In a nest Of blue balsam pines near the
Cog road. nearly half way up the peak, a
group OF Nebraska university boys
camped this summer. Everybody knew
about it; Cor whenever the cog train
went by with its load OF passengers and

From Colorado Springs to Cripple
Creek there is lately put into operation
a new railroad called 1.-The High Line"
Every one who travels over this road
agrees that there was no mistake made
when they Damed it. It's higher flyer
ADD flies higher than any other railroad
| know OF in this county. 1t starts at
Colorado Springs on the very highest
ground that it can find and pointing it's
nose toward the sky mounts right up to
the very top Of the range. winding it's
way round and round, moving slowly over
cresking trestlswork, diving through
rock blasted tunnels. circling round
dizzy precipices this way and that, max
ing loops and lap-overs and tying itself
liz double bow knot over and over again
until it lands you at Cripple Creek. the
most disappointing, desolate, treeless and
cherries place you ever cav
Cripple Creek is not in deep cash
with canon walls touring above it, but
is built on a nile square OF almost level
prairie land surrounded by an amphi-
theatre Of round, high. smooth surfaced
treeless but grass covered hills. The
whole scene in this Cripple Creek min
ing region is not one OF mt untaios but OF
very high, very round and shapely and
very smooth hills, all striped and rib
boned round and round with steam and
electric car lines, which wind and curve
and cross and recross and tunnel in and
out carrying people who swarm to see the
greatest gold mining camp in the whole
country. Here and there on the sides Of
these steep. smooth hills you see cheap
looking and shackly frame buildings
shaped somewhat like the frame grain
elevators in the grain districts OF Ne
braska. These show operated mines.
Besides these the whole country is gashed
everywhere with holes out of which has
been taken and piled up mounds Of grey
coiored dirt and rock. These are un-
worked, but perhaps valuable claims. the
hole and the pile of dirt near it being the
evidence that the claimant has performed
the necessary work to hold his claim un-
der the law. Cripple Creek is situated
on the top of the mountain range, just at
the foot of Pixies Peak on the south, and
is only 10 miles by air line from Colorado
Springs. You can look at it and endure
the sight OF it for an hour or two 10 the
day time, but you'll get the iim-iams if
you stay there over night.

Convicted of Perjury.

Annie Wcngrenik. Frank Wengrenik
and Peter Butcher We're tried on a
charge of perjury, preferred by Joseph
Migda All the parties live in Carbon-
dale. The Mgdns had a christening
at their home on sunday. March "a.
last, and in accordance with Il Polish
custom. offerings were made by the
guests for the child.
Wensrenk claimed during the chris
tening that his watch had been stolen
and he asked Migda to recover it for
him. Migda said he knew nothing
about il, whereupon Wengrcnik, in a
spirit of pique, went before Alderman
Atkinson and had Il. warrant sworn
out charging him (Migda) with selling
liquor on Sunday. The three defend.
ants testified at the hearing that the
money they gave was in payment for
the beer and other intoXiCantS which
We're served.
Aligda was discharged, and he inme-
diately had the three defendants ar
rested on the charge of perjury. They
all took the stand yesterday and swore
that they testified before the alderman
in good faith, believing that the money
that gave was in payment for the in
toXicants served. They We're adjudged
guilty by the jury and We're recom-
ucndcd to the mercy of the court.

South Side Riot.

When court adjourned. Daniel and
Patrick Finnegan We're on trial before
Judge Edwards on Il charge of assault
and battery preferred by Superintend-
cnt of Police Frank Robling. jr.
The prosecution is offering to show
hat on October % Patrolman Thomas
Jones saw James Murray throw a
stone at a street car on PittstOn ave-
nuc, and that he placed him under
arrest. 1t is claimed that Patrick Fin
negan Knocked PatrOlman Jones down
and sat on him. and that when Nor
San Sweeney placed Patrick under ar
rest, his brother Daniel took Jones'
club and revolver away and assisted
others in the crowd to drag him along
the street.
The defendants deny that they COM
mitted any assault. Patrick says that
he merely asked Jones to allow him to
take Murray home. because of the lat
ter's intoxicated condition, and Daniel
claims that the only connection he had
with the affair was to advise his
brother to go along peaceably with
Morgan Sweeney. The evidence is all
i'll, and Judge Edwards will charge the
jury when court opens this morning.

Mrs. Annie Ames, charged with UNI
lawful relations with DR.. Knapp, of
Forest City. yesterday pleaded guilty,
md court suspended sentence. Mrs.
Anes was arrested with the doctor In
hotel in this city. Both were indicted
and the doctor was convicted and sem
fenced to "a term of IMPRISONMENT in
the county Jail. After the conviction of
the doctor Mr.. Ames. who was behind
the prosecution of both, declined to
pursue the case against his wife, ana a
mol pros. was entered.
This displeased Mrs. Knapp. who
thought her husbands partner was as
much deserving of punishment rs he
was. and she had her re-arrested and
indicted for the second time. Yester-
day Mrs. hmes entered a plea of guilty,
and her attorney. Joseph O'Brien. made
an urgent plea to have sentence sus-
forgiven her and is willing to take her
back, that she has u daughter who
needs her care and that. moreover, she
is shattered in health.
Judge Edwards said 1t was the policy
of the law to keep married people to-
gether, rather than to separate them.
That was the reason the mol pros. was
case. In such cases, the Judge said,
the man is more to blame than the
woman. and if sympathy is extended 1t
ought to go out to her. He therefore
suspended sentence.

he question of reporting the bill. In the
absence Of such request no vote was
recorded.
Numerous conferences Of Democratic
members We're held prior to the meet
ing of the committee today because OF
the question which had arisen as to
united opposition to the Philippine bill
drafted by Republican members. 1t
developed that the four Louisiana
members now in the city, Representa-
tives Robertson. Meyer, Davey and
Ransdell, were favorable to the bill and
that the two Louisiana members out of
the city, Messrs. Broussard and
Breazeale probably would favor it. The
Louisiana members made no conceal
ments of the fact that the sugar indus
try of their state required the measure
of protection against Philippine sugar
which the majority bill gave by apply
ing the Dingley rates. Under these cir
cumstances the minority members
reached no united decision as to OPP
posing the bill, and although there will
be a minority report opposing the
measure on general grounds the Louis
lana members will hold themselves in
dividually free for the bill.

erly audit her accounts.

had great success in stopping them
completely. Recently | used them to
overcome the depression and weak
nesses following grip and they We're
again successful, giving me bodily
