PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

j. J. McCutcheon went to Bosler to-

T. Fitzmorris went to Medicine Bow
this morning.
Mrs. M. Jordon and her sister went
to Medicine Bow on No. 3.
J. F. Garlock, who has been i'll for
two weeks, is able to be out of bed.
Representative Butler is too ill to at
tend the sessions Of the legislature.
Senator Balch had a bad night and
is not feeling as well today as he was
yesterday. While his condition is not
serious he will probably be confined to
his bed several days.
D. C. Abrams will not leave for Alas
ka before next Saturday. The South
ern Pacific has made a reduced rate of
$25 from the Missouri river and in
termediate points to the Pacific coast,
and Mr.. Abrams will probably avail
himself of that rate and so by way of

of two forged checks drawn upon his
employers and cashed by H. p. Hynds
and the firm of Buechner & Son. The
police have a%scertained that Powers
left on yesterday mornings train for
Denver and have telegraphed his de-
scription to the authorities at that
place in hopes of experimenting the
young criminal.
Powers has been employed by Van
Orsdel & Burdick for several weeks,
during which time he proved himself
an efficient stenographer, and came to
be trusted by his employers. 1t is ru-
mored he lived a fast life and was ad-
dicted to gambling as the result Of
which his salary became too small to
supply his needs for cash and as a
final resort the young a forged the
name Of c. W. Burdick to two drafts,
n for $3.50 and the other for $26.6O.
The former was cashed at the tewelry
store Of Buechner & Son, but later it
was cashed again by H. P. Hynds. In

people straight from church to their

blew in clouds, and the wind blew all the

NEW YORK, April 10.-Negotiations

One of the officers of the New Jersey

Dead and Unknown.

Two yourg men, names unknown,
were struck by the Pennsylvania Rail
road main line express, knocked off
the high bridge at Coatesvlle, at $40
Monday evening, and killed.
The young men were walking
across the bridge, which is 90 feet
high, and stepped upon the south
track out of the way of freight
engine and caboose on the north
track just as the express came onto
the bridge. Seeing that escape was
impossible, they clasped hands and
turned their backs to the oncoming
train.
One was knocked off the bridge
instantly and fell headforemost upon
pile of pipes below. HIS skull was
crushed The other appeared to have
been run over by the train, as he was
completely dismembered and his body
cut nearly in two. They were thrown
20 fl ct apart.
In the inside coat pocket of one o
the unfortunates was found an open
envelope addressed, John Mourning

Get Young People Interested.

In almost any village the young
people could be enlisted in the work
of village improvement, and they could
give entertainments for the benefit OF
the society and thus realize a good
sum, since everybody would feel in
dnty bound to patronlze them.
We have not been ambitious to
make costly experiments in our village.
Instead, we have been satisfied to
make the most Of possibilities in a
practical way. We have let compe-
tent men, having good taste and good
judgment, plan the public work for US,
and we have been sensible enough not
to interfere with them or hamper them
with unwlse and uncalled-for sugges-
tions which we have insisted on having
adopted. Wherever and whenever
this is done there will be friction. We
have perfor med the work assigned us
by those whom we have chosen to
take the lead in an honest, hearty
fashion, glad to do it, because we felt
that it was of general as we'll as per-
sonal benefit. 1t has stimulated and
