a very quiet and exclusive af-
fair, only relatives and intimate friends

Miss Piver is the daughter of Mrs. Kate

and was given away by her brother, John
C. Piver The Rev. Burr NJ Weeden of
ST. Lukes Church off1ciated.
The brides gown was of white net,

Highly organized people are dis

the taste of Postum Food Coffee is so

properly prepared (and that is easy),
that the change from the old coffee is
not noticeable.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
CHIEF EXAMINER MORAN
Board Of Works Complains to Mayor
That Secretary Gives Out Pri-
vate Information.

The Board of Public Works will file a
written complaint to-day with Mayor Phe-
Ian to the effect that Chief Examiner
Moran of the Civil Service Commission
had given out information of private
nature to the public regarding affairs per-
tinent to the administration of the two
boards Commissioner Mendell, president
Of the Board of Public Works, charges
Moran with having written at least two
articles concerning the prospective remov-
al of George w. Dutton, inspector of
street sweepings, and the alleged refusal
of Superintendent of Buildings Barnett to
employ an old man who had passed the
civil service examination.
There has been bad blood between the
two boards for several months past ow
ing to the Discrimination of the Board of
Public Works to be inundated into ac-
cepting eligibles furnished by the Civil
Service Commission. Caustic letters have
passed almost daily between President
Freud of the Civil Service Commission
and President Mendell of the Board of
Works. Moran says that the last named
board has repeatedly put obstacles in the
way of the Introduction Of the merit sys-
tenn in its department, while Mendell
claims that the commission of which Mo-
ran is secretary has been inclined to be
dictatorial in the matter of appointments.
Moran denies that he gave out any in

"BLUEBELL" TELLS
ABOUT WEATHER
Denver, January Z, 1900.

Denver, January Z, 1900.
After all the holiday fun Denver is
again settling down to common life
Such a busy, merry time as the last
Two weeks have been. Such throngs
streets, such parties and general good
times. Such dress parades, too.
Now, what a difference, The
Christmas trees have all been taken
down and the pretty holly wreaths
may no longer be seen hanging in the
windows. Denver Is just Denver
without any fancy trimmings. The
holidays are over there are most won
derful bargains in the stores and the
Legislature is in session.
So far as the weather is concerned.
and of course, that's topic in which
we are all interested it hasn't been
much to boast of so far.
There are great many nice things
to be said Of Denver. provided. you
leave out the climate. 1t isn't the
worst in the Northeastern people
might be thankful to get one as good.
but 1t isn't like Durango. Really, we
have had the greatest weather dur.
ing the past two weeks, or rather
should say samples of weather. for no
two days have been alike. It's just
as II the weather clerk was trying
to make crazy-work design out
of the days, and accordingly needed
as much variety as possible. There
can't, however. be many other kinds
of weather left. so, perhaps, we shall
soon have a few days alike. Let lis
hope SO; otherwise 1t will need more
comprehensive wardrobe than mine to
sides. / left all my summer clothes In

The following smallpox remedy
was given to the public by a cores
pondent of the Stockton (Cal) Her

II he SO desires. Last fall, following
past customs, Clerk Weaver furnished
The Democrat and The Herald with
the official list of nominations. as
usual. nothing being said az to pub
lication. The Herald published the
list In the daily. according to law, and
put in a bin accordingly. The Demo
crat did the same and also run the
list in its weekly. and for this, which
was done without an order. fled bill
for $l44 and some odd cents. The
matter. at their request. was explain
ed to the commissioners and Mr.. Brad
ley said no person could get bill
through which was not right Two
or three days later The Democrat
bill for the weekly insertion was al
lowed. The Herald is informed by
good legal authority that there is no
law permitting this action. One
thing sure, it is the first time such an
open transaction has taken place In
La Plata county or the state of Colo
RADIO. Let every county clerks Office
,e examined and they will find no sim.
liar bill or allowance. Last fall when
Mr.. Mason was on the board The Dem.
ocrat knew better than to present
such BILL knowing full we'll that it
would be turned down. Under the
same ruling, The Democrat will prob.
ably come in for similar present
every year-unless the taxpayers en-
join such work.
The above, taken in connection with
the commissioners refusal to let the
county printing by contract and
saving of probably one thousand dol
lars affected, shows conclusively the
policy of the board, and taxpayers
may look for another increase in tax
alton in 1902.
The portion of the law relating to
the publishing of certificates of nom
nations so far as they relate to the
matter in question. is found in sec
tion I of the election act of 1891, and
IS as follows:
For at least six successive days
before an election the county clerk OF
each county shall give no,
tice in not less than two nor more
tha four newspapers published in
the county a list of all nominations
certified to him under the provisions
of this act. One of such
publications. shall be made in news
paper which advocates the principles
of the political party that at the last
preceding state election cast the larg.
est number of votes, and another of
such publications shall be made in
the newspaper which advocates the
principles of the political party which
at the last preceding state election
cast the next largest number of votes
In making additional publ
cations county clerks shall keep IN
view the object of giving informa.
ton as far as possible to the largest
number of voters of all political par
tiesL and IN NO EVENT SHAL
