FIRE BOYS MEET.
Preliminary Matters Considered Concerning
the Big Blowout.

Preliminary Matters Considered Concerning
the Big Blowout.
The fire laddies were out in force Tues
day night. A meeting of the department
was held at their rooms in the fire house
for the purpose of making final arrange
ments for the celebration which is to be
held on July 5, and S.
The meeting was called to order by
Chief Reed, who announced that no time
should be lost in getting everything in
readiness, so that the affair could be
properly advertised. He called upon mem
bers who are working in the mines, ask
ing what had been accomplished in the
way of securing money for the prize drill.
Many reported that they had been prom
ised by the mine owners and miners that
donations could be expected as soon as
definite action had been taken.
Each man was furnished with a sub
scription blank, and received instructions
to hurry the work and report at the next
meeting just how much money had been
secured. The payments are to be made
by June 10. 1t is necessary that $500
should be raised, and one member report
ed that he had already been pledged more
than $50, so it is quite evident that the
members will have little difficulty in rails
ing the required amount.
The department as body decided that
a dance should be given on the evening
of the Fourth, and accordingly the chair
man appointed a committee of three to
take entire charge of the affair This
committee will make its report at the
next meeting.
The running teams which will compete
for the prizes in the fremen's tourna-
ment, give promise of giving the visiting
teams run for the money. No pains
will be spared to get the speediest men in !

The BEST OF ALL


'From the records have been able to
obtain" said Eugene Carl, manager of
the Soda springs, ''it is a safe prediction
that Idaho Springs will entertain more
visitors this summer than ever in its his
tory. Every day 1 receive letter from
stockholders in the Big Five company
asking me to secure houses for them dur
ing the summer months. This l find is
an impossibility. 1t took me three days
to find one house for man who lives in
Ohio, leave alone finding enough for
regiment of people. The best can do is
to notify large parties that the safe and
sure way to secure a place to sleep is to
bring a tent and roll of blankets. AL
ready am assured of enough visitors to
occupy the ground along Soda creek for
quite distance. Many will be sent up on
Soda hill, and things are going to be
lively up our way.
"We opened the pool three weeks ago
and during that time we have registered
more people than any other register for a
previous year shows. The number is in
creasing daily, and when the Sunday ex-
cursions commence tomorrow, the build
ings and tunnels will be alive with peo-
pie.

Other organizations in the district will
be asked to assist in the parade, among
those being Odd Fellows, Elks, Masons
Workmen, Woodmen of the World, the
various labor unions and others.
Mayor Trathen is doing all in his power
to assist in making the occasion a mem
orable one, and says that many have
promised to take part in the parade.
1t should not be forgotten that there
are many graves which are filled by ex-
Confederate soldiers, many of them hav-
ing SONS who ably fought in the late
Spanish American war. Remember,
every one, the gap which once was open
between the North and South has been
forever closed and this great republic is
working in unison.
1t was only two years ago that the ex-
Confederates marched directly behind
the G. A. R. order in the Memorial Day
parade in Denver, and it was noticeable
fact that the feeling of friendship was
mutual between them.
The union printers of Idaho Springs
will send delegation to Denver for the
purpose of extending an invitation to the
typographical union of that city to attend
in body and join in the exercises.

parts of America and Europe. Remem-
Der that each party interested in the COM
pany has received a prospectus, and in
addition to that they are deeply interest
ed. The money that will be left in Idaho
Springs this year alone from the stock
holders will be no small item.
During the winter months, and espec-
tally this spring, we have been constantly
at work making improvements on the
baths. AS you will notice we formerly
did not have enough private rooms, but
this feature has been remedied. We have
added about dozen rooms and all will be
in first-class shape when the big crowd
arrives tomorrow. A steam heating plant
is being put in, and as soon as it is in
working order, the pool will be kept open
the year around. Yes, 1 look for sea-

1t is indeed fact that the Soda springs
are taking on an air of prosperity. The
manager is never idle and is one of the
most enterprising gentlemen in the city.
He is courteous and kind, and always
willing to show the visitors all the points

prise. In fact he is the right man in the

THE FRUIT PLETHORA.
Fine Apples Fed to the Pigs Because
of the superintendent Product
of the Orchards.

Rarely, if ever, has there been such
a superabundance of fruit as now
abounds in the New England orchards.
The limbs of the apple and pear trees
hang heavy under the weight of their
enormous yield, and the ground be-
meath the trees is covered with the de-
caying droppings. In some localities
fine apples may be had for the picking
and an offer of half a dollar barrel
for the fruit on the tree is eagerly ac-
cepted in the rural districts. Thou
sands of bushels are being fed to the
cattle and pigs and the cider mills are
glutted with raw material for the
presses. 1t seems a pity to see such
a large quantity of fine fruit going to
waste. 1t is almost superfiuous to Of
fer suggestion in the line of thought

DR.. John A. Wyeth, the discoverer
of the hot water cure for tumor, who
returned from Carlsbad and Paris
on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm the other
day, told of a wonderful theory adj

1T was on immunization from all

A dying patient RECEIVERS through the IN
deposition of humble German.
Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. C., very reput-
able and widely-known physician, living ON
c. Street, was called to attend very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found man about
forty years of age, lying in a FRUSTRATED and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in q
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa.
tient could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight of
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patients
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the men,
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grlef-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much; after
a few. hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirelyl
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he was well and
| out. When the doctor called a few DAYS
after, he was indeed surprised

CRlCKETS IN THE HAY.

When the pumpkins growing yellow,
And the apples getting mellow.
And the squirrels chatter wildly as they
store the nuts away,
What will make hefeelings gla Goer
Than to climb an old, brown ladder,
And listen to the singing of the crickets in
the hay?
There are all the hiding-places
Where the Jack lantern faces
Used to grin and wait our coming where
We put them in row.
And l hear the boyish singing,
And the merry laughter ringing
When we Knocked the noisy roosters VINO
were learning how TO crow.
And the apples we were eating
When we hurried home from meeting
Just TO lie and count the swallow nests high
up among the beams;
With our pillows made Of clover
AS we talked the future over,
Raising up the walls of manhood from the
timber of our dreams.
Oh, the time when apples mellow,
And the pumpkins getting yellow,
And the year is growing older, and your
youth has slipped away,
What will make the feelings sadder
Than to climb an old, brown ladder,
And to listen to the singing of the crickets
in the hay?
