Close to two hundred OF the residents
Of Central aud Black Hawk took ad-
vantage of the excursion rate offered by
the G. e. S. railway Sunday and spent
Sunday in Denver. The weather was
disagreeably warm and only those wear

able shape. The price charged for the
railroad ticket included admission to
Elitch's, and many of the passengers
from here took advantage Of this most
generous act Of the railway company
and went out to the gardens to feed pea.
nuts to the monkeys and pat the bears.
The extreme heat forced almost every

stone to physical beauty is perfect physical
health.
"A sick woman cannot be beautiful
