These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these

the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. BY destroying

be handled many times, and the
sacks are tumbled about roughly. Be
sure to tie them so the strings Will

By all means you should register
all valuable packages. Eight cents
will insure its safe delivery. and a
perfect record is kept of every pack
ct from the time 1t leaves the post
Office until it reaches its destination.
on Tuesday twenty tie sacks of
holiday presents were despatched to
almost every state in the union.
Don't forget to put your return
address. with street number, on ev-
cry package or letter that you send
out. Then be sure to tell your cor
respondents when they are writing
you to put on the street number.
This is important to insure prompt
delivery. and avoids mistakes of de-
livery to other persons of the same
name.
Street numbers must be placed
upon every house or the postmaster
cannot make delivery of mail.

Fifty Feet of Where
Girls Body Was
Found.

Colorado Springs. Dec. 22.-(Spe-
cial.) Chief Reynolds. as well as
the police of Pueblo. believe that at
last they have solid clew to the
solution of the Cheyenne mountain
murder mystery. They believe the
Young woman who was found with
bullet hole in her head and with
her face burned beyond recognition.
is Sadie Durant. who came to Pueb-
10 from Santa Fe and was formerly
a resident of Los Angeles.
The Durant girl left Pueblo about
twenty days ago and has not been
heard of since. While in Pueblo she
is said TO have acknowledged she
was going under an assumed name
and that her life had been threat
ened by a man to whom she some
times referred to as her husband
and again as Jim" The Pueblo
police believe they can locate the
man and are working secretly to
find him.

City Detective McReynolds yes
terday discovered the first real clue
1t consists of a 1-ounce bottle of
carbolic acid which was found with
in fifty feet of the SPOT where the
body of the murdered girl was dis
covered. Near the bottle was la
bel, which, although partially de
stroyed, is sufficient to lead the de
tectives to the druggist who sold the
poison, and may eventually lead to
the capture of the murderer.
In the immediate vicinity of the
bottle of poison was found a fine
linen white handkerchief of ordinary
size, hemstitched and bearing in the
corner a laundry mark, I'D. l. c."
As soon as the detective made the
discovery Detectives Bruno and
Schultze were summoned to the spot
and the three officers at once COM
menced a most careful search for
the missing portion of the label from
the bottle. This label is the regu-
lation red poison label. From the
center portion had been scratched
the major portion of the name of
the druggist and the address.
The label had been scratched eth
err with the finger nail or a pocket
knife.
The bottle is a 1-ounce bottle. and
of peculiar shape. not such as is
used in this city or vicinity by drug
gists, 1t is tall and slim. with an
unusually long neck and a beveled
bottom. 1t was found under a large
tree about fifty feet from the spot
where the body was found. and
where it had evidently been thrown
by the murderer after the fatal shot
was fired into the brain of the girl
The bottle was partly covered with
leaves, while the label had been
soaked off and was lying upon the
ground beneath the bottle in two
pieces. Under the tree on the ground
are spots believed to be blood
splotches.

Invites Them to Meet Here.

Grand Valley National Bank, re-
turned yesterday from Pueblo,
where he attended the annual CON
vention of the Colorado State Bank
ers' Association. While there he
read a paper on the subject of DE
posit Insurance" which was well re-

some money to employ an actuary to
follow up the matter.
William Jennings Bryan, the well
known Nebraska statesman, spoke
on the same subject on the day fol-
lowing Mr.. Buchmann's speech, and
advocated the sane idea, only sug-
gesting the method of taxation for
the creation OF L. t-sJrance fund,
rather than the assessment plan as
advocated by Mr.. Buchanan.
The next annual meeting had
been set for Greeley. but Mr.. Buch-
mann made a strong plea for having
the 1906 convention held in this
city The idea was well received
and there is a very strong likelihood
of the convention coming to this
city in 1906.

Somehow il has ever been the

upon as about the "dingiest" and
most uninviting business offices to

rapidly passing away. Railroad

their offices be clean. comfortable

That, too, was done, and tho signal

had now changed her course seven
