A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Somethlas New Uader the Sua."

All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snuffles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
full months treatment and every
thing necessary to it's perfect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
ton quickly and permanently and IS
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption -"Snuttles"
will save you if you use it at once.
1t is no ordinary remedy, but COM
plete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write full particu-
lars as to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the
iiscoverer of this wonderful RENE
dy regarding your case without cost
to you beyond the regular price OF
"Snuffles," the "guaranteed catarrh
cure"

An Extra Senator.

The problem OF an extra senator If
troubling state officials. The consti
tuition states that there can be l00
members OF the legislature, but under
the new reappointment act there will
be 10l members. There are now
eighteen holdovers i'll the senate under
the new district system, and eighteen
senators will be chosen at the next
election. These, with the sixty-five
representatives, gives the Legislature
one more than the constitutional mum
ber. As ii is stated that the two
holdover senators from the twenty
sixth district will not resign and as
the law says there are to be eighteen
senator's elected and eighteen holdov-
ers, the upper house would have one
more chan il should have. Senator
Roberts represents the old twelfth
district and Senator West the old
is formed from the two the election of
candidate from the new district
makes an extra senator.
Attorney General Post says that it
would be better for the secretary of
state to violate law than to go in
tI 10 nd aIr on
extra senator Mr.. Post says that he
would have no election in the new
twenty sixth district this fall, but
would allow Senator Roberts to repre-
sent it. The attorney general express
ed the following opinion:
''First-It will not avail for either
Senator Roberts of the old twelfth dis
trict or Senator West of the old eighth
district to resign. This would leave
vacancy in either case, which would
have to be filled, and thus more
senators would be elected than the
constitution allows.
''Second-My view is that Senator
West represents the eighth district,
which is composed of jefferson and
Clear Greek counties; this leaves Sen
ator Roberts to represent the twenty
sixth district, composed of Gilpin,
Clear Creek, jefferson and Boulder
counties, and that at the coming cleo
tion no senator should be elected from
leave the number to be elected at sew
epteen, which, with the eighteen leg
ally elected, qualified and acting hold
over senators, will make the requisite
number of thirty five.
50, il the secretary of state, in
issuing the call for the election of
senator's for the Fourteenth general
assembly, finds that the twenty-sixth
senatorial district is now in part rep
resented by holdover senator, Hon.
II. l.. Roberts of Clear Greek county
there can arise no disability, making
as the acts of the Fourteenth general
sembly obnoxious constltutionally on
account of Gilpin county not having
had part in the election of senator
for the Fourteenth general assembly.

Twenty Thousand People at Least
to Visit Florence.

The citizens of Fremont county and
Florence particularly, hail with de-
light the coming of the great Elks
Carnival to be held at Florence the
last week in August. If the people
will stop a moment and think what
the Carnival means to this community
in business way every business man
will join us, and expend certain money
in advertising the Carnival, by means
of having their stationery printed to
attract the attention of everyone with
whom they have correspondence. or in
anyway they may deem best to call the
attention of the outside world to the
greatest attraction Florence has ever
seen. Large numbers of people will
come here from points hundreds of
miles around, some to remain the en-
tire week and Others to remain per-
manently in our thriving city, where
the best advantages can be had for
business enterprises of whatever ma
ture. The people having the Carnival
in hand will leave no stone unturned
to make it an event long TO be remem-
bered, and during the attractions the
people are offered an opportunity

ST. Pierre's Rain Of Fire.

Bit by bit the cloud lifts off of the

green. Over all of it men built and
moved. The shock came and went and
left no sense of fear.
For month the peak rumbled. For
4 fortnight 1t shook. A week ago yes
terday the flood of lava filed, brimmed
and flooded over It's crater edge. The
world around, when that comes, dread
is passed. This is the rule For 1923
years 1T has held good at Vesuvius.
Once only, 1924 years ago. when the
peak had been green to its tip and held
an unclouded cone to the sky for four
centuries, the lava flow preceded a blow
which swept all the coast about.
This was once. There are scores and
scores of volcanoes where the lava flow
ends shock. earthquake and rumble. So
men held in st. Pierre. Fear ceased
Men soon grow used to all, even to a
smoking peak and lava flowing so near
that each night its red glare was to be
seen from each street. No man likes to
show fear before his fellow. The little
city's leaders held their place. They
counseled calm. Leaving meant loss.

been and ST. Pierre would stay the
smiling, whitewashed town in the dark

Thursday morning came, the great
curving pillar of steam and smoke ris-
ing dark and the sluggish lava slowly
seeking the sea down the long slope. No
warning was near. The clocks hands
moved smoothly to ten minutes of s.
The blow fell. Blind nature sprang the
trap baited with 10000 human beings.
Half the mountain rose in midair. A
flaming cloud of exploding gas, of
molten lava, of white hot ashes. of all
that earth's inner furnace can belch on
the outer air and sun was flung like the
net of fate over ST. Pierre. The front

devouring fame. The air was afire. In
that vast laboratory in which we live
and love and work and play, knowing
so little of it's secret force, some fell
touch had mixed this with that unit!
there sprang forth this rushing blast OF
sweeping flame The merciful heat,
swift to slay, licked UP lives as the fire
runs in dry grass and grows by what ii

aflame, it's rigging blazing, men slain

harbor-the only thing of mans handf-

to death and black night under the en-
veloping cloud which for hours rained

the depths of earth and the depths of
heaven.
What is man when these things come

change in the great globe. a shrinkage

EoRGEIEuLhEss oE DISASTER.

