Entertainment Series.

The Nellie Peck Saunders Concert
Company at the First Presbyterian
church last Tuesday night was the
closing number of the Y. NJ. C. A.

decessors, was a most enjoyable affair.
Consisting as it did Of piano, violin,
elocutionary and vocal selections the
program was varied enough to suit all
tastes. and, that it was appreciated.
was evidenced by the applause which 1t
evoked from the audience. which filed
the church to its utmost capacity.
The Y. NJ. @. A. enter tainment course
this winter has been a success, and the
neat surplus in its treasury bears elo-
quent testimony to its popularity with
the public. There were five numbers
in the series, every one Of which re-
ceived a liberal patronage, as they
were entitled to by their reputability
and merit. The public is indebted to
those in charge for a delightful series
of entertainments.

Wild Game Perishing
Because of Snow

The deep snow, which covers the Ar
kansas valley from L.adville eastward
to the Colorado state line, is resulting
in considerable suffering among live
stock of all kinds, particularly in the
hills where the supply of feed stoi ed
away for the winter was inadequate for
so long a siege of cold weather.
The natural supply OF food for wild
animals and birds being shut of by
the snow they have become ravenously
hungry during the past week and fear
lessly approach ranch houses in search
OF something to eat. Coyotes, foxes
and rabbits have been driven of Of
the mountains by the cold and snow
and are more abundant on the foot
hills and valley than for several years.
The efforts of the Fremont County
Game Protective Association for the
acclimation Of quails and Mongolisn
pheasants in this locality with a view
of affording shooting for hunters in q
few years has been impeded by the con
tinued snow and low temperature OF
the past month. and it is feared that
many of these birds have perished. Al
the beginning Of the winter it was esti-
mated that there were 1 200 or 1.5OC
quails, and from 80 to . 100 Golden
pheasants within a radius of two OF
three miles Of Canon City, but their
number has, doubtless, been greatly
reduced by the recent severe weather

THE CITY STREET
CAR FRANCHISE

Canon City rejoices in the possibility
of street car line.
For the money it will cost nothing
could be brought here that will add
more to the town as a residence place
than a car line.
The possibility seems to be good.
The franchise will, beyond doubt, be
granted. The people who ask for the
franchise have the money and believe
in the town.
They are good people to have inter.
ested in town and every possible en-
couragement ought to be offered for
their present proposed enterprise.

that will suppress the trading stamp
nuisance. Senator Lewis has intro
duced bill to license all firms that sell
or give away trading stamps, and he
believes his bill the only one that will
stand the test of the supreme court.
The license is so high that few people
will use them.
The bill to confine irrigation to the
summer months, in the interest of the
big reservoir companies, has been prac-
tically killed. Our people are all be-
lieved to be against it.
Senator Lewis has introduced a bill
which provides for the publication Of
the proceedings of school boards and
statement Of receipts and expenditures
by school districts These are things
the people ought to know, and it is
pretty generally admitted that the bill
ought to pass.
Representative Davis is backing the
bill to permit the counties to use con-
vict labor on the public roads. This
measure is one OF the best yet suggest
ed. and is an act of mercy for the idle
convict. Road work is the one thing .
ICON" can work at without encroach-
ing upon union labor, and If the county
pays the expense for guards and tools
every body is benefited and no one
harmed. The bill should pass.
The Republican party has promised
the state an honest eight hour bill, and
they ought to give it. But there is
strong disposition on the part Of GER
tain interests to jockey the thing in
such a shape that it will be of no value
when it is passed. All of our members
are in favor OF fair bill.

Cold IN February, 1899.

The extraordinarily low temperature
last Saturday and Sunday, which many
people seem to think has never been
equalled in the history of Canon City,
was duplicated in February. 1893. at
which time there was several days in
succession of almost unprecedented
cold. While the winters in the .Arkan-
sas valley, as rule, are among the
most delightful in the United States,
the inhabitants occasionally get blast
from Old Boreas that is almost Arctic
in its severity. Predicating an opinion
upon the records of the past it is safe
to predict that we will not have anoth-
er visitation Of such remarkably cold
weather as we had at the first of the
week for at least decade.

