John Gehr Badly Stabbed

John Gehr, well known in Garfield
county, who several years ago organ
lied many unions and took promi
nent part in the labor struggles of the
United Mine Workers of America and
was one of the best known labor lead.
ers of Colorado at that time, was
severely stabbed in the back of the
head Tuesday in Williamsburg, dur
ing saloon brawl and will probably
die. Gehr got into dispute with
Tom aud John Thomas, couple OF
minels. over labor questions, which
ended by one of the Thomas boys
striking him with his fist. Several
of Thomas friends jumped in to help
him give Gehr beating and after
Thomas had stabbed him with knife
Gehr pulled his gun and seriously
wounded both the Thomas boys.
At the time of the adjustment Of
the last strike Gehr was one of the
men sent as committee to confer
with President Roosevelt. At the
outbreak of the last coal strike Gehr
was district organizer for Colorado
and also member of the National
board. He opposed the strike and al
convention of the miners at Pueblo
he was relieved of his Office which was
given to DeMolli. Later he tried
ranching and but little has been heard
from him the past two years.

He Tested SCOpOIdrium

A great deal has been said recently
concerning scopolarium, the new
anaesthetic which is now being used
by physicians in large eastern cities
to take the. place of chloroform in
surgical operation but it is probably
true that w. Fl. Harris. drummer
for Chicago packing house, is the
first man having undergone the use of
the drug, to visit Glenwood.
A Post reporter struck mp an ac-
quaintance with Mr. Harris Wednes
day morning and during conversation
was told the following story:
Yes, l am not as robust as l have
been in former years but l have only
been seven weeks out of Chicago
hospital where l was operated on for
consumption of the stomach. And
say, l was the fifth man in Chicago
on which scopolarium was used-ot
course you know what that isl The
discovery of scopolarium is one of the
greatest evolutions of medical science
and l will tell you why. 1t is drug
that has all the effects of ether in
deadening the nerves but leaves the
brain perfectly clear, and one could
sit and watch surgeons cut his own
limbs from the body and not feel a
pang of pain, as far as that is con.
cerned However. where the drug is
used chloroform is also given-just
enough to put the patient to sleep.
This is done because it is claimed that
the sight of an operation on ones own
person might cause the action of the
heart to stop through fright. "
Mr.. Harris said that he was
thoroughly under the influence of
scopolarium before he was taken to
the operating table and while dead
to the sense of feeling knew and could
see exactly what was going on around
him until chloroform was admins
tere1. He says that scopolarium
leaves no bad, weak, sickly feeling
after its effect wears off, which is OF
the utmost importance to surgery, it
taking only about half the strength to
undergo an operation with the new
drug as it does with chloroform.
The above proves conclusi vely that
scopolarium is all that has been
claimed for it by the eastern ply
sicians and no doubt ere another
twelve months have passed the new
drug will be in general use through
out the world, and will be the means
of saving thousands of lives each year.
Score another point for medical
science in the discovery Of scopolarium
and for the benefit of the human race

could not consider an acceptance at
that time. With this remark Drach
sprung to his feet and said he would
nominate one whose democracy had
never been questioned, who never
skulked in his tent; although he had
many enemies also had many friends.
II nominate for mayor the honorable
chairman of this meeting, Major s.
J. DeLan.'' No sooner had Drach
finished the sentence than DeLan, who
by this time was on his feet, threw
his right hand in the air and with
gesticulation of thankfulness ex-
claimed: Gentlemen. never shirk
duty in democracy, may be defeat
ed but I will r,ake the race and
whether you vote for ME or not will
do my best Dlach then put the
motion and declared the major the
unanimous" choice of the conven-
tion.
Next came the selection of cam
paign committee which some one sug-
gested should consist of three. Ma
pier moved to amend by making it
fifty but his Ievity was not appreciated
by the chair who declared that the
committee was necessary as the labor
of conducting campaign should not
be left to the candidates themselves
because any one who accepts nomi
nation from convention as cold as
this surely has burdens enough to
bear was the majors parting shot.

An Enjoyable Dinner

The most elaborate dinner ever
given in Glenwood Springs to such a
large company of people was given
on March 10, by Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Dougan in honor of Dr. Sanford Bell, of
the State University.
Near the appointed hour for dinner
the guests, DR.. Bell, the teachers in
the schools, the school board, Mrs.
King, Mrs. Alice Clark and Mrs. Ma
pier assembled in the beautifully deco
rated and lighted parlors of the Dou-
gan home. At o'clock the doors of
the dining room were opened display
ing view like fairy land, consisting
of banks OF red, green, and white car
nations, festoons and hangings of
smilax, fine china, silver and cut
glass. The dinner needs no descrip-
tion for the generosity and hospitality
of the president Of the school board
and his charming wife, together with
the fact that Mrs. Dougan is real
artist in arranging an effective table
and serving dinner made up of all
the good things known to culinary
art.
During the seventh course Mr..
Dougan arose, toasted the guest of
honor. DR.. Bell and called upon Mrs.
Tully who responded with her custo-
mary wit, and after drinking the
health of DR.. Bell called upon that
gentleman for a speech. AS this is
quite in his line he addressed the
company with his customary ease and
grace, complimenting the schools of
Glenwood Springs, saying they had
never been in as good condition as at
the present time; that he considered
this attributable to the able superin-
tendent, Mr.. King, to the fine prin
cipal, Mr.. Reed aud to the excellent
grade teachers, as we'll as the school
board. Mr.. King and and Prof. Reed
in short speeches thanked DR.. Bell for
his words of praise
Mrs. Alice B. Clark made an ex
ceedingly witty speech that brought
forth peals of laughter.
G. c. Parks was then called upon
and said that DR.. Bell had said lie
looked forward to coming back here,
but said he was rather backward in
coming forward when called upon to
make speech. However, he made
oon1 talk ronp1 NJ aptary to tha antire
corps of teachers and to the board.
B. 7. Napier said that in his new role
of wit" he was somewhat at sea
just how to proceed. He stated that
he was little like the lady on the
witness stand who insisted upon pre-
facing her sworn oath with 81 think"
and when the lawyer told her that
she must desist from this form of
speech and SPEAK positively, she re-
piled: 81 am no lawyer. can't talk
without thinking" Said he had
watched the schools closely for the
past twenty years and considered them
in the best condition today they had
ever been; that he had already proved
what he thought of the schools by
mastering up courage some ten years
ago to marry good part of the school
at that time, and seemed to think that
we were now looking forward to G.
G. Parks pursuing the same policy.
Borst u orchestra furnished excel.
lent music during dinner and for the
rest of the evening.
About midnight every one wished
their excellent host and hostess and
DIR. Bell good night.

Switzler, "in some respects the most

could not begin a career at this time.
The people would not tolerate him. He
would impress even a stranger by his
appearance. He walked as IL he owned

back he would stalk with measured
tread down the street, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, recognizing no

at 2 O'Clock, promptly at 2 o'clock he
would arrive. He would come in his
carriage unattended. He would permit
no one to introduce him. but, passing
through the crowd, he would make his
way to the rOstrum and begin, 'Citk

zens.' Those before him We're no fel-
lows Of his. And when he had conclud.
cd he would make his way back to the
hotel without personally addressing a

ent to ask him how he stood on any
