Big Summer Assembly.

The Texas-Colorado Chautau-
qua at Boulder gives promise this
summer of out-distancing all
former precedents. Active work
has been in progress on the
grounds for several weeks and
many improvements have been
made. A school building of
seven rooms and assembly hall
and the "model home", which is
to be open daily for the inspection
of bousekeepers, arc among the
additions of special importance to
the Chautauqua. A dozen hand
some cottages are being built and
when the season opens, July LIST,
the grounds will present a strik-
ing appearance. Not less than IS
cottages will be furnished and
ready for occupancy, and 1875 Of
the handsomest blue and white
tents win be standing on the
mountain side.
Rev. DR.. Robert Mcintyre of
Chicago will deliver the opening
address this year. A great
preacher is to occupy the plat
form each of the seven Sundays
of the session, and distinguished
orators, lecturers, and entertain
ers will appear at the evening
assemblies. Ellis Brooks and his
OF eat band and orchestra will ar-
rive June Both and will be at the
Chautauqua for 46 days. Brooks
is one of the greatest orchestra
leaders in America. Among his
soloists is FISCHER, violin soloist
of the Thomas orchestra. The
vocal soloists of the Chautauqua
are numbered by the score and
the concerts will be the best ever
given at any Chautauqua of the
west.
The educational department this
year employs 40 instructors and
number of special lecturers. The
Chautauqua has one of the most
complete educational departments
ever arranged for summer work.
Mrs. j. b. Sherwood in her daily
art lectures. and Rev. Joshua
Gravett in his daily bible lectures,
are good features. The arrange
ments in all respects are more
complete than heretofore and re-
ports from other states indicate a
strong movement to Boulder for
this ssQueen of summer assem-
blies."
Chautauqua programs supplied
to all who apply.

GRANTED
Mrs. Tamney Re-
leased After p
Years.
Touching Scene in District
Court Wien Decree
is Given.
Fron penvor RepublIcan Jure galh

In Judge Aliens division of the
District court yesterday a jury
returned a verdict in favor of Ell
len Tamney in her divorce suit
against her husband, Michael, and
so ended married life of 23 tur-
bulent years. The question of al
i'm )ny will be settled tomorrow.
The couple were married in this
city July 10, 1877, and moved to
a homestead in Ebert county,
which has been occupied by them
ever since. They have seven chill
dren, five of them minors. Dur
ing the last seven years all the
children except the youngest,
Nora, aged IL, left home. Last
March 30 Mrs. Tamney and Nora
fled to Denver as Tamney had
threatened to drive his little
daughter off the place, and to
throw his wife into the creek.
Mrs. Tamncy, pale and tired
looking, testified on one occasion
that he had picked up stove lid
to throw at her, but had to drop
the missile because it was red hot.
Her testimony was corroborated
by that OF her son, Victor, who
told how his father had knocked
his mother down and dragged hei
by the hair about the house.
Before the commencement of
the trial Judge Allen attempted
to settle the matter out of court
and secure reconciliation If pos
sibie. Tamney. burly old man
in coarse blue and white shirt
and weather beaten coat, was put
on the stand, but he became so
boicterous and obstinate that the
court said testify: "Get up and
go out. / can see what kind of a
man you are. "
He then granted the wife's ap-
plication for $25 month and
temporary alimony as well as
costs and attorneys fees.
The Tamney ranch consists OF
400 acres in Ebert county, said
to be worth So an acre. There
are several head of cattle and
horses and farming implements.
Mr.. Tamney grew boastful when
the aliElony question was raised,
and announced lsudly that he
'.had raised more potatoes than
any man to the end of this world,
and another thing that is singular
to relate, 1 did the whole thing
myself"
During the whole time that she
was off the stand Mrs. Tamney
sat in the court room with her son
and her little daughter, weeping
softly when the jury's verdict was
read which broke the bonds which
had bound her husband and her.
self together for SO many years
Later.-Judge Allen yesterday
ordered that the property be di-
vided evenly between husband and
wife.

Motion to Dismiss Suits

Washington, August 3. = The attorney general today sent notices to the attorneys general of Norh Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida that, in compliance with the terms of the sundry civil act of June 6, 1900, he would submit motions at the opening of the United States Supreme Court in October next to dismiss the pend- ing suits against these several States to recover the payment of the principal and interest on certain bonds and stocks given by them to the United States.
 The bonds came into the possession of the government in various ways. A large pro- portion, however, were purchased by the secretary as trustee of Indian trust funds as an investment of these funds. Many of these transactions were made fifty years ago.

