COLUMBUS MONUMENT.
Unveiled at Pueblo and Presented to
the City by Italians.

Pueblo, Colo.-Twelve thousand peo-
pie assembled on the Abriendo Avenue
boulevard, the grass of Royal park and
about the Carnegie library Thursday
afternoon to witness the unveiling of
the Columbus monument erected by
the Italian societies of the United
States. The monument had been
draped with American and Italian flags
so arranged that by the pulling of n
cord they fell to the ground at the
base of the monument.
C. F. Delaquadri, acting as master
of ceremonies, introduced Miss Lima
Chairiglione, who, after few remarks.
unveiled the monument. The young
ladys father, who is president of the
United Italian Societies of the United
States. formally presented the monu-
ment to Mayor John T. West. The
mayor accepted it in a well-worded
speech
At the conclusion of the mayors ad-
dress Commentators Count Pascal
Corte, Italian consul at Denver, was
introduced and on behalf OF the King
of Italy and the Italian government
made a short address in English.
Thanks were expressed to Governor
Mcdonald by Angelo Noce, who pre-
sented to the Italian associations the
pen which was presented TO him by
Governor Mcdonald, with which he
signed the ,Columbus Day proclama-
tion. being the first proclamation OF
the kind in the United States.
Governor Mcdonald was represented
by State Treasurer Holmberg, the gov
ernor being i'll.
Among the countries represented by
their officials were Italy, Spain, Bel
GUM, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico,
and Norway.
Gov. Alva Adams made an interest
ing address in which he mentioned the
fact that Queen Isabella supplied the
money with which to outfit the Colum-
bus expedition and added that when it
comes to looking into the source of
any of the worlds great achievements
they generally are traced to women.
Senator Cashmere Barela of Trini-
dad addressed the crowd along the
same line. claiming for Spain an equal
share in the credit of the new worlds s
discovery by virtue of the assistance OF
the Queen of Spain.
AT the banquet which was held i'm
mediately after the unveiling, and to
which the assembly marched, accom-
panied by five bands and the societies
in uniform representing various organ
iZations throughout the state, Presl'

oregon Congressman Indicted.

Portland.-John Newton Williamson,
congressman from Oregon for the Sec
ond district, was Sentenced in the
United States Court to-day to serve
ten months Imprisonment and pay a
fine of $500. He was lectured by the
court for failure to set good example
to others from his exalted public po-
sition.
Marion r. Biggs, eX-United States
commissioner, was taxed by the court
with similar dereliction of duty and
given an equal penalty, but in the case
of DR.. Van Gesner, convicted of being
fellow conspirator to suborn perjury.
on account of age and feeble health,
the term of Imprisonment was cut in
TWO and the fine doubled.
Appeals are pending and a stay of
execution was made pending a further
order of the court. Meanwhile. Con
gresham Williamson will so free on
his own recognizance, but a bond of
$4,000 was required of the other two
defendants, as during the trial of the
case. As the term of imprisonment is
iols than one year, the sentence must
be served in the county Jail

Peat Swamp Near Concord.

Commercial utilization OF unnurh'
bered billions of tons of peat, lying
waste in swamps and marches in every
part Of the earth; creation of formid'
able rival to coal and to water power
as the favorite means of carrying on
the worlds industries; invariable as
sstance to manufacturers in sections
that have heretofore been far from
their sources of supply of combustible
fuel-this, the real beginning OF long
heralded era of mud-burning, may
prove to have been accomplished at
historic Lexington, on the verge OF
swamp which Lord Percy's troops
skirted on their eventful march to and
from Concord.
The motive power department OF the
Boston and Maine has now for several
weeks been trying this fuel on shifting
engines and for short local runs. 1t
has been found that the peat briquettes
make an exceptionally hot fire and that
the cost is less than that of coal, while
hardly any smoke comes from the
smokestacks. The only disadvantage
that has appeared is one that Will nor
mally disappear il the use of the bri-
quette ever becomes universal-peat
fuel cannot be used in connection with
coal in the same locomotive: either the
one kind of fuel must be employed or
the other.

covered for those sciatic pains that
make so many lives miserable is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. S. Colson.
well.known resident OF this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is SO firm in his opinion
Is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking of the matter he
says:
81 am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots OF
good. had awful pains in my hip so
I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. think they
are a grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are

Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric Acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no

IDENTIFIED AS FRANKLIN.
Alleged Murderer Of Bessie sou.on
Turns Up in California.

