APEX HAPPENINGS.

A party was given last Saturday even
ing at the Town Hall in honor of Miss
Maud Coltrin, who recently arrived from
Chicago, Illinois. She is daughter of
Mrs. Coltrin of the Apex hotel, and is a
very charming young lady. Dancing
was kept up until midnight, when ad-
journment was taken and all retired to
the hotel where an elegant spread was
served by the young lady's mother, and
it is needless to say that ample justice
was done to it. Several people from
Central were present and all had very
enjoyable time.
Charley Fagen was taken to his bed
few days ago owing to sprained back.
It is to- be hoped that he will be about
again soon.
A club has been organized here con-
sisting of the young people of the town.
They call themselves the "Jolly Jokers"
and it is an assured fact that they are
jolly set. They meet each Saturday
evening at the home of some member of
the club and good time is had.
Each week from now on THE OBsER-
YER will contain all the news from Apex.
We have secured an efficient correspon-
dent in the person of Miss Mae Fagen.
She will keep US informed as to the do
ings and happenings of that place.

STRIKE IN THE RUNNING LODE.

A strike is reported having been made
in sinking the main shaft of the Run
ming Lode at Black Hawk, operated by
the Covers Syndicate. The ore is from
15 to Is inches in width and carries val
ues, for the most part gold, OF 500 per
ton. 1t also carries lead and yellow cop
per iron. The concentrates brings $50
per ton, while the second clans smelling
ore yields from $50 to 500 per ton. Mr..
Dunstone is getting the mine in splen-
did shape for an increase output OF ore,
by opening up new ground in sinking
wines and extending levels. Mr.. Dun
stone has worked in the mine on and off
for the past tw enty years.

WILL INCREASE CAPACITY.

The OBSERVER learns on good author
ity that the Rocky Mountain concentra-
tor in Black Hawk will change ownership
the first Of the coming month, and that
the parties who have the option on it,
will then make their final payment for
the property. The new owners will en-
large the plant, and when completed il
will be equal to any OF the works at
Idaho Springs. Denver and Boston par
ties are at the head OF the new enterprise
and they have ample means at their
command to erect such plant, 1t will
prove profitable investment

Battle With Ore Thieves.

A Victor, Colorado, special to Friday
mornings Rocky Mountain News, says a
very serious encounter between ore
thieves and Manager Shipman of STRAIT
toms Independence mine, took place last
Thursday morning about 4:30 O'Clock at
point in the 400 foot level. Lee Clock
ner, foreman of the ore house, is badly
wounded in both arms, the left member
being shattered at the elbow. He will
not, however, lose his arm, though it is
probable its future use may be impaired
permanently. Glockner also received
bad fractures of all the ribs on his left
side. These injuries werc caused by his
falling fifteen feet from some timbers to
the floor of the level. Three men, Har-
ley Lake, Harry Kuykendall and John
Friedestein, at late hour this after
noon were arrested in Cripple Creek.
About thirty-four shots were fred Oh
both sides and the wonder is that none
OF the combatants were killed outright
The thieves made their escape from the
mine by some exit which they were ap-
parently acquainted with and we'll pre-
pared to take to speedily in case OF
trouble. They were dressed as miners
and their features were hard to dis
tinguish by candle light under ground

A Reply from the Mili,ia,

Editor OF IEE OBSERVER;
DEAR SIR: In last week'o issue of your
valuable paper the Opera House orches-
ira addressed card to the public in
which they criticised Co. F, N. G. c., for
securing music from Denver for the mi
litia ball which occurs TO morrow even
ing. The committee Of arrangements for
the ball think that they pursued the
wisest course, and that the dancing pub
lie will uphold them. When music was
first spoken of, MIR. Mccarthy was asked
to furnish six pieces of music, and he re-
piled that he would only guarantee three
The committee were not satisfied with
this guarantee, and having ia mird the
failure of the orchestra to furnish the
guaranteed number of pieces on several
recent occasions, such as the Knights of
st. John ball when seven pieces of music
were engaged and only four showed up
and again the Russell ball when six
pieces were hired and only two arrived
decided not to risk having poor music,
and therefore ordered music from Dem
yer. Most certainly the ball is to be
the swellest OF the season, and rs such
we intend to have good music for the oc-
casion. Hoping this will make all expla-
nations necessary, we remain
Respectfully Yours,

Two FACE To Face.

