A Real Novelty.

A novelty Of any kind is thorough
ly appreciated, but more especially
so in the amusement line, Of which
there are few. The one that enjoys
the distinction Of possessing really
more novelty and interesting features

animal show, which exhibits in this
city under tent, Monday July 237
The entire performance is given by
two hundred dogs, ponies, monkeys
and elephants, all of whom are fam
Gus for their intelligence They
have been educated to a wonderful
degree Of intelligence by Prof. Gen
try, who is Known the world over as
a successful trainer Of animals. The
prices of admission for this high
class moral and instructive enter
tainment are decidedly reasonable

Various Camps at Times

Pianos and Organs.

1t does not take the brains OF Dan
lel Webster to understand that the
principal item of cost in any manu-
featured article to the user or con-
sumer is the enormous cost OF selling
the article. It is estimated that
this item Of expense alone is almost
if not quite, equal 10 the cost Of
manufacture.
For examples no one can run a
regular music store, salar les and
commissions without addingtat least
800 to $50 to the cost Of each piano
and $25 to $40 to the cost of eoch
organ.
We have come to the conc1ution
that this business can be done along
different line, and save the pur-
chaser this enormous profit, and as
an experiment. we will put conclu-
sions and theory together.

DIRE PREDICTIONS
FOR GREAT BRITAIN

London, Nov. 5.-The reconstruction
of the British cabinet and the climax OF
lDwdyism which marked the home
coming of the City Imperial volunteers
were the topics of the week. The seri-
GUS weeklies frankly almit the shame
ftllness of last Monday nights mob
rule, for which the return of the City
Imperial volunteers from South Africa
was the excuse. The Speaker declares
the degrading influences of the last
twelve months have left neither self
control nor self-respect in the populace,
fed daily on diet of sensationalism
and passion
AS an appropriate conjunction of this
self-analysis and confession of at least
temporary degeneracy, the National Re-
view publishes striking articles forcibly
pointing out Great Britain's dire need
of political and economic reconstruc-
ton, the inadequacy of both the navy
and army, rs at present organized, to
meet possible and even probable emer-
gencies, and the inability of the coun-
try to cope with n sudden invasion.
These come from the pens of English
authorities which are neither historical
nor ignorant. George j. Goschen, the
retiring first lord or the admiralty, it is
said, has let the British squadron in
the far east be outnumbered by the
Germans, and the British fleet in the
Mediterranean is asserted to be far
below the necessary strength, without
coal stores and basis, while the home
dock yards are congested with reserve
ships that cannot be kept in order,
and an effective mobilization at short
notice is out of the question. Captain
Cairnes with convincing detail, exposes
how comparatively easy it would be
for France TO land several hundred
thousand men in England basing his
belief on the landing of American
troops near Santiago and marching
them into London before the whole mo-
bilization scheme could be put in ac-
ton.
Throughout these articles there is the
evident conviction that Great Britain
must soon fight one of the great pow
ers. Thesshadow of that struggle al
ready ovegies the land, which is not
moving hand or foot to meet the pend.
ing crisis

ESTIMATES FOR COLORADO
MADE BY BOTH PARTIES

Denver, Colo, Nov. THE Denver
Republican says:
Colorado has given Il majority for w.
j. Bryan and elected Bryan presiden-
tial electors. The Fusionists make the
claim that the Bryan electors will have
majority of from 10000 to $4,000.
The Republicans concede that the Bry-
an majority is substantial.
AS to the state ticket it is claimed by
the FusOnists that all their nominees
are elected and by majorities but n few
thousand below Bryan's majority.
Satisfactory figures on the state tick
ct could not be obtained up to o'clock
this morning and these figures, when
secured, may alter the estimates now
made.
John c. Bell, Populist, is claimed by
the Fusionists to be elected to Con-
sress from the Second district. The
FusiOnists claim the election of John C.
ShafrOth to Congress from this district.

morning fire broke out in the Golden

destroyed A large stock of paper

The plant was owned and operated by

through the plant and by the time the
alarm was given the fire was beyond

promptly and did magnificent work in
saving Senator Wells residence and the
Rock flour mills, both of which are To-
Gated in the same block. The large
warehouse near by was also saved
This was the first mill erected In
Golden and has been one of her most
profitable Industries. Senator Wells
has been connected with these mills for
over thirty years. OF late years the
attention OF the management has been
devoted to the manufacture of building
paper, and 1t was the only industry of
the kind west of the Missouri river,
which gave these mills practical mo-
nopoly of this kind OF paper. The en-
