The State Against Denver.

1t is stated that in the present election
it is question of the strength Of the out
side counties, where the moral element
in voting is ack nowledged, against the
slum element of Denver In other words,
the Democrats are padding the registra-
ton and resorting to prize fighting
methods in their determination to obtain
a fraudulent majority that cannot be
overcome by the outside counties.
1t is time the decent people of the state
put stop to this method of carrying the
state. Every Republican must get out
on election day and do his or her duty in
putting down such a condition of shame
and lawlessness. The women should be
especially interested in this feature of the
campaign, and it is hard to believe that
a majority of them in the state will not
assist in stamping out forever such illegal,
immoral and indecent collusion.
The Democrats admit that they will
have little hope outside of the 10000
votes they propose to count in fraudu-
lently in Arapahoe county. They make
their boasts that this will be accomplished
and with the police force and the courts
with them what hope can there be for
anything in the way of interference
The people of Idaho Springs should
take these matters into consideration.
Do they desire to have the slum element
of Denver exert a balance of power and
say to the decent people of the state who
shall be the governor? 1t is time for a
change and the people of the state are
awake to that fact. Now it is the duty
of the voter on the Republican side to
and that every friend comes out to vote.
Let it be personal canvas for the good
that will be done the state.

PECULIAR EXPERIENCE.
A Man, Donkey and Pair of Deer Horns
Get Tangled Up.

Charli ssnn, of Bro"kvale, wa in
the city last Saturday, having come over
for the purpose of delivering a set of deer
horns which he secured during the week
Charlie is d great hunter and at the same
time has had more experiences than
comes TO the average human beng. He
was astride a burro last Saturday and
across the saddle he was holding the
horns. But the story is best told as 1t
came from tn lips of the hunter. g
started from home at eight O'Clock in the
morning." said he, and had not trav
eled more than half an ho.r on this donk
when no'iced that the horns were surely
going to become exceedingly heavy ere
my Journey was completed. First They
would be up in the air and then down on
the ground. l fought the battle as best
1 could, and just as I thought was hay
ing good sailing up went those horns
trees. Of course lost control Of them
md 1t became necessary for me to circle
around that tree on the donk number
of times At last 1 was compelled TO get
off and make the climb. Just as l was
reaching out from a limb to unfasten the
blamed thing, my foot slipped and l
found myself sailing through the air
Suddenly my descent stopped and I
lound myself dangling in the air. This
vas due to the fact that my trousers had
become fastened in one of the horns. Up
IN the air was and for a time was of the
opinion that my last day on earth had
arrived far in advance of my anticipa-
tions and expectations. l could feel the
blood rushing to my head. Then the
burro started circl1ng around me. OF a
sudden he grabbed me by the coat collar
and commenced to pull. OF course, you
know the result. landed on the ground
and the horns on top of me. But l made
the journey and was satisfied TO escape
with my life"
The horns were very fine ones and in
the afternoon were shipped to Pennsy-
lvania.

Hot Sulphur Springs Citizen Goes to Dis
pose of Property.

James A Pearce, of Hot Sulphur
Springs, and a man who has host of
friends in Idaho Springs, arrived in the
city last Saturday. Mr.. Pearce was on
his way to Boston, Mass, from which
place he will sail for Europe in a short
time.
Mr.. Pearce is a promoter who is well
known throughout this section of the
country. In addition to this he is man
that it does anyone good 10 meet He is
the owner of some valuable oil land in
the vicinity of Hot Sulphur Springs and
his trip to the old country will be for the
purpose of interesting capital in this en-
terprise as well as a number of others.
He says that his home town IS going to
be the most noted resort in the entire
world and that it will only be a matter of
a few years until the assertion will be-
come a fact. "Since the Muffatt road has
completed its surveys" p" said he, "and 1t
is known fact that the line comes 10
Hot Sulphur Springs, the people living
in that vicinity and the ones interested in
realty holdings are perfectly satisfied
with their surroundings. They realize
that it will become a resort second TO
none in the country and that there will
be no trouble in securing tourists for the
reason that it will be on the direct line OF
the road. We have everything that is
needed to make it a popular place. The
town is seeing a steady growth even at
the present time, and you would be sur
prised at the Improvements that have
taken place"
Mr. Pearce was the first person who
had his name entered as subscriber to
Siftings and accordingly received the
first copy that was issued from the press.
This he has kept, and he says he Is not
the least bit sorry he subscribed.
Mr.. Pearce will be gone about four
months.

