Wanted Nesress Buried by His Side.

Lexington, KY, June 12.-William X.
4 pwe, of Florence county; South Care
.-sssla, and his two nieoes, Ethel and Nal
vina Howe, have filed suits here to break
the will of Major B. M. Thomas, the late
noted breeder and turfman. The fea-
lures of the will most bitterly attacked
by the plaintiffs are the clauses wherein
Major Thomas requested that his old
family servant, aunt Marguerite Prior"
be buried by his side in Lexington ceme-
terry, and the one whereby he bequeathed
practically all of his real estate to the
negress. The petition filed by the plain
tiffs alleges that it would be an everlast-
ing disgrace to tho character of Major
Thomas and his relatives to have the
will carried out. They allege that the
negro woman used undue influence over
the turfman during the last few years
OF his life, when his mind was weakened.

Attention has been called TO the
famous temperance declaration re-
ferred to by John g. Woolley in his
recent address at the Oregon State
Prohibition velition, the particu-
lars OF which have not been published
IN many years. 1t is the remarkable
document, first drafted in the year
1884, at the instance of Edward Cor
uelius DeleyaD, founder of the New
York State Temperance Society in
1929, TO which declaration, during
his lifetime, he secured the sigma
lures of twelve Presidents of the
United States. The document was
as follows, together with the names
of Presidents who signed it:
Being satisfied from observation
and experience, as well as from medi-
cal testimony, that ardent spirits as
drink, is not only needless, but
hurtful, and that the entire disuse of
it would tend 10 promote health, the
virtue and happiness of the commu-
nifty, we hereby express our convic-
tion that should the citizens of the
United States, and especially the
young men, discontinue entirely the
use of it, they would not only pro
mote their own personal benefit. but
the good of our country and the

to Office next year who aided or
abetted in the theft of the gov
ernorship last year.
There is a wave of political
righteousness sweeping over the
United States and everywhere the
corporation tools holding high
Office are being swept into politi
cal oblivion.
Colorado will be no exception
to the rule.
1t. therefore. behooves the pat
riotic Republicans of the state,
who really want party victory, to
set to work to wrest party con
troll and party domination from
the influences that are pushing
the chariot over the precipice of
popular wrath.
In every county in Colorado
there should be an immediate
meeting OF Republicans of spirit
and independence and courage,
and organizations should be
formed to save the party from
defeat which is inevitable if the
interests. and influences which
controlled the party in the last
campaign are permitted tc con
troll the next state convention.
Republicans should take coun-
sci of observation and become
wise from experience, instead of
emulating the bourbonic philo-
sophy SO inherent in democracy
that of never learning anything
or forgetting anything.-Pueblo

If any further illustrations of
the depth to which . portion of
the Republican organization in
the state has sunk than the crimi-
nails of two years ago furnish. it
can be had in the recent election
in Denver.
There is the headquarters of the
corporations which control the
Republican party of the state.
and which melted the party organ
ization in the legislature to deeds
of dishonor from which the party
will not recover for many long
days.
These corporations also control
the Democratic organization of
the city of Denver and at the
recent conventions they dictated
the nominees of both political
parties.
The Municipal Ownership
League OF Denver is an organiza-
ton formed six months ago to
afford honest citizens, who desire
to vote their convictions, an op-
portunity to do so without endur-
ing the corrupt and insulting
tyranny of the corp Grafton ridden
political parties of the capital
city.
Last year, through the aid of
ju -icial decisions that were most
unusual, to say the least. the COR
poration Republican party of
Denver ATTAINED all the county
offices. and all the machinery of
election. and the party leaders
who stood for such aggressions
justified their conduct on the
ground that il assured Denver to
the Republicans in every election
for years to come. 4s

THE BRICK INDUSTRY.
Paonia's Best Interests Demaad that it
be Fostered.

