A God. Fearing People.

The Quakers believe in the same
God as the Hebrews; the same Savior
as the christians, only their way of
worship differs. When they go to
the meeting house they bow their
heads in silent worship, making no
complaints. removing not the lat to
king or ruler, THEE and THOU to
friend and foe. They are a God-lov-
ing and God-fearing people, believing
in giving their hearts to God and
their hands to labor. That the origin
of all sin is lie; if there were no lies
there would be no sin. :heir commu-

Their Business Here

Is to establish permanent branch
Office from which to distribute the
products of their vast herbal gardens,
located in the different states in the
union, where indigenous herbs are
cultivated and brought to the highest
state of perfection in their natural
climate. This gives a better and
much more reliable medicinal mater
ial than the wild product. taken at
random in and out of season by igno-
rant people, whose only object is to
sell to wholesale buyers. In our gar
dens all trees, plants. herbs, roots and
berries are planted in separate plots,
and are picked. prepared and cured in
the proper season by experts who
have been in the labor from childhood
to ripe old age.
When the crops are gathered they
are turned over to the superintendent
of the laboratories, who are expert
chemists and botanists, who extract
the Juices from the fresh material, in
tended for fluid extracts (succulent)
as we'll as tinctures, extracts and res
inoids. All articles produced in our
laboratories are the best and purest
that can be secured on honor or for
money. The dried herbs, leaves and
powder are above the standard in
commercial sense, and are far super
ior to any others in therapeutic value.

Work was suspended in field and mine and city. The schools were dismissed. and every where appeared the trappings and tokens of woe.

 Colorado Springs. Col. Sept. 1s.--A spe- cial to The Gazette from Gienwood Springs, Col, says:
 A frightfuI gas explosion occurred ct 5:3o this evening in the coal mines of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. at Spring Gulch. probably resulting in the instant death of all the miners at the time engaged in work. estimated at 100 men. The concussion of the explosion was terrific and the entire entry was badly caved in. Three bodies were recov- cred from near the entry as soon as the explosion occurred. but they were 90 frightfuiiy nangleA as to be unreccsniz- able.
 The telephone line to Spring Gulch Is down. and messenger was dispatched to the officers of the Pocohontas mines. eight miles distant. where telephone com nection was had with Glenwood. A spe- ciai Midland train was ordered and all the doctors in Glen Springs were at once sent to the scene cf the accident.

When the train had clesfed the city the people were still there, standing at the cross roads and in the fields. 1t ran literally bteween two lines of people. Farmers from the sur ruonding country had drive nthrough the dark hours of the night to be at the side of the track where they could pay their last tribute of respect.
 At East Aurora, the first town through had been augmented by thousands from the surrounding country. The schools along the way let out and the children the President loved 90 we'll in life were there to see his dead body pass. The train slowed down at every station to allow the people lined up on either side to get view of the flag covered casket. Towns seemed suddenly grown into cities. As the train slowed up the mourners behind the cur tained windows of the train could hear the tolling bells.
