can city committee Col. r. r. Olney
and his staff of figurers and tally-keep-
ers, are busy. Chairman Olney SAYS
that everything is progressing in a most
satisfactory manner. He is of the opin-
ion that by the time the polls close this
evening the vote will be good one and
he is leaving no stone unturned 10 bring
about this result. Circulars are being
sent out to those who have not yet
voted, and close watch is being kept
of all the lists.
At the Democratic city headquarters
the claim Is made that some OF the
candidates on the city assembly ticket
will be elected, but this statement does
not appear To be made with any degree
of confidence, and IL seems to be utter
ed more for the purpose OF encourage
ing the members of the party, many
OF whom are looking decidedly blue. and
this applies particularly TO the leaders.
THEIR VOTE SMALL.
Prohlbitionists are not polling any
thing like the vote they claimed they
would receive, and the Socialist Lab borf
candidates are working TO increase the
vote they Dolled last year. but whether
they will succeed or not remains TO be
seen when the vote is counted.

I'lG Resort Hotels
OF COLORADO.
THE "HOTEL Colorado

GLENWOOD SPRINGS,
Is ONE OF THE FINEST RESORT
HOTELS in America 1t is located in
the heart OF the Rocky Mountains.
The hotel is a beautiful structure,
with every modern convenience; it
contains three hundred guest rooms
and one hundred private bathrooms.
The famous hot springs, the bathing
facilities afforded by the great swim
ming pool six hundred feet long, the
luxurious bath establishment and the
unique cave baths, far surpass any
thing of the kind in this or the Old
World. The purity of atmosphere and
the picturesque surroundings OF val
ley, river and mountain, serve to
make this spot an ideal resort.
Shawnee Lodge at Shawnee,
KiOwa Lodge at Baily's, COI.,
are located in the Platt canyon,
among the mountain pines. The above
hotels are under the same manage

Khaki!

One of our friends asks us what
is the real meaning of khaki; she
hears of khaki dresses, khaki trim
mings and khaki writing paper.
This reminds us of the small girl
pictured in an English paper,
studying her atlas; she says that
she hears the soldiers are III khaki,
but see can't find it on the map!
According to the scholars, khaki is
derived from Persian word which
means dust; it's present day mean-
ing is a coarse, yellowstone
canvas, used for soldiers uniforms
in tropical climates. Both Ameri'
cans and British soldiers are fight
inc in khaki now, and fashion calls
the brownish linen or crash made
into women's gowns khaki also'
Much of it is simply the deep
twine-colored linen or crash that
we have been wearing in outing
skirts and suits for several seasons,
and this is really prettier than the
genuine article, which is strongly
suggestive in hue of too-long mix
ed mustard. Alone, we consider
the color frankly hideous, but ii
combines nicely with white, pale
blue or scarlet. We saw one kha

Boer brutality, the British ambu-
lances were placed directly under a
British battery in action on hill
and certainly the Beers were not to
blame if their shells fell among the
mbulances. There is also allow
ance to be made among both Brit
ish and Beers for individual In
stances Of stupidity or heated ven
geance. The sum of evidence Is
that both British and Beers have
been fighting with as much human
lty as is possible IN war. They
have succored each others wound
ed and have shown the greatest
consideration for prisoners as a
rule. Of course, there have been ex-
ceptlons which were due to indivld-
ual ferocity, and even these have
partaken in no way of the terrible
cruelties and reprlsals of the Fran
co-Prussian war. The stories told
in the speeches of Webster Davis
and such yarns as Beers being dis
abled with poisoned bullets and
bayoneted on the spot are mostly
untrue, and should always be TAX
ell with fair modicum of salt.

THE MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE.
Persistent RumOrs that it is Going
to be Built.

The New Orleans PIcayune says
There seems to be some ground
for the persistent rumor that the
Southern Pacific has taken definite
steps towards securing the bridge
across the Mississippi river at this
city.
A telegram was received by a
guest at the St. Charles Hotel yes
terday that contract has either
been let or will be very soon and
that the Phoenix Bridge company,
IN which Coils 2. Huntington is a
large stockholdcr, is soon to begin
active operations in the construction
Of this bridge. 1t is estimated that
several wears Will be required to
complete the structure and several
millions of dollars will be required
TO do the work.
The proposed bridge across the
Mississippi river will be one of the
greatest bridge building feats of the
age on account of The physical con-
ditlons. The country is flat, thus
necessitating lengthy and steep APP
proaches TO the main bridge.
The total length Of the bridge
between railroad connections will
be six and a half miles, as follows:-
Length of steel structure, 2:Ol
miles; length of main channel span,
lOO6 feet, length of short spans,
6O7 feet each; total length of main
bridge, 22SO feet, extreme height
Of towers to support the cant'lsyer,
176 feet, clear height of span above
high water, 95 feet; depth of foun,
da,lon below river bed, 70 ieet:
depth Of water at low water, lOO
feet.
The foundations for the towers
must he sunk far below the river
bed, thus making this work one ol
extreme danger.

