question has been under consideration for
a long time by Superintendent Woods.
Before receiving the ofIer from the Texas
Company. he had reached the conclusion
that OIL could be successfully used In the
Capitol building "a fuel for heating pur-
pOses. He argued that oil fuel would OBJ
viate the coal gas odors which often cfE7r

II would cbviate the handling Of large
quantities Of ashes. which have TO Be els-a

like. But 10 me the raise in the price
of beef is very easily explained. 1t
is due almost wholly to a short corn
crop last year and to a great demand
for beef caused by the prosperity of
the people of the United States The
high price oil corn has made it neces-
sary for western cattle feeders to
send to the south for cotton seed meal
to feed their stock with. The price
of fat cattle on the hoof at the Chi
cngo stockyards has advanced from
4 or cents pound to cents. Men
who have fine beef cattle to sell can
almost get their own prices.
There is a great demand for cattle
and that means a great demand for
beef The people OF the United
States are eating more beef now than
they ever did before in their history.
This is because they are making
money and spending it. There are
not many families in this country
that do not have their steaks and
roasts and boiling pieces. The Ameri-
can people are by long odds the best
| fed people in the world.
Under such circumstances it is
only natural that the price of beef
should advance. Cattle and meat,
/ like all other commodities. have to
follow the laws of supply and demand.
Then men who have cattle to sell nat
urally want the highest prices they
can get. 1t is the same with the
packers and retailers"

MIDNieHT BURGLAR
Given Reception at The Famous
Last Night.

For some ten days Mr.. Rachofsky
Of The Famous has missed money
rom the cash register and also few
articles from the store, such as shoes
The person guilty knew the combina-
ton of the register and only took a
portion of the till. but made regular
visits. For two or three nights the
store has been under surveillance and
each night the thief got away. Yes
terday Mr.. Rachofsky called on the
mayor and wanted special watch
man but could not obtain one. He
next tried the sheriff's Office but find
ing no one in. the iailor. who was
present. said either himself or an Off
Ger would be down at IL o'clock, but
Mr. Rachofsky was disappointed in
this. Having been up several nights
Mr. Rachofsky went home, leaving
four of the boys on watch. He was
| called to come down to the store at
II o'clock. Shortly after the burglar
entered by basement window, COM
| ing upstairs through the clothing de-
partment. His footsteps were so
| light that he was not heard to go up
tiIt SlA4le W NuElt tic tdou ItSislti
IS located until the click of the key
was heard. Then the man retraced
his steps. coming down the stairs con
lectng with the dry goods section.
Here Sam Willow was stationed with
crow bar. with which he landed
upon the man, apparently doing no
| damage. He followed and grabbed
hold of the intruder, but at this mo-
ment one of the other watchers fired
out--retracing his steps through the
basement, thus eluding his pursuers.
Some five or six shots were fired but
the only trace OF the culprit was a hat
which was left behind.
/ There was excitement for a time.
| Night Policeman Alexander and j. l..
| Williams were soon on the scene and
hunted for some time for the man or
some trace, but their efforts were un-
successful.
| There were four watchers in the
| building at the time. 1t is too bad the
! thief did not encounter one of the
stray bullets. 1t is a sure thing how
ever, that he will steer clear of the
premises, but should he fail to do so
some one will land him.
Mayor Wall says there is misun-
derstanding. When Mr. Rachofsky
called on him he told him that the
city only had one policeman and
could not spare him, and mentioned
about getting him special watch
man Mr.. Rachofsky was willing to
pay for such man and Mr.. Wall sug
gested that he select the person and
then he. the mayor, would deputize
him to act, but expecting aid from the
sheriff's office as promised by the jail

Chanae of Priests.

Rev. Father Hickey made the an.
nouncement yesterday at the fore
noon services that he would sever his
connection with St Columba's church
as its pastor, and that on Wednesday
of this week he would remove to AS
pen to take the place of Rev. Father
Pitavel of that city who will come
here and assume charge of the local
Catholic parish.
Father Hickey came to Durango on
September 3, 1898. at which time he
found the church in somewhat dire
financial straits. There was debt of
SS64.25 ON the priests residence, and
the former pastors salary was $500
in arrears. Father Hickey at once
realized the situation and met it. The
former priests back salary has been
paid with interest, the debt on the
priests house has been paid in full
complete steam plant has been ad-
ded to the church, the building itself
has been provided with new pews,
painted inside and out, the priests
residence has been greatly improved,
new sidewalks have been laid about
both properties. and many other
things have been accomplished in the
way of improvement. In fact, with
out going into detail as to figures, the
parish today is exactly $3,536.97 bet
ter off than it was upon Father Hick-
eys arrival. This was shown by a
statement read at yesterdays fore
noon services.
Father Hickey certainly deserves
credit for what he has done for St
Columba's church and the parish
He has increased the valuation of the
church property nearly $4,000, besides
keeping up all current expenses of the
church.
The Herald joins Father Hickey's
friends in wishing him the greatest
success in his new field of labor
Father Pitavel will arrive In time to
conduct services next Sunday.

Presidents First Message.

The presidents first message was
considered by everyone, regardless of
political differences, to be a wonder
ful literary production, and was of
such character as would tend to
raise the author much higher in the
estimation of the people of the United
States. In selecting medicine most
suited for family needs it is always
wise to choose one that is held in high
esteem by thousands of people who
know its value from personal expert
ence. Such medicine Is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. No other remdy
can take it's place as cure for belch-
ing. heartburn, dizziness. headache,
nervousness, Indigestion or constipa-
tion, We would therefore, urse every
sufferer to try It. 1t is also a splendid
spring tonic and preventative of la
grippe. malaria, fever and ague.
