Colorado Midland and Rio Grande
Make Active War

AS a result of the trip of General Pas
senger Agents Hooper of the Denver &
Rio Grande and Bailey of the Colorado
Midland to Grand Junction, Glenwood
Springs and Aspen, ticket brokers will
be practically shut out from these three
towns by a license.
In Grand Junction the license for a
ticket broker will be $3.50, in GlenWood
Springs $500 and in Aspen $780, TIE
general passenger agents persuaded the
city councils in the three owns to fix
this tax, and to all intents and purposes
it will shut the scalper out of the town,
for the business is not of sufficient inn
portance to justify them in paying such
a. license
The efforts of Mr. Bailey and Major
Hooper to kill off ticket brokers from
opening in either Grand Junction, Glen
wood Springs or Aspen was brought
about by the desire to give cheap rates
to these three towns, and they were un-
willing to do this as long as there was

Parkhurst-D Davis Company Travelling
Men May Use Them.

The automobile may still become a
competitor with the horse, and that by
way of real usefulness. The Parkhurst-
Davis Mercantile company of Topeka
has given some thought to a plan by
which the auto may become a saver of
time and money. In fact the report
has gained credence that this company
has already placed an order for horse
less carriages to be used by it's repre-
sentatives in travelling from one town
to another However, sucS is not the
case A number of our men Were here
last week. said w H Davis, president
of the company ''Ihey talked over a
good many plans for the future, and
perhaps one of these was the scheme to
use automobiles instead Of hiring livery
rigs. The autos could be used by our
men in the western part Of the state
where roads are good and trains few.
They will travel at nearly the same
about twice that OF a livery team, and
that means a great saving in money
spent for livery bills and in time lost
waiting for trains. The roads are suit
able for their use about nine months in
the year. In the Indian Territory the
plan might work more successfully than
here. The climate is warmer and the
distance between railroads is som etimes
eighty and ninety miles AS soon as the
price of the carriages is placed lower
we can consider such a proposition fav-
orabiy At $3.50 we could afford to in
present an auto accommodating two
persons and using either gasoline or
electricity as motive power costs about
$780, Our men might take with them
at times specialists along other lines
and thus help to pay expenses There
are. however, several propositions to be
taken into consideration before the plan

INTERNAL TRoUBLE BREWING
Dolphin's Loss of Santa Fe Strike
Jeopardizes His Official Head.

There win possibly be a struggle be-
tween those Santa Fe operators who
went out on strike and those who did
not in reorganizing the o. R. T. The
men who walked out will endeavor to
expel those who did not Those who
did not go out and some OF those who
did will endeavor to overthrow Presi-
dent Dolphin and his administration.
Whichever side prevails it will be a
pretty fight to watch and it is evident
that complete reorganization of the
order is necessary before it win be rec
ognized by the Santa Fe.
Most Of the operators who lost their
positions through the strike, in this
vicinity, are readily being placed else
where. The Rock Island took as many
of them as it could use without discrim-
ination or objection. Among the losing
operators a few maintain that Dolphin
had no other alternative than to order
the strike, and say they would have
run had the entire order gone out
The majority view it more clearly as a
mistake all around, and itch for the
leaders downfall. Some of the strikers
have given up the order entirely.

Details of the Plan Put in Effect New
Years

Chicago Jan 2@The Chicago &
Northwestern railway on January 1, put
into effect its system for pensiOning its
old and deserving employees. The system
is in most respects identical with that
which the Pennsylvania railroad put in
effect some years ago. Any employe
who is between IS and SO years of age
and who has been thirty years in the
service of the road. and who is disa abled
in service. will receive a pension of one
per cent per month calculated upon his
monthly rate Of wages for the last ten
years of his service with the company.
Any emplOye, who has reached the
age Of 70 years, and who has been thirty
years in the employ Of the company,
will be retired upon a pension of one
per cent per month calculated upon the
monthly rate of wages paid him for the
last ten years.
To carry out the plan the Northwest
ern has established a pension board
composed Of William A. Gardner, gen
eral manager; Edward @. Gardner, chief
engineer; Richard c. Aston, general
superintendent; Robert Quayle, super
intendent of motive power and ma
chinery; W. H Sterritt, auditor Of ex-
penditures-

EXPERTS AS TO BOYS AGE.

A youth clad in the shabbiest gar

lads age and before a satisfactory es-
innate was made several attorneys, a
barber. a veterinary surgeon and a
judge had passed judgment unsuccess-

as doc" Silcote. He was before Judge

The veterinary expressed the opinion
that Silcote is more than 16, as he had

AS a. precedent for expert testimony
had been established, an attorney for
the defense asked leave to call q barber
from the crowd to express an expert
opinion of Silcote's beard. The barber
thought he must be younger than IS.
The court ruled finally that Silcote is
under legal age, and cannot be sent to

Most pile cures are simple ointmen IS

The safest remedy for any form OF
piles whether itching or protruding IS
the Pyramid Pile cure because free from
cocaine and opiates. It is in suppOsitOry

two years and found nothing that would
relieve me permanently; not even mer
curial ointment seemed 10 reach my

writes: II suffered torture from pro-
truding piles for a large part Of my life
and had long since given up any hope Of
cure, as i dared not risk an operation

about the Pyramid Pile Cure, but never
placed confidence in patent medicines,
but tried the Pyramid in sheer desper-
alton, and was delighted and surprised
to receive marked relief and benefit from
