"The Village Parson."
The production of 1.-THE Village

to be one of the best plays ever seen

Must Take the Oath.

In several counties Of the State
orders have been issued by the
boards of supervisorsto the coun.
~ assessors to compel every per-
SON who gives in his property for
assessment to hold up his right
hand and take an oath that the
statement made on the assessment
blank is true and correct, Ind that
IL contains all the property for
which the person 10 liable to as.
sessment.
This order strikes the keyrote,
and If II is carried out faithfully
by the assessors in making their
rounds It will undonbt, dly result
In more property heing given in
for assessment than ever before.
The law requires this oath to be
taken. but through many years of
negligence, the formality has
been dispensed with, and the
average assessor now only re !
gu res the property owner to
sign the blank after it is filed,
and few of shem realize that they
are subscribing to an oath.
By administering this oath in q
formal manner to every person
assessed there is hardly any
doubt that the average person
will be more careful in his state
ments to the assessor, and thai
his memory viii be logged to the
point of giving in that class of
property known as solvent cred
its, which so frequently escapes
the assessor. Ignorance of the
oath will no longer be al excuse
for concealment,

"The newspaper is the merch-

MuNRoE KNOCKED OUT.
James J. Jeffries Still Heavy Weight
Champion.

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Lke the
veriest amateur in the prize ring.
Jack Munroe of Butte, Montana, went
down and out before Champion James
]. Jeffries last night in the second
round.
The man from the mining district
made such an extremely sorry showing
that the great throng in Mechanics
Pavilion roundly hooted him as he pro-
tested to Referee Graney against the
decision that had been given in favor
OF Jeffries.
The two giants had not been In the
ring two minutes when it was fore
seen that the aspirations Of Munroe
would be quickly disposed OF.
The miner was scared and awkward
and Jeffries in the first round had him
twice on the canvas taking the count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach Of his opponent
and each shot was followed by a blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees.
Jeffries went back to his corner
after the first round with a sneer and
a laugh on his swarthy face. while
Munroe's seconds busted themselves
with smelling salts and restoratives.
When the two came together for the
second round the laugh on the cham
pion's visage changed to look Of de-
termination that boded i'll to the
miner.
Fifty-five seconds after the gong
sounded, Munroe was lying on the
floor. bruised mass Of humanity.
with Jeffries standing over him ready.
II necessary, to put the quietus on the
championship abilities of his adver-
sary. The miner was too dazed to
rise to his feet, and the timekeepers
counted him out, but the husky man
from southern California did not un-
derstand that the victory was already
his nor could Munroe realize that his
pugilistic star had so early set. and
the two men in moment or two were
facing one another and Jeffries landed
a terrific blow on the jaw of his stag
gering opponent.
1t was at this time that Graney
came forward and ordered Jeffries
away, telling him that the fight was
ended in his favor.
From the time the bell rang for the
commencement OF the battle to the
time that the count of ten had been
uttered against Munroe. only four
minutes and forty-five seconds had
elapsed. The fight demonstrated. II
nothing else, that the world has yet to
produce a pugilist who will displace
James j. Jeffries as champion OF the
world.
A great throng witnessed the con-
test. Estimates Of the number in at
tendance range from 1000 to 5000.
and 1t Is believed that the gate re-
reipts will approximate $4,000.
The miners showing was a disap-
polntment to those who had the con-
f1dence that he would at least repeat
in some degree his performance in
Butte, when Jeffries failed to put him
out in four rounds.

UNIONS AND POLITICS

We don't want any labor party In
Colorado to still further harass and
divide the workers and give few hot
air artists a chance to still further ex-
hibit their freakishness.
What we want is to concentrate all
the workers and the humane, liberty
loving, common sense people of the
state together in one moral, industrial
and political combination, that will eff
fectually bury Peabodyism and all and
sundry other isms that initiate against
the states material and social well be-
! ing.
The political issue in Colorado is not
Peabody versus the w. F. NJ, nor
Peabody versus the Unions, nor
Peabody versus the eight-hour day.
but it is
The incompetent and corrupt state
| administration against the best inter-
ests of Colorado.
Neither Peabody nor the Western
Federation of Miners is big enough to
| divide the empire of Colorado polit-
ically.
Let us be honest and frank about
| this. 1t never hurt anybody to tell the
truth. This paper don't depend upon
the governor nor the miners for its sup
| pOt IL hGNSl 6OI oAC SChC 1lOA CltuSl
party; nor does it expect to.
We are against Peabody because he
is against Colorado, and we are for the
miners because they constitute a small
portion of the people of Colorado, and
as worthy, deserving men they should
be protected by the state, not oppressed
by it.
We are for the unions of Colorado.
and don't forget that the unions of
Colorado are immeasurably bigger than
the miners, because the unions add to
the material well being of the workers
and thus directly advance the states
whole interest.
We are for justice and law and de
cency and a government above re-
proach.
All these things are issues in the
coming campaign AID in all cam
paigns.
Come now, gentlemen of the press, of
the platform, Of the unions, of the
counting house, gentlemen of the politi-
cal parties, let us reason together in
this fashion.
Let us not dream.

OFFICES OF MINING CONGRESS
Lafe Pence Lugs In Mormon Question.
Utah Men Indignant, but Peace
Finally Prevails and Den-
YER Wins.


Portland. Ore, Aug. 27.-The Ameri-
can Mining Congress relapsed into the
routine of the official programme after
having spent the greater part Of twen-
ty-four hours in a hard-fought contest
over the location of the permanent
headquarters, which terminated yester-
day afternoon with the decision in ia
vor of Denver.
Preceding the vote on the question
Of the permanent headquarters there
WAS a love feast among the delegates
from Salt Lake and Denver. who ex-
pressed great regret over the unhappy
occurrence of Thursday afternoon,
when uncomplimentary words were
banded from one delegation to the
other because of the fact that the Nor
mon question had been interjected into
the debate over the permanent head
quarters.
Lafe Pence, who spoke Thursday in
behalf Of Denver, in the course OF his
remarks adverted to the Mormon
problem and instantly the convention
was thrown into a state Of intense ex-
citement that permeated the proceed
ings for the remainder of the after
noon and engendered bitterness that
has not before been manifested.
Mr.. Pence's insinuation that Salt
Lake was noted chiefly as the home of
polygamy aroused intense indignation
among the Utah delegation.
A feature of the afternoon session
was the election of Joseph T. Corn
forth of Alaska, a former Coloradan
as an honorary life member of the
congress. The honor was a token OF
appreciation Of Mr.. Cornforths serv-
ices to the mining industry in that he
was one of the founders of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress and has given 1t
substantial and valuable assistance in
its growth since.
