TOLEDO UNVEILS
M'kINLEY STATUE

Toledo Ohio. Sept. 15.-Toledo was
en- fete yesterday over the unveiling of
the Mckinley statue, the first memorial
of the late President erected in Ohio.
After a naval parade on the river. and
a procession led by battalion Of reg
ular infantry. the statue. which stands
fronting the court house. was unveiled
by Miss Dorothy Bonner
Col. ]. c. Bonner. president of the
Memorial Association, in a brief ad
dress presented the monument to the
county. and Henry Conrad. president OF
the Board of County Commissioners,
accepted the trust on the part of the
county. Senator NJ. A. Hanna was then
introduced a. honorary president OF
the day, and made brief extempore
address. A dedicatory poem by Theo-
dore McManus was read by the author
and the orator of the day, Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana, was
introduced. The senator began by say
ing:
'"The place of William Mckinley in
history is secure. You honor your
selves In honoring him. You make
the future your debtor by erecting this
statue in commemoration of his life
and services, for like his immortal
prototype, Abraham Lincoln, he be-
longs to the ages Hither the lovers of
American institutions will come In the
unnumbered years before us. and derive
new hope and new inspiration.
Similar monuments will rise in
other lands to which peoples not OF
other race will pay their homage. The
people of Cuba, whose liberty was Sc
cured through his genius and states
manship, will erect monuments in his
honor. And so the people Of Porto
Rico and the far-off Philippines will
raise enduring memorials to perpetuate
to the farthest ages the memory of the
President who carried to them the
blessing of republican, government"

seemingly impossible mountains. All
this was done on a practice march

On top OF the rides made by Prest-

trip Just made by General Baldwin
with his troop of cavalry makes his
tory in endurance contests. The gen.
eral is over sixty years old and has
seen active and arduous life in tho
field. The trip was made in the heart
of the Medicine Bow forest reserva-
ton where for miles There were no
trails and at times the route went up
the sides of mountains so steep that
thirty men had to hold the wagon in
the train with ropes as well as tho
sixteen mules necessary to make the
trip. The smallest days work was
twenty-seven miles and the greatest
was fortyfive miles. The entire dis
tance covered was 160 miles. and IL

The most difficult march that we had
was a cutoff that necessitated going
right up the side of the mountain.
There were no trails. and we had to
make a road by tumbling rocks and
trees from the path. and in some cases
cutting our way through. The wagon
had to be hauled by sixteen mules
once or twice. and thirty of the troop
crs had to hold the vehicle and the
mules in place with ropes.

Ape-like Tree DweIlers.

Melbourne correspondent Of the
London Chronicle says that the admin
istrator of British New Guinea reports
the discovery of an extraordinary tribe
of marshland dwellers in the island of
Papua. Owing to the swampy grounds
and tangled underbrush, walking and
canoeing are almost impossible. Tho
native dwellings are built in trees, and
as result of the conditions existing,
the natives are gradually losing the use
of their lower limbs and are unable to
walk on hard ground without their
feet bleeding. Their bodies have de-
veloped enormously. while their legs
and thighs have become atrophied In
figure and carriage they are ape-lika.

THE STATE BOARD
OF EQUALIZATION

Denver, Sept. 15.-The State Board
day in listening to arguments by rep
resentatives of the railroads and tele-
graph companies of tho state on pro-
tests which they have filed with the
board against the assessments made
on their property by the county asses
ors of the state. Most of the time was
taken uD with hearing arguments by
the Burlington railroad. the Rock ISL
and, and the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
r. d. Pollard appeared for the Bur
1ington. Our road" said Mr., Pollard,
Is assessed at about its full cash value,
and am sure that the other properly
OF the state has not been assessed at
anywhere approximating its cash
value. | do not believe that this is
right, and for this reason | have ap-
peared before the board to protest
against the assessments which have
been made on the property of the Bur
lington road Our road. called the
Denver, Utah G Pacific, is assessed at
10000 mile, and l am confident that
this branch OF the road could be re-
produced for that price. The assess
ments on the main line of the road
have been placed at s1l 800 mile. and
the road could be rebuilt for S12.700 a
mile. The other property of the state,
as | have said. is not assessed at its
full value.
Take, for instance, the returns we
have on money credits, mortgages,
ETC.. of which there are s7S.000.000 in
the state. and you will find that these
are assessed at 1913 per cent. of their
actual value. All of the Libraries of
the state have been assessed at $21,-
$40, and | am confident that there are
many private libraries in some of the
Offices In Denver which are worth
many times that amount. The jewel
ry OF the state has been assessed at
S37S,350, and / believe that as much
jewelry could be found in single
ward in the city of Denver.
The Burlington road is assessed
higher in Colorado than it is in Ne
braska."

boy. and one who is very well liked
by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered q
great deal with form of Kidney Trou-
BILE which was very annoying. and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard of remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he is now completely cured Of
the old trouble. He says:
'Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief, anG now l can sleep all
hight without having to get up. We
will alwa.-s praice Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should DE promptly

safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made we'll boy Of him

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Suit Against Treasurer Rouse.

Assistant Attorney General Hersey
has filed suit against Van E. Rouse,
former treasurer of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair board, in the district
court at Denver. The complaint calls
upon Rouse to hand over to the St.
Louis Worlds Fair board the sum of
SIS, ,466.63, the amount of the last
voucher which Rouse drew out of the
fair fund. The complaint states that
the suit was begun under the instruc-
tions Of Gov. Peabody and John Holm
berg, state auditor.
Some months ago Rouse, when he
was treasurer of the board and mem
Der of it, drew out this amount of
money for the purpose of using it FOR
the building of the ST. Louis Worlds
Fair board in ST. Louis next year
This was done to keep the money
from reverting to the general fund.
In July, when the changes were made
IN the board by Gov. Peabody, Rouse
still had the money and he has re-
fused to give 1t up.
The suit is brought for the purpose
of securing the money from him. 1t
was at first believed that in the same
suit would be included a number of
vouchers which it was claimed were
Illegally made out. But an examina-
ton of these vouchers revealed the
fact that theys were afterwards ap-
proved by the members of the board
in a regular session. All of the vouch-
ers have not yet been examined, and
IL it is found that any Of them have
been Illegally paid then suit will be
brought against Rouse for the amount
of them also. Rouse denies that he
has been legally deposed from the
board.

The board appointed to examine
candidates for the office of coal mine
inspector has made it's report to Gov
ernor Peabody. David j. Griffith re-
ceived a standing of rs per cent, Will
liam Lewis 75.5 per cent and William
NJ Morris 51.7 per cent. The low
standing of the candidates is due to
the fact that the examinations were
too long on the first day and the can
didates became excited when they saw
the amount of work they had to do in
a given time. These candidates now
institute what is known as the eli
gible list and in case the position is
left vacant one of these men will be
appointed to the place. The laws of

ito be held at least once in four
