Is and Pidgys inoffensiveness had begun
to weaken his jealousy and prejudice a
series of petty losses had occurred in the
chor-room, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Was it not his duty to the other boys to tell of
Pidgv's antecedents? Steve Grancell the only
other person likely to enlighten them this point
was away at boarding-school; SO Pidgy under
no more suspicion than was Howard himself when
a pearl-handled knife disappeared, then some loose
change which Willie Earns positive he had left
in his overcoat pocket, then several other
tritles
And now, last and worst Mr.. Shaw's silver paper
cutter was gone. 1t was worst, because Pidgv had
been most devoted in his attentions and loud in his
expressions of attachment to the organist. He it
was who led the blind man home when his wife did
not come to meet him. he 1t who-uproarious

with his fingers, and to save time and pains he

Now it had been missing for two weeks, and no
had it. Distressed beyond words, Mr., Shaw
begged the boys not to worry about 1t; perhaps
it would be found at home some day.
The pear1-handled knife had been found, but
nothing else. Had Howard right to remain
silent any longer?

satisfaction, he entered the small gymnasium
attached to the choir-room. He intended to let

singing, until his voice broke, to be saved for

TRY the rings, Howard?" asked Willie Earns.
The choir-room had a small gymnasium attached.
and Howard threw his coat a bench and followed
Willie with alacrity. Only Mr. Shaw and Pidgy
Foster remained in the other room, chatting to-
gether with great friendliness,
Whats your hurry, Pidge?" shouted boy after
him, as the next moment he passed the window in
a series of running leaps.
Its my hurry, amt it," retorted Pidge
pertly and somehow, Howard, hating himself for
his suspciousness, yet impelled by instinct,
dropped the rings at once. hastened to the choir
room, and felt in his coat pocket. No envelop

from its folds. Then he searched the empty bench,

In order that the homes Of some Of
the residents on North Hill street, op-
posite the high school may not have
to be sawed in two, It Is probable that
the board of public works will abandon
the proceedings for widening North
Hill street from its junction with Sun
set boulevard, 4S0 feet north.
Where Hill street and Sunset boule-
ward join the land narrows down to a
triangle, and this is built up with
modest homes. The street there is sew
enty feet wide and continues so for
4S0 feet south, where It widens out to
an 81 1-2 foot street. According to w.
M. Bowen, who represented the pro-
testing faction before the board yes
terday, the property owners built their
homes over the street line, under the
erroneous impression given by sur
veyor, that they were not trespassing
on city property

City News
MUST CUT THROUGH HOUSES
TO WIDEN NORTH HILL STREET

North Hill street was ordered graded
recently and the street at this point
widened, and Il was then that the prop
erty owners learned that their houses
were partly over the public highway.
The lots there are very narrow and
It Is impossible to move some Of the
houses back. To widen the street it
would be necessary to cut at least seven
feet off the front of the houses at this
point Those who would be affected
are Fred Sykes, A. J. Barnes, G. =.
Freely, s. ]. Britton, +. w. Slower
and w. Allen.
The board yesterday tried to reach
a compromise by having the prop
erty owners pay the city's share of
the Improvement on North Hill street,
in front Of the high school. The case
was laid over for one week to secure
the sentiment of the people on this
proposition.

POWERS SLATED
FOR NEW PLACE
DETENTION HOSPITAL TO BE
IN HIS CHARGE
Dr.. E. M. Palette May Succeed Pres
ent Head of Health Depart
ment-Dr. Day Is Also
Mentioned
DR.. l.. M. Powers, superintendent of
the new detention hospital.

DR.. l.. M. Powers, superintendent Oh
the new detention hospital.
DR.. E. M. Palette, health officer.
This Is the slate which 1t Is asserted
in city hall circles has been agreed
on. to take effect come time In the
near future, probably at the next meet
ing of the board.
DIR. Powers, who is now the health
officer, is the last of the departmental
chiefs to be held over from the Snyder
administration. Superintendent OF
Parks lie Grande was the first to go;
Fire Chief Strohms head fell next
Chief of Police Hammel resigned a few
months ago and only Health Officer
Powers is left. His transfer to the de-
tention hospital, however, comes as
promotion rather than a setback and
1t Is one that he will welcome.
DR.. Powers has given the health
board entire satisfaction in the dis
charge of his duties, and when it was
decided to build the new detention
hospital his name was prominently
mentioned as the person best fitted to
take charge of the institution. AS a
practicing physician he has been very
successful with contagious diseases,
and in his capacity as health officer
he has added to that experience.
Position Is Created
The health board is convinced that
with his many years OF successful prac-
tice, DIR. Powers can fill the position
most acceptably.
The position of superintendent of the
hospital is one that will have to be
created by the board, as there now is
no such official. An inspector has
charge of the detention hospital now
in use and works directly under DR..
Powers What the salary and emolu-
ments of the new position will be have
not yet been decided.
DR.. Palette now is a member of the
health board and is responsible for
many of the important moves that have
recently been made by that body. Since
the McAleer administration he has fire.
quently been mentioned as the next
health officer, and it Is known that he
is not averse to accepting the position.
While DR.. Palette is a practicing ply
sician and highly successful in his pro-
fession, he has no aversion, his friends
assert, to accepting the salary of health
officer, $3.50 a month, and adding to his
experience in this office. His support
ers declare that he will make a most
efficient officer.
1t is stated that DR.. Palette may have
opposition from at least one member
of the board, who favors the appoint
ment of DR.. Day, formerly assistant
health officer.

ODD FELLOWS MEET
Great Gathering of Order at
Rocky Ford, Colo.

