MISS WOOD N IT.
Declares She Isn't Worrying Abou
Matrimonial Plans Of Senator Plat.

New York, oct. l7.-Miss Mae Wood,
to whom has been attributed the pur-
pose of instituting a suit for breach
of promise of marriage against Senator
r. c.. Plat, on the V of his marriage
TO Mrs. Janeway of Washington, ar
rived at the Manhattan hotel yester-
day afternoon from Ontario county.
New York, where SHE had been at the
bedside of a sick relative.
Miss Wood expressed herself In terms
of Indignation regarding the published
rumors, and said she was not inter
ested in any persons matrimonial af-
fairs. The only persons who are apt
to get into trouble, she added, are those
who are a. the bottom Of those silly
rumors.
When asked II she knew Senator Plat
she said:
"Of course / know him. / have known
him for several years. He has always
been friendly to me, and | esteem him
highly. regret the publication of these
ridiculous stories as very unfortunate
II distressing"
To a reporter Senator Plat said:
II have seen the statement about
Miss Wood in the newspapers, and re-
gret that anything should have been
published to her discredit. OF course
all the suggestions in regard TO law
suits are absurd and ridiculous. / have
known Miss Wood for a long time, n
with the senator's from her own state
recommended her for q position in the
postoffice department. So far as know
she has performed her duties satisfaC-
torily. l regard her as a lady Of fine
attainnentS.'
Call Her the "Wood Woman"
An intimate friend Of Senator Platt
said today:
This Wood woman of Washington
came to the Fifth Avenu hotel a week
ago and made a disturbance. She de-
manded to see the senator and when
her card was urned down she said she
would watch for him. She tried in vain
to bring on a scandal then. She was an
attractive appearing woman and SEEM
ed scarcely more than 80. She is a
brunette. She wore splendid clothes.
Sine turned to a group Of porters, after
her card was returned. We'll, I'll go
back tonight she said, but we shall
hear some more about Mr.. Platt's mar
riage and l am the one to bring down
the eagle We all advised the senator
to be careful lest this woman do him
bodily harm and now the senator has
detectives watching her. We have
heard nothing Of her since. She will
not be admitted in the ChurCh tOmor-
row. BY the way, there were no en-
graved invitations. The senator iq

London, oct. 19.-The Associated
Press has the highest authority foI
saying the announcements made by the
London Morning Advertiser today, that
the decision OF the Alaskan boundary

commission thus far has reached nc
decision and no vote has been sken,
even in the private sessions, which

BETTER GO SLOW.

An eastern party who is interested
in several paper mills contemplates a
visit TO Cresco in the near future with
the view of building paper mill for
the manufacture of straw paper and
straw board, and also paper from flax
fibre. Such an enterprise would be of
much benefit TO the farmers of the
vicinity as it would open up another
market for surplus of by products of
the farm and could not bat result in
profit to the manufacturer as there is
a large and increasing demand for
such goods with a reasonable price for
the raw material. We are not apprised
of what the party will expect from
our people in the way of assistance
toward the enterprise, but what is
reasonable and safe to do we believe
the enterprising business men of Ores
CO will promptly do-Cresco r. ID.

Some Facts About Colorado.

Here are some facts about Colorado
which few people know:
1t is the greatest gold producing
state.
The greatest silver producing state.
The greatest health restoring state.
The greatest scenic state.
The state of 300 mountains, half of
which are not even christened, to say
nothing of 900 lakes and more than
sixty rivers.
The Rocky Mountains occupy in
Colorado alone more than five times
the entire space occupied by all the
Alps.
Among the Alps there are nine
peaks more than $4,000 feet high; in
Colorado, forty-two-all higher than
the famous Jungfrau.
There are full score of incorporated
towns, doing business every day in tine
week in Colorado on higher level
than the great st. Bernard Pass, with
its monks and dogs and snow storms.
Reduced rates to Colorado are now
in effect-S30 for the round trip from
Chicago; S25 from st. Louis; Sill 80

a monument to this woman for her
nerve and pluck and strong arm. II is
hard for anyone to conceive how any
body could stoop so low as these young
men did. There is surely great big
empty place in their numskull some
place. If they had been in some quiet
corner with nice looking lady, why

CAN'T SEE THE JOKE.

Among it's jokes about country
editors the Inter Ocean had one Sun
day from an Illinois country weekly
which said some of the women in the
neighborhood had been seen ploughing
corn the past week. If that Inter
Ocean fellow will come out this way
this week we'll guarantee that dur
ing the days drive we can show him
more than dozen girls ploughing
corn, and there is no serious joke at
all. Some of those girls do their work
we'll and they are happy as larks..while
they do it. We have nigh school girls
in this section of the best state in the
union who can and do pillow corn, dur.
ing vacation just as we'll as their
brothers. And why not? There is
much that is considered woman's work
that is more disagreeable and wesri-
some than the Goth century methods OF
blowing corn. We are not borrowing
any trouble over the girls that can
help to cultivate the corn, we rather
like her and we are as likely to raise
our hat for her as for anybody else,
Cultivating corn now will help hei
to relish her studies when she resumes

USE COMMON SENSE.

Just remember that when you buy
goods of man you don't know and
has no sense of responsibility after he
gets your money, you are not deserv-
ing of any sympathy if he cheats the
eyes out of you. The safe wav is to
buy of men at home who are interested
in keeping your trade, and know it
cannot be done except by fair and
honorable dealing In other words
exercise a little of the judgment the
good Lord invested you with when he
put you adritt in this cold, unfeeling
world. If you don't buy CT the home
merchant who is enterprising enough
to ask for your trade through the
columns Of the newspaper, you deserve
to be soaked. -
