Sanitary Conditions.

Blessed in superior degree
above the general run of Plains
towns in the way Of drainage, yet,
we still fall short in the way Of
proper sanitary conditions. With
no city corporation and hence no
sanitary regulations, it falls upon
the individual to do his part TO-.
wards preserving the health OF the
town.
A general di>infecting of "out-
houses" burning or otherwise de-
stroying all decaying animal mat
ter and the putting away securely
of all other manner of fifth and re-
fuse is necessary in dry weather
and much more so under present
conditions-clean up and disinfect
your premises and do it now.
Were it not for the disregard, al
most criminal, in its nature, that
man has for natures laws sickness
would be reduced at least two hun
dred per cent and death itself would
be rare unless from organic inper.
lection or old age.

WhOoping Cough.

The quick relief afforded by
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in
cases of whooping, cough makes
it favorite with the mothers of
small children. 1t liquities the
tough mucus, making it easier
to expectorate, keeps the cough
loose and counteracts any ten
dency toward pneumonia. This
remedy has been used in many
epidepics of whooping cough
and always with perfect success.
There is no danger whatever
from the disease when it is free
ly given. 1t contains nothing
injurious and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an
adult. For sale by S. V. Writ,

TRUSTEE ELECTION.

The terms of four of the mem
bers of the Canyon City lndepend.
ent school district board expired
April ii. To replace these gentle
men an election is to be held at the
Court House, Saturday, May 6.
The outgoing trustees are l.. T.
Lester, B. Frank Buie, R. w.
O'Keefe and A. E. Uphold; all
good men and each of them has
done faithful service on the school
board and our citizens. perhaps,
could not do better than return
them.
To the present board of trustees
the town owes, in a large measure,
our magnificent school building, no
little undertaking either, for any
executive body to carry through
successfully. Again, we owe to
the gentlemen composing the pres
ent board, much for the success of
the present term of school, admitted.
~ by consensus of public opinion,
one of the best in the history of the
town.
To carry on this good work so
we'll begun and so efficiently car
ried out thus far by the old board
we must continue good men in office
and not only good men, but men of
public spirit whose interests are en-
tirely with the town and in keeping
also with the progressive move
ments of the age.
A good school is an absolute
necessity to the proper growth of a
community and to get such an in
Stltuton auu keep II we must nave
capable board of trustees. These
things we now have and let the
citizens of the district see to it that
failure comes not through their alb
sence from the polls-eternal vigi-
lance in this as we'll as other things
inSureS success.
To this end-to keep and pre-
serve first class school, such as
we now have-come to the cleo
ton at the Court House on the 9th
of May and see that none but the
right men are elected.

"Only two more licenses to wed
can be issued under the present
law" says the County Clerk, and
those in need of such articles had
better call right away. Those
issued under the new law require
publication of the bans for three
weeks in a newspaper, and this,
says the same authority, will be a
costly proceeding.

C0ssacIk Exceaaea.

London. March 17.--From a dfspatch to The Daily Telegraph from Sinmin- tin. descriptive of tho fighting around and the fall of Mukden, it appears that General kuropatkin left for Tie Pass on horseback on March 8, his staff following by train the next day. On March 10 Cossacks began footing in Mukden and, maddened with drink. committed the widest excesses and roooeries and killed numerous civil lans. The Russian retreat from Muk- den station was well executed until it was discovered that the cordon of Jap- anese in the rear, two and a half miles from town was nearly complete when the retirement became a flight
 The Russian left army, comprising 15O,0OO men, according to the same dis patch, were cut off by the Japanese but are said to have, by forced marches from Fushan and Tung Flu, by way of La Chiatun, Wayanocheng and Sunchl- ati, splendidly executed junction with the main body at Tie Pass in three days.
 The correspondent at Tokio or The Daily Telegraph. learns that the Japa- nese left army moved towards Mukden at flying speed and the last four days covered, respectively thirty, thfrty-five. twenty and ten miles. One force was sent specially to search for General Kuropatkin and his staff but they had already gone.

