GLAD TO BE HOME.
J. H. Ackerman Punctures I
Gauzy Boom for Wyom-
ing Mining Towns.

UtS "suustS sOVasSs
J. q. Ackerman arrived home this
morning, from Salt Lake City.
Mr.. ~ -ermau came home via Salt
Lake from an extended tour
through the northern part Of the state
and into Wyoming to the points which
have been credited with having mining
boom.
The very first thing Mr.. Ackerman
did was to assure The Sentinel reporter
that Grand junction was good enough
fr him and that he was glad to get
back again.
He unreservedly says that such towns
as Farwell City and Columbins in Colo
RADIO and Battle Lake and Grand En-
campment in Wyoming, which have
been given the credit OF being places Of
Importance are delusions and snares.
They are shack towns, which furnish no
means of livlihood whatever to the labor
ing classes, and are only places Of con-
gregation of proepectors and others, the
principal business Of all Of them being
the saloon business.
He could see nothing whatever that
would have induced him to have invest
cd dollar either in business or in min
Jog.
He visited Hahns Peak, Steanb oat
Springs and other places in Routt couD-
ty, going into the country. Part of his
trip into that country was made by
stage, as far as Steamboat Springs and
fran there he went on horseback.
Living in hopes" is the way Mr.. Ack-
erman expresses the condition OF the
people. They expect and hope that some
one will come in and buy their claims
and make them rich.
Wyoming did not impress Mr.. Acker-
man favorably at all. He says it is
largely country Of barren prairies and
that these are sun baked and unattrac-
tive
When asked il he saw any towns Of its
size as good as Grand Junction, he en-
phatically replied that he had not aud
that they would not be found within a
radius Of thousand miles in any direc
ton.
Mr.. Ackerman has been absent on
the trip about three weeks and is much
Drowned by exposure to the sun. He
says he has enjoyed unusually good
health and enjoyed his trip. He would
not have been satisfied had he not seen
the country Of which he had heard &C
much and that he is now satisfied.

BOY PAINTED BLACK.
Student Hazed By Twelve of His Com
 rades at Chicago.

Chicago, December 14.-Frank Lust, a student in the North University Academy, was hazed last night be twelve students. He was taken from the university gymnas- ium, where he was practicing, to a seclud- ed spot on the lake shore. He was blind folded and his clothes removed. A coat of black ink and soft soap was then daubed over his entire body. After the treatment of ink and soap, the students lined up and compelled him to run the gauntlet.
 He was passed from one to another in the crowd and each one took occasion to slap him about the body After fifteen minutes of this kind of treatment he was wrapped up in blankets and taken to his home on Sheridan road. The young man was nearly overcome from exposure and from the hard treatment he had received, and fainted while being taken to his home The students, however, managed to revive him before he was taken into his room.
 All the hazing band wore handkerchiefs over the lower parts of their faces. The clothing they wore was old, but despite this fact it is thought the victim recog- nized several of his tormentors. This is the second student at the academy that has been hazed within the past week Last Friday night F. H. Sandmeyer was visited in his room by half a dozen students and treated to a coat of fly paper.

VOLUNTEERS WILL
 BE BROUGHT HOME General Macarthur is Instructed to Begin the Work-Reg-
 uIars. Are Wanted

Washington, December H.--The Secretary of War has cabled instructions to Major General Macarthur at Manila to begin the work of returning the volunteer troops from the Philippines in order to permit of their discharge in this country by the 30th of June next. This action has been taken in anticipation of the authorization by Con- gress of the enlistment of regular regiments to replace the recalled troops. Plans for the organization of the proposed new regi- ments have been perfected at the War De- partment and complete arrangements made for their speedy recruitment and equip ment. Action in this matter awaits only the approval of Congress It is hoped by the Secretary of War and the military au- thorities that the bill for reorganization of the army now in the Senate will pass be- fore Congress takes a recess for the holi- days on the Fist. The officials make no secret of their great concern over the ex- isting situation and say that the failure of Congress to take immediate action for its relief undoubtedly will result in considera- ble embarrassment to the government and seriously retard the execution of the ad- ministration's policy for the establishment of efficient and stable government in the archipelago.

 This was followed by another paper on the same subject by the Hon. c. w. Yoke, professor of law at the University of Illi- nois
 Samuel A. Carlson of Jamestown, N. Y, offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on resolutions, deploring the present tendency to "centralize the govern mental power of cities in the hands of the state authorities" and resolving that the League "emphatcally declares in favor of absolute home rule for cities in all muni- cipal affairs which do not conflict with the organic law of the state.''
 A resolution calling upon Cong 'ess to recognize the importance of the West In- dian Exposition to be held here in 1901 was adopted.
 Congress is asked to aid the undertaking and the author of the resolution pledged his support in securing recognition of it.
