ton, reinforced by an awakened pub
lie conscience, are doing much to pre-
vent both game and fish from exter-
mination, and, no doubt, will save
them as a legacy to generations yet
unborn, although they will never be
as numerous as they were at the
time of the country's settlement.
Along the upper slopes and on the
summit of the Greenhorn mountains
deer are frequently seen in consider
able herds, and the country about
Howard, 40 miles west of Canon fur
nishes the hunter with excellent sport
during the open season. There are
also deer on the Twin Mountains,
six or seven miles northwest of the
city, and well worn paths made by
these animals may be seen on Eight
Mile Park and the surrounding coun-
try. In fact deer are still common in
the foothills in all sections of the
county, but they seldom approach
nearer than three or four miles OF
town.
We are informed that a gentleman
counted twenty-five of them not long
ago near the river while going from
here to Salida on Denver & Rio
'Grande tram.
While deer hunting is not claimed
to be good in the vicinity of Canon
yet every season Canon City people
do get deer within walking distance
OF the town.
The bear, especially the grizzly va
r:ety, is among the hardest of Ameri-
can wild animals and is frequently
found in Fremont County. They re-
ceive no protection from the law and
are always legitimate game for the
sportsman, although the best time to
hunt them is during the month of
June when the snow begins to melt
in the upper gulches of the noun
tains.
Two years ago J. w. Anthony killed
odd Nose. the most renowned griz-
ely bear in the history of Colorado. on
Black Mountain near the line between
F:emont and Park Counties. "Old
Nose" was believed to have been
fifty years old and had killed several
men and much stock Mr.. Anthony
is one of the famous bear hunters of
the west and has forty-fvc grizzlies
to his credit. He has killed a number
of bear in this county.
A flock of mountain sheep, the Big
Horn of the naturalist, was frequent
ly seen on the slopes of Fremont's
Peak last year and on one occasion
came down almost into the corporate
limits of the city. H. N. Beecher. a
local photographer, got several good
pictures of this bunch of sheep. They
are rarely observed in Colorado, ex-

At the time of the Indian occupa-
ton of the Arkansas valley the terri
tory embraced in what is now FREE
mont County was famous for the
abundance of its game and fish, prob
ably being surpassed in that respect
by few localities in the West. The
buffalo browsed in the broad mead
ows at the entrance to the Royal
Gorge in great numbers, herds of
deer fattened on the tender herbage
of the foothills. 1t is related that at
one time some years ago a Canon
City nimrod had sixty-ive fine large
bucks hanging in his yard In those
the town. The grizzly bear and the
panther held undisputed sway in the
mountains and the waters of the Ar
kansas river and its tributaries teemed
with fish of the most favored varie-
ties
Destructive in his instincts, the
white man began a war of extermina-
ton on coming into the valley and
most of the game was in few years
either killed off or driven into more
inaccessible regions. The rugged,
sheltering character of the country
alore prevented them from extinction.
Becoming more timid and wary the
deer, bear and panther sought secur-
ity in the mountains and have sur
vived in gradually diminishing num-
bers to the present time, although the
buffalo has long since disappeared en-
tirely.
Twenty-Five years ago the Arkan-
sas river was one of the finest trout
streams in the state, but in more re-
cent times they have been driven out
by placer mining in the vicinity OF
Leadville which has washed into its
waters vast quantities of mud and
mineral matter
Lately an effort has been made to
stock the river with black bass and
the experiment of ;nur,ng them to its
waters is being watched with keen in
terest by sportsmen in all parts of the
state.
Beaver Creek, in the eastern part of
the county still affords good trout
fishing and is sought by thousands
of the devotees of rod and reel every
summer. Efforts have lately been
made to establish both native and
rainbow trout in Currant, Cotton
wood and Tallahassee Creeks in the
western section, but the paucity of
flowing water during the dry season
renders their success matter of
doubt.

'dead-headed'' back to the Springs
Saturday. After arriving home about
II o'clock Saturday night, he grew
rapidly worse, and passed away early
Monday morning.
He was So years Of age, was a vete-
ran Of the civil war, and after his
army service he went to railroading,
which he followed constantly up to
the time Of his death He came here
with the road in 1888, and was a

for nearly fifteen years he has been
a passenger conductor He leaves a

which service he was a trusted en-
plOye for many years. All the old
timers remember him with pleasure,
and regret his death. He was a charter

this city. The members of the lodge
sent a delegation to attend the fun
eral, which was held at Colorado
Springs Wednesday.
All the railroad men were fast
friends Of Jim" Fuller. He was
bluff but warm-hearted, punctilIious
as to performance Of duty, but con-
siderate of others associated with him
in the train service 1t was touching
to witness the genuine sorrow Of the
old employees who attended the fun

tears, and deep emotion, impossible
to suppress, was evident among all
attending his funeral Although he
was no saint, as saintIiness commonly
goes, but a few years since he united

