mARTsELL's HOT SPRINGS.
An Old PrestonIan Who has Succeeded
at South Park, Colorado.


From the Park County colorado Bulletin.
Samuel Hartsell, now one of the
largest ranchmen and cattle growers
of Colorado, came into Park county
a poor boy in 1900.
Mr.. Hartsell is now the owner of
one of the finest ranch properties in
the state and also owns the famous
Hartsell hot springs, on the Col
orado Midland road, with their
hotel and bath improvements.
He has 8, 900 acres of land decided
and, under fence and finely i'm
proved, 5000 acres of which is
under irrigating ditch. The two
branches of the Platte river traverse
the land, convergin9 near Its north
ern boundary. In addition TO its
grazing the meadows cut I, 900 tons
OF hay year, the market price for
which on board cars at Hartsell is
ABOUT SI2 per ton.
In addition TO his ownership of
decided land MIR. Hartsell has
nearly an equal amount of state and
other public land under favorable
long-term leases, and all of which
he has under fence. The fencing
is OF substantial board and timber
build, he not being an advocate of
barbed wire.
MIR. Hartsel's herds at present
comprise about 1900 head of
graded short horn cattle, with az
high grade and full blood bulls,
about seventy-6ve head of horses
and small flock of sheep kept
mainly for mutton supplies. He
employs in various capacities
score or more of men. His
ranch improvements in the way of
buildings are numerous and SUBJ
stantial, those at home comprising
dwelling house of sixteen rooms,
four large barns, sawmill, carpenter
and blacksmith shops, bunk houses
and other large buildings, all of
which are nicely constructed and
painted. These buildings at little
distance have the appearance of a
medium sized village. In addition
there are large storm sheds for
cattle a: various parts of the ranch.
The Hartsel hot springs are
becoming noted far and vide for
their cures Of rheumatism and
other blood and skin diseases. OF
the hundreds of cases of rheuma
tism treated al the baths there is
said not to have been a single case
OF failure to greatly improve OF
effect entire cure. For the quarter
section of land on which these
springs are located alone Mr..
A'oihoS mas ICluSGu inc sum oil
s35, 900 spot cash. Tie springs
property is susceptible of great
Improvement with but moderate
expenditure. The construction OF
artificial lakes are almost provided
for and the situation is favorable
for great resort and town location.
This is only one of the numerous
cases where, in the West, poor
boy has gained wealth by his own
efforts and the merits of his sur
roundings. Mr.. Hartsel's property
can easily be said to be one of the
greatest of its class in Colorado or
the West. The ra lch and mead
ow lands provide a stockman's
paradise, and the hot springs
properly improved and advertised
will prove sanitarium unexcelled
in the United States.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.
How the COnyicts are Controlled in the
Pcnitentiary.


in penitentiary would be looked
upon as a difficult task by persons
not familiar with the workings of a
State prison. II would certainly be
difficult task were it not done in
a systematic way 1t is a fact that
the general makeup Of the inmates
of State prison are of the most
criminal type and among them
some desperate characters; but
again there are convicts there that
should not be in the same class or
under the same name. They have
served as peace restorers at many
times, and always conduct them
selves strictly according to the rules
of the institution.
n convict in the prison has but
little chance to 90 anything desper-
ate, as he is watched closely, if of
that nature, and is soon checked at
his game. Their only opportunity
is while at work in the shops where
they have knives and hammers to
work with. This is about the only
place that trouble has occurred at
the prison at Moundsville. At
times there have been fights there
that promised to result in a general
riot, but that has never happened.
The best class of inmates have
always preserved peace over the
bad element.
The guards make a report Of all
offences committed during the day
to the warden, who makes up a
police docket in the evening. On
the following morning the docket is
delivered to the captain of the guard
who holds police court in the south
hall. Like all other courts, the
first offense is treated lightly, but
the old offenders are severely pun
ished. The State prisoners go
through peddalling machine,
while the United States prisoners
are given a course of bucking and
gagging.
The men with bad records are
given no privileges and stand no
show to be relieved of the hard
labor.
During the past two years they
have been graded on the merits for
good behaviour. In this way they
are given change to discard the
stripes which men of the best class
dread more than any other feature
of the imprisonment. They wear
the stripes during the first six
months there and should they have
no black marks on their record the
stripes are replaced by a suit of
gray with black braid on the pants
and around the cap. This is used
for another six months if there is no
oftense committed, and at the end
OF that time the highest grade is
given. For the best class the same
style of suit is given, but a blue
braid Is placed on the trousers and
cap. The men working in the cleri-
cal department, the inmates at the
neads of the departments and the
outside TRUSTEES wear a red braid.
For small offense these men will
60 to a grade lower and a serious
offense will put them in stripes
again.
1t is said by old prison officials
that there is never a time at any
prison that there is not a scheme on
hand to make an outbreak. That
has not been accomplished and will
not be, as it is foolish idea. Add
ed to these are always men setting
plans to escape alcne some time.