Line Along the Eastern Alps h to Be
 Strengthened.
 Rome, March 16.-In view of the 1n- ternational situation, which has pre- vailed since Italy entered the triple al- liance in 1882, she has entirely neglect ed her fortications on the eastern from tier, centering all her efforts on forti- flying the western frontiers, as Italy's s relations with France were then So strained that under Premier Crispi d conflict seemed imminent.
 Since 1899, however, the most friend- ly relations have been re-established with France and the opinion now pre- vails here that all the Italian frontiers should be equally protected, not for aggressive purposes, but so that Italy may be ready for all possible occur rences.
 Consequently. the proper authorities have been studying the best method of ensuring the safety of the peninsula along the Eastern Alps, which arc strategically Italys weakest point, as Austrian territory so projects into Italy as to enable a hostile army to be in the heart of Lombardy or Veneita after few days march. Therefore, d bill will be presented to Parliament making the necessary appropriation for the Qualification of the Italian frontier in the direction of the Eastern Alps but any uneasiness on the subject of Austria Is not Justified, Italy,s object being merely defensive.

 A LYNCHING STUNT,
Omcers' Posse Kills Two Negroes and Brings Two Others Back to Be Incarcerated - Excite
 memt PPevadla.

vicksburg, Miss. March 1s.-A spe- Miss, says:
 Officers who went from here this morning to arrest the negroes who shot Deputies Duke and Leonard at Dudley last night returned tonight with two dead negroes and two pris- ouers.
 The officers were met at Dudley by 8 posse and went to the house where the negroes lived, intending to make the arrest as quietly as possible in or der not to stir up more excitement than necessary.
 Officer Jones went alone to the house for this purpose. One of the negroes came out and the officer told him quietly that he had a warrant for him and took out a pair of handcuffs. The negro immediately fired at the officer, but missed him. Officer Jones returned the fire and killed the negro at the first shot.
 The posse. which was on the other side of the house. hearing the shots, came up. Immediately a storm of bull lets were fired from the windows of the house and from a cotton pen close by. The posse returned the fire. kill ing the negro who was shooting from the cotton pen.
 The posse then surrounded the house and captured two of the negroes, the others escaping into the woods. The two prisoners were brought to Green vile this evening and lodged in jail. Much excitement prevails and 1t Is feared that the affair will lead to even more serious results.

MURDERED IN HOTEL.
Young Woman at Newark, N. J., Bru
 tally Choked to Death.


 tally Choked to Death.
 Newark, N. J.. March 16.-A young woman was apparently murdered some time last night in a hotel here which had its license revoked a week ago, but which was still doing business be- cause the limit of license had not yet expired. The woman is supposed to have been choked to death by a male companion who left the hotel after having locked the door behind him. No one saw him leave.
 The pair engaged a room at the hotel for twenty-four hours on We'd nesday night and registered as D. Ed wards and wife. The man left the ho- tel about 10 o'clock but returned in a few minutes with a package he said contained headache powders. Nothing further was heard of the pair until tonight when the twenty-four hours had expired. A brother of the proprie- tor of the hotel, receiving no response to a knock. forced an entrancethrough a window.
 The woman lay dead on the bed, fully attired except for hat and coat. She lay face upward and there was a pill low across her face. A mark was found on the left side of the throat which appears to have been made by a finger and thumb.

DENIED BY CORTELYOU.
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN SAYS HE
 WILL CERTAINLY RESIGN.
Believed That New Postmaster General Intends to Make Clean Sweep of Bureau Heads in His
 Department.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building.

WdsuiHStOn, hdarcn 10.
 Postmaster General Cortelyou contra diets the report published today to the effect that he has reconsidered his de- termination to resign his position as chairman of the Republican national committee.
 There has been no change in the plan," he said, T shall retire from the chairmanship, I cannoa say just when, but before 8 great while"
 It is expected that MT. Cortelyou may announce at any moment the ap- pointment of an acting chairman. Mir. Cortelyou has bean given to understand that Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. would take the chairmanship should 1t come to him internationally. Since Senator Penrose is chairman of the Senate committee oE postal affairs, 1t will require some backbone on the part of Mir. Cortelyou to ignore the sugges- tion. Should Senator Penrose land, 1t would be first blood for Foraker in his Presidential boom, for 1t Is reported that he already has Ohio and Pennsyl- vania pledged to his support.
 In the postoffice department Secrs- tary Cortelyou is expected to make a clean sweep. so far as heads of bureaus are concerned. First Assistant Hitch cock was sworn in today. The ap- pointment of P. V. Degraw makes pro- visions for Bristow's place. Second Assistant Shallenberger and Third As- sistant Madden are also, 1t is stated, scheduled for dismissal.

