BIG CATTLE SHIPMENT.
Nearly A Thousand Head Of Fine
Steers Satisfactory Prices Re-
cclved- Drive.

One day last week there were nire
hundred and sixty head of fat steers
driven through Canon City to ship ing
corrals of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad. This wonderfully fine look
ing bunch of cattle we're gathered in
the western portion of this county.
and was one of the largest and best
ever shipped from this point. They
we're one, two and three year olds,
and brought prices that were satis-
factory to the stockmen.
The yearlings brought $2l 90 per
head. The two year olds $500, and
the three year olds, $3l.OO.
The total amount received for this
bunch was about $4,000 and this
amount will go to swell business in
the county.
The purchaser was W. L. Knight,
representing a large commission
house at Scott City, Kansas. The
purchaser was not only greatly pleas
ed over the condition of the cattle,
but especially 20 over the careful
manner in which the cattle had been
treated during the long drive from
the range to this point. The ship
ment was made over the Denver and
Rio Grande in Palace cattle cars.
Among those who helped supply
the cattle were noticed such promi-
nent cattlemen as A. C. Scmervi!le,
Gardner Brothers, J. C. Hyssong,
Andrew Johnson, D. N. Walker, W.
H. Pigg, Robert Foster, W. Gribble,
A. Rowe and Ward Brothers.
These gentlemen report the range
in fine condition and promises well fol
winter feed.

Origin of "under the Rose,

In Greek mythology the rose was the
symbol of silence, as it was said that
Cupid. the son OfEenus. gave the god of
silence 4 golden rose as n bribe TO con-
ceal the amourS of the goddess of love.
1t was, therefore. sculptured on the
ceilings of banQucting halls and placed
as Il sign above the doors of question
able resorts. Guests ut feasts were
crowned with roses to intimate that
their conversations while in their cups
were not to be repeated elsewhere.
The phrase obtained currency in
Greece after Pausanias. the admiral OF
the Greek fleet, plotted with XerXes to
betray the cause of the Greeks by sur
rendering the ships. the negotiations
being conducted in small banqueting
hall, the roof of which was, as usual.
covered with sculptured roses. The
plot. however, was discovered and or
ders given for the arrest of the traitor.
Pausanias endeavored to make his ref
uge in n temple which possessed the
right of asylum. Unwilling to violate
the sanctity of the place by forcibly
removing him and still more unwilling
to allow him to escape. his fellow citi
Zens walled up every entrance and,
by one account. left him to die of star
walton; by another, killed him by I'M
roofing the building and throwing
down the tiles on his head.

Tired MRfnIs

1t is fact Of comparatively recent
discovery in chemical metallurgy that
metals lose their vitality from repeti-
tions of shocks and strains and may bc
said, as the expression is. to suffer
from fatigue-that is.s they may be
worked till their molecules fail TO hold
together.
As is familiarly known. bars of tin,
rods OF brass and wires OF any metal
will separate owing to fatigue if bent
backward and forward continuously.
But by careful experiments, however,
the fact is made to appear that a rem
edy exists for this condition of metals
if the Overstrain does not border on
rupture. and this remedy is very much
like that which is applied in the case
of an overwOrked human frame
namely. rest.
Feather edged tools recover their VI
tality better than any other. OF course
the length of time required for this rest
varies with different metals and the
amount of strain to which they have
been subjected.
Hard metals. such as iron and steel,
use up one and two years time in the
process On the other hand. soft met
ais. like lead, retain their cohesive
force longer and also require less rest.

And unless words have lost their
meaning and analogies have lost their
force he is indubitably right.
While Mr.. Hanna says there are no
trusts Mr.. Bryan goes into q communi-
ty in his own state where the farmers

from self interest he retorts to the corn
growers: You have already seen dis
tillery in your town closed down by the
whisky trust. What Is to prevent tle

oxford's witty Bishop,

Two stories are attributed in The
Railway Magazine to the witty bishop
Of Oxford. He was once talking to
some boys in school and said to them:
'Now, my boys. 1 dare say you think
it's very fine thing to be n bishop.
But 1 assure you I'm a very busy man.
1 have to go about all over my diocese,
and l haven't time to study like you
have. In fact, nearly all my study has
to be confined to only one book. 1t be-
gins with n 'B.' Do you know what it
is? 'The Bible. sir; the Bible" shout
ed the boys all together. NO" replied
the bishop, with merry twinkle in his
eye. ITS called Bradshaw
The other story is still better. On
one occasion when he alighted from
the train at Wheatley, the station for
Cuddesden palace, an officious porter
rushed up TO him and asked, "Any arti-
cles in the van, my Iord?" Articles"
said the bishop grimIy. Yes. 80 arti-
cles." Of hurried the porter and wor-
ried the guard almost out of his senses
by the way he searched the van and
detained the train. Presently he came
back to the bishop with a crestfallen
expression of countenance. There are
only seven, my lord" "Only seven? :?
All. you're a Dissenter then, should
think"

