not cheap.

The controversy going on over
the action of the Public Library
Board in Denver giving the con-
tract for the building to eastern
contractors seems to have reach
ed the acute stage. AT this dis
tance it looks as if the Board were
eng very unj Justly criticised.
They have only certain sum to
spend and Colorado contractors
are SO much in excess of the sum
that they must either discontinue
attempts to build or employ one
from outside. We like to see home
industry patronized but home in
dustry should try to compete. 1t
is all rot to say that an eastern
contractor can beat our own citi-
zens in price. If the terms of Den
yer bidders are in excess of those
from the east it is almost a cinch
that there has been an attempted
hold-up. And if SO the contract
should go away from them. The
board are now threatening to
resign and probably that is the
best way out OF the difficulty.

Peculiar Malady.

Last Thursday morning ?. K.
Ashley and r. L. Mcknight drove
to Gunnison, and on the way back
one OF the horses. which belonged
to J. H. Wagner, began "acting
queerly." They reached Katie
Munch's ranch and concluded
they would unhitch the animal.
This they did, but it got away
from them before they could un-
harness it, and ran through the
brush and over rocks, seemingly
blind and crazy. DR.. Davlin re-
turning from Ohio City about mid
night, saw the horse and thought
he would drive it to town. 1t was
quite vicious as 1t would bite and
strike at him. Undaunted, how
ever, the doctor finally succeeded
it getting it started but got too
close to it, with disastrous results.
The animal kicked, striking him
on the hip which sent him onto a
rock pile and which caused other
bruises. He was able to gain his
own mount and ride home, but
was pretty badly crippled for a
few davs. The mad" horse when
found next morning. was dead

EVERY turn of the wheel in the
insurance investigation exposes
more rottenness among those sup
posed to be leading financial and
social lights. A note was shown
to Senator Depew the other day
for identification that drove the
color from his face and complete
ly paralyzed him. The prosecut-
ing attorney excused him from
answering, and explained to the
committee that the note had been
written by man whom he had
known for years as an honorable
man and he did not feel like blast
ing his reputation without first
privately investigating the case.
The incident shows that only the
surface of the insurance cess pool
has as yet been stirred.

AFTER reading Senator Patter-
sons answer in the contempt
proceedings before the Supreme
court we are of the opinion that it
is worth a year or two in Jail to be
allowed to say those things direct
to the judges, which seem to be
unequivocal contempt. in such a
way as to run no risk of additional
proceedings. The answer is a
beautiful roast clothed in the calm
and dispassionate legal verbiage
that obtains in such papers. 1t is
one roast that all of them have to
read.

IT is a fact beyond question
that the great majority of the
political corruption now existing
in American politics is due to the
abundant slush funds poured into
the treasures of rotten political
gangs by law detying corporations.
And now these same corpora
tions turn around and declare:
The American people are not
competent to manage the public
business, because of the corrup-
ton of politics. Therefore, we
must continue to manage it for
them-at the usual rates. ."-Pu-
eblo Chieftain.

Mr.. BRYAN's new grandson was

soul in peace. Whenever Mr..
Bryan is an issue in Colorado, the
result is foretold long before the

assume that the people deserted

CHILDREN'S POET.

A Missouri paper announces
that Friday, November 10, was
generally observed throughout
the schools of that state as Eugene
Field day. Money is being raised
by the school children of the state
to build a monument to Missouri's
greatest poet The city of St.
Joseph has school named for
the poet and the anniversary OF
his birth is annually observed by
the children.
1t is proper and right that the
school children.of Missouri should
cherish the memory Of the gentle
poet of children who was born
within the state. But such observ
ance ought not to be confined
to the children OF Missouri. The
memory of the man who wrote
"Pittypat and Tippytoe"-than
which there is no finer tribute to
the child IN the English language
ought to be cherished by every
child and in every home made
brighter by child's presence.
There may have been, and
doubtless are now, men 2and wo-
men who have retained their child
hearts to the same extent as
Eugene Field. but when and
where have any given expression,
with equal fidelity to nature. to
the joys, the hopes, the aspirations
and the the sorrows OF the child2
He grew to the stature of a man;
he did mans work in the world;
he was interested in the great
questions which pressed upon his
day and generation for solution;
bu: amid all he never lost his
grasp upon childhood or those
things which are OF interest to the
children. His great loving, re-
sponsive heart was ever attuned
to the key IN which the music of
childhood is writ. Throughout
his life the sound of children S
voices, their happy, joyous laugh
ter, their shrieks to playmates,
their walls of sorrow or of pain
possessed the power under all
conditions to cause his heart
chords to vibrate. And under no
circumstances did he ever fail to
make response. The picture of his
own heart was a true one which
he presented in the lines:
"On the floor, along the hall,
Rudely traced upon the wall
There marks OF every kind,
And upon my heart you'd find
Just such trademarks II you sought;
OIL how glad am It's SO, Pittypat and tippytoel"
Whatever may have been his
faults or his virtues generally, it
is undeniable that to the suprem e
love of his heart-love of the
child and of child nature-he was
steadfastly loyal under all the
shifting phases of his life This

