This Congress has been fruitful in pro-
ducing more scandals than any in recent
years. Early the other morning another
was added TO the list While entertain
ing a number of congressional friends at
his home a prominent lobbyist was lib
eral with wine, and a western Senator
imhibing too much became fighting mad.
He was seized with an uncomfortable de-
sire to do something, and for awhile en-
acted the part of bull in china shop,
demolishing rare bric-a-brae and doing
damage that amounts to about 5000. 1t
was necessary to summon the police TO
restore order. The drunken rowdyism
broke up the party. however, end the
host. while deploring that the evenings
entertainment had been marged by the
fighting Senator, had his indignation
soothed to degree by the friends OF
the Senator guaranteeing him against
loss through the destruction of his brio
a-brac. The influence of the Senator
was sufficient TO suppress the case with
the police and he afterwards settled for
the damage done.

After detailing the charges OF bribery

as follows: THAT there Is not the slight

cal comedy by Harry B. Smith and
presented by Frank Hennessy's com.
pany, comes to the Park opera house,
Thursday, Sept. 25th.
The story of Mr.. Smiths comedy
has it's foundation in sentimental

Fullerton, Columbia junior, and
Dorothy Grey, fellow student Sc
cretly married to Jack Everleigh al
Annapolis cadet.
There are three acts the scenes OF

engaged in clandestine midnight
supper, the kithcen of the cooking
school of THE Liberty Bellies, " and
n fashionable hotel in Florida The
first act has attracted very wide atten.
tion because of its celebrated dormi

SENATOR TELLER.

Senator Henry NJ Teller. whose
name appears at the head of the dem
ocratic ticket in this state. is receiv-
ing endorsement from not only all
parts of Colorado, but from many sec
tions of the east as we'll. Here is one
from the democratic national commit
tee dated at Buffalo, N. Y, Septem-
ber 49,:
1.-THE loyal democracy of New York
are all delighted with the action of
the Colorado democratic convention in
its Endorsement of you as the candi-
date to succeed yourself in the United
States senate. Your position was
such that it attracted more than at
tention with our people here. de-
sire to congratulate the democracy of
Colorado and yourself on the outcome
of the senatorial controversy in your
state. The democracy Of this state
look upon your election as certain. -
This Endorsement of Senator Teller
seems to disturb the Denver Times
and Republican very much and they
hasten to suggest that the democratic
party of New York does not and will
not approve of this sentiment, even
though national committee sees fit
to assume such position. 1t is highly
probable, however, that the residents
of this union will accept the evidences
of esteem in which Mr.. Teller is held
from sources other than republican CO.
horts who are so apt to maintain
prejudice in the matter. But as the
Buffalo Daily Express editorially
stated that Senator Teller was with
out quetsion one of the most honora-
BILE and able representatives in con-
gress and that he occupied position
in that body similar to that of Sena-
tor Hoar. And there has been no one
to contradict this statement. salida

The will of W. S. Startton pro-
claims in the most plain terms that
he had son. The language of that
document sets at rest any contradic-
tion that 1. Harry Stratton may not
be his son. The son is left the same
bequest as all other heirs, $50, 600 and
it is now said the son will contest the
terms of the will If he does there is
every reason to believe that he will
successfully break the will. Whoever
were the advisers of the deceased mil
advised, if they did, the cutting off
of blood descendent, so acknowl-
edged by the Stratton will, with any
such measley sum as $50. 900, in view
of the fathers wealth. AS they might
have known they were only inviting
contest. Even if there was a cloud
upon the birth of the boy, the will
sets any such plea at rest, by its ac-
acknowledgement, and unquestionably
not few people will believe the boy
entitled to more than that apportioned
him. The courts may not take this
view in Ell Paso county, which is such
a large beneficiary of the will, but the
Ell Paso courts may not be those of
last resort.

STEALING OUR WATER.

