Every day strangers are heard to

there was strike here they expected
TO and things dull. But when they
see the pack train loading out for Orc
Elmo every morning. and the four and
SIX horse teams bound for the noun

In loaded with fruit and honey and
vegetables and grain and hay, and
when they see the drill pounding away
at the oil well and hear of the great
strikes being made up in the hills. and
see the smoke rising from the smelt-

great town. They all say it, and it is
the truth.
The demand for good ranch lands
continues strong and at prices in ad.
vance of anything ever before known
10 the history OF Colorado. There is
nothing at all strange or phenomenal
in this mere fact when we consider
the Unprecedented prosperity of Colo
RADIO farmers during the last fom
years. Hundreds of men who few
years ago drove to western Colorado
and whose entire worldly possessions
amounted in value to but a few hun
dred dollars are now the possessors OF
fine ranches with cash values ranging
from $4,000 to 100000 and personal
property equally ms valuable. There
is scarcely any other country In the
world where such a condition exists
md yet the business OF farming in
this section is by no means overdone.
There are yet many opportunities for
thrift and intelligence in this line.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The an
nouncement is made that several OPP
erations performed by DR.. Lorenz, the
noted Austrian surgeon, who aston
ished Americans by his bloodless OPP
erations. turned out disastrously. One
of his cases, II is said, resulted fatal
ly. The plaster casts of the little
victims of hip disease that he treated
are now being removed, and the re
suits of his work are becoming known.
Out OF eight cases in the hospital
FOR ruptured crippled. gangrenous con
ditions. it is said. were found in four
cases. In two cases the little pa
tents leg had to be amputated, and
one died after the operation In the
third case the advisability of amputa-
ting is being considered, the condi-
tons necessitating the operation being
present. In the fourth case the Lor-
amputation is likely.
DIR. Homer Gibney admitted that
these reports are true. as stated, but
said many more operations have been
performed al the hospital-he did not
remember how many. He said he did
not consider the failure in the cases

is not worthy of the praise II has re-

SECOND DAYS WORK
 OF VISITING LADIES
THE REPORTS FROM THE MISSION ARY DELEGATES ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGING AND BEsPEAk A GROWING INTEREST.

The woman's Foreign Missionary So- o'clock yesterday morning at the First Methodist church, when the reports from each district were read.
 Without a single exception every dis trict reported satisfactory progress, both spiritually and financially a decided in- crease being shown over the proceeding year The reading of the documents con- stunned the morning and evening session.
 In the afternoon Mrs. W. B. Dickerson Sixth avenue. It was a delightful affair and attended by the sixty delegates and a large number of the ladies of the church. Among the distinguished visitors was Mrs M. D. Wightman of Charleston. s. C., widow of the late Bishop Wight man. Mrs. Wightman is the president of the Women's Board of Foreign Missions.
 The night meeting consisted of short entertainment by the Juvenile Missionary Society and an address on mission work by the Rev. J. D. Simpson.
 The songs, solos and recitations of the little ones were highly appreciated the duet of little Alma and Eleanor Messer being specially commented upon. The address of Mir. Simpson was highly en- tertaining and helpful. The influence Of the gospel upon the nations of the earth was his theme. He compared the moral conditions which prevailed before and for years after the birth of Christ to the ex- isting ideals of today. He touchingly referred to the missionary work in China, Japan and Mexico, laying great stress upon the good work the society had &C., complished in those places, eulogizing the workers in far distant lands. inferring they were laying up for themselves a crown in the realms of perpetual joy.
 Altogether Mir. Simpsons effort was con- sidered an inspiring one to be stored in the memory of those who heard 1t.
 At o'clock this afternoon there will be memorial services at the grave of the late Mrs. r. T. J. Brandon, who for years was the corresponding secretary of the conference society.

