A RARE TREAT.

The Lyceum coulse of lectures has
progres sssed far enough to inspire all
who have attended with the sincere
hope that they will be made per-
manent feature of the winter season
hereafter.
Last evening Dewitt Miller gave
the third of the course in lecture
on the topic. 1.-THE Self-Sufficiency of
the Republic. 1t is vain for the
Journal to attempt a review that will
do Justice to the lecture. 1t bri stled
with fine wit and sentiment through
out and was an inspiration. rare
treat to the small audience which
heard it. The speaker was at dis
advantage. Like nearly all enter
tainers who travel over the San Juan
district in the winter months. he
suffered from severe cold and sore
throat, and at first his voice was
quite husky, though this wore away
as he proceeded. Mr.. Miller has q
wonderful magnetism of manner and
breeziness of speech and action that
makes him an exceedingly pleasant
orator to hear and see. and possesses
to a marked degree the rare faculty
of holding his audience in rapt atten-
tion from first to last. He spoke for
an hour and three quarters and there
were none who We're not sorry when
he ceased speaking.
The lecture was beyond question
the finest thing of the kind ever heard
in Telluride. and there is universal
hope by all who were there that they
may be given another opportunity to
hear this gifted man-Telluride Jour

socially it could not be called very
successful. There We're but few peo-

those who were there say that they
had a pleasant time. There were a
large number of tickets sold on the
streets by those interested in getting

IN A NEW FIELD
Senator GruweII Abandons Politics

and Becomes Inventor.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Senator Gruwell has turned in
ventor, or at least he has associated
himself with one and says he has de-
cided to give up distributing hot air.
and will now turn his attention from
politics to water. He and Alex Krai-
kow are p%erfecting a new pump for
use in irrigatlng land.
A working model of the machine is
in operation down the valley and is
said to be superior to aythng hitherto
attempted in the field of hydrostatics
as applied to irrigation. This morn
ing Mr.. Gruwell was exhibiting photo
graphs of the pump as it is at work.
Arrangements have been about COM
pleted for taking out patents on the
appliance and after these have been
secured manufacture of the pumps
will probably follow.
If the machine accomplishes all that
is claimed for it by those who have
seen it in operation it will not only
make the patentees wealthy, but also
proove a boon to many people resid-
ing in the arid regions. It is simple
ity itself and easy of construction,
hence can be placed on the market
at a very reasonable price.

ON THE
Rumor That Mayor George Is Train.
ing for Next Spring.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
While the publication is not au-
thorized by that gentleman, it is Civ
en- out by some of his most intimate
political associates, that Mayor
George will stand for reelection next
spring. Whether the mayor will
stand on a platform formulated by the
democracy or will run in a go-as-you-
please race is not know at this time.
It is certain, however, that he will
have a new hobby, and it will be
municipal ownership of public util-
tiles.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil, when the new electric light plant
ordinance was under informal dis
c%ussion, Mr.. George took occasion to
say that he was in favor of public
ownership of light and power plants.
He intimated quite forcibly that he
did not see wherein the city would in
the long run be benefited by allowing
another light franchise to be granted,
but took the ground that instead the
city should gradually so shape lis af-
fairs that the people would and
operate these privileges and thereby
reap the profits that may be earned
by them.

Rumors Of Possible Arrests for ILLEGAL

Rumors Of Possible Arrests for illegal
Registering.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Quite an array of legal counsel was
present yesterday at Rosebud when
the cases of the men arrested for il.
legal registration came up before JUS.
tice McRea. F. H. Hathhorn of this
city, E. A. Carleton of Helena and J.
c. Lyndes of Forsyth appeared for
the prosecution, Judge Metz of Sheri-
dan, Wyo., w. M. Johnston of this
city and Mr.. Dierks of Forsyth repre-
sented the defendants. .
In connection with the Rosebud
county cases is a rumor that arrests
of a like nature are likely to be made
in this county. Among some circles
of the democratic party it is held that
men registered and voted in this coun-
ty, who, if they had the right of
franchise should have exercised it in
Rosebud county. Whether this con-
tention is rightfully based is not
known, but the citizens of Yellow
stone hope they may be spared the
expense and humiliation their neigh
bors on the east are now undergoing.