San FranGisco.-William Curtis,
anas, Brush, who robbed and at
tempted to murder w. C. Ellis, an Aus
tralian horseman. in an empty house in
Berkeley Wednesday last, is believed
to be Milton Franklin, alias George
Barnett, alias Milton Franklin An
Andrews, wanted in Colorado for the
murder at Mount Cutler October 3,
1904, of Mrs. Bessie Bouton. The local
police have been enabled by Sc
ries of curious circumstances and pc
culiar characteristics to make the iden-
tincation almost certain. After the rob
berry in Berkeley Curtis and his female
accomplice escaped, but they are be-
lieved to be near here, and their early
capture is expected.
In the identification bureau o. the po-
lice department there is II detailed de-
scription of the Colorado murderer,
VINO had physical peculiarities that
marked l1m among men.
Certain body measurements and
marks on Andrews have also been OBJ
served on the Berkeley criminal. and
an excellent photograph of Andrews
furnished by the Colorado authorities
has been positively recognized as that
of the man calling himself Curtis or
Brus-., who came to this city from Aus
tralia with Ellis, and, with Il handsome
woman as confederate, lured Ellis TO
2214 Ellsworth street. Berkeley, planned
his murder aryi dismemberment. and
nearly carried out their diabolical plot.
According to Ellis, whose additional
story has given the police the oppor-
tunity to trace the movements of
Brush and the woman ever since they
left Colorado Springs, Brush made a
confession to him October Sd. when he
spent the night in the house rented by
the pair in Berkeley. Ellis said that
Andrews told him while Brush and
the woman were in Denver she went
out disguised TO procure food, going
about the city without fear of detec-
ton.
In the antipodes Brush lived under
the name of Clayton Hill. which he
told Ellis was his true name. Brush
told Ellis his reason for hiding in Den
yer was to escape the police. who
wanted him in connection with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from a Denver
firm. 4 young man was arrested for
the theft and Brush stated that he had
secured the money from him in card
game.

Unprecedented prosperity is the
present lot of the United States of
America, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A greater prosperity is the
promise of the immediate future. The
year 1905, just turned into its last
third, already has smashed records
right and left. Everything that goes to
make up business and industrial life
is on the boom, and the barometers of
finance, of commerce, of agriculture,
of building and of manufacturing, one

skies. There isn't a cloud visible any
where on the horizon.
Business has been forging ahead by

QUEST OF NORTH POLE.
Plan for International Direction OF
Polar Exploration.


1t is practically certain that within
a comparatively short time some eA-
plorer will reach the North fole.
In 1899 Captain Cagni of the Italian
expedition was within 1856 miles of the
most northern extremity of the earth
and 1t is quite probable that some
member of an expedition now in the
arctic regions will make new record
even If the pole itself is not reached.
An interesting development in the
plan of exploration has just been set
forth by the International Congress OF
Economic Expansion in its convention
at Mons, Belgium, which adopted mo
tion approving plan for international
direction of polar exploration and ask
ing Belgium TO take the initiative IN
inviting the cooperation of other na'
tionS.
The discovery of the North Pole is
now n matter of systematic and per
sistent effort, rather than of bold cour-
age or good luck. Or, to say the same
thing in other words, the discovery is
largely a question of the amount OF
cah available for this purpose. If the
amount that has already been spent
for this purpose without success were
now available in a lump sum, there
is little doubt that the pole could be
| discovered. Any government of
| first-class power could send an expedi
ton to the pole. if it were worth the
| cost 1t is not probable that there are
any difficulties or dangers to be en-
| countered in the 236 miles remaining
| that are any greater than those that
have been already successfully over
| come.
The old myths and terrors have no
| -, t,, solo n |
would be transcendent surprise il
any phenomenal features were found at
or near the pole.
The problem is largely one of COM
missariat. 1t is a question of supply
ing the provisions, clothing and other
| supplies necessary to keep men alive
for the time necessary to go from the
northern limit of ice free navigation
TO the pole.
Secondarily it is problem of trans.
portation, for the supplies and for the
| explorers. Given an unlimited treas
ury, and a series of food stations could
be established and regular traffic main
tained between them as far as the pole
itself
The United States government could,
| if it desired to do so, establish n mail
route to the North Pole, and keep it
going with reasonable regularity and
frequency.
The reason why North Pole eXplor
ers have failed is simply because they
have not employed the means neces.
sary to accomplish the desired result.
If the plan of international exploration
| is undertaken in earnest, it is certain
that the North Pole will be reached
Whether it will be worth what it costs
