TROOPS WILL
BE WITHDRAWN
General Strike of Miners No
Longer Feared.
Telluride and Portland Mills Have
Made Agreements With the I'm
ion Standard Mill Still
Under Union Ban.

Colorado Springs. March l6-The
strike continues at the Standard mill
of the United States Reduction q
Refining company. The conference
yesterday afternoon in the governor 5
office at Denver came to naught, the
Western Federation of Miners officers
insisting upon an agreement radically
different from that signed by the Port
land and Telluride mill homogeneous
and the Federation officers. The Fed
Grafton insisted that eight hours only
should prevail at the Standard, that
all mem now on strike should be i'm
mediately reinstated, and that the
scale of wages set forth in the demands
of the Colorado City union be paid
The management refused to discharge
the men now in its employ.
Upon the promise of President
Meyer that order will hereafter be
maintained in Colorado City, Cover
nor Peabody has ordered the troops
withdrawn by Tuesday. President
Meyer, as part of the plan to settle
the trouble with the Telluride mills,
verbally promised there shall be no
strike in the Cripple Greek district.
1t was also agreed all litigation
started against officers of the guard
viii be Immediately dismissed
President Meyer is meeting with
the Cripple Greek unions today to
consider the shutting off of the ore
supply to the STANDARD mill.

DASTARDLY CRIME
IN PUEBLO !!
Holdups Enter Crowded Cafe
and Shoot Down Men.
The Assassins Have Escaped and
Large Rewards are Offered for
Their Arrest Indignation of
the People is Intense.

Advices from Pueblo say that DIR
J. H. Turner is dead aud O. f. Bishop
is probably fatally shot as a result of
one of the most dastardly crimes ever
perpetrated in the state. While
Lousteaus cafe on West Fourth street
was crowded with people at 7.35
o'clock last night two masked men
entered and attempted to holdup the
place. Mr. Bishop was shot while
attempting to comply with the demand
of one of the holdups to stand up. ;"
DIR. Turner was killed as he sat at "A
table in the front part of the restau-
rant.
No money was secured and both
men succeeded in making their es-
cape. No crime in many years has
created such excitement as was mani
fest in the city last night. II the
men had been caught there would
doubtless have been a lynching party
rivalling in promptness any that has
ever transpied in the west Popular
indignation was at fever heat and be-
fore midnight more than s3, 600 reward
had been subscribed by the city, coun-
ty and private citizens.

BOYS Saved a Train.

Yesterday three or four kids board
ed the blind baggage OF No. 2, at
Salida, intending to come TO Flor
ence. theuce to Cripple Greek. Soon
after the train left Salida the boys
noticed that an axle of the tender was
broken and they became much alarm
ed. One OF them finally elm bed over
the tender into the cab and informed
the engineer who at first was inclined
to ignore the boys story. Finally
the fireman investigated and to his
horror found that the train was in
imminent danger of being wrecko D..
The engine was quickly stopped, and
after delay of about two hours the
train was taken on to Pueblo with a
freight engine. Meanwhile the con-
ductor fixed the boys with transport a
tion to Cripple Greek from Florence,
and the passengers made the young
sters each richer by about $50. They
were happy when they boarded the
afternoon train for the district, and
the passengers of No 2 felt that they
had had a very narrow escape.

TRYING TO PLA J A FARCE.

The people OF Raleigh voted for a
dlspensary few weeks ago. The ma
jority against open saloons was over
wheIming, but it seems that the city
aldermen are trying to play a farce.
By all considerations of the principles
of Democracy they should have ap-
pointed to manage the dispensary men
whom the dispensary people recon-
mended j; but they rejected them and
appointed men who were recommend
ed by the whiskey people. This was a
very serious blunder, and the Raleigh
aldermen will be condemned for it by
right thinking people throughout the
State.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
i'ized world. Your mothers and
grandrnothers rever thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
'ousness. Doctors were scarce, and
hey seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation OF undigested food, regulate the
action ct the liver, stimulate tie ner-
vous and organic action of the system.
and that Is all they took when feeling
dull ard bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses OF

Crizin Of teBudget.o y

It is difficult to realize that the term
"'budget," now so often in every ones
mouth, is a term less than 200 years
old, the earliest mention Of the word
dating no further back than 1913. We
borrowed it from the old French Ian
guage-bougette, meaning small bag.
In which in former times 1t was the
custom to put the estimates Of receipts
and expenditures when presented to
parliament; hence the chancellor Of the
exchequer, in making his annual state
ment, was formerly said to open his
budget. IL time the term passed from
the receptacle to the contents, and.
curiously, this new signifcation was
returned from this countryRgo France,
where it was first used in an official
manner in the early part Of the nine
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

Could Not Wait.

Some years back there was an old
Justice Of the peace in Lancaster county
whose thirsty temperament caused him la1
to have little patience with the lengthy
trials at which he occasionally presidzss
ed. One day there was suit brought
before him in which two young lawyers
but lately admitted to the bar were pitt:
ted against each other. The latter
mindful Of the prestige which a victory
for either side would mean, were ex-s
amining the witnesses at great length
and consuming, tits true, a great deal:
Of unnecessary time. Finally the tesH-E
mony Of the last witness was conclud-
ed, and the one attorney began to argue
his side Of the case Just as he was
warming up the squire finished the cal
culation he had been making on small
piece Of paper and, getting up from the
bench, said coolly:
young men, you can go right on
with your arguments I'll be back pret-
ty soon. The judgment is $50."-Phila-.

INSPIRED BY 4 SKELETON.
The Story Of How Chopin Composed
His funeral March.

61s Funeral March.
Late one summers afternoon, said
Ziem, Chopin and sat talking in my
studio. In one corner Of the room stood
piano and in another the complete
skeleton Of man with a large white
cloth thrown, ghostlike, about it. I
noticed that now and again Chopin's
gaze would wander, and from my
knowledge Of the man I knew that his
thoughts were far away from me and
his surroundings. More than that; I:
knew that be was composing.
Presently he rose from his seat with.
out a word, walked overmto the skele-
ton and removed the cloth. He then
carried it to the piano and, seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture Of life and
death.
Then, drawing the white cloth round:
himself and the skeleton, he laid the
latter's fingers over his own and be-
gan to play. There was no hesitation
in the slow, measured flow Of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music swelled in g louder
strain closed my eyes, for there was
something weird In that picture Of man
and skeleton seated at the piano, with
the shadows Of evening deepening
around them and the ever swelling and
ever softening music filing the air
with mystery. And I knew was lis
tening to a composition which would
live forever.
The music ceased, and when looked
up the piano chair was empty, and on
the floor lay Chopin's unconscious
form, and beside him, smashed all to-
pieces, was the skeleton 7 prized So
much. The great composer had swoon-
ed, but his march was found-New
