The nsrver Carnival.

The outgoing trains from Denver
Thursday evening were crowded with
tired people, whose limit of endur-
ance in the sight seeing line had been
reached. Undoubtedly. however,
there were more last evening. who ro.
mained to the finish.
Speaking of the carnival as whole
it was certainly amusing and eXcit-
ing. Those in charge had taken care
that plenty OF entertainment should
be provided.
For those who did not attend the
grand stand, there was still the
City Park, where the. Indians were en-
camped and where most OF the mill
tary exhibitions were given. There
were also street exhibitions each af-
ternoon and evening.
The different committees deserve
commentator for the punctuality
with which the programmes were com
menced and carried out. The writer
has never attended celebration of
the kind where there was less delay.
With one exception. and that was 20
minutes only, every programme start
ed at the appointed time.
The decorations and the arrange
ments made for the public entertain
ment must have cost an enormous
amount The prizes were all liber-
al and. naturally great many were
required.
The attendance from states adjoin-
ing Colorado was also large, there be-
ing many delegations present.
One very enjoyable feature was she
good music provided. There were 20
bands in attendance, SO that for once
you could have all you wanted in the
music line. 1t didn't matter where
you were. or at what hour of the day
you would be pretty sure to come
~across a band.
1t was utterly impossible for one
person to attend everything. You
simply had to take a programme aud
select that most likely to appeal to
you. OF course, even then, some
things would prove more entertaining
than others, but in no instance did
any individual performances prove
disappointing. Each was excellent
of its kind.

OF INTEREST TO LADIES.
The Great Millinery Opening at the
Famous.

Today the Famous held their mil.
linery opening. The window in
which number of the hats were
vas beautifully draped in lavender
and white. the same colors being used
to decorate the cases in the show
rooms.
The display was very compreheh-
sive. An immense stock CT
hats of all descriptions was put on
exhibition. There was every kind
of hat from fine imported patterns
to street hats OF the plainest and
simplest.
In trimmings the leading are
plumes, breasts, chenilles, and paon
velvets. Jet is also extensively us
ed and is extremely pretty.
Mohair scratch felt hats are also
very fashionable. Walking hats OF
this kind, trimmed with white chif-
fon veil dotted with black chenille
the size of peas. and a pompon in
front. are at present all the rage in
Denver and the eastern cities.
= Cloth also enters largely into the
composition of the seasons hats.
Vi tht Hhis LUIS
description are charming.
The leading styles are the black vel
bans and the Napoleons. The lat.
ter are small hats with turndown
brim and three curves in front
En- raid green is the color of the
season. Black and white is still a
favorite. while red and the Oxford
grays will be much worn.
The Famous has a lovely line Of
chenille agora and embroidered
crowns. as well as n very large 5tocl.
of trimmings of the kinds above men
toned.
Some of the pattern hats are beau
,iful and most elaborately trimmed
while the broad turbans are too
sweet for anything"
Some of the children's hats Were
especially pretty. OF this line the
Famous is making n specially.
If You did not call today, go in and
see the hats as soon as possible. You
will enjoy looking at the display

WINE GROWERS DEMAND RELIEF.
Hope Deicasse Secured Promise OF
Reduction in Russian Duties.

PARIS. Oct. 5.--Now that a decent
interval has elapsed since the car )
departure. French wine growers are
beginning to think it proper to ask
If NJ. Delcasse secured a promise from
Russia to diminish its present disas-
trous tariff on French wines. The
French foreign Office declares that it
has nothing to make public on the
question. though it is generally believ-
ed that NJ. Delcasse brought the mat
ter to the attention of the czar. who
promised to consider the propriety of
abolishing the duties. Only prompt
action, however, can save the present
generous wine crop from going TO
vast.
The hope that the czar will do some
thing to help the wine growers illus
trates the growing tendency among
Frenchmen to expect from the Rus
sian alliance some solid results like
that which Russia has got from the
French loans. Camille Pelletan ech-
oes this feeling when he writes with
curious boldness in todays Eclair:
81 will be glad if anybody will tell
me what good we get from this ALI
ance. Russia leads us in her train
and gets our money. Other nations
even profit from our bonds, France
alone gets nothing"

SILVERTON, Colo. Oct. 3. 1901.
That the rush of the fall season III
the mines is on is in evidence from
the fact that large number of pack
trains can be seen going in every di-
rection heavily loaded with supplies.
Three large pack trains have been
added to those that were already
here. Whenever mine owner
needs the services of a pack train he
must bespeak for one a week ahead
of time.
The Bear Creek region is not les.

is proving up well. A system oi
dykes cutting the general country ior-
nation may prove to be the great
ore producers Of the region. One oi
these dykes has been cut in the cross
cut tunnel which has been under
steady headway for nearly a year.
Quite distance has the tunnel been
driven on the dyke and the average
grade has been found to be $12 to the
ton and side cuttings prove the width
Of the ore at IA feet. Since these
developments a number of dykes have

the ores necessarily demand some

LIVE STOCK MARKET
Fair Supply of Hogs fes-
terday
TOP PRICE WAS &c 60
Shiprars Are Well Pleased
tn Market.

There was a fair run Of hogs yesterday.
The range in weight and quality was
wide, and hence a wide range in prices
There were some Of the best hogs on the
market in many days, and some thin,
light hogs that were not very desirable
only at low prices. The market was
strong 10 d shade higher on good hogs
and to 10 cents lower on all others. Two
car loads Of mighty fine porkers marched
over the scales at $3.50. and while it was
conceded to be high price, all things
considered they were as well worth the
money as the hogs that sold for a good
deal less money. It was fifteen minutes
TO 10 clock when the market closed last
night. and il the hogs had kept coming
and Deck Parsons and the gas-lights had
held out. il would probably have kept
going all night Some Of the commission
men got tired and went home and the late
shippers sold their own hogs when they
arrived rather than TO hold over until to-
day The shippers were more than pleased
with the market and they had reason to
he for hogs sold higher in Wichita yes
lcrday than il Chicago. The buyers all
wanted hogs and there does not seem TO
he any let up in the demand. There is
only an occasional shipper now who
thinks he can run past this market and
make money by the experiment Experi-
euce teaches d dear school, but some
people viii not learn in any other, and
the men who try the experiment gener-
ally come back and own up that they
made a mistake. Everything on the mar
ket was sold at the close last night ex-
Uept two car loads Of pigs. which the
sellers hoped would bring more money to-
flaw
