The Festival.

The Grand Junction Sentinel is out
with the Herald Democrat and other
kickers against the Festival OF Mountain
and Plain this year. No town which
holds an annual carnival or festival OF
it's own, and expects to receive outside
patronage. han right to object to such
celebration .-Glenwood Avalanche.
Yes, and in conversation with proba-
bly, the largest merchant which Glen
wood has, yesterday, b. 7. Napier, he
greatly commended the course taken by
this paper.
He said that no one thing did more to
ruin the trade OF merchants on the west
ern slope than the annual festival Of
Mountain and Plain. 1t takes thous-
ands of dollars away from Glenwood,
Grand Junction and other places every
year, in fact it comes at time when 1t
steals the cream OF the fall trade. Peo-
pie who are carried by local merchants
year in and year out scrape every possi-
BILE cent together to attend this festival
and purchase goods leaving their home
merchant to hold the bag, figuratively
1t IS true that Grand Junction holds
festival almost yearly but it is not COM
mercial enterprise. The people OF the
eastern slope, or very few Of them, at
tend and those who do attend have
stores of equal size in their own homes
from which they can purchase.
Grand junction will lose nothing by
opposing the festival. II it would occur
only once IN while it would cut little
figure, but coming as il does, each year.
the home merchant does not know what
he can count on for fall trade.
The Sentinel would do everything in
it's power to glorify Denver. 1t has done
30 in the years of its existence. 1t would
do everything possible to join with the
Denver papers in anything for the ad
vancement of Denver because the Den
YER press has been uniformly courteous
and generous to this city and the things
favorable to it. But we would be dis
loyal to our own community to advocate Q
something for Denver, which builds up
that city to the tearing down OF our own
homes.
At first it was only theory with us
that the festival hurt things in com
mercial sense, but now we have the tes
timony OF many large merchants and it
is their general judgment that it is hurt
full to all trade interests.

A noticeable portion of the report
for 1898 of the Massachusetts, board
of health is that III relation to con-
sumption. A steady and uniform de-
crease in the mortality from this dis
ease in the state is pointed out. In
1853 the deaths from consumption
were 1912 per one million people.
Iu 1895 the number was only 2194,
and the report for 1898 shows further
decrease. "The causes of this remark
able change" the report says, are
undoubtedly of a similar character
with those which have affected nearly
the entire class of infectious or pre-
ventable diseases; namely, better
knowledge on the part of the people
of the art of prolonging life, a grow
inc appreciation of the value Of sani-
tarv measures, as shown in the better
organization and equipment of local
health authorities, and the more Wig
orous enforcement Of those measures
which are essential to success in the
campaign against infectious diseases.
Another means which has recently
been adopted is the establishment Of
aspecial state hospital for the isolation
and treatment ofpersons afflicted with
tuberculosis.

INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Judge Speer Decides Against Dady
In Georgia and Alabama
Railroad Case.

At Macon, Ga, Saturday, Judge
Speer, in the case of Dady against the
Georgia and Alabama railway, refused
the injunction sought to prevent the
consolidation of the Seaboard Airline
system. He referred to the fact that
causes substantially similar were pend
ing in the federal jurisdiction of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, holding that
the court which first took cognizance
the case should carry it to its termIna-
ton.
He further held that only a majority
vote of stockholders was necessary for
such consolidation in Georgia and that
it was not properly maintainable, that
because the defendants, John Shelton
Williams, occupied the position of q
member of the voting trust, president
of the Georgia and Alabama and Of
the Florida Central and Peninsular,
that the merger or consolidation
brought about through his instrument
tality should be enjoined.
An interesting part of the decision
is that which bears upon the competi-
tive character of the two roads. Trac-
ing their general trend and calling at
tention to the fact that after leav-
ing Savannah they are in nowisee
connected save through the interme-
diary of one or two shallow rivers on
which small steamboats, occasionally
ply and that intervening the two lines
are powerful competitive systems, he
says: cit is not difficult to perceive
that the contemplated system of the
Seaboard Airline. instead of tending
to defeat competition, must inVaria-
bly, tend to preserve it,"

brains and saved a passenger train

The company sent him check for $50
and posted a bulletin eomplimentlng
him for his quickness Of thought. A
few days later Engineer John Hag-
gerty was oiling his engine at Con
nellsyille while waiting for the pas
sengers to leave the train. He heard
another train coming and believed that
it was not under proper control. He
sprang into his cab, opened the throttle
and started his train. The other en-
CINE struck the rear car, but it was
not a hard blow, and Haggerty's
promptness saved ten or a dozen lives.
The company has ordered a handsome
gold watch, suitably inscribed, and
gold chain, for Engineer Haggerty, as
a reward for his devotion to duty and

horses we're left under the frst terraces
Of rocks.
Sealing the steep hill the Beers
found that the British had improved
the opportunity aud intronched heavi-
~. Between the lines Of trenches was
an open veldt, which had to be rushed
under heavy fire not only from rifles,
but from lyddite and shrapnol from
field guns. Three forces assembled the
three spurs, co-ordinStely under cover
OF fire from the Free State Krupps,
q Creusot and a big Maxim.
The English tried to rush the Beers
with the bayonet, but their infantry
went down before the Boer rife fire
as before a seythe.
The Boer investing party advanced
step by step until 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon when a white flag went up aud
$50 men in the front trenches Burren-
dered, being sent as prisoners to the
head lager.
The Boer advance continued on the
two kopies east of Spion kop. Many
Beers were shot, but so numerous
were the burghers that the gaps filed
automatically. Toward twilight they
reached the summit Of the second
kopie, but did not get further.
The British Maxims belched flame,
but a wall OF fire from the Mausers
held the English back. Their center
under this pressure gradually gave
way and broke, abandoning the posi-
ton.
Firing continued for some time and
the Fusiliers and the Light Horse
serving as infantry, threw up thier
arms and rushed out of the trenches.
The British dead left on the battle
field number 1900.
The effect of the abandonment of
Spion kop by the English can hardly
be gagged as yet, but it must prove to
be immense.
GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.
All the editorials in London papers
of Sunday morning breathed the calm
of determination. No one will allow
that one reverse could deter the coun-
try from the object it has set itself to
attain, whatever the sacrifices which
may be involved.
