COL. ToRREY FOR wcE-PResIDEsI.

Jul. iOnnEi run
In another column of this issue of
The Colorsd American, we set forth at
some length the availability of Col, Jay
L. TOrrey, as the nominee for Vice
President of the United States. The
record speaks for itself and is bound
TO carry great weight with the thought
ful delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention. The Great West must be
reckOned with and Col. TOrrey is typi'
cal Of the breadth, generosity and
sturdy characteristics of that thriving
section of our land.
Judge TOrrey has long been nearly
as we'll known in the Capital City as
in his Western home, and is thorough
ly familiar with public affairs and
public men. His extensive public ex-
perience, his record at the bar and his
recent conspicuous service in the
Spanish American war as the Colonel
commanding the Second U. S. Volun'
teer Cavalry, better known as the
"Torrey Rough Riders" have led to
the suggestion of his name for nomina'
hon by the republican party as Vice
President of the United States, and the
suggestion now offered in the form of q
motion, seems likely to be passed by
large majority.
Col. TOrrey is sound on the question
Of human rights, and has always con-
tended for the equality of all citizers in
'hs enjoyment of privileges guaranteed
oy the Constitution and laws.
If Col. Torrey is nominated, as he
should be, he will be tower of strength

He DIES AT THE STAKE
Negro Who Cruelty Murdered a
Young Girl Near Limon,
Colorado.
FRIED ON THE SCENE OF HIS DEED
While the Mob Looks On, Occasional
ly Replenishing the Fire With
Oil and Wood.

Limon. Colo, Nov. 17.-Chained to n
railroad rail set firmly in the ground
on the spot where his crime was COM
mitted. Preston Porter, Jr., or as he
was Familiarity known, John Porter,
last evening paid terrible penalty for
his deed. 1t was 6:23 p. m. when the
father of the murdered girl touched
the match to the fuel which had been
piled around the negro, and twenty
minutes later a last convulsiye shud-
der told that life was extinct. What
agony the doomed boy suffered while
the flames shriveled up his flesh could
only be guessed from the terrible con-
tortlons of his face and the cries he
gave from time to time. The eXecu-
TONERS, a mob of about 800 citizens of
Lincoln county stood in. circle about
the fire until the body was entirely con-
sumed.
Didn't Know advanced Civilization"
Preston Porter did not seem to real
ize the awful punishment that he was
destined to undergo. For more than
an hour, while preparations for his ex-
ecution were in progress he stood mute
and sullen among the mob. When ev-
h1ythlng was ready he walked to the
cake with a firm step, pausing as he
s1eached the circle of broken boards to
kneel in prayer. After he was chained
kerosene oil was applied to the wood
and after a brief pause Richard w.
Frost, the father of little Louise Frost,
whose cruelty mutilated body was
found one week ago on that spot, ap-
piled match. For a moment but a
little Pickering fame arose.
Then the oil blazed up, sparks flew
into the air and the wood began to
crackle. Almost instantly the negros
trousers caught fire. Even though the
flesh must have been scorched he did
not utter a sound. The flames crept
slowly upward on his clothing, the
sparks flew up in cloud of pale
smoke. Porter turned his head and a
frlghtful expression changed his face
With sudden convulsive Juggling he
stretched his head as far from the rap
idly increasing flames as possible and
uttered a cry of pain. "Oh, my God!
let me go, men. I've got something
more to tell you. Please let me go. o.!

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is no
thing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Oswayo. Pa, Nov. 19.-Four men
were burned to death in fire which
Saturday destroyed the McGonigal
House, three-story frame building,
the hotel barn and the opera house.
The three buildings were burned to
the ground in half an hour from the
time the fire started. The. dead are:
Arthur Fletcher, bookkeeper for the
Pennsylvania Stave company; Michael
Russell, employee of the Pennsylvania
Tanning company, Oswayo; William
Mulhaney, of Rexford. n. Y; Hugh
Jamerson, of Alfred, n. y.
The town has no fire department,
the only protection being pump at
the tannery. The fire originated in
the McGonigal House from an oyer
pressure of natural gas. There were
thirty people in the hotel Otto Kauley,
a gas-lne walker, of Coudersport, Pa,
was burned about the face and arms,
and Jerry Daily sustained broken
shoulder by jumping from the third
story of the hotel. There were many
narrow escapes, most Of the occupants
jumping from the windows. Nothing
remains of the four unfortunate men
but few clarred bones.

value. When the stomach and the al
lied organs of digestion and nutrition
are diseased the nutrition contained in
food is iniperfectly extracted and the
body fails of nutrition adequate to its
needs. The shipwrecked sailor living
upon scraps in which there is no nutri-
ton is on level with the man who eats
abundant nutritious food but whose
stomach with its allied organs is dis
eased and therefore fails to extract from
the food eaten the nutrition which is
the body's need.
SOUND STOMACH, SOUND MAN.
That is almost an axiom. The man
with a sound stomach and good diges-
ton will in ordinary be sound man,
because the nutriment of food is the life
and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kid
neys and every organ of the body.
The first need of weak man is to
look after his stomach and his digestion.
