WESTERN CONGRESS-
AT CRIPPLE CREEK

Arrangements for the July meeting
of the Transmississipp Commercial
Congress in July in Cripple Greek are
now well under way. The railroad as
sociations have met, and the low rate
into the Cripple Greek district is such
that a large influx of people is anticl-
pated. This low rate covers twenty
three states and territories, and the
railroads, in advertising this rate, will
excite interest and thousands of pco-
pie will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to spend n few days of the heat
ed term in the mountains and Incl
dentally attend the Congress and in
spect the wonders of the worlds great
est gold camp.
The officers of the general executive
committee at New Orleans, Great
Bend. Kansas. and In Cripple Creek,
are actively at work perfecting details
for the congress.
These embrace the preliminary work
for the congress which, according to
report, will be the largest in the his
tory Of the organization. This work,
which has been going on for the past
ten days, is Independent of the work
of the local executive committee in
Cripple Creek.
AS is already generally known, the
Cripple Creek meeting will be the
twelfth annual session of the congress.
The congress was created twelve
years ago by the exigencies Of the sit
uation throughout the western coun-
try, and the necessity Of securing prop
er legislation from the National Con-
gress that would meet the growing
necessities of this great western EN-
pire. A port at tidewater, the re-
clamation of the undeveloped area, the
peopling of the public domain, the
regulation of rates Of transportation,
the uplifting Of the mining, agricul-
tural and stock interests, and the fos-
tering of infant enterprises were few
Of the public questions which were at
tracting public attention In this rapid
iy growing territory. The Transmits
hssippi Commercial Congress was then
called into existence, composed Of rep
resentative men from all the states

COLORADO ODD FELLOWS MEET
TO HONOR GRAND SIRE CABLE

Denver, Colo, April 3O.-Five thou
sand Odd Fellows We're in Denver yes
terday to celebrate Founders Day. The
Colorado sun smiled down in the most
benign manner on all the glitter and
pomp of the ceremonial, never allow
ing q cloud to dim the festivities from
beginning to end. The parade, which
began early in the afternoon, was wit
messed by thousands of interested spec
tators, and the music and brilliant un-
forms Of the hundreds of Odd Fellows
In line made picture that will remain
as one Of the events Of the order IA the
state.
The Fh1t Baptist Church was crowd
ed from 1oo- to gallery with brilliant
assemblage OF men in regalia and wo-
men in smart and handsome gowns.
The welcome to the grand sire by Past
Commander Cobb and the address Of
Grand Sire Gable Of Covington, Ohio,
were listened to for almost two hours
by the vast audience with closest at
tention.
The conferring of the decoration of
chivalry upon Colonel Boomer of Gree
ley was the closing function of the af-
ternoon, and a most impressive affair.
In the evening the banquet in honor Of
Grand Sire Cable was given at the
Windsor, and was one of the most bril-
liant occasions that the banqueting
hall has seen. The young people kept
the ball rolling longest, as they danced
in Elks' hall until a late hour.
The guests left this morning for a
round Of pleasure to-day in Colorado

The parade was preceded by squad
Of mounted police. Chief Marshal

ed by Marshal Stockton, each mounted
on prancing charger, rode i'll the
rear of the police squadron and Sat

the patrfarchs of the order, each gor-
geous in purple and gold and distin-
guished by the dignity of advanced
years.
Eight cantonS from Salida, Golden,
Fort Collins and other points in the
state and Cheyenne, followed. The
members were uniformed and marched
with the precision of regulars. Sig

tons, after which marched the subOr-
dinate lodges n, l, 81, 6S. 81, 96 and
IA. A second division of Siggel's band
here furnished music for the marchers
as they trod the hot asphalt under the
uncomfortably warm sun.
Then came he carriages with past

For eight crops-corn, wheat. oats,
barley. rye. buckwheat, potatoes and
hay-covered by the reports to the de-
partment of agriculture, the farmers
OF the United States received almost
5000, 10000 more in 1900 than they OBJ
tained for the same products in 1899.
Buckwheat and barley were the only
crops in the list which showed a de-
crease in value, and the advances, in
corn and hay especially. made this de-
lcit seem slight. We quote the Stats
tics mainly as matter of record. The

IT Is IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking When U.s.
ing Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to con-
sumption. and the Importance of
early and judicious treatment of ca
tarrh, whether located in the head,
throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be
too strongly emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms in
which they are administered, numer-
Gus and confusing, from sprays, in
halers, washes, ointments, and salves
to powders, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effec-
tive, but with nearly all advertised
catarrh remedies il is almost entire
~ n matter of guess work as to what
you are taking into your system, as
the proprietors, while making all
sorts of claims as to what their med
icines will do, always keep it close
secret as to what they are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because it not on
~ cures catarrh, but because catarrh
sufferers who. use these tablets know
what they are taking into their sys-
TENS. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
composed of red gum, blood root and
similar valuable and antiseptic in
gradients, and are pleasant to the
taste, and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the
throat, nasal passages and whole re-
spiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases of catarrh are little
short of remarkable, and the advan-
tage of knowing what you are put
ting into your stomach is of para
mount Importance when it is remem-
bered that the cocaine or morphine
habit has been frequently contract ted
as the result of using eatarrh RENE
dies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from. physicians,
because their antiseptic character
renders them perfectly safe for the
general public TO use and their COM
position makes them a common
sense cure for all forms of catarrhal
troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized packages.

COAL SUPPLY is SHORT
Cold Snap Not Looked for by Deal
ers Strike Also
Felt.

Rock Island, in common with other
cities, has not entirely escaped coal
famine, brought on by the unexpected
and long continued cold weather Con
ditions have been rendered more acute
of course by the strike in the mines
south of Milan, which still continues,
and which causes a difference in the sup
ply particularly when a shortage is felt.
A representative of the Coal Valley
Mining company said today to an Argus
reporter: The shortage is greater in
nut than in steam coal and there is no
danger that factories will be incon-
venienced to any great extent. We are
mining an unusually large quantity of
coal and a break in the cold snap which
now seems imminent will give us an OPP
portunity TO catch up with our orders
None of our customers have yet been al
lowed to suffer and | do not anticipate
that they will be. We have not advanc
ed prices and so far as l know none of
the dealers about the city have done So
There is no panic among large consumers
and 10 do not look for one"
Inquiry of the dealers elected about
the same information as the above. and
showed that, while the reserve supply is
about exhausted, the supply coming in
daily about balances the rate of con-
sumption
