Colorado Feels RulIY.

Colorado will entertain more visi-
tors this summer than in any other
in the history of the state. The
many conventions scheduled, tog eth
er with the ordinary tourist travel,
will bring people here by the thou
sands and tens of thousands. For
tunately we are in a condition to
entertain all of them, and give them
good time, and induce some of
them to stay here and make a home.
For the time being politics is in the
background. We are prosper lous
and contented, and satisfied with the
present administration of affairs,
both national and state. The best
we can ask is a continuance of the
same Order is preserved, property
rights are respected, workers get q
good return for their labor, every
body is busy, the state and all the
component parts of it are growing,
new industries are developing, more
money is being invested, more land
is being reclaimed from the desert,
more crops are raised, more ore dug
out of the mountains, more manufac-
turing going on. 1t is good time
to make hay while the sun shines,
and let we'll enough alone.
1t is a good time to give the cold
shoulder to people who would try to
make us discontented, and induce us
to believe that we are downtrodden
and oppressed and generally miser-
able. We are nothing of the kind.
Colorado feels bully. 1t don't want
any change just now.-Ex.

Sydney Finn. This rese, voir will
be filled by flood waters of Rule

territory, the soil is rich and with

A CRAVE DANGER.

To neglect backache. which is very often the only outward sign that na- ture gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to seri- ous disorders that may end in dropsy, gravel, diabetes or Bnght's disease.
 The kidneys tfilters of the blood lie just beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. As soon as there is any inflammation or conges- ton in the kidneys. you notice a feel ing of uneasiness In the back. then that dull. throbbing pain. changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It Is hard to straighten after stooping, you feel lame in the morning.
 There will be no danger at any time. however. if you begin using Deans Kidney Pills as soon as you notice backache or any irregularity of the urine.

P POL IS
KELLAR.

Kellar the magician, who comes to Polls tomorrow evening, has ap- parently succeeded in suspending the inviOlable law of gravitation and causes whatever he touches to lose it's weight and float about, or remain stationary in the air, wher- ever he wills it. He places a plank in the air horizontally and it stays there. Then he hypnotizes young lady and places her in reclining position upon the plank and both re- main. The effect is startling, for the audience has previously been thoroughly convinced that he has had to resort to no such amateur sll5- terfuges as wires, mirrors or the like to attain the result. Kellar is said to eclipse any previous effort; his marvellous deception entitled '.The Sailor, the Witch and the En- chanted Monkey" being pronounced the most bafiling. deception ever seen on any stage.

Oblivious of their devouring glances, the merchant gave no thought of them. The men drew nearer. Then, at a pre- concerted signal. they set upon the merchant. He cried out for help. but a blood-rusted dagger constrained him to silence.

w. H, CRANE.

William H. Crane and the members of his supporting company come to Polls Friday evening when the gen. ial comedian will be seen in the new farcical comedy, "The American Lord" The play is built upon the amusing idea of compelling an Amer ican, who has had the breath of tho prairies in. his nostrils all of his life, to become a lord against his will. The idea is worked out along sane and amusing lines and the humor is of the kind that is clean and ire sistible. A handsome and elaborate production of the pay has been made and MT Frohman has surrounded Mir Crane with a fine company, the lead- ing woman of which is the well known English actress, Miss Hilda Spong. Throughout its tour-and particularly in Chicago, San Fran cisco, Philadelphia and Boston-the play made a very emphatic hit. Prices are $1.50, $1, 75, 50 and 25 cents. Seat sale Thursday.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Hermany's dogs and cats are tho headline feature at the Jacques this week and last night the bypercritical Monday evening audience forgot itself and enjoyed the animal act hugely. It is entirely different from any dumb turn seen here and the unanimity with which the cats and dogs work to- gether is a marvellous bit of training It will please theatergoers of all class es and the youngsters and ladies will be sure to like 1t immensely. Chas- sino, European shadow pophisr. while offering an act of a type which is never wildly applauded here, made a fine impression by his superb work. His silhouette pictures of animals and birds and racial types of human be ings were most remarkable and con trary to expectation there is plenty of wholesome fun in the turn. Daleys Dixie Serenaders, six coal black ne groes, made a big hit with an act which is a melange of a first part minstrel piece and some plantation scenes. The troupe sings well and the comedy Is not too boisterous. Geigue and Walters, woman with a street piano and man with an eloduent violin also made big hit. The turn has originality as well as merit and should not fail to receive it's share of the honors. Harry La Rose and company present very funny skit "The Sailor and the Horse" which is ingeniously conceiv- ed and capitally played. Neff and Miller 10 a first class black face turn and the Galatas hit the music lovers in the right spot with their magnifi- sent rendering of two big selections from "Rigoletto" and I'll Trovatore." Whatever you do don't miss the pic lures unless you want to escape a long and hearty laugh.

 Whilst the merchant was endeavor- ing to button the coat about his port -ly form, the robbers suddenly took to their heels. Surprised. he glanced down the hitherto deserted street. A patrol of Cossacks was advancing. Fifty yards behind them 8 carriage.
 Calling to the driver to stop. the merchant directed the man to drive him home. As he stepped into the conveyance something rattled metal lically in his pockets. He placed a hand in each. What was this? A watch! He looked-and looked again It was his own! We're these men merely taking part in some practical joke? He examined the contents of the other pocket-money. notes.
 Then the mystery vas made plain to him. Was 1t not the leader that had denuded him of his valuables. And was it not he-no doubt in mo- ment of forgetfulness-who had ex- changed with him his coat? The mer- chant pondered over his discovery for some moments. Then a smile broke over his face.

"New Jerusalem" in its celestial sense, is a phrase familiar to the sing, CTS of hymns and the hearers of ser mons; but it may not be generally known that there is terrestrial New Jersualem" within the bounds of our own empire, says the London Chroni cle. It is settlement in western Australia, and has just been officially inspected by the local minister of lands, the Hon. N. J. Moore. It was founded three years ago by converted Jew named Solomon Fisher. He estab- lished the Church of the First Born," which is apparently a combination of Christianity and Judaism. He obtained a grant of 10000 acres of land from the western Australian government, and there located his settlement, which has now population of 61, who all profess the peculiar faith of the found

 building, called by two names-the synagogue and the social hall Here they all assembled to meet the minis ter of lands, who expressed great sur prise and pleasure at the progress made by the settlement in so short a time.

The residence of Mrs. Parish, on Lena street, was struct tl twice, two holes being knocked in the roof. The tiling on the hearth in the sitting room was torn up and q picture or two knocked from the wall.