tOrial. has recently been discovered in

by worthy bailie of Jethart to the

The slow finger of time has worn away
most of the facing on the front of the

lieutenantS fresh from West Point. In
1874 General Starr was in command at
Fort Riley, and one day an orderly
came to his quarters with the message
that Lieutenant Morrison. just from
West Point. was at the post ready to
pay his respects and report for duty.
In response to this message the old
general was starting for his office,
when his wife, q mOtherly old soul,
plucked him by the sleeve and said,
"Now, general. promise me that you
won't be rough with that young man."
'ROugh?" said the old man. smiling
amiably upon his matrimonial COM
panion. why, I'll be peaches and
cream unless the young dog riles me-"
Reaching his office, the general was
confronted with a dapper little fellow
as spick and span as though he had
just come from the hands of his barber
and tailor, while he had the half super
ciliouS air that seems inseparable from
the first stages of military education.
Looking the young lieutenant over
for half a moment, the old general said
with great dignity: How do you do,
Mr.. Morrison. 1 am pleased to see
you" Then as a flush gradually mount
cd over his weather beaten features he
added: Il am always glad to see you
young men from the Military academy.

er above and below Harrodsburg has

Of the Hudson. Towering cliffs hun
dreGs of feet IN height impress the be-
holder. In Historical Sketches Of

the highest Of these.
Jotham StrOut was hoeing corn in the
bottom just opposite the ferry, when
his attention was attracted by rat
Ting noise above his head. Looking
UP, he was staggered at seeing man
tumbling down the fearful precipice,
now touching and grasping ut n twig.
now at n root, without being able to
check himself. Finally, with Il crash
ing of limbs, he landed in the top of a
buckeye tree about 80 feet above the
general level of the bottom.
Mr.. Strout ran to the place with all
haste, dreadiHg 10 find dead man and
not doubling he would he terribly in
jured if alive, for the distance the man
had fallen was 40 feet, and from the
last point where he had touched the
rock to the top of the tree where he
lodged was 40 feet.
Fancy Mr.. Strout's surprise, then, to
find the man standing erect at the foot
of the tree, feeling Of his arms and
body.
"Are you hurt ?" cried Mr.. StrOut.
That's what I'm trying to find out,
my friend" wGs the answer. It's my
impression that'I am alive. but rather
sore"
Not bone was broken. and despite
n few bruises the man seemed to be as
sound as before the terrible fail.
THAT fellow bore a charmed life,"
was Mr.. Strout's remark Whenever he
told the story.

THE SAME OLD GAME.
Republican Managers Revamp
Played Out scheme.

"Void if Bryan is elected"
That is the latest scheme being work
cd by the Republican managers
through the administration organs. 1t
is claimed that every contract now be-
ing made in the east contains such n
clause.
In effect il is the same old game that
was worked four years ago-the game
of scare. Then the scheme was TO
frighten labor into the belief that if the
Democratic party should be successful
there would be no more work for the
people who make their living by daily
labor.
This year the idea is to friGhten capi-
tai as well as labor. But the Republic
an managers are counting without
their host in this. Hundreds, even
thousands. of men who possess capital
and are willing to invest 1t have enlist
ed in the cause of Democracy. They
are not bit frightened, it seems.
-Four years ago the scheme worked
on the laboring people Of the east. This

FATTENED ON
HUMAN MISERY,
Glance at Hanna's Record In
His Dealings With
Labor.

