ladies OF the old Library Associa-
ton is Mrs. w. II. Greenwood,
now OF Vermont, whose gift of
Ave hundred dollars made it cas-
ier for us to buy the lot on Main
street where the library stood so
long. We wish she might see
how her gift has grown and the
pleasure it is still giving to the
people of the town which was her
home SO long ago.
No record OF the women VINO
have gone from Canon could be
considered at all complete with
out the name of Mrs. ]. F. Camp
bell now Of Canton, Ohio. She it
is to whom the library owes its
thanks for its beginning. She
needs nothing that I can say, as
her place in Canon is secure.
Mrs. w. w. Bigelow is one
who. although her home was in
Chicago. did much in her own qui-
ct way for the town of her adop-
ton.
Mrs. M. N. Megrue and Mrs. E
T. Alling, were also names which
twenty years ago were identified
with all that was helpful.
Among those who have gone
more recently are Mrs. A. c. Nc
MILAN, wife of a former pastor OF
the Presbyterian church and now
resident Of New York. Mrs. F.
L. Bartlett and Mrs. Henry Earle.
We miss them all but the only
thing we have space for is to say
that we wish they would return
to us. and II this is impossible
may our loss be their gain. Per
haps our most recent loss has
been in the case Of Mrs. Peabody
who went to take her place ~
first lady of the state. We who
have known her ali these years
know how well she will grace the
| position she holds and we wish
her long life and every pleasing. :

The women who have gone
from among us is broad subject
and an article on this topic might
easily be composed of a list OF
names only. But as this is hardly
what is wanted in this instance l
will mention few of the women
who, in the recent or more remote
past have graced our town by
their presence.
Among the first women whom
I ever knew in Canon were some
who were SO prominent in every
good work that their names come
to me at once with the thought Of
those old days.
Mrs. Thomas Macon Of Den
yer is one of those who made this
dull town endurable in that far
off time. Her energy in keeping
ID in her music in town where
he love of the music could have
)een the only incentive in only
me direction in which it showed
itself. No work of public interest
lacked her ready support.
When we speak of the musical
women of that time there arc
several whose names stand out in
bold relief.
Mrs. A. ]. Sampson. whose hus-
band was afterward attorney-gen-
eral of this state, lived here al
that time and ever holds place
in our memory as one of Colora-
dos sweetest singers Her voice,
rich contralto of great compass
and sweetness, can never be for
gotten by those who heard and
enjoyed it.
Mrs. ]. H. Workhiser, now Of
Denver, is another woman who
was interested in any and all good
work in those early days.
One woman whose sojourn
among Us was comparatively
short but who will ever be held
in grateful Remembrance By the

Among the many natural ad-
vantages of Canon City which
at no very distant date by the aid
of capital is destined to add large
ly to its fame as a health and
pleasure resort, are the Hot
Springs, located at the entrance
of the Royal Gorge. We have
been told by trappers and hunters
Of the early days of Colorado that
they have seen old bears and
their cubs basking in the sun and
wallowing in the mud and warm
waters of these springs. The In
dams also camped in great num-
bers upon the banks of the river
and rejuvinated their health and
vigor by the free use OF these
waters. The white man first be-
gan to utilize these waters in 1872
when DR.. ]. L. Prentiss, who To-
Gated in Canon CIV in the spring
of that year, had bath tub two
feet square and six feet long put
in under the bank of the river so
that the mineral water (having a

run in at one end and out at the
other. Hundreds of people took
free baths here. 1t became so
popular that in 1874 the Colorado
Coal and Iron company. who own
ed the land. built bath house
with ten tubs and placed DR.. J.
w. Dawson in charge. In 1875
MIR. and Mrs. !. P. King took
lease upon the property and for
years while Canon was the termi-
nus of the d. & r. G. R. R., and
during the Leadville boom had a
very profitable business, often
taking in from SIS to $50 per da,
for baths.
In 1886 a stock company was
organized under the name of the

thirty rooms was erected and con-

Stomach Worms in Sheep.

Stomach worms in sheep are enemies
that must be dealt with to prevent great
loss in the flock. The last year with
the abundance of moisture made favor
able conditions for the growth of this
twisted stomach worm and much loss is
attributed to it.
Referring to it A. W. Biting, of the
Indiana experiment station, says:
"The symptoms Of stomach worm dis =
ease are not very characteristic and
therefore do not admit Of close descrip-
ton. They are dullness, loss Of appe-
tite, increased thirst, diarrhoea may or
may not be present. a part may show
an accumulation of fluid between the
jaws, grinding Of the teeth there is a
stiffness Of the back and hind parts, aud
tagging behind the flock. In acute
cases there may be evidence Of pain, as
collie. eating unusual material and much
bleating. The majority liuger for a
week or two aud then die. Old sheep
are not much affected
1.-The parasite causing the disease lie
found in the fourth stomach. 1t is small,
being only about one-half inch in length
and threadlike. II lamb be killed
these worms may be seen to be pinkish
from the blood they have distracted
from the stomach wall. If lamb dies
and the stomach be not opened for
couple ef hours. the worms will be white
and being matted together resemble the
fiber of the food, The inexperienced
will probably fail to recognize them, al
though thousands may be present.
1.-THE treatment is as follows: Take
one part Of coal tar creosote and 100
parts of water and mix we'll. With
two-ounce hard rubber syringe having
q short bit of rubber tubing on the end,
administer one syringeful to each lamb.
Use care not to bold the head high or
to force the dose too rapidly, 80 as to
cause Strengthening. With such an ar
rangement a whole flock may be easily
treated. One to three treatments given
q few days apart may be necessary. 1t
Is also good policy to turn the lambs Oh
the regular pasture into the corn6eld
They will do little damage to the corn,
and in eating the lower blades aud grass
get food free from all contamination
Yarding and giving dry feed may also
be resor,ed to. The main object is to
get the sheep Of the infected pasture"

