The Yankee Doodle Minstrels scor-
ed another pronounced success Mon
day evening by the presentation Of
their show in the Elks hall. This
minstrel company was organized a
short time ago to aid the High school
boys to raise funds for the support Of
the athletic teams and is composed
of home talent. This is their third
performance, having played two
nights for the high school boys. On
each occasion they introduced new
jokes and songs which naturally ad-

his song. I'm Feeling Fine" as did

appreciation was evident by the vol

Jerry Wellman whistled The
Mocking Bird" and whistled 1t so
well that he is readily accepted as
Canon City's leading whistler.
The old plantation melodies by the
Columbian male quartette thrilled the
blood of all and impressed many as
being one of the best parts of the pro-
gram. Ernest Martin took fall out
of the piano and displayed his ability
in making the old box give out the
best there is In 1t.
Van Patten told all about his first
visit to Denver and Col Ding but he
has got civilized TO great extent

rendition and Van makes good far

the appearance for the first time of
Master Arnold Harris in song and
dance. He sung What You Going

Bishop writes Of Mr.. Lewis: 1t
would be hard to name anyone among
us in whom more hopes we're bound
up. He was devoted son of the
Church, and the ideal in Christian
manhood is rarely by anyone more
fally attained. Wherever this autumn
men meet who knew him they speak
reverently and sadly Of his death.
There is in all of those who are inter-
ested in the work of the church, a deep
sense Of loss. He has left US the ex-
ample of devoted and honorable life
which should be an inspiration, and SO
his work and influence should go on.
The Church may be proud and thank
full which can present such sons to her
Lord and Master. We are all richer for
what he was and what he did, and the
remembrance of him should fill US with
gratitude and courage"

NEGRO TROOPS TO STAY.
Action Against Brownsville Offenders
Halted Temporarily.


Washington, Nov. 20.--Actlng under
orders of Secretary Taft, Major Gen
eral Ainsworth, the military secretary,
has directed that further discharges
Of the men of the three negro com
panies of the Twentylffth infantry on
account Of the shooting at Browns
Vile, Tex. be suspended pending fur
Their orders.
The action, it is stated, is in order
to await the return Of Secretary Taft
to Washington and is pending further
advices from President Roosevelt.
The war department has been delug-
ed with protests against the order di-
recting the discharge of the three COM
panies, and it is reported that fur
Their investigation will be made
"The idea seems to prevail that the
men were ordered discharged because
they refused to tell on their compan-
ions and because they are black.
Nothing could be further from the
truth" said Acting Secretary Oliver.
..These soldiers shot up a town. All
of them refuse to tell anything about
the disgraceful affair at Brownsville
which resulted in murder. The com
panies are shielding murderers. There
are men in the companies who are
criminals of the worst sort Every
effort possible has been made by the
war department to find the guilty
men, but without avail. The govern
ment has no means of Furnishing the