1t is the fashion of partisan newspa-
pers and OF strenuous politicians OF
both parties to inveigh against Hanna
merely as the representative of a fat
frying administration and as a thor
oughly unscrupulous man.
He is more than this. Let the min
ers of Hanna's own subterranean hell
In the Pittsburg district stand forth
and testify. Even before the Ohio sen
ate had branded the word "Briber" on
his brazen forehead his coal mine
starvelings had written him down as a
soulless brute.
In the years from 1882 to 1856 Han
ma acquired many steamers and sail
ing vessels, which piled up and down
the lakes, doing his bidding in mad
race for wealth. These vessels We're
manned by labor union crews. Hanna
thought so much of these union sailors
and was so deeply concerned in their
welfare that he cut their wages from
S2.25 to 81 per day, Just one peg above
starvation point. and practically dis
rupted their organization.
Leechlike, he has thrived on strikes
and fattened on human misery. Those
who pick and blast his dollars from
coal veins hundreds of yards beneath
the sand of his carriage wheels will
give you many instances of his pecul-
lar philanthropy toward labor and Ia
hOr unions.
In 1898 Hanna sat with many coal
operators in 4 meeting which preluded
the throwing of thousands of miners
out of work. When the meeting broke
up word was sent out to keep all min
crs at work day and night. In this
way 100000 tons of coal were stored
for future market.
Then began the philanthropic scheme
of cutting and trimming and oppresS-
ing the miners in their coal hells, Of
plucking them at the bunko stores, of
docking their wages, of keeping from
them the mere pittance they worked
for and of so starving and prosecuting
them that the Caunt, grimed worms Of
the earth turned at last with Il Snarl
and struck at the heels of Hanna and
his fellows.
Coal production was stopped at once.
A coal famine set in. Its price went
up, little by little, while the miners
starved in their novels, until it was 50
q ton higher than it was before the
strike.
Then out came the 100000 tons re-
serve from Hanna and his gang, and
n net profit of $4,000 was the result.
In the meantime many miners had
died of sickness and starvation, homes
had been disrupted and families ruined
to enrich the Hanna pocket.
Come bit farther down the line on
the spoOr of this philanthropic vam-
pire. You remember how Hanna in the
campaign of 1896 promised all sorts Of
work not only to his own miners. but
to the miners of the entire United
States ''in case Mckinley was elected"
Well, the miners hearkencd unto his
voice, and Mckinley was elected. Then
what does this honest business gentle
man" proceed to do? Almost before
Mckinley had warmed the presidential
chair with his person this same Ham
pn notified his coal miners in the |
YOuEhiOEheny that he would cut |
them from 60 to % cents per ton, the |
lowest rate of wages ever paid in |
the PittsburG district. Do the min |
ers think thnt this man Will keep |

BRYAN'S WAY
OPEN AND HONEST.
1t Contrasts Strangely With
MckinIeys Policy OF
Shifty Evasion.

President Mckinley says there is no
such thing as imperialism in this
country. Mark Hanna says there are
no trusts.
Mr. Bryan has no difficulty in discov-
cring Imperialism or in putting his tin
ger on trusts.
Imperialism in its essence is the gov
ornment of others. just as democracy
is self government. Mr.. Mckinley is
today governing the Porto Ricans with
their implied consent. but without Civ
ing them any voice in their own affairs
or any share In ours. He is trying by
means Of military force to govern the
filipinOs against their consent. Mr.
Bryan says. that this is imperialism.

EMPIRE
STRAIGHT
What Triumph of Mckinley Would
Mean.
IS THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE

Establishment of Imperialism But Awaits
the Endorsement of the People at the
Polls Next Misunderstanding to Lovers of
the Republic as to the Existing Crisis Id
the History OF the Nation.
An idea is nursed by quite number
of anti-imperialistS that their fight
against empire can go on with good
prospects OF success with Mr.. McKin-
ley in the White House for a second
term. Let us vote for Mckinley, they
say, and destroy Organism forever.
Then we will destroy Imperialism.
Such men suffer themselves to he de-
luded in order to escape from Il trying
position.
The reelection of Mr.. Mckinley will
settle the fundamental issue. lie will
regard his victory as an Endorsement
of his record and his policy, his party
Will take no backward step" the Phil
ippines will be kept as an American
dependency, and even the supreme
court viii be influenced in its decisions
on constitutional questions by the
wishes of the people concerning Amer
lean territory as expressed at the
polls. To anticipate any other result
from Mr.. Mckinley's reelection is the
idlest nonsense. The triumph of the
president in this contest means the
final and irrevocable establishment OF
the American empire.
Doubtless an anti-imperialiSt Send-
mcnt will continue to exist after that
reelection, an antl-imperialist party
may even appeal to the people for sup
port. But after this contest lost such
sentiment and such n party will be in
the academic and feeble position of the
anti-imperialists of Great Britain.
1t is high time that anti-imperialistS
stopped postpOning their fight until n
more convenient and comfortable sea-
son. If they wish to prevent the estab-
lishment of an empire, they must act
at once. They must choose definitely
and for all time at this election. The
present opportunity to paralyZe imperi-
aiism in its infancy Will never return.
The conditions of the present choice
are far from gratifying, but as they
are made so must they be met.
