A STRAY ITEM OF NEWS.
Picked Up on Market Street, Denver,
bv Our Representative.

by Our Representative.
When a man has spent the great
er part of his lifetime in n locality,
when over a third of a century ago
what is now considered a leading
paper in the west had it's humble
abode in a little old log building
which was used during the war as a
guardhouse, when that man lived on
Curtis street, now n of the main
streets in Denver, when even the Wild
est and fondest dreams of spectators
never imagined hat the city would
occupy it's present position in the re-
public much less the state, the opln-
ion of such a man who knew every
body at one time in the city and ev-
erybody knew him, should carry con-.
siderably nor weight than it he were
an utter stranger. Read what j. +.
Taylor, carpenter, of 1915 Market
street, Denver, has to say about
Doan's Kidney Pills:
previous to the summer of 1899 l
had attacks of kidney complaint for
years and despite all my endeavors to
stop them l was unable to even check
them. None of them ever laid me up
but always anxious to rid myself OF
the annoyance during one OF the
spells l went to the Scholtz Drug co.
for Doan's Kidney Pills and took a
course of the treatment. l unhes-
itatingly stated to the gentleman VINO
called upon me a short time after
wards that the treatment much TO
my surprise and more to my gratlh-
cation has absolutely stopped the at
tack. It is considerably over W
years since / made that statement n
have this to say about the
permanence of the results, l have
never had to use either Doan's Kidney
Pills or any other medicine for my
kidneys since"
Plenty more proof like this from
Billings people. Call at the Chap
ple Drug Co.'S store and ask what
their customers report. -

WITH DANcH MAVERICKS BEGIN
THE NEW YEAR.
CAME FROM EVERY CLINE
All Nations Join in Annual Parade
Given by jolly Fire
Fighters.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
When the Maverick Hose company
promises it's friends a good time, and
by friends is meant everybody in the
has been learned long ago that the
promise will be made good, and ev-
eryone makes preparations to be on
hand and share in the fun and pleas
IRE. Consequently the ball given by
the famous organization last night
was, as all Maverick balls are, an i'm
mense affair. Gruwell hail was pack
ed as it was never packed before by
a merry, happy throng of dancers.
The music was just right, the floor
perfect and the spirit of the dancers
in full accord with the felicitous sur
roundings. The weather and occa-
sion both were un%favorable to the
successful growth of wall flowers"
for the gentlemen who had charge of
the floor saw to it that they should
not thrive.
1t was long after the second day of
the new year had been duly recorded
by old Father Time in his flight be-
fore the weary musicians were per-
mitted to strike up the sad, sweet re-
frain "Home, Sweet Home and the
gay throng took it's departure, regret
ting that the end had come so soon.
The Parade.
Inaccordance with their custom, the
Mavericks had their annual parade
yesterday morning as a preliminary
to the festivities of the evening. AL
though not so large as some former
parades have been, still it, vas any
thing but a small affair. Some very
original and startling costumes were
worn and much speculation was heard
concerning the identity of some OF
the gay maskers. A real, live giraffe
walked with stately tread in the pro-
cession and occasionally nodded dig
niiedly to some of the spectators
strung along the sidewalks. An In
dian family, squaw, buck and all, was
a feature of the column, it's lares and
penates packed on a travels dragged
along by a pony. Then there was a
delegation of esquimaux from the far
north to lend further eclat to the at
fair and give it an air of novelty.

the fun. Frank Rademaker, who was
performing Wagnerian music on a
pair of cymbals in the clown band,
was so unfortunate as to fall from the
wagon. A stop had been made at the
corner of Montana avenue and North
First street. When the column again
began to move the mules drawing the
bandwagon made a sudden lurch for
which the musicians were not prepar-
ed and several Of them lost their
seats. MI. Rademaker occupied a
place at the end and was thrown to
the ground. He attempted to save
himself and threw out his arms. The
force of the fall was great enough to
cause him to sprain both wrists and
he also badly cut and bruised his
face. DR. Rinehart was called and
found that in addition to the other
injuries Mr.. Rademaker had sustain
ed a broken nose. He was assisted to
his home and sometime will elapse
before he will be entirely recovered
from his mishap.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad-
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her a bottle of
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many 9TH
ers. For sale by all druggists.

Broad Gauging.

The laying OF the third rail was begun
at Grand Junction yesterday which ID
to make a broad guage OF q portion OF
the ID. 4 r. G. railroad. Preparations
have been under way for some time. but
it is actual work that counts. The
company expects to have the road
broadened to Paonia by the first Of July.
After getting to Delta with the third
rail. which is being laid with heavy
steel, it is thought that instead Of
putting in the third rail from Delta 10
P-onia that one rail will be set over, as
full length ties are already in and most
Of the line ie laid with heavy steel.
1t is said that the company al o in
tends broadening the track to Oursy
and Telluride, bot whether or not this
will be done this year We have not
learned.
The procere OF leveling the ties pre-
parstory for the extra rail is being done
very rapidly. with an appliance made
for that purpose and it is reported that
the gang doing this work are now be-
tween here and Whitewater.
