Will Contest shafruth's Election

In response to a letter of inquiry of
recent date, addressed to Hon. Robert
w. Bonynge by the editor of this pap
er, the following statement has been
received This statement explains the
position which Mr.. Bonynge will take
in contesting the election OF MI
Shafroth, should the official returns
give the latter plurality of the votes
cast for congressman in this district:
Denver, Colo, Nov. II, 1902
G. NJ. Braxtan, Esq.
Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Sir: have not yet complete
list of the returns in the First congress
sional district, but as near as l can
judge upon the face of the returns
ShafroLh will have plurality of lit
tie over 1900.
In districts "H" and 'sF"' OF this city
there was counted plurality Of 400
for the democratic ticket and the re-
publicans were only given credit in the
same districts for a little over 800
votes. The mere statement of tnis
condition is sufficient to stamp the
election in those districts as absolutely
fraudulent propose to file my con-
test with congress in due course of
time, and to carry the same to the end.
] feel certain that l was elected by a
plurality of the honest voters of the
district, and believe it to be my duty
both to them and to myself to carry on
this contest. feel absolutely certain
that will be able to show that enough
fraudulent votes were cast for my op-
ponent to change the result. 1t will
take some time before that can b.: &C
complished, but whatever time it
takes must BIZ reconciled to take in
order that right may prevail. l do not
know as can add anything further.
l thank you and my friends in Jules
burg for your loyal support and for
your great interest in my campaign.
Yours very truly,
Robt. w. Bonynge.

WASHINGTON Correspondence.
Breezy Gossip ON Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

President ROose welt was never better
illustrated than il is today by the spir-
it OF activity and hustle which charac-
terizeS the numerous executive de-
partments in their efforts 70 complete
The preliminary work necessary TO
congressional legislative action. There
remain but two weeks now before the
final session Of the fifty-seventh con
gress will convene and eacl, employee
Of the government is bending every
energy To accomplish the work which
the national legislators will expect to
find completed.
By Way Of setting an excellent, and
entirely unparalleled, example to his
vast army Of subordinates, the presi-
dent has already practically completed
his message, only the finishing touch
es remaining TO be added. A cabinet
meeting has been held for its discus
sion and some insight into its contents
has been permitted the regular Wash
ington correspondents. From this in
sight it may be said that Mr.. Roose
velt will urge the negotiation of recip-
rocal treaties with countries who PROM
ise to become large consumers of Amer
lean products, both with a view to ac-
complishing the reduction of some Of
the tariff schedules and with the ob
ject of augmenting the export trade.
Tk,n ;1l,
characterized his entire administra-
tiOn will dominate his message, but
h. will urge upon congress the very
careful consideration of the trust prob
lem and will suggest the advisability
of enacting law in accordance with
Attorney General Knox's suggestions
as made at Pittsburg.
His position in regard to Cuban re-
ciprOcity has not changed in any par
ticular from that lie held a year ago,
but he has left the clause which deals
with the subject open, with a view to
learning what progress Secretary Hay
makes with the Cuban treaty during
the coming fortnight. That recipro-
cal arrangement must he effected with
Cuba which will insure to the United
States the major portion Of the Cuban
trade, Mr.. Roosevelt is convinced, and,
from the guarded statements of the
senators and representatives who are
in Washington in considerable num-
bers, his views will meet with little
opposition.
Secretary Hay has been working re-
Gently with AN expedition hitherto be-
lieved impracticable in diplomatic
matters and has virtually concluded a
treaty with Colombia providing for
the construction of the Panama canal
which he expects to sign within the
coming week. While it is impossible
for the Colombian government, under
its constitution, to part with the SOW
ereignty OF any OF its territory, and
impracticable to demand change in
that constitution, the secretary has
effected an arrangement for a lease of
one hundred years duration with the
privilege of renewal on the part Of the
United States for Il similar periU'.
This substitute the secretary has reaS-
oD to believe will meet with the ap
proval of the senate, Senator Morgan
and Senator Spooner having already
come to Washington and >igniti:d their
"i'lin"neSs to ratifv the treaty.

LIQUID AIR DEMONSTRATION.
Professor William P. Bradley of Wesleyan
University Gives An Intensely Interesting
Conversational Club