One of the forks of the source of
the Grand river, is being turned from
the Pacific slope of the Rockies to its
Atlantic slope and no remonstrance or
no effort is being made to restrain or
thwart this robbery of western slope
waters. Our fears for any evil con
sequences are lulled by being told that
it is too high up to damage the water
supply of the Grand.
For several years past The Sentinel
has warned the people that such pur-
pose was contemplated and was given
regular ha ha for its pains. The
prediction has become fact and yet
there seems to be little alarm felt.
We are not sufficiently informed to
give any statistics about the probable
source of our water supply. 1t may
have little physical effect. The NOR
al effect is of more consequence.
There should be no necessity to
present statistics. The mere relation
of the fact and its being true should
be sufficient to arouse Indignation,
protest and prompt and strenuous OBJ
jections. If this first robbery should
prove successful, more bold and far
reaching robbery of our wealth OF
water may result. 1t would seem
that statuatory process would provide
remedy for this robbery of our prop
erty rights.
Diverting streams of water from
their natural courses seems n most
unnatural, not to say illegal proceed
ing, whose consequences would be far
reaching. The abundance of water
in our streams have been of the few
graet natural attractions to commend
this barren slope to the settler and if
we complacently permit such robbery,
which is not only contemplated but
in effect already accomplished, we are
undeserving of any present or future
prosperity arising from one of the
greatest water supplies given any 1e-
gion in all arid America.

If Senator Beveredge had decided
he would liked to have had a joint
debate in Denver, he doubtless would
have been readily Accommodated. The
style of Beveredge oratory may be
convincing and his logic unassailable
in the east, but any one of half
dozen democratic leaders in Denver
could have successfully contested with
him and not suffered in the compar-
ison. Even with republican audi
ence, desiring to please the speaker
adm be pleased, it was hard to gain an
answering echo to his oratorical eli
makes in defense of the trusts and
combines
The daily sentinel., 1902-09-22

Nearly all of the republican press
begin their weighty politial argument
thusly: Truth demands the statement
that democracy has placed much
stronger ticket in the field than was
anticipated. But we regard the re-
publican ticket equally as strong and
because our candidates are not so
we'll known. their strength is aug
mented. - We agree entirely with the
republican view of our ticket 1t is
strength personitied. Every man
thereon adds strength to the whole
ticket. But the argument that be-
cause the candidates on the republican
ticket are unknown, makes it a for
midable ticket, is new idea and it
will require that each republican
spellbinder carry rules in logic to
convince his hearers of the strange
deduction.

company in Boston are to push the
work of bidding, SO that the actual
work on the buildings may begin at
once. The arrival of these plans
more than ever clinch the matter that
the smelter is to be built and is an
other industry to make Grand juno

of the sunburst in heavy stitching of

measures fourteen by ten and one-half

handsome one and will probably be al.

With Secretary Welles' regulations
were also provisions for flags which
should Indicate the presence on board
any vessel of the vice president, men,
bers of the Cabinet and governors of
the States, but they are rarely, If ever
used. Indeed, the Presidents own flag
has been so infrequently displayed
that when President Harrison went up
the Atlantic coast in the Dolphin, with
his flag displayed, he was ridiculed by
number of prominent newspapers,
the editors of which did not know that
the custom was established a century
ago.

made at the Oxygen hospital, London.
The gas Is used for the cure of quite
n number OF diseases. A woman was
undergoing the oxygen cure for skin
disease, and one OF her arms had for
many days been placed In a light air
tight box filled with the gas. 1t was
soon noticed that on that part OF the
arm that was unaffected by the dis
ease the growth Of hair was much
stimulated and this naturally suggest
ed oxygen as cure for badness.
The first experiment was made upon
woman who had completely lost her
hair, and 1t was found that after a few
weeks treatment there was quite n
strong growth. The gas Is used I'm a
very similar manner, n hollow flexible
cup being placed over the head This
Is connected by means OF an india rub
Der tube to small gas bag, and is
worn day after day until cure is af-
fected
But by far the greatest service that
oxygen Is to perform is In the cure OF
consumption. The patients nhale the
gas for 10 hours every day and find
almost immediate relief. The germs
of the disease cannot exist In oxygen
alone, though In common air they
multiply rapidly. This Is. at present,
the only weak point OF the system, for
1t Is found that In practice the patient
loses during the night almost all tho
benefit that he has derived from the
inhalation Of oxygen during the day.
But this objection is to be swept away
when a new laboratory has been built
where consumptiyes will be made to
breathe the gas day and night until a
cure has been affected.

Where manhood's clarion seemed to call,
All that was the sweetest dream of all
When | was boy-a little boy!
I'd like to sleep where used to sleep
When | was a boy-a little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep

From the heart that is weary and faint

The peace | have never known since

his last illness. One day, as the story
is recorded in Salad for the Social"
the King said to him:
You have, presume, helped many

for the doctor, but the dose he gave the
