there are faint and dizzy spells, with

STockMAN SHOT.
Wounded by Wouid-he Assassin While
Repairing Fences.

Denver-A Republican special from
Greeley Thursday says: Tom O'Neill,
the well-known stockman, living at
Gault. forty miles north of here, was
shot in the leg to-day by an unknown
party in ambush.
O'Neill was some miles from his
ranch, repairing his fences in lonely
section, when he was startled by
shot coming from the underbrush near
by. 1t was followed by four others in
quick succession. one of which caught
O'Neill in the leg. infiicting severe
wound. O'Neill. though badly Grip
pied. managed to reach his horse and
rode to his home.
Considerable feeling exists between
O'Neill and other ranchmen of the
Gault section. who allege that O'Neill
has fenced certain government lands
on which are the only watering places
for stock for miles around. thus pre-
venting range cattle from getting wa
ter. O'Neill claims he owns the land
fenced and that his fences are CON
stantly being broken down in revenge
by those who do not respect his rights.
Perhaps no region in Colorado re-
tains the characteristics of the West
as it was thirty years ago more than
does the Gault country. Great herds
of cattle feed there and cowboys ride
the range. 1t is alleged that bitter
feud exists between O'Neill and others
and there is danger of a serious out
break at any time which may involve
the whole neighborhood.

DANGEROUS FOOD.
Millions Die by Soothing syrups and
Impure Milk.

Washington.-That more than 1000.
900 infants have been sacrificed to the
various connections known as .'sooth'
ing syrups' and pain killers" and
over twice that number killed by i'm
pure milk, is the declaration made by
Professor II. w. Wiley. chief Of the
chemistry bureau OF the Department
of Agriculture.
1--WE do net know anything about
the milk we have left at our homes, or
the condition under which il is pro
duced," he added. '"There are thou
sand and one possibilities which might
have combined to make what nature
intended for q food the most virile poi
son that chemistry can produce.

daily consume are so fraught with
germ life of harmful nature tha. /

The butter is painted-there is little
other to be found anywhere. Canned
goods are kept years and sold for the

of condensed milk.
IF we know nothing of the fresh
milk we get, surely our knowledge is
more limited to the product that is put
in cans The Lord intended us to re-
sort to cans only. to tide us over one
season, until green fruits could be had
again, but the canneries don't know
this. There is no law requiring them
to stamp the date upon their goods.
II there were, 1t would kill the sale.
1t was the irony of fate that the
Washington butcher who foisted a
fake lamb chop on the market should
send an order of this delectable food
to the home of DIR. Wiley. head OF the
chemical bureau of the Agricultural
Department. whose business 1t is to
investigate foods and see that they are
pure and are all that they are repre-
sented to be.
This extraordinary imitation was
made up of piece of comparatively
unstable meat, probably taken from
somewhere about the neck. A bone
which previously had been in use, be-
cause it showed signs of having been
broiled, or boiled, at some stage. was
carefully inserted in little Sits in the
piece of neck and fastened over with
something resembling cartilages. SO
that the effect at first glance was that
of an ordinary lamb chop.

MINISTER DlSGRAcEp.
Attempts Suicide by Leapins Under
Moving Train.

Chicago.-The Rev Justin NJ. Wade.
pastor OF the First Congregational
Church of Waukegan. Illinois. who
was arrested by postoffice inspectors
for sending obscene letters TO boy,
attempted to commit suicide Thurs-
day by throwing himself in front of
train on the Chicago &; Northwestern
railroad. His injuries did not prove
Immediately fatal.
The train was fast passenger
which bad slowed down slightly pre-
paratory to the stop at the Waukegan
depot. The minister rushed upon the
track and when the engine was about
twenty feet distant threw himself fiat
upon his face He was struck by the
pilot of the engine and hurled many
feet to one side of the track. A large
crowd Of people was on the depot plat
form waiting for the train, and the at
tempt ut suicide was made in plain
view Of them all
Mr.. Wade was conveyed to the hos
pital, where 1t was announced that he
had a chance for recovery. although
the probable outcome of his injuries
could not be predicted.
Church circles of Illinois have been
shaken as never before by revelations
which within the last three days have
wrecked the careers OF three OF the
most prominent clergymen of the state.
Rev. Justin NJ. Wade, Congrega-
tional; Waukegan, Illinois; sending
obscene letters.
Rev. George II. Simmons, Baptist;
Peoria. Illinois; bank wrecker and sui
eide.
Rev. Joha NJ Chattin. Episcopalian;
Chicago; scandal in boys home.
From a nan extolled for his piety
to a man snorn of honor and committed
by his church to an Episcopal retreat
was the fate of the Rev. John NJ. Chat
tin. founder and builder of Chicago
home for boys. Several of the boys
were called to secret conference, and
they openly accused Chattin of serious
crimes. The facts were reported to
bishop Anderson and the accused man
resigned.
Then followed the suicide of the
Rev. DIR. George II. Simmons at Pc
oria following charges. of a most
shocking character brought by mem
bers of boys brigade which he had
formed in connection with the First
Baptist Church, of which he was pas
tor.

