EOTI. AND TOTE EAnLE.

Doubtless you have done talking enough during the last few days about the political situation" Talk no more. but go forth bright and early to the polls and vote as you have talked. Especially should Republicans take pains to vote to-day. The Democrats say they are united, and that in their union there is strength. They had small band out last night. and they say they are going to have a big band out to-day. They are more cocl1y than they have been in long time. and they need to have the starch taken out of them. In order to do that all the Republican votes are needed.
 And don't forget to vote early The early voter is as valuable to the party workers as the early worm is to the bird. They know that he is where he will do the most good, and will not need any further attention.

TWO OBLIGING MEN.
Each Was the Victim in a Street Car
 Fare Transaction.

Each Was the Nlctlm Ill street Car Fare Transaction. It was in Boston street car When the car stopped at crossing, a lady got up and went to the door. As she rose there was the chink of a coin on the floor but before it occurred to any one to stop her she was out of the car and across the street. Two ladies who had sat next to her looked with anxious indifference on the floor. One of them leaned slightly forward, but said noth- ing. Just as the conductor was reach ing for the bell rope young man spied the coin and dashed out of the car. He caught the lady who had left the ear, handed her the coin, ran back, caught the step of the car as the motors began to sing in crescendo and sat down breathless. One of the two ladies op- posite him leaned forward and said coldly, Young man, what did you do with the nickel dropped?" The pas sengers Uttered. An old man at the other end of the car turned to his neighbor That reminds me-" he said. "of something that happened to my wife years ago.
 Tt was before the days of conduc- tors, when we used to drop our nickels into slot, and they ran down groove to the box behind the drlved.
 My wife had started out with a lit- tie change and one of those trouble some five dollar gold pieces which used to be more commonly in circulation than they are now. Her eyes were not good, and so she was nervous about her gold piece and had it on her mind all the way down town.
 When she took car for hime, she met a friend and grew interested In conversation with her. She put her coin in the slot absent-mindedly. The driver turned as it struck the box. You remember the coin fell into a. glass compartment first, and then the driver pushed a lever which sent it into the strong box below.
 "As my wife heard the click of the piece She looked in her purse. Sure enough, 1t was gone. She went for ward and spoke to the driver. He said he hadn't looked very carefully, but he thought there were only three nickels in the glass receptacle when he pushed the lever.
 My wife insisted The driver said if she would ride to the end of the line the cashier at the station would open the box. This meant journey of two miles beyond our street, and my wife was in a hurry.
 An old gentleman who sat by the door said he was going to the end of the line and offered to give her four

BIGGER THAN NIAGARA.

It. is rather humiliating to have to admit that there is anything bigger anywhere than the big things of this country, but it is boldly asserted, and figures are given in support of the as- sertion that the industrial value of the Victoria falls of the river Zambesi, in South Africa, is greater than that of our own Niagara falls. The height of the Victoria falls is 40 feet, against Niagara's 160 feet: their width one mile, against .Niagaras half-mie. A horsepower of some 3O,0OO,OO goes to waste at the Victoria falls, while Ni- agara affords about 100000. The power of the African river is to be utilized for the working of rich min eral deposits in the vicinity as soon as reached by the railroad now under construction. A steel bridge of five hundred feet span will cross the gorge below the falls. A suggested plan for developing the falls is to carry the water through eight-foot fumes down into the gorge below the second turn, and there discharge through turbines, resembling somewhat the plan for the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company.
 Africa is a coming country, and when it arrives it may astonish the world in some ways as much as the United States now astonishes the world in all ways. Young men who do not feel like going west or south in this country might find profit or an early and quiet grave by going to Africa.

It would be three hundred miles long. cost 800, ,OO0, 900 francs, and save 1900 miles for ve-sels going from the Atlantic to the Mediter- ranean. It is computed that the canal would pay 10 per cent.

An officer of the Quebec government says that the number of French people in Quebec at the time of the surrender to the British was 65,OOO; at present the number is approximately 2500,OOO. In the meantime there have been no &C., sessions worth noticing by immigra- tion from France. This is the way he accounts for the remarkable fecundity of the French people; The government offered free grant Of one hundred acres for every child born in family after twelve had been born, the result being that families of twenty to twen- ty+four children are quite common in the Province.

Each garment is hung individu- ally to preserve it's shape and incased in slip cover to pre- vent contact.

It's hard to kill man until his time comes. Thomas Lawrence, a Pettis county, Missouri, farmer, was knocked twenty feet by a train year ago and escaped injury. Last August he was struck by lightning and recovered. Five months ago he fell twenty feet from barn roof and was not hurt. Last week he stumbled over a two-months-old pup and in falling broke his neck.

Brooklyn is pointing with pride. to the fact that in 1902 more than forty miles of modern pavements were put under contract there, while the total of the previous four years was less than thirty-eight, and the average price a square yard for asphalt paving was reduced from $2.S3 in 1901 to $1.79 in the year following. Brooklyn now has 45S miles of paved streets, a larger humber than the Borough of Manhattan includes, and forty-seven miles of cob- b1estone roadways in Kings County were relaid in 1902.

