QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using any thing else for Indi-
gestion or Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostrarion or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to cleun
out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action OF
the system, and that is all they
took when feeling bad and dull
with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses OF
Green's August Flower, in liq-
uid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. For sale by w. j Dan
iels.

at nighttime when all the world is

of possible conhagrations. The
fire fiend is no respecter of person.
Yours may be the next and let us
say TO you that the only safeguard
against these calamities is insur-
ance. We write it, aud there is
no stronger aasszscyj. in the state of
Colorado. We have been through
a hundred fires. All Insurance is

A Unique Social.

Notwithstanding the inclemency
OF the weather last evening an en-
couraging number gathered at the
home of Mr.. George Killian, where
the HIS, is and KS of the Presby-
terrain Ladies Aid society planned
and carried out social full of
unique features. Large numb ers
are not always necessary to enjoy
either a good time or receipts, as
was proven on this occasion. Up
wards of seven dollars was realized
by the division. A variety of in
strumental and vocal solos were
rendered; luncheon was served in
a dainty manner, and feet were
measured for first and BOBBY prizes;
but the most novel and choicest
part of the evenings entertainment
was the rendition of classical and
popular selections on the pianola,
one of the most marvellous inven-
tions in the musical world. Mr..
Killian possesses the only instru-
ment in the state and manipulates
it with skillfull hand.

STOLE VALUABLE HORSE.
Lad with Ambitions Fostered by
Crack! Crack! Crackl Literature
Does Wholesale Thieving.

Frank M.Koterba, an 1S-year-old boy
living at Ills Fairfield avenue, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon and taken
to the central police station, charged
with having stolen Alfred Harvey's
fast bay racer Maud, and his black top
buggy, with robbing the cash register
at the Hotel Terrace, where he was
employed as bell boy and stealing
several articles of value from the hotel,
together with a large amount of the
mail FOR the guests. Il
The arrest was made in a very pc
cuhar manner. Mr.. Harvey was stand
ing at Johns drug store in Green
Ridge, when suddenly he saw the IA
mlliar form of mis- racer coming down
the street. He rushed out into the
middle of the road and called out:
whoa, Maud" The driver urged on
the horse, but the animal responded
to the we'll known voice by halting,
and Mr.. Harvey seized the bride.
In a moment he had young Koterba
by the collar and dragged him from
his seat. Patrolman Addyman, who
lives near by made his appearance
here ana mounted guard over the boy.
Police headquarters were notified and
Chief Robling and mounted officer
Bloch responded with the patrol wagon
and took the boy to the central sta
ton.
The horse and buggy We're stolen
only yesterday morning from in front
of the United States Express COM
panys office on Washington avenue.
Mr.. Harvey went into the place about
$3.50 o'clock and on coming out shortly
afterwari found his turnout missing.
He set great store by the horse, it
being a splendid racer, valued at
81 900.
Koterba when arrested had in his
possession a dress suit case containing
two revolvcrs, several articles OF
clothing and a large number of letters,
some of which were addressed to the
guests of the hotel, while others were
from the people at the hotel which
had been given him to mail. In his
pockets there was between 81 and IS.
The LAD had been employed at Hotel
Terrace since the latter part of June.
Yesterday morning he disappeared and
simultaneous with his disappearance
was noted the fact that the cash reg
listers had been broken open the mail
was missing and Night Clerk Rogers
discovered the disappearance Of his
reVolN er.
At the police station the boy acted
very sulllily, refusing to give any in
formation about himself and acting in
an exceedingly taciturn manner, 1t
is thought that he has been feasting
on diet of bad literature and that
this has aroused an ambition in him to
become bold, bad robber like Jesse
| James, ct al.

BOTHER MAY RESULT.
Another Assessment of the Cost of
the Nineteenth District Sewer
May Be Necessary.

It now appears as If there was going
to be a great deal of bother before the
Nineteenth district main sewer can be
put through. This sewer is planned
to extend through parts of the Fif-
teenth ward and Bellevue and the es-
Jimated cost of it's construction was
made by City Engineer Phillips in
1898.
His estimate at that time was 1923
per lineal foot and the viewers ap-
pointed by court made their assess
ment on this basis. Bids were adver-
tised for only a few weeks ago and
the only one received was from ]. Il.
Fleming. His bid was $2.72 per lineal
foot, or just 40 cents over the engi-
neer's estimate.
The reason advanced for this in
crease is that the price of materials
for sewer construction have advanced
considerably since 1898. The city clerk
could be directed to reject Mr.. Flem-
ing's bid and re-advertise for others,
but it is generally conceded that no
contractor is likely to put in a smaller
bid.
The difference in the cost of con-
struction of the whole sewer would
is in no shape now to meet this ex-
pense 1t is understood that City So
lictor Nosburg will send a communi-
cation to councils on Thursday night
recommending a way out of the diff
Guilty.
His plan is to have the old ordinance
repealed by councils and then have the
city engineer prepare a new estimate,
taking into consideration the present
increased price Of materials. Coun-
ellis could then provide for the appoint
ment of a new board OF viewers, who
could re-apportion the assessments
upon the property-owners, using the
new estimate as a basis.
This would, of course, necessitate the
payment of two boards of viewers by
the city, but it is believed that the old
board could be re-appointed. They
would be familiar with the assess
ments, and it would be an easy matter
for them to go over their old records,
adding on whatever might be neces-
sary and thus reducing the expense
to minimum.
