Famous Colored Company Second
Number on Exlra's Lecture
Course.

Next Thursday evening, that's the
date for the DiXies to be with us.
Backed by the bureau, which is zone
of the largest, we are claiming that
this is the best troup of colored
talent in the world. This is no idle
claim for the past reputation of the
Dixies verities it. Winter and sum-
mer, at the chautauquas and on the
lecture courses they have been in
constant demand and their time is
always full. They give an enter
tainment enjoyed by all and if they
have ever dismissed a dissatisfied
audience, that audience has never
reported. The program they give
is varied. No matter whether you
like music for musical critics with
blending harmonies and beautiful
richness Of tone and volume or just
the plain common funny selections
with no other purpose than to make
you laugh, you get just what you
want. Remember the Dixies are
entertainers of the highest order
and they will be heard at the NJ. E.
Church in Extra. Thursday, Decem-
Der I. If you miss them the loss is
yours, not ours. Tickets will be on
sale at Hansen & Cunningham.

white beds are women and girls who
are awaiting or recovering from opera
tons made necessary by neglect.
Every one of these patients had
plenty of warning in that bearing down
feeling, pain at the left or right of the
womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the
small of the back, leucorrhaa, dizzi-
ness, fatulency, displacements of the
womb or Irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an un-
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the trouble
will make Roadway until the penalty
has to be paid by dangerous opera
ton, and a lifetime of impaired useful
ness at best. while in many cases the
results are fatal.
The following letter should bring
hope to suffering women. Miss Luella
Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle,
Wash, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"About two years ago 1 was great SUI
ferer from severe female trouble, pains and
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and
finally told me that l had tumor on the
womb and must undergo an operation If
wanted to get WE'LL felt that this was my
death warrant but spent hundreds of dol
lars for medical help, but the tumor kept
growing. Fortunately l correspondent with
an aunt in the New England States, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu-
mors I did so and Immediately began to
improve in health, and 1 was entirely cured,
the tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. l wish every suffering woman
would try this great preparation"
Just as surely as Miss Adams was
cured of the troubles enumerated in
her letter, just so surely will Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure
every woman in the land who suffers
from womb troubles, Inflammation of
the ovaries. kidney troubles, nervous
excitability and nervous prostration.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all young
women who are i'll to write her for free
advice. Address, Lynn, Mass.

TWO CONFESSED MURDER.
Go to Prison for Life for Killing
Blackshire.

A dispatch from Parkersburg, w. Va.
last night says: Details of one of the most
horrible crimes ever committed in West Vir-
ginia are being brought to light In the cir
cult court of Calhoun county, at Grantsville
On the night of May 3 Henry Blackstone
a prominent farmer and miller of Brooks
Vile, was murdered by masked men IN the
presence of his wife and son. Today Lewis
Henricks and "Bub" McCoskey, neighbors
of the Blackshires, confessed that they
killed him, pleaded guilty to the charge OF
flrst-degree murder and were sentenced to
life imprisonment
Along with their confession they charge
that Mrs Blackshire hired them to kill hor
husband, promising to pay them for their
crime with the life insurance she expected
to get after her husbands DEF tn. On their
testimony the grand jury returned an In
dictment against Mrs Blackshire today
charging first-degree murder. Unless con-
tinuation Is granted by the court, which
seems unlikely, her trial Will be begun to-
morrow Henricks and McCoskey say Mrs
Blackshire concocted several plots to be
rid of her husband First they We're to kill
him with his own revolver and make 1t APP
pear to be suicide, but they found the IN
surance policy would be void IN the event
of suicide, so that was abandoned They
refused till she became insistent, they al
legged, and then they filled up on whisky
and committed the crime, while she actu-
ally held the light they testified, so they
could see to kill him.
Several times prior to the murder. they
allege, Mrs. Blackshire left window open
so they could shoot her husband as he sa.
playing domnoeS with his children, bui
they had not the heart to do so.

Special Correspondence cf The Star and the Chicago
Record Herald.
DENVER, July II. 1905.
There has been a decided change in the
methods Of mining, ranching and other in
dustries in Colorado during the past few
years. They have been brought down to a
business basis. Gold and silver mining is
now conducted exactly like coal mining in
Pennsylvania and Illinois, and the ranch
men now handle their cattle like the far
mers of New England. except upon
larger scale Economies have been intro
duced which have enabled the operators
to get out everything there is in the ore,
and have enlarged the profits. There is no
more helter-skelter recklessness.
comparison between the products OF
the several great indUstries-mneral agri-
cultural, horticultural and observation-disclosures

any other. states equal. Ten years
ago the total value of the raw products
of Colorado was returned as So, 42O,3S1 Last
year the total was s132, 1880. This year
1t is expected to. reach, If it does not sur
pass, $40 100000.
Colorado Products.
The products of gold has nearly doubled.
Silver is practically the only product that
has fallen off. Here are some of the
items for comparison:

bonds upon a charge of receiving high
grade ore knowing 1t to have been stolen.
From a set OF books examined in one as
saying office It is known that about $4,000
profit was made by the assayers In the last
six months Other books lead the officers
to believe that upward of one million dol
lars worth of ore has been stolen in the
district every year and disposed Of to assay
offices.

Methods of Extraction.

Mining in Colorado Is today on better
basis than ever before, for the reason that
operators have secured cheaper methods
of mining and extraction, and have reduced
things to a system. This applies to every
district In the state except Cripple Creek,
and changes are being rapidly made there.
Cripple Creek has been a very rich camp
place where the ore is near the surface and
large capital is not required for develop
ment. Cripple Creek has never before pro-
duced as much as 1t has this year, and 1t
promises well for the future. Several of
troubled by water, but great tunnel has
and another is contemplated which will
make a large additional territory available.
The reduction of ores by the cyanide proc
ess has been increasing, and the old dumps,
containing millions of dollars, heretofore
wasted, now being worked over with
great profit.
Cripple Creek has recovered from the eff
fects of the strike. There are no labor
troubles there now. 1t is no longer a freak
camp. Throughout all Colorado, as 1 have
said, mining Is now in the hands of bust
ness men, like the coal of Pennsylvania.
The romance is all gone The old-fashioned
prospector. with his burro loaded with
sack of flour and a side of bacon, has dis
appeared with the cowboy.
With the exception of a new country
opened up by the railroad which David II.
Moffatt is building from Denver to Salt
Lake, and small district west of Glenwood
Springs, the state has been thoroughly
proSpe cted.

Eight-Hour Law.

An eight-hour law recently passed by the
legislature is now in force at nearly all OF
the mines. 1t was enforced in most OF
them before 1t was passed 1t has been the
habit for years in nearly all of the big
mines to work three eight-hour shifts;
hence there has been very little change in
the metallic mines. In some of the coal
districts, however. there has been consid-
cradle friction, because the miners have
not understood the law They have only
recently discovered that 1t does not apply
to all labor, as they supposed, but only TO
men who work underground and in fur
naces where the fumes are injurious to the
health Hence 1t is not satisfactory to
other classes of labor, which have attempt
ed to secure its application to themselves.
The difficulties are being rapidly adjus ed.
however, and those classes of laborers that
were left out will go to the legislature
next winter for an amendment
There is a demand for miners everywhere.
because the laboring element has not In
creased with the development of the state.
