Parents Visit Grounds.

A noticeable feature at the grounds
these days are the number of parents
who visit them during the afternoon
and evening hours. They bring children
who are too small to come by them
selves and help them play in the sand
piles and swing them in the baby
swings. with which most of the grounds
are now equipped. The mothers and
fathers seem to enjoy the sport nearly
q S much as the little ones and it is not
an uncommon sight TO see a veteran
down on his knees building houses and
mOlding images in the sand. This seems
to please the children immensely

Moss Caught Fire.

Yesterday morning fire alarm
was turned in and everybody got
a move on in short order. The
residence of E. E. White was
the scene of the confagration,
and it was found that fire had
caught on the moss on the roof
of the building. It seems that
the stove pipe did not project far
enough above the roof for the
sparks to die out before they fell
on the moss and the slight breeze
blowing at the time soon famed
them into a blaze in several places.
The fire company was soon on
the ground. but Chief Berry did
not connect the hose, thinking it
advisable to set the bucket bri-
gade at work. The damage was

ssIt is an. i'll wind that blows
nobody good" is a saving that "a
certain school boy in this city
firmly believes. A day or SO be-
fore the appearance of Norris &
Rowe's circus in this city this
little lad had been guilty of a
misdemeanor at school and was
kept in by way of punishment.
This was the i'll wind part of the
story.
While wandering homeward,
pondering plausible excuse
when he arrived at his destina-
ton, he saw some little creatures
wiggling in the grass and weeds
along the edge of the sidewalk.
He realized that they were young
china pheasants and began gather
ing them in forthwith. The day
had been rainy, cold and raw,
and the little birds were chilled
until near the door of death.
There were about 10 of the
little pheasants and their captor
took them to Gene Simpson, who
inquired how he came by them
and finally agreed to take them
and give the boy a dollar or two
for them if they lived. Gene
placed the chilled birds under a
cochin bantam hen that had just
commenced to set. The hen took
considerable pursuasion before
her faith allowed her to accept
the waits. But in time she did
and is now as proud as Lucifer of
her feathery family.
Ali the birds lived, the lad
called and received his money,
went to the circus, had the time
of his life, and is now wonder
ing if it pays to be model boy.
Had he been, the chances are 10
to I that he would not have seen
the circus.

c. O. D. LIQUOR SALES.

The reversal Of the Iowa courts by
the United States supreme court in
the liquor cases will have a far
reaching effect so far as Iowa is con-
cerned. 1t will enable every express
agent in the state to become a Ii
quor dealer without paying the
mulct or federal taxes. According
to the decision just rendered, orig
inal packages may be sent G. o. ID.
from points in any hamlet in Iowa
and the express agent can let any
one he wishes have the goods for
the charges, provided the purchaser
will sign John Doe" on the receipt
for the goods.
What is known as the Hepburn
Dolliver bill, which passed the house
of representatives and is pend
ing in the federal senate, is design
| ed to prevent such shipments Of IL
quor. In the face of the supreme
court decision it seems doubtful il
congress has the power under the
constitution to pass such a law. Con
gress even has not the power to in
terfere in the commerce between
states, and the decision of the SUI.
preme court at Washington is based
on the theory that the transaction OF
which Iowa complained was inter
state commerce. .
Justice White, in his opinion, said
that the position taken by the lowe
court that the question of interstate
commerce was not involved in the
case was not tenable. That, thS
court held, was the principal point
involved. Justice White added tina
IL such a partice as that in Iowa wa:
carried to its legitimate conclusion
and the various statesgivenauthorit!
to control G. o. D. shipment Of mer
chandise from one state to anothe,
much of the interstate business o
the country would be placed at tn,
mercy of the states. .

Senate Confirms His Appointment
Senator Tillman Again Offers
Objections.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE nomination
of w. ID. Crum, a negro, to be collector
Of customs for the port of Charleston,
S. c., was confirmed by the senate in
executive session Friday by a vote Of
80 to II. Crum had been nominated
by the president three times and in adj
dition had received three recess appoint
ments. He is now serving under the
last of these recess appointments. Con-
firmation was opposed by Senator Till
man, who objected to the appointment
of a negro. Senator Tillman made a
speech devoted almost entirely to the
question of the constitutional right OF
the president to make a recess appoint
ment when no actual recess had oc-
| Cured, the senate having adjourned one
session and begun another at loon OF
the same day. He introduced at the
last session of congress a resolution on
the subject Of constructive ~recessesl
which was referred to the committee on
| the judiciary. Senator Plat Comm,
chairman of that committee, said the
resolution had been referred to a sub
committee and that he expected areport
would be made later. The race issue
| played a very Insignificant part in the
debate, which was participated in BY
fully a dozen senator's. When Crum re
ceives his commission he will be en-
titled to receive the salary which ha:

The year of 1904 has been a re-
markable one for the state Of Colo
RADIO. Labor troubles, strikes, lock-
outs, deportation, riots, martial law,
destruction of property, loss of pre-,
cious life, and ballot box stufing to a
fare-you-well. Notwithstanding all
of these apparent insurmountable OBJ
stacles, the state makes a most re-
markable showing. The dividends
