ton and military campaigns, which can
not be charged to the operating ex-
penses of either administra tion, the
records of the auditors and treasurer's
office show-with the last four months
of the Peabody term estimated-that
the cost of the present administration
has exceeded that of Alva Adams about
s16s, 900.
Such an increase is not extraordinary;
in fact, it must be expected from the
constant increase in population and
wealth of the state and the consequent
increased duties and expenses of the
state government; but there is a vast
difference between this amount and the
imaginary 81, ,374, ,2sO of Mr.. Patterson.
1t is to be noted that Mr.. Patterson
and the Democratic leaders go back
eight years to compare with the Adams
administration.
They are entirely willing to overlook
and forget the Orman administration,
which cost this state, for ordinary dis
bursements, about one-half of a million
dollars more than the Peabody admins
tration.

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see mother. with babe in arms. cough
ing violently and exhibiting all tn
symptoms OF a consumptive tendency.
And why should this dangerous condi
ton exist. dangerous alike to mother
and cLild, when DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup would put a stop to it at once?
No mother nhould DO without tnis old
and tried remedy in the house-for its
timely use will promptly cure any lung,
throat or bronchial trouble in herself or
her children. The worst cough or cold
can be speedily cured by German Syrup;
so can hoarseness and congestion OF the
bronchial tubes. 1t makes expoctora-
tion easy, and gives instant relief and
refreshing rest to the cough -racked con.

to the executive department, by which
it might be exercised promptly, effect
lively and without interference from
anyone.
1t is true that this is large RESPONSE
bility to be placed in the hands of a
single individual, but it is placed there,
and that is done for the purpose of
guarding against evils that are more
likely to arise than that a governor
should undertake to subvert the liber-
ties of his fellow citizens.
There is only one way in which the
subversion of local government by mob
rule, unlawful conspiracy and insurrec-
ton can be guarded against, and that
is by giving full powers to the execu-
tive department of the state backed by
military power.
And yet there are Democrats in Col
orado, honorable and intelligent men
apparently, who admit that the charges
against the Western Federation of
Miners are true, who concede that ter
rorism did exist in the counties of San
Miguel and Teller, and that the life of
no man was safe if he dared to act or
speak in opposition to the illegal au-
thority of the inner circle of the Feder-
alton, who admit that the Federation
was not only establishing an unlawful
authority by force and terrorism but
also that it aimed at the overthrow of
the present social system and the es-
tablishment of the cooperative COM
monwealth-andy yet these same Demo-
Gratis claim that the burning issue of
the present campaign is to censure the
governor for using the power given to
him by the people through the consti-
tuition for the exact purpose for which
that power was created, and who quib-
BILE as to whether the supreme law that
gives the governor power to order the
militia to shoot down a rioter in instant
death on the street also includes the
power to break up reasonable con-
spiracy by removing conspirator from
one place to another.
1t is to be regretted that any reputa-
BILE citizen of the state or anyone whose
position, education and social promi-
nence are such as to qualify him for
leadership among the people, should
permit his party prejudices or the de-
sire for official preferment to lead him
to lend the weight of his influence to
such cause.
Colorado need have no serious fear OF
the final outcome of the Socialism OF
the Western Federation, for that only
needs to be seen in its own hideous
light to frighten and disgust every true
American.
But Colorado has abundant reason tC
fear the Democratic party that never
hesitates to give its endorsement, sup
port and protection to whatever cause
however deadly or disreputable, ma,
offer it a chance of securing public
power. Its trucking to the Populist'
in the years of Fusion did immeasura
BILE harm to the state without achiev
ing single benefit, and now it is com
mitted to the policy of giving FREE
rein to the agitators and the .revolu
tionists, and depriving the state of it
most effective means of self protection

Can You Eatl
At Delta, in the State Of Colorado at the
close Of business. September 9, 1901.

J. B. Taylor prominent merchant of
Chriesman, Tex, says: II could not
eat because of weak stomach, lost
all strength and ran down in weight.
All that money could do was done, but
all hope of recovery vanished. Hear
ing of some wonderful cures effected
by the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, I
concluded to try it. The first bottle
benefited me, and after taking four
bottles, am fully restored to my usual
strength, weight and health. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat
and cures. Sold by The Peoples Phar-
macy.

Rob and Imprison Aged Chilli
cothe Man.

Chillocothe, Mo-, Aug 20.-Robbed
of $3.50 and kept prisoner all day in
an abandoned railroad roundhouse
was the experience OF an aged resi-.
dent OF this city yesterday. 1t was
one OF the boldest robberies in
the history of north Missouri.
N. J. Pennington, aged S6 years,
was the man who lost his money. He
was approached by a stranger, who
posed as a real estateagent and offer
cd to take the old man to see cot
tage he had for sale. The two drove
to the suburbs, where a house worth
81 400 was shown and priced at
$3.50. The deal was closed at once
and the two returned to town and
the old man drew $3.50 from the
bank.
Before drawing up the papers the
"real estate man" again drove to
the outskirts of town on a pretext OF
seeing O friend. In the outskirts
they met two men who held up the
pair in the buggy. The real estate
man gave up his money readily and
the old man was forced to hand over
his $3.50 at the muzzle of a revolver.
The "real estate man" took his
customer to the abandoned round
house OF the Chicago, Milwaukee 4
st. Paul railroad, nearby, and kept
him there until ) o'clock in the even
ing, when he left, making the parting
threat that il the robbery was ever
mentioned he would return and blow
the old mans brains out.

Generosity Of Two Women

New York World.
Use reward sparingly," wrote
Edward Eggleston and his teaching,
has been put in practice by at least
two women who lost their valuables
at Coney Island.
The account to date stands thus:
To one trolley car conductor for find
ing 81, 500, q Canadian quarter; to
one small boy, for finding emerald
pin; twenty cents.
The magnitudes OF these rewards
is likely to cause boom that will
add greatly to the population OF
Coney Island. "Poor but honest
men, women and children will fock
there in eager competition to find the
largest sum and receive the smallest
reward. 1t opens new future Tor
the rejuvenated seaside resort.
AS Juvena wrote nearly 1000
years ago: Honesty nowadays is

There have been between fifty and

Boy Saves Train
at Burning Bridge

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 20.-Two hun
dred passengers on the southbound
Union Pacific express last night
owe their lives to the courage and
presence of mind Of 10 year-old
Claude Nickerson Of Valparaiso.
Theyoungster, while walking along
the track from Mead, discovered that
q long trestle was in flames. He ran
two miles to notify the station men
at his home town.
The express was brought to a
standstill a few yards from the burn
ing bridges by danger signals. The
bridge fell while train men were
alighting to ascertain the reason for
the delay.
As there is a sharp curve around a
bluff just before the bridge is reached
by southbound trains, there is no
chance that would have saved the
express from plunging onto the burn
ing bridge.
Nickerson, after telling the depot
men Of the burning bridge, went home
to bedwithout mentioning the incl
dent to his parents, and was sound
asleep when the railroad employees
informed the elder Nickerson what
had happened. Tramps are thought
to have set fire to the bridge.

without. He was standing upon the
bridge of the Rossia when it was
wrecked by a sheh. The two Russian
cruisers we're literally riddled. Their
guns and engines were partly dis
mantled. The escape OF the Russian
vessels from Admiral Kamimura's
four armored cruisers is regarded as
wonderful piece Of luck. 1t is pre-
sumed that the pursuers OF the Rus
sian ships did not dare go far north,
fearing that some of the vessels OF
the Port Arthur squadron would
break through the straits OF Korea.