One by one the stories of the
means by which fabulous wealth
was to be obtained from the Philip
pines are being swept away as
actual knowledge is gained. One
OF the most reasonable of these
stories concerned the great forests
OF fine woods on the islands that
American makers of fine furniture
would gladly Pay fortunes for.
This is the way that story, with all
Its variations was punctured by a
United States government forestry
eXpert-Capt. G.. p. Ahern-who
has just returned from the Philip
pines; ga mistaken idea prevails
in the United States that most of
the Philippine timber is of varieties
very valuable for cabinet making.
There are seven or eight varieties
which take fine finish, but apart
from those none of the native woods
arc likely to find their way TO the
United States"

Southern States - laborers who
would make ideal hands on sugar
plantations. But that is just what
these planters do not wish to do.
Many Of them have grown rich by
importing coolie labor from Japan,
a practice that had to be stopped
when Hawaii was annexed to the
United States, and it is that class
of labor they wish to get from the
Philippines, because of its cheap
ness both in wages and keep.

Promised This Year In The School
of OsteOpathy.

Franklin, KY, March Goth, 1901.
EDITOR KENTUcKIAN:--
The phenomenal success of the
Southern School of Osteopathy in
the past seems likely to be over
Swallowed by the growth of the pre-
sent year. A great measure of
success has been attained under
great difficulties. The school
opened three short years ago and
in these few months has attained
first rank among the Osteopathic
schools, in equipment, faculty, and
character of the work done.
The members of the class grad
uating February 1st enjoyed adj
vantages which are far superior to
those offered by older and larger
institutions. This fact being
known and generally recognized is
resulting in letters of inquiry and
expressions of purpose TO enter the
September class. The advantages
given our first classes gives promise
OF thegreatest privileges and oppor-
tunities to the classes of the future.
The next class will come from all
the professions and avocations.
Many who occupy the most promi-
nent places IN the professional
world'ministors, lawyers, teachers,
doctors, will be found in the ranks
of the students Of Osteopathy pre-
pairing for larger usefulness.
Many who are most successful in
the business world merchants and
travelling men will leave the compe-
tition of the business world for the
clear field of Osteopathy.
lis ~ wonder that men and
women study Osteopathy. The
greater wonder is that more
do not. Osteopathy offers the only
opening in professional life with
the guarantee of large financial
returns. The members of the Feb
ruary class will enjoy large incomes
the smallest probably running from
$1,000 to $4,000 per year. Other
states are continually recognizing
and protecting Osteopathy and the
demand for qualified practitioners
will grow for years.
New patients are coming to the
inhrmary and if your readers are

BOTH REVERSED.
Partisan Discussion In Powers
Murder Case.
Jim Howard Case Also Reversed
on Alleged Technical
Errors.

The Court of Appeals, in revers-
ing the lower courts and granting
new trials to Caleb Powers and Jim.
Howard, gives it's reasons for so
doing. The Taylor pardon in the
Powers case was held invalid upon
the grounds that Goebel having
been decided by the Legislature to
be dejure officer and this court hav-
ing decided that the Legislatures
decision was vailed, as Beckham
was also acting as Governor, he
was the only facto Governor.
The indictment is held sufficient,
several admissions of testimony are
held TO be improper, the instruction
is held to be improper, because it
did not submit to the jury the ques-
ton whether the killing was the
necessary or probable result of the
conspiracy charged. The instruc-
tion is held improper because it
permits the jury to convict upon the
testimony of an accomplice, through
corroborated only by the testimony
of other accomplices. The language
of the instructions is criticised.
Other Reasons For Reversal.
Some of the other reasons given
for reversal of the Powers case as
stated by Judge DuRelle are the
admission of the evidence of Pat
Mcdonald as seeing two men on
Saturday before Goebel was shot
run through the Capital building
and say:
"Come on, come on, boys; get
your gun: it is time to begin the
killing"
The reason why this should not
have been admitted, says the court,
is that the men were not identified
as part of the mountain army or
the conspirators.
Another reason is the giving Of
the seventh instruction. This is
