COLORADO.
The Most Attractive Place on Earth
In Summer.

II you or your friends are contem-
plating summer trip this year we
should like to tell you something Of
Colorado II you have ever spent a
summer in this wonderland you know
Of Its delights and will likely be out
here again. II you have never en-
joyed Oolorado's attractions we want
to tell you of some of the good
things you've missed.
The summer climate Of Colorado
is simply glorious. Indeed. no where
else in our big country is there to be
found climate SO nearly perfect.
After climate. our uext greatest ma
tural attraction is the grandeur of
the Rocky Mountains-matohiess
scenery.
''Oh. the unspeakable charm OF the
mountainsi The sense OF freedom.
the buoyancy of spirit. the relief
from care, which are found in com.
munion with this bounteous gift Of
Providence to man. As long "a the
world stands men will turn to the
mountains for inspiration in all that
10 good and true. The man or
woman who has not bSthed In the
ife.inspiring sunlight and Atmos-
phere of the Rockies has missed one
of the most enduring charms of ex-
istence.
There IL so much to be seen. 90
many things to be enjoyed. that one
could not hope to cover the whole field
of attractions if the entire summer
should be devoted to the purpose, but
the principal pleasure places. the lead
ing health resorts, the most important
cities and the greatest scenic features,
may be briefly enjoyed without great
expenditure Of energy. time or money.

WATER CAUSED SECOND BLAZE.
Disastrous Fire at WiIkesbarre, Pa;
Loss, $50 900.

Disastrous Fire at WiIkesbarre, Pa;
Loss, $500. 900.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 22.-One
occurred in this city in some years
started at an early hour in the morn
ing. and not until afternoon were the
firemen able TO control the flames. The
loss entailed will reach fully $4,000
The fire originated in the millinery
department on the second floor of the
Isaac Long dry goods house, in the
Welles building. OF the west side of
the public square, II of the handsom-
est and costliest structures in this city.
When first discovered the flames were
promptly controlled by the firemen in
less than one hour.
A second fire broke out in the base
ment Of the building about an hour
after the first one had been subdued.
A careful investigation was made by
experts, who declare the fire was first
caused by the crossing of two electric
wires. The water used in the quench-
ing of the first flames followed some of
the wires into the basement of the
building, where a short circuit was
formed, causing a flash from Il large
dynamo, which started the second fire
among some iniammable dry goods
stored there, which spread with great
rapidity, and before the general alarm
could be sounded the entire building
was a mass of flames.
OF the Isaac Long store there was
nothing left. The building was a five
story brick and stone structure sup
posed to have been fireproof.
The principal losses are: Edward
Welles, on building, $4,000: the Isaac
Long dry goods house, $155,000; Chris
tian Walter shoe house, $4,000, and
Herman Engel, ieweler, $4,000.