LOST CROSSINGS.
Talk of Petition for Survey to Locate
Them.

Them.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
NThe suggestion was made today
that Mayor George be petitioned to or.
der a survey of the downtown streets
for the purpose of a~scertaining the
exact location of the stone crossings
that were put down by a former adj
minlstration, SO that signs might be
erected directing pedestrians where
to go. Since the thaw began this
morning the crossings have disap-
peared from sight and as it is not
known that they have been taken up
and carted away, the supposition is
that they are at the bottoms of the
oceans of mud that have formed at
the intersections of the streets and
through which all. must find their way
when they venture out.
1t is not to be denied that something
could be done to improve the condi-
tons existing in this respect; if moth
ing more than to employ a few men
under the supervision of the street
commissioner and clean the cross
lngs. Were this to be done it would
probably not be necessary to make
the survey and erect the monuments
suggested by some.

raised it disclosed a bath tub, which
was supplied with water from a tank
on the roof.
William McQuinton of Chicago was
the m and conductor of the out
fit and he was accompanied by his
wife II little niece. They were on
their way back home from a six
months journey to California. Going
they took the southern route and
spent sometime in Colorado, where
Mr.. McQuinton hunted big game. His
wife, also knew how to handle a rifle,
as was attested by the presence of a
mountain lion skin hat did duty as a
rug and which was taken from an
animal killed by her.
Homeward bound the party kept to
the north and travelled through the
northwestern states, passing through
Montana and going from here via
Dakota and Minnesota.
The weather of the last few days
was the subject Of their yer
ton and after several had recalled
their recollections of the historic win
ter of 1851 they branched off onto
other hard winters and punctuated
their stories with references to part
ticularly. severe storms through
which they had passed. After all had
exhausted their fund of snowstorm
stories they began to tell about cy-
clones and hurricanes. This eveidently
was the cue the colonel had been
waiting for. Yawning YEARLY, he
stretched himself and said:
You fellows know nothing about
cyclones. Why, l saw one in South
Dakota years ago that made any you
ever heard of look like a nickle with
a hole in it. 1t happened at Blunt.
The biggest part of the town was
blown away and it seemed as though
everything and everybody was ruined.
While we were standing around cuss-
ing u luck a woman came running
up screaming frantically. She said
the storm had carried off her house
and with it everything it contained,
including a stove and her baby, and
asked us to help her look for the
body of the child, for, of course, she
allowed the little one had been killed.
WELL, we hunted around some and
had about given it up as a bad job,
when we heard a whoop, as it seemed
to us a mile away, but of course, it
wasn't quite that far, although not
much shy. We hurried to where we
had heard the yell and of all the
sights l eve expect to see, the one I
saw there sure beats them. There
stood the stove with the fire burning
in it and the kid backed up against
the stove trying to warm itself and
asking for it's mother. But this was
not all. Another thing that happened
at the same time, was =" The rest
of the story was not told. The
colonel's audience had disappeared.

Mitchell Refused to Talk.
(By the Associated Press.)

ID liz
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Sept. 3.-PTesIden
Mitchell went to scranton this afternoon.
pa+ore his departure he was asked if he
had any statement to make regarding
his conference with Governor Stone carry
tbis morning. He said he had meme. The
reticence of the chief officer OF the
miners union weighs heavily on the 5usl-
moss and industrial interests of the
strike region. who were hopeful that the
,neering between the Governor and PreSl-
don't Mitchell would result in some plan
for a settlement of the strike. The
silence of Nr. Mitchell is interpreted to
mean that the Harrisburg conference was
barren of results.
There is more or less activity at all
the collieries in this region tonight, and
it IS said that some of the companies
will make desperate efforts to resume
work at many of the collieries on Mon
day. Fifty men were sent to the Conyng-
ham mine of the Delaware and Hudson
Company tonight. The company expects
to start work with a good force OF miners
on Monday. The coal operators say the
conference between Governor Stone and
President Mitchell was merely a friendly
talk. and hat neither party to the con
ference submitted a proposition. The
operators think the crisis will come next
week. and that a break in the ranks OF
the strikers is among the possibilities.