]. Sherwin

All this talk about the Republican
" barrels" and the Democratic barrels"
is for effect. So far as it is possible to
ascertain neither party has been able to
collect enough to half meet running ex-
penses of their campaigns in the state.
The Republicans are bankrupt and the
Democrats in the same position. The
politicians and grafters in both parties
will squeel on such a condition of affairs,
but it will be better for either side that
wins. As it stands now the corporations
cannot hold the whip over either party
that succeeds in capturing jobs in the
state house. The state board of equali-
zation will not do for the railroads what
the present fusion board has done and
this will mean something for the people.

The Prince and the Maid.

On a richly eaDarisoned steed he rode. And a rustic maid from the path stood by With a cOveUOus look in her rustic eye For a iaGnt on the horse that the Prince bestrOde;
 And, oh! twas the dawn of a troubIous For the lass who stood on the woodland way. For rhe prince was a ruler of lands and And his servants kneIt at their lords command
 For the weight of his heel, or to kiss his hand, And their souls to the cause of their prince were sold
 And the maiden sighed and she wished that she
 For while a lady in court might be. So it chanced that the prince with his peo- Dle came
 And courted the maid by the wooded lane
 Beside him she rode when they went again And they took her to court with a loud acclaim;
 And in state she sat on the giIded throne, Surrounded by courtiers-but all alone! For the devil in church. or fish on land, or dog on wings, or doctor ill, As to feeling at home, are distinctly nil- And the maiden had heartaehes on every hand;
 She Dlned for the kine by the waterside, And the uDshOt was she finally died. So they laid her away where the asters nod, And the prince with his people passed that way,
 And he thought of the maiden of yesteday And the love he had lost meath the blos- somed sod;
 '0dds-dobkins!" he sighed in weary tone,
 'The rustic to farming, the prince to his throne.'

SLGH OF THE TIMES.

In spite of the fact that some wise men are getting wary the signs that United States prosperity is not yet on the wane are numerous. The presence of an unusual number of buyers in New York is evidence. if not of the ax- istence of remarkable prosperity in the country, at least of strong belief in it's existence and in the probability of it's continuance for the next six months. These agents of the great business houses of the larger cities annually flock to the metropolis to secure the fall and winter stocks of their establish ments. It is too early for their appear ance in fullest numbers yet, the buying season lasting till the end of Septem- Der, but already reports show that the number of buyers is running fully forty per cent. higher this year than last. On this fact and or other information an official of the Merchants association is quoted as estimating that this seasons purchases will aggregatesnot less than a billion dollars.
 These buyers usually know their bus mess, and the fact that they are buying in the way they are indicates that they believe they can sell what they buy.

4 STORY FnR MRETfOUS B0YS.

Boys who don't care about being Pres ident, or the driver of circus wagon, or licking the teacher when they grow up, may perhaps find a noble stimulus in the story of John Dunfee, the mill lionaire contractor of Syracuse, New York. MT. Dunfee has just come into the possession of the Pike block in Syracuse, and he has been moved to tell how he came to own the block. He was once small, red-haired bootblack. One noon he sat on the steps of the Pike block eating his dinner with some other urchins. The janitor of the block, look ing out of an upper window. saw the boys and thought he would have some fun, so he threw down pail of water, which landed on their heads. The rage of young Dunfee knew no bounds. "You old devil" he shouted, "some day I'll own this block and fire you!" Tuesday MT. Dunfee carried out his desire to own the block, which is valued at $250,- 900. 'How about the janitor?' he, was asked. Well" was the reply, "he is not now employed in the block, or I would have fired him quick"
 This touching story of ambition and revenge teaches what can be done. MT. Dunfee is not able to fire the janitor. but he could do it if the janitor were where he was when he poured water on young Dunfee.

