to BRING ouil.
Little Rock, May 30.-The question
of the validity of the governors ON
nibus veto is to be tested by mandam
rs nroceedings to be instituted by the
Historical Committee of the q. G. v,
to compel the state auditor to issue
warrants on the $1,000 appropriation
for the purpose of compiling a roster
of the Confederate troops from Ar
kansas. Demand will be made by
Manager S. H. Nowlin on the adito1
fer SEQ with which to purchase office
furniture. and upon his refusal to IS
sue It the suit will be instituted in
Pulaski circuit coudt by eX-Goy. Dan
w. Jones. a member of and attorney
for the committee. Subsequent pro-
ceedings will raise the main issue,
and upon the determination of this
suit will depend the validity Of all
the acts. It is probable that the cases
will be advanced as speedily as pos
sible to final hearing in the SUI
prene court. as there are so many
and varied interests involved in it.
Colonel Jones will be unable to take
the matter up for several days. or I'M
til the latter part Of next week. He
will leave on Sunday night for St.
Paul Mimi, where on Wednesday he
will argue before the United States
circuit court of appeals the case of
George and Neill Rutherford VS.. Ell
len Foster and children, in which the
defendant was given judgment for
$4,000 in the Batesville court.

little later took up his home on the
Fountain Qulbouillie river, fifteen
miles north OF Pueblo. There he re-
manned until 1876 when he removed
to Kansas, staying in that state for
two and half years and then returning
to good old Colorado. Three years at
Trinidad, Colorado, were followed by
move to Mexico where he engaged
in the mercantile business.
The year 1886 found Mr.. Bannister

Carnegie Public Library.

Grand Junction holds pre- eminence
for being the first city in the state to
receive gift for public library from
Andrew Carnegie. The building was
erected in 1901 at cost of $4,000, and
was dedicated July Goth, 1901, 1. N.
Bunting, editor of The Daily Senti-
mel, delivered the dedicatorial ad-
dress. With the close of the program
ended one of the small historical stor-
les told of the progress of the city and
began the usefulness and influence for
good of one of the institutions of the
city of which all her citizens may
we'll be proud.
The building has block to itself.
The lot is 75x1s0 feet, giving ample
room for extension when needed. The
building is 32x45 feet and contains
lending room. a reading room, with
an alcove for magazine and reference
books. an office and back hall. The
portico leads into vestibule. just in
side of which is placed fine bronze
tablet with the inscription ''This
building is the gift of Andrew Carne-
gie''
Our public library stands as pro-
duct of the efforts of the Woman's
club, which began the work of estab-
fishing library for the city in 1896,
and never ceased its earnest and un-
tiring work until it was turned over
to the city i'll May, 1901. since which
time the library has been supported
by an appropriation made each year
by the city council.

ness have won for him the confidence
that many strive for i'll vain. Mr..
Delaplain's business is real estate,
insurance and loans. In all three
branches he gets a goodly share of
the patronage of the public. People
like to go to him as real estate man
because whatever he says about a
property may be relied upon. He is
agent for many strong insurance COM
panies and anyone seeking protection
of this character may consult him
profitably His business is located
on Fourth street i'll the Canon block.
NJ o. Delaplain was born in the
state of Iowa in 1858. For five years
he was telegraph operator and station
agent at different G. B. aud Q. points
in Iowa. He came to Grand Junction
in 1890 and embarked i'll his present
business in which he had previously
had several years experience. In
1894, ID. r. Crosby was taken in as a
partner. Under the firm name of
Delaplain q Crosby the business
progressed and prospered for eight
years. The partnership was dissolved
Mr. Crosby having received gov
ernment appointment in the land
office. In 1898 and 1899, Mr.. Della
plain held the office of city clerk. He
wa alderman also for period of six
months.
When Mr. Delaplain came here his
health was anything but good. The
Grand Valley treated him generously,
as it has many others and now his
health is fully restored.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.

