love for her, and that sorry that left her in
the stormy days of the sixties" This expresses
the spirit of the south-gallant, loyal fight
ing fellows, and willing to admit that they were in
the wrong. Such a nation of people cannot be
conquered. This love for the flag and for the in
stitutions of our beloved land will forever protect
her against any who might desire to enter to
quer. The custom of decorating the graves with
flowers from natures breast is pretty one. Let
us perpetuate it as long time shall last.

7. A. Lilly, of the firm of Wright, Lilly & Co.,
the well-known brokers of Colorado Springs has
spent considerable time in the city during the past
ten days, and expects to spend great deal more
during the coming three months. Mr.. Lilly IS sec
retary of the Lucania company and one of the
frankest, fairest and most enterprisng writers in
the west. He writes prospectus that tells the
story of the property in the fairest possible
ner. Il up here, - he remarked the other day,
"because want to familiarize myself with every
thing connected with the Lucania and its proper
ties. We receive hundreds of letters asking about
the Lucania every week. and want to be in po-
siton where 1 can write and tell them the truth
Just have it. In this district the truth is
good enough and needs establishment I
familiar with Cripple Greek, and when say that
Cripple Greek lacks the advantages for the inves-

truth" Mr.. Lilly has the right idea. 1t does not
pay to feed stockholders prospective stockhold-
ers on a lot of plunder that no part of the stuff
could be proven. A man can tell the truth, prove
it then have all he needs so far as Idaho Springs
properties concerned.

Topics at Georgetown, contained very pretty
reference to the recent trial of the Cevelands at
Georgetown. 1t is stated that while majority of
the people were interested principally in the evil
dence as it was adduced, yet the most important
part of the trial consisted in the presence of the
widow of the late Jack johnson and the wife of the
trial for murder. Both women had little
babies with them and the one was hoping that the
life of her husband might be in somewise avenged
while the other tearfully praying that the life
and liberty of her husband might be saved to her.
The trouble that resulted from the heat of passion
in saloon at Empire the night of the murder
went further than the two interested so far as the
law IS concerned-the murdered and the murder
ed 1t entered two homes and robbed both of Joy
and sunlight. Brawls of this character are always
a good thing to avoid married mans place is
at home when he has better place to spend his
evenings than at a saloon.

Oliver App, of the App-Sutherland Engraving
came in Sunday afternoon via the Colorado and
Southern on bicycle. Mr.. App is mountain
climber by nature, and who has always en-
joyed being in country where gold and silver is
part of the treasure to be found. While he has
a good business in Denver yet he believes that it
makes brain and Drawn to get out in the hills and
exercise, and also believes 1t makes money as we'll
The ride up from Denver on the ties of the rail-
road is not one that many people would be apt to
enjoy, but Oliver says he enjoyed it, and as proof
of his assertion took the wheel route home again.

man suggested to the other day that
breach of promise suit in the higher strata of Ida
ho Springs life was one of the features of the fu-
ture, There ought to be some way by which
compromise could be effected, and the old bache-
lors given chance to act substitute. 1 believe
there several of them who would take con-
tract that nearly drawn up and sign it. The part
they dread is popping the question.

1t looks good these days to take peep at the
old Allan mill that is now being used by the Gold
Cord company. The bins are filed with ore from
the Lexington, the whole concern has been re-
modelled until it is as modern as a dollar of the
coinage of Ioo2 aud the amagamating plates are
showing most generous rifles of gold. All this tells
the story of prosperity not only for the Gold Cord
company, but for the district well.

Just to show how easy it is TO fall in the net of
the physician of the doctors is telling how an
other one got case. A. says that B. was called to
look at the lower limb of well-known citizen to
see what was wrong with it. AS matter of fact
there nothing out of place. The doctor pull
ed his leg" however and in pulling it broke it.
The next job was to set it, and that cost money.
