Receives Shaking Up in Colorado.

James Fike, minority member of the
new railroad commission, had a tale of
woe to tell his colleagues when they as
senbled this morning for their first work
in the rooms that have been newly fitted
up for the board in the basement of the
east wing Fike was in a head-end col
lsion in Colorado, near Pueblo on Thurs
day of last week. Ffke was hurled for
ward by the shock I'd doubled up on the
arm of a. Pullman seat. The breath was
iammed out of him, and he was painfully
bruised, but escaped without any broken
bones.
F'ike says after his shaking up he was
pleased to get around for business again
this morning He could have furnished
the board with its biggest complaint,
were it not for innate modesty and the
fact that he carries no accident insur-
allce. The board looked over its corre-
spondence. many letters ard postal cards
bearing requests for maps. and then be-
gan inspection of their quarters and look
ing after furnishings.

Castle said last night that Gen. Daniel
Butterfield was better and was recover
ing the use of the lower exIremities on
the right side, Which had been attacked
by paralysis. His mind was perfectly
clear and he was resting comfortably.
DIR. Castle said there was no immediate
danger although the generals condition
was serious There was nothing, how
ever, in his condition to lead the doctor
to think there would be a fatal issue
soon. General Butter6eld, in DR.. Castles
opinion would probably recover, with
a partial loss of power on his right side.

Last summer bold effort was made
to foist ugly white hose on unwilling
childish legs. We are happy to say that
that pernicious enterprise failed singaliy
and the half socks are worn in our warm
American summer more that ever CRATE
fully this year. The socks should match
the SASH whether the latter is black
or sky blue, and indulgent and proud
parents put their small daughters in
the thinnest of silk half hose when a
party is on foot. The silk hose are ex-
pensive, of course, but then, too. they
wear well cling close to the fat little
legs, and undoubtedly are wonderfully
cool, beside being unusually rich in effect.
The little Princess of Cornwall and York
wears them, too, we hear, and just now
she is very much the glass fashion for
