THE FIRES BANKED
Iron Furnace Has no More Ore for
Immediate Use.
Is Expected 1t Will Resume in Few
Days-High Water the Cause.

The fires at the furnace of the Ken
tuoky iron COMPANY: on South Third
street, were this morning banked on
account of shortage in ore, caused by
the overflow of the rivers which have
flooded their ore lands. There was a
good supply of ore on hand when the
furnace started, but such high stage
of water was not anticipated and the
fires were lighted with hope that
the ore would continue to come out
with its accustomed regularity.
The supply has run short, however.
because none conld be taken out, and
ii became necessary today to bank the
fires until the river receded and more
ore can be brought down.
The furnace is doing well, and the
quality of its iron is very fine. About
so tons day have been made, but it
is expected that it will reach 50 tons
when the furnace ugets into better
working order, and even more.

vsteatias Der.

Today is Valentine Day. A.
cording TO the legend, ST. Valen
tine was behezded on February
I4th. at Rome, under Claudius.
The old notion was that birds
began TO couple on that day, and
hence arose the custom of youn (
persons of both sexes choosing
each other as "vslentines" for the
ensuing year by species OF lot
terry, and OF sending love missives
to each other.
The practice OF sending valen
tines appears to be diminishing
year by year. Postal returns in
dicate a great falling off in the
numbers OF valentines sent during
the past decade, one large offic e
showing a decrease from II7.ooo
to IS. 900 within five years. The
sending of caricatures has equally
decreased, and the veiled insults
thus frequently offered have been
creditably reduced. The sending
OF valentines is harmless folly,
which is dying out.

"Not Guilty."

We are in receipt of a letter
from Walter J. kemper, dated
Denver. February nth, which
reads AZ follows:
EDITOR TRIBUNE: wish to
correct a report which occurred
here OF late in the Denver Repub-
lican. and which you inserted in
your paper, to the effect that
had eloped from here lately with a
married woman by the name oI
Mrs. kleese, and had issued q 10,
of fraudulent checks and sold my
drug store. Such report is ma.
liciously false and without any
foundation. l can say that neve,
even thought OF such a thing.
The very idea of such IS too absurd
to. even think Of. In justice &c
myself l wish you would correct
same, and kindly corrobor ate the
statement for me.
Yours very truly.

The TRIsuSE very gladly gives
space to the above to correct the
injustice of which Mr.. kempe,
unfortunately has been the victim.
One could hardly expect . news
paper to overlook such an item
altogether when it concerned a
person who was we'll known in La

story appeared in all the Denver

Captain Hardy at the Fair.

Since Captain Hardy's last appearance
at the County Fair, he has acquired the
title to the champion rifle shot of the
world, and he now holds it undisputed.
Hardy, it will be remembered, made his
first appearance in public at Broken Bow
some years ago, and while his work at
that time was marvellous, it is not to be
compared with the wonderful shooting
he is doing to-day. Captain Hardy will
give exhibitions from raised platform
where everybody can see him, during
the coming Fair, September l to 4.
Among his most wonderful feats will be
the breaking of 500 glass balls in fifteen
minutes, with his Winchester rifle and
ball cartridges. He performs 100 of the
most difficult feats in shooting.

The Fair management is fortunate
this year in having secured
BiIIu Binder, the COWbOu King, OF the West,
who will give thrilling exhibitions of his
wonderful skill in Bronco Busting each

rider, who is well known throughout the
cowboy districts of the West, and is the
acknowledged king of them all. He will
ride any wild or outlaw horse, big or lit
tie, old or young, brought on the
grounds. Several "hot ones" are already
secured, and we want more. Those who
know of horses that have never been
conquered will confer favor on the
management and the crowd by bringing
them in. Billy Binder will ride them
and do it gracefully. Any rider wishing
to enter contest with Binder will be
accommoda ted.
