Free Lecture Bureau.

Last night at the office OF DR.. S. M.
Bradbury q number Of citizens gathered
for the purpose of canvassing the poss-
bilitiss for a course OF I. ee lectures in
this city the coming winter.
For several years past = number Of la
dies and gentlemen have made an earn
est effort to establish free lecture
course, bnt for various reasons the mat
ter fell through, doubtless because a
sufficient number OF persons could not
be interested in the movement to guar
antee q success. But in the last year
there has been distinct desire upon
the part of quite number OF those who
are inclined, not only to receive benefits
themselves from such course, but for
the benefit of others. to secure an organ
ization which woulp give these benefits
to large number Of persons and for
that purpose the meeting was held last
night.
There was quite a represent ative as
semblage present and all manifested a
great desire to see the work for the
course begun.
DR.. Bradbury WAS made president of
the organization and Henry Nichols, Sec
retary. 1t was decided to call the organ
ization the Grand Junction Free Lecture
Bureau.
A number of names OF lecturers were
canvassed and it was decided to secure,
il possible, the following:
DR.. Baker, pres dent of the state uni
versity at Boulder, DR.. X. z. Snyder,
president of tho State Normal school at
Greeley, President Slocum of Colorado
College at Colorado Springs, and Rev.
DR.. Aylesworth, resident Of the State
Agricultural college at Fort Collins.
Among those who will be asked of To-
cal talent, will be DR.. Beard OF Fruita,
Prof. Miller. superintendent of the city
schools, Prof. Lennon OF Teller Insti-
tute, and Prof Shaw, chemist at the su-
gar factory.
The above list is subject to change. 1t
is proposed to have about two lectures,
a month during the season, to occur
about the first and the middle OF the
month.
1t will be seen from the above that a
rare treat is in store for the public and
the new organization should be given
every encouragement, as free lecture
course is what this city has needed for
several years past.

how. Our wagon will call for it
and deliver promptly.

Cronie Saved His ARTILLERY.

London, Feb. 27.-Cronje's plan ap-
pears to have been to hold all the
British possible about his camp till
certain his artillery retreat is assured
The proposed armistice would have
gained twenty-four hours for the re-
treat of the guns, while the agreement
would only have covered the fighting
force engaged at that point.
Boer sympathizers think Cronje will
hold fast until the last moment and
that then the order will be given
''every man for himself" with in
structions to rally at a point north,
where the artillery will be safe in a
new position.
It is insisted that this plan was fol
lowed about Ladysmith, the guns
being slowly and safely removed to
defend the Transvaal passes, while a
mobile force was left in the trenches to
prevent sudden attack by the British.

Indian Territory Convention.

South McAlester, I. t., Feb. ca
With 500 delegates from every post
Office in the Indian Territory in at
tendance, the first representative
convention of the Indian Territory
citizens ever held assembled at this
place to formulate resolutions
and take action to secure betterment
in Indian territory conditions in a
business sense and in the sense of
securing titles to land and town lots.
The remarkable thing about the con-
vention is the attitude of the Indians
who are in favor of speedy allotment
and settlement of tribal affairs. They
say that treaties have been made and
broken and now they desire actual
possession of what is theirs and an
equal chance with the whites and with
each other.

Cages Estimate of Macrum.

St Louis, Feb. 26.-Lyman T. Gage
secretary of the treasury, while in this
city last week said of the case of ex-
Consul Macrum and his charges against
the English government:
1.-The administration thinks of Ma
crum exactly what every reasonable
man must think-that he is an ass. 1
am convinced that his charges are alb
solutely without foundation and have
been made in spite to embarrass the ad-
ministration. So far as l have been
able to ascertain there is not a scintilla
of evidence to support his charges. 1
do not believe that the officials of the
English government violated the sec
recy of our communications to our &C
credited representative and think the
investigation to be made will show as
much. As the case now stands, Ma
crum is not troubling the administra-
ton. 1t will not give him the slightest
notice until he proves his charges"
