THE state of Colorado is the victim
of the sensational press of Denver.
There eau be no doubt but more than
half the crazy excentricity of her peo-
pie is due to the very sensational and

the capital city of that state.

THREE BOYS CAUGHT
LOOTING A STORE
Street Car Men Discover Them in
Florey & Brooks Establishment
and Capture Them.

An attempt was made to burglar
lie Florey & Brooks Sporting Goods
store on Washington avenue, by three
young boys yesterday afternoon. Two
of the boys, whose names on account
of their families, will be withheld, were
caught in the act by some Of the men
employed at the street car barn, and
taken to the barn where they We're
given a thorough scare, and then re-
leased with the warning that If ever
again they were found in the neigh
borhood in a like act. they would be
given a severe drubbing.
The attempt to enter the store was
made at about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. At the rear of the second
floor one of the panes in the window
is broken. The boys placed a long
board against the wall, and while the
largest of the trio remained on watch,
one of the others climbed up the wall
by the aid of the board, and then
climbed up to the window, using the
iron grating of the window on the
ground floor as a ladder
He reached the window, unlatched it
by putting his hand through the pane,
and then sprang into the room an1
and letting in his companion.
The two boys We're in the building
when the street car men, who watched
the entire proceedings, made their ap-
pearance. The tall boy who was act
ing as outpost, saw them as they aD-
preached, and took to his heels with
out giving his more unfortunate COM
panions any warning.
The car men then entered the store
and brought one boy out. They played
Nemesis with a vengeance however on
the boy who did the climbing act
After his companion was out of the
building they made boy No. l lock the
door behind them, and then making
his egress from the building in the
same comfortable way that he made
his entrance.
They then took the boys to the cal
barn, and there put them through a
course OF humilating actions, after
which they released them.
The police were very much chag-
rined that the boys captors took the
law into their own hands, instead OF
taking the offenders to the police sta.
tion and letting justice be meted out
| to them in court.
1T was learned by the guardians
of law and order that before the boys
attempted to burglarize Florey &
| Brooks establishment they We're seer
| tamltering with the windows of 4
| livery stable in the neighborhood
| They We're seen by one of the mer
about the place however and fright
ened away before they could effec

HIGH WATER RATES.
Mr.. Costello's New Ordinance Based
on Mr., Melyin's,

The ordinance establishing water
rates for the city, and which was in
troduced in select council on Thurs
day night by j. j. C"TtcllO. Of the Third
ward, differs mate. ,ly from the ordi-
nance introduced last year by Il. c.
Melvin and which never got beyond
the branch in which it originated.
Mr.. Costello's ordinance is, to be sure,
based on Mr.. Melvin's measure, mas
much as all the peculiar classifcations
included in the latter are also included
in the Costello measure, but the rates
fixed are, in nearly all instances, very
much higher than in Mr.. Melvin's.
In the first place, the rate for a
dwelling house with a single family is
placed at Sc instead of at $3.75, as in the
original ordinance. The Sc rate is the
one now in existence. The rate for
each additional family of more than
two persons is fixed at S. instead OF
$3.50, and for additional families of two
persons only at SO, instead of $1.25.
The rate for a hotel bar, with or
without water. is S12, which is an in
crease of 81 over the figures in the
Melvin ordnance. For a drug store
counter fountain the rate is $10 in
stead of $3.50, while for barber shops
the rate is s. for the first chair, 81 for
each additional chair and $5 for each
bathtub. The Melvin rates for these
items were $780, $1.75 and SO, respect
lively.
The rate for each tub in a public
bathing establishment is fixed at IS in
stead OF s., while a uniform rate of $12
for photograph galleries is provided
for. The Melvin ordinance fixed the
rate of bottling establishments from
SIS to $50, according TO size, but Mr..
Costello believes there should be but
one figure, and that this should be $50.
The meter rates for water in large
| quantities are the ones which Mr.. Chit
| tenden brought in when he succeeded
| in amending Mr.. Melvin's ordinance.
They are as follows:
| For a daily average of between 10000 and 20,
| OOO gallons, cents per thousand.
| For a daily average OF between 10000 and so,
| OOO gallons cents per thousand
| For a. daily average OF over $4,000 gallons, 8
| cents per thousand
! Mr.. Costello is especially sangunr
| about the ultimate fate of the ordi-
nance and says it will pass but there
are some who believe that in attempt
! ing to get it through councils he is, in
the language of the street, "up against
! it for fair"

production Of Lawrence Maiston's
beautiful play. Credit Lorraine"
Every attention has been paid to de-
tails, so the production of Credit Lor-
raine" tonight should be witnessed by
n large attendance. There has been
no shows at this house since last May,
so no doubt the patrons are as anxi-
Gus for plays as the management of
the theater are to give it to them.
Nothing but the best of repertoire
companies will appear at the Academy
this season. The house has been
thoroughly renovated and every posi-
BILE thing has been done to secure COM
fort for the patrons.
Matinees will be given daily, COM
mencing Tuesday. on that day "The
Secret Enemy" will be the bill. The
price for matinees Is 10 cents, with
few choice seats reserved at 20 cents.
This is done at the suggestion OF many
ladies, who attend these matinees reg
ularly, and do not like the idea OF
crowding and hurrying in order to
get good seats. During the week such
well known plays as "The Social High
wayman," Iron Master" Friends"
Lights and Shadows" and the "Clc-
menceau Case" will be produced.
Ladies will be admitted this evening
for Is cents If seats are secured before
6 p. m. The house should and no
doubt will, be packed to the doors.

