DENVER, Dec. 3.-Thomas j. Holland,
State Superintendent Of Fish Hatcheries,
was prospecting for coal in Gunnison county
the other day. He had been out all day and
in taking what he thought was n short cut
10 Game Warden James Bush's cabin he
lost his way.
II got dark and while he was stumbling
along over the rocks he fell into the sliafo
of an abandoned coal mine. His foot
caught IN a rung Of n ladder that was partly
rotten and he had n narrow escape from
plunging headlong down the shaft. By
dint Of hard effort he made his way 10 tho
top and marked the place so that he could
find it the next day.
Coal mines in Gunnison county are moo
deep. The coal crops out OF the ground
and this hole was only forty feet in depth
At the bottom OF the shaft. a vein OF extra
| good coal had been struck and there were
| tunnels running in many directions.
The next day after his fall into the Minis
Holland set out to zee what he had found.
He took a pine torch with him and a bounti@
full luncheon. IL was almost noon Deiors
he had located the mine again.
When with great difficulty he had MAIDS
his way TO the bottom he began the ex-
ploration of the mine. He had wandered
perhaps fifty yards from the shaft when
ho was scared and nearly thrown down
by some animal that jumped upon his
shoulders.
With the instinct Of a frontiersinan hs
fred several shots from his revolver be-
| fore doing anything else. When he re-
covered his self possession he found that a
large Newfoundland dog was gamboling

Earnings Of The Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad for the three months
ending in September 80, 1901, were at
the rate of 9.07 per cent on the stock
outstanding before the property WAS
taken over by the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific jointly. That is to
say, the property is earning at the rate
Of II per cent on the collateral trust
bonds issued by those SYSTEMS in Ok.
change for Burlington stock at 200. Al
these bonds bear per cent interest, the
transaction already shows slight profit
for the roads holding the stock. In
comparing the two periods the results
for the quarter ended on September 30,
1901, were not assumed as being one
fourth Of the totals for the year. As
earning and operating expenses differ
widely in the four quarters of the year
that would be manifestly unfair. The
figures for the quarter of September 80
were taken, and the percentages which
they showed in each case were ascer-
tanned. The same percentages were al
lowed for the present year, and the cal.
culation on that basis shows that the
Burlington road, iflt continues as in the
past three months, will earn in excess of
the charges on the collateral trust bonds
for the full year.

Rev. IrI r. Hicks Is Not Dead.

Notwithstanding a widely current
rumor that Rev. Irl r. Hicks was dead !,
he never was in better health, and never
did harder and more successful years
work than that just closing. He has
just completed his large and splendid
Almanac for 1902 and. with his staff Of
able helpers, has brought his journal,
Work and Works., justly forward into
international reputation. For quarter
of century Mr.. Hicks has grown in
reputation and usefulness as the people, S
astronomer and forecaster of storms and
the character of coming seasons. Never
were his weather forecasts so sought
after as now. his timely warning of a
serious drouth this year having saved
the people from loss and suffering.
Millions of bushels of wheat were har.
vested through his advice to plant crops
that would mature early. The Ameri.
can people will certainly stand by Prof.
Hicks, when it costs them 80 little and
the benefits are so great. His fine
almanac of 200 pages is only Csc, and
his splendid family journal is only one
dollar year including the almanac.

fact, almost daily at the price of q
weekly and you cannot afford to be
without it..
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrlce.a.Week World with ab-
solute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes first.
class serial stories and other features
suited to the home and freside.
The Thrice.a.Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only $l.OO per year
and this pays for l56 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and The Re-
PORTER together one year for $l.90.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is $3.50.

With an enormous surplus in the
national treasury, wrung from the peo-
pie by high, unnecessary and vicious
taxation, Senators Hanna, Burrows ct
al. are figuring on what disposition to
make oflt (and that to Gomez that will
enable them to keep up the present ex-
cessive income. True friends of the
people generally would find the solution
in reduction of taxes of all kinds. If
Messrs. Hanna ct al. prevail, the repub-
3lican party will be let down in 1904 with
the dullest and most sickening of thuds.
Tariff reform and reduction of all taxa
tion are things that all democrats will
units.on, regardless of other issues, if
the present bleeding of the people keeps
up.-Ft. Madison Democrat.

The London Chronicle declares that
the new Hay.Paunce treaty, covering an
abrogation Of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, is "a full acceptance by Great
Britain of the Monroe doctrine" This
may be concede. 1t is, however, re-
turn to the position taken by Great
Britain when the Monroe doctrine was
announced. Alone among European
powers between whom the Americans
after discovery and conquest were di-
vided, the British have managed to
hold on to magnificent parcel. Why
should they not be willing to keep the
other monarchies at arms length?

It Saved Her Life.

Gooch's Mexican Syrup has accom-.
plished cure in this neighborhood
which has astonished the people. Miss
Dsyis was given up to die by her attend
ing physician. She had lung feyer.
The doctor said she would die before
morning, and advised to discontinue
his medicine, as it Was doing her no
good. Her parents had bottle of
Gooch's Mexican Syrup and Gooch's
Quick Relief in the house. They at
oLce began to give the Syrup in doses
one hour apart, and frequently bathed
her chest with the Quick Relief. Before
morning she was better, and after using
afew bottles of each, she is almost as
well as ever. 1t was almost like raising
the dead, and has established the repu.
tation of Gooch's Mexican Syrup here
as a cough remedy; we can sell nothing
else. J. & N. SANDS,

Gooch's Mexican Syrup cures simple
cough as if by magic, and is the best

Not Known Who Challenged.

The Creston Gazette tells the follow.
ing new feature about the court Of
Judge Parrish in that city:
"In court this morning the hangers
on and most every ono else were treated
10 new feature in transacting business.
When the jury was called In the Down.
ard vs Joseph and James Draper case it
Was selected by silent peremptory chal.
lenges, a method in use in many coun.
ties in the state, but the first time ever
used here. Clerk Hicks drew from the
wheel the names Of twelve men. The
plaintiff marked of one name and an
nounced challenged for cause, without
giving the name. Then another name
was drawn and the defendant. marked
of name end so on until there were
ten names drawn, which with the origi.
nal twelve made twenty-five, the ten
whose names were marked off were ex.
cused and the remaining ones tried the
case.
"This plan is liked by the lawyers as
it saves them the embarrassme ent Of
openly challenging the jurors. In many
cases under the old style, the lawyers
would challenge man and it would
make him sore and in case that he
should be drawn on another case the
lawyer who did the challenging would
have to cross him from the list again
for fear that he would not try the cause
justly. With this new method the juror
does not know who scratches him from
the list. All juries will be selected in
this manner in the future.''
