WIFE AND CHILDREN SUFFER.
Family of Stanley Well Known in
Rico---AppeaI For CIemency
"A Good Reputation.

The Sentinel is in receipt Of the fol-
lowing letter from the editor of the Rico
News-Sun, one of the best known men,
bers of the editorial fraternity in the
state
Rico, Colorado, May 10, 1900.
l. NJ Bunting,
Editor Daily Sentinel,
Dear Sir note in your issue of the
18th inst, that Il. G. Stanley, Of this
place, has been convicted Of assault and
battery in your city and sentenced to
five months in the county jail.
"The young man has a wife and two
small children in Rico who are depend
ent upon what money he can earn for
their daily bread, and he was on his way
to Montana to work with brother at
better wages than he could obtain here.
In order that his family would not be
without the necessities Of life should
anything happen that he would not OBJ
tain work Immediately after his arrival
in Montana, he left most Of the ready
money in his possession with his wife.
HE has always borne an excellent
reputation in Rico and believe him to
be the victim OF what railroaders term a
'razzle. dazzle He is not a tramp or
tough character and anything you may
be able to accomplish in bis behalf will
be greatly appreciated by me. know
the circumstances Of his family and IL
he is confined to the Jail for the period
specified it means that his wife and little
ones will suffer.
"Yours truly,
Geo. H, HUT"
The man Stanley referred to was SEN
fenced to five months in the county Jail
last week, on complaint OF Truman
Ketchum. His crime was assault and
battery. Not assault and battery with
intent to kill, but just plain assault and
battery.
Many cases Of this Ikind have been
tried in this city ard a simple fine i'm
posed. The hardship does not come
upon the man 30 much az it does upon
his dependent family, and il there are
any extenuating circumstances he should
have benefit OF same.
1t would be right and proper for Dis
trict attorney McMullin to look into the
affair and see if anything can be done
for the man in Jail.
| The story of the man himself has not
appeared in print, which il published,
might change the aspect of his crime
| considerably.

No Mistake Here.

The Sentinel announces its conversion
to Democracy. The Bugle welcomes it
most heartily into the ranks of the good
government party in all good will, as Of
old fraternal feelings Interrupted but re-
newed. We wsuld only suggest that
Brother Bunting do not mistake support
Of faction for support OF the party.
The former policy would be additional
loss to the party, the latter gain.-

 op=d with Modern Burial Casket
 Nowadays" said an undertaken of long exp rience. mot more ;han 25 pr cent. of those who die in cities are Luried in the old fashioned coffin: the rest are buried in the modern burial casket The percentage of cask cs used is still steadily increasing. and the only thing that prevents it's supplanting the Cofiin entirely is it's greater cost. Up to within very few years ,he cheap st casket made was one cloth-covs red. selling at about $5O to $6O. There is now produced a casket of wood stained i0 imitation of rosewood. that is sold for $35. But collins. of course. are much cheaper than that There are sill made some fine collins of oak. costing considerably more, but the grs atrr bulk C. the collins r used cost cOnsilera- bly less and are used by poorer peu- pie. Still. l look to see the day when oasksts can be sold at a price so low that the coffin will practically dlsap- | ar.
 Even now in the warerooms of the big coffin and casket manufacturers the coffin is no longer s2ld by ample.
 
 great numbers in the aggregate. but they are sold from the cajalogu the place they once held in the show roms i. now taken up by the modern casket. which i= made in simply hundreds of styles. 70 which new styles. caskets in new design and finish. or in some de- tail or other. are C instantly being ad- G-d.

there isn't a coffin in sight. There are seen h=re something as different from ,he c1ffin in form and appearance as il is possible to make it. burial casEets only. Baskets of carved oak and ma hogany. and caskets of aluminium. sand caske;s covered with cloth and l-hsh and with various oh r. fine fab rics. caskets in many styles and in black. and in white, anl in various c2lors: it is truly a marvellous display.

 Tn old times a coffin was tO b. seen Tn an undertaker's shop only upon oc- casions: now it is not an uncommon thing to see a burial cask't displayed there in d suitable showcase. For long time now. th-ush it is since the introduction of burial caske:s. it has been a custom. followed by many un- d-rtak IFS. in the more densely peopled parts of the city. to put in their show window child's burial caskat they would never think of putting d little coffin there. but the little casket is something very different. -, times if tn re = room in " " 1-Jw. there i< Sh wn the 9 "-. sized Caskat: but more often such d display as that Is made in a showcase inside; and such displays might be seen nowadays in under;akers' establishments in any rart cf the city. the cask-t thus shown Icing one costing. perhaps. $500, but more likely S1.OO0 or more. C mmonly such displays would be of a single casket; but in such establishm rts nowadays there might be seen wore han one and you might see a consiI- erable number thys displayed.