PURE CANDY.

People in New Haven can get pure candy and get it cheap, but it is rather
 surprising to read that the people of New York city are as well off in this matter as the people of New Haven. James J. Matchett, president of the Ma
 tional Confectioners' Association, tells what the candy situation is, and he cer-
 tainly ought to know. His statement
 as the executive of an organization the members of which last year manufact-
 ured $S1,000,0O0 worth of confectionery. to the effect that there are now no im-
 pure candies to be obtained in New
 York city, corroborated as it is by the
 statement of the Board of Health that of two hundred samples of sweets ob- tained from stores adjacent to schools
 there was not a single instance where
 deleterious ingredients had been used,
 is both surprising and pleasing. It is
 also cheering to know that one of the results of the constant vigilance of the larger manufacturers of confectionery against the making of deleterious
 sweets has been the formulation and
 passage of laws in thirty three States against poisonous adulteratons, and the
 employment of active agents to seek out and prosecute all violations of the protective legislation.

4 NEW ONE.

On the principle, perhaps, that poor excuse is better than none, the Lexing- ton (MissourD Intelligencer offers cu- rious explanation of lynchings in gen. eral, and especially of the double lynch ing that occurred there a few days ago. "The truth is,'' it says, "our law is Roman in spirit and our people are Saxon in blood. Our theory is that all men are equal before the law, but we are descended from race among whom the murder of villein was punished by a trifiing fine; of freeman, by heavy amercements: and of a kings thane, by instant death. George w. Johnson was every inch kings thane, and his mllrderers were crap-shooting, night-prowling chicken thieves of long standing. The time may never come when people of Saxon blood, outraged by crime in which the moral differ ence between the perpetrator and the victim is infinite. will cease to take wild vengeance and throw to the winds what at such times seem to them mere theories and auibbles."
 As these statements are preceded by declarations that the lynching is not approved by the community, and that it is slanderous to say it is, the excuse doesn't seem to excuse. The Intelli- gencer will have to try again.

THE CHAPLAIN's INVESTMENT IN


 Chaplain Sexton, who saw service in the war with Spain, during recent cali on General L. M. Oppenheimer at his home in Austin, Tex, brought up a reminiscence of the Spanish war, vouched for as authentic by General Openheimer. It occurred while the Ist and 2nd Texas Infantry regiments were camped on the banks of the St. John River at Jacksonville, Fla.
 The chaplain was walking down the river when he observed a dozen young men grouped around keg of beer and enjoying themselves in empyting it. He recognized some of his men in the crowd, and ascertaining that all were from Texas, and believing this an ex- cellent opportunity for the exercise of his ministerial functon, he addressed them upon the evils of intemperance and the sinfulness of wasting money that should be sent to their families, and finally wound up with the inquiry:
 Boys, what did you pay for that keg of beer?"
 Two and a half," responded the spokesman.
 Nov, if I give you two dollars and a half for the keg, will you throw it into the river?"
 "Yes, sure!" responded the spokes- man.
 The chaplain handed him $2.5O, saw the keg thrown into the river and passed on with the consciousness that 'he had done some good to his fellow man. About an hour afterward he re- turned by the same road and saw the same crowd engaged in drinking what apparently was the same keg of beer. In astonishment the chaplain asked: Boys, didn't I give you two dollargs and half an hour to throw that keg of beer into the river?"
 "Yes," responded the spokesman, ''but the keg we flung into the river was about empty, and we took two and 8 half you gave us and bought this one. Won't you join us?"
 The chaplain made no reply, but con- tinued his walk, ruminating upon the depravity of human nature, especially when in uniform.-Army and Navy Journal.
