COLORADO JAoUAR HUNT.
Escapiny Wild Beast Creates Terror
on a Train.

Colorado Springs, Colo, July IL
More than 1000 people and four pas
senger trains were held at tunnel No.
two miles west of Manitou, last night
by fierce South American jaguar. Be,
fore he was captured the animal
clawed Joseph Bennett of this city,
cutting q. severe cash across the right
leg. Miss Delmore, passenger on one
of the trains, became frightened and In
endeavoring to scale high cliff fell
a distance of twenty feet, breaking her
left leg.
The jaguar and a polar bear occu-
pied two compartments in large
cage that was loaded upon a fiat car
of the train belonging to the Gaskill
shows. This particular cage was too
high to enter the mouth of the tunnel
and as the cage struck the roof OF the
pletely around, and the roof torn OFF.
John Blakely, the keeper, threw on
the air brakes, stopping the train.
Then, to keep the jaguar and bear from
escaping from the cage. he threw rocks
at the bear and fired blank cartridges
at the jaguar. AS soon as Blakely
ceased firing the jaguar made jump
for liberty. He crawled under the fiat
car and, during the efforts of the circus
men to drive the animal into another
cage, Bennett received his injuries.
The animal was finally driven into
small cage, but before the door could
be closed the train started and the
jaguar again leaped for liberty. He
dashed through the tunnel, but upon
emerging at the east end found him
self in a narrow cut. After some effort
the animal was again captured and
placed in his cage.

Tooics Discussed.

Honolulu, July 15.-Secretary OF War
Taft and party arrived yesterday NOR
ing on the steamer Manchuria. Soon
after the vessel docked. the visitors
went driving to the Pail. AS the guests
of the citizens they visited local places
of interest and had luncheon at the
ROYAL Hawaiian hotel, where Secre-
tary Taft made an address.

clare they had an enjoyable voyage to

Cost of Good Government.

The greater the responsibilities as
sumed by municipalities in admins
tering public utilities, the greater are
the knowledge and vigilance necessary
for every citizen. Good government
and protection from abuse of public
trusts cost not only money but per-
sonal study and service of every one
concerned in these trusts. Bad polit-
ical organization must be overcome
by good ones as efficiently led, as we'll
equipped with money and as vigilant-
ly supported by honest citizens. This
is the most important lesson of Amer
lean citizenship. Public business will
expand and succeed just as fast as all
the people enter into active partner
ship in it, and no faster.-Congrega-
tionalist.

levin. for years the chief business
lieutenant of David II. Moffat and one
of the foremost bankers OF the coun-
try, is dead in Chicago. His death was
occasioned by enlargement of the
heart. From a messenger boy in the
Sirst National Bank to the vice presi-
dent of that bank, the close friend
and adviser of its president, the pos
sessor of a fortune estimated at $500.-
900, a counselor in large enterprises
and a recognized authority in financial
matters, the life of George E Ross
levin furnishes an interesting exam
Die of what industry. pluck, ambition
and ability will do when combined in
auch measures as he possessed.
For twenty years he was David II.
Moffat's right hand man. He was
identified not only with the First Ma

financial enterprises in which Mr. Mof-
Eat was interested. He was secretary
and treasurer of the Denver City
-rramway Company, vice president and
one of the directors of the Bimetallio
Bank of Cripple Creek and vice presi-
/ Aent of the Bank of Victor. In addi-
zion, he was connected with the Flor.
rnce G. Cripple Creek railway. the Vic
Cor Gold Mining Company, the Metal
sic Extraction Company and the Ana
honda Mining Company.
But years of constant application
began to tell upon him. In 1892 his
health became so undermined that he
vas obliged to tender his resignation
as vice president of the First National
Bank and seek relief in the therapeu-
tic springs of Germany. He partially

LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION.
Planned by Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association.

Denver, July ia movement was
set on foot yesterday which is ex-
pected to result in an annual gather
ing of stockmen in Denver from all
parts of the West, for the purpose OF
holding Hive sstock exposition In
which will be shown in competition
fat cattle, hogs and sheep and feeder
cattle and breeding stock OF all kinds.
"A meeting of prominent and repre-
sentative stockmen was held at the
stock yards yesterday morning in re-
sponse to a call issued by the Colo
RADIO Cattle and Horse Growers Asso-
citation. 1t was unanimously decided
to hold a big stock show here next
winter, probably in January at the
time of the national and state con-
ventions of stockmen meet.
Senator e. NJ. Ammons, president OF
the Colorado Cattle ana Horse Grow
ers' Association, was made chairman
of the meeting and Fred P. Johnson
secretary Senator Ammons ex-
planned the object Of the meeting.
He pointed out the fact that Colorado
and the West could make the best
meats the world knows. but that only
recently have the stocllmen attempted
to finish their own stock. For years
it has been the idea that corn was
d
cattle. In late years few pro-
gressive stockmen have been experi-
menting in feeding roots and other
grains and with wonderful results.
0,There are enough engaged in feed
ing now to make a most interesting
exhibit. But both the stockmen and
The public need educating. The stock
men want an opportunity TO compare
notes and results in feeding and the
public wants to know what constitutes
the best meats. A live stock eXposi-
ton would interest everyone and all
would learn something.
President Aylesworth of the Agri-
cultural College expressed approval OF
the project and promised that the
college force would assist in every
way possible.
Professor Carlyle, dean of agricul-
ture at the college, also expressed ap-
proval and suggested that in addition
TO fat stock and feeders, there should
be arrangements made to exhibit
breeding stock.
General Manager Ballantine of the
Stock Yards Company, President GeD-
hard of the Colorado Packing Com
pany, General Manager Boettcher OF
the Western Packing Company and
other stock yards people expressed
the greatest enthusiasm over the pro-
Ject. E. H. Grubb. John Grattan. John
Welch and other prominent stockmen
spoke in favor of the proposition and
by a unanimous vote 1t was decided
to hold the show next winter.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare a detailed plan to submit at an
other meeting to be held at the STOCK
yards on next Saturday morning, July
22d at 10 O'Clock. The general COM
