OIL PAINTINGS.

With n Little Care They May Easily
Be Cleaned.
Many good picture that has looked
dark and dirty for years from having
been exposed to the dust can easily be
cleaned and freshened in u very sim
pie way. The picture should be taken
from its frame and busted carefully
with soft cloth. Peel large potato
and cut 1t In half. go over the whole
picture with sponge that has been
dipped in tepid water, then with the
fat side of the potato rub the surface
of the picture with light circular
movement, being careful not to press
too heavily on the canvas The potato
will soon begin to loosen the dirt and
the colors underneath will begin TO
show brighter. When all the stains
and dirt have been removed the pie
ture should be sponged again in warm
water. care being taken to wash off
any starch that may have been left
from the potato.
In case the picture is badly cracked
as little water as possible should be
used, as it is apt to ooze under the
paint and do some injury.
Many oil paintings are injured by the
dampness from the walls on which
they are hung. The dampness is apt
to cause the canvas to decay, and
there are few canvases made to resist
its attacks. To prevent this particular
form of decay the back of the canvas
should be painted when perfessay dry
with white lead.

Dozen Visitors Help to Make
Merry-Talks on Railroads

Questions

The Commercial club had its
Thanksgiving luncheon in the dining
room OF Unity church last Monday
evening, aud the spread was worth
the name. alright.
There were about dozen visitors
there from Denver and from Mus
catine. Iowa. The latter are asso-
ciated with w. L. Clayton and W.
d. Boutwell, in the starch making
business. They were Il. W. Huttig,

ators Barela of Las Animas county,
Anfenger of Denver; c. A. MCGUIRE
and J. L. Donahue. Most of the
visitors were called upon for remarks
during the evening.
The talk that created the most
lively interest was that of Senator
Clayton on the matter of electric and
other new railroads for this section.
He spoke of the need of railroads
through the rural sections, and then
took fall out of the four local banks
on account OF their seeming in
terest in tine Lone Tree & st. vrain
railroad company, said to be orga-
nized by local men for the benefit Of
the Union Pacific, and said to be
trying to hamper James D. House
man in his efforts to build an elec-
trio line in this section. The in
corpnrators of the Lone Tree & ST.
Vrain railroad company are nearly
all high officials in one or the other
of the four banks here, and this gave
the senator his opportunity to hop
on the banks.
President j. NJ. B. Petriken of the
National Bank, explained that the
banks we're not trying to hamper
Mr.. Houseman, in his work, but that
they wanted to see both lines built.
Finally resolution was passed,
putting it up to the board of direc-
tors of the club to see that every
body got square deal in the matter
insofar as the Commercial club could
have any influence.
III. c. Watson and c. Rugh spoke
on the present condition In the

shortage of potato cars. Frank l..

that Greeley was entitled to larger

GOOD COMPANY AT
THE PEOPLES THEATER

Gordon & Bennett are Offering the
patrons of the Peoples theater the best
thing in the way Of drama that has
visited that theater this season, and
it must have been a surprise to the
audience last night to see a play put
on at this house. with all special seem
cry for every act, not a stick of house
scenery being used in the production.
"A Royal Slave" Is the production, and
the strange thing is why did such a
company of clever players have to
play at cheap theater when many in
ferior attractions are booked in the
best houses. This company, which is
larger and far more capable than many
of the travelling organizations of like
character, Is made up of good talent,
while the costumes are far about the
average.
The scenes of the play are laid in
Old Mexico, and the plot forms an in
teresting story of the life in that
romantic country during the reign of
the Sun Worshipers." There are a
number of important parts in the cast,
but the most prominent is that of Ell
Agila (the eagle), last of the Monte
zumas, and in the hands of Mr..
Humphrey it was well handled, bring
ing out every point to the best advan-
tage. Marie Van Tassell, as the count
ess, looked and acted the part of a
scheming mother and showed herself
to be an actress of ability. There are a
number of pleasing specialties intro
duced, the singing of Harry Hoyt and
the Spanish dance of little Hazel Rice
being worthy of special mention. The
company continues at this house for
the remainder of the week, with a
matinee Saturday afternoon.

UNWRITTEN LAW
WILL Be DEFENSE
PRISONER PLEADS KILLING
WAS JUSTIFIED
Jurors Are Asked II They Have
Prejudice Against Insanity Claim
Sister Of Murdered
Man TestIfIes

The unwrltten la Of a mans right
to vengeance upon the betrayer of HIS
daughters honor will probably be the
defense Of w. T. Wilson, who is now on
trial before a jury in department of
the superior court on q charge of hav-
ing murdered Wallace Belden, a young
musician.
The shooting occurred at Long Beach
August 20, and Belden was killed OUT
right by the desperate father of pretty
little 16-year-old Natalie Wilson.
Belden was the trap drummer in the
Long Beach band, while Wilson, his
wife and step-daughter, managed a
small refreshment booth near the
grandstand.
On August 20, according to Wilson's
statement before the shooting, his
daughter told him that Relden had in
duced her to go with him to a certain
house in Long Beach, and he had there
assaulted her.
The girl had hardly finished her story
when Belden appeared at the booth and
lounged on the counter and asked for
drink. At that time, with the grief
of their daughter still fresh before
them, both Wilson and his wife were
in desperate frame Of mind.
Woman Shoots
According to the statements of Long
Beach officers, Mrs. Wilson snatched
UP a revolver and fired twice at Bel
den but missed him. In the meantime
Belden made a break for his liberty,
and Wilson, securing his shotgun,
dashed after the fleeing drummer and
had all but succeeded in reaching him
in crowd near the bath house when
officer Folsom appeared and. disarmed
the excited parent.
A warrant was sworn out by Belden
against Wilson anG the date for the
preliminary examination on a charge
of assault with intent to kill was set
for August 20 at the Long Beach court
house.
Wilson was released on bail end was
to appear for trial along with Belden,
who was to be the prosecuting wit
ness. AS Belden walked along Pine
avenue toward the court house Wilson
is alleged to have suddenly stepped be-
fore him and TO have fired four shots,
all the bullets tails effect in the
mans body.
AS Belden fell Wilson was heard to
say: IT had to do it; couldn't stand it
any longer"
When Wilson was arrested and
brought to Los Angeles Tor safe keep
ing his friends came to his aid but were
unable to furnish bail for him and he
has since remained in the county jail.

Wants to Eject Japanese

The trouble that started the contro-
versy in which Mr.. Moshenberger en-
gagged last night originated in the de-
sire of r. l.. Bennett owner of the
building at 1922 East First street to
eject the Japanese owners of the pool
room and put in a wholesale liquor
store. The liquor store would have
paid much better rental than the pool
room, incidentally, but Bennett said he
Cared nothing for that.
e. Bailey, who served as attorney for
Bennett, had four witnesses who said
that the pool room was disorderly, that
fights occurred almost continually, that
gambling was carried on and that
liquor was sold without a license. The
witnesses who appeared for the Ben
nett side of the case were: William
Goldforb stated that he had played
pool for 25 cents a game in the hall at
1921, and that the Japanese took q
cut of cents when money was played
for. He also testified that he had a
drink in the telephone booth, and that
a friend bought it.
j. Rozin stated that he had also
played pool in the place for money, and
that it had made a confirmed gambler
of him. In fact, the habit of betting
which he acquired in the place had
ruined him. He told the commission
how he bought William Goldforb a
drink in the telephone booth and paid
20 cents for it.
