Tho Eclipse

Tho Eclipse
The eclipse was on time Mon-
day morning. The sky was bright
and cloudless here, most suspicious
for viewing the wonderful pheno-
menon. Though a few miles north
west of the line of the center of
totallty the spectacle was perhaps
as beautiful, grand and ave- in
spring here as directly on the
line OF the center. Almost every
body was out with pieces of smok-
ed glass and many fairly went in
to ecstacies over the beautiful
sight, while others expressed a
peculiar feeling due to the weird
surroundings. The period of to-
tality here was about II minutes.
Thu ee stars were visible, the eve-
ming star just above the horizon
in the East, Mercury to the right
of the sun and another star in the
South. We do not undertake to
describe the appearance of the
eclipse-it was simply grand. A
notable fall in the temperature
was observed.
The effect on the lower animals
was just as predicted: cows bel

Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dys-
pepsia and liver complaint. More than
soventy-five per cent. of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects:
such as soul stomach, sick headache,
ha bitual costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, water-brash, gnaw-
ing and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach. yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth,
coming up OF food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get a bottle of August Flower for rs
cents. Two doses will relieve you.

A THINKING Machine,

A famous inventor declares he has
devised a machine that will abolish
warfare. This machine is a boat that
will go without men on board, and can
be- controlled for any distance with
out wires. 1t will obey orders from
the land or it will act on its own judg-
ment, according to the necessities of
the situation. 1t will carry an unlim-
tied quantity of explosives. which can
be aimed with unerring accuracy.
Progress has achieved wonders during
this century. The fact that it can find
no substitute for Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. proves the inestimable value
OF the Bitters. So long as constipation,
indigestion, dyspepsia. liver and kid
ney troubles continue to affect man
kind, so long will the Bitters stand as
the one sure cure for them.

FOLLOWING INDIANS.
Reports From the Colorado Game War
dens Who Are Out.

Meeker, Colo. Nov. 29.-Word came
in last night from a ranchman named
Joseph Mckee that a large band OF In
dams passed Rangely six days ago
headed for Spring creek and Yellow
creek, where there are lots of deer. 1t
is not known whether or not they have
left, and it is believed they are killing
the deer in that section.
The deputies and the game wardens
have left their wagons and heavy stuff
a. Angora and have taken camping
outfit and saddle horses and are in pur-
suit of them. They expect to overtake
them before tomorrow evening. If the
Indians are overtaken trouble is eX-
pected, as the red men are determined
they will not be taken into custody and
will put up a strong fight. They are
very indignant against the whites,
more especially at the buckskin police.
The only possible way for the In
dams to escape is by getting some word
from ranchmen or persons in sym
pathy with them. 1t is highly probable
that the Indians are encampcd along
the creeks. There is only one way for
them to come III unless they strike a
trail over the mountains. and in case
they do they will most likely be over
taken by the wardens. They will be
arrested and brought to Meeker for
trial.
1t is also reported that two large
bands are encamped in Coyote basin.