GOOdIand Aboard Train

No Al Tuesday met with an acct
dent one and half miles east OF
Stuttgart, the first station west OF Phil

train was in charge Of Conductor Tip
pins and Engineer Wiley. By some
unaccOuntable mishap the two rear
cars. a chair car and a Pullman jump
ed the track and were ditched. Three
persons a young man, a lady and a
gentleman from COncOrdia, were in
jured, but not seriously. The young
man was cut about the head and the
lady was bruised below the chest by
cOlliding with one OF the seats. Be
ing through passengers they were
taken on to Colorado Springs. A. B.
PennOck Of COncordia, en- route to
Goodland, stopped of here. He SUI
fered some bruises and was treated
by Dr.. T. H Smith
In the miX-up the trucks Of the two
cars were hurled to one side OF the
right Of way and the cars to the other
side. AS the train was moving rap
idly on a stretch Of down grade the
wonder is that no one was seriously
injured
The accident is supposed to be the
result Of a brake rod giving away,
and falling among the trucks.

the Campbell system Of using a dust

is narrowed after sowing and worked
over with a roller or sub-surface

A Cannon Monument for the Heroine
of Monmouth.


Carlisle. Pa.-''AIoII'' Pitcher re-
nOwned in history as the heroine Of
the battle Of Monmouth, was sfgnally
hOnOred at Carlisle recently on the
127th anniversary Of her gallant
heroism, by the unveiling Of a cannon
placed over her rave in the ancient
burial ground there by the war de-
partment and the Patriotic Order Of
the Sons Of America.
The national heroine, who was late
" refused a monument through the
welding Of the veto by Pennsylva-
MAS governor, inspired the Ameri-
can patriots with courage at the bat
tie Of Monmouth, June %, 177S, by
jumping to her slaughtered husband's
position at a cannon in the forefront
OF the battle, and although captiOUs
critics have asSailed her memory by
reference to alleged cOarseness OF the
remarkable wOman's nature and hab-
its. her place as the feminine type Of
the spirit Oof vs. is acknowledged
by historians
Forty years ago the country was
torn by disputes as to the resting place
Of Sergeant Molly, six states claim
ing the honor of holding her mortal
remains in their soil, but Carlisle in
dispUtably proved that she was buried
here
The cannon weighs 1,4OO pounds,
and resembles the field piece which
the woman helped to fire after her
husband had fallen in battle.

Baking Economy.

By the use Of a perfect baking
powder the housewife can derive as
much economy as from any other ar
ucle used in baking and cooking. In
selecting a baking powder, therefore,
care should be exercised to purchase
one that retains its original strength
and always retains the same, thus
making the food sweet and whole
some and producing sufficient leaven-
ing gas to make the baking light
Very little Of this Ieavening gas Is
produced by the cheap baking pow
ders, making Il necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily requir-
ed to secure results
Manufacturers Of cream Of tartar
powders ask about twice as much for
their goods as that paid for any other
baking powder, and food prepared
from these cream OF tartar powders
contains large quantities OF Rochelle
Salts Ask your physician what the
results would be from the constant
dosing Of Rochelle Salts
A baking powder that IS recon-
mended BY leading physicians and
chemists, and which is both perfect
in quality and moderate in price, is
therefore suggested-one that has
been found 70 be best BY test
Calumet" From the standpoints Of
purity whoissomeness and economy,
there is nothing to excel it
Food prepared with Calumet Is alb
sOlutely free from ROcheIIe salts.

SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.
Western Kansas Needs Them, Ellis
County Being Thirty Short.

County Being Thirty Short.
At the Office Of the state superin-
tendent Of public instruction letters
are being received stating that there
are not enough school teachers to I'LL
the vacant places in western Kansas.
This is a complaint which comes an
nually and from which the officers
are unable to offer any explanation
The counties which report a short
age in the school teacher crop are all
west Of Barton and Russell counties.
Ellis county reported a shortage Of
thirty teachers. The shortage will not
give the state superintendent much
trouble this year on account Of a law
which was passed by the last leisla-
ture. T. L Dyer, assistant superin-
tendent, said:
The last legislature passed a law
which provides for just such emer-
gencies. Under that law teachers who
have secured certificates in one cOun-
ty may go into another county and
teach without taking a new examina-
ton. All that is necessary is that the
teacher present the certificate to the
superintendent Of the county in which
he desires to teach and the superin-
tendent viii accept it as a certificate
issued in that county. There are more
teachers in some Of the counties than
there are schools and under this law
they can easily get a school further
west Previously they had to take
another examination and they were
not 50 willing to change counties"
