MORE ON THE IN.
SURANCE QUESTION.

Editor Herald: I would, if you
allow these lines to enter the columns
OF your most valuable paper, like to
discuss and defend myself against an
article written and signed by Theo.
Thie!en. an insurance agent of the
Continental Insurance company, in
which he makes several charges
against me. the undersigned, in an
swer to 9 letter recently published in
the Herald and Transcript in which
tried to show that the Pierz Farmers
Fire Insurance company paid IS cents
per bushel for wheat that had been
destroyed by fire. and not 60 cents as
was reported by the reporter Of the
Transcript from Pierz. That state
ment again being answered in the
Pierz news to the Transcript. I had
though such to be the end Of It. But
there appears in the Transcript of
Nov. 4th an aftermath of he an
swer, charging me with shortage of
memory, intentional misrepresenta-
lions, and employing misleading ad-
vertisements in the local papers.
The writer. Mr.. Theilen, claims
that my mind is short in not remen-
bering the assistance and advice he
rendered us when we organized the
insurance company here, that then
and there In my presence, he assisted
and advised ue.
most emphatically say I employed
him only in his capacity as a notary
public by his Acknowledgement to the
articles Of Incorporation, and if he
can point me out one of the respect
able members of the company that
helped me organize at the time by
their signatures to the article of in
corporation, who will truthful say,
that Thielen otherwise helped organ
lie, assist or advise us in the under
taking ana bylaws Of the company,
then and under such proof. I will try
to correct my shortage of memory by
apologizing to the man in whomI have
done wrong.
Furthermore, the Continental agert
makes notice Of an argument I had
with the Continental special agent,
and Of an adjustment of a certain AS
loss. To that answer--ask the opin-
ion of the men that were present at
the time as to who got the worst Of it?
Further, the Continental agent
accuses me Of saying in the ad. Of the
Pierz Farmers Fire Insurance Co, that
$500 worth of insurance would cost
only ST. 20 for Eve years. Let me say
right here, who am I dealing with
here that would correct nv statement?
Does the Continental agent think one
sentence of the advertisement would
explain the whole meaning of what I

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.

Cod Liver Oil at its best,

ARRESTS CAUSE
PANIC AT PANAMA

Panama, Colombia, July 26.-Not
since the days of the last revolution
when an attack upon the city by the
Liberals was feared. has there been
such a panic in Panama as occurred
last night. Shortly after 9 O'Clock the
office of Ell Lapiz, the organ of the Lib
eral party on the isthums. was visited
by officers OF the general staff OF the
army, who destroyed yesterdays edi-
tion of the newspaper. One of the di-
rector was slightly wounded. but
manrg ged to escape.
The news spread rapidly. In the San
ta Anas neighborhood. where most of
the Liberals reside. sentiment rose to
a high pitch and few of the promi-
nent people counselled retaliation.
They took no action, however.
The next event came like bomb
shell. A company of soldiers. appar-
entity under the orders of General
Vasquez Cobos, commander of the ma
tional forces. surrounded the residence
of Governor Nuts. but the governor
and his wife. who is an American wom-
an, having been warned few min
utes before the arrival of the troops,
succeeded in escaping.
General Huertas. commander of the
battalion of Colombia, when he learned
of the Ell Lapiz Incident. repaired to
headquarters, where he found General
Cobos. According to current reports,
the latter ordered General Huertas to
remain in quarters
Exactly what has taken place is un-
known, but 1t is said that DIR. Aristides
Arizona. secretary of the government:
Fernandino Arrange. chief of police, and
Etram Navin. a member of the depart
ment superior tribunal of justice. are
under arrest. the last named for trying
to argue with General Cobos on the le-
gality of his action.

Upholds Flat Tax Decision.

In the case of the United States Re-
duction and Refining Company against
Charles Crouter, former State Auditor.
Judge Carpenter in the District Court
at Denver July Goth. gave Judgment
to the plaintiff for $10,344.41. In rem
dering his decision Judge Carpenter
stated that he agreed with the opinion
handed down by Judge Dixon. who
held that the revenue act of 1901 was
invalid.
There were two questions involved
in the suit, he said. One that of the
constitutionality of the act. and the
other as to whether payments of fiat
taxes made by the plaintiffs were vol
untary. He had examined the matter
carefully and found that he must agree
with the ruling of Judge Dixon. The
plaintiff corporation. with number of
others interested in the action will re-
ceive back S10.3i4 of fiat tax which
they paid under protest.
In regard to the case Attorney Cen
eral Miller stated that the people of the
state would not appeal the case. THAT
act of 1901 said Mr.. Miller. has been
decided unconstitutional often enough
and ! do not think that it would do us
any good to keep appealing this case,
and We will not, therefore. do anything
further with the case. The inheritance
taxes which accrued under the working
of the act of 1901 cannot be collected,
for the act was invalid and that is all
there is to it."

COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY

The State Land Board has decided
that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany must obey the Instructions or
Mineral Superintendent Cowdy or lose
the famous Forbes coal mine. This
mine which is near Trinidad, Is or al
most incalculable value to this COM
pany, for It furnishes practically all OF
the coal used in the company's fur-
naces in Pueblo, and the cancellation
of this lease would cause the plant
there to suspend business perhaps Tor
months The trouble arose over a ques-
tion of the best way of mining. The
company wished to leave large
amounts OF coal in the various drifts
to serve as braces. Mr.. Cowdy insisted
that this coal be removed and Its place
taken by wooden uprights. The COM
pany refused to do this and the order
issued by the land board is the out
come.
State Engineer Carpenter says that
there have been some reservoirs in the
state too full for the safety of the peo-
pie in their vicinity. This was espe-
cially so in the Poudre valley. where
two reservoirs were filled much above
the safety mark. II. l.. Reid was sent
to investigate the matter. He has made
his report to the Office and there Is no
longer any danger anticipated from
this source. Terry's lake. at Fort Col
Inns, was another lake which was not
considered safe. and while no one In
the State Engineers office would say
that the lake was unsafe. still 1t was
stated that the lake had not been IN
spected for several years and 1t might
not be in good shape. Professor Car
penter proposes to examine all OF the
dams and reservoirs in the state, but
he states that he is handicapped be-
cause of the lack of funds.