Congregational Club.
Those who stayed away from the Au-
ditorium Tuesday evening for fear they
would have to listen to a lecture on
such scientific phenomenon as liquid air
"got left. !" To use Prof. william p.
Bradley's own words he let the liquid
air do its own talking and simply acted
as an interpreter The result was an
entertainment SO wonderful that every
one in the audience was profoundly i'm
pressed yet so simple that no one could
fail to understand its fundamental prin-
ciples Prof. Bradley by way of ex-
PLANTATION said that air like water had
three states dependent upon tempera-
ture. Liquid air is simply air reduced
to 312 degrees below zero. 1t is pro-
duced by reducing the temperature of
air under compression and then allow
ing it to expand which still further
lowers the temperature. This process
is repeated until the air becomes "A Ii
quid closely resembling water except
that it has a slight blush tinge.
Prof Bradley manufactures his own
liquid air and performed his expert
ments with can of liquid which he
brought with him. He said that in
comparison with liquid air every OBJ
iect at an ordinary temperature is red
hot, even ice To prove this he placed
can of liquitied atmosphere on cake
of ice and the liquid began at once to
boil finally passing off in vapor. He
also froze quantity of mercury and
some alcohol, the latter taking the
form of small hail stones. To show the
effect of liquid air on iron he subject
ed small dipper to the intense cold
and then crushed it as if it had been
glass. An ordinary rubber ball when
subjected to liquid air for "A short time
will shiver to fragments when thrown
to the floor A small quantity of the
liquid thrown on the floor acts the
same as water poured on a red hot
stove.
When liquid air is exposed for
short time the nitrogen burns off leav-
ing mostly oxygen. To prove this Prof
Bradley dipped a small piece Of cotton
in the liquid and then placed it in
flame, the cotton going up in flame in
an instant. Wool dipped in the liquid
will also burn rapidly. as we'll rs iron,
while piece of carbon heated white
hot and then placed in the liquid will
produce a light as intense as an cleo
trio are. Prof, Bradley plunged his
hand into the liquid and sustained no
i'll effects. He explained this by say
ing that the difference in temperature
is So great that a coating of vapor sur
rounds the hand which does not come
in direct contact with the air at all
However, if the hand should be left in
the liquid for any length of time this
vapor would Toe overcome and a severe
frost bite would result, At the close
of the demonstration many Of the audi
cnce gathered on the stage and took
advantage Of the opportunity TO try
this last experiment.

Italian Meets With Foul Play.

A Bridgeport, Conn, despatch under
date of Nov. % gives the following;
THE body of Gernero Molinaro, who
stopped at Bridgeport, Conn, on his
way from West Dummerston TO Bene-
vento, Italy, to visit his family, was
found in the harbor yesterday. The
police believe that he was robbed and
then thrown overheard. There were no
signs of violence on the body, but the
police only found S27 in place of several
hundred dollars which Molinaro eXhib-
tied in Watershed saloons Thursday
night. His gold watch was missing
and the chain broken. Molinaro, who
bore outward evidences of prosperity,
went to Bridgeport Thursday. 1t is
believed that the sight of his money
led to the administration of knock out
drops by crooks The body was iden-
titled by letters from Mrs. Molinaro. :"
An inquiry at the office of the West
Dummerston quarries reveals the fact
that no such person is known to have
been employed there. There may have
been mistake in the name but that is
not probable as it was taken from let

THE MEDBpER,


What has become of the English
sparrow? is question which has been
asked frequently of late. Few people
have noted the gradual disappearance
of these feathered vagabonds from our
streets but now that they are nearly all
gone the inquiry has come into the
minds of several people simultaneously.
Only year or two ago every building
in the neighborhood of Main street was
inhabited by its tribe of sparrows.
Hundreds of the birds could be seen
daily in their never ceasing search for
food 1t was common occurrence on
an early morning to notice some bush
or shrub literally loaded with feathered
balls. Now it is only by searching that
any of the birds can be found and even
then it is but stray pair or two drow-
silly preening themselves in some shell
tered corner. To be sure the different
grain establisl ments still have their
colonies which thrive on spilled oats
and corn, but the great majority of the
birds seem to have disappeared. What
has become of the sparrow is ques-
ton which might be taken up by the
Audubon society with profit. The
Meddler, who is not an ornithologlst,
will not attempt to solve the problem
although two solutions which come to
his mind may help clear the mystery
first, the reduced price of air rifles,
and second, the unusual cleanliness of
our streets.

Canoeing Accident on the Connecticut

Clinton Dugan and Ben Williamson
figured in a canoeing accident which
gave them a thorough knowledge of the
temperature of the Connecticut river
Tuesday evening. The young men
left early in the afternoon for a hunt
ing trip up the river in Dugan's ca
noe, going as far as the Dummerston
ferry. On their return it was very
dark and Williamson was holding a
lantern while Dugan did the padding.
When "A short distance above the small
island that divides the river just above
the old Chesterfield ferry the canoe ran
afoul of two submerged logs and was
capsizcd. The water at this point IS
about five feet deep and Dugan and
Williamson managed TO grasp the ca
noe before it tioated down stream,
They dragged it to shallow water, bail
ed it out and then attempted To climb
into it again, but they were so thor
oughly chilled that they could not do
so and were obliged to drag i to shore.
When they reached the top of the
bank Dugan saw the lights in ii. IL,
Brown 5 farm house and both he and
Williamson started there Immediately.
They were so chilled that they could
hardly walk, but finally reached the
house and after getting thoroughly
warmed and dried were driven home,
10 the excitement of the capsi2al Mr.
Dugan's dog Bowser disappeared and
nothing was seen of him until Wednes-
day morning when he was discovered
on the island to which he had swum.
Although caring nothing about contin-
uing his aquatic experiences Dugan
padded to the island and rescued the
animal