A Philadelphia baker is authority for the assertion that the latest fad of dys- peptics is bread made with sea water, instead of fresh water. Tt has saltier taste," he says, 'than we are accustom- ed to, but it is very palatable. In fact, he who likes salty things is apt to like it better than the other kind of bread. A physician asked me about three months ago to make some of this bread for his patients. At first I made six leaves day, but now I make thirty. My sea water comes up to me from At lantic City three times a week. The dyspeptics who buy the bread say it is the only kind they can eat fresh with out discomfort

That Sunnyside School.

Over 10 the Sunnyside school dis
trict, southwest Of Elwell, they are
building new s3,O pressed brick
school house, and to that hangs a
tale. Up to the time OF closing
school for the summer vacation, for
many years school had been held In
an old rickety frame building that
was 10 danger Of blowing down with
every sharp gust Of wind. While 1T
was one Of the richest districts In the
countv, most Of the heaviest tax
payers we're either bachelors or had
no children, so took but little inter-
est in the CRY for better school ac-
commodations. Finally a petition
was started for meeting to vote
on a bond issue. The call was made
and Superintendent Shook was sent
for to attend the meeting. Only
about dozen taxpayers came and
the meeting was about to break up
without any action being taken, 1T
being supposed that under the law 1t
would be necessary to have twenty
persons present In order to make the
vote on bonds legal. When 1t was
learned that all that was necessary
was to have twenty names signed to
the petition for a meeting, the dozen
went ahead and voted $1,000 bonds.
When the news OF the action Of the
meeting spread, there were some
pretty mad taxpayers in that yicin-
ity, because large number OF them
had remained away from the meeting
under the impression that twenty
voters we're needed to make the vote
legal, and by staying away 1t would
not be possible to get that manv
present.

HOW'S THE WEATHER
Now a Never Ending Topic at
"Central."

Hereafter whenever a country lad,
or any other lad for that matter,
would like to hear the sweet accented
voice of central" in the Colorado
Bell Telephone office, he need never
be afraid of incurring displeasure by
inauiring how is the weather. BY a
new departure that went into effect
last "Wednesday morning the telephone
central, in addition to acting as fire
alarm, alarm clock for early risers,
information bureau about train tlme'
business directory, regular telephone
business, ETC.. is now furnishing
weather reports to its subscribers
from the O. S. weather bureau. The
telephone method has the advantage,
especially in rural districts, OF 1ur-
nishing the forecast from four to SIX
hours earlier than the mail service.
The service covers Colorado and New
Mexico, and the first day it was in
use 23s towns were served with the
report.
At the Greeley office when the re-
port comes In from Denver the..ranch
lines are given one long ring an
shortly after this the oper'tor an
nounces the forecast for the next
twenty -four hours. Before the SER
vice was instituted postal card was
sent out to each telephone subscriber
announcing the fact that by taking
up the receiver Immediately aiter
the long ring at about O'Clock IN
the morning the subscriber woulo
learn what the weather was to pe'
The scheme originated with Super
intendent of Traffic w. f. Cozad and
Assistant Superintendent w. F.
Brown OF the central office in Den
YER and is meeting with much taVot
among the farmers, a great many OF
whom are users of the telephone.
The extensive improvements ana
increase in capacity that have been
going in the Colorado Bell Telephone
system in this city for several weeks
is practically completed now, ana the
large force of men that has been al

The Price of Eggs.


The Colorado hen is In disiavor at
home. At time when coal was
high, Christmas coming on aud every
cent needed 70. other purposes. she
lays down work and allows P. d.
Armour and others who corner the
hen fruit market as soon as the
article becomes scarce, to come In
and run the market price up to 30
cents . dozen, wholesale. That will
mean that the man who likes eggs for
breakfast will have to pay at least
three cents piece for the eggs, and
then there is no telling how many
bad ones he may strike before q good
one is found, as the eggs have all
been packed for long time.
A few days ago grocers of Greeley
were notified that hereafter for some
time to come they would have to pay
thirty cents dozen for eggs. There
Is scarcely any local supply, 50 there
Is nothing to do but to pay the price.
1t Is not because of rack of hens in
the country that the local supply Is
so short. but 1t seems lack Of proper
inducements to her hiehness. From
tho outside 1t looks like strike In
sympathy with the coal miners.

STEALING HORSES
Young Men in Jail Charged With
Crime.

Frank Wilson, alias Day, and Ray
Spencer, each aged about q years
and both out on parole from the state
Ieformatorv at Buena Vista. are in
Jail here upon charge Of horse
stealing, and unless they can make
a much better showing than they
have 80 far, are likely to see several
years 10 the penitentiary. They we're
arrested In Denver Friday while try
ing to dispose Of team at the horse
market. Spencer is said to have con-
fessed to the Denver officers that the
team was stolen near Greeley the day
before. The sheritf's Office here was
communicated with and it was not
until Sunday evening that IL was
really learned whose team it was tnat
had been taken as none had been re-
ported stolen. The team belonged
to John Vose of the Big Thompson
country.
At almost the same time that it
was learned whom the first team be-
longed to. C. B. Kelsey Of Platteville
reported a team missing. This was
also found In Denver by the sheriff
of Adams county, and it was supposed
that Wilson and Spencer had also
driven these to Denver. Both teams
were in the pasture when taken and
for that reason their absence had not
been discovered before.
Undersheritf Fred Williams went
to Denver Sunday evening and
brought back Spencer and Wilson.
