FUN AT THE LAKES.

Mesa Lake. July 14th.
Editor Sentinel:
There area goodly number of in
habitants here for their annual sum
mer outing. Some of the old timers
are among the number, while there
is considerable number of new peo.
pie, who are taking their first outing.
Alexander lake is the mecca of
quite a number of Grand Junction
people this year.
Forest Range Rider. B. F. Jay, is
now located in his summer camp
here. He occupies the cabin owned
by him for the past several years.
The big Mesa Lake reservoir and the
lake itself are full of water. too much
water for good fishing. No water of
any consequence has been used from
the reserve water from the lake this
year, but probably will be. after the
hay harvest in the valley.
The mosquito pest here this year is
simply awful. They, (the mosquitos)
are staying later this year than ever
before
The season is late in the hills this
year, owing to the late spring and so
much snow in the mountains.
The past two weeks have been very
busy ones with the Plateau farmers
and ranchmen. They are cutting and
stacking their first crop of alfalfa, the
largest in the valley for many years.
Haying hands are very scarce and
greatly in demand. despite the mod
ern means of cutting. hauling and
stacking hay.
There will be plenty of wat er in the
Plateau this year for irrigation. no
matter how scarce the rainfall may
be.
Silmon Smith. son of DR.. F. R.
Smith, Dwight Newton, son of A. @.
Newton and party are here enjoying
an extened outing. They all look
remarkably well and doing all in their
power to get all the pleasure out of
an outing spent in the mountains,
Frank Berger. wife and sister of
Paliasdes. ACCOMPANIED by Miss Madip
Van Buren,, are here, arriving Monday
noon.

Civilization has not operated to curb
it, for here in America, under the
finest form of government yet evolved,
after nineteen centuries of Christian
ty. we have mob. after mob surprising
each other in the exquisite torture
they infiict ON their victims. 1t is
almost wholly problem in human
nature. and the problem will be found
a difficult one to solve.
There can be no doubt but that the
force of example has much to do with
it. Men are naturally initiative and
naturally anxious to surpass each
other. A crime is committed and a
man cries: Lets lynch him ~ Gut

mences. To change mem S actions one
must change mems natures, and the
man who will bring about that change
will be ''greater than he who taketh
city"
But the question is one to make
American people think. For weeks
the newspapers have carried accounts
of lynchings, with all the horrible
tortures the ingenuity of the lynchers
could suggest, from all parts of the
country. 1t is in the main one phase
of the growing and menacing race
question-for cases where white men
have been tortured are almost un-
known.
Booker Washington saws Educate
the negro To make his contention
good he must show that education
will do for the negro what it has not
done for the white man, and the solu-
tion is not yet in sight.
We may reason, theorize, speculate,
but the grim question remains. What
can we do about it? We can enact
laws to punish as murderers men who

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
LYNCHING AND MURDER.

The statement by Associate Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court that every man who partici-
pates in the lynching or the burning
of IA negro is murderer. pure and
slmple," is strong one, but with
certain qualifications it is statement
which will receive the hearty endorse
ment of all friends of law and decency.
There are cases where community
is SO wrought up by an atrocious
conditions ne quiet and law abiding
demand speedy retribution and cannot
be restrained.
This feeling is, IN a measure. nat
ural because there are certain crimes
which when they are brought right
home to men seem to cry for prompt
and terrible action. When mob
takes the perpetrator of a crime and
executes him expeditiously without
torture, there are not lacking good
citizens who condone the deed. But
when men, robbed of their reason by
british passions. inflict upon human
being-no matter how vile a wretch
than those of the darkest ages, twen-
tieth century civilization stands
aghast. and we who are not so situat-
ed as to share the horror of the deed
which led to the infiiction of the aw-
full penalty, wonder that men who
lived all their lives in an enlightened
Christian country can descend to such
depths of utter savagery.
If Justice Brewer means his state
ment to apply to the mobs that torture
victims. no true American will take
issue with him. If the people of any
community must lynch man, let
them at least not mutilate him, not
burn him nor drive tacks and knife
blades into his living, auivering flesh.
There can be absolutely no defense for
such fiendish cruelty. No crime
known to man justifies such barbarous
treatment of a human being.
Justice Brewer says there will come
reaction against mob lynchings
which will result in legislation or a

THE UNISON WEED.
Probably a Legacy 20 Us From south
America or Asia.

