James Cr,swcll Drowned Ia Dyes
Lake,

Sunday afternoon number Of per.
sons were bathing and fishing IN Dyes
Lake. B. Il. Smith and Tbos. Byrum
were in boat with jus. Criswell. They
went 100 yards from shore and after a
stay Of few minutes started to return
to the shore. When about 100 feet from
the bank his companions discovered that
Criswell Ind gotten out Of the boat and
was hanging on to the stern, playing in
the water. When next seen Criswell
was about 40 feet from tue boat and
was calling Smith and Byrum. They
returned toward him as fast as possible
seeing he was in distress. but lie sank
before they could reach him. 1t was
supposed that he took the cramps. MS he
swan only short distance. Byrum
dived from the boat where Criswell went
down but was unable to save him.
Coroner Green held an investigation
and ELECTED the above facts but did not
deem 1t necessary to hold an inquest.
The funeral service was held ut the
Baptist church. beng conducted by
Rev. II. 5. Walker. The church was
crowded full, large procession attend
ed the body to the cemetery where the
Junior Order of American Mechanics
had charge OF the burial service. Beauti.
ful music was rendered mt the church by
n quartette. consisting ot Mrs. Elser.
DIR. Goldsworthy and Messrs. Babcock
and Albert.
Rev, Walker prefaced his sermon
with the following reference to the de-
ceased:
Jas. Criswell was born about IS years
ago in Pennsylvania. Some years ago
he came to Rocky Ford where he has
resided most Of the time since. He had
his commendable characteristics, being
honest and kind hearted, In 80 far as
his life was worthy aud pleasing to God
let us admire and initiate him. He had
his faults and evil habits. In 80 far as
they were unworthy aud displeasing to
God let us shun them aud try to please
Him who created rs aud is daily calling
us to the noblest and truest living"

The eating Of 'high" game n un-

that the production of the character

but II is rather rcpulsivc to think
that the delicate favors of game il

evolved during cooking of high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
,crious poisoning symptoms, which
have been attributed to the face of
the game having been overhurried
and fatigued. Fatigue products, in
deed. have been separated from over
hunted game which when injected
into a healthy animal have produced
marked poisonous effects. There il
no doubt that fatigue products under

rise to species OF self-poisoning.

This year is Colorado's year par ex.
ccllence. Her mines are producing as
never before: her sheep and cattle are in
the best possible trim; her farm products,
vegetables and fruit are, thanks to the
failing irrigation, superb, and her
beet sugar output will give her reason
for confident belief that in this industry
she will soon rival Germany. So says
the Denver Times, and continues in this
iubilant strain: And all of Colorado's
farm prosperity is due solely aud surely
tointelligent irrigation, to conservation
of part-too small part-of the snow
waters OF the winter aud to careful en-
ployment OF whatever nature has seen
fit TO give. When there shall be COM
plete national irrigation system in
Colorado with reservoirs and measure.

daily needs, the farmers OF the state will

The Salida Record in answer to the
question: What Follows the Flag. says
Over 800 school teachers are now en-
route to Manila where they are being
sent by the government to instruct the
natives in the ways OF civilization,
Christianity aud general enlightenment.
The American school teacher follows
the stars and stripes. The mission OF
the flag is the enlightenment and the
uplifting OF mankind. The mission is
to be fulfilled, not by force Of arms but
by force OF good sense and honesty.
Sometimes the parent must whip the
boy to make him go to school, but who
can find man to-day who will not
thank that parent for making him go?
This is already very much the case in
the Philippines. The administration
has acted the part Of wise parent.
Civilization, intelligence, manhood,
womanhood, Christianity follow the
ttars and strips.

this to the lines already under contract
and construction, makes a total Of S,202
miles of track to be built.
These $500 miles are distributed
through forty-three states and terri
tories. The only parts of the country in
which railroad building is not now going
on or is not in immediate prospect are
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island Connecticut and Nevada.
The regions in which the largest mile
age is under contract or construction,
upon nearly 200 lines, are as follows:
Texas, 763 miles, on IS lines; Oklahoma
and Indian territory, 612 miles, on lines
Georgia, 600 miles, on lines: Pennsyl-
vania, 300 miles. on II lines; New Mexico,
23O miles, on lines; Illinois. 224 miles,
on lines; Arkansas 1913 miles, on
lines; Louisiana, 175 miles. on lines
Minnesota, 1865 miles, on ) lines, and
Washington, 165 miles. on 5 lines.
The average length of the 200 lines
which have reached the contract or con-
struction period is only about thirty
miles. The building of short lines con-
tinues especially noticeable in Pennsyl-
Vania, where the seventeen lines now un-
der way aggregate only 300 miles, or less
than eighteen miles each. In the eastern
and middle states. well supplied with
trunk lines, the railway building of the
future naturally will be confined to short
roads.
AS for the six New England states, It
seems as if steam railroad building had
ended, when only three little lines
aggregating thirty-eight miles are re-
ported under way. Nevertheless COM
pettive track laying has not ceased in
| those thickly settled states, for the towns
and the woods are full of electric railways

A number of important lines are now
under way in the southwest, such as the

| Island to FL PasO, the ambitious enter
prise known as the Kansas City. Mexico
| and Orient, which proposes to build more
| than 900 miles of main line from Kansas

was the case in which testimony was
offered to the effect that a cOlored man
named William Robinson attacked Shar-
