IN THE GABRlN CASE
INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE.
Gabrin's ReIatives-Detectives Arc
Engaged in Looking Up the Facts

Denver. April 1S.-An official investi
CATION is under way regarding the
death of Representative Albert Cab
rim, who died January Sth from arsen-
ical poison contained in punch made of
claret wine.
Detectives have been placed on the
ease, and will continue their investi-
cations until the matter is completely
sifted Chief of Police Armstrong yes
terday called at the district attorneys
office and engaged in conversation with
Acting District Attorney Sales. The
chief said the mystery should be inyes-
tigated When Mr.. Sales asked him
why his department did not act, Chief
Armstrong replied:
~ have had no instructions, and do
not feel as though l ought to take It
upon myself to begin an investiga-
ton"
Mr.. Sales at once advised the chief
to take up the matter and investigate
it carefully. Chief Armstrong replied
that he would act Immediately upon
the advice of the district attorneys Of
flee and set in motion the detective ma
chinery of the police station looking to
n solution of the mystery. He told
Mr.. Sales that he would at once place
his best detectives upon the case and
keep them at work until Il solution was
reached.
Despite Herman Gabrins statement
that his late sons wife had no oppor-
tunity of seeing or touching the wine
until it was mixed in the punch, OF
which the entire family partook with
such disastrous results. he said yester-
day to a News reporter: IF all should

'She has pretended that she did not

my daughter Rose: L thought you girls

said to me: If we had the insurance
money / would go to California and
would take Agnes with me- My girls
had no trouble with their brother. If
Mrs Gabrin had as good feeling toward
him as his sisters. believe it would be
different
The old man positively refused to ex-
plain this last remark. He went on:
Last fall, or at any rate long before
Christmas. she told me that Albert was
insured in the Woodmen and the girls
Were beneficiaries, but after they We're
married he would have to sign the pol
ley over to her"

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting of re-
peated layers of wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs of disease that may be propa-
gated In the very absorbent and de-
caying mass of flour paste, paper,
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent
health officers and sanitarians, urging
that such practice should be stopped
py legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these sanitarians
recommend Alabastine as a durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This Is a
very important question. and, as it
costs nothing to avoid this danger,
why take any chancesT"
How much of the alarming spread
OF smallpox and other diseases may be
due to unsanitary wall coverings?

GERMAN ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
Failure of Electricity on Long Freight
Lines.

Herr Won Thielen. Prussian minister
of public works. speaking befoiV the
Diet recently on the railway budget,
referred to the application of electrici-
~ to roadgauge, long-distance rail
ways. He reviewed the recent expert
ments on the Wannsee and Seossen
roads, and said that traffic on the for
mer, which is a Berlin suburban line.
had been abandoned, because electrici-
ty as motive power was twice as eX
pensive as steam and less secure from
accidents.
The insulation was never wholly per-
feet, continued the speaker. and he was
therefore convinced that the high
power, long train system could not be
generally adopted.
The authorities We're negotiating,
however, with an electrical company to
introduce electrical traction ON all
trains between Grosslichterfelde, seven
miles from Berlin. and the capital,
with prospects of better success.
Referring to the high velocity attain
ed during the single car experiments
on the military road between Berlin
and Seossen, where speed of 100
miles an hour was reached, the minis
ter of public works said he hoped for
increased speed through the strength
ening of roadbeds. though he was still
doubtful as to whether high speed cleo
trical traction was profitable. He said
it must be confined to passenger traffic.
A tramp called his shoes corpora
tions" because they had no soles.

Deafness. Cannot b. Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseas ed portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies Deafness Is caused by an
Infiamed condition of the mucus lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have n rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and wher 1t is entirely closed deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.

Band Gave Leader a Present And
Then Ate OYSTERS.

After band practice last night W.
II. Storm, who has been musical di-
rector of the band for nearly "A year,
was presented with gold watch and
chain. On the case of the watch was
engraved "Florence Military Band to
". II. Storm. Mr.. Storm has
charged nothing for his services dur
ing this time and the band boys wish
ed to show their appreciation of his
efforts.
After the presentation was made G.
p. Nix read communication from
the secretary Of the ". of W. lodge in
Pueblo, directing Mr. Nix to take the
band 10 the Idlcwild and to fill them
up ON oysters. The band accepted the
invitation without a dissenting voice
and the supper was enjoyed to the full
extent.
The Florence Military band is to be
congratulated uTou its progress. Al
though only having been organized
about nine months, and starting in
with greater art of raw material,
the boys play now fairly difficult
music. At the start they had not an
instrument of their own hut now they
own enough to 90 all around and the
band numbers twenty members.
