Cause for Thankfulness.

For the last two months the papers
have been filled to an unwonted de-
gree with staries OF calamities and
dixastsrs. Cyclones, foods and other
visitatiOns have lain waste millions
Of property and destroyed hundreds
Of lives. The elements seem to have
conspired to run a mad riot and show
their power. The like OF it has not
been known for years.
J In reading the awful stories of de-
htruction, We Of Colorado should be
filled with gratitude that we are i'm
mune from such visitatiOns. Our
peaceful world, particularly in North
western Colorado, is rejoicing in
bountiful rains, growing crops and
awakening activity In every line of
enterprise. Nature is kind, the hills
are glowing with verdure and color,
peace and prosperity rest upon us
and the balmy air of spring fills the
sences with gladness and rejoicing.
Ono feels that 1t is indeed privilege
to be alive and enjoy such blessings.
Health, peace, happiness, prosperity,
with = glowing vista in the future
and pulsating virile life alive to the
advantages Of the present-such is
the picture which Northwestern Colo
rado presents to the world.-Steam-
boat Pilot.
The above timely and well-written
article voices some Of the thoughts
which found Judgement in our mind
Of late. Yes; we ought to be truely
thankful that we are living in North
western Colorado.

His Last Hope Realized.
[From the Sentinel, Gebo, NJ,

[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.l
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and his afterwards
camping upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water which, together
with the severe heat, gave hima very
bad case. of the diarrh9a which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy As n
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in n few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bot
tie worked n complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

Boss Rule and 4 Free Press
in Pennsylvania.

There was given to the public last
month a hong statement Of political
conditions and methods In Phdadel-
phia, In the form ofa review covering
the past four years. 1t was issued BY
the managers of the Municipal
League. It is q scathing description
and analysis Of the evil methods pur-
sued in what the reformers consider
the most scandaloasly corrupt :.of all
great cities. The government Of the
|city Of Philadelphia has not been
wholly distinct In influence and char
acter from the government Of the
state Of Pennsylvania Republican
boss rule has dominated the AffairA 6f
the city and state alike. One Of the
most extraordinary achievements Of
this boss domination has been the
passage by the recent legislature of "a
new law directed against the news
papers, intended to suppress political
cartoons, and to restrain the press
from extreme criticism Of the acts of
officials. Undoubtedly some Of the
Philadelphia newspapers-one In par
ticular-have gone far in tn virulence
Of their attacks upon the high officers
Of Philadelphia and the state of Penn
sylvarin. But the provocatiOn to
these forms Of newspaper attacks
has been great; and, furthermore. the
ordinary libel laws have been avail
able, with = judiciary made up largely
Of mon owing their positions to the
very personages most frequently as-
sailed by the press. The now enact
ment II ascribcd to the personal in
Auence of Governor Pennypacker
himself; who, in giving It his sigma
ture, made long public defence of
It that has excited the derision Of
newspapers throughout the entire
country. Criticism Of public officers
in the United States Is In no pArticu-
Lar danger of doing any harm. 1t is
sometimes excessive and sometimes
seriously unjust. But 1t is whole
some and necessary that there should
be great freedom in the discussion Of
public men and measures.-From

Minister Leishman were effective.
In his cablegram to-day Minister Leish-
man says that the American claims
against Turkey are not receiving salts
factory attention by the Porte.
Communications have reached the State
Department urging this Government to
say or do something that will put a stop
to the atrocities in Turkey. 1t is stated
that this pressure does not emanate from
the missionaries. Officials at the State
Department are reticent about the prob
ability of the United States giving ex-
preston to the feeling with which the al
legged atrocities in Turkey are viewed by
the people of the United States, but they
said that reports from Turkey showed
that the deeds daily perpetrated in sec
tons of that country were of such
character as to shock civilization, and
necessarily were of deep concern to the
United States.
The State Department to-day received
a cablegram from Minister Leishman at
Constantnople. but nothing was - given
out regarding IT except, the. informal state
ment that it contained no alarming news
and was in part concerned with routine
business. The withdrawal of the Ameri-
can squadron from Beirut. it is said, has
not yet been determined upon, and no in
dication has been received from Oyster
Bay as TO the Presidents intentions.