Too late for publication last week.
Rocky Ford, Colo. Oct. Il, 1905,
Editor Tribune:
The hosts of Odd Fellowship have
taken possession of this wide awake
and pleasant town OF Rocky Ford.
The hotels are overfiowing. restau-
rants are making their owners rich,
and scores of citizens have taken the
visiting brethren into their comfort
able homes.
Yesterday was given up to the en-
campment and the Rebekah assem-
bly,, the latter organization holding
sessions for three more days. Today
the Grand Lodge opens. The fore
noon will be for organization and in
the afternoon adjournment will be
taken to witness the Canton COM
petitive drill. Six uniformed can
tons are on hand and the interest is
keen. 1t has been years since drill
has been so hotly contested.
Weld county is we'll represented
here. From Greeley are Rev. X. j.
Van Nalkenburg, for thirty years
grand chaplain of the jurisdiction,
and Past Grand Master Dunham,
who never misses one of these gath
erings. Both are accompanied by
their wives. Judge Willard and
Horace Ague are the accredited rep
resentatives of Poudre Valley lodge.
j. E. Shook is the present grand
guardian Of the grand lodge. A. T.
Ling and wife are also attending.
Other towns of the county repre-
sented are Eaton, Frank Lowry,
Mrs. Frank Brewington; Ault, Mr..
and Mrs. King, Mr.. schroll, Mrs.
Coffman; Windsor. Mrs. Evans:
Platteville, Mr.. and Mrs. Orville
Petty, Mrs. Warren Hammitt; Fort
Lupton. Geo. Lambert, Mrs. Cor
coran; Erie, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Stevens, Mrs. Maggie Hill, Mrs.
John Probert.
Considerable important business
will come before the grand lodge, one
of the questions of most interest be-
ing the appointment of committee
to select a site for the proposed Odd
Fellows home. There are two
opinions in this matter regarding
the advisability of action at this
time and there are many towns and
cities desiring the location. No bet
ter place than Greeley.

Independence, and we gave them de-
pendence, and virtually slavery
For our courts have kindly ruled Tor
our trusts, that our constitution
under which the people supposed we
fought in war, does not follow our
flag in peace; that though now our
people by virtue OF conquest ana
purchase they are yet not of US; may
not be represented in the government
which we impose upon them against
their will: may not even be tried
by our jury system, the fundamental
principle of our criminal juriSprud'
ence, when they offend the laws we
have enacted for their government
and control: and finally, that they
NAV not even find free market with
our people for the very few crops
they can successfully grow, and upon
which their material prosperity en-
tirely depends.
They are now, by our confession,
in poverty and misery through no
fault of their own. They ask US,
not for bread, but the opportunity to
successfully earn it. And we tender
them instead, not the boon they ask
for but 'education;'' which, being
deprived by US of the privilege they
seek, is virtually a stone, and in
stead of nourishing them, will, un-
der the conditions of their unfortu-
nate environment, sink them deeper
in their degradation and if possible
render existence more unbearable
and death itself more grateful to
them. No valid excuse can be
offered for any discrimination be-
tween Porto Rico and Alaska, on the
one hand, and the Philippine islands
on the other in this matter of the
tariff. No grounds of national eS-
pediency, no question of party policy,
no principle of public morality war
rants us in placing any tax whatever
on their products. Justice and fair
dealing demand that they be admit
ted absolutely free.
Very respectfully submitted,
Satiricus.

islands. | had severe cold. l
most always have one when for any
reason l suspect that public meet
ing of any kind would not satisfy my
longings. do not wish to attend.
l have heard the remarks of the
gentlemen criticised and l judge
there was want of enthusiasm both
on the part of the speakers and the
audience. The reports read well
enough, but being accustomed to
read between lines l judge the oral
reports 1 get are the more reliable.
There was reason for 1T all. l do
not know Mr.. Cove. but ! do know
the Honorable Thomas NJ. Patterson;
and knowing him l know how to
make the proper allowances for any
deficiencies that may have been ar-
parent in his address. You see he
is trying to serve two masters and
we know aside from scriptural au-
thority how difficult a thing that is
to successfully perform. He is
free trader and belongs to party of
free trade principles, but his consti-
tuency is interested in sugar and
sugar beets, and SO he pays the pen
atty and straddles; that is to say,
stultifies himself. He is excusable,
he is in politics: and moreover he
must represent Colorado from his
seat in the senate, or be damned for
an migrate.
But there were others: it being,
in fact, strictly bipartisan dis
cussion, of course republicans were
there, and they united with the SEN
ator and stultitied themselves. Let
me explain. The republican party
is high tariff party, but it has
the Philippine islands with their
nine millions of people, solely on
the ground that they came to us by
the accident of war and that we are
holding the people for their own
good in order to civilize them and
tit them for self government at some
indefinite time in the future. Now
of course the real leading governing
spirits inside the republican party
know this is now, and has been, a
fraudulent pretense from the start,
and they cough in their sleeves every
time they mention it in The presence
of an honest man. OF course there
are a minority of honest people in
all parties and accordingly some
honest republicans who actually be-
lieve that fiction. President Roose-
velt is one of these and Secretary
Taft is another. And Secretary
Taft having been governor of these
people and knowing that the only
hope they have of ever accomplish
ing anything in the way of progress
towards the civilization which we
falsely pretend to assist them in at
tanning, lies through material sue
cess in growing sugar, tobacco and
hemp, earnestly recommends that
our prohibitive tariff, especially on
sugar, be modified in their behalf.
But our Colorado republican leaders
are interested in sugar and sugar
beets, and so they join cheerfully
with the majority Of the Grand Old
Party and stultify themselves also.
And the people, that is to say, the
farmers, what of them? Let us be
candid; simply this and nothing
more. We raise the beets, and the
question appeals to our cupidity;
and such an appeal is never made in
vain. Don't we know that the busi-
