ONE THOUSAND TELEGRAPH
OPERATORS OUT ON A STRIKE

At seventeen minutes past 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the above dispatch
was flashed over the wires into the
city office of the Santa Fe road in Den
yer. A few minutes later the operator
of the company on duty at the office
closed his telegraphic key, reached for
his hat and overcoat and walked out.
AS the Santa Fe system includes
more than 5000 miles of railway, it
was estimated that more than 1000
telegraph operators left their posts in
response to the peremptory order of
Grand Chief Dolphin. The strike was
almost wholly unexpected by outsid-
ers. as it was generally believed the
controversy between the operators and
the railway company would be con-
fined to the Texas division. On ac-
count also of the recent contract gov
erning all branches of the road west of
Albuquerque and requiring employees
to give thirty days notice of a strike.
the announcement that hundreds of
men had quit their positions was re-
ceived with incredulity. In railway
circles it was prophesied last evening
that the strike will be to n finish, and
will be one of the most determined la
Dor wars known for years in the West.

1--WE have all heard of magic cities
in the mountains. l have never known
of mountain city that would compare
with Sugar City in the valley of the
Arkansas. Throughout the valley it
has been fully demonstrated that the
first years crop of sugar beets will
sell for $50 to $50 per acre. Unlike
cantaloupes, potatoes and other prod
ucts of the ground shipped from Colo
RADIO, the market for sugar is unlimit-
ed. The value of sugar consumed by
the American people is about as great
as the value of the flour consumed by
them. We have the climate, the peo-
pie and the soil, and | venture to say
that the success of sugar beet culture
in Colorado will create a land boom
throughout the entire state"

Public sentiment will generally ap
prove the action of the New YORK
sheriff who recently arrested lady
cyclist" She was trying to cover
three thousand miles in quicker time
than that distance had ever been rid
den before, and when the sheriT in
terfered had already covered twenty
six hundred miles in less than twelve
days. She was in such pitiable con-
dition that people living near the
scene of her riding made complaint. 1t
may not be necessary to regard such
person as a criminal, but any one who
knows no better than to impose such
n strain upon her own health, II not
upon her life, is better off In custody
than out of it.

always supposed these affections to
be different diseases, but have
learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and
are properly called catarrh.
"As for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Pe-
runa, have found it to be the best,
II not the only reliable remedy for
these affections.
"Peruna has been my standby
for manyyears, and attribute my
good health and my extreme age
to this remedy. 1t exactly meets
all my requirements.

FIGHTING IS VERY SEVERE
Continues tor Two Days and
Both Sides Must Have Suf-
fered Heavy Loss.
News Has Unpleasant Effect
Although the Setback May
Not Be Serious.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Rensberg, dated Tues
day, says:
"There has been hard fighting for two
days near Colesberg, the Beers making
strenuous efforts to outdank the British
there. The enemy occupies strong posi-
lions from Achtereang, through Potion
tein, to point five miles south Of JAS
fOntein.
"The fighting at our outpost camps
has been very severe during the last few
days. Yesterday the Beers attacked
the position of the Worcestershires to
the south of Colesberg. Fighting con-
timed all day and after dark it was con.
sidered necessary to withdraw to Rens-
berg. Our losses are not yet known.
ION the left the West Australians,
Wiltshires and Berkshires had hot fight
ing, but held their positions against long
odds. The Boer losses were consider.
able.
lowing to the growing difficulty OK.
perienced by conveys in reaching the
camps all of the latter were vacated last
night and the troops withdrew to Rens-
berg.
1.-The Beers are burning the farms Of
the loyaists, but the latter have con-
trived to get away with their stock"
