MOVING PICTURES
We're Taken of Potato Diggers
Here.

This part of Colorado. with others,
is to be advertised this winter as it
never was before - -. The moving pic
ture is the method to be employed.
Thomas d. Parker, secretary OF the
Denver Real Estate Exchange and
manager of the Colorado Press Bureau
of Information, was in the city last
week and stirred up the business men
to some enthusiasm on the subject.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bnckwaller, one
OF the best known moving picture
photographers in the country, came
up from Denver and took view OF
a potato field with diggers and pick
ers in full operation. The film upon
which this picture was taken is I47
feet long and when thrown upon the
screen will last long enough to enable
spectators to take in every detail.
The picture was taken on the A. l..
Mumper farm north Of Greeley. - s--.
The plan Of the press bureau is to
send lecturer on the road with
moving and regular stereorticon
views, throughout the east, working
principally through Y, M. G. "A. and
church societies. A large amount OF
literature descriptive of different Sec
tions of Colorado and its resources
will also be carried for distribution
at these entertainments. The potato
digging scene taken here will prob
ably be the only scene OF the kind 10
be shown on the screen in motion,
but there will be several other views
illustrating irrigation. - -. -
The Poudre valley was a little slow
in entering the procession uand some
other sections of the state will per-
haps be better represented, but it is
possible that by another year much
better collection of pictures from
here will be secured The Denver
Real Estate Exchange is body
organized to advertise the entire
state and no particular section, and
much good to the state is expected
from the advertising that will be
given through this body and the press
bureau

scribner's Magazine for March.

The high authority of the series on the Government of the United States now appearing in Scribner's Magazine, is again shown in the March number by the article on ''The Supreme Court of the United States,' by Hon. David J. Brew CT. Associate Justice. In the latter part of his article Judge Brewer looks ahead to the four classes of cases upon which the Court will have to make future inn portant decisions. They are those grow ing out of the relations of labor and cap ital the efforts to increase and concen- trate the power of the nation; the re- lations of the nation with the new colo nies; and finally the intricate questions arising from the place which the United States Is taking among the nations of the world.
 The charm of Madame Waddington's letters has attracted a large circle of readers, and it will find in her account of the coronation of Czar Alexander III. her vivid descriptive powers displayed at their best.
 The instant favorable reception given to John Foxs serial, The Little Shep- herd of Kingdom Come" has been marked by a flood of personal letters to the au- thor and by enthusiastic praise in the press.

W. E. CAMPBELL HURT
BANK OFFICIAL INJURED BY AN
 EXPLOSION.
Gas in Vault Ignited by Lighted Match and Young Man Was Painfully Burned-No Prop
 erty Damaged.

By an explosion of escaped gas in the vault of the Farley National Bank, Will liam E. Campbell, paying teller, was se- riously burned yesterday morning at o'clock.
 Attending surgeons indicate that while the wounds are extremely painful no serious results are expected. MT. Camp bell is at his home on Highland Avenue. The young paying teller, following his usual custom, entered the money vault at g o'clock yesterday to secure cash to use on his desk during the day. Part of the money was secured and MT. Campbell turned from the vault In few minutes he returned, opened the door and before entering struck a match to light his pipe.
 Simultaneous with his action, an ex- plosion was heard from the vault. caus- ing the entire building to tremble. MT. Campbell was blown backward fl Iom the vault.
 Fellow employees rushed to his assist ance and the wounded man was taken to an adjacent drug store where surgeons attended him and dressed his wounds
 The face, hands and forearms of MT. Campbell were badly burned and his clothing was ruined.
 After careful investigation 1t proved that although the eyebrows had been burned the eyes of MT. Campbell were | only temporarily injured. The building and the valuable docu- ments in the vault were not damaged. | Wednesday plumbers inspected the gas fixtures of the bank and it is the theory of some that a gas jet in the vault was | left open by them. The jet. on investi-
 gation after the explosion. was found tc 1 be open. | Many friends of MT. Campbell visited
 his home yesterday to inquire of his con | dition.

It seems a somewhat ungallant sug- gestion, but perhaps the custom which decrees that the Russian bridegroom elect must send his sweetheart present every day no matter whether the en- gagement last for ten weeks or ten years, may have something to do with this an- omalous state of affairs.
 The regularly recognized length of a Siamese engagement is exactly one month. For the bride to ask for an ex- tension beyond that limit is held to savor of reprehensible prudery. Moreover, in Siam. old maids are unknown, as all girls marry. - The reason for this is probably to be found in the low estimation in which un- married women are held. They are not merely looked down upon. They are abso- lutely of no account whatever. Among the Kolarians of Bengal the engagement Is matter of minutes only. A lad sees the lass of his choice carry ing a full pitcher from the we'll. He steals behind her as she trots along, and lets fly an arrow between the crock and the arm that holds 1t.
 If the lass thinks i'll of the lads suit she continues her journey and takes no notice; but If, on the other hand, she be favorably disposed when she reaches tlo dIJOW, SHc ud4Htlly IdiScS IL uCbWSoH her great and second toes, and offers 1t with low bow to her husband-as he is from that moment.
 On the other hand, in no country in the world are such abnormally long court ships the rule as in Bohemia.
 Among the peasantry, especially, en- agreements lasting fifteen and even twen- ty years are so common as to call for no remark whatever
 Occasionally this national eccentricity is carried to the verge of tragedy; as, for instance. in a case reported the other day from Oberpolitz, and which involved what is almost certainly the very long, est courtship on record
 The names of the wooer and wooed | were. respectively, Franz Rosner and | Anna Renner, and they had been courting continuously for seventy-five years, but had repeatedly deferred the bridal day At last Franz became fatally i'll, and | was married on his deathbed on the eve of his tooth birthday, the age of the bride and widow being 99.

Morgan and Hit.

Washington correspondents to North ern newspapers have recently written much about the unusual resemblance of Congressman Hit of Illinois to Senator Morgan of Alabama
 Congressman Hit is chairman Of the House Committee on Foreign Relations, and has been deeply interested in the HAnama Canal matter. This latter fact has brought him into close association with Senator Morgan and they are fre- qnently seen conversing on the floor of the Senate which of course adds to the perplexity of the situation.
 It is said that at times their closest colleagues have to look twice to distin- guish them.
 A recent dispatch says that 1t has been suggested to Senator Morgan to substi- tute Mir. Hit occasionally when he is tired in the filibuster against the Pana-
