A movement has been started by citi.
zens of Minnesota to make a national
park at the sources of the Mississippi
river. As the primeval forests In the
borders of the United States are rapidly
decreasing, owing to the operations Of
iumbermen, it Is felt that it will not be
long before the people viii have no
means Of knowing how Old America look
ed in its original state. The regions
around the headwaters Of the Mississippi
now constitute about all OF the original
dense woodlands left. The place has an
other attraction in being the home of
the indians whom Losgfeilow rendered
celebrated in his poem, "Hiawatha."

the same way they did cepturies ago,
aud while they are harmless, their wild
ways are an interesting relic of the past.

J. Emmett Scott of Texas. They
were met at the depot by a number
of representative white and co!ored
citizens, wis gave him hearty and
cordial welcome to Denver. Mr..
Washington and party were taken in
hand by the committee and escorted
to Brown Palace Hotel which will be
his headquarters during his stay in
the city, Mr.. Washington looks we'll
and admires the climate aud possibil-
tiles of Colorado. He talks hopeful
Iy Of the improving conditions of the
colored people ip the West and East,
and the enlarged opportunities in the
Sonth for steady progress along lines
of agric ultural and industrial educa
tion.
Mr.. Washington's lecture at Central
Presbyterian Church last night drew
out the largest and most interesting
audience that has yet been in attend
ance in the course. His treatment of
this much controverted Negro Cues
ton" compelled the conclusion of all
thoughtful men that his methods are
at once Legitimate, sound and capable
of demonstration and solution. AT
ter the lecture Mr.. Washington WAS
taken in carriage by a committee OF
the Ministerial Alliance and driven TO
Arapahoe Cafe where he WAS met by
a delegation of representative colored
men of Denver. including the Minis
ters Alliance, official board of church
es, editors. business men, representa-
tives of lodges, fraternlties, etc. Gov

miuute toasts on "Our Endorsement
OF Mr.. Washington's Work." WAS de
lIvered by E. H. Hackley, Editor Riv
ers, George Contee and T.. L, Bruce
The response was given by Prof.
Washington who spoke in highest
terms of his reception and Opportunl
ty to meet and speak with the colored
citizens of Colorado, and it is need
less to say that Mr. Washington's ad
dress left deep impression upon
those who were fortunate to hnve the
pleasure of this gathering.
The contract under which Mr.
Washington was to the lect1re com
mittee, prohibited him from appear
ing before any other audience while
in Denver and also from all functions
of public nature while in the city
hence arose the necessity of this gath

THE LAST STRAW.
Oil Trusts Enormous Dividend At
tracts Attention In Congress.

Washington, March 17.-Representa-
tive Fitzgerald (Mass) has introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas, 1t appears as a matter OF
public record that the Standard Oil
company paid in the city of New York
on March Is, 1900, the sum of 81, 900, 900,
this amount being an extra dividend in
addition to the regular quarterly divi-
dend of three million dollars, and
Whereas, 1t is a matter of public
record that this last dividend is five
million dollars in excess of the last
quarterly dividend paid by this cor
poration. and
Whereas, It is also a matter of pub
lie record that the price of kerosene oil,
the sole means of lighting used by the
middle and poorer classes of people,
during the period of time between the
declaration of these dividends was in
creased three cents per gallon, consti-
tuting a tax on every home in the land;
therefore be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of con-
gress this action of The Standard Oil
company is in direct violation OF the
provisions of the Sherman antitrust
law and therefore punishable by fine
and Imprisonment, and the attorney
general is hereby directed, In accordance
with the provisions of that act to direct
the several district attorneys in their
respective district to institute proper
proceedings to bring the above named
violators Of law to Justice"