v ONDON, Sept. ~21.-The question of
~ the support of the Nationalist party
4 or the new fiscal policy of retalia-
ton is said to be the subject of
negotiations between the Government and
the Irish leaders. 1t is rumored that
Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham is offer
ing a concession in the shape Of a Roman
Catholic college in Dublin, while the Ma
tionalists, on the other hand. are demand
ing a measure of local self-government as
the price Of their support. Whether or
not these statements are we'll founded it
appears clear that the Nationalists in
tend to use the Cabinet crisis as a lever.
William O'Brien, NJ. p, speaking in
Cork tonight, declared unequivoeally that
both of the English parties were broken
and the solid Irish party would meet
whichever came out on top. The future
aim of the Irish party, he said. was IRE
land a nation, and it intended tc adopt
a position of independence AMI hold its
hand until it was discovered from whom
the best terms could be obtained This
means which secured the abolition of
landlordism, declared the Irish leader,
could easily on the same lines achieve
home rule.
King Edward is reported to have ap-
proved the appointment of Austen Cham

rick: Brodrick, the Secretary for War,

to Lord George Hamilton. and Lord Sell
borne. the First Lord OF the Admiralty
to be Secretary for the Colonies, in sue
cession to Joseph Chamberlain.
No official confirmation of the appoint
ments has yet been forthcoming 1t is
known that Lord Milner, the British High
Commissioner of South Africa, was Of
fered the Colonial Secretaryship.
Premier Balfour's private secretary an
nounced that the reported Cabinet ap-
pointments had not yet been made, add
ing that Balfour hardly expected to be in
a position to give out the list of new Min
listers to-day.
Apparently Lord Miner is still consid-
ering the offer of the Colonial Secretary
ship and thereto is probably due the de-
lay.
Well informed persons express the
opinion that Lord Selborne will remain in
the Admiralty to carry out the reforms
he has inaugurated.

HUNDREDS LIE UNBURIED.
Victims of Turkish Atrocity at Kas-
toria Not Inferred.

SOFIA, Sept. H.-According to informa-
ton received at revolutionary headquar-
ters from Monastir 100 persons perished in
the flames of their burning villages near
Kastoria. More than 1900 bodies of men,
women and children are said to be lying
unburied.
The unfavorable replies of Austria and
Russia to Bulgaria's last note and the
fact that none of the other great powers
has yet replied. coupled with the allega-
tions that one of the powers is encourag-
ing the military party at the Yildiz Kiosk
tend to create less hopeful feeling here
There is, however no perceptible change
in the situation. Various reports are in
circulation regarding negotiations be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria looking to a
solution Of the Macedonian difficulty.
The DnevenIk says Turkey has present.
ed note to Bulgaria asking for the lat
ter's assistance in reaching a practical So
luton. Bulgaria replied that Turkey must
end the massacres, withdraw her frontier
forces, guarantee peace and protection to
the villagers desiring to return to their
homes and amnesty to political offenders,
and introduce such governmental reforms
as will pacify Macedonia and Adrianople
The Bulgarian reply concludes:
IF the present situation continue the
Bulgarian Government will be compelled
to yield to public opinion and send an
army to the frontier
1t appears doubtful that the Government
has sent such an answer, but the state
ment published represents in some degree
the Governments attitude.

