Poor Remembered.

There was one happy Thanksgiving
feast in Greeley, that but few out
side of the participants know any
thing about. 1t was the distribu-
tion by p. A. Tisdel of the dona-
tions for the poor. He had four
wagon loads of good things, that had
been given by generous persons to
help gladden. the day for those who
had nothing.
AS near as could be counted,
eighty persons, young and old, called
at the home of Mr.. Tisdel at the
time specified, 4 O'Clock, and re-
ceived their proportion of the goods.
Even after that Mr.. Tisdel had a
considerable quantity left over that
he distributed among his charges the
next day.
The school children of Greeley
earned the everlasting thanks of the
poor people by their many donations
for Thanksgiving Day. 1t was the
largest donation of the kind ever re-
ceived here and p. A. Tisdel added
it to the other collections and fed
nearly 100 of the poor people with it..

Blown up Again.

For the third time within two
years the Greeley gas plant was al
most wrecked by an explosion, about
midnight Saturday night. The
east and west walls were blown out
about like they we're the first time.
The actual loss will not be great,
and but for the inconvenience to the
customers very little actual loss re-
suited.
The explosion this time was
caused by the failure of the auto
matte cutoff at one Of the large
tanks to work. The tank was filled
beyond its capacity and the gas es-
capped through the water into the
room.
E. W. Putnam who was in charge
of the plant that night discovered
the trouble and shut Off the gas by
hand, then opened the doors and fled
for safety. He had but few seconds
to wait when the explosion came
that blew out the two walls. No
body was hurt.

them from taking water out of Sand
creek, a tributary of the Laramie
and bringing it into the Poudre.
The case was decided against the
Eatons by Judge Hallett. They
took an appeal and the result was a
reversal.
When all these little threads are
gathered up the real business of con-
structing the great system will be
commenced.
The Poudre Valley ditch will
likely be extended east, as high as
the water will carry, and will prob
ably come through the country about
fifteen miles above Ault and extend
east as far as the Burlington rail-
road.

ESCAPED ONCE MORE
Fred and Louis Webber, Sr., Hit
the Trail

Fred Webber and his dad" Louis
Webber, ST., are again at liberty,
after being under arrest for couple
of days. The two escaped from
Deputy Sheriff D. F. Camp at Dem
yer while he was bringing them back
to Greeley from Rocky Ford.
Dave and his prisoners came in on
the Santa Fe from the south Thurs
day evening. They were just in
time to have caught the U. P. for
the north, without one minute to
spare. The three were standing OH
the platform ready to jump off the
instant the train stopped. AS the
train came to standstill a couple
of men suddenly pushed in between
the officer and his prisoners, and the
crowd coming out of the car at once
separated the men. The two pris-
oners, although handcutfed together,
seized this opportunity and jumped
off the train on the opposite side
from that where the officer was
standing. A friendly freight train
was standing on the track short
distance away, the two men crawled
under this and Immediately the
freight train started up, SO that
when Dave reached it he could not
crawl under without great danger of
being run over.
The men were wanted for chicken
stealing in the west part of this
county. Last summer shortly after
the arrest of the Webpers, Fred
Webber offered to take an officer to
the place OF their operations Dave
Camp went with him, and while the
former was in farm house to verify
Webber's statements, that gent sud
denly whipped. up the horses and
drove away. He had not been seen
nv the officers since then until ar
rested at Rocky Ford few days ago.
The old man was also arrested, gave
bond and then jumped the bono.
Louis Webber, jr., recently plead
guilty to the charge and was given a
light Jail sentence.

New Furnace.

The installation of new furnace
in the court house caused the few
officials who had the nerve to stay
in the building to wear overcoats
and mittens last Monday and Tues
day. Most of the offices we're closed,
but the clerks Office was open for re-
ception of instruments, the clerks
working with heavy wraps on.
1t was the intention Of the COM
missioners to make the old furnace
do until spring but lately it took to
leaking so badly that the fires would
often be put out by the water. 1t
was then a case Of have to and they
did.

