any influence Colorado will, of course,
take from the Ull' ed States Senate
the. only representative Colorado has
at Washington with an ounce of in
fiuence, and replace him by = nom
entity, like those in the
House of Representatives. Colorado
is noted for doing those things most
harmful in everything political.
Senator Teller and Representatives
Bell and Shaffroth may be very good
men, but their influence on national
legislation is about as great As the
fellows who dust the desks or the
boys who run the elevators. What
have they done for Colorado? What
can they do?
All the favors and benefits Colorado
has derived from Washington have
come through Senator Wolcott.
Canon recently applied to have free
delivery of mails. Senator Teller and
Representatives Bell and SAaffroth
were willing, but acknowledged them
selves powerless to do anything. In
an hours work Senator Wolcott did
more than these other gentlemen
could have done in a thousand years,
because Mr.. Wolcott is respected n
Washington and has some influence
with the National Government.
Canon can thank Senator Wolcott
for having free delivery of mails.
Every town has similar story and
the State can count a thousand bene-
fits from having Republican Senator
at Washington.
But according to Tom Patterson
Colorado will, of course, retire its
only influential member of the United
States Senate and elect in his place
some scheming, uninfiuential political
demagogue, like he who edits the
Denver News. Colorado has done
similar things before.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
each the diseased portion of the ear.
There is. only one way to cure deafnAss
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu.
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can DE ia
ken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh; which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. .

Gymnasium Exhibition, Opera Hou

Gymnasium Exhibition, Opera House.
The gymnasium exhibition at the
opera house this Friday evening will
be success.
In these days so many men spend
their lives in sedentary employments
and of those who are. ingaged in
manual labor SO many are forced into
unsymmetrical development, that a
man combining strength and symmetry
is hard to find. Our grand parents
lived out doors and stored up large
amount of surplus vitality. Our
parents have lived indoors, used up
this vitality and left their children
bankrupt. To the redevelopment Of
vitality and muscular energy the Y.
NJ. c. A. gymnasium is dedicated.
This exhibition will present the
work along this line. Strength of
muscle, skill in execution and on all
round development of the physical
organism will be everywhere manifest
during the evening. The dumb bell
and Indian club drill will afford fas-
cinating entertainment for those who
love the music of motion" The
work on the German horse is as
thrilling as dramatic climax and the
difficult feats on the parallel bars are
performed with apparent ease.
Watch for the fun when the tumbl-
ing begins. The physical director
with four juniors perform all sorts of
feats of agility and amusing combi-
nations.
Miss Briggs, Mrs. Martin. Miss
Ragsdale and others will atsist in the
literary and musical portions Of the
program, making in all an eni ertair-
ment by home talent no one can af-
ford to miss.
Come and fill the house and see
what your boys and your neighbor's
boys can do. The proceeds will be
used to help in the maintenance Of
the association.
Since securing the opera house the
price has been reduced Reserved
seats in the orchestra circle 35c, and
in the parquet 25c. Tickets for sale

moved to Great Bend. Kansas, where

at Villas, Colorado, remaining there

He was a man of great activity,
strong mental ability, and an exemp-
larry christian character. He lived the
life of manhood and true devotion,
and died like true soldier of the
cross. He leaves wife, three daugh-
tei's and one son. Mrs B Dawson,

In the course Of n discussion on the
familiar question Of the value of
lightning rods, the Electric World
and Engineer says
1--WE would take the position that
there is abundant evidence to show
that lightning rods do protect tall
buildings of non.conducting material
burt that the protection employed Is
not always the most economical. In
stead of carrying single stout cop
per rod through insulators from the
chimney top to the ground. we think
II would be more effective to employ
huif u dozen uninsulaied galvanized
iron telegraph wires from roof to
ground, and inter.COnncct them all on
the roof, with the object of providing
conductor than an isolated duct be-
side the house. There are numerous
instances on record Of lightning dis
charges having been conveyed To
ground from the tops Of telegraph
poles through the ordinary No. iron
wire provided for that purpose with
out injury TO the wire, and such ma.
terinl is both plentiful and economi-
cal. in. all cases the ground that the
i.e,Ne sees not Is. probably of morecim'
SpQrtaHge than TO successful assurance
S.tAa9 the cpndnctorilnIc The eve can
The reader may be remind.
ed that by the term ground" theelec.
triciNn means connection between
a wire above the surface of the earth
and the layer Of perpetual moisture
in the earth. Unless this connection is
made with great care 1t win prove
worthless, and in the case of light.
ming rods rob them utterly Of their
value, 1t takes lirlc TO interrupt
the flow of electricity. 4 short air
gap or burial In dry earth will render
the whole system void, Any form of
lightning rod, cheap or expensive,
ought TO he carried down three, four
or five feet below the surface TO u re-
gion where the soil keeps moist all
the year round. Water is one Of the
best conductors known. and If n
thunderbolt which otherwise would
make mischief can he lead down to
damp earth it will quickly and harm
lessly distribute itself. The practice
of attaching big piece of oldiron to
the lower extremity of lightning rod
is n good one TO observe, burt even this
will he of no benefit IL the soil about
II becomes dry Everything depends
on good ground connection.
