THE COUNTY TlCNETs.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
DEMOCRAT will be found the proceed.
ings of the republican county conven-
ton held on Saturday the 10th, and
the Democrat and Popuiist conven-
tons held on the 18th.
The two tickets are before the pub
lie, and we have no hesitancy in say
ing that the election of the democratic
ticket will give our people the most
competent officers. Most OF the men
on that ticket are well known to the
public. Later we shall tell you more
about them.
In the meantime it is the duty of
every voter on our side of the fence
to take off his coat, as it were, and go
to work for the success of the entire
ticket from top to bottom.

LAKE OF ICE IN SUMMER.
Surrounded by Perpetual Mountain
Shows, the Big Lump of Ice
Seldom Melts.

While the people of Denver are swell
tering in the first hot weather of the
summer a little mountain lake only 45
miles away lies calmly enjoying its per-
petual freeze-the lake is solid ice. This
is what was found by G. A Parker. in
charge of the telegraph construction OF
the Moffat railroad, in the shadow OF
the James peak, on the continental di-
vide, says recent report from Denver.
Perpetual SHOWS blanket the noun
tain on the sides not reached by the sun
and amid the wintry scene of glacial
whiteness lies the little lake, one big
lump of ice. How long the lake has been
frozen no one knows. Sometimes il
melts, but this year it has not shown any
signs of succum bling to the higher tenn
perature.
Mr.. Parker enjoyed the cooling prox-
unity of the lake recently when Denver
was receiving the first real share of hot
weather. He also inspected the enor-
nous banks of glacial snow, some of
them extending hundreds of feet on the
mountain side and scores of feet deep.
officers of the Moffat road are much
interested in the finds. They knew that
the glaciers were there, but the lake was
something they did not expect Now
everyone from General Manager Ridg-
way to the office boy is trying to deter
mine how long that lake may have been
frozen solid. 1t helps them to keep cool.
Many wonderful scenic features are
reported by Mr.. Parker, who rode from
Mammoth over the divide, selecting the
locations for the telegraph poles. He
says that the James peak country is a
wonderful region and will be a surprise
The Moffat road temporary line will
pass within a short distance of the peak
and a fine view of the SHOWS will be af-
forded.

BEAcoNs LINE THE COAST.
Marines Near the American Shore
Are Seldom Out of Sight of
Warning Light.

That the United States government
has been mindful of the welfare of peo-
pie who go down to the sea in ships
burning lights and signals stretched
along the American coast, forming a
perfect link, so that the navigator never
need be beyond sight of one of the bea-
cons. One thousand of these are To-
Gated on the Atlantic coast, 1900 are
scattered along the rivers and inland
waterways, 500 on the great lakes, and
$50 on the Pacific coast. OF the grand
total, including lighthouses of different
classes, buoys, beacons and danger sig
nails, 5000 are lighted, giving forth
their warnings at night time. Of'these
a score or more throw a beam Of 100,-
600 candle power.
To maintain the lighthouse service a
corps of over 1000 men is constantly
employed and a feet Of more than so
vessels. No service in the world ex-
ceeds our own in completeness and eff
cheney. A modern American lighthouse
of the first class costs between 500, 900
and 5000 900, and of this about one-third
is spent for the electric light apparatus
alone. Beside one of them Egyptian
Campus or Rhodes perfect idol" with
"profulgent brows," whose rays streamed
down the purple streams of Mizraim,
would shine as tapers in the Mediter-
ranean night, with no place among the
seven wonders of the world, and hardly
worth noticing.

We the Peoples Party in conven-
lion assembled, hereby re-affirm the
principles of. the Peoples Party as
adopted in the state and national con-
xentions of 1896, 1900 and 1904.
We endorse the noble efforts of
sur National, State and County officers
IN securing strong and effective laws,
which are of the non-class legislative
kind, and we, commend them for
their honorable and. conscientious
performance of their respective duties.
We endorse the action taken by
both Democrats and Populists of
Kansas in the plan of Cooperation
as outlined at Topeka, Kansas in our
State Convention recently, whereby
the same candidates were nominated
as our Standard Bearers, and we
pledge the nominees of those conven-
sfions our support.
We are in favor of an economical
aad. careful administration of all
ypabiic affairs; we demand Railroad
aeeisla.ion; whereby railroads shall be
shade to reduce the present excessive
3Eeight rates and be compelled to re
spect the rights of famers and cattle
Eaisers as. shippers; We strongly de
aaand that the rights and privileges Of
che common people be guarded, and
sfiaat all laws now in force to curb aad
zegulate Trusts and Corporations be
strictly and impartially enforced.
We denouuce the change made in
che Australian Ballot Law by the
Republicans, which change was made
Re confuse the voters, and to more
Grmly establish the Republican Party
IN Office, and recommend, that the
Lam be changed to its original form.
We arraign the present State ad
eaiaistratiop as being weak and ex
trazagant and disreputable in many
nf its acts, and seeking to perpetuate

