Why Not See Mexico.

Forty eight hours travel will take you
from the cold clustering northern winter
to a land of sunshine and flowers. What
Egypt aud India are to the old world
Mexico is to the new. "A land OF sun
shine, redolent with flowers; a land OF
gay costumes, crumbling churches, and
old converts; land OF kindly greetings,
of extreme courtesy, Of open broad hos
pitality. 1t was more than enough to
revel in an Italian sun, lighting up a
mitropical land; to look up to white
capped peaks, towering into blue; to
look down upon wind-swept plains en-
circled by ragged chains Of mountains;
and to realize that today, in its varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, street life
canals crowded with fower.laden boats,
market plazas thronged with gayly
dressed natives, faded church interiors,
and abandoned converts, Mexico is the
most marvelously picturesque country
under the sun. A tropical Nenice, a
semi. barbarous Spain, new Holy
Land" For rates and information

Girl choked Mink to Death.

Miss Ada Newberry, who lives with
her parents about two miles from this
place. deserves credit for an act of
bravery on her part. Wednesday
morning about 2 o'clock she was
awakened by the noise Of a number of
chickens in the coop out in the poul.
try yard.
Rising quickly and going without a
light to the place whence the noise
came, to her surprise she found a
large mink devouring the chickens
Regardless of danger. she thrust her
hand into the chicken coop. grabbed
the intruder by the neck, and in spite
OF his determination to scratch and
bite her. she choked the animal to
death.-South Boston, Va, correspond.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention OF
articles Of minor importance. Many OF
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and .one OF the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 80. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruG, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec.
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight lhnir curly in %
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap.
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell on sight. Send for

Scenic Route to Cripple Creek.

vice to Cripple Creek district points in
connection with the Cripple Creek Short
Line &c. s. & G. G. D. Ry.) This will be
the most popular and convenient route

The trip from Colorado Springs to
Cripple Creek via the Short Line is con-
ceded to be the most facinatlng trip in
the state. This together with the other
delightful scenic trips on the Colorado

Mining men, representing east

deals have been made and three or
four idle mines will be started up

The mind of the average person
could hardly conceive of a more
cowardly murder than that COM
mitted by johnson in Trinidad
last Saturday on the person of
John Fl. Fox. There appears to
have been no provocation for the
killing whatever and the only rea-
son the murderer can give for per-
petrating such a dastardly act is
that he was mad. The excuse is
as fiimsy as the deed was enor-
nous in its cold -bloodedness.
John Fl. Fox was a prominent
Democratic politician and was
widely known throughout the state.
Many of the residents of Central
City knew him we'll and were in
deed shocked when they heard of
the cowardly affair.

Chairman Farley of the Repub-
lican state committee issued a
statement last week in which he
attempts to cover up the acts of
certain Republican Legislators in
ignoring the will of the people
and ousting Alva Adams. He in
sists on all Republicans getting
together and try and recover the
prestige they lost through the gi-
gantic governorship steal SO the
party will be victorious in 1906.
His plea was pitiful one and
while it may bear some weight
with the dyed in the wool" mem

ALLEGED TO HAVE MADE
FIFTEEN BOGUS CHECKS
Fraudulent Paper Passed Upon Mer-
chants Said to Have Been Traced
to Girl Employe.

Fifteen checks for SO each, and with
James W. Hendley's name signed to
them, are alleged to have been passed
on Washington merchants by Mabel
Florine, a former employee, who is said
to have admitted her guilt. Her father,
John H. Florine, employed as a watch
man, was informed OF the affair by De-
tective Hewlett. who investigated the
case. He is said to have made good the
aggregate amount of the checks. and
Mr.. Hendley will not prosecute the
young woman
Last night Mr.. Hendley informed Cap
tain Boardrlan that Miss Florine had
signed his name to number OF checks
which were forgeries. It is said she
made out all the checks for $40, because
that was her weekly salary, and she
always received a check for that
amount with Mr.. Hendley's signature
on It. Yesterday afternoon she present
ed a check at a department store. and
a suspicious floor-walker communicated
with MIR. Hendley at his home, 2so6 p
street northwest and asked If the check
was good Mr.. Hendley replied in the
negative. The forged paper was re-
turned TO the young woman, who then
went to an express Office, where she got
cash for Il. Some time ago Mr.. Hend-
ley discovered upon looking over his
account book that some one else was
helping him draw his money, and or
dered the bank to stop payment on all
checks with his name on them.
Detective Hewlett said last night tie
young woman's father had made all
amends within his power and there
would be no further police action.