The mine owners association
are finding their tool Peabody
quite an expensive luxury. He is
now forced to defend himself in a
damage suit instituted by Meyer
and Haywood, and is passing a
hat among his owners to raise the
little sum of $500 demanded by
John Waldron, for defending him.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Waldron travelled around the state
with Peabody during the cam
paign and told the Governor what
he might say. He, Waldron, is a
democrat who is debased enough
to sell his talents to creature like
Peabody, but we observe with
considerable pleasure that he is
not cheap.

THE question in politics at
present is who will be senator
to succeed Mr.. Patterson. Gug-

be a Democrat. Their stolen

INDIAN ATHLETICS
Strange Sports of Aboriginal Races
to be Seen at the Coming Lewis and
Clark Exposition of Portland, Oregon.


June |. to see the odd athletics
cs various American Indian tribes.
Nhese should prove of unusual inter-
est to those who have had little or
no acquaintance with these native
Americans, in the true sense OF the
term. H. w. Kerrigan, manager
of the Exposition athletic events,
pafter considerable correspondence
with Indian tribes and with Off
Gals of the Government lndain
schools, has set aside August q as
Indian Day.
= One Of the most interesting and
bewildering sports to be seen will
be a game similar to the pole and
ring contests of the white men. A
long pole, with leather thongs
wrapped about its middle, and a
ring, are utilized for the game.
With quick movement the In.
dian throws the pole SO that it trav-
els through space about a foot
above the ground, and almost
simultaneously he throws the ring.
If the ring falls on the pole or any
of the thongs, points are made.
The dexterity required to play
this game is astonishing.
There are none who are not
familiar with the good old game Of
"leap frog" in which was found
such keen delight in school days
The Indians have a game which
might be termed "leap frog" but it
is exceedingly more difficult than
the game played by young Ameri,
cans. In the Indians game, the
contestants jump over erect
figures instead of STOPPING ones.
A shrug of the shoulders will
throw the jumper off his balance.
He must needs be dexterous to
avoid being bested by the man
over whom he is jumping.
There is probably no race SO ex-
citing as the Indian pony race.
These races will feature the Indian
Day events at the Exposition.
The ponies are all sturdily built
little equines and fleet of foot, Nc
colors are used to distinguish the
riders. They appear nude, except
for loin bands. An awful whoor
and the race is on-revolvers are
not used for the start. The ponies
fly across country, their riders
yelling like madmen. Neck and
neck they run, now this one forg'
ing ahead and then another. The
motley crowd of braves lining the
sides of the course whoop to en-
courage their favorites. Bets are
made, not monetary, but for the
possible exchange of horses or o
skins or of beads. The finish il
the occasion for horrifying and
ear splitting whoops. The victor
is carried upon the shoulders Of
his enthusiastic admirers and a
general good time ends the sport
To the person who never has seer
Indian sports of any kind, thi
will prove exceptionally interest
ing.
Besides the pony races, Their
ore races afoot and endurance race
BY 7een man and horse. In tn
latter, a man races afoot agains
horse and rider, and in man,
instances he has been known tt
beat his opponents. In addition
to the athletics on Indian Day
the war dances of the tribes will b
given. Among the tribes partic
ipating will be the Selitz, klamath
Yakima, Umatilla, Puyallup anc
Chinook and student athletes from
the Chemawa, Paris, Haskell ant
Carlisle Indian schools.