SUITS FILED
AGAINST PROMINENT CITIZENS

Newport KY. Dec. 30.-There was
a decided stir in Newport city hall this
afternoon when Mayor Helmbold or
dered City Attorney Thornton to file
suits against ex-Mayor r. W. Nelson
and other prominent citizens, who
have failed to pay taxes for several
years. During his entire term as may
or Nelson is said to have failed to pay
taxes. According to the city books he
owes SS75.18.
The filing of the suits today is
claimed to be spite work in that ex-
Mayor Nelson yesterday, as attorney
owners of the Newport Brass works
sued the city for $4,000 dan ages sus-
tanned through lawlessness at the

DEAD" SALOON
THE YOUNG PEOPLES SOCIETY
HELD FUNERAL OVER
ITS REMAINS.

Cincinnati, O.. Dec. 30.-A funeral
over saloon which had gone out Of
business, was the feature of the last
mid-week meeting of the Young Peo-
pies society of the Lincoln Park Bap-
tist church. When a saloon was open
ed at Laurel and Freeman avenues,
two months ago, the organization OBJ
jected on account of its proximity to
the church. A protest prayer meeting
was held one night on the sidewalk
in front of the saloon. After that the
members, as they passed the place
would stop to utter prayer or ask
a curse upon the business.
Recently the saloon was forced to
quit business for lack of patronage
and the young people pormptly held a
mock funeral over the dead" saloon.

KILLING OF FISH.
In the Mahoning River
Taken Up and Dis
Cussed by
ALLIANCE OFFICIALS

Alliance, O., Dec. 30.-The city
board of health met in the mayors
Office Friday evening and ordered all
bills paid which have been outstanding
so that the accounts will be all cleared
up for the opening of the new year.
The matter of the fish being killed
in the Mahoning river was taken up
and discussed at length. For some
time it has been noticed that large
numbers of fish in the river were being
killed and were lying upon the banks.
Various conjectures have been made as
to the cause but nothing definite has
been ascertained. 1t was thought by
some that the fish were killed by tar
from the gas works but others refute
this conjecture inasmuch as the great
er number of dead fish are found in
other vicinities. Some have offered
the belief that the trouble was caused
by the refuse from the asbestos plant
and from the lime from the sewage
disposals works.
Mayor Walker has communicated
and fish and has received word that it
it not considered in the department of
this officer to make the needed inves-
tigation and it was suggested that the
board of health of the city take up the
matter and conduct the first investi-
cation. Acting upon this information
Health Officer Welker and Sanitary
Policeman James G. Hogue were in
structed to make a thorough investiga-
tion of the matter and to make their
report to the board at an early date.
Permits to cut ice were granted to
Michener and Grove and to David
Rockhill, the places of supply having
been thoroughly gone over by the san
itary policeman and reported upon fa-
vorably..
Plumbers licenses were granted to
w. ]. James and to ]. Lehman and to
all of the old plumbers of the city for
the ensuing year.

Smith was charged with numbering his
wife in Churchville, Monroe county,
on September 8. 1897. The case piv-
oted on circumstantial evidence and
the court of appeals to sustain the first
conviction. His wife was founds NOR
tally wounded in her bedroom while
Smith was found tied to the dining
room table. He claimed that burglars
shot his wife and tied him to the ta-
BILE. over four years elapsed between
the first and second trials and several
of the witnesses died or disappeared.
Nevertheless Smith was again Convict
ed and this time the conviction is af-
firmed.
The judgment of conviction of Frank
Rimieri, a Brooklyn junk man, who
shot and killed Jacko Pinto, also a
junk man, and of Adolph Koenig, who
killed Emma Kaufman at their apart
ments in New York last May was also
affirmed. Koenig and his victim were
found in bed both covered with blood
and the latter died. Koenig contended
the woman killed herself and that he
attempted suicide. %. nap9
