Tainted Money Discussion.

Seattle. Wash. Sept. l6.-By a vote
of As to 10. the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign MIssions
yesterday went on record as being OPP
posed TO a further discussion OF
tainted money" in any of its phases.
This vote was not taken, however, un-
til the question had been threshed out
in all its phases and the leading Con
gregationalists of America had voiced
their continents on the subject.
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., the leader
of the minority. precipitated the dis
cussion by the introduction of the fol-
lowing resolution;
Resolved. That the officers of this
society should neither solicit nor in
vite donations to its funds from per-
sons whose gains are generally be-
lieved to have been made by methods
morally reprehensible and socially in
jurious.'

SUGAR FACTORY FOR BRUSH.
Citizens Celebrate the Success of the
Project.

Denver, Sept. 17.-A News special
from Brush last night says: To-day
has been the gala day in Brush. One
year ago the Chamber of Commerce
entered into a contract with the West
ern Sugar Company to grow 1,500 acres
of sugar beets in 1905 and $500 in the
years of 1906 and 1907.
The sugar company guaranteed the
Ierection of a sugar factory to be COM
ipleted in time to handle the crops of
1906. The soliciting committee of the
Chamber of Commerce during the last
week secured the necessary acreage
with an additional plot of $40 acres.
In addition to the above acreage they
have 1000 acres subscribed by a set
ltlement of German farmers in the east
ern portion of the county, provided
THAT a switch or stub railroad is
built into their settlement, which is
located about seven miles northeast of
here. The matter has been taken up
with the Burlington railway and the
sugar beet company, and indications
are favorable for the building of the
branch.
The Chamber of Commerce gave a
free barbecue to-day to the 200 farm,
ers who have subscribed the acreage
The dinner was served in Knearl's
opera house and the entire citizenship
tributary to Brush were present. The
general field superintendent for the
sugar company, Frank Secor, is here
and has personally examined every
acre of beets grown this year and un-
hesitatingly pronounces the sugar
beets grown in this section the best
in the state.
This acreage only requires sixteen
acres of beets to be grown on each $50
acres of land. and thus allowing plenty
of chance for the rotation of crops.
The worth of the crop now growing on
the $500 acres is variously estimated
from $4,000 to s150,00O.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. Is.
Another week of heavy receipts at
the river markets sent prices down
again about is to rs cents, and the
trading has been more or less dull all
week. The market here was active
owing to a good local demand and did
not decline SO much. some grades
even showing an advance for the week.
Good beef sold fully steady during the
first four days but on Friday offerings
were rather common in quality, which
gave buyers a chance to hammer
prices somewhat Values, however,
closed very nearly steady on the good
kinds, although others note a decline
of about a dime. Some fancy North
Park steers sold up to S4.75 and quite
a number of the choice steers offered
sold at S400@4.60. Fair to good
grades sold at s3.O0@3.90. There was
a good active demand all week for
good beef steers. Cows also sold
readily and well. Some choice ones
sold at $3.50, which is the best price
paid here this season, and a number
of sales were made at $3.00@3.10.
Bulk of the fair to good cows sold,
however. at s2.s5@2.90, with common
grades from that down. Good COWS
are about steady with a week ago, but
common stun little lower Bulls
son steady and veals were higher as
the demand is excellent and supply
light. Feeders and stockers were act
i've to the extent of the supply. De-
mand was good and most of the offer
ings sold to go to the Nebraska and
Kansas feed lots, with a few to Colo
RADIO points. Prices held up very well
considering the big declines reported
at eastern markets, but quotations are
a shade lower than a week ago. Most
of the business was done around $500
@3.z0 with the light and common stuff
at s2.50@3.O0.
Hogs were plentiful, about twice as
many coming as the preceding week
Demand was good. however, and they
all sold readily. Prices closed about a
dime lower than a week ago with S5.35
representing the top.
Receipts of sheep have been liberal
at all points last week. Prices are
generally lower the decline amounting
! to 15@25c. Demand here very good
and all offerings sold at good prices
Demand for feeders excellent but few
coming EXCEPT those already CON
tracted.

PHYSICAL Morality.

Perhaps nothing will so much hasten
the time when body and mind Will
both be adequately cared for as the
diffusion of the belief that the preser-
vation of health is duty Few seem
conscious that there is such thing as
nbvsical morality. Mems habitual
words and acts might imply that they
are at liberty TO treat their bodies as
they please. The fact is, all breaches
O. the laws of health are physical sins.
When this is generally seen. then.
and not till then. will the physical
training of the young receive all the
attAntion 1t deserves.-Dr. Youmans.

LIFE INSURANCE Cash

the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. was the star witness at yester-
days session of the special legislative
committee probing life insurance com

Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an

What other contributions to polit

Snake Bites.

The poison in reptiles is similar in
character, and produces practically the
same symptoms when injected into
man. The symptoms produced are
pain and swelling and discoloration of
the part, weak heart, fainting, labored
respiration, nausea, vomiting. To be
effectual the treatment must be imme-
diate.
If the bite is on the arm or leg. no
time should be lost in tying bandage
of some sort tightly around the limb
above the wound. rope, shoestring,
handkerchief, belt. or anything at
hand should be used. 1t should be
tied so tightly that circulation in the
limb is completely stopped. This pre-
vents the absorption of the poison In
to the general circulation. After this
thoroughly cauterize the wound with
a hot iron. or excise the wounded part
freely. If there are no cracks or
wounds in the lips, the wound may be
sucked with impunity, for the poison
is harmless in the stomach. The
bandage around the arm or leg may
be loosened a few minutes at time,
thus allowing the virus slow access TO
the general circulation.
The custom of using large quanti-
ties of whisky in cases of snake bite
is not warranted by facts. Hot bot
ties to the spine and stomach, hot wa
ter drinking, massage to the legs and
arms. and cool applications to the
head are all useful.

RRYAN's PEACE PLAN.
Suggested to President Roosevelt in a
Personal Letter.

Lincoln, Neb, Sept. ia letter adj
dressed to President Roosevelt from
w. j. Bryan in which a plan for per-
manent peace is suggested, was made
public here Thursday evening. Mr..
Bryan congratulates the President on
his success in bringing Russia and
Japan together. and says:
why not ask Congress for authority
to submit all international questions
(when agreement cannot be reached
by parties interested) to an impartial
board for investigation and report In
vestigation will in nearly every case
remove the cause of complaint and
reconcile the parties. Questions which
a nation might be unwilling to submit
to arbitration in advance could be set
tied by investigation by an impartial
international board.
at was a glorious thing to end the
war between the Russian and the jap
anese nations, but it would have been
more glorious to have prevented the
war and saved the frightful loss of
life. The moral prestige which our
nation now enjoys would in all prob.
ability enable 1t to lead a successful
peace movement.
"The congratulations which you have
recelfeu from the HeduS Vi Europedn
governments strengthen the chances
of success. If the leading nations Of
the world would enter into an agree
ment and join in the creation of such
board and pledge themselves to sub
NIT all disputes to the board for inves-
tigation before declaring war. the dam
ger of war would be reduced to min
imuJn. Few men have had it in their
mower to do so much for humanity-
will you improve the opportunity"
