postoffice one day this week:
BONNER SPRINGS, Kan
January IL, 1901
Postmastc at Marshall, Colo
DEAR SIR: In looking over the
map of Colorado l notice the name
OF Marshall, about Ave miles east
OF La Junta. Will you please
write and tell me how the town or
station came to be called Marshall
At this time thirty-eight years ago
| was camped near the vicinity of
Marshall for over three months
with herd OF oxen. left with
my oxen and wagons in April and
have not been back since.
On pleasant day, February
u. 1864, chiseled my name on
solitary rock that stood about one
yard high on the valley, half way
between the river and the southern
bluffs, and seeing the name Mar
shall. l thought your stations
name might have originated from
that. think the rock was located
near where your town now is.
Please write if you know anything
about the rock or the way the town
or station got the name.
Yours respectfully,
H. c. MARSHALL.
The TRIBUNE has been requested
to answer the above letter, and give
the information desired. Ii is no
great pleasure to undeceive 4 man
who is laboring. under the halIu-
cination that honoSs unsought have

may probably believe that undying
fame has been given his name.

searabmus. Egxpt,s Sacred Beetle

Scarab9us, ''the god beetle of the low
er Nile" has been worshiped, petted
and feared by several benighted sects
of Egypt since the time when the
mind and history of man runneth not
to the contrary" Like the other sacred
creatures Of idolatrous countries, sew
eral mythical fancies are woven around
this chronological rarity.
The number of its toes, thirty, were
supposed to symbolic the average
number of days in a month. On each
new moon day it deposited ball COLI
tanning 360 eggs, which the Egyptian
priests assured their followers referred
to the number of days in the year, the
brilliant golden color of the ball itself
personifying the sun. In ancient times
this curious beetle was declared to be
of but one sex, the male, but modern
investigation has exploded that one
myth at least.
In connection with the Egyptian ma
tions the GnOstics as we'll as some Of
the early Christian fathers speak Of
Christ as the scarab9us and symbolic
him as a man with a beetles head.
The Egyptians always embalmed this
sacred insect.

Two sickrOom warnings.

In a recent lecture on first aid to the
injured the speaker emphasized two
cautions that are so commonly disre-
garded as to be well worth repeating
in print. The first is, never rub a per-
son with liniment that has been put
on flannel cloth, for the roughness of
the flannel and the friction on the
skin, with the penetrating ingredients
Of the liniment win easily make an
abrasion of the skin, producing a con-
dition that may take weeks to heal
The second warning is that in any con-
ditiOn of uncOnsciousness the hot OBJ
ject applied, bag, bottle, brick or what
ever it may be, must be wrapped in
flannel or cloth before it is brought
into contact with the flesh of the per-
son to be treated. A severe burn is
often made by thoughtless attendant
who puts a too hot water bottle next
to the skin while the patient is uncon-
scious or unable to move away.

"Your Golden Medical Discovery and Dr.

Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid on the sale of less
meritorious medicines will offer the Gus
toner a substitute as being vjust as
good" as the Discovery" It is better
for him because it pays better, but it is
not as good for you, if you want the
medicine that has cured others, and

A DANGEROUS TRAITOR.
The Result of Pechantre's Plot to
Kill the King.

HAAAA the ming.
Probably no we'll meaning poet was
ever more taken by surprise than was
M. Pechantre, a gentle and mild NAH
nered French dramatist of the seven
teenth century, who was one day ar
rested for high treason as he was
peacefully eating his dinner at a vii
lage inn.
The landlord of the inn where he
was in the habit of dining discovered
on a table a piece of paper on which
were written some unintelligible
phrases and below in a plain, bold
hand, Here will kill the king"
The landlord consulted with the chief
OF police. Clearly this clew to a con-
spiracy ought to be followed uQ. The
person who had left the paper had al
ready been remarked for his absent
air and cleaning eye. That man was
Pechantre.
The chief of police instructed the
landlord to send for him the next time
the cOnspirator came to dinner.
When Pechantre was shown the evil
dence Of his guilt, he forgot the awful
charge against him and exclaimed:
"Well, l am glad to see that paper.
have looked everywhere for it. 1t
is part of a tragedy am writing. 1t
is the climax of my best scene, where
Nero is to be killed. 1t comes in here.
Let me read it to you" And he took
a thick manuscript from his pocket.
Monsieur you may finish your din
ner and your tragedy in peace" said
the chief of police, and he beat a hasty
retreat

STRIKING TRANSFERS 1T BAY
Boston Bosses Secure a Tempo
 rary Injunction.

Police Instructed to Arrest Strikers on
 Slightest Proyocation Saturday
 Being an Idle Day in Schools and
 Some of the Offices, the Police An
 ticipate More Trouble Than ususl
 To-day.
 Boston. Jan 25.-The teamsters' strike, approaching the close of it's first week to-day, presented several new phases. Wlth temporary in- junction restraining strikers from in- terfering with the business Of the k. 5. Brine Transportation Co in their favor, the company found things look ing brighter, although the managers could point to no indication of a settle ment. Instructions given the police to arrest as disturbers of the peace per- sons using epithets towards team drivers or others, with the announce ment that it was possible to impose a fine of 8 for the offense, were ex- pected to quiet the crowds.
 The withdrawal of President ". H. Lincoln of the chamber of commerce as party to negotiations for a settler ment and the resignation of two of the prominent members of the strike com mittee,s upon learning that an injunc- ton had been granted, has brought to the front new leaders to undertake to bring the trouble to a close These developments gave the strike quite a new phase to-day.
 There was some apprehension at DO lice headquarters when plans for the day were being laid. over the fact that with no school to keep the boys away and short day in many lines of trade, It must be difficult to control the crowds. The police took their sta tions under imperative orders to keep the people moving and to arrest all dis turbers immediately. Captain Gaskil of division 9 was assigned to assist Deputy Superintendent Hanscom, who has been ill charge of the force since the. beginning of the strike.

MORE SALOONS FOR LAWYERS.
Mayor Charters of Ansonia Says They
 Are Needed.

New Haven, Jan 25.-stephen Charters. the carpenter mayor" of Ansonia, was the star witness before the county commissioners yes terday i'll support of granting or q liquor license to Max keil for 2oo Main street, Ansonia. There has been a saloon there for thirty years.
 The objection to the saloon is that there are too many now on Main street
 Mayor Charters, in answer to ques- tions, said in part that he was q tenn perance crank, although he didn't De long to any of the societies. So far as he was concerned every door could be an entrance to q saloon without any personal effect on him. As to the erec- ton of the new city hall, he would like to know how anyone knew there was going to be new city hall.
 He was asked by Senator Holden. who represented the femonStrantS, if there was q public demand for q saIonn at the place in question.
 Mr Charters answered that from the amount of liquor that lawyers drank, lie thought there was a demand for many more saloons.
 Chief Carey of the Ansonia police force, and two members of that de. pertinent. testified that q saloon at that location was necessity. It was brought out that Chief Carey owns the building in which the saloon is located.
 John R. Murray was one of the chief remonstrants. Chief Carey said of him, he didn't see what license he had to object to q saloon and added some- thing about Murray's wearing out shoe leather to get to one.
