Capitol 10 Poor Likeness.
Denver, June 3O.-John B. Cotton,
an old Colorado pioneer, and now a
ranchman at Eddyville, Neb., has
come to- Denver with a grievance. He
objects to the picture Of Kit Carson,
the famous scout and plainsman, that
adorns the state house dome and says
the picture must be changed. He
claims that it in no way resembles
or does Justice to the famous pioneer
and that he cannot stand to see it
there.
Il was here some time ago and saw
that picture of Kit Carson" said he
by way of explanation, " and simply
could not stand it. Now l have come
back to make my protest and to ask
that a real picture of that great man
be placed in the dome of Colorado's
capitol building"

ton as to the Anthracite Strike.
Washington, July 2.-Arbitration is
the keynote of the report which La
Dor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright
has made to President Roosevelt on
the anthracite coal strike. Colonel
Wright thinks the coal mining rail
ways and the operators should arbi-
trait their differences with the min
ers. He recommends arbitration, but
the president has no power to enforce
the recommendation. He can only
call the attention of the railway Of
ficials and operators to the sugges-
ton made by the labor commissioner
and invite them to comply Herewith
voluntarily. This will be done.
The president yesterday finished his
perusal of Colonel Wright's report
and turned it yer to Attorney Gener-
al Knox. 1t is an elaborate review
of labor conditions in the anthracite
coal fields, and the claims of both
sides are set forth in detail. Com
missioner Wright reports that it is
obvious that there is some justifica-
ton for the claims made by both
sides. and that a a S has been Great
ed which in its very nature makes it
a fit subject for arbitration.
The president has not yet decided
when he will give the report to the
public for its information. ultimate
~, OF course, it will be published. But
it NAV not be advisable to do so at
this time.

Of No. ZIG Oak street, is alive and
well and able to tell OF his unusual
experience. It is owing to the fact
that the boy did not have hold Of the
wire, but only touched it with his
body, and was thus able to fall away
from it, that he was not instantly
killed. The accident occurred at 10
o'clock yesterday morning in the alley
in the ear Of the Standard building.
According to an employee of the elec-
trio light company, a trolley pole on
one of the street cars used on the
Third street line, few of the trolley
wire yesterday morning. and broke an
electric wire which enters at the rear
of the Standard building. The end
Of the wire was wrapped around a
telegraph pole at such a distance, it
is claimed, that it could not be reach
ed. How the boy reached it is not
known, even to himself, and it is not
thought that there were any wit
nesses present.
The boy stated yesterday that all
he remembers of the affair is when
he received the severe shock. AS
quickly as possible the boy was TAX
en- to his home which is only a short
distance away, where he was attend
ed by Drs. Evans and Sigh. He was
rendered unconscious by the shock.
An examination revealed that his
tongue was severely burned, while
there are burns on his left arm and
on his hands. It is thought that the
boys hat first touched the live wire,
as there was a large hole burned in
it, which may perhaps be one rea-
son why he was not more seriously
injured. Yesterday afternoon young
Gibney had sufficiently recovered to
be able to tell as much as he knew of
the accident, and it is thought he will
feel no other bad effects as to the re-
of the shock. .

paragraph on the labor question.
However, when the platform was pre-
scented near the end of the session,
DR.. Watson of Cottonwood county

graph on Cuban reciprocity and to
insert a substitute reading, "We here
by indorse President Roosevelt's high
moral and patriotic stand taken on
the question Of reciprocity with Gu
ba."
After a brief but lively little debate,
his amendment was tabled and the

tee. was adopted. 1t indorsed the
president on the question. but less
emphatically.
