AN ABLE ADMINISTRATORS
Geo. e. coIgate's Familiarity with
the Public Schools Renders Him
an Ideal Candidate for the
County Sa,neriotendencv


1t is creditable to Superintendent
Geo. E. Colgate's administrative abili-
ties and to his familiarity with the
duties that have devolved upon him in
an official capacity that the schools Of
Fremont county are among the best in
the state.
Through the efforts OF Superintend-
ent Colgate an educational spirit has
been developed and the schools put
upon more thoroughly effective basis
than was the case before his election to
office. He has been close student OF
the requirements of the county and
knows the financial condition of every
district. knowledge that he has ntil-
ized for the public benefit. He is
thoroughly posted upon the school
laws OF the state, and as counsellor he
is of great assistance to boards of di-
rectors and teachers in most Of the
questions that arise in relation to
school matters.
More than one hundred of the teach
ers OF the county have declared their
adherence TO him in the campaign and
are working for his reelection. The
members of nearly every school board
are for him and will leave no stone un-
turned to bring about his success. He
is acquainted with nearly all the school
children of the county, and they are
promoting his candidacy by every
means in their power He is person
ally concerned in every school under
his Jurisdiction, and the encourage
ment he has extended to them has been
a factor in his success.
The interest Superintendent Colgate
has manifested in their welfare is ap-
preciated by teachers and pupils alike,
and they are reciprocating it by work
ing for his reelection. He has never
failed to get the full share Of taxes
from the state to which Fremont county
is entitled and has disbursed It in an
equitable and honest manner. and has
assisted its beneficiaries to use 1t to
the best advantage He has encour-
aged the boys and girls OF rural schools
to equip themselves with thorough
ness for future usefulness, and, as a
consequence, the high schools Of Flor
ence, South Canon and Canon City
have more country pupils now than
ever before.
In view OF superintendent Colgate's
ambition to further increase the
efficiency OF the schools Of Fremont
county it would be extremely foolish
to turn him out at this time and put
someone else in who IL absolutely un-
acquainted with the work Of the Office,
and. we are confident, the public has
no intention Of doing 20.

Hon. A. e. Bent. Our Candidate
for State Auditor. Z Man Of
Great Energy and Executive
Ability.
I The history and personality Of but
few men now engaged in the battle for
public Office in Colorado sppesls to the
voter with a. much force ~ that OF
Hon. A. e. Bent OF Lamar, the Repub-
can candidate for state auditor.
Since he was eighteen years Of age
Mr.. Bent has been Unidentified with the
development Of the resources Of the
Arkansas valley, particularly in the
matter Of irrigation, Of which he was
one Of the pioneers in Prowers county.
He has constructed many miles OF irri-
eating bitches himself and through his
influence hundreds OF thousands Of dol
lars have been secured from outside
sources for the same purpose.
He was one Of the leading spirits In
securing the first beet sugar factory
for the Arkansas valley, and 1t was
through his fundamentally that Prow-
ers county was given . telephone sys-
tenn and Lamar an electric light pant.
He was foremost in organizing the
associations that have promoted the
great industries Of shipping alfalfa hay
and cantaloupes from the valley. To
give a complete account Of the various
enterprises he has helped to establish
would be to write the history Of the
Arkansas valley for the last twenty
years, and the people Of this section
will show their appreciation Of his
work By giving him . handsome ma
jority on election day.
No more public spirited, enterprising
and capable business man 10 to be found
upon the ticket than Mr.. Bent, and We
predict his election BY safe majority
one week form next Tuesday.

1.-The medical department is RESPONSE
bic for the sanitary conditions OF camp,
and it is hoped that there will be such
a cooperation on the part of com
manding officers and the medical de-
partrnent as will result in as perfect a
sanitary condition as possible. 1t is
source of gratifica ton to all concern
ed that the location of the camp is an
ideal one, as far as high ground and
dramas e is concerned.
1T is of the highest Importance that
the guard should make as good show
ing as possible, in view of the fact that
we are meeting at the state capital and
so many critical eyes will be upon us;
and it is, too of the highest import
ance that we pass current at our full
value, instead of quietly accepting the
false position in which we have been
placed too often in the past. Therefore,
it is urged that an officers and men
take personal interest in encouraging
the chaplain's work and services during
the encampment. by attending at least
one of the religious services which will
be held in the camp on Sunday morn
ing and evening. officers will request
the men to refrain from the use of pro-
fame language, and from all acts that
might bring discredit upon the camp
and subject US to criticism. 1t is more
than probable that a great many per-
sons will visit the camp this year, es
pecially on Sunday. and it is urged that
officers and men take such interest in
and conduct themselves in such a way
that will make this years camp an ex-
ample to the military camps all over

Teasdale's court in Jackson county,
Missouri. The decision is an impor-
tant one inasmuch as it involved a
very intricate question, and the deci-
sion will establish a precedent in all
other litigation of this character which
is brought against the railroad COM
pany. Judge Teasdale held that the
railroad company was not liable for
the damages resulting to the goods
which We're caught in the flood, al
though they could have been saved
had there been no delay in carrying
out certain orders which had been
issued in regard to the disposition OF
the goods.
The case was brought against the
Union Pacific company by the Moffat
Commission company of Kansas City.
The commission company had two car
loads of wheat in the possession of
the Union Pacific railroad company
at Kansas City. Orders were given
to deliver the cars to certain ele-
vator If the cars had been moved
in the usual course of business in pur-
suance to the order they would have
escaped the flood. Upon the day
after the order to move the cars was
given, the flood came up and 1t was
Impossible to move them. The wheat
was almost entirely destroyed
The railroad claimed that at the
time the delay in moving the cars oc-
Cured it could not have reasonably
anticipated the flood and therefore the
delay was not the proMmate cause OF
the loss but that the flood was.
Judge Teasadle had the case under
consideration for several months, but
has decided in favor of the railroad

Wall Falls, Burying Six Men Under
Beams and Masonry.

New York, Aug. 6.-Eight men have
been badly injured, two fatally, in
East New York in the collapse of a
wall of two-story brick building.
Six of the men were buried under tons
of beams, masonry and flooring. All
would have persisted had not police
men and fremen assisted the work
men in the work of rescue. A physi-
clan risked his own life to administer
restoratives to those hurt, crawling on
his hands and knees under the
wreckage.
The building, was only partly fin

weakened the masonry. A policeman
who was. standing nearby saw the
south wall begin to crun BILE near the
base. Suddenly there was a lurch and
he called out "a warning just as the
wall fell inward, carrying the floor
with 1T. The crash was heard for many
blocks and sounded like a big ex.
