Hanging s,ide. A.nes No More.

The famous swinging bridge in
the Royal gorge will soon be but a
memory. The Rio Grande has
big force of men at work night
and day building bed OF solid
masonry under the bridge, upon
which the latter will rest, render
ing unnecessary the great steel
trisses from which the span has so
long hung suspended. 1t is dii-
ficult and expensive piece Of en-
gineering, the swift current having
been diverted from under the
bridge, the water pumped out and
the masonry laid upon the bed OF
the river. Thus is removed one
OF the great attractions for Colo
RADIO tourists. Pictures and de-
scriptions OF the swinging bridge
might be found throughout the
civilized world, and il was con-
sidered a great feat OF engineering
But the increased traffic and faster.
trains necessitated more sub
stantial structure, and the bridge
has now made way for the onwatd
march OF progress.-Canon City

rh.. Woodruff Suit.

We have received a number OF
inquiries regarding the suit lost
by T. T. Woodruff in the district
court at Trinidad, and referred to
in our last issue, as to whether the
suit in any way involves the title
to real estate in the town OF La
Junta.
We are informed by party
who is well acquainted with all the
facts in the case that it in no way
involves the title OF any real estate
sold by Mr.. Woodruff previous to
the commencement of the suit in
December, 1894. The suit simply
asks for partition and account
ing of properties held by him as
trustee of the Rice estate, owned
by him at the time OF the COM
mencement OF this suit and now
owned and held by him.
The case has been tried two or
three times previously in the dis
trict court at Trinidad, and this is
the first time. that Mr.. Woodruff
has lost. He has the fullest con-
fidence that he will win in the final
outcome. The suit it appears is
devoid of Justice or merit and is
simply a case of "hold up" on the
part Of the "poor relations" OF the
late Major Rice. A part Of the
town site OF La Junta was formerly
owned by Major Rice, and now
that the property has become
valuable after lapse Of more than
twenty years, and Mr.. Woodruff
has made = good thing out Of it,
the ''poor relations" think he
ought to be made to ''divy up"
The suit eoecerns Mr.. Woodruff
individually, and he is abundantly
able to take care Of it.

A band of three gypsy wagons passed through here this morning, bound for Waterbury. One of the drivers stated that they were bound for the south somewhere in Virginia and wanted to reach there before snow flies. From the appearance of their horses the odds are greatly against them. The band is one of number who have been rusticating along the Green mountains this summer.

afternoon. Spencer is crank on ath- letics, and he said he was going to Bos- ton to recuperate his strength. He felt he'd sort of lost his grip-lost his muscle.
 .'I was bemoaning the ill luck that kept me drudging instead of accom- panying him, when the captain shout ed: All hands ashorel' l prepared to step off the gang plank when Spencer suddenly swung his right arm around me and gave me a hug which can only be compared to that of the redoubtable Samson of Bible lore. When, gasping for breath, I found myself released and asked if he had designs on my life, he said: Only a fraternal embrace, old mana fraternal embrace,' then waved me off the steamer.
 1.-Two broken ribs are the sequel of the story. I mean to mail Spencer the doctors bill and tell him he needn't worry over any immediate failure of strength, and also mean to make a house-to-house canvass among the girls he knows and advise them to wear armor plate if their intimacy with him ever ripens to point where afraterna1 embrace may be expected"

 "What do you mean by interfering in, this conversation" growled the critic. What do you know about it., anyway"

The incident here related happened the other night at Chicago boarding house. One of the boarders is an Eng lishman, who talks with much wisdom on many subjects. He is particularly strong on military matters, and one of his fayorite pastimes is to criticise se- verely the tactics of famous generals in recent campaigns. He thinks noth- ing at all of calling down. Gen. 'Joe" Wheeler or Gen. MacArthur, and not even his own Lord Kitchener escapes his nimble tongue.

PATRONAGE ON TROLLEY CARS
 DECREASING RAPIDLY.

People Riding On the Steam Cars Now
 An Accommodation Train for
 Working People-Dance for Oakyile
 People-Notes.
 People follow the fashion! That saying was good enough years ago, and it is true to this day. The 150 or more employees of the pin factory who have been returning to their homes in Wa terbury each evening by way of tue trolley have now made a sudden change and patroniZe the steam cars. The trolley cars leave here every af- ternoon at 5:30 o'clock and the pin company's time is kept so as to be five minutes later, both at beginning work in the morning and ending at night This new regulation makes it impos- sible for the employees to rush out and catch the trolley cars. They were in too much hurry to arrive at the car first and get seats and for various req sons the company substituted this idea. The railroad ticket receipts from Oak vile during the past three days have taken big boom. Everybody is riding on the train, with plenty of seats, quick time and no crowding. If any one of the two lines should be patron iZed by the laboring classes it should be the railroad, for it was this line that has made Oakyille what it is to- day. The railroad accommodations are perfectly satisfactory and the cars well heated.

JapnAsx- 4-is

Good specimens of old Japanese work form an investment which is more se- cure and more certain to be prof itable than that in any other kind of art production, according to authorities in art valuation. Fashions in pictures, in old books in prints, in European ceramics change. Moreover all these things can be perfectly initiated continually. But it is absolutely certain that the fine specimens of Japanese work will in crease enormously in value within a
 few years. Fewer and fewer of them will appear in the market, and, as has
 been said, they cannot be reproduced.

There is no anatomical reason why all birds should not drink by pro- longed immersion of the bill, suppos- ing sufficient water to be present. A great many birds, however, depend for their liquid nutriment upon the drops of rain or dew which cling to herbage or foliage, and in this case it is obvious that alternate slipping and raising of the head is the only mode of drinking available.
