A Blue Grass Ballad.

He was shot in old Kentucky,
where they make the mountain
d$s, and mothers feed their babies
on hot revolver stew; where you
wake up in the morning shot full
Of bullet holes, and find your sole
companions are disembodied souls.
He was shot in old Kentucky,
where their aim is always true, and
the principal amusement is shoot
ing people through; where the
doctors use as medicine for all the
human ills, a dose or two of bull
lets instead of giving pills.
He was shot in old Kentucky,
where "feuds" grow ON the trees,
and the bullets from the rifles buzz
through the air like bees; where
the instruments they play on when
they give a dance or hop, are their
musical revolvers, and they ''call
off" with pop.

The bill appropriating all money
collected on Porto Rican products
under the Dingley tariff and all to
be collected while that law remains
in force, to be used for public pur-
poses in Porto Rico, has become a
law, and steps have been taken to
relieve the immediate necessities OF
the islanders so far as it may be
done by spending money literally
on public works.

Captain John Tetard.

Captain John Tetard died at his
residence in Crested Butte on
Monday morning from a complica-
ton of diseases resulting from two
attacks OF pneumonia and a chronic
case of muscular rheumatism, He
passed away peacefully and con
tentedly. Mr.. Tetard had been i'll
for more than three years and had
been confined to his bed continu-
ously since last November. Dur
ing his entire period of illness his
devoted wife was in constant at
tendance and tenderly ministered
to his every want. She was indeed
q comforting angel.
John Tetard was born in Chi
cago on June q, 1889, and was
therefore 80 years, 8 months and 2
days old. He passed the greater
part Of his life at Kenosha, Wis,
where he acquired the title OF
"Captain,' having served as such
officer on lake vessels for a number
of years. He was marshal of the
city of Kenosha in 1871 ana 1872,
and in the latter year was elected
sheriff of the county, which Office
he filed, as a local paper said,
with credit to himself and those
who placed him there" Mr.. Te-
tard came to Crested Butte in 1881
and engaged in mining, but did
not make a success of the venture.
In those days when lawlessness
abounded on every hand, he served
as marshal of the town for several
terms, and by his daring determi-
nation and great physical ability,
became a terror to evil doers. He
afterwards served as mayor with
much distinction. AS a member
OF the firm of Carlisle & Tetard,
which successfully carried ON a
general merchandise business here
for Gn extended period, he became
widely known in mercantile circles.
Mr. Tetard was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence. active.
energetic, persevering and aggress-
i've in all things which he under
took. He lived life of usefulness
and was always gentle and kind
husband and a fond parent, and by
his demise the community loses
one of its most prominent and best
citizens.
a widow, one daughter, Mrs. n.
C. Wheeler, of Denver, and two
sons, John, Jr., of Omaha, and G,
W, of this city, survive him.
Mrs. Tetard left today for Ke-
nosha with the body.

The insincerity of Democratic
pretensions is illustrated by their
performances in the House of
Representatives on the Porto Rican
matter. On the day Of the passage
of the bill temporarily regulating
the tariff relations between the
island and the United States they
were rending the air with their
shrieks in favor OF the Porto Ricans
and demanding freedom of trade
between that island and the United
States. The next day the Presi-
dent sent to the House @ Message
proposing to return to The Porto
Ricans every dollar that had
been paid in duties collected on
their products since the United
States took possession of the is
land, and all that shall be so collect
ed in future. thus giving them
practically what the Democrats had
clamored for and handsome lump
sum of over $2,00O,o00 for immedi-
ate relief of their sufferings. Yet,
behold those same Democrats who
on Thursday were demanding this
very thing in principle, on Friday
bending every energy to defeat it
by speeches, by filibustering, by
trickery of all sorts, by fair means
or foul. No wonder the public re-
fuses longer to accept the utter
ances OF leaders Of such party as
sincere or worthy of serious con-
sideration.

The Bryanite camp, which has
been flirting with the Republican
anti-expansionists in the hopes Of
securing their votes, must be great
ly disappointed at Senator Hoar's
recent statement that the expansion
question must be fought out in the
Republican party, and that the al
Tentative of electing Bryan is not
to be contemplated for moment.
The Senator says; "Bryan's cleo
ton means, If he and his party can
have their way, the destruction of
our unrivaled prosperity, lower
wages, scantier employment for
our workingmen, the debasing of
our standard of value, furnishing
the national faith, the destruction
of credit, she arraying of class
against class, bringing into con-
tempt the authority of the supreme
court and undermining the security
of property and value" Perhaps
Mr. Bryan viii no longer consider
Senator Hoar such a nice old
gentleman.