JOLLY FAIR
BIG CROWDS ATTEND THE
EVENT IN NEW ARMORY
St. Peters Catholic Fair Proving
Great Drawing Card-Some-
thing New Every Day
and Evening

A hot old time has been enjoyed
by hundreds of Greeley people at st.
Peters Catholic fair in the new
armory for the past week.
The fair opened last Friday even
ing with good sized crowd, which
has been increasing steadily ever
since. This is the largest fair of the
kind ever held in Greeley, and it
lasts the rest of this week.
There are booths with practically
everything that the heart can desire
and the pocketbook stand. But it is
all for sweet charity, so that If the
goods are unusually nice and the
young ladies in charge still nicer and
you are tempted to buy something,
it will really not hurt you.
The booths are in charge of the
following ladies':
Fancy work-Mrs. Thomas Cahill.
Refreshments-Mrs d. r. Nc
Arthur, Mrs. ID. G. Thompson, Mrs.
Matt Ryan.
Lemonade and punch bowl-Miss
Katheryn Beck and Miss Eulalia
Borach.
Ice cream-Miss Ethel Bolten.
Doll booth-Miss Alice johnson
and Miss Ella Nash.
Candy and tlowers-Mrs. Michael
O'Grady.
Fish pond-Master Alex Gates and
Margaret Macarthur.
Fortune teller-Mrs. Beulah Stof-
fer.
For amusement also there are
moving pictures, different views each
evening. Some of the finest pictures
ever shown III Greeley can be seen
here without extra charge than the
one admission to the big show.
Also. there is dancing every evening.
After the people have watched the
pictures and pretty things In the
booths as long as they want to, the
musicians strike up merry waltz,
and away the young folks whirl for
a couple Of hours. The next evening
the routine is somewhat the same,
but then new novelties are intro
duced to keep up the interest. Last
evening it was grand costume ball.
But the thing that excites the
most interest of all is the diamond
ring contest between Miss Cora Balm
bridge of this city and Miss Blanche
Neimeyer of Evans. The two young
ladies' are favorites in the church
and scores of their friends are out
working for them. The vote is rum
ming up high and there Is positively
no telling as yet which will be the
lucky one.
Some of the men folks who are
assisting Rev. Father A. B. Casey
are Thomas Lavelle, as secretary
Patrick Bready and Bernard Coyle as
door tenders: Thomas Cahill and
Albert Onstine. floor committee
Leo Applegate, cloak room, and Will
liam Ray, balcony.
Some out of town talent has been
assisting in the entertainment.
Tuesday evening Father O'Farrel
Of Denver, one of the best singers In
the church, was here and gave sew.
eral solos. Clyde Hackney OF Den
yer was here Monday night and
sang, and so on, something new each
evening.

SUPERIOR WATER, LIGHT AND
POWER COMPANY,
1518-20 Tower Avenue,

The public service corporations Of
Duluth and Superior are noted for the
liberality and fairness with which they
deal with their patrons and with the
general public, and in no instance is this
fact Of more general application than
in it's connection with the Superior
Water Light and Power company. This
company has spent an immense sum of
money to fit up it's plant and to keep
its equipment modern and up-to-date,
and is recognized as a company which
always endeavors to keep abreast Of
the improved methods which are dis
covered from year to year in the light

SUPERIOR MAKES RAPID
IS PROGRESS AS A CITY
Honest Business Methods and Fairness the It's Mer
chants Conduce to Healthy
Growth,

IAN examination of present cOndi-
tons and a brief glance at the past
proves a glorious and successful future
for Superior. In the early settlement
of Northern Wisconsin, an inspired
judgment selected Superior as place
destined to be known among the places
Of the earth as a great city, a home
for labor, a center for development Of
great business enterprises. Their pre-
Giction has been more than verified"
This is the tribute which has been
paid to the city Of Superior by Con-
gresham John F. Jenkins and the city
has deserved the praise which has
been bestowed on it. From an obscure
village it has advanced with rapid
strides to a bustling, growing city
which is making it's position known
among the municipalities. Already the
name Of Superior is synonymous with
commercial enterprise and immense
lake traffic and it's shipyards have
made it known from one end Of the
country to the other.
Superior is admirably located for the
reason that it is over 300 miles nearer
the great grain fields Of the Northwest
than Chicago, and as a result it is
rapidly forging to the front as dis
tributing point for the Northwest. The
business which Is done by the port Of
Superior is so great that few strangers
can grasp the fact that city so young
should occupy such an important
place in the commercial world. Even
in 1899 when the city was barely IL
~
100000 bushels Of grain to the east.
It is only natural that city which
transacted so much business with the
outside world should have money to
spend with it's own retail establish
n1ents. Local people have followed the
motto to "patronize home industry"
with the result that great mercantile
establishments have grown up, where
people have all the advantages Of
buyers In large cities. Not only do
they have the variety from which to
Select, but the prices are reasonable
and the inducement to go elsewhere
is removed.
Superior is essentially a city Of
ing man. There are no inflated realty
values, although the market has been
steady and firm and investors have
secured satisfactory returns. Still
residence property is within the reach
Of all and many Of the men who labor
in the mills and factories have been
able to erect their own homes and
avoid the necessity Of paying rent.
A feature which has been important
in conducting to the growth of the city
is that there have been few clashes
between employers and their men and
the business paralysis which comes
from long drawn -out struggles of this
nature has been avoided.

