VICTOR TAN SUICIDES.
q. II. Wentworth Ends Life by
Sending Bullet Through Body.

q H. Wentworth of Victor sui
cided in one of the inside rooms
on the Third floor of the Fremont
hotel by shooting himself twice
with 3S-caliber revolver. the first
shot taking effect just 10 the left
of the heart, and the second shot
under the heart, causing death in
simultaneously, The tragedy oc-
Cured at about 6:30 last evening.
He was about 30 years old, . feet
Z inches in height and of very
fair complexion
When he arrived in Florence
yesterday he wore beard but dur
ing the day he visited one of the
barber shops and had it removed.
After that he purchased a new suit
of underwear, clothing, a pair of
shoes, hat and shirt, and afterward
went to his room where he pro-
ceeded to dress. He had put on
his suit of underwear and trousers
and then evidently lay down
on the bed, where he shot himself
and died The new vest and hat
were lying on the dresser and the
coat and shoes were on the bed.
He WAS mem Der of Federal
Labor union No GA of Victor and
had the membership card and a
copy of the bylaws of the union
in his pocket. The card was dated
Jnly 10, 1901 Cash to the amount
of S6045 was also found in the
dead mans pockets.
Evidently the action was not
premeditated but it is thought that
he was disappointed in a mining
deal, as ia his pocket was letter
from j H. Robeson, police Judge
of Georgetown, Colorado, the pur-
port of which was that Wentworth
had offered him for sale some min
ing property which he had in the
Daily district The Judge refused
to buy stating as his reason that
he had invested $4,000 there and
had received no returns, but he
wanted an option for a lease on
the property The letter was un-
der date of August s, last.
When the shots were heard at
the hotel Landlord Rice tried to
open the doc but found that it
was necessary to force an entrance,
The body was taken to Deibert's
undertaking parlors at 7:45 and
was embalmed, The chief of po-
lice of Victor was at once notified.
Coroner Little arrived at IL
o'clock but held no inquest as the
cause of death did not require an

The Florence Field.

While outside excitement seems
to have abated somewhat regard
ing the Florence oil field, there is
still a strong undercurrent that the
general public is not aware of in
promoting oil enterprises for the
development of this field.
Before long it is certain that at
least three new companies will be
operating. This speaks well for
the field, as Routt, Pagosa, Boulder
and Huerfano counties seems to
have served to detract little or
nothing from the confidence of the
outside investor from here
The opening up of oil wells here
is of such common occurrence that
they create no excitement among
our people. Before next spring
the interest taken in oil Will be
greater than it was last spring
when everything was booming
Even if the field is never extended
beyond the now known oil area.
this territory is sufficiently large
10 afford twice the present pro-
duction for years to come and it
will only take the drill to increase
The production.

Public instruction.

The public schools, academies and
seminaries, are having their "com-
mencement," with all "the pomp and
circumstance" of "baccalaureate SER
mons" and other "functions" once as
ISOLATED only with the college or uni
versity.
Unquestionably the graduates have
become learned in book learning. They
have acquired q certain amount Of the
raw material of an education. They
have been armed and equipped in ru
dimentary way for fighting the battle
of life. They are the militia-of the
succulent corrstalk kind--in the army
of veterans who have supplemented the
drill of the school room with disillu-
sioning experience Sin the worlds

great many more things on the day Of
their graduation" than they will be
placing to the credit of their accom-
plishments at the end of the first dec
ade after their departure from school
crowned with the blushing honors Of
class dsy-but they will know with
greater certainty the fewer things that
then abide with them. That is one OF
the compensations OF an otherwise
discouraging condition Of affairs.
A graduate OF the public schools Of {
generation ago is something OF q
stranger in the school OF today. The

Kansas City the other day by meeting
Of the Republicans OF the Sixth Mis-

tons recite that although Congress in
providing for the new apportionment
OF Representatives directed that the
territory OF each Congress district
should be contiguous and compact, and
"hxed the minimum population for each
district at 1914, 900 PERSONS" the Demo-
cratic Legislature and Governor OF MS
souri, have so carved the Congress dis
tricts that some have more than twice
the population OF others, some have
$4,000 or 10000 less inhabitants than
the law requires, and few, ifany, dis
tricts are Compact" In 1900 the Mis-
souri, Democrats cast $4,000 votes and
the Republicans 314 900; 81 per cent to
40. Yet the Democrats are to have
fifteen Congress districts and the Re-
publicans only one.
The Sixth district has population OF
10000; the Tenth of 100000; the new
Eleventh and Twelfth districts have
not within 10000 or $4,000 of the pop
ulation required by the act OF Congress.
The Republicans are bilked out OF six
districts. They are permitted to have
one. They should have seven.

snorting ranters against Imperialism

this "expansion" has been made at the
expense Of the acquisition Of the real
knowledge that is power-powerful
and useful In the every day affairs Of
life. HE thinks he sees that tired tape, /"
in some large measure, has stihed the
natural development and free action Of
the mind; that cast-iron forms of "say-
ing" things, of describing processes
and reasoning out results, have sup
planted the natural courses of mental
action and placed the pupil in straight
jacket, conformity to whose rigid out
lines, rather than the ability to get
there in his own way, is the test Of
merit. He is harrassed by apprehen-
sion OF emitting some dead letter Of
formal procedure, and thereby suffer
ing in his school standing, rather than
by the disclosure of a real lack of
knowledge or understanding Of the mat
ter considered in recitation. The letter
of the law predominates, the spirit that
giveth life is of secondary Importance.
So it appears to the graduate of the
