Mortality in the Army.

The splendid efficiency of the Japa-
ness medical service in the recent war
taught military surgeons the world
over that it is no longer necessary for
an army camp to be one vast hospital,
and in no country was this lesson more
needed than the United States. Ac-
cording to figures printed by the New
York Globe 110,070 Union soldiers
were killed in action or died from
wounds during the Civil War, and
249.45S died of disease. In the war
with Spain, only 26S Americans sue.
cumbed to bullet wounds, while 1852
died Of disease. This is in the pro-
portion of fourteen to one, while the
proportion in the Civil War was a lit
tie more than two to one. 1t is said
that out of $4,000 French soldiers
sent to Madagascar in 1894, only
twenty-nine were killed in action or
died of wounds, but more than 1000
perished of disease

Steel HARDENING Metals.

Under the head of steel and iron
hardening metals DR.. Joseph Hyde
Pratt of the United States Geological
Survey discusses the production, uses
and sources of supply of all the min
erals mined commercially for these
metals. The metals named in the
order of the Importance of their pro-
duction and use for steel hardening
purposes are nickel. chromium, man.
ganese, tungsten, molybdenum, vana-
dium. titanium, cobalt and uranium.
AS manganese is produced in such
very large quantities for use in the
publication of steel. it's production is
treated separately in "a survey report
on manganese.
Only within the last two years have
these metals been prepared CONNER
cially as metals; they were formerly
put on the market almost exclusively
as ferro-alloys. With the Introduction
of the alumino-thermit and other pro-
cesses, for reducing oxides OF the
metals, 1t became possible to obtain
many of the so-called rare metals in
the free state, and thus many of the
steel hardening metals are now on the
market both as metals and as ferro-
alloys. DIR. Pratt describes the Gold
schmidt or alumino-thermit process,
the Rossi method and the Greene and
Wahl methods of preparing metals
and ferro-alloys.
The total production OF steel hard
ening metal ores or concentrates pro-
duced in 1904 amounted to 945 short
tons, valued at $259.620, including the
production OF rutile, valued at $1,000.
Over three-fourths OF this product
came from tungsten ores.
The states producing these ores, in
the order of the value of their produc.
ton, together with the metallic ore
mined, are Colorado, (tungsten, ura.
mum, and vanadium), Arizona (tung-
sten and molybdenum), California
(chromium). Washington (molybde.
NUM-. Missouri (nickel and cobalt)
and Virginia Oitanium).

The Billboard Nuisance.

Nothing is spared, no object in ma
ture is too beautiful and attractive to
escape the daubs of the brush or the
hammer and nails of the billboard
man, says Leslie's Weekly. Natural
scenery that would otherwise be re-
freshing and inviting to traveller es-
Gaping for a few hours from the hot
pavements and brick walls of the city
is almost eclipsed from his view by
seemingly endless stretches of garish
and obnoxious signs.
Public sentiment could be made more
effective than laws and ordinances for
the suppression of these advertising
nuisances if it would decree a boycott
against all the concerns that thrust
their wares upon public notice in this
manner. No concern. at all events, that
will permit its agents to deface and
ruin wayside trees and street cars de-
serves to receive the patronage of the
public. Either this abomination should
cease or the people should refuse to
buy the stun SO advertised. Public SEN
timent directed to an end like this
the diminution of profit-would soon
cause a revolution in the billboard

be done for me. Then l started to

that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure

BIG LAND FRAUDS.
Alleged to Have Been Practiced IN
Northeastern Colorado.