Baltifore-The thirty-eighth annual
convention of the Womans Suffrage
Association began here Wednesday
and Will continue until and include
February 18th. The meeting is one o.
the most numerously attended gather
ings ever held by the woman's suf-
fragists in this country. nearly all the
prominent leaders OF the cause being
present.
The honorary president, Miss Susan
b. Anthony, was TOO indisposed to at
tenu, the president of the association,
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, filing the va
cancy.
Governor Warfeld of Maryland de-
livered an address of welcome. The
sponse was made jointly by Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe and Miss Clara Barton,
after which the presidents annual ad-
dress was read by Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw. as follows
While it is true that marriage and
the birth rate have decreased within
recent years, before the results are
charged to the participation of women
in industry one must answer many
questions. AS matter OF fact, 1t is
not new thing for women to be el-
gagged in industrial pursuits.
If conditions surrounding their en-
ploymert are such as to make IL a sc
cial question of The first Importance Ii
is unfortunate that President RoosA
Welt did not see that women, the most
deeply interested factor in the pro-
lew, should constitute at least part
of any commission authorized to inyes-
tigate 1t.
Il trust a resolution will be passed
by this convention to petition the gov
eminent to place women on every com
mission which investigates the ques
tions which SO deeply affect their lives
and the lives of their children.
"One can but wish with the recognized
beside for fair play and his policy of
square deal 1t had occurred to the
President that if 100000 American
women are employed in gainful occupa-
tions. type of justice known to a re-
public would demand that these 5000.
600 toiling women should be enfran-
chised to enable them to secure and
enforce legislation for their own pro-
lection.
''All We are asking for women, the
queens of the home is the unques-
toned right and power to care for its
highest interests through representa-
tiyes whom they may elect and whom
they have power to remove when they
fail to protect those interests.
There never was time when thera
was as great a number OF good house
keepers and home makers. The home
ideal of to-day is the best the world
has yet known and it will continue TO
develop as larger freedom and broader
culture come TO all who share its life"

DENVER BOOSTERS.
Gather at Great Dinner in Brown Pal
ace Hotel.

D@nver-That Charles Mulford Rob
inson's plans for a more beautiful Den
yer have excited the intense interest
of Denver business men was clearly
indicated Wednesday night by the size
and character of the attendance at the
public Improvement banquet given at
The Brown Palace hotel by the Denver
Real Estate Exchange.
Not in recent years has there been
such 4 large and representative gath
ering of the men who are making Den
Yer prosperous and great. Four long
tables running the extreme length of
the Brown Palace banquet room pro
vided seats for more than 400 guests.
Facing the gathering was the head ia
Bile. where the guests of honor and
speakers were seated.
Frederick J. Chamberlin, president
of the Real Estate Exchange, presided
at the head OF the table. At his right
was Mayor Speer. the principal
seated at his left, while around the Ia
BILE were Jacob Fillius, president of
the park commission; Henry Read,
president of the art commission; Pres
ident SpengeI of the Chamber of Com
merce; President Colbran of the Gen
tlemen's Riding and Driving Club.
Mayor Speer advocated modified
plans for the improvements contained
in the Robinson report. The cost
would be extended over period OF
fifty years and the assessment should
be on the property in the east side
park district, territory running from
Larimer street to Montclair and EN-
bracing nearly all the business section
and Capitol hill, containing property
whose real value would be s12O.000,-
600 and which is now without debt.
His plans provide for magnificent
open park or esplanade connecting the
capitol grounds and the court house,
around which shall be situated as
many as possible of the important
public buildings. To this are to be
added other extensive park improve
ments and the opening of the Cherry
Creek and other boulevards.
The following telegram was greeted
with long continued cheers:

ROOSEVELT WINS
HEPBURN RATE BILL PASSED BY
THE HOUSE.
GUT FEW OPPOSING VOTES
Embodies Railroad Regulations Rec
commended by the President -
Gives Commission Power to Fix
Reasonable Rate.

Washington.-The House Thursday
passed the Hepburn railroad rate bill
by vote of 3i6 to !. Those voting
against the bill were: Littlefield, Nc
Call, Perkins, Sibley, Southwick, Vree-
land and Weeks.
The bill, according to Mr.. Hepburn's
statement in closing the debate on the
measure, was intended-and did. SO far
as it could be made, be said-to COM
ply specifically with the recommends
tions of President Roosevelt on the
rate question.
1t gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission authority when rate has
been complained of as unreasonable
by shipper to investigate that rate,
state whether or not it is unreasonable
and, if found to be unreasonable, to
name a rate that 1t is 10 be just and
reasonable and fairly remuneratiye,
which is to be the maximum rate to be
charged.
The rate so fixed is to go into effect
thirty days after it is announced by
the commission. subject during that
time to be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts At
ter it has gone into effect it is to re-
main the rate for three years. During
that time the opinion has been ex-
pressed by those who have partici-
pated in the debate, the rate may be
reviewed by the courts and if found TO
be in conflict either with the terms OF
the act or with the constitution by be-
ing confiscatory, can be set aside by
the courts.
Another important feature is the
definition of the word railroad" and
transportation, in manner to in
clude ali auxiliary instrumentalities
to the common carrier and to bring
them within the power and control OF
the commission. This power to name
a reasonable rate and the inclusion OF
the auxiliaries within The jurisdiction
of the commission are said to be the
new features.
All other provisions are modifica-
tions of existing laws. They include
publicity of railroad methods, which is
TO be aided by prescribing a system
of bookkeeping and enlarSing the COM
mission to seven members and increas-
ing salaries of members to $4,000 q
