Pete" the Cinnamon Bear.

that you might print said an old
miner to a Sun representative the
other dey.
Il vas prospecting in the CHM
arron range in 1892, making my
home with a family by the name
of Brandt, who lived in n of
the deep canons, snug up against
the range. In the family Was
a little girl whose name was Ber-
tina. Bertha and l were great
friends and, as | had no other
small friends in that part of the
country, | was always bringing
her something from my long
%jaunts in the mountains. But
one day, in early June, as | was
tramping along a mountain trail,
] saw a little brown spot lying be-
side the bath. | walked up eau
tiously and saw it was a little Gin
namon bear cub, sound asleep.
Evidently he had wandered far
from home and had lain down to
rest.
Il slipped up and got my hand
over his muZzle before he could
make a single squeal, / had a
fine time getting him home and
managing my burro, too, for "Old
Solomon, had no notion of get
ting any where near that bear
cub. i did not dare to let him
have his mouth open, or he would
have given n yell that would have
brought me very unpleasant com
pany. But l got him down to
Brandt's and gave him to Bertha.
OF course she fell in love with
him on sight and and named him
Pete After a few scratches
for Bertha "Pete" seemed to form
an affection for her as strong as
hers for him, and they were the
most intimate of friends. But
Pete would not make friends with
any one else. He reserved all of
his affection for Bertha and she
could make him do anything and
he would follow her every where
and would cry like a baby if she
got out of his sight for any length
of time.

surprising they have got the
springs, and hot ones, at that,
with fairly good accommodations
for baths. The hotel and bath
house at the springs had been de-
stroyed by fire some months ago.

Night photography.

Mrs. L. w. Devine has been ex-
perimenting with photography at
night. She has been quite sue
cessful, having taken a beautiful
picture of the large iron bridge
across the North Platte river lit
up by the electric lights. The
exposure was made from 8 o'clock
until after 8, occupying an hour
and twelve minutes. The out
lines of the bridge are very plain
and the electric lights have the
appearance of arc lamps.
W. r. Bradford also has an in
terssting experiment in the line
of n photograph which shows a
double picture. The plate was
first exposed on the porch of the
Waterloo and then turned on the
bridge. 1t shows a picture of the
little four-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Devine, which is quite
distinct and also a very excellent
picture of the bridge, with people
standing on it. This double ex-
posure was simply an experiment
but it vas a very remarkable sue
cess.

Sunday School Christmas Tree.

The Presbyterian Sunday school
is planning to give the children of
the town a Christmas tree on
Christmas night. There will be
an entertainment in connection
with the exercises, which will
consist of songs and Rotations by
the children and after it is over
the presents from the tree will be
distributed to the children. 1t is
to be hoped that those who have
the matter in charge will see to it
that none but the very best quail
ty of candy is purchased for the
children. 1t is usual in charity en-
tertainments to buy the cheapest
candy the market affords in order
to make the biggest showing with
the least money. 1t is far better
to give the children less and bet
ter candy than to give them a
quantity of cheap stuff, that only
serves to give them Indigestion.

CONTRACT LET ON THE DEWEY.

Depth at le5 Feet Begun There Yes
terday-contraotors Expect to Strike
the Vein Before January lst 1908.

AS indicated in these columns
last week a contract has been let
on the Dewey to sink the shaft
fifty feet deeper, which will make
its depth 165 feet. M. b. McKil-
lip and associates have taken the
contract, and the work is being
pushed as rapidly as possible and
they expect to cut the vein before
the first day of January 1903.
Work was begun on the contract
yesterday.
The proposition of the owners
of the mine was half cash and half
stock in the company. The con-
tractors were not inclined to nc
cept this proposition until they
went up and looked the ground
over, after which they were very
willing to accept the contract on
those terms, so well did they con-
slder the prospects of making a
shipper out of the mine.
The outcome Of this contract
will be looked for with great in

deeply interested in the success

Changing a Mans Name.

Representative Richardson O. Alabama is now engaged in solving the problem of whether Congress can chan-e the name of d private citizen without his know leoge or consent by passing pension bill. A former member of Congress from Ala bama, c. c. Sheets, is now in somewhat reduced circumstances. He was a soldier in the Union army during the civil war, and through MT. Richar6sons efforts was granted a pension by means of a pri- Vate pension bill passed by both houses and signed by the President.
 MT. Richardson has always known Sheets as "Cris." and in drawing up the bill put his name in as Christopher c. Sheets. When Sheets, however came to sign the vouchers sent him by the Com missioner of pensions on which he was to draw his pension he wrote back that his name was Charles C. Sheets, and not Christopher. The officials of the Pen sion Office were therefore confronted with the problem of having the authority to pay a pension, but having nobody to pay it to.
 MT. Sheets of course is anxious to get perfectly willing to pay it to him, but do not feel at liberty to do so, as he claims his name is not Christopher, but Charles. MT. Richardson Is now trying to get a decision to the effect that when a man is pensioned as Christopher by means of an act of Congress his name will hence- forth be Christopher, whether he wants it Christopher or not

Though the score of to o looks decidedly one-sided. 1t was a nice contest from start to finish Both sides played fast. snappy ball. but the Repub- lies were unable to hit Chenoweth, and this coupled with some wild throwing cost them the game. The Athletics won three of their runs on clean. clear hit ting. but the others were the result of bad throwing. A good-sized crowd witt messed the contest. and there was as much enthusiasm over the fast work as is manifested at the regular league games.
 Both Montgomery and Chenoweth pitched good ball. but the effective work of the latter was the feature of the game. Of the five hits made off Cheno- weth two were scratches

MEDICAL TREATMENT FREE
The British Medical Institute Offers Three Months Services Free to All lnvaiids Who Call at Its Office Before Juno 24th.

A staff of eminent physicians and surgeons from the British Medical h. sutute have, at the urgent solicitation of a large number of patients under their care in this country established a permanent branch of the Institute in this city at
 Corner 22nd St. and 3rd Ave.
 These eminent gentlemen have de- eided to give their services entirely free for three months (medicines ex- cepted) to all invalids who call upon them for treatment between now and June 24th.
 These services consist not only of consultation, examination and advice, but also of all minor surgical opera tions.
 The object in pursuing this course is to become rapidly and personally acquainted with the sick and afflicted, and under no conditions will any charge whatever be made for any serv- ices rendered for three months to ell who call before June 24th.
 The doctors treat all forms of dis ease and deformities, and guarantee to cure in every case they undertake,

INOCULATED CATTLE.
eoer sympsthizers Said to Have Start
 ed tho Disease.

New Orleans, June 21.-It has devel- pped about the boarding houses where the sailors and muleteers were re- cruited for the British during the South African war, according to a story printed here today, that the dis eases now raging in South Africa among the live stock there are due to inoculations made in this port by Boer sympathizers and disgruntled mule teers playing even with the British.
 It Is said that the virus used was secured from a Philadelphia chemist and that it consisted mostly of char bon and glanders. It is also stated now that the British suspicioned that this crime was being constantly com mitted and for that reason removed their headquarters from this city to Montreal. The inoculations, it IS stated, were also made in Lathrop, Mo, so that it was necessary to break up that camp as well.
 The British are now retaliating, so 1t is intimated, by refusing entrance of Louisiana cattle in South Africa.