PRESIDENT SPENCER AND
 PARTY WELL IMPRESSED
BISHOP C. M. BECKWITH
 CONSENTS TO MR. EWING

The Rev. Quincy Ewing of Greenville, Miss. reetor-elect of the Church of the Advent will soon take charge of this parish
 The Right Rev. C. NJ Beckwith. protes- tant Episcopal bishop of Alabama, has been opposed to MT. Ewing coming to this diocese. But the bishop met the vestry of the church last night and after full dis cussion the vestry and the bishop reached an agreement which will result in the rector-eleet being installed. The meeting was held in the rectory Of the Church of the Advent and lasted several hours. fae session was executive and no report of the discussion was given out. At midnight Bishop Beckwfth said the only statement I will make for publication Is this:
 "The meeting was satisfactory, both to the bishop and the vestry." A vestryman said: The only statement I feel at liber- ty to make is that the meeting resulted satisfactorily to all parties concerned. MT Ewing will be the rector of the Church of the Advent"

STATE FAIR WILL HAVE
 BIG ATTRACTIONS TODAY

ham from Anniston yesterday about noon and was met at the train by the Rev. pr. Beard. He is the guest of the Rev. J. A. Van Hoose. There has been much talk and good deal published in the papers about friction between the vestry and the bishop over MT. Ewing. The Church of the Advent had called MT. Ewing to be its rector and was greatly troubled to learn that the bishop was opposed to the clergyman of It's choice.
 It was stated that Bishop Beckwith was not satisfied with Ewlng's action in performing the marriage ceremony for a couple. when the bridegroom had wife living. It was also hinted that the bishop did not like some of MT. Ewlngs broad church views. This, however, was never brought out in any of the interviews with members of the Church of the Advent
 Now that the trouble has been composed there will be a feeling of rejoicing on the part of members of the Advent, as MT. Ewing when he conducted the ser vices and preached here few Sundays ago, made a splendid impression on the congregation.

SHARP COMPETITION
 IN IRON MARKET Southern Furnace Assn is Now
 Practically Dissolved PRICES OF PIG METAL CUT Notwithstanding Cut, the Sales Con tinue to Be Limited-Alabama Con- soIidated, Sloss-Sheffeld and
 Lacey-Buek Out of Assn.
PRICES OF PIG METAL CUT

The association of the southern furnace men has been practically broken up The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company and the Lacey Buck Iron company have withdrawn from It. The reason for their action is understood to be the failure of one of the companies In the association to stick up to the agree ment reached two weeks ago to maintain to sell at such prices that they can com mand and choose to take. There is a lively competition among the iron makers but sales continue to be made on a limited scale. No. ? foundry Is generally quoted at from s105O to $10.75.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 The pig iron market during the past week has been quite active and a consid- erable tonnage of the lower grades of southern iron has been disposed of
 It Is reported that one important con- obhAiii6 lHttItbl 6ldHuS Itduy lu dDSOfD a large amount of mill grades provided a specially low price is named but it's Ideas are too radical to be met by those who have confidence In iron holding at about it's present value.
 One of the consultations in the central west manufacturing farmers implements reports an exceedingly active business, both at home and abroad, and there is apparently no reason why farmers should restrict purchases for the coming year.
 In other lines numerous foundries are complaining about dull business and 1t is apparent that the trade is halting, think ing that the bottom has not yet been reached
 In northern irons there is practically no change to report either in prices or de- mand.
 The output of pig iron during Septemebr showed that the proposed curtailment is needed. The number of furnaces in blast October 1st was less than on Septem- Der 1st, but stocks were increased. It is believed that curtailment will begin to show its effect later in this month and at an increasing ratio in November and De- ceu1ber

Barnum and Bailey

Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth began it's southern tour at Louis- vile last Friday and Saturday. It was at Knoxville Monday, Chattanooga Tues- day. Nashville Wednesday and Thursday and is now in Memphis. So far 1t has had a turn away business at every per formance, and when it is remembered that it's seating capacity is double it's capacity the last time it was through the south immediately before starting upon its five years tour of Europe. it may be seen that turn away business now means something. It is so large that many of the railroads have refused to attempt to handle 1t, notable among them being the Louisville and Nashville.
 Despite it's size and proportionate ex- pense it is charging only 50 cents admis- sion with a seat. or no more than the price of the smallest shows that travel through the country. It Is quite safe to predict that the immense capacity of It's tents will be exhausted on next Saturday,
 October 24 when it exhibits for only one dav in Birmingham.
