CAMP AT BOULDER

Denver, June 24.-At the Quarto- Cen
tennial celebration in Boulder the an
nual encampment Of the First regiment
of the National Guard of Colorado will
be held July 31st, August list and 2nd.
The camp will be just west of the
State University building. Fully 500
men are expected to go. Troops b and
O of cavalry and Chaffee light artillery
will also take part in the encampment.

portant and every company in the reg
iment is holding frequent practice
drills now. Any company having forty
or more members present will be allow
ed to enter the competition for the
Lawrence flag. One of the semi-yearly
drills for the Hogle trophy will take
place during the state encampment
One man from each company is allow
ed to enter for the Hogle trophy. While
these will be the two chief competitive
drills there will be other drills between
companies and men. General John
Chase will be commanding officer of
the camp.
The city of Boulder furnishes the sub
sistence for the camp and all the state
has to furnish is the transportation.
Under the military law Of the state the
National Guard is supposed to have an
encampment every two years or often
er, but the state finances have never
permitted 1t. The cavalry and several
of the companies will march from Den
yer to Boulder thirty miles. The start
will be made from Denver the evening
of July Both, so that the troops Will
have the experience of making camp
for themselves on the march. All the
preparations at Boulder will be made
by the quartermaster's department, the
officers of which with detail OF men,
will leave several days before the 9th
ers.
Several social functions are being
planned by the Boulder people for the
entertainment of their military guests.

STEAMER ERIC TO SEEK
PEARY'S POLAR PARTY

New York. June 25.-The Peary Arc

Jesup of the chamber of commerce is
president and President Henry w.
Cannon of the Chase National Bank
treasurer, has entrusted to its secre-
tary, Herbert l.. Bridgeman, the COM
mand of its expedition of 1901, the
fourth series since Mr.. Peary departed
on his attempt to attain the pole.
DIR. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn,
surgeon of the first Peary expedition in
1891, and of the Belgium Antarctic eN-
pedition, has accepted the position of
surgeon. The clubs chartered steam
er, Eric. Is now on her way from Lon

tain and crew will be shipped and
whence she will proceed to Sydney, @.
b., for coal and supplies, taking her de-
parture from that port direct for the

The Eric will take stores for one year,
to guard against any possible deten-
ton, and will. with authority from the
Royal Greenland Trading Company to

Denver, June 25.-The Capitol hill
sluggar has changed his base of Oper-
ations to the North side of the city in
Denver.
Shortly after o'clock last night
Celestine Coleman, the seventeen-ycar-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman
of 1929 Alcott street, was struck in
the head by a piece Of One-inch gas
pipe two feet in length, in the hands
of n man of whom the girl could give
but a meager description. The blud-
geon used was found in vacant rot
near the scene of the assault on West
Thirty-ninth avenue between Goss
and Forest streets by Detective O'Con-
nor. The weapon is in the hands o.
the police.
Miss Coleman was knocked senseless
by the blow and was carried into ihe
home of John w. Few at 39OS Forest
street, where she regained conscious
ness before DR.. De Peyre arrived. Her
left ear was split and the left side Of
her head badly bruised. Four stitch
es We're taken in the young woman's
ear. The attending physician says
that he does not think there was con-
fusion or a fracture and that unless
unforeseen complications arise Miss
Coleman will be all right in a few
days.
The assault was witnessed by John
W. Few and his wife. They We're
seated in their yard when Miss Cole
man passed and saw the man approach
her from the opposite direction in
which the girl was proceeding on
West Thirty-ninth avenue. They
heard dull blow and heard Miss
Coleman utter piercing shrek. An
instant later they saw n man run
through vacant lot and disappear in
the alley. Mr.. Few realizing what
had happened, cried at the top of his
voice for help, but the man had made
good his escape before men in the
neighborhood could gather.

Photography Without Dark Room.
The continued experiments Of Prof.
F. z. Nipher of St. Louis with posi-
tive photography" have produced some
very interesting results. He says that
the plates may be separately wrapped
In black paper at night, or in a dark
room, and all the remaining work can
be done in the light. A plate is taken
from its wrapper in the light and
placed in the slide holder, and an ex-
posure-a long one-is made. After ex-
posure the plate is taken out in the
light again, and placed in the develop
ing bath. and the picture is developed,
and may be fixed In the light. The re-
suit is a positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While 1t is desirable to
shield the plate from the light as much
as possible during the changes, yet.
Professor Nipher says. all of the op-
erations may be carried on without
any darkroom conveniences that may
not be secured even in the open fields.