Denver-The Republican says: Gil
gantic land frauds in Washington,
Morgan and Yuma counties have been
unearthed by the federal grand jury,
and as result of these frauds, by
which the government has been de-
frauded of thousands Of acres of land,
seven Of the most prominent men OF
northeastern Colorado have been in
dicted. The frauds are asserted to
have been carried on for years, and the
chief reason that many others have
not been indicted is stated to be that
the statute Of limitations works in
favor of those under suspicion.
1t is claimed that the government
has but just begun the work, and that
before it is through more than a score
more will be indicted for their con.
nection with an alleged conspiracy.
The grand jury which returned the in
dictments has been discharged, but 1t
is probable that another will be sum-
moned to probe further.
The men indicted are Peter Camp
bell, former register of the United
States land Office at Akron. three
counts for perjury; P. E. Beeney,
county treasurer of Washington
county, two counts for perjury; A. A.
Mexican, clerk Of the District Court
of Yuma county. nine counts for for
gerry; D. W. Irwin, politician, five
counts for perjury; E. c. Stoner, a
ranchman of Otis, Colorado, one count
for perjury; w. F. Buell., hotel proprie-
tor, Yuma, Colorado, one count for per-
jury; o. P. Smith, ranchman of
Otis, one count for perjury. Capiases
have been issued in all of these cases
and have been served and the men
placed under arrest.
The system, through which it is as
serted the men indicted operated, is
said to have been worked chiefly on
timber culture claims. In the vicinity
Of Akron and Wray, years ago, entries
were made on what were known as
timber culture land.
1t is asserted that these claims,
after having been practically aband-
oned, were proved up fraudulently at
the instigation of the men who have
been indicted and for their benefit.

Ticket Brokers Quit Business.

Denver ticket brokers have been
put out of business by the re
fusal of the State Supreme Court to
grant supersedeas in the case known
as the Dixon injunction. Yesterday
was largely spent by the Denver bro
kers in packing up, and by this even
ing they will have closed their places.
In the next two years Denver will have
no "ticket scalping" excepting perhaps
sporadic cases of street trading, where
some one is willing to take chance.
There were eighteen legitimate firms
of ticket brokers in Denver. five at
Colorado Springs, two at Cripple
Creek, eight at Pueblo and two at
Trinidad. The offices averaged employ.
ment for about three people each. so
that seventy or more are let out OF
employment.
1t is hard to get at how much the
loss has been, but prominent broker
said yesterday that 1t has been fully
$4,000, and perhaps 100000.

The honor of being the largest pro-
ducer of silver in the world at the
present time rests between the Broken

dividend No. 81 of $150,O0O. This

January l, 1905, and total to date OF
$5.046,000. The mine now claims to
be the greatest single silver-lead pro-
ducer In the world. Under the man.
agement Of Stanley Easton its
monthly dividends have grown until
they are now passing the expectations
of even a few months ago, when 1t was
believed that the property would pay
$1,000,000 year. It's recent disburse-
ments of $l50.000 month are at the
rate of $1,S00,000 year. The total or
$2.775,000 since last January NSs
made possible through the distrib,i
tion Of $1,500,00O received from the,

terests of the state are going to take
possession of Denver and have a week
of it-a carnival-a mass meeting, to
urge the cause of the producer of the
the wealth of the nation, horse and
cattle show and some politics as it at
fects agriculture, together with the
formation of a large state organiza-
ton. January Goth to February
list, inclusive, will be known as

will meet, and the Western Live Stock
Association Show will be held here, to-
gether with the gathering of the Colo

:. Mr.. Richardson, who was responsible
for the call, explained to the meeting
the aim and end sought. The farmers
of Colorado were not we'll organized
for certain work. The farmer vote
numbered one-third of all and the farm
ers should have better representation
at the state house.
A general discussion followed in
which Farmers Week" in Denver
was upheld by everyone present as
good idea.
Mr.. Richardson explained that a
humber of societies connected directly
or indirectly with the farming inter-
ests had already set the dates of their
meetings, but whenever possible these
meetings would be altered to conform
with what might be done that day.
Mr.. Newcomb moved that it be the
sense of the meeting that all the socie-
ties kindred to the farmers interests
hold their conventions in Denver be-
ginning the third Monday in January
each year. this to be known as Farm
ers' Week." and that for 1906 the meet
ing cooperate in naming for Farmers

was at once agreed to.
A committee on arrangements was
named as follows: E. NJ. Ammons,
chairman; ]. A. Newcomb and George
E. Richardson.
The railroads will be asked to give
cheap rates for the week, less than
one-half. and Denver will have to guar
antee fund of about $4,000 before the
committee will consider the matter OF