MIssABE G. NORTHERN
RAILROAD,

Few cities surpass Duluth in the way
Of metropolitan facilities. She Is
abreast of the times in every sense Of
the work; street railways, telephones,
electric lights, water works, banking
and hotel accomoda tons, ETC., all Of
the very best and latest improved, COM
pairing favorably with cities Of twice
its size; these have constituted an at
traction which has caused the location
of many business houses and commerce
headquarters in this city.
On factor that has done more than
any other to give all things to Duluth
and to place her in the proud position
which she now occupies is the railroads.
Among these none is worthy of more
honorable mention than the Duluth,
Missaba & Northern railway.
This road furnishes the quickest and
most direct line to Virginia, Biwabik,
Mountain Iron, Hibbing and all points
on the famous Missaba range. Passen-
ger trains arrive at and depart from
the union depot and consignments of
freight will be received at the North
ern Pacific railway.
It should be the aim of our citizens
to show at every possible opportunity
their appreciation of the great benefit
this road has been-and will continue
to be-to this section of the country by
endeavoring to add to it's growth and
prosperity.
The officers of the road are: w. j.
Olcott, president; w. A. McGonagle,
first vice-president; E. 8. Kempton,
treasurer; E. B. Ryan, Jr., secretary;
Joseph B. Cotton, general solicitor; ].
w. Kreitter, superintendent; Joseph B.
Hanson, auditor and general freight
and passenger agent; John J. Thomas,
local freight agent.
The officers Of this railway are among
our most enterprising and public-spirit=
ed citizens, and may always be- depend
ed upon to use their best endeavors to
promote any movement having for it's
object the welfare Of this section of
our great state, or the advancement of
!. the interests Of any class of our citi-
GEMS.
The kind and corteous attitude which
the officers of this railroad have always
maintained toward their employees and
the public in general, is worthy of
special mention and is responsible in no
small degree for the aniable disposit-
ion and courteous manner Of every EN-
ploye throughout their entire system. y
The Labor World is well pleased to
give the Duluth, Missaba q Northern

BROADWAY LAUNDRY COMPANY
s11.s13-s15 Ogden Avenue. Superior.

There has been much advancement
made in the methods of handling
clothes in laundries during the past
few years, and in this advancement
the Broadway Laundry company. To-
Gated at Nos. oil to 915 Ogden avenue,
have taken leading part. They have
not counted the expense in adding any,
thing to their equipment which would
add to its effectiveness and to the
satisfaction Of their customers, and as
a result they are admitted to be the
leaders in their line at the head Of
the lakes. They have made it a rule
to endeavor to give their customers the
best and most prompt service and to
allow no work to leave their laundry
which would not please and satisfy
the most fastidious and critical GUS
toner. That this policy has been a
wise one is shown by the constantly
increasing business they have enjoyed,
and the high opinion in which this
laundry is held by all their patrons.
The utmost pains are taken to re-
turn every piece Of laundry work en-
trusted to them in the finest possible
condition, and every effort is made to
avoid the mistakes and the exchanges
which are SO annoying to the average
patron of a laundry. Whenever a mis-
take is made, which owing to their
careful and painstaking effort is very
seldom, this company uses every posi-
BILE effort to make the mistake good,
and to satisfy the customer. The gen.
tlemen connected with this laundry
are experienced and competent men,
who give their personal attention to
the business, and who take a personal
pride and pleasure in maintaining the
high standard which has been set by
them for all work done. The names
Of the gentlemen are:
c. F. Brown, president.
G. F.. Yale, vice-president.
D. F. Mcdonald, secretary.
w. L. Yale, treasurer.
These gentlemen are among the most
liberal and progressive business busi-
ness men in our city, and they are al
ways in the advance in any movement
for the betterment Of our citizens in
any way, and they well deserve the
high esteem in which they are held,
and the liberal patronage they have
received.
They have contributed much to the
growth and progress Of the city by their
generous treatment Of their employees
and their spublic spirit on all occas-
sions, and the Labor World wishes
them a long continuance Of their pros
porous career.
