shelf ornament such as so many young
men tie up to nowadays, but she does
POSSESS that priceless Jewel so valuable
in woInan-common sense.
Guy, when properly trained, will
make a good husband. He has no
ambition to pay the licenses Of all the

Fire Near TrimbIe Springs.

A telephone message shortly after
10 O'Clock last night from TrimbIe
conveyed the astounding news to the
city that passing trains, some time
during the afternoon or evening,
through flying sparks from the loco
motives, had started several pastures
and haystacks afire, that owing to the
high winds present it might be neces-
sary to ask immediate assistance any
moment from Durango to save the
famous hostelry from Obstruction.
The fire started in haystack just
north Of the hotel, and burned over a
district, north, over half a mile long.
The hotel was seriously endangered
at one time but owing to sloughs and
the railroad track it was prevented
from crossing.
The fire consumed everything in its
path, hay, hay sheds and outbaildings.
Hon. T. d. Burns, owner Of the
Trimble Springs ranch, was a heavy
loser, some 400 tons of hay and sheds,
to the value Of probably $4,000.
Andy Buchanan lost a big new barn
and Joe Freed, Jr., sheds, ETC., his res-
idence being at one time threatened

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Dec. II.
There was another heavy marketing
of cattle here last week, total receipts
footing up just about the same as the
week before. Trade Started off Monday
with snap and piices were generally
10 to Is cents higher on everything,
but later good deal of this advance
was lost owing to lower markets at
eastern points. Choice beef steers were
scarce and firm, not enough coming to
supply the demand. Cows were pIent-
iful and inquiry very good. Prices
closed 10 to 20 cents lower than Mon
day however on account of declines at
all eastern markets. Good heavy feed
ers held up pretty well but all other
kinds are about a dime lower. Choice
grass fed steers sold at $4.35 to$4.5O,
fair to good kinds at $3.s to $4.25 and
the medium to fair grades around So 25
to 1915. One lot Of fancy Christmas
heifers from the southeastern part of
state sold at $4.0O, load Of choice New
Mexican cows at $3.50, best western
Colorado grass cows at $40 and i
bunch Of fair corn fed cows from east.
ern part of the state at $3.50 to 1886.
Bulk of the fair to pretty good grass
cows offered sold at $2.65 to $3.50. and
medium kinds around $3.50 to $3.50.
Bulls were in strong demand and high
bulk Of the weeks offerings selling at
Us to $2.35. Veals also firm and in
good demand. Business In the feeder
and stocker division was rushing but
country buyers continue to want the
pretty good steers. Best heavy feeders
sold at S4.25 to $3.50, freight paid, with
the fair to pretty good steers at 80. 40 to
S4.16 and the common to medium
kinds around $2.75 to $3.25. Receipts
today were over 1900 head and mar

Whether the Cincinnati inquiries,
IN the following, is paying tribute to
Ohio printers or rebuking Ohio officials
and courts, we are unable to say:
Until short time ago an ably con-
Quoted and quite well edited little
paper was published within the walls
OF the Ohio penitentiary. But it dis
appeared without warning and inquiry
as to the cause developed the fact that
there was not single convict In the
institution who could handle type.
The last printer in the "pen" has
served his time and secured employ
ment In Cincinnati and there is none
to take his job in Columbus. Nor has
there been since, although there is
plenty of other talent to be had"

The coal famine, is getting to be
quite serious in Telluride, and if coal
is not delivered soon there will be
much suffering. The Journal claims
that sufficient coal to supply the de
mand has been billed to Telluride but
never arrived because the Rio Grande
Southern confiscated it. The Journal
is advocating an indignation meeting
for the purpose of discussing ways and
means to compelling the Southern to
deliver some coal in that burg.

RECORD BREAKER.
Arrests For September Foot
Up 1870.

Meanness held high carnival dur
ing the month Of September. The
arrests for different violations of the
law exceeded those Of several months
past, and were doubtless a record
breaker. Friday Richard Burk was
arrested for drunkenness and Satur-
day Richard Woodford was taken in
for carrying a concealed weapon; a
woman by the name Of Coda john
son was pulled for breach of the
peace.
The following negroes were arrest
ed Saturday night for crap shooting:
Bud Eagle, Jim Dade, Lee Dade,
Charlie Page, Geo. Boyd, Ward Don
aldson, Willis Ware, John Cole, John
Diuguld. Lee Dade was also charged
with carrying a concealed weapon.
With the exception of two or three
they were all locked up to stand
their trials Monday ard each wa
given So. so, and Dade $3.50 extra.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased part of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is cured by an
inhamed condition of the mucouslin-
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
Rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness Caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Resisted On Officer by TAX
ing Five Shots at Him.
Another Negro Opened Fire
on Constable But With
out Effect.

Pembroke had Saturday night
what was not a parallel case with the
one at Trenton the same night three
weeks before. but something Ike it.
The facts, as we are told, are as fol-
lows:
A negro by the name of John
Bronaugh had gotten into quarrel
with another negro on one of the
streets and was cursing him when
Constable Link Morrison went up
and attempted to quell the disturb
ance, finally threatening to arrest
Bronaugh. The negro stepped back
and put his hand into his pocket to
draw his pistol, getting further
away from the officer. When he
thought he had the drop" on the
constable he opened fire on him., fir
ing five shots. One of the balls
grazed thumb of Constable Nor
rison and he drew his pistol and shot
the negro in one side, the ball COM
ing out on the other side. Another
negro who was near also fired On the
officer.
Bronaugh when shot fell and was
afterwards picked up and car
ried into a nearby house and medi-
cal attention secured. 1t was re-
ported here Sunday afternoons that
the negro had died, but a gen.
,, tleman who was in the city yester-
day morning said that he was still
alive, but his wound would no doubt
prove fatal. -,
The people of Pembroke were very
much exercised over the affair and
say that Constable Morrison was
perfectly justifable in shooting the
negro. Pembroke is afflicted with a
large eolored population. many of
them lOunging around on the streets
and refusing to work for anybody,
no matter what wages are offered,
The people have been talking about
having the vagrant law rigidly en-
forced to thin out the Objectionable
population.
Many of the cities and towns OF
the State are taking up, the matter
and the thousands of negroes who
leave the farms and go into town t.
live-how no one can tell--are near
ing the time when they will either
have to go to work or make theil
way to other points. When idle
men refuse to accept employment
on the farms at 81 and $3.50 per day
it is about time for the enforcement
of the vagrant laws to be put in op
Grafton.

Addressed a Crowd of $500
Yesterday Afternoon.
INTRODUCED BY DUFFY
Received With Applause and
Many Bouquets Pre-
scented at Close.

Governor Beckham arrived in the
city Sunday night and delivered an
address yesterday afternoon at the
Tabernacle, the only building in the
city large enough to hold the inn
mense crowd. Circuit court and the
grand jury adjourned during the
speaking. The tobacco planters held
their meeting in the forenoon.
Governor Beckham was introduced
by County Attorney John C. Duffy
and at once launched into a speech
along the lines of the speech hereto
fore published ir the KENTUCKIAN in
full. He was in fine fettle and scored
point after point in the progress of
his address, which was enthusiastic
ally received. The audience was
clearly strongly favorable to the gov
ernor and he spoke under most en-.
couraging surroundings.
At the conclusion of his speech a
number of floral offerings that had
been sent forward were formally
presented to the governor.
The indications point to a decisive
majority in this county for the gov
efnor in his race for the senatorship.
In fact, his more enthusiastic friends
are claiming that it will be a walk
over for him.
