Mr.. HigonbOthOm Likes
Idaho Springs District

to people when it is taken into CON
sideration that this district is the old
est in the state, and all these long
years has been a steady producer, that
more capital has not sought an invest
ment. Why, the district is only in
its infancy. and l will make the pre-
diction that inside of five years there
will not be a mining section in the
West that will have a ghost of a show
when it comes down to amount OF pro
duction. 1t seems that the pioneers
did all that has practically been done
They labored hard and brought forth
few payers, and now that they are
becoming old and are slowly passing
away, it remains for the younger ele-
ment to do the great work that was
started by their forefathers. The coun-
try for miles around Idaho Springs
has only been scratched over and here
and there you will find mine that
has been worked for few feet by the
tunnel method. 1 tell you that where
there is one mine paying now, there
will be one hundred in a few years.
Mr.. Higonbothom is registered at the
Club hotel, and is accompanied by his
wife and five children.

Philadelphia Man Says So, and 1t Is Ger
tain1y Tree.

William c. Waters of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, was in the city this
week and was registered at the Beebe.
Mr.. Waters is interested in mining in
this locality and was looking over va
rious properties in the district. "A
district which has a record such as
this one,' said Mr.. Waters, ''is bound
to forge to the front. L am surprised
to learn that more development work
has not been done in years gone by,
but then the people are making up
for lost time now. In the East Idaho
Springs is becoming known as the
best section in which to make invest
ments in mining property and it will
only be a matter of a short time until
its reputation will surpass that of
Cripple Creek"

Deafness CANNOT be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing win be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of 10 are caused by

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT:
DIR. W. C. SENSIBAUGHS SUIT

| Today the circuit court was occu-
pied with the trial of the case of DR..
William C.. Sensibaugh, of Port By
ron, against the Fraternal Tribunes.
This case promises to be one of the
most interesting of the term, the cir
cumstances connected with it being
of a most unusual nature.
The plaintiff claims to have been
injured for life by the use of an inno-
cent looking little dynamo turned
with a crank that was used upon him
when he was being initiated to the
order. He asks $4,000.
The plaintiff is represented by j.
b. Oakleaf and J. T. Kenworthy.
while the orders cause is upheld by
States Attorney H. A. Weld and Hon.
James Mccartney, the latter being
the supreme counselor of the society,
formerly attorney general of the
state, and now a resident of Chicago.
| Conditional upon the filing of the
bond by Fred Appelquist, Judge Gest
yesterday afternoon granted the in
! junction restraining the Union Elec-
trio Telephone & Telegraph company
from further work upon the line it
has laid in the alley in the rear of
Mr.. Appelquist's property on Third
avenue. From the statements made
by the attorneys of the company it
is presumed that an appeal will be
taker. The effect of the injunction.
if sustained. will be to force the COM
pany to follow another route from
Seventeenth street west at the point
lindicated.S The cables have not been

FUTURE OF LEAGUE|SECOND TICKET IS UP |
Will Be Discussed at Meeting of
Three-l Directors To-
morrow.
REMNANT Is TO BE AWARDED
And Rockford VIII Do Handsome
by Visiting Mag
mates.

Tomorrow the magnates of the IL
linois- Iowa-Indiana league will as
semble in Rockford for the fall ses-
sion. Each club will send from one
to three representatives, and in addi-
ton the Rockford club has invited
each newspaper in the circuit to send
a representative to the banquet, to
be given in the evening. \ jolly com
pany will assemble, and the disap-
pointments and hard luck of the sea-
son will be forgotten. and the victor
toasted in good fellowship.
Only routine business comes up at
the fall meeting. The chief item is
the formal awarding of the cham
pionship trophy, the first Rockford
has ever won. Mr.. Sexton will pre-
sent his report and the guarantee
money will be returned. The session
will begin at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and will continue through the
afternoon. If time permits the Wis
itors will be given trolley eXcur-
sion to Beloit, Wis. In the evening
they will gather around the banquet
board at the Starke hotel.
As to Next Years Circuit.
/
is not settled until the January meet
ing, nothing prevents wires being laid
at the fall session. and undoubtedly
there will be good deal of button
holing. President Sexton suggests
the circuit be kept as it is, although
he has investigated conditions in 9th
er cities which are applicants. For
two years the present eight cities
have pulled together nicely. having
few differences, and these easily adj
justed.
The Rockford Star comments: ''The
| Three-I league has one important
point to consider in relation to the
welfare of its clubs, and this is the
length of n franchise. Talk in mid
season about this club or that being
dropped is hurtful to that clubs in
terest and an injury to the men who
have put their money into it. \
franchise should be for n longer term
than one year. With no prospect of
permanency it is discouraging for a
body of men to seek to make the
plant valuable, and more than this,
il is positive detriment to the reor-
ganizatipn of team at the close of
/
and they are not quick to sign with a
club which they have heard may not
be siucfaded in the circuit. As some
times It is desirable to sign men ear
| ly in the winter the effect of short
tenure of a franchise can be seen.
To be compelled to wait until after
the January meeting before signing
men because of the fear that the club
will be dropped makes the effort at
strengthening an extremely arduouS
one. The Three-I directors will do
well to consider this at their annual
meeting"

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Robert Mitchell and Coachman
De Bussere in Serious
Runaway.
FORMER Is RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS
Wagon Tongue Breaks and Horses
Become Unmanage-
able.

A runaway that for a time threat
ened very serious consequences took
place ON Nineteenth street just be-
fore O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
BY rare good fortune, however, the
participants escaped permanent in
jury.
At the time stated Robert Mitchell,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Mitchell, ac-
companied by the coachman, Gentle
De Bussere, was riding north on
Nineteenth street in a trap behind
the team of sorrels At Second ave
nue. an Elm street car was standing
at the corner just ready to turn west
and the coachman refined the team in
between the car and the popcorn
stand on the side of the street next
Spencer square.
The horses SHE'D away from the
car and one of the animals jumped
against the tongue, breaking it in the
middle. The end attached to the rig
began to sway back and forth and
the team instantly broke into a run.
As they went faster the swaying be-
came more violent and in the middle
of the block north both occupants of
the rig were thrown out on the pave
ment. The horses continued on to
and across First avenue.
Trap Lifted In Air
When the tongue struck the rail
road tracks it caught and the trap
was thrown in the air. alighting
wrong side up. The horses tore
away and ran west along the river
bank. When they reached the pave
ment at the foot of East Seventeenth
street one of the animals slipped and
fell, tearing the harness apart. 1t
Immediately regaincd its feet and the
two ran short distance further
when they were caught. Neither was
much hurt.
The driver was only slightly Jared
by his fall and in n short time he was
able to go on and attend to the team.
Robert, however, was at first believed
to be seriously hurt. He was render
ed unconscious and was carried to
the Rock Island sanitarium. On the
way he regained consciousness and
an examination showed that his in
iuries were all of a temporary nature,
although the shaking up will confin"
him to his home several days.
