Parson Tom Uzzelps Latest Denver

He is going to com pete with the Sunday theaters by meet ing them on their own ground. On week days he is going to try to eat in to the business of the music halls and dance halls and variety shows of the lower part of the town. His public bath and roof garden building is to be located next to his church in the "tenderloin" district, on three lots that he owns there.
 According to the plans the baths will fifty shower baths. There will be dressing rooms to accommodate the capacity of the pools and there will be portion reserved for private rooms, where those who wish to pay may do so. The two pools will be for the little tots and the larger folks, respectively, one being shallow and the other deep. A heating plant will be installed so that the baths may be kept open in the winter.
 The roof garden will be on top of the bath building and will be covered so that with sliding side windows the room will be available in all kinds of weather.
 "I am going to make it just as pleas ant as can," said the parson. There will be one portion reserved for those wanting to smoke, so that the young fellows who have acquired that habit

Blind .Lead,ls Discovered Near Moke.
 Iumne Hill

Mokelumne Hill. April 22.-An ex- ceedingly rich strike in quartz was made on French Hill, near this town. last week. The quartz is nearly all gold, one small specimen, on which there is scarcely any quartz, weigh ing over three ounces.

 French Hill was in early days one of the richest placer spots in the west, and it is believed that the feeder to it's gravel deposits has at last been found

A Fruit Trade Center

Kansas City is becoming a great in land fruit center and distributing point, or, rather. it is one already. says the Kansas City Journal. for only few days ago 100000 bananas in one con- signment were received from the trop- ics via New Orleans. Yesterday the biggest fruit train ever seen in the State of Missouri arrived in Kansas City over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway from Fort Worth, Texas. The shipment originated at Los An geles, Cal, and was made over the Southern Pacific as far as Fort Worth. Tho train was composed of twenty eight cars and a caboose. There were 364 boxes of oranges to the car, making 10,192 boxes in all. This is probably the biggest single shipment ever made from the California orange belt and every box will be handled in Kansas City. A large portion. of course, will be shipped from here to adjacent ter ritory in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ar kansas, Indian Territory and Okla homa. all of which depend on this mar ket largely for California fruits.

Mrs. Madlson's Case.

Polk City, Ia, Oct. 14th.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth p Madison.
a respected lady of this place has suf-
fered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-
ments of the bowels and liver. Rheu-
matism another painful result of de-
ranged Kidneys added its fortunes to
her burden of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of tie case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box an
improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted In
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created de-
cided sensation in the neighborhood
because OF the complications OF tho
case as we'll as its severity and appar-
ent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodds Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright's Disease
Diabetes or Dropsy and these hitherto
incurable diseases are readily cons
uuered by this remarkable remedy.

In Chelsea, in an old rectory that
stands in the shadow of mulberry
tree planted by Queen Elizabeth, there
lives fine old minister, the Rev. DR.
Blount, who was the personal friend
of the great men who have made Chel-
sea famous. He knew Carlyle well,
and told visitor recently that he and
the great but irascible sage went to see
Westminster one day. Carlyle was
impressed with the building, but the
service aroused him to shifts and
snorts of contempt and he summed uL
his feelings by saying; LAS for being
buried in it, | should demand general
Jail delivery first before I'd lay my
bones there" DR.. Blount remembers
Rossetti we'll and tells this rather
wicked anecdote of him. Poor Ros-
setti!" he says. when his wife died
he cast volume of unpublished poems
into her grave, and it was buried with
her. But later the argument of his
friends as to the loss which the world
suffered thereby induced him to have
the poems dug up again. New York

A Snake I'm n Buffalo Horn.

At Goodland the other day one OF
the Mcclure boys brought in from the
prairie a big buffalo horn that he had
found in his play. 1T looks like good

Disease in Plant Leaves.

Mile. Rodrigue, who has been study
ing the variegated leaves in number
of plants, states that the white effect,
in most cases, is owing to an absence
of chlorophyl though certain dis
solved pigments, as well as the refec-
ton of light from the cell walls, pros
duce a similar appearance. Where
chlorophyl is absent, she says, the
leaves may be regarded as being dis
eased, and that in them the tissues
have different structure than in the
normal leaves, being much thinner and
without any palisade parenchyme.

People Who Eat Coal.

Earth eating savages are known to

ness. that some persons did eat small
portions of coal. The coroner asked
with what object. A juror said that
persons suffering from severe attacks
of heartburn did so. The coroner said
that he had heard of persons eating
charcoal, but not coal. There was in
the present case, however, no doubt
about the fact. Death from misad-
venture" was the verdict.-London Ex-

8oundlap Bales Open to compe.
siticn.

While the American Cotton Com
pany is always in the market for
roundlap bales. it has no prior claim
on cotton baled by this process.
Any responsible cotton buyer can
buy roundlap bales at the gin and
handle them with profit. Roundlap
ginners follow the custom of the
neighborhood they serve, and as
nearly as possible comply with the
preferences of their patrons, buying
in the seed, ginning for the seed and
1naking cash settlement Of balances,
or ginning for custom, and paying
the highest market price for seed.
They have separate seed hoppers for
each battery of gins, SO that farmers
who want their own seed for replant-
ing can obtain it pure. Custom
bales can be stored or taken home or
sold on the spot. Held roundlap
bales are always salable at their full
market value. Farmers, or local
merchants, or bankers who desire to
hold cotton, can carry it in roundlap
bales the same as in square bales.
While it does net advise holding, the
American Cotton Company is pre-
pared to make liberal advances on
roundlap bales.