It is estimated that ) million
dollars will be invested i'll mining
machinery and in new vessels for
the Cape Nome trade. One com
pany is shipping six miles of rail
road track and engines and cars
for the complete equipment OF a
line from Nome to the company S
mines, five miles back from the
beach. Together with a pumping
and complete hydraulic plant, the
investment of this company Will
not fall short of / million dollars.
Besides large expenditures by com
panies and individuals, the govern
ment is also spending a great deal
Of money in the purchase OF trans
ports, in establishing military
posts and making surveys OF mar
bors and rivers. Twenty-seven
steamers that first announced thell
sailing dates for Nome have solo
all their first class accommodations
at high rates. Several OF the Die
transports in the employ of the
government in the Manila trade
have been released and have Ell
tered for the Nome service. These
vessels are capable of accommo
dating from six to ten hundred
nassengers, and their freight ca
pacity is also great. The harool
of Seattle is floating every variety
Of craft, attracted by the Nome
rush. The fever is on in full forc'

Newspaper Law.

The following newspaper law
is for the protection of the pub
llshers of Louisiana:
l. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to continue
their subscriptions.
.. If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodicals,
the publisher may continue to
send them until all arrearageS are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re
fuse to take periodicals from the
office to which they are directed,
they are held responsible until
they have settled the bills and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to an
other place without informing the
the publishers and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they
are held responsible.
). The courts have decided that
.!refusing to take the periodicals
office or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud"
6. Any person who receives a
newspaper and makes use OF 1t
whether he has ordered it or not
is held in law to be a subscriber.
7. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the end OF their
time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it; otherwise the pub
Iislier IS authorized to continue
sending it, and the subscriber Will
be responsible until an express
notice, with payment of all arrears,
are sent to the publisher.

PUBLIC ROADS.

The Constitution of 1898 has
clothed the parochial authorities
with ample powers Of taxation in
order to obtain the necessary reve-
nues for the construction of good
public roads throughout the State.
The value of such highways as
a means of transportation of the
crops to market, and the free move
ment Of the people to and fro for
purposes of business and social en-
jOyment, are too well understood
to need any elaboration at my
hands.
The fundamental law has placed
at the command of every cOmmuni-
ty resources for better develop
ment along these lines, which
should be utilized at once by all
those parishes whose financial and
industrial conditions warrant eX-
penditures of this character for
public improvements. Sufficient
examples of the advantages and
profits resulting from well cOnsid-
cred investments in this direction
are before you, which will, l feel
assured, be speedily followed un-
til the entire system of local pub
lie roads shall have been complete
ly reyolutiOnized.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS
Governor Heard's remarks on
the subject of primary elections
occupied large space in his ad-
dress. We give some of the
Governors most important quota
tions on his very important ques
tiOns.
There is, ! believe, a well-defin-
ed sentiment in the State in favor
legislation by the General Assemb-
ly Oh the subject of primary elec-
tions. These play so important a
part in the selection of our public
officials, parish municipal and
State, that they should besurrOund-
ed by proper safeguards and re
strictions in order that they may
fairly and truly represent the
wishes of the majority of the party
participating therein
This field of legislation, while
comparatively new one IN this
section, has been exploited in Sc
yeral states with more or less sue
cess, and the General Assembly
will not be without some guide IN
that direction.
1t may not be oportune at this
time to suggest the probable
character and scope of such legis-
lation, but ! feel convinced that an
initial effort can be made that will
be generally acceptable to all, II a
bill be drawn in the simplest pos
sible form, outlining a system IN
expensive, from technicalitles and
onerous conditions, and involving
as little innovation as possible up
on previous party customs ana
traditions.
There could be, at all events,
no more opportune time than dur
ing the present session of the
General Assembly for a full con
sideration of the subject and the
beginning of legislation thereon
The Constitution of Louisiana,
taken all in all, with it's careful
division of the duties and respon.
sibities of the various departments
of government, with it's safeguards
and limitations, with its manifold
forms of protection for the lives
and property of the people, is, !
firmly believe, without a superior
in this country, where constitution
al government has reached 1T
greatest perfection.
| Governor Heard concluded hi
address with these words
To the full and faithful perfor
nance of my duty Of governor O
the whole people of Louisiana,
again pledge myself, and in tn
discharge of this, l shall confident
