An exchange says that I. N.
Stevens who is SO forward in con-
demning the actions of the corpor-
ations and their corrupt hirelings
through the columns of his paper,
The Pueblo Chieftain, for their de-
testable acts in trying to Gust Gov
ernor Adams, is placing himself so
far beyond the borders of the Re-
publican party he will never again
be able to enter the fold. Mr..
Stevens is of the constitutional
type of Republicans and further
more is man of principle, and if
it is necessary to tolerate the ne
farious work of gang of dishon-
orable corporationists, indecent
lobbyists and political puppets, he
doubtless would rather not be con-
nected with the party. In his
newspaper articles however, he is
merely voicing the sentiments of
the respectable element of his
political faith, which constitutes
the majority, and man of his hon.
esty and integrity who stands for
fairness and righteousness, is more
to be welcomed to the ranks of the
Republican party than rejected.

GALBRA1TH DOOMED

The supreme court this week
handed down it's decision regard
ing the capital punishment law,
sustaining the constitutionality of
same. Besides the three Young
blood murderers, Azel D. Gal
braith is doomed to die by the
hangman's moose during the week
of May 21st. The decision Of the
highest tribunal of the state was
looked forward to with much ex-
pectancy and interest by the peo-
pie of this county because the de-
cision, pro or con, would determine
the fate of a former resident of
this communicated d. Gal
braith. 1t will be one year ago
the ninth of next month that the
most atrocious crime ever commit
ted within the boundaries of Colo
RADIO occurred at Russell Gulch in
which this fiend incarnate figured
as the murderer of his wife and
little boy. The details of the
tragedy are fresh in the memories
of the residents of Gilpin county
and are SO horroring that a review
of the double murder would be
disagreeable to the inhabitants of
this section. There was much
speculation: indulged in by the
people of this vicinity as to what
would be the outcome of the in
vestigation into the validity of the
capital punishment law by the su-
preme court. Many who are op-
posed to the death sentence, but
who will acknowledge the enorm-
ity of the crime committed by
Galbraith, would much rather
have had the law declared unoon-
stitutional. Then there those in
Vulnerable that heard of the action
of the court with extreme delight,
who think the only way in which
justice can be meted out to the
perpetrator of such a diabolical
tragedy is through hanging.

Why Not See Mexico.

Forty eight hours travel will take you
from the cold clustering northern winter
to land OF sunshine and flowers. What
Egypt and India are to the old world
Mexico is to the new. "A land OF sun,
shine, redolent with flowers; a land Of
gay costumes, crumbling churches, and
old converts; land Of kindly greetings,
OF extreme courtesy, OF open broad hos
pitality. 1t was more than enough to
revel in an Italian sun, lighting up
semi-tropical land; to look up to white
capped peaks, towering into blue; to
look down upon wind.swept plains en-
circled by ragged chains OF mountains;
and to realize that today, in its varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, street life
canals crowded with flower. laden boats,
market plazas thronged with gayly
dressed natives, faded church interiors.
and abandonedJ converts, Mexico is tho
most msrvelously picturesque country
under the sun. A tropical Nenice, a
semi barbarous Spain, new Holy

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention Of
articles of minor Importance. Many Of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and,one of the most
interesting Of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, 80. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
tric Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight lhair curly in 25
days time. Thousands of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell on sight. Send for

Gold In BUILDING Bricks.

OF the brick were left in the gutter.
Yesterday morning ]. B. Webber, pro-
prietor Of a meat market, was stand
ing in front of the hotel building when
he espied a piece of brick which
looked good to him. He picked 1t up
and upon examination 1t was found to
be literally filed with glittering gold.
WebDer says he has genuine gold
brick. and d very rich one at that, but
complains that it is not large enough.
Just how much gold is in the brick
of this building and others OF the town
will never be known, but Mr.. Web

1t has been found that silkworm gut
forms the best line for fishing pur-
poses, partly on account OF its great
tenacity and partly because 1t is so
transparent. Every year sufficient
number of Spanish silkworm grubs
are selected for this purpose. After
they have eaten enough mulberry
leaves, and before they begin to-spin,
they are thrown into vinegar for sew
eral hours. Each insect is killed and
the substance which the grub in the
natural course would have spun into
cocoon is forcibly drawn from the
dead worm into much thicker and
shorter silken thread, The threads are
then placed in pure water for about
four hours and afterward dipped for
ten minutes in a solution of soft soap

The new trade. mark is in the shape Of
circle with solid background Of black.
Around the edge OF the circle are the
words "Colorado Midland Railway"
while in the center are the two words
midland Route" The letters are in
white, and standing against the black
background present a striking appear
ance.
The adoption Of this new trade mark
means the passing Of the Indian and
the old phrase. "Pike's Peak Route"
which have been in use ever since the
road was built. The new trad g. mark is
also another example Of the well known
fact that the name OF road is what the
