Strawberry Day at elenwood.

Denver, June 1S.-A Glenwood
Springs dispatch last night says:
Glenwood Springs today celebrated
her eighth annual strawberry festival
and the event was pronounced by all
to be a grand success. Leadville. AS
pen, Grand Junction, New Castle. Rifle
and Carbondale contributed literally
to the number of visitors present
The musical program was excellent,
bands from Aspen, Redstone, Grand
Junction and Leadville entertaining
the people. A big free strawberry
feast at the Opera House was one OF
the leading features of the program,
and scarcely less popular than this
was the swim in the big pool, this be-
ing free for all visitors from 2 O'Clock
to 6.
A ball game this afternoon between
the Aspen and Glenwood clubs re-
suited in a victory for the former by a
score of fifteen to eight.
An excursion of Iowa school teachers
ON their way to Portland arrived
about 8 o'clock and the entire party
was piloted to the headquarters at
Odd Fellows hall, where they wero
served with Strawberries and cream.
The exercises closed tonight with o
dance in the open Hir.

STATE LABOR OFFICE
LABOR COMMISSIONERS WORK.
Many Complaints Satisfactorily Set
tled-conditIons Good In West
ern Colorado.

Denver, June 19.-Since he became
state labor commissioner two months
ago e. V. Brake has had 112 COM
plants filed in his office. which have
nearly all been adjusted satisfactorily.
The law only requires that where COM
plants are made by laboring people
that they have been defrauded or un-
Justly kept out Of their wages the COM
missioner may investigate. 1t does
not give him power to act, but the
commissioner is great moral force
and usually very soon after case is
reported it is speedily adjusted. be-
cause the employer is not counting
trouble. The cases are of great va
riety and the claims presented run
from 81 to several hundred.
Women are the greatest offenders.
strange as it may seem. They become
angry and discharge a servant or q
dressmaker, refusing to adjust the
wages until the end of the month. or
when they feel like it, and frequently
setting up counter-claim for poor
work or broken dishes. A poor person
cannot wait, nor can he or she afford
to sue, setting forth the justice or in
justice of the claim against them.
There is much trouble, also. with en-
ployment agents, since, unhappily,
good many unworthy persons go into
that business becaure it offers excel
lent opportunities for preying upon
the labor of others. Recently Mr..
Brake had a very aggravated claim OF
this kind. An agent attempted to ship
twenty three men on a train to job
of work on a ticket that called for
twenty-one fares. The extra men were
put off, and one of them made his way
back to the city. He was out his COM
mission to the agent, lost his blankets
and was generally a sufferer. The
commissioner was able to adjust the
claim without trouble.
Commissioner Brake has no fund to
work with, but he has managed to Sc
cure legal services in a manner of his
own. He has made an arrangement
with r. l. Gregg, preceptor at the law
school of the Denver University, to
handle the cases. Mr.. Gregg has a
good many young law students who
are looking for experience. and they
take up the petty cases and handle
them for nothing.
Mr.. Brake has recently returned
from a trip over the western part OF
the state. looking up labor statistics.
He reports that conditions are salts
factory in almost every section and
| few complaints were made to him.

Royal Arcanum Rates.

New York, June 19.-Plans are be
ing perfected to have a great mass
meeting in New York the latter part OF
this week or early next week, to en-
phasi.e the protest of many members
OF the Royal Arcanum against the new
rates adopted by the Supreme Council
at Atlantic City in May.
Although officers of the orgariza-
tions assert that the agitation will
blow over, the opposition appears to be
growing, especially in New York and
Brooklyn. In the official organ of the
organization, which has just ap-
peared, members are told that under
no circumstances will there be any
revocation or even modification of the
decision of the supreme council.
1t is asserted that unless such de-
cided increase in the premium as was
ordered had been made, 1t would only
have been short time before the or
der would have had to go out Of bust
ness.

SAVED cHILD's LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dcdd's
Kidney Pills.

Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.=The case
of w. S. Taylors little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes ON. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors. two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills
day. one morning. noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
l consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night

Important Baseball Decision.

New York, June 21.-Persons who
attend baseball games do SO at their
own risk, according to a decision just
handed down by Civil Justice Nc
Laughlin in a damage suit brought by
a young woman who claims to have
been injured by foul ball. The COM
plainant was an enthusiastic admirer
of the game. On September 3. 1904,
while a spectator at the contest on the
Polo grounds between the New York
National Club and the Bostons. foul
ball smote her on the nose. The doc
tors saved her from permanent dis
figurement, but suit was brought for
damages in the sum of $500 against
the New York clubs management.
The complainant's counsel asserted
that the management was responsible
for everything that went wrong on
the ground and that the woman's In
Jury was clearly due to the lack OF
proper safeguards. The justice. how
ever. ruled that those who entered the
grounds did SO at their own risk

Treatment of Consumption.

An important paper was read before
the recent meeting of the American
AnttTuberculosis League at Atlanta,
Georgia, by Dr. c. P. Palmer of Ashe-
vile North Carolina, on "The Physi-
clans permanent Duty to the Patient
and Family in Tuberculosis" At the
conclusion of his discussion DIR. Am
bier presented the following points:
"First-Tuberculosis is not the fatal
disease commonly believed.
"Second-While communicable, it
can be practically innocuous by the
proper course on the part of the pa
tient.
"Third-The chief cause of the large
mortality is late diagnosis.
"Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by indifference of the patient to early
symptoms and carelessness on the part
of the physician consulted.
"Fifth-By thorough systematic in
struction of the patient, better results
can be accomplished than by medica-
ton.
"Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
lily and friends and close observation
on their part of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease of it's
method and means of extending"

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks TO the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full

Starches are put up in u A-pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package 1t is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to

SStotOtls
Denver. June 21.-A Joint confer
ence OF members of the Democratic
State Central Committee and the Dem
ocratic leaders not directly connected
with the state organization as COM
mitteemen met here Monday in pur-
suance of a call issued some weeks
ago by United States Senators Teller
and Patterson, Former Governor
ADAMS and Charles S. Thomas and the
other leading party men, for the pur-
pose OF securing an expression or opin-
lon on the issues of the day affectins
the state of Colorado. On entering the
conference the members of the state
committee announced that they did SO
| only as individuals.
The conference instructed a COM
mittee, headed by Senator Patterson,
to prepare an address to the people
Of Colorado. This was done and the
conference later heard it read and in
dorsed 1t as platform of principles
Tor the Colorado Democracy.
This address, after referring to the
conspiracy which resulted in the un-
seating of Alva Adams from the gov
ernorship and installing a man "who
never had been nominated for the
place and for whom a single vote hac
not been cast" warns the people that
the corporations "have deliberately
determined to rule the state, regard
less of what the majority of legal
voters may decide"
The address further says:
I'VE stand for municipal ownership
Of all public utilities. The claim that
this is a question local to each town
and city is given the lie by the events
Of the past few years in Colorado"
Later the state central committee
held meeting and adopted the fol-
! lowing:
Resolved, by the Democratic State
Central Committee, That while we
favor municipal ownership of public
utilities. the time and manner of ac-
quiring them should be left to the vari-
ous towns and cities interested"
| A banquet to the Democratic CONFER
ence was held at the Savoy hotel Mon
day night and was attended by more
than 300 Democrats from all sections
Of the state. Samuel Belford of Den

of toasts was as follows:
