WARDEN CAUGHT I'M BEAR TRAP.
Colorado Official Prisoner All Night

Colorado Official Prisoner All Night
in Confiscated Concern.
Denver, June 20.-Caught in a bear
trap, alone in the dark, Thomas Hol.
land, state superintendent of fish
hatcheries, had an awful time at the
statehouse Tuesday night, which will
disable him for several days and which
came near Gripping him for life.
One of the exhibits in the game COM
missioners' Office is the heavy steel
trap which was seized when Ernest
Thompson-Se and Guide John Golf
We're accused of using venison for
bait. The trap is firmly padlocked to
the steam pipes. In the early evening
Mr.. Holland had some visitors, and
he showed them how the trap was
set. Mr.. Holland is something of
joker. and it occurred to him that 1t
would be amusing to leave the trap
set as to scare the statehouse janitors.
His friends left, and Mr.. Holland re-
NAMED to make up some arrears OF
correspondence. Just before midnight
he turned out the light
Mr. Holland forgot the trap, unit,
it's jaws snapped about his leg lust
above the ankle, two of the inch long
spikes penetrating to their full length.
The bone was almost broken by the
iron grip. 1t was after daylight be-
fore he managed to attract the at
tention of the night Waterman, and
then 1T was half an hour before they
got the grip released.

! WILL REMOVE FR|ARS
Judge TAFT Successful in His
Negotiations With the Pope
at Rome.
His Holiness Consents to Re.
moval of the Friars From
Philippines.
American Priests to Take Their
Places Sc. Will Sign Agree
ment Today.

| Rome. June Observation-Disclosures Sec
rotary of State Cardinal Rampola to-
day assured Right Rev. Thomas O'Gor-
man, bishop of Sioux Falls, S. D., tina,
| the vatican accepts the proposition OF
Judge Taft regarding the disposition OF
friars' lands in the Philippines on all
the main points, but dissents on minor
points. official documents are being
prepared at the vatican and will be de-
livered to Taft today.
Rome, June 20.-The pope has prac-
tically accepted the American pro-
posals with reference to the friars ana
the status of the Catholic church IN
the Philippines. One or two minor
details remain to be settled. 1t Is
expected that written acceptance Will
be made today.
The announcement of the success OF
the Taft mission has produced con-
siderable surprise, not because of the
ultimate issue, but because OF the dis
patch used in the settlement or the
question is so contrary to the habit OF
vatican diplomacy.
The unusual procedure Is due to the
personal and direct intervention of tn,
pope, who, one of the most infiuentia!
cardinals said, showed himself more
American than the Americans. When
the gradual withdrawal of the friars
was recommended to him he exclaimed:
rsWhy. the withdrawal OF the friars
took place when they left the Philip
pine parishes to which they have since
been unable to return"
Leo refused to listen to objections.
He said he wanted to finish immediate
ly to satisfy Gov. Taft, as he was
most impressed with American hon
esty and the moderation shown thru
out the entire negotiations.
1t is stated on good authority that
Manager Sbaretti, who was appointed
apostolic delegate to the Philippines,
and who never reached his post, but
stopped at Washington, where he is
still trying to obtain Cardinal Martin
ellis position in America, will be or
dered not to proceed to Manila but TO
return to Rome, it being wished to
i We a prelate in the Philippines more
to carry out the agreement
which Gov. Taft has just concluded
here. 1t is said the influence of Arch
bishop Ireland contributed to thin
change on the part of the vatican.
Gov Taft has indirectly been in
formed that the vatican will be ready
to accept any suggestion he has tq
make about the prelates which are
best fitted to occupy the position Of
ta1; lata Not 10 yyoS I,it
ton and Manila. Taft is much too
clever to fall into SO obvious a trap.
as should he do so now he would Gre
ate precedent SO on a future occasion
the vatican could ask America II such
or such a candidate were persona
grata, until perhaps it would end in a
demand fer an American diplomatic
at Rome.

Chicago, June 2O.--Telegrams re-
ceived at Yokohama just before the

French have purchased the promontory
of Katai, near Macao, Portuguese

of establishing naval hospital for

This promontory commands the ap-

The English at Hong Kong are much
disturbed and have protested to the Pc

have been made, 1t is feared that
France will fortify Katai, as the French
have lost no, opportunity during the
past three years of strengthening their

4 Prescott Woman

The Phenix Gazettee, speaking of the visit of Miss Sharlot Hall to Phenix, says:
 Miss Sharlot M. Hall is in Phenix collecting notes for an illustrated ar ticle on the city for Out West. which is an old friend with new name being better known as The Land of Sunshine, the bright western maga- zine which Charles F. Lummis has for seven years published at Los An geles.
 Miss Hall has answered the roll call of literature for Arizona with something very different from the "Wolfville" and Kicker" stuff, which has done so much to misrepresent the southwest to eastern readers. Her poems of the desert have been copied far and near and have been received as the most remarkable verse that has come out of the west since Joaquin Miller touched his highest point. Her stories of pioneer Arizona touch the finer, stronger side so little known beyond the hearts of those who have lived it-and critics regard them as promising great things in the wes- tern literature of the future.
 Out West is of special interest just now as the official organ of the irrigation movement and the water and forest association which is doing the strongest practical work that has yet been done for the prt servation of western forests"

Simple Smallpox Remedy.