NEW CANAL COMPANY
Will Proceed to Garry Out Terms of
 Contract at Once

New York, August 9.-John D. Crimmins, of the syndicate formed to construct an inter-oceanic canal through Nicaragua un- der the concession given by the Govern ment of Nicaragua to Edward Eyre and Edward F. Cragin, the existence of which was proclaimed yesterday by President Ze- lava, said today that the company to con- struct the canal, organized under the law of New Jersey, would proceed to carry out the terms of the contract without delay.
 MT Crimmins said that the company would prefer to have the Government leave the matter in the company's hands so as to permit a private construction and op- eration of the canal for the benefit of the whole world
 MT. Crimmins says:
 Our concession is perpetual. It gives us the right to police the country for ten miles on either side of the canal whereas the Maritime Companys concession polic- ing was to be done by the Nicaraguan Government"

NICE DIPLOMATIC
 SCHEME ON FOOT By Which Trouble Will be Avoid
 ed With China. ONLY A FEW STEAMSHIPS Officials Do Not Expect Serious Oppo- sition on the Part of the Chinese Forces and Commission Will
 be Appointed.
ONLY A FEW STEAMSHIPS

Washington. August 3.-It is learned from fairly reliable inside sources this morning that this government has on foot a nice diplomatic scheme to avoid trouble with China. Many administration officials believe that the allied powers will not meet with much opposition in the advance to Pekin, and that only a few skirmishes will result just outside of Tien Tsin. Af- ter the two armies have been arrayed one against the other at Pekin. there will be a truce and hestilities will be suspended pending a demand of the powers to deliver the foreigner Ministers to the allied forces. It is expected that the Imperial govern ment of China will be very willing to ac- cede to this proposition. This having been accomplished, the American forces, togeth- CT with the British and Japanese, Will withdraw to the coast. Then a commis- sion will be appointed to treat with the Chinese government relative to indemnity and reparation.
 This is said to be the scheme. The ad- ministration is ready to back down even at this critical moment. While the new plan might prove to be clever piece of diplo- macy, it is expected thatit will work better in theory with the officials in the quiet de- partment than it will with the military in the stirring times in China. It is doubtful whether other powers will agree to the plan. Yet it is said that if America, Eng land and Japan are together in the move- ment the other powers could not possibly afford to push the attack on Pelin. It is the belief of those who hold to the peace theory, and they include several men of prominence in administration circles, that the opposition in the United States, Great Britain and Japan to any dismemberment of China will prevent prolonged war, and that by the delicate diplomacy to be em- ployed by this government China's territo- rial integrity will be preserved

AMERICANS HANDICAPPED
By Delay in Landing of the Cavalry
 Horses

Washington, August S-The operations of the American forces in China are seri- ously handicapped by the delay in the landing of the cavalry horses, owing to the lack of lighters and other small craft. Two squadrons of the Sixth Cavalry arrived at Taku with General Chaffee on the Grant several days ago, but in the absence of their mounts have been of no further use than regular foot troops, and delay will occur in unloading horses from the Lenox, Conemaugh and Leelenaw, all at or on the way to China. It is estimated at the War Department that there are about 2,50o American troops, including 75o marines, in the vicinity of Tien Tsin, available for ac- tive operations against the Chinese capital, with prospects of 5000 endorsements from the United States arriving in small detach- ments within the next two months. In view of the small American representation the spot, 1t is not regarded at the War Department as probable that General Chaf- fee would be selected to command the al- lied forces.

BENEFIT AT EAST LAKE
Largely Attended and the Performance
 Was Splendid

A standingroom house greeted Miss Nef- son and Miss Pfaf at their testimonial last night at East Lake, when East Lynne was presented. The play was given an artistic handling at the hands of Miss Nelson and her support, and both she and Miss Pfaff, seeming to eaten an inspi- ration from the large audience assembled, looked prettier and acted better than at any time during their engagement here.
 MT. Frederic Herzog, the new leading man of the company, is an excellent actor, and was a capital Archibald Carlyle. L. J. Slevin, Earl P. Adams, Katharine B. Glenn and Frank Hall each rendered their parts admirably and, taken altogether the pro- duction was one such as is seldom seen in the park theaters.
 Tonight the Robson Theater Company will close its engagement here, presenting ''Ten Nights in Barroom." This good old play was presented last Saturday night, and drew the largest house of the season, and it is safe to predict that tonight's house will be another record-breaker.
 Monday night the Edwards-Davis Stock Company will hold the boards at the East Lake theater, under the stage direction of MT. Earl F. Adams, who remains with MT. Davis throughout the season. MT. Adams will appear in a black-face part.