GEN. RANDOLPH'S IDEA.
Coast Artillery to Become Acquainted
With the Naval Vessels.

The Secretary of War has apporevd a
scheme proposed by General Randolph,
chief of artillery, the purpose of which is
to give artillerymen. stationed at coast for
tifications a better knowledge of the char
acteristics of warships, as well as to ac-
quaint them more generally with matters
nautical 1t is proposed among other
things, to provide the coast posts with a
set of international flags, and a flagstaff
with a yardarm from which they may be
displayed and signals exchanged with pass
ing naval and revenue vessels.
IF the pecuiarities of our fleet are not
we'll known to the coast artillery" said
General Randolph in forwarding his rec
concentrations. ut is not improbable that
friendly vessels approaching fort in thick
weather or after dark might be mistaken
for possible enemy, which would lead to
disastrous results"

APARTMENT HOUSE SOLD.
About 100000 Paid for Building in
Course Of Construction.

Mr.. T. F. Schneider has just completed
the sale of the Florence Court apartment
house. in course of construction at the
southwest corner of 18th and l. streets, op-
posite the Shuman and the Ethelhurst
apartment houses. The purchaser is Mrs
Mary Sherman. McCallun, daughter of the
late ex-senator John Sherman, and the con-
sideration is stated to be nearly $500, COO
The building will be completed in the fall
1t will be seven stories in height. Mr.. Nc
Callum has spent the past two years in
Switzerland as consul general, only recent

ily Finding the Sherman" apartment
house, which is owned by Mr.. T. F.
Schneider and himself, a good investment
he concluded after a careful consideration
of the plans of the new building which Mr.
Schneider had begun for himself, to pur-
chase 1t II it could be bought. A proposition
was therefore agreed upon and the deed
to the property passed today. Thus is an
other evidence Of the popularity of this
form of investment. 1t is only few days
since that the 'Farragut" was sold for
100000. The Farragut was also designed
by Mr.. T. F. Schneider.

II regret to inform the department Of a

ed 1t does not appear that this accident
was caused by the bursting of the shell,

FOUND 80 SKELETONS
IN THE HULK OF REINA CHRIS
TINA.
Gruesome Relics Of the Battle Of
Manila Bay Brought Up
by Wreckers.

MANILA, April 13.-The warship Reina
Christina, flagship of Admiral Montojo.
which was sunk by Admiral Dewey In
Manila bay, was ffoated and beached yes
terday. The skeletons of about eighty Of
her crew were found in the hulk One
skeleton evidently was that of an officer,
for 1t had a sword by it's side.
There are fifteen shell holes in the hull
of the Reina Christina, one made by an
eight-inch and the other by smaller shots.
The main injection valve is missing, show
ing that the ship was scuttled when Ad-
miral Montojo abandoned her. The hull
Is in fair condition.
Capt Albert R. Couden. commanding the
naval station at Cavite, took charge of the
remains of the Spanish sailors, expressing
desire to give them an American naval
funeral. The Spanish residents, however,
are anxious to ship the skeletons to Spain.
and it is suggested that the United States
transport Sumner convey them to Spain
by way of the Suez canal in June.
A wrecking company is endeavoring to
raise all the sunken Spanish warships.

WIND TOO HEAVY FOR RACE.
Two Shamrocks Abandoned Their Trial
Set for Today.

WEYMOUTH, England. April 13.-The
Shamrock rs spinnaker boom, which was
carried away by steam yacht which
fouled the old cup challenger during the
race with the Shamrock III off here Satur-
day, has been spliced, but 1t has been de-
cided to postpone further contests under
actual racing conditions between the two
boats until a new spar can be fitted.
A trial spin between the Shamrocks was
arranged for today. but their departure
was delayed while awaiting the moderation
of hard northerly wind.
Most of the forenoon was occupied with
altering the challenger's mainsail which
had stretched considerably.
The two yachts left their anchorage at
about II o'clock this morning. and fetched
out to start a trial race, but the wind,
even inside the breakwater, was harder
and more squally than anything the chal-
lenger had previously experienced. The
boats staggered under their low canvas
alone. Outside the breakwater the condI-
tions were worse, and after a consultation
it was decided to abandon the trial owing
to the risk of carrying away the yachts
