A Soldiers Life is Not So Very
Pleasant.

Cripple Greek. Colo, Sept 12-
Last night the soldier boys at Camp
Goldtield had hard time of it, as it
has been raining hard for several
hours. and little snow fell during
the evening.
The most important event in con
nection with the military branch yes
terday was the arrival of a Gatling
gun loaned to the state by Wyoming,
and was brought to camp in charge of
Lieut.. Mayott of Cheyenne, an officer
of the Wyoming cavalry.
Surgeon General Hanford, who is
in command of the medical depart
ment and who has been absent on tenn
porary leave, is expected to return to
camp.
A number of the wives Of the Off
GERS of the guard. and also a few
sweetlfearts. are registered at the
hotels of the district. Gen. Chase s
wife AID family are at the National
hotel. An orderly will watch the
telephone for messages from headquar-

psymaster general and aid on the gov
ernor's staff. is also visitor to Camp
Goldfield. Capt. Perry of Troop B

WORK FOR THE CHAMBER.
Farmers Complain of the Many
Poor Roads.

Here is proposition for the
Chamber of Commerce and The Trib-
une respectfully refers the matter to
the committee ON Public Improvement.
The ranchmen who live in the
vicinity of Florence complain Of the
poor condition of the roads and The
Tribune believes that shen complain.
a desire to be overbearing in the mat
ter. That the roads leading into
Florence should be kept in good order.
every business man in the city is ready
to say amen There is one thing that
is certain. If the ranchmen do not
come to Florence to trade they are
going elsewhere, and usually a ranch
man thinks great deal of his team.
and he would rather drive fifteen
miles over good roads than to drive
eight or ten miles over bad road.
Then, that being true, it is reasonable
to suppose that Florence is not getting
the amount OF country trade that it
should have, were the roads kept in
good condition.
This complaint is nothing new; it
is of long standing; and the com
mittee Oh Public improvements could
soon bring about the desired change.

Just Il Bit Crazy.

Henry E. Huntington, the nephew
of Collis p. Huntington, is as remark
able pioneer in electrical railroad
ing as was his uncle in steam railroad
ing Mr.. Huntington was born in
the town of Oneonta, in New York,
says the Chicago Record Herald He
began his business life as "A clerk in
an jOnenota harwdare store, and his
mind retains many stories illustrative
OF the life Of the New York country
clerk of the period of 1870.
One of these stories Is somewhat
humorous. 1t concerns an Oneonta
youth whose employer liked to play
the detective on his men. He would
stand at the door of lns shop and ques-
tion each departing patron.
Were you treated well ?''he would
ask eagerly. "Who waited on you ?
Was he at all negligent? Are you
snre you have no complaint to make ?
Remember welcome all complaints "
Naturally, with this corkscrew
method, the man drew out of his
patrons good many unfavorable com
water continually.
1t happened one morning that a
woman strange to Oneouta came to
the store and bought number of
things The proprietor stood, AZ
usual, at the door. To the clerk who
waited Oh the stranger there came,
AS he tied up her last parcel, sudden
quaint idea, and he said:
"By the way, madam, | must ask
you to pay no attention to that queer
looking man there at the door. He
may approach you as you're giong ont
but disregard him. The poor fellow
is crazy We allow him 10 hang
around here because he is cousin
of the proprietor. +"
The woman thanked the clerk for
this warning and departed. AT the
door the proprietor, sure enough drew
near to put his usual questions to her,
but she, with little shrek of terror,
ran past him and escaped into the
/ street
With a puzzled frown the proprie.
/ tor walked back to the clerk.
'Did you notice anything strange
about that woman he said
4 well. l should say ] did, the
clerk replied. She is as crazy as a
loon. +"
"By George, thought as much, -
the proprietor exclaimed. "-Philadel.

BIG FIGHT IS ON.
Constitutional Convention Bat
tie Opened BY Waggener.

Bale Waggener's constitutional con-
vention resolution was the chief attrac-
ton in the legislature this afternoon.
1t provided that a proposition to call
a constitutional convention be submit
ted to the voters in 1904.
Practically every member was in his
seat when MI. Waggener took the floor
to urge the passage of his resolution,
and the lobby and side aisles were fill
ed with spectators.
Mr.. Waggener urged that the present
constitution is out of date because it
allows special legislation and that
two-thirds of the time of the legislature
is taken up with local measures for
school districts and townships and spe-
cial counties.
Other reasons which he urged were
that the state printer provision needs
changing and that the state should be
allowed a. change of venue in criminal
cases. In support of this he pointed to
the murderer of Sam Wood, who was
never punished because an unpreJu-
diced jury could not be secured in the
county in which the crime was COM
mitted and that there is possibility
that the same thing may happen in the
Jessie Morrison case if she secures an
other trial
But whenever we say anything
about a constitutional convention a cry
Immediately goes up against resubmis-
sion. Must every other interest be sub
served to the interests of prohibition? l
voted for the prOhibitOry amendment,
and. in my feeble way, 1 stumped the
state for it. but I want to submit this
question to my prohibition friends: Why
are you afraid to have this question re-
submitted to the people? If it is good
thing. there can be no danger in allow
ing the majority to rule. I believe that
you have been deceived. The strongest
lobby that has been in Topeka during
this legislature has been a whisky lobby
representing the liquor dealers of Mis-
souri, who do not want a constitutional
convention, for. as Senator ingalls, once
said, the prohibitionist has his prohibit
ton, and the whisky man and his liquor.
Look at the condition here in our capital
city. Right here where we make our
laws, there are open saloons and Car
RE Nation goes up ana down the streets
smashing them. If prohibition were a
success there would be no saloons here. =
Mr.. Waggener also pointed to the res
olution of the State Labor society, en-
dorsing the constitutional convention
proposition and said they represented
IS, 900 voters.
Representative jerks followed Mr..
Waggener in defense of the present con-
stitutiOn.

SUE FOR LICENSE.
License Collector to Bring Ac-
tiOn Against Telephone Co.'S.

License Collector p. H. Forbes will
bring suit against all the express and
telegraph companies in Topeka as soon
as possible to test the new ordinance
imposing a license fee of 800 a year on
all such companies. The papers in the
suit are now being drawn up. The de-
PENDANTS will be arrested first in police
court, and the case viii be taken into
the federal courts as quickly as posi-
BILE.
The companies which now refuse to
pay the license fee of S100 per annum
and who are standing together in the
effort to beat the ordinance. are as fol-
lows; Wells Fargo Express company,
United States Express company, Pacific
Express company. Western Union Tele-
graph company Postal Telegraph COM
pany. The aggregate amount of license
fees for which the companies are liable
each year is $500.
This amount of money is of course a
small item, but the companies do not
want it to become established as pre-
cedent that a license law such as TODe-
ka has can be enforced.
The Topeka ordinance was patterned
after the Nebraska law which has been
fought through the courts of that state
and declared valid.
Although the plan is to bring suit
against each and all Of the companies
which refuse to pay their license, it is
probable that one of the suits so
brought viii be taken to the highest
courts as a test for all the others.

Office here has not yet been advised of
the exact date of its presentation. The
terms of the note were submitted to
France. Great Britain, Italy and Ger
many and were approved in principle
by all except Germany This is regard
ed by the French officials as indicating
German divergence from the European
concert and as a tendency to support
Turkey. The notes, while firm do not
contain menace, the present suggested
administrative and financial reforms not
affecting the political status. In ex
planning the project an official said it
was an application of .Europe's Monroe
doctrine" which imposed the same du-
ties to maintain peace in Europe as the
United States exercised in Cuba and