A London newspaper describes a
school in which there can be no sug-
gestion of class distinctions among the
pupils. An English woman is the
teacher. and the fifteen scholars are all
princesses OF the royal family of Siam.
The instruction is varied. The sight of
a princess with broom or engaged in
baking indicates the practical nature
of the teaching. To wash clothes thor
oughly, lay the table properly, ar
range flowers. in short, to acquire a
good knowledge Of housekeeping, is
one branch Of accomplishment which
the royal group neither scorns nor
slignts. There are American girls, ac-
cording to common report. who would
not care to be photographed as broom
users, cooks or washers, from false
idea that useful work might detract
from their social rating. The royal
women of Siam. on the contrary, seem
to covet the best domestic gifts.

REVENUE LAW ATTACKED

Denver, June 25.-The News this
morning says:
Each member of the State Board of
Equalization, consisting of Governor
Orman, Treasurer Chipley, Auditor
Crouter and Attorney General Post,
was yesterday served with copies of
the APPLICATION for writ of mandamus
in the action of a number of railroad
companies doing business in Colorado
TO force the State Board of Equaliza-
ton to assess them instead of the
State Board of Assessors, a new board
incorporated by the last general AS
sembly.
Not a member of the board was sur
prised when they We're served with
the papers. They had been expecting
such service for several weeks past.
The only real surprise was that the
roads deferred such action until almost
the eleventh hour. And there is still
another chapter to be enacted by the
railroads which the state officials are
expecting any hour of the day or
night. 1t is an injunction against
State Auditor Crouter, restraining him

of existence which are interested in
the action brought. Such an injunc-
ton will also protect the other corpOr-

was not served upon him at the sane

HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST
BY WEST VIRGINIA FLOOD

Bluefields, W. Va, June 23.-This
entire section has just been visited by
a food, the extent of which in all prob
ability will equal or exceed that Of
JOhnstown in 1889, so far as the loss
of property is concerned.
Early yesterday morning shortly nf-
ter midnight, n heavy downpour Of
rain began, accompanied by severe
electric storm, which increased in vol
ume, continuing for several hours.
The storm continued throughout the
entire day and night, and at 10 a. Iu.,
while the storm has abated, the lower
ing clouds threaten another terrific
downpour at any moment.
Many miles OF the Norfolk & West
ern railroad track, bridges and tele-
graph lines are entirely destroyed and
communication is entirely cut off west
of Elihorn, so that it is impossible to
learn the full extent of the loss Of life
and property but officials Of the coal
operations located in the stricken dis
trict have sent out messengers to Elk
horn, the terminus of both telegraphic
and railroad communications, AMI
have received a report that n conser-
vative estimate as to the loss of life
will easily reach 200. Some of the
drowned are among the most prolni-
The Pocahontas coal field is located
in n basin, with high mountain ranges
on either side, Elkhorn creek flowing
through the center of the basin, which
ranges from one-fourth to one mile in
width.
From Tennis, West Virginia, to vi
Wan Yard, West Virginia, Il distance
of ten miles, miners cabins, coal com
pany commissaries and coke plants
line the basin. The Elkhorn creek,
being fed by numerous small streams
coming from the mountain side, rises
very rapidly. This waterspout came
SO suddenly that the entire basin be
tween the two mountain ranges was
flooded and before the terror-stricken
people realized what was upon them
they were carried down by the flood
which swept everything in its path.
The little town of keystone, with
population of about 1000, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the en,ire
town being washed away. This town
is the principal one in the Pocahonias
coal fields. and is located near its
center. 1t was to a great extent the
headquarters from which the mining
population purchased supplies, and
was also the only place in the field
where whisky could be purchased. AT
this place there We're some twelve to
fifteen saloons, all of which We're
washed away. The report comes that
the mining population are now occu-
pying the banks of the stream below,
catching the merchandise and barrels
of whisky and beer as they float down.
A great number of the coal and coke
plants throughout the POcahontas dis
trict are reported practically de-
stroyed, and are in some instances ch-
tirely washed away. Owing to the
very high water which has flooded the
region and prevented communication,
anything like n correct estimate of
the loss of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainabie
at p. m. Sunday the loss to the prop
erty will easily reach $2,OOO,OOO.

General Manager Ord is reported gole,
