A VOTING PRECINCT.
Bear Creek Is Seeking Self Government
For Its Generous People.

For Its Generous People.
Charlie Crosson, one OF the best known
and best liked individuals of the Clear
Creek mining district, was in the city
Monday from his home at Brook vale on
Bear creek.
Charlie was bent on two missions, the
first of which was to serve his county as
iuryman and the other was of business
nature.
For years the people living on Bear
creek have been compelled to come to
Idaho Springs for the purpose of voting
and also of registering. Since Idaho was
made a city of the second class the law
compels those who reside in sparcely set
tied districts to make registration per-
sonally.
AS time passed by the good people who
live along the stream which is famous for
its game and fish decided that hardship
was being worked upon them and active
preparations were commenced to cure the
evil. They consulted County Commits
sioner Coppard of the Idaho Springs dis
trict and that gentleman promised to lend
his support toward the establishment of a
voting precinct on Bear creek. 1t was
necessary that fifty signers to petition
should be secured asking that district
be created before any action could be
taken by the board. The matter was then
placed in the hands of Mr.. Crosson and
he at once set to work. Fifty-two names
have already been attached to the petition
and when the board holds its regular
meeting at Georgetown next month the
matter will be brought up for final action
"It is a shame" said Mr.. Crosson,
" that the people living along Bear creek
are compelled to travel from fifteen to
twenty miles in order to cast vote. And
this in free country. We have suffered
an outrage and now we are promised that
the finish is near at hand. We have in
our locality-the one which would be
created into voting precinct-over 100
votes, and anyone will concede that we
are right when we ask that precinct be
established.
Bear creek is receiving more than the
ordinary amount of attention from those
who are seeking place for summers
outing. Already parties are making
preparations to spend few weeks at this
popular resort.
at would be hard to locate place
where you can find bear, deer and all
other kinds of game the year round, to
say nothing of the fine fishing"

FROM TEACHERS DESK TO FARM.
A Woman who Despises the Aid of the
DiINtorY Hired Man.

A Woman who Despises the Aid of the
DHatory Hired Man.
Miss Abbie Pfeffer bears the distinc-
ton OF being the only woman in In
diana who conducts farm without any
assistance. With her aged mother
Miss Pfeffer lives in a quaint little
| house three miles southeast of Misa-
waka. She takes care of 40 acres Of
land, ploughing it, attending to the
harvesting, and doing all the necessary
chores.
Miss Pfeffer is a niece of former Sem
ator Pfeffer of Kansas. When her
father died ten years ago she began
teaching school. She had then just fin
ished her studies at the University OF
Indiana. But at This time Miss Pfef-
fais mother became an invalid She
had been managing the farm after the
death of her husband, and when she
was stricken with an ailment that pre-
vented her from leaving the house she
appealed to her daughter to manage
the land.
When the young woman took charge
of the farm several men were working
on it, Miss Pfetfer was most exact
ing employer. Furthermore, she did not
think the men got as much out of the
land as it was able to produce. So she
discharged them. Since then no man
has performed a days work on the
Pfeffer property.
The former school teacher has "run"
the farm during the summer and Win
ter; the girl who was graduated from
one of Indianas leading universities
guides the plough through the soil;
she who at one time saw brilliant
future before her haryests the grain.
Her hands, which were once white and
soft, have become callous and brown
IN the performance of that work which
calls her to the fields at sunrise and
finds her in the garden at sunset. But
in spite Of all this she says that if she
were asked to choose between farming
and teaching school she would keep
right on working in the fields
The hardest work performed by Miss
Pfeffer is raising Strawberries. She is
the recognized owner of the finest
tract of strawberries in the state, and
the name Of the "Pfeffer berries" is a
widely known one. The greater part
Of them are shipped to Chicago, where
they find a ready market, and it is
from this product that Miss Pfeffer de-
rives most of her income.
In addition to cultivating the forty
acre tract, Miss Pfeffer also does all
the marketing, churns butter and
maintains an inviting lawn, with floral
beds, in front of the house, around
which she herself built well-made

A man who was arrested by local
detectives a few weeks ago and after
ward sentenced to the penitentiary on
a charge of burglary talked freely to
the officer concerning his manner OF
living
"Will you tell me why you prefer a
life of crime to that OF an honest, up
right MANI" the detective asked him.
Il have often wondered" added the of
ficer, why burglars will take such des-
perate chances, when 50 frequently
there is but little to be gained"
But we don't take the chances.
said the burglar. THE man who comes
after us takes the chances. He takes
his life in his own hands when he
leaves his bed-chamber and goes in
pursuit of an unwelcome caller. The
odds are all against him and in favor
of us. We know where we are and
have an idea from where the occupant
of the house will come. OF course, We
only go to rob, and, when necessary, &c
fight No burglar is going to get
caught if he can help it, even if he has
to resort to murder
Still" the detective reasoned. you
are bound to be in danger some time
and that some time, | should think
would deter you from taking the
chances"
"There are remote chances the
burglar said, but they are SO remote
that they are never considered. If you
will consult the records you will see
that not one burglar in a hundred
cases ever gets hurt. Until there is a
great change in the results you may
depend upon it that burglaries will
not cease. Washington Star.

Although the famine over the greater

central Indian states is less widespread
than hitherto. there will nevertheless
be much suffering during the next few
months, and 100000 people are already
on government relief works. The rats
have to large extent disappeared
but have destroyed considerable por-
ton of the cotton crop. The inhabi.
tants of Gujerat are convinced that
the rats are reincarnaIions of their
friends who died in the last famine.

To understand just what is asser, ed
for The natural movement system OF
exercise it is necessary to take into
account that mans inherent and per
sistent tendency in his subconscious-
ness is to be healthy and to return
ever and again to the normal This
is demonstrated by the healing of
wounds by first intention, and in many
other ways.
Still, man is so truly free moral
agent that in a thousand ways his
body is contracted and hardened by
his own action; while the strong nat
ural tendency is TO openness and fleXi-
billy. When the tense and stiffened
condition is continued so persistently
that 1t becomes fixed, the human
mechanism can do but partial and
imperfect WuiH, as certain parts are
then incapacitated and their duties
are thrown on others, which have no
capacity TO fulfil them. 1t is said that
the natural movement system of eXer

in control secures restoration to per
fectly normal conditions.
AS the author relates, this system
was worked out from very simple
beginning. When preparing herself

and observations.
In doing this she found that when
ever she completely relaxed herself
ana waited in quiet silence she was
invariably inclined to movements
which were quite involuntary. Yield
ing to these, she found that from
day to day they progressed in req
ular sequence, and, also, she found her
health constantly improving.
Incited by her success with herself,
She set about studying as did Preyer
and Darwin. When she was satisfied
that she had found law which, while
simple, was far-reaching, she proceed
ed to test the value Of the system
thus evolved.
To make sure that she had made a
valuable discovery, she obtained per-
mission to see what she could do with
patients at the Boston dispensary in
Boston. Here she treated, and is said

Vitus' dance, ana case OF sciatica
of long standing. One child who had
spinal trouble was, by actual meas

Of six weeks treatment than at the
beginning.
1t was found that nervous diseases
were almost invariably helped by this
exercise. A United States senator,
suffering from extreme nervousness
and insomnia was cured, and he now
constantly practices these exercises.