ALLEGED CRUEL TREATMENT
John Reighart Accused of Brutality
Beating His Child.

Alderman Kasson Saturday issued a
warrant for the arrest of John Reig-
hart, of North Ninth street, who is
charged with brutally beating his 10
year-old daughter, Lulu, with a braid
ed wire whip. He will be given a
hearing today.
The warrant was issued by Mrs.
Duggan, agent of the Associated
Charities, who was notified by some
of Reighart's neighbors that the child
was being brutally treated.
Mrs. Duggan discovered that Reig-
hart was a widower with one child,
Lulu, when he married his present
wife, who was a widow with a young
boy. He made an agreement with her,
it is claimed, that the girl should be
chastised by him alone, and the boy
by her.
The little girl misbehaved herself
last week, and Friday night the father
punished the child. He beat her with
a wire braided whip, it is alleged in
such a way that the child's back, arms
and lower limbs are now covered with
welts and bruises.
Saturday morning the girl was treat
ed to a turpentine bath to ease her
pain, and the additional smart caused
by the burning liquid, caused such
shrieks from the child that the neigh
bors visited the house and learned the
story.
Reighart is employed by Drayman
Brown.

THINKS 1T is THE EIGHTH.
Captain Weaver Discusses the Reor-
ganization Question.

Captain Peter Lyle Weaver, MILL
tary editor of the Philadelphia In
quirer, generally regarded as the most
expert military writer in the state,
has this to say regarding the contem-
plated reorganization of the guard:
"There is still another matter in
which an attempt to cause trouble in
the Guard is being made, and that is
the comments upon the announcement
that the Eighth infantry would prob
ably be disbanded, 1t being stated by
the enemies of the Guard that this
regiment was to be wiped out solely
for political reasons. This is another
of those mischievous lies which should
not be allowed to go without CONTRA
dlction. The facts are that more than
a year ago when the Guard was be-
ing reorganized, 1t was determined
that the organization should approxi-
mate that of the army.
There were fifteen regiments of in
fantry, twelve of which were COM
posed of eight companies each, ana
three regiments had ten companies
each; in addition there was a separ-
ate battalion and an Independent COM
pany of infantry. The army system
les each, and four regiments to the
brigade. To accomplish this and make
the brigades in this state equal in
strength, and, also, more even tactical
units, it was necessary to disband
three regimental organizations. Geo
graphical conditions were first consld-
cred, and then the efficiency of the
regiments was taken into account.
that two regiments should be disband-
ed in the Second brigade and one in
the Third brigade, thus allowing but
four regiments in each brigade. The
separate battalion of infantry in the
First brigade was assigned to an
eight-company regiment and the In
dependent company was disbanded.
One regiment, the Fifteenth infantry,
in the Second brigade, was disbanded
and the companies assigned to other
regiments.
Another regiment in that brigade is
to go, and rumor places the Four
teenth as the one. OF course, a hard
fight will be made by the regiment
and its friends in the western part of
the state to retain it, but if the Guard
Is to be put upon the proper tactical
basis then all wire-pulling will have
no effect, and the Fourteenth or one
other command will be dropped.
In the Third brigade it was predict
ed in the Inquirer more than a year
ago that either the Twelfth or the
Eighth would be wiped out, and it now
seems to have narrowed down to Col
onel Hoffman's command. 1t is sheer
| nonsense to claim that the authorities
| are actuated by mean political mo-
tives. Their course in the past has
| always been for the good of the Guard,
| and what is now contemplated is di-
rectly along the line of the greatest
good for the body at large"

The demure young shop girls of this
city need not be a bit surprised n few
days hence when they approach pros
pective male customers and ask them
If they can show them anything, to
have the said customers say: Yes,
you can show me your working card
certifying that you're a member Of
the clerks union"
Now, If the girl Is a real good girl
and If she wants to make a sale real
bad she will go down in her pocket
and produce such card, showing that
Miss Sadie Cash is a duly qualified
member OF Clerks union, No. IL, and
is to be recognized as such"
If the young lady cant show such
a card and II she isn't a member of
the union her lot will be hard indeed,
for according to the officers of the
Central Labor union, the customer will
turn on his heel and walk out.
A clerks union has been organized
in this city since last winter. but has
not been very successful inasmuch as
the membership is now only fifty.
Some few months ago the Central La
Dor union took up the question of boy
cottng those firms not employing
union clerks and after giving 1t care
full consideration took definite action
at yesterday afternoons regular meet
ing.
UNION ORDERS 1T.
1t was then unanimously decided to
have each delegate report back to his
local union that the Central Labor
union has ordered that hereafter no
union man is to purchase goods of
-
member of the Clerks union.
While not direct bovcott of the
| firms employing other than union help
this movement is nevertheless indi-
rectly one. The labor leaders are con-
| fident that they will meet with sue
cess in unionizing all the clerks in the
city by this plan. "We expect to treble
| the membership of the union before
Labor Day." said one Of them yester-
| day.
| At yesterdays meeting further pro-
| gress was made in the arrangements
for the Labor Day parade and picnic.
Assurances We're received from the Of
ficers of forty-five of the local unions
that they will participate in the par
ade. which will be, 1t is expected, the

seen in this city, even surprising last