MET IN COMMON CAUSE
FOES FORTY-ONE YEARS AGO, TWO
 NOW PLEAD TOGETHER.
An Interesting and Romantic Tale Con ceruink Representative Hearn of Illinois and Chief Door
 keeper Harlan.

oprinRffeld, III, March 1.-Two sol diers, one a private in. Missouri regi- ment with Zoe" Johnson, the other a captain in an Illinois regiment with Sherman, talked with each other Forty-one years ago inside the Con- federate line at Kenesaw Mountain. The "Johhny" was a guard over the dead of the Union regiment. fallen within the lines in the desperate charge of McCook's brigade The Union sol dier sought his brothers body and permission to remove it for shipment to his old home in Illinois.
 Today the two men met again. this ttme in stuffy committee room on the assembly chamber of the State capitol, both to plead a common cause. They asked the House Appropriations Committee to take favorable action on bill carrying an appropriation for the erection of a monument on Kenesaw mountain to commemorate the deeds of Colonel Dan McCook's brigade in that belt and had the satisfaction of seeing the bill go to the House with . committee recommendation that $20.- 900 of State funds be appropriated.
 The Confederate was Representative Campbell & Hearn of Quincy. Ills. The Federal was Captain Ed. Harlan, chief door keeper of the House, a State Sena-
 
 war of the rebellion and a member of the 2ist Illinois. General Grants first regiment. Harlan lost two brothers in the fight at Kenesaw. To the listening committees members and to other members of the House who crowded in. attracted by the debate. he told of the long march of Sherman's army. of the charge and repulse at Kenesaw, the hurriedly thrown up en- 1A AL~ t.Ak <zRk kA- and of the days and nights spent in swamps, with the final decision of Sherman to break away from his own lines of communication. resulting in his march to Georgia. He told of the mortal wounding of Colonel McCook. of the death a few moments later of Colonel Harmon, who assumed com mand as the troops scrambled through the brush and abbatis. and concluded with a plea for a monument to the memory of the Illinois men who fell there.
 Then Mir Hearn got up and told of how Harlan had come inside the Con federate lines seeking the body of his dead brother. He wanted to ship it back to Illinois. Permission was re- fused by General Johnson. and General Sherman had also refused to do any thing more, understanding why Gen. era1 Johnson could not give permis- sion in war .s.=...
 Then it was" said Mir. Hearn. q am sure, that German Sherman first said that war was hell.
 Well 1t is over. l am glad 1t ended as 1t did. I am glad that 1t ended rightly. Disruption would have been a great injury. know no North or South now. Captain Harlan and I are old men. We have the same country. the same flag. the same opinion of the sentiments which actuated the men in that great struggle. I would like to see this monument erected and hope it will be-"

 The breeders" law, which allowed book making and pool selling on horse races in certain enclosures in the State was repealed several days ago. The repeal will become effective ninety days after the sine die adjournment of the legislature.
 The measure adopted today will, if it Is signed by the Governor, place a ban on book making throughout the State both on races run in Missouri and elsewhere, so far as betting in this State is concerned.

Conveyed by Flea Bites.

New Haven, Conn. March 16.-Pro- lessor Addison E. Verrill. curator of the Yale geological collection. in a public statement, advanced the theory that spotted fever" of which there are many cases in this city at present, is probably conveyed by the bites of fleas. or similar insects. Professor Verrill, after discussing the propagation of va- rious other diseases, says:
 Tt seems very probable that the spotted fever now prevalent in New Haven, Is caused by a minute blood parasite which may be conveyed to healthy persons by the bites of infect ed neas. This method of infection would best explain the scattered and irregular distribution of the cases and the greater freqeuncy of the disease in unsanitary localities