The Woman's club of Grand Juno
tion was established in November.
1895. The motto of the club indicat-
ed the purposes being the mutual i'm
provement and culture of its members.
The membership was limited to twen-
ty-five and was seldom if ever full.
The ladies soon became dissatisfied
with the meeting for personal profit
alone. Seeing a great general need
for public library in this city they
set their hearts nn establishing one
here. The first year they purchased
reference books for the club rooms and
used them as II nucleus to build upon.
Several donations of books We're made
by private parties also.
During the second and third years,
repeated entertainments We're given
TO raise money to purchase books; ;
and library tickets were sold to the
members at 81. 90 apiece which entitl-
ed them to the privileges of drawing
books from a few shelves containing
from one hundred to two hundred vol
umes. The effort to establish n Ii
brary was made the practical work
of the club for three years. At the
end of this time the Carnegie library
was built and given as present to
the city. This gift was secured by

1900 and 1901, box of books was do
mated to the travelling library and
named for the Woman's Club of
Grand Junction. A tax was paid each
year to help sustain this state work.
The officers of the State Federation
have lavished much praise upon the
Grand Junction Club. saying that they
consider it one of the foremost clubs
in Colorado. Mrs A r. Wadsworth
served for two years as treasurer of
the State Federation. She is now one
of the district presidents of which
Mrs. j. G.. Cropsey served for two
years on the music committee of the
State Federation, and Mrs. L. p.
Chester on the educational commit
tee of the same.
The Woman's S club has broadened its
scope and widened its purpose until
now it takes in any woman of good
moral standing who wishes to take ad-
vantage of the study; and it aims to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number. It's study has covered lite
rature, history, science. art, econo-
mics and domest science. Several
papers have been sent each year to the
reciprocity bureau to assist in the
work of other clubs.
The present officers of the Woman's
club are: Mrs. e. p Chester, presi-
dent; Mrs a. G. Newton, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. J. G. Cropsev, secretary
Mrs. W. f. White, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. j. II. Ramey, treas
urer; and Mrs. L. B. Wilson, press
correspondent. The membership linn
it was long ago abandoned and the
books show an enrolment at present
of over one hundred ladies.
Several smaller charitable under
takings have been accomplished by
this organization. 1t stands ever ready
to lend n helping hand to any altruis-
tic work that it may consider within
its scope. And who shall say that
the Woman's club is not "A power for
good in the community? The origi-
nal small study clubs that were the
forerunners of tho present work were
narrow and selfish in a measur,, and
by their very eXclusiveness engender-
ed strife. The work now stands as
an exponent of woman's desire and
ability to lend helping hand.

young lady operator at the telephone
exchange, was choked by an unknown
negro in front Of the home Of Mr..
Gillespie ON South Broadway, or
within three blocks of the home of
Mrs. Jeter, where she is boarding.
Her cries attracted to her assistance
Mr.. Harkins, an employee Of the
government fleet, whose house is two
doors above the Gillespie home, and
upon seeing him coming the negro re-
leased his hold on the throat of the
young lady and ran.
The young lady was taken back to
Mr.. Harkins home and he immedi-
ately called up the police. After re-
covering somewhat from the excite
ment the young lady was escorted to
her home. The prints of the negros'
fingers on the throat and where his
nails cut the skin from which blood
came was plainly seen next morning.

ROBERT DENNIS PAYS The PENALTY.
ched One the Prominent Streets Of the City on Thursday
Aternoon--A Complete History the Crime and Execution

not exactly recognize his face. From
there the negro was carried to the
oity Jail, and it was not until after
the citizens came to town that morn
ing TO their different places of business
that the crime became generally
known and the news spread.
BY nine o'clock a large crowd Of
citizens had gathered around the city
calabopse. Mayor Shields notified the
sheriff that the prisoner was there. and
in shortsstime Sheriff Hunt and his
deputies got the prisoner, and carried
him to the county Jail.
1t was first thought by many citizens
that an attempted rape meant death,
but when it was found out that it re-
ceived only ten years in the pan the
penalty OF law--the people deter
mined in their own hearts that II
guilty the black brute should die.
Several attempts were made to Sc
cure the prisoner without placing the
lives Of the officers or citizens In dan
ger, but until Thursday morning all
attempts proved futile. By this time
sentiment was aroused, and good,
law abiding citizens, fearing that the
negro would be spirited away, be-
came desperate and demanded the
life of the prisoner before night at
any hazard.