the Republican rule in Office by dis
honorable methods.
We heartily sympathize with the
laboring people of Colorado, who
have been SO tyrannically transported
and misused, and who did not receive
justice due them as vouchsafed by
the State and National constitutions.
We highly commend Honorable w.
]. Bryan for his untiring and heroic
efforts in promulgating the rights and
privileges of the great mass of labor
ing people.

Why They Got Along

Barlow-The Wigginses seem to get
along together wonderfully. I never
supposed they would, their tastes being
so dissimilar
Catian-That's just the reason why
they do get along so we'll. He is always
talking on literary subjects and she
talks of nothing but her housework AS
neither knows anything about what the
other is speaking of, they never have
any disputes.-Boston Transcript

Women are employed fairly extensive
ly by the various railway companies, but
their salaries are low, as they are chiefly

gagged in routine work. Booking clerks
receive from $3.50 to SIS per week; ticket
sorters, So to 81 a week, and clerks in
the goods departments, S125 to $500 a
year. Female inspectors of waiting
rooms receive SIS week and expenses

Fish Longevity.

According to a recent writer there is
now in the Imperial aquarium of ST.
Petersburg pike that first saw the light
at the close of the fifteenth century He
still appears to be quite young fellow
Notwithstanding his centuries and his
long captivity. The writer says that
there is nothing very extraordinary in
this case, and he mentions several other
fishes in the same aquarium that are
more than $50 years old

A sister and brother have crossed
to the other side. Their parents both
lived to be past so yrs. of age.
Sunday they held an informal re-
ception, after which over so, ranging
in age from 4 months to 80 yrs, sat
down to an elegant dinner furnished
by the ladies of the crowd. Hon. M.
w. Cobun was called on for a speech
by the brothers, and responded
with few appropriate remarks, after
which several others were called on
who also responded briefly.
Later they were served with ice
cream, cake and fruit. There were
many other relatives present to enjoy
the occasion. Among them were

Just at sunrise, Sunday morning,
all the relatives, over thirty in number
formed on the lawn and had their pic
lures taken with their fathers and
mothers picture in the background
and just at sunset the whole crowd
formed again for the same purpose
Everyone seemed to enjoy the day
and departed for their homes wishing
the brothers many years of health
and happiness

county generally, that the Repub
lican candidate for superintendent

ped as an educator to discharge
the dnties OF the Office we herr

OF the state of New York, and re
ceived a grammar school education
in the public SCHOOLS OF the city Of
Delphi, IN that state. Later she
took a high school course at Cler-
mont, Iowa, and after teaching for
six years spent one year at the
state Normal School OF Winona.

tion OF teacher in the eighth grade

lie schools, on the special recon-
mendation OF the professor OF ped
agogy Of Cornell College, to fill a
vacancy in room where two
teachers had successively resigned
within fe" weeks OF the opening
of the fall term, unable to govern
the room. This difficult position
Mrs. Money filled SO successfully
that after teaching out the re-
msinder Of the school year in that
grade she was offered the position
of assistant principal. but declin-
ing, was re elected to the eighth
grade at a voluntary increase in
salary.
Mrs. Money was married June

aged nine and two years. During
the ten years of her married life
she has not lost interest in school
work. but has always been fire.
Quent visitor OF the schools in the
various places where she has re-
sided, and has always sustained
deep interest and kept in close
touch with the schools. During
her residence in La Juntz she took
special course OF study in kinder
gagten work under the direction OF
the principal Of that department Of
the La Junta schools. About the
same time, Mrs. Money. with her
husband, also took a special cor
resPondence course in advanced
history, under the direction of the
historical department. Of Cornell
College, receiving exceptionally
high markings in her examination.
During the past year, while re-
siding in Higbee, she taught with
great acceptabiiity. in District No
10, during the absence of the reg
ular teacher in the east.
Mrs Money is in the prime Of
life and perfect health, and those
