised, also the
transportation facilities, especially
on the Santiago campaign, were
deemed Inadequate. Some of the
camps were badly managed and
the medical care was not at all
times sufficient. These conditions
were due principally to the mex
pericnce of many of the officers
and most of the men and the great
haste with which the army was
organized. Considering all diff
culties and the great results, they
regard the work as well and
cheaply done, and in a manner TO
reflect honor upon the nation.
Most Of the commission was
composed of military men who
had spent years in actual war and
were competent to judge. Those
who are criticised either directly
or by implication will not be
pleased with the report, and poll
ticians who hoped that great
scandals and corruption would be
unearthed that would furnish
political capital are sadly disap-
pointed and sneer at the report as
II whilewash, but the mass of the
intelligent people of the country
will accept it as an honest state
ment, showing some things in the
conduct of the war to be regretted,
but on the whole something OF
which the nation should be proud.

THE SLAVES OF TEA.
Enormous Quantities of the Beverage
Consumed by Russians.

\ campaign has been begun in Rus
sa against tea drunkenness. 1t may
not perhaps be generally known that
the average Russian drinks enormous
quantities of tea. This is partiCu-
larly true of the poor classes, says the
New York Times. The Russian work
ingman uses the sO-Called brick" tea,
which is the cheapest sort, being
mixed with the stems and compressed
by some adhesive gum into dry cakes
of various sizes, resembling i'm its ap-
pearance plug tobacco. This tea,
which would prove poisonous to any
one else, is consumed by the Russian
worlSingman at the average rate Of
about twenty stakans tor tumblers) a
day, the Russian "stakans" being quite
equal to about five of the little thim-
bles of cups used i'm the United states
at Afternoon" teas,
In fact. a Russian is not satisfied un-
til 'sedmoi pot prOshibyot,' or the
seventh perspiration breaks out" nc
cordng TO the popular saying. If it
be taken into consideration that black,
sour, or bitter brick-like bread raw
onions garlic dried, brick like fish and
strongly salted herrings are usually
the chief articles of food of the people
at large one must not wonder at the
enormous quantity of hot tea needed
to quench a Russians thirst and help
on his digestion. This excessive tea
drinking not only ruins the digestion
in time, but by the tea intOXiCation''
which it brings on is rapidly producing
a physical and moral degeneration of
the Russian masses.
While the tea which is habitually
taken by the poor moujik ig a vile con-
CuCtion, the beverage as prepared for
the leisure classes is superior to Eng
liSh or French tea. The Russian meth
Cd of preparing ii goes a long way to
contribute to the fine taste of the bev-
eraEe In this process the famous
"samovar" plays the principal part,
The samOvar" is the utensll made Of

There was joy in abundance at the
rooms of the Century Hose company,
when the members assembled for their
usual social chat last night.
The cause of this happiness was that
work was commenced yesterday on the
alterations to be made at the hose
house.
AS is generally known. the way the
company is situated is anything but
enjoyable. In the Hartman building
the company has three neat little
rooms, cosy and convenient, but the
horses and apparatus are kept in n
barn nearly a block away. This is n
big setback for Permanent man Knel-
lar in responding to an alarm.
Among the Neptune and Century
companies there is spirited but
friendly rivalry as to which reaches
the scene of the fires in the Eleventh
and Nineteenth wards first. Under the
present conditions the Centurys cannot
be expected to compete with the Nep-
tune boys.
Mrs. G. Hartman, owner of the Cen
tury quarters, Is about to remodel the
building to meet the requirements. The
first floor, now used as meeting and
sleeping rooms, will be improved. The
front windows will be removed and a
swinging door put in. An extension
will be added, in which house the
horses and apparatus will be kept.
The floor above will be fitted up for
parlor, meeting room and sleeping
apartment. When these changes are
made the company will be in good
shape.
