Emergency hospital tonight, and his

removal to the hospital. His condition
this morning seemed more favorable, but
tonight 1t took a turn for the worse, and
he began to sink. He has constantly re-
iterated the hope that he would die, de-
claring he did not care to live. Today
many persons came to see the wounded
man, but the latter was particularly anx-
ious that none of his friends should talk
to the newspapers about what he told
them; he even took the precaution to tear
up their visiting cards so that their
identity might not be learned. He had
many friends in this city, who think that
his mind was unsettled at the time of the
shooting

Breeder of Assassins.

The real cause of the mania
for assassinating royal person
ages is thus given by Pietro Ga
brieta, an Italian laborer of Den
yer, in the Pueblo Courier: "a
man in Italy works hard from
sunrise till late at night for a
few cents, hardly enough to keep
body and soul together. If he is
married, his wife and children
work the same number of hours
for less pay. The peasants work
in the vineyards all day, with
the sun pouring down on their
backs. In the evening they work
in the unhealthy damp of the
wine cellars. These assassina
tions, I will tell you how they
come about. A man is poor, yet
he loves. He marries, trusting
providence to provide a means
tor him to support his wife
With the help of his wife he
manages to live on for several
years, while he sees a family oi
little children coming up around
him. The bad season comes
Both he and his woman lose
their work. They are unable te
secure positions. They have nc
food for their children. The mar
steals, and finally decides t.
throw off the yoke by suicide
He meets procession. He see
royalty riding in their luxuriou
equipages. The tiend of env,
possesses his brain. This give
place to murder, and he Stays
They capture him. He confess

and is executed. He cares not

RAILROAD TATTLE.

Passenger trade has been un-
usually brisk during the last two
weeks. The tide of travel has
set in for the west. The accom-
modatlons are not so good as
they should be for winter travel,
but Will be greatly improved as
soon as the empty "freezers"
commence to go west. Some of
the tourists we hear are kicking
at having to pay dollar for the
privilege of riding over a divi-
sion in the southwest corner of
coal car, or in a sheet iron pipe
open at two ends.
An agreeable feature Of the
present prosperous conditions
now existing is, that most of the
tourist fares are paid in U. S.
coin, instead of razors and jack
knives, as was too often the case
before the election. 'Rah for
Mckinley!
AS an evidence of the present
prosperity, induced by sound
money collections. we notice
that r. I. Nosrus, who keeps the
junk shop known as the Hour
hand store is offering special
inducements for "stingers' col

tions of old razors and guns.

was the aroma of burning wool