In view of the terrible disasters
which appear inevitable to mines and
unavoidable by miners, it would seem
that men could not be found willing to
pass their lives in so hazardous an
occupation. However. the miners who
panions today step carelessly into their
places tomorrow for their part in the
days work of the world. The life of a
railroad train man is one of constant
danger but the applications for such
positions are SO numerous that the
employing companies have found it adj
examination and an age limit. Facing
death is a common ordeal in the work
of the fire fighters of the city depart
ments, but hundreds of men are anX-
ious for the vacant positions on the
force. In fact, the dangerous occupa-
lions seem to have a charm which
draws men to them.
People forget so easily. A disaster
that slew hundreds last week is forgot
ten in the busy life of today. Hurrying
humanity looks forward and not back.
When the lava has cooled and the grass
has grown again over the slopes of
Mont Pelee population will creep back
with the vegetation. A new city Will
rear itself on the ruins of st. Thomas
and another busy civilization buzz
about the volcano until recurring erup-
tons destroy it. r'he Vesurian foot
hills are covered today with the homes
of Italian peasantry who live in reality
over a volcano.
No matter what the danger and diff
Guilty of accomplishment, the human
race remains indicated. 1t rides the
waters. digs in the earth and sits upon
the crater's rim, undisturbed by dam
ger and indicated by nature. No dis
asser can stop its eonquering march.
Perhaps it is well for the world that 1t
forgets SO readily.

The Touch of Nature.

| Warning nations MAIN and STAY
Where the war god sets his path:
Burn and harry day by day
In the ruthless way of wrath.
Yet when terror crowned the peak
And q million furies swirled
Over little Martinique,
She was kin to all the world.
War it's feast of death has kept
over every foot OF earth,
And the tears that sorrow wept
Have been held of little worth;
Yet when Nature rose in ire,
In the rage none understands,
Martinique's baptismal fire
Made her kin to all the lands.
When, with thrilling Shrek and roar,
All the pent-up torrents fell,
Burning field and plan and shore
With a breath that brimmed from
he'll,
Ere the flames their flags of woe
Had in floating smoke wreaths
furled,
Little Martinique could know
She was kin to all the world.
'Tis the touch of Natures hand
That marks our relationship
And bids words of pity stand
All a-tremble on the lip.
To the misery that man
Works himself he's ever blind,
But the touch of Nature can
Make whole world wondrous kind

A NOTED GRlzzLY's DEATH.
Hunters Got Bear That Had Terror
ICED Idaho Ranchcrs.

lSEOk2f1e ReNleW.l
Big Foot the gigantic grizzly which
had been killing off stock in the coun-
try around Lewiston, Idaho, for several
winters, is no more. He was killed a
few days ago by d. G. Holbrook, of
Sioux Falls, S. D.. a life insurance agent
who travels in Idaho territory. Hol-
brook and those who accompanied him
returned to Spokane, bringing Big
Foots hide with him. About eight days
ago Tom Hopper, the veteran bear hunt
er of Spokane, and Holbrook went down
into Nez Perces county, Idaho to cap
ture the gray terror of the hills. Ac-
companying them was L. w. Long, of
Spokane.
On arriving at Lewiston they found
that the grizzly was supposed to be off
somewhere in the hills, thirty-five or
forty miles to the southwest of Lewis
ton. The snow was two or three feet
deep in that section, but they wandered
around in it for about five days before
coming upon Big Foot's trail. Finally
one OF the dogs scared him up. He was
in a hole among some rocks on a ridge
sloping back from the head Of Captain
John creek, which is a tributary OF
Snake river.
The dogs got right on Big Foots
heels. He started to run. Hopper, who
had the dogs out, was about eighty
yards away when the race started The
bear ran like race horse, Hopper
says. For while he would run and
then he would turn to fight the dogs
that We're pursuing him. He would
chase them for about thirty steps and
then he would turn and run again.
Finally he made detour and rushed
down the side of the ridge. He came
within 100 yards of the place where the
entire party was camped. Long and
Holbrook We're in the camp at the time
and when they saw the bear coming
Holbrook grabbed his 30-30 rifle, aimed
and fred. The bullet pierced Big Foot's
heart and he rolled over dead Another
bullet was put thru his head to make
sure that he was gone.
Big Foot had killed about twenty
horses in the past few weeks. In the
country around where he was killed the
hunting party counted fifteen dead
horses. When Big Foot was cut open
forty pounds of horse meat We're found
in his paunch. The place where Big
Foot was killed is near the foot of
Craig mountain, between the Clearwa-
ter and Snake rivers. Hopper is bear
hunter of renown and has hunted bears
under all sorts of conditions It was
only luck that prevented him from car
rying off Big Foot's hide. He was the
first to see him, but never got within
range of him. Big Foot weighed about
1900 pounds. He was about nine feet
long and about three high. No exact
were taken and there
was no opportunity to weigh him. He
had claws over four inches long. Big
Foot had been a pest of the people re-
siding In the section where he was
killed for several years.
