the secretary, L. F. Adams, showed
that there are 1884 shares in force
now Of par value of 500 each, and
loans made to the amount OF $11,
800. The dividends declared in the
33 months since the association was
organized amount to $16O7.7o, or an
average of over IL per cent per an
mum. The expenses for the past six
months were $32.25, showing con
clusively that the association is run
for the benefit OF the stockholders
and not to enable the officers to draw
large salaries.
This institution Is exclusively a
home concern organized and run by
Lamar business men, who donate
their time and labor in order that
our city may have safe and reliable
savings institution, instead OF send
ing thousands of dollars to Denver
institutions whose methods and
standing are equally suspicious. No
extra charge is made by the home
association on Withdrawals or re-
payment of loans, and the 81 per

srvan st,ll In Rebellion.

Mr.. Brysn's Lincoln, (Neb.) speech
shows that he occupies in 1904 prae
tically the same position that he
held in 1895 and 1900. "The Kan
sas City platform" he says, "is
sound in every plank, and the first
act of the democratic convention
should be to reaffirm it in its entire
ty, and its next should be the addi
tion of new planks in harmony with
1t, and covering such new questions
as demand consideration" Speak
ing of the nominees, Bryan says the
convention should select candidates
who believe in the platform-candi
dates whose democracy will not be an
issue in the campaign and whose
fidelity to democratic principles will
not be doubted at the election"
Nobody will have any doubt as to
the bearing of those words. The
candidate of 1896 and 1900 will op.
pose the adoption Of any platform in
1904 except one which specifically
indorses the two on which he ran to
defeat. He will fight the nomina-
tion Of any man except one who sup
ported the ticket Loyalty in the two
campaigns. This means war to the
death against Clevelsndism all which
that represents. Everybody who
has any chance to get the support Of
the Cleveland element of the party
will, foi the same reason, encounter
the hostility of Mr.. Bryan.
Nor is this challenge by the ex
candidate a menace which the de-
mocracy can afford to ignore. Bry-
an is not looking for the nomination
himself this year. He has said this
several times, and the country is in
clined to believe him. But he in
tends to take an active part in the
nomination of candidates and in the
framing Of platforms. Moreover,

A SkILLEUL ENGINEER.

During the digging of holes for
New York telegraph poles not long
ago the workmen noticed mouse
which had fallen into one of the cavi
ties. For hours the tiny prisoner
raced frantically around the enclos-
ure Then he seemed to get over his
Mysteries and set his wits to work.
Soon he began Systematically to dig
spiral groove, round and round the
inner surface of the hole, which was
several feet deep. Night and day the
busy little captive worked away dig
ing little pockets here and there as his
improvised staircase got farther from
the ground, so that he might rest
from his hard labors. The wrokmen
kept him supplied with food, and after
the third day the indefatigable little
creature reached the top and enthus-
iastic cheering welcomed his freedom.
