THE BITTER DREes.
Starving tl,, Buzxnrds and killing

Starving tl,s Buzxnrds and killing
the Smells In Cuba.
1.-THE first thing to be done after we
captured Santiago was to cleanse IT,
said the volunteer who had returned
to his duties as citizen. Land o
smoke, but how those people ever kept
their health is something beyond my
figures! Everything from every house
was thrown into the streets, and it was
n city of smells. The first half dozen
times l walked along the main street
had to hold my nose with my fingers.
Even the army mules were staggered
over it. The citizens didn't mind it at
all, however. One day after we had
got cargo of chloride of lime / was
using some on heap of refuse when q
citizen who was also a merchant came
along and halted to inquire:
"'Senor, why do you do that?'
"'To kill the SMELL replied.
"'But why kill one smell and create
anotherY
"'Do you prefer the smell of dead
dog to this?' 1 inquired.
"I was used to the dog he said as
he moved on, but this is strange and
queer and puts me out
II helped to disinfect n hundred
houses" continued the volunteer land
no matter how awful the smells, the
people preferred them to the lime. The
poor old buzzards had the worst end Of
1t, however. They'd been the only
scavengers for n century, and they
couldn't get on to the new deal. We'd
put men to work to hoe and rake and
get the refuse into heaps, and a dozen
buzzards would be ready to pounce
down and scratch it over. Before they
could alight we'd sprinkle on the lime,
and their surprise and disgust would
have made horse laugh. Hundreds
of them were made sick before they
would give up, and our stony hearted
ness made many citizens indignant. In
front of one of the best Eouses one day
we raked up two dead cats, part of a
fish. dead hen and n lot of other stuff,
and l was about to disinfect when the
lady came out and said:
"'Why take all this troubled?
awe must get rid of the Smells
replied.
"'But the buzzards will go hungry
"'They must find some other way to
make living
"'Cruel, cruel Americans" she ex-
claimed as she clasped her hands and
raised her eyes to heaven. First you
come and lombard us; then you fight
us on land; then you oblige General
Toral to surrender AS If that were
not enough to humiliate us, you must
starve our buzzards and kill off our
smells."

Died.

In Denver, Colo, on Wednesday, Aug. 8
1900, Bessie, wife OF Roderick Stewart
and daughter OF the late John Wearne
She grew up in Idaho Springs from
childhood to womanhood aud here as
we'll as in Denver she leaves many
friends who feel the shock of her sudden
death as a personal loss. Beautiful and
amiable, to know her was to love and ad-
mire her. Blessed with a comfortable
home, devoted husband and dear lit
tie baby, life held for her everything
that was sweet and lovely. She leaves a
mother, two brothers and sister, upon
whom the blow falls heavily.
Only the infinite love of God can COM
fort the bereaved in such an hour. For
her, there is assurance that all is well.
She has fallen asleep to waken in a
brighter world.
The burial service takes place at p.
m. today.
Mrs. Mary Pierce and her daughter,
Mrs. r. j. Roberts, went to Denver this

POWER OF RED RIBBON.
Induces Two Indian sIaideEs to

Induces Two Indian S1ofdeEs to
Have Face Masks Made.
Two of the fairest maidens of the
Winnebago tribe of the Indians went
through an hour of abject terror the
other afternoon when they had their
"faces pasted with white mud" The
''pasting" was only the efforts of Hugo
Loeb, sculptor, to get masks of the
young maidens.
4. II. Roddy, the newly appointed
chief of the Winnebagoes. brought the
two girls to Chicago on visit. Annie
Bluering. the fairest of all Indian maid
ems, attracted the artistic eye of Mr..
Loeb. who asked to be allowed to make
n mask of her face. Mr.. R0ddy led the
two girls to Mr.. Loeb's studio. and the
mystery of the masks was explained.
When everything was ready, both girls
declared evil spirits lurked in the plas-
ter and refused to go.
Chocolates" said Mr.. Loeb. Both
maidens became attention at once. Mr..
Loeb made the mistake of feeding
them pound of chocolates before he
completed his work. All the explain
ing of Mr.. Loeb and the commands of
Mr.. Roddy We're without avail.
RED ribbons.' suddenly said Mr..
Loeb. He brought forth several yards
of the reddest of red ribbons, and both
girls made rush for them.
After l have taken the mask" said
the sculptor, with winning smile.
The bright colors proved too great an
attraction for the young Indians. and
with the reward Of ribbons suspended
from. n gas bracket they at last per-
mitted their faces to be covered with
the plaster.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Republicans of Gilpin county last

The Republicans of Gilpin county last
evening started off the fall campaign,
the occasion being the county conven-
tion, and the presence of Senator VOL
colt. To kind of get up little enthusi-
asm to welcome his royal highness, the
committee hired Denver band to play
on the streets all day, and in tho evening
the band and about dozen of the faith
full met Mr.. Wolcott at the Black Hawk
depot. Although quite large number
of people were on the streets while the
procession was on its way to the Teller
House no cheers of welcome were given
him. His speech last night was poor
effort in comparison to former ones de-
livered here. Mr.. Wolcott scored the
Democratic party, said that if it were
not for Bryan and a few other mouth
pieces of the Democratic party that the
war in the Philippines would have been
over long ago, and stated that he thought
that free silver was necessary but that
it was impracticable at presant, and that
the nations of the world would ask this
country few years hence. The speech
was listened to by about 800 people, the
majority of whom we're Bryan men. AS
a campaign opener, it was pretty much
of frost.

There is an immense and constantly
growing number of people who read the
advertising columns of the newspaper
before starting out to buy things. Many
of them have no opportunity to study
window displays or to examine large
variety of goods over the counter. The

CATTLE-Receipts have been rather
light this week for this time of year and
the market, taken as a whole, could not
be called active. On Tuesday there was
a slump in butcher cattle prices of about Is
cents, with a steady market at the de-
cline since that day. The offerings in
killing cattle have been largely Gamers
and common to fair cows. We have had
but very little fat steer stuff, and nothing
good. Veal calves are in good demand
and selling strong. Owing to the light
receipts the stock cattle market has
seemed little better than last week, but
with more cattle, it is hardly likely that
there would have been any improvement.
The situation is practically unchanged.
The good cattle are fair sale, with no
change in prices The medium grade
stuff is slow, and the common cattle of
all kinds are selling very low. During
the last two days there has been fair
demand for stock calves at steady prices.
The yards are fairly we'll cleared tonight.
Mich cows are selling at steady prices,

drop of IS cents in five days. 1t begins
to look as though packers would force
the price of hogs to $780, All we can
say to shippers is that hogs have to be
good now to bring better than $780, and
we look for a still further decline. You
must be prepared for 10 to 10 cent drop
