A New Minister.

Rev. Alfred George preached his
first sermon at st. James church
Sunday, and all who heard him were
most favora11ly impressed.
In addition to being a man Of
marked ability, the reverend gentle-
man has pleasing and impressive
delivery.
He is new man in Colorado, COM
ing from the state of Washington
where he had an important charge,
but could not stand the damp climate
there. 1t is his intention to locate
permanently in Colorado, where sew
eral desirable fields arc open to him.
Rev. George came to Meeker at the
request of the senior bishop of the
Church to take temporary charge Of
st. James, but 1t is almost a foregone
conclusion that the congregation will
request the vestry to extend an invi-
tation to him to become the regular
minister here; and as he is more
than favorably impressed with the
people and town, 1t is very likely
he will be induced to remain with us.

Drowned in the White.

Word reached town Wednesday
evening announcing that r. p. Owens
Of Powell park had been drowned In
White river about six o'clock that
evening.
It seems that deceased, who was
stopping with his relatives, Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen o. Jones, had started to
the south side of the river, going after
the milch cows. In crossing his horse
became unmanagable and he was
hncked of. Some Of the Jones chill
sirsn-saw the accident and immedi-
ately gave the alarm, but before help
could be summoned the ill-fated
man was carried out Of sight by the
stream which was swift and much
swollen as Il result of late heavy rains.
According to latest reports the body
had not been recovered, altho' the
whole park turned out to search for 1t.
Mr.. Owens was man of about 45
years of age; was quiet and unas-
suming and we'll thought of by all
who knew him.

A Possible Democratic Candidate
Says the Denver Democrat:

Says the Denver Democrat:
aside from Ex-Governor Alva
Adams, Hon. C. J. Hughes, and ex-
Governor G. s. Thomas, the man
most favorably spoken Of in connec-
ton with the Democratic nomination
for governor is Senator Edward 4.
Taylor of Glenwood Springs. And
why not? Perhaps no man in the
state senate in recent years accom-
plished as much good work lin eight
years service as has Senator Taylor
in that period. He Is the author Of
many Of the important laws placed
on the statute books during his term
of service In that body. In his public
career he has treated everybody both
the corporations of this state and the
labOring men with absolute fairness
and candor and his friends seem to
think that tho business interests Of
this state would feel perfectly safe II
he were nominated, and on the other
hand 1t is believed that his. nomina-
tion would be equally satisfactory to
the labor vote Of the state. The resi-
dents Of the district which Senator
Taylor represents in the senate are
largely ranchmen and stockmen and
there Is no doubt but that he has
more friends among there interests
than most any man who served in
the senate and the ranch, stock, and
irrigation interests are going to take
good care that they vote for their
friends and against their enemies
this fall. This element Of Colorado
voters will no doubt determine
the contest rs to who. will
be the next governor. The
Democratic party needs these votes
and should get them. We do not
know positively that Senator Taylor
will be . candidate before the Demo
cratic convention for this nomination
but we do believe that he IL an avail
able candidate 1t this time, and
should he be nominated and accept
the nomination he would beat Pea

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET
Cam. Reach Them.

On Tuesday last Judge Malone Of
Denver. appointed his brother, Hon.
II. H, Malone, as cO-receiver Of the
wrecked Fidelity Savings associa-
tion, to act with the previously ap-
pointed receiver, Judge Helm, who
should have been removed owing to
his previous long connection with
the looted institution.
In the legal battle just closed 1t
was shown that Helm was not only
the paid attorney Of the Fidelity but
Il party to some of its illegal acts,
such rs changing its name from
Fidelity Building & Loan association
to Fidelity Savings & Loan associa-
tion. Formerly Judge Helm bore n
name for honesty; recent disclosures
In the Fidelity case leaves it badly
smirched.
The appointment Of Mr.. Malone is
a good one. He is capable and
honest and will wind up the affairs
of the Fidelity as fast rs possible and
save as much as possible for the
victims.
In the meantime, the district at
torney and grand jury of Denver
county are probing into the doings Of
the Fidelity den of thieves.
Since the rascally disclosures con-
cerning the operations Of Johnson
aud his fellow thieves in the Fidelity
case, clamor has gone up all over
the state for the enactment, by the
next session of the Legislature, of such
laws as will prevent the reoccurance
Of steals like the Fidelity.
Needless to say, 1t is almost i'm
possible to pass a law, such as ia de-
sired, through the Colorado legisla-
tnre, In the Ihirteenth and Four
|5GsntK aaSss.Blfex the writer iutro-
duced bills for the proper regulation
Of such concerns, and got one good
bill through the House, but the FL
deity, Columbia, Midland and other
associations of the same character,
all Of which are run for the benefit
Of the Johnsons, collars, Normans,
Carringers and McNutts, put a we'll
paid lobby In the Senate and killed
the bill.
The people who have been robbed
may cry aloud for Laws to protect
them against the building and loan
and saving and loan rascals, but they
will get no such laws. The graft is
too great. 1t has been the boast of
the Fidelity thieves all along that
the law did not reach them and they
and their class will see to 1t that no
laws are passed that will reach them.
