ANOTHER DREAMvANIsHED.
Big Cannon Shell Did Not Contain
Gold,

A few weeks ago an article was pub
lished In the REFLECTOR telling Of q
shell which was found on the banks OF
Holland creek. 1t was thought to be
an old army shell and that it might
contain money.
Last week however the truth was
learned about the shell. Many will
remem Der the time when the big
guns at Fort Riley we're tested, The
target was set at five mile range.
Shells fell thick and fast over the
fields which interviewed and some were
lost,
The government paid men, forty
cents o hundred to collect these shells
and bring them to the Fort. Several
shells rolled into an adjacent field
where farmer and his sons from this
county, southwest Of Abilene, we're at
work. They decided to say nothing
about these shells and when time
hung heavy on their hands, they
would haul these shells into town and
receive some Of Uncle Sans money
also.
Days passed and the farmer was kept
busy SO that the guns and shells were
taken away before he got to town. He
thought the shell would be valuable
souvenir and kept it. He discovered
a few weeks ago that it might not be
to his advantage to have the shell
found in his possession. The question
arose as how to dispose of IL. He
took it to the river bank and threw it
in. The water went down and some
boys found it. 1t has been opened
and was discovered to be filled with
powder and the farmer should thank
his stars that he is not in Kingdom
Come through some accident that
might have caused an explosion.
This is another beautiful sensation
busted and some bright dreams of
wealth dissipated.

Tremulo Stop Was Out.

The tremulo stop was pulled out to
the limit in "Over Niagara Falls" at
the Seelye last week. The play con-
tains enough "ieatures" to do dozen

CHANGING TACTICS.

The Democratic managers have at
last recognized that the stampede of
the law and order element to the Re-
publican ticket can not be stopped by
abusing Governor Peabody or by advo-
eating the negative side of the Inv and
order question. They are therefore
devoting themselves almost wholly to
the question of the alleged extrava-
gance of the present administration.
The Democratic dailies in Denver have
been busy misstating the facts regard
ing the expense of operating the gov
eminent under the present and former
administrations for several days. As
usual, they find it utterly impossible
to fight upon legitimate lines. 1t is
absolutely necessary in order that they
may have an issue that they misstate
facts.
This state has not had for years a
more economical and successful bust
ness administration than that Of Gov
ernor Peabody. The military expense
is not chargeable to the expense of
operation OF the state departments; it
is entirely out of the order of the reg
ular departmental business and should
be considered entirely separate there
from and this is also true of the ex-
pense of the Kansas-Colorado water
suit. The Legislature will take care
of both these items of expense outside
OF the regular appropriation for the
maintenance of the departments.
The statements found in the Repub-
licar text book, which has been re-
Gently issued, shows economy in every
department of the state compared to
the cost OF the Orman administration.
By the efficient and honest admins
- ffrt.- l.xr
emit officers Colorado is 100000 ahead
the result Of changing from Demo
cratic to Republican administration;
$240, 900 was saved by economical man
agement: 100000 was gained by the
efficiency of the heads OF the depart
ments in collecting revenue from lands
and other resources, much of which the
| former Democratic administration had
neglected. Over $50, 900 was saved in
printing alone. Incidental expenses of
the departments were cut down $780,
900. The Orman administration lost
$25 900 from the auditors office alone
by theft and extravaganza.
The long era of Democratic graft
came to a close with the inauguration
of Governor Peabody, and an honest,
economical and business-like admins
tration of the state affairs has fol.
lowed. AL the red ink in stock of both
the News and Times will not be suf
ficient to convince the people of this
state that the Peabody administration
has been an extravagant one. II the
cost of suppressing lawlessness by the
state is considered an extravaganza
the responsibility rests with the Dem
ocratic party. which by its weakness
has made the suppression necessary
and not upon the Republican officers
upon whom the duty of suppressing II
fell.

Increase in English immigration.

Washington, Oct. An spite of the
ocean rate war during the last few
weeks OF the fiscal year ending June
Both there was a decrease in immigra-
ton in 1904 of 44.176 over the previous
year.
The commissioner general of immi-
grafton, Mr.. Sargent, points out that
while there has been a decrease in i'm
migrants from other countries, those
coming from England rose in number
from 26,219 in 1903 to 3S,626 in 1904.
This is regarded as showing a trend
Of better element of immigrants COM
ing to this country.
The total OF all immigrants for the
last year was s12,S70, against S57.046
for 1908
The country sending the greatest
number of immigrants was Italy for
both years; that country, including 81
oily and Sardinia, contributing 230,62
in 1903, and 1893 1886 in 1904, a decrease
this year of 1885, Austria-Hungary
followed Italy closely with 206.011 for
1903 and III. 156 for 1904.

should be curbed; self government en-

LOW POLITICS.

The publication OF fake letter pur-
porting to be from the President to a
labor leader in Chicago by the West
ern Federation of Miners, which was
exposed last week, is in direct line
with the policy OF deception and low
politics which is now being followed
by the Democratic leaders and their
allies OF the Western Federation OF
Miners, Socialists, Populists, etc.
A sample OF this policy OF low poll
tics and deception is found in the ef-
forts these forces are making to con-
vince the people of Colorado and other
states that mining and other business
in the mining camps Of Colorado has
been paralyzed by the action OF the
authorities in suppressing Western
Federation lawlessness.
Cripple Creek has not been in as
good condition for years as it is at
the present time. An investigation
made last week by q newspaper man,
thoroughly capable and familiar with
the subject, demonstrated the fact
that about 500 more men are drawing
pay from the mines and tributary IL
dustries now than there were when the
census was taken eight months before
the strike occurred. Then ore was
coming from 1874 shafts and tunnels,
now the records give 1876 such open
ings yielding ore. Over 1000 of the
Western Federation miners returned
to work at the first opportunity. to
AA0 unn.uninu
who were thrown out of work by the
strike. These 1000 men are undoubt-
edly the best miners in the country
and the relationship between them and
their employers was never more con-
genial or pleasant than they are now.
The output of the district is stead
lily increasing, but Notwithstanding
these well-known facts, such papers as
the Denver News. Times, Western
Federation Magazine and other Social
list organs persist in their policy Of try
ing to make the people believe that
distress and misery prevail in these
camps. Along this same line the Den
yer News has been doing its utmost
to convince its readers that the mine
owners are planning to reduce wages.
Senator Patterson knows this to be
false and 80 does everyone familiar
Win the INNING SITUATION III Soiofduo.
The mine owners in Colorado in their
struggle with the Western Federation
of Miners were victorious. II they
were going to reduce wages they
would have done SO when they had
their enemy defeated and were in
position to dictate hours and wages
to their new employees. That there
was no disposition on their part to
take any advantage of their employees
is evidenced by the fact that in not
single instance where union men were
supplanted by non-union men was sal
airy reduced or hours increased.
The present wages and hours have
been in effect for a number of years
and has been entirely satisfactory to
the employers and all they ask is that
they be let alone and be permitted to
conduct their business without the me-
cessity of hiring armed guards to pro-
tect their interests.
When a political party gets to
point where it is obliged to use such
dishonest methods as these 1t is good
evidence that it has reached its last
line OF defense and the public may be
prepared to be deluged with these
fakes from now until the polls close.