HOU SEE OF LORDS
Another Sharp Passage of Words Be
 tween the Leaders

London, August 3.-Another breeze blew up in the House of Lords today as the outcome of the debate on Friday last re- garding the allegation that England was not invulnerable against an attempted in- vasion. Lord Roseberry today somewhat testify resented the remarks of the Secre- tary of State for War, the Marquis of Lansdowne, taking him to task for sug- gesting that the commander of the forces, Lord Wolsely, ought to come to the House and give his authority to the government S military plans. Lord Roseberry said he did not propose to be snubbed in the dis charge of what he considered a public duty. The Marquis of Lansdowne, he said, must be disabused of the idea that there existed in the country blind, ven- erating confidence in the War Office.

HEAL THY SCHOOL MA'AM
Found Out How to Feed Herself

Many school teachers, at the end of their years work, feel thoroughly exhausted and worn out, physically and mentally The demand upon the nerves and brain of a teacher is unusual, and unless they are well fed, and fed upon properly selected food, it is natural that they should run down. -1
 A little woman teacher at Gobleville, Mich, who has been teaching regularly for a number of years, has always found her. self thoroughly exhausted at the end of the session, until within the last year she has made use of Grape-N Nuts Food with the re- suit that she closed the year as a robust, healthy, strong, vigorous woman, having gained in weight from ninety pounds to 126; her nerves strong, face bright and cheery, and really a wonder to all her friends, who constantly comment on her color and strength. She knows exactly to what the change Is attributed, for in the years past, living on ordinary food, she has almost broken down before the school year closed, whereas since using Grape-Nuts. this change has been brought about; evil dence prima facie of the value of Grape Nuts Food for rebuilding the brain and nerve centers.
 The name of the teacher can be given by Postum Cereal CompanX Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.

CHER AND ROWE
 RENEW THEIR FIGHT
In the Streets of Ensey Yesterday, Bat Without Rules or Referee-Both
 Received Bruises.

Yesterday morning Oscal Geier and Joe Rowe, who engaged in ten round mill at Ensley Thursday night, under Marquis of Queensbery rules, met again, but under different circumstances.
 It will be remembered that the fight Thursday night was declared a draw. There was some dissatisfaction among Geiers packers, they maintaining that their man really got the best of the fight. It is said that Geier himself believed that he had been unjustly deprived of the streets of Ensley yesterday morning, told him so. Rowe denied it. and as is usual in such cases, one word brought on an other. It was not long before the two men were engaged in second mill but without rules, referee or ring. There were no packers, and very few spectators, but, from all accounts the second fight was livelier than the first. It has not been ascertained who drew first blood but it is said that 1t flowed freely. Fresh cooring was added to eyes already blackened the night before Bruises were put on places neglected in the first encounter, and places that had received attention before were given additional touches.
 It is alleged by several persons present at the time that Geier got the better of the argument yesterday.

4 DANGEROUS FIRE
 IN FIRST AVENUE
At an Early Hour This Morning. Fire In Kings Store Quick
 Iy Extinguished.

This morning at about 1:S0 o'clock, a fire broke out in the rear of Kings store, in First avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. .5A 5A-l
 Officer Veitch, whose beat Is in and around First avenue and Nineteenth street, discovered the fire, and turned in the alarm. The firemen responded promptly and hurried around to the rear door of the place, where, under the direction of Chief Mullin, they made an opening in one of the windows that face in First alley. A stream from the chemical engine was sent through the opening, full upon the blaze.
 Another opening was made at the front door, the glass being broken out for the purpose through which Chief Muliin and several firemen climbed. The whole store was filled with dense smoke, large quanti- ties of which poured from the windows up- stairs. The fire was at no time very fierce one, but would have been very disas- trous but for the prompt and efficient work of the fire department.
 The amount of the damage Is not very great.