AUTOMOBILE
RACES DOWN
.EMBANKMENT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. PA serious automo-
bile accident occurred at 1O:15 o clock to-
night at the point where Willow street
meets Guadalupe Creek, and four persons
were more or less badly injured. The
heavy machine pitched twenty feet down
an embankment in the darkness, and the
marvel of it is that every one on board
was not killed.
The persons in the automobile were
Peter c. Col, member of a weIl-known
firm of wholesale grocers; Mrs. Col; their
son Louis, IA years old; Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter de Saisset, prominent residents and
widely know in society. and a chauffeur.
Mr. and Mrs. Col had never before
taken a ride in an automobile, and they
hit upon the plan of making up a party
and trying the horseless carriage. The
start was made at about s o'clock, and
everything went well for a couple of
hours at the end of which interval they
were not a great distance from home on
the return trip.
The chauffeur was driving the machine
at good clip and was on the embank-
ment at Willow street. near the creek.
The ladies engaged in a lively chat about
the delights of auto riding and the sue
cess of the outing. when without warning
the ponderous vehicle slipped from the
highway and went crashing nearly twenty
feet to the base of the embankment.
The terrified passengers had not an in
slant to think of escape. AS the automo-
bile went over it turned upside down and
landed on top of two or more of the
shouting and screaming occupants.
The chauffeur was the only person who
entirely escaped injury. He had been
thrown from the car and landed in the
shrubbery. AS quickly as possible he
rushed to aid the injured passengers, and
assistance was summoned.
The physicians found that the passenger
most seriously hurt is Mrs. de Saisset.
She suffered internal injuries and her con-
dition is regarded as serious. Her hus-
band had shoulder broken.
Peter Col was among the most unfor-
tunate. one of his arms being broken in
two places. He il, also considerably
bruised Young Louis> Ccl sustained some
painful cuts on the head. Mrs Col es-
capped with a sever fright and shaking
up. The automobile was wrecked. 49,.

EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE
AGAINST COLE YOUNGER
Former Bandit Says Wild West Show
Proprietor's Accusation
TS Eo1ca
Is False.

NEVADA, Mo, Sept. 21.-A charge of
embezzlement of $4,000 has been made
against Cole Younger, the bandit, by the
management of a wild West show
with which Frank James and Younger
have been associated since shortly after
Youngers pardon from the penitentiary,
where he was serving a life sentence.
James and Younger had previously
brought action for damages against the
management because, as they alleged the
show proprietors failed to equip the ag-
gregation according to contract and re-
fused to drive away the gambling eIe-
ment that followed the show. Both
James and Younger assert there is moth
ing in the embezzlement charge, which,
they say, is retaliatory.

LONDON, Sept PA case of murder
by an injection of poison by means OF 4
hypodermic syringe is reported by the
Moscow correspondent of the Daily Mail.
who writes that an unpleasant smell pro-
ceeding from a wicker basket which ar
rived as luggage at the Brest railway
station in Moscow and for which no
claimant appeared caused an examination
to be made. when the body of a we'll
dressed man was found. An examination
showed that death had resulted from an
injection of poison under the skin by
means of a syringe. Inquiries were insti-
tuted which proved that the murdered
man was a welI-to-do land owner named
Martin TOmasheffski.
The circumstances under which the
deed was committed are of a sensational
character. Tomasheffski had no occupa-
tion and resided at a hotel He was pas
sionateIy fond of card playing and visited
a club every night. where he played for
hours for heavy stakes and was. as a
rule. very fortunate. On the day of the
murder his cousin called at the hotel and
asked him to come to his mothers house
to play cards with two friends Of the
family. Then, at a given signal. he was
seized, his mouth covered so that he could
not cry for assistance and poison was in
jected under the skin of the forehead.
The three men then watched the effects
of the poison for about a half-hour. At
the same time taking the victims money
from his pocket they divided II among
themselves.
After their victim died they placed the
body in a basket and one of the men tied
a cord tightly around the throat. to make
sure, as he said, that there could be no
further trouble with the murdered man.
The perpetrators of the crime were con-
fident their social position would prevent
any suspicion falling upon them. 1t was
only after strong chain OF evidence had
been completed that they confessed.

If the persecution Of Christians and the
excesses of the Turkish troops continue

Government will be unable to restrain the