That Republicanism and Democracy,
the two great American forces born
of principles that have divided senti-
ment since the foundation of this gov
eminent. now stand face to face be-
fore the country in their proper align
ment is fact not to be regretted by
those who desire a consistent settle
ment of existing issues.
There is no present need and no ex-
cuse for the organization or mainten-
ance of other political parties in this
country. The questions to be passed
upon in the near future are primal in
their nature and were long ago
weighed and analysed by Republican
and Democratic thinkers respectively.
The paramount issue is that Of govern
ment by and for a privileged class at
the sacrifice of the rights of many. or
government by and for the many at
the sacrifice of the unjust privileges of
the few. The Republican patty stands
for the privileges of the few. The
! Democratic party stands for the ri. hts
Of the many.
The truth of this continued align
ment is plain. In the approaching SEES
sion of the Fifty-seventh Congress the
representatives of Republicanism will
be found voting for the upholding of
the trust power, for the passage of the
$3.50, 100000 ship-subsidy bill taxing
the people for further enrichment of
the syndicates, for the maintenance of
the Dingley high-tariff law embodying
the principle which created and still
fosters the trusts, for whatever col
onial policy may be dictated by the
trusts. In each instance named the
Democratic party will be found fight
ing for the rights of the people as
against these influences of the priv
| ilege. There has never been a time
when the two great parties were more
clearly and distinctively arrayed one
against the other.
That the people understand how
definite is the approaching conflict be-
tween Democracy and RepublicariSm
is indicated by the practical elimina-
ton Of smaller and inconsequent po-
| litical parties from the field of battle.
There Will not be one Populist or silver
Republican member of the United
| States in The approaching session. The
National Congress will represent with
exactness the existing alignment of the
| American people. The two great par
| ties will exclusively occupy the field
in the political contests of 1902 and
1904. This fact is full of promise for
Democratic victory. The party of the
people has never been stronger, more
aggressive or better organized than
now.-St. Louis Republic.

The thing about Mr.. Mckinley that

the people in his judgment was that in
remarkable degree he possessed
equipoise He did not hurry, he was
not excitable, he did not show irrita-
ton, he did not scold. Mr.. Roosevelt
is the opposite. A special from Wash,
ington gives this incident:
President Roosevelt, after waiting
half an hour for his carriage. came
somewhat excitedly through the cor
ridors of the White House this after
noon, proclaiming that such a thing
would not occur again. Clad in Nor
folk jacket, corduroy knickerbockers.
yellow leather leggins and rough rider
hat, turned up al the side. such as he
used to wear in war days, he looked
veritable rough rider. He clambered
into Secretary Cortelyou's government
carriage and started to meet a friend
on the outskirts of the city with whom
he had an appointment for a cross
country walk.
o KooSeVelt 1t is objectionable to
keep one waiting. As he emerged
from the inner door the attendants
scattered and realizing that his ex-
cited manner was the cause of their
furry merry twinkle shone from his
eye as he looked from the carriage
window. He returned. however in
good humor'
There is something about such an in
cident that makes one feel that it is
not in keeping with the position of the
President of the republic-Abiline

The Impression seems to be somewhat
general that the growing of cowpeas is
to revolutionize farming in some way
unknown. The value of the cowpea is
mainly in its being a renovator of poor
soil. AS rule it will not pay to grow
cowpeas on any soil that is rich
enough to raise a fair crop of corn, but
on soil that needs an application of
manure or other fertilizer so heavy as
to be Improbable the cowpea will be
found valuable. In cold sections it
should be used almost wholly as
means of bringing up wornout soils
cheaply while in the South it may be
used as stock food as well. 1t is
strictly warm weather plant and seed
should not be sown until corn planting
time. BY all means try cowpeas on
any portion of the farm that is run
down, hut do not waste time growing
them or fields THAI are fnirly fertile.