The American Medical Journal contains the statements that follow, which are of special interest now when smallpox is prevalent through out the country:
 "The vinegar treatment as a pre- ventative against contagion of small pox introduced by Dr. c. F. Howe, county health officer, Atchison, Kan, has been efficient in several hundred cases of exposure in this city of Atcnison and Atchison county. Many of these exposures have been the nurses, as well as many others that it was impossible to isolate from the original case of smallpox for the want of room. It is claimed that anyone. vaccinated or not, can nurse a case of smallpox without fear of contracting the disease if, at the time, he uses vinegar in table spoonful doses four times daily in half cup of water. Even after the person has run almost the entire incubation period, the use of vinegar will either abort the disease entirely or modify to the extent of having all the prodermal symptoms without the disfguring eruption. To get the immediate control of small pox epidemic in a community every one should take course of vinegar for week, whether exposed or not.
 Diluted vinegar applied locally will controll the itching of smallpox.
 "A slippery elm poultice applied to the face while in the vesicular stage will not only abort the pustular stage, but prevent the pitting. The poul- tice must not be used until the yes ciles have formed"

His Programme MIscarrled.

The following from an Idaho paper will be appreciated by every news paper man who reads it as there is not one in a thousand who has not had similar experience:
 Yesterday morning We came down to the office with big days work ahead of us firmly resolved to clean up at all hazards. The first number on the program. after we had taken of our coat, was a-book agent who insisted on showing us the evidences of his responsibility, with which we had no concern or interest on earth. After wrestle lasting thirty minutes we got him to the door and out, just in time to let in the lady secretary of the society for the Relief and Proven tion of Impure Morals. We inwardly boiled for twenty minutes while she showed us the scope and mission of the society. We got her out by prom ising to run a column for her every week. Then a large lady with card of thanks blew in, recited to us the details of the deceased Henry's life, and how he worked up from the log ging camp to position of influence. We started few tears with her and promised to publish it. Exit large lady and enter a larger man with still larger bill which we were some time begging of. While we were thus engaged an exchange fiend came in and touched us for our late mail and upset the paste. Then we went out and got drink and lightning rod agent fastened on us while we were negotiating another one, and we were late home to dinner.

4 Suicide Club.

At Compton, Ky, suicide club was formed by ten young men, with this law as basis: "We do solemnly agree to use every effort to secure a wife, but. in the effort that we are re- jected when we propose to a girl, we will commit suicide by jumping of a cliff" A similar band was formed in the same community few years ago, but it was not known until a man named John Golfer was found one morning swinging to a tree with a copy of the bylaws in his pocket.
 The organization of the new club has called forth a number of letters of protest from women in that part of the south, but it has remained for Miss Claudia V. Bess, a prominent young woman of Compton, to hold the club up to scorn. Miss Bess' let ter has attracted much attention. She endeavors to dissuade the young men from what she calls "a cowardly and dishonorable act" which twill injure none but your own egotistical selves" and brings but days notori- ety to the victim. She says, writing to the president of the club: "Do you know how much the world will miss youl Go to the seashore, take from the beach one grain of sand. The vacant space left behind will tell you the story far better than I how much you will be missed"

IT BEGINS TO HURT.

The policy of New Jersey, in turn ing out hordes of loose jointcd cor porations with unlimited powers to prey upon the public, is beginning to make its pernicious effects felt at home, for we notice that a bill was introduced in the legislature of. that state providing that corporations hereafter chartered there shall at least once every year make public a balance sheet which shall show. among other things, the amount of capital stock issued, and the amount paid up, distinguishing the amount of capital paid up in money and the amount paid up otherwise than in money, and the arrears Gf any) of calls due" Other statements as to debts, surplus, etc, are also required. The bill will probably not become a law, because the fees which New Jersey receives for these letters of marque and reprisal which she issues to commercial privateers constitute a fund sufficient to pay the running ex- denses of the state, and that is a con- sideration not to be disregarded, but the introduction of such a bill ir the legislature shows that even in New Jersey there is some dissatisfaction with policy which turns loose upon the country lot of blind pools, to plunder the peopleof that state along with the rest.-Ex.