Probably "A Legacy 20 Us From south
America or Asia.
Once upon time the name Of James
town must have been very sharply
shortened. Within the memory of
many people now living James was
pronounced "Jeems;" in fact, we be-
lieye that tha$ was the accepted pro-
nunciation of our Vlrginian forefa-
theirs. But "Jim" must have been the
dimlnutive of "Jeems," as well as Of
James; at least we Judge so because
what is popularity known as ''the jim
son weed" really is the jamestown
weed.
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that this contraction was made jeer-
ingly or sneeringly. More probably it
grew into use LESS So" and we find
intelligent Americans to whom It has
never occurred that there is any con-
nection whatever between jamestown
and Jimson. All the same. the au-
thorities say that "Jlmson" is "short"
for the name Of the place where the
English made their first permanent set
tlement in what is now the United
States and where the Old Dom, 10n's
first capital was located.
The jimson weed, however, is not
native plant, but probably came to us
from South America or Asia. II is a
question how 1t got to jamestown, but
we believe it is conceded that It is not
indigenous TO Virginia. If 1t was de-
liberately and designedly imported, It
must have been because OF its medic
inal value; certainly not for It's odor,
which is vile; certainly not for its fiow-
ers and leaves. because they do not
compare in beauty with those of scores
Of native plants. And, while this weed
is now recognized as having some me-
dlcinal value, it may not have had that
reputation ''then" with Europeans. The
Chinese, however, use II to some ex-
tent incidentally and may have done
so from time immemorlal, that country
being little given to the acceptance OF
new ideas or new remedies.-Richmond

The Russian Empress Anne built a
great palace Of ice and on occasions
when the fancy seized her punished
several of her dainty courtiers by com
pelling them to pass the night in this
great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul, ancestor OF the pres
ent emperor Of Russia, constructed a
room formed entirely of huge mirrors,
where he spent hours walking to and
fro In full uniform-a singular taste
for the ugliest man in Russia.
One Of the native princes Of Java
cooled his palace by making stream
fall in a cascade over IT, gateway, and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed
beside his dinner table a life size fig

officer, the roar of the beast and the

CURE FOR HlccoueHs.
simple Scientific Remedy THAT Gives
Immediate Relief.


An attack OF hiccoughs brings its vic
tim less sympathy perhaps than almost
any other aiment the main reason be-
Ing that, except in very rare cases, il
is not attended with fatal results and
that In most cases it attacks otherwise
healthy persons. Still, it is one Of the
most annoying and most obstinate Of
difficulties. While the effort to cure it
IS being inade it generally disappears,
yet it resists the most vigorous effort
Of the will to control its vagaries
A hiccough Is a quick. involuntary,
inspiratory movement Of the dia-
phragm, brought suddenly TO a stop
by an involuntary closing OF the glot-
tbs. The muscles that control these
two portions of the human anatomy
are incessant workers. They wait on
every breath without being guided by
the will and even work while we sleep
While they do their duty life passes,
tranquil, calm and pacific, but II from
any cause n disturbing element enters
into their baillwick they rebel, are be-
yond the control OF the Will and, hav-
ing no guide, as It were, run away and,
like any ranaway, have no care for the
damage done. The effort to remove
the disturber is the cause Of the hic-
cough. and the following method Of
treatment arrests these muscles in their
wild escapade. brings them back to
their duties, and. like the patient serv-
ants they are, they resume their work
and life becomes as placid as before:
First expel all the air from your
lungs very, very quickly The portion
of the body they attend to is. as It
were, collapsed, and now commences
the next and concluding part of the
cure.
Second, commence to ill your lungs
with air, but do so very slowly, but
steadily. Fucker your mouth, and II
possible leave an opening Of your lips
no larger than a pin. and through this
inhale the air. Fill your lungs, raise
your arms and throw out your chest,
and when you are full these muscles
resume their regular duties and the
hiccoughs are gone.--Brooklyn Eagle.
