Additions to the St. Martin House.

The patronage of the ST. Martin
House has increased to such an ex-
tent that Sheriff S. II. ST. Martin has
found it necessary to double the ac-
commod atoms of his pretty hosiery.
The building adjoining the hotel, here
tofore used as an Office and resi-
dence by DR.. P. T. Thibodaux, will be
converted into an Office for the ST.
Martin House, and the present office
will be used as reading and writing
room. A wing has been erected in the
rear of the hotel, connecting with the
building N ST. 5tT lex street feEaerl J
occupied as a residence by q. A.
Terrio and family, and in this way
several additional sleeping rooms
have been secured. Other improve
ments OF a similar nature are under
way, and when they are concluded
which will be in about two months
the hotel will be equipped with thirty
five guest rooms and will be strictly
up-to-date in every way. The ST.
Martin House was opened only a few
months ago, but has already firmly
established itself in the favor OF the
travelling public and is looked upon
as one of the best country hotels in
the state.

GROsVENOR GOT ANGRY.

Mr.. Grosvenor, in answer to
Mr.. Cochran, of Missouri, was
rehearsing the original interstate
commerce Legislation when Mr..
Gaines, of Tennessee, cried out:
"Oh pshaw!" When the laugh
ter which followed had subsidized,
Mr.. Grosvenor Indignantly re-
torted, that is in keeping with
the character of the position he
(Gaines) occupies"
Mr.. Gaines sought to explain
that he did not intend to be Of
fensive, but Mr.. Grosvenor would
not be interrupted.
Messrs. Townsend, of Michi-
gan, one of the authors of the, bill
under consideration, and Rich
ardson, of Alabama, occupied the
remainder of the day discussing
it, both sounding a note of warn
ing to the railroads that unless
they joined hands with congress
in the matter it would demand
more drastic legislation.
"Let the railroad comply with
this law" said Mr.. Townsend,
and voluntarily correct any evils
not covered by this bill and it will
be we'll with them. Let them
oppose its just provisions and
they will but accumulate troubles
against the day of Judgment"
Before taking his seat, Mr..
Townsend, in reply to Mr.. Rich
ardson, of Alabama, was positive
in the assertion that the bill, in
connection with the So called FL
kins act, would reach the private
car lines.
Mr.. Richardson, of Alabama,
said the demand for legislation to
regulate freight rates had come
in such an earnest way that con-
gress could not for moment dis
regard it, but he counseled
against engaging in hasty or hos
tile legislation. He was particu-
lar1y antagonistic to the feature
of the bill under consideration
providing for a special court to
pass upon rates, maintaining
that it was a departure from the
judicial system of the govern
ment. The house adjourned un-
Ill tomorrow.

parties. The rule also was de-

Look we'll to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee OF
future results. Anyone with a bad

You are at liberty to repeat what l
first stated through our Denver
papers about Doans Kidney Pills
in the summer of 1899, for 1 have
had no reason in the interim to
change MY opinion of the remedy.
l said when first interviewed that if
l had a friend and acquaintance
suffering from backache or kidney
trouble l would unhesitatingly ad-
wise them to 60 to drug store for
Doan's Kidney Pills and take a
course OF the treatment. l was SUBJ
ject to severe attacks of backache for
a considerable length of time, al
ways aggravated If l sat long at a

promised they might at least help.

SHOULD STOP NOISE.
this country

For the past two or three Sundays
people having occasion to go to the
post office have been greatly annoyed
by the crowd of news boys and a
lot Of hoodlums who gather about
the door. The competition of the
newsies is SO fierce. that it often leads
to united assault upon some victim
that may indicate an inclination to
buy morning paper. The noise
made by them, and a lot of others
who mix in on the strength of the
business, is not only annoying to
patrons of the post office, but to
people half block in each direction
from the door, There is no neces-
sity for such hoodlumism, and the
attention of the city marshal is re-
spectfully called to the matter that
1t may be remedied.

Quick Marriage.

Judge James E. Garrigues of the
district court last Saturday married
T. Fl. Hall and Mrs. Jennie Dutton
Of Windsor, in one of the briefest
marriage ceremonies ever performed
In Weld county. The judge was
caught just as he was about to leave
the building for dinner, and while
Mrs. Alice NJ. Beckwith was making
out the license in the clerks office,
his honor was thinking up the neces-
sary words. District Court Clerk
Frank Madden was pressed into ser
vice as one of the witnesses, and in
less than five minutes from the time
the couple entered as two they left
the building as one.

OUT WITH BOSSES.

Had it been a national election
that had upset every previously con-
ceived idea of the result, interest
could not have been keener than
that shown in the returns from New
York City, Philadelphia and Ohio
at the elections held Nov. 8. 1t is
the greatest rebuke that political
bossism has ever received. The
triumph in New York in electing
Jerome as district attorney on an in
dependent ticket was a complete
victory for decency in politics. Nc
Clellan. who was elected mayor by
Tammany, is himself not such a bad
fellow, If any Tammany man can be
decent, but it appears from all indi-
cations now that he was not entitled
to the election after all. 1t may be
a good thing for the Knickerbocker
city to have a term Of Hearst re.
form, as between his radicalism and
the Conservatism" of the old boss
rule, New York may in four years
from now find some man like Jerome
to head its government, and give
that city it's place not only as the
first city Of the country but the
cleanest In politics as in everything
else.
The result in Philadelphia where
Mayor Weaver was reelected upon a
reform ticket was even more crafty
ing than in New York. Philadel.
phia has generally been looked upon
as a pretty decent city, although
slow. 1t is not much more than a
year ago that this city first came
into notoriety for its corruption, anG
when its dirty linen was finally
aired it was found to be about the
worst ever. Mayor Weaver who was

Cancer Cured Without a Knife

Do you know of anyone afflicted
with cancer, or tumor or any chronic
sore that never heals, that you don't
understand and your home doctor
cannot cure? If so, you should call
at l0l6 Eighth street, first house
west of Congregational church, Gree
ley, before November l5 and see one
who was healed by and now repre-
sents the unexcelled specialist, who
cures cancer without the knife. DR..

elected as gang man, and was
looked upon as an unusually pliable
tool in the hands of the grafters,
suddenly turned and showed such
strength and force of will that he
beat out the grafters at every turn,
landing several of them in jail. The
good work of publication will now
continue in the Quaker city.
In Ohio where a state election was
held, Boss George B. Cox, who was
supposed to hold every election in
the palm of his hand, was so utterly
routed that he announced his retire
ment from politics Immediately
after.
All of these things show most
hopeful condition. as it Is a sure in
dication that the people are begin
ming to think for themselves. A
great deal OF creolt, IN 1act all OF
the credit for this reform through
out the country is due to an honest
press. There are newspapers and
magazines published that are con-
trdled completely by the worst ele-
ments in politics, but the majority
are honest and conscientiously work
/! ing for purer politics, and it is theil
ability to quickly reach the masses
and bring home to them the neces-
sity for concerted action against the
public grafters that has led to the
practical overthrow of bossism in
this country.