be Fostered.
Considerable comment has been
caused in: the last few days be-
cause Delta brick are being con-
tracted laid down in Paonia for
$500 per thousand These ex-
tremely low prices are quite evil
IDENTIFY made for the purpose of
destroying an industry that has
just been established here. and
which at present carries a pay
roll of about S35 per day. Should
the efforts of the Delta company
be successful, great damage
will have been done this place.
To start with. Paonia has as
good brick material as any town
in the county, and with a few
trials will without question turn
out the very best IN the way of a
product Next week kiln will
be opened that will furnish
guide as to what may be expected
in the way of brick. The pro-
prietor OF the home yard. Mr..
Orth. has voluntarily placed the
price on his brick at just the
same as the Delta company.
This he is able to do as he saves
the transportation and loading
charges that they must meet.
Were his yard not in operation
at this time there is no doubt
we should be asked at least $12
per thousand for brick as we were
previous to his starting up. Pao-
MAS every interest demands that
we foster and support this indus
try that we need SO badly. The
heavy pay roll is now all spent in
Paonia among her merchants.
Put our money in Delta and we
never see or hear OF it again.
We hear much of the talk Boost
tor Paonia" but like other talk it
does not go very deep. Those
who are contemplating building
should remember that but for the
local yard they would be COM
PEELED to pay an excessive price
for brick. Therefore they should
be very willing to discriminate
somewhat in favor of the home
institution.
Our splendid school house
stands as monument to our eX-
cellent brick making material. 1t
is beautiful building, prettier
in every way than if built of
the crushed angle worm material
known as shale brick. The brick
IN the kiln that will be opened
next week is made of the same
or little better grade of clay, as
the working is trifle deeper.
Paonia will in the next few
years use millions of brick. Who
can calculate the advantage to
the community to have them
made at home instead of inn

~ Mt csisraAa ADespvcsss Tired q
Party StnltliIcatleef
The glory of the Republieaa
party is that il has chamPioued
the causes most dear to the hearts
Of American freemen. m
Even now the air is filled with
the magnetic thrill OF the great
questions of the COS, and a new
Ore OF patriotism is kindled at every
hearth when we read of the heroic
struggles of Lincoln and Stanton
and Grant.
The success of the Republican
party has been that it not only
championed great causes. but it
fulfilled every obligation and
promise to the people by prompt
and vigorous action when invested
with the robes of authority.
Nationally. the president of the
United States has borne proudly
aloft the banner of the grand old
party, and has added new luster
and greater fame to every fold.
But in Colorado. the party or
ganization has fallen on evil times
and the party banner has too long
been trailing in the quagmires OF
corporate control and public
distrust.
The result at the polls in the
state election of 1904 should have
a wholesome warning to patriotic
Republicans, instead of an oc-
casion for wrecking what little
was left OF the party chariot by
the brazen theft of the governor
ship through the manipulations of
corporations that have no politics
but greed, and no code of honor
but corruption.

Yet, at the present election,
with all the election machinery at
their back, with unlimited money
from the corporations to support
them. the Republican party of
Denver elected only two out of
three election commissioners on
the face Of the returns. and it
elected. also on the face of the
returns. only six out of total of
l6 aldermen; while the corpora
ton Democratic party elected no
election commissioner and eight
of the sixteen aldermen.
And the Municipal Ownership
party. without organization and
without funds, sporadic party of
patriotic citizens, on the face of
the returns elected one commits
sioner and two members OF the
board OF aldermen.
AS a matter OF fact the Munici-
pal Ownership party received
more votes than either of the cor
|porarion- ridden old parties re-
ceived. and in reality elected the
whole of its ticket. but the police
force of the corporation Demo
Gratis and the sheriff's force of the
corporation Republicans pre-
vented anything like fair deal
for the Municipal Ownership
party.
In spite Of it all, though. over
hostile election judges and over
an enormous Doodle fund. over
two compact and old-time party
organizations with all the sanctity
of the party fetish. the protest OF
the people of Denver was SO
strong that the corporation judges
of election could not deprive
them of the Offices enumerated
above.
And what of the Republican
party in Denvera
In a city that is normally and
naturally Republican by 10000
majority. the Republican majority
was swept out of existence.
Do the Republicans of the
state, outside of Denver. want
any more demonstrations of the
utter folly of allowing the Denver
corporations to control the party
organization and the party con-
ventionsa
Surely there should be some
greater reason, some more patri-
otic purpose for holding a state
convention than the sport of rati-
flying slate prepared in advance
by the larger corporations of
Denver.
1t must be apparent to every
sensible person in the state that
no Republican can be elected to
Office next year unless the party
organization is taken from the
control of the corporations and
placed in the keeping OF persons
devoted to party principles and
honest government.
II must be evident to the most
casual observer of current events
that no Republican can be elected

THAT They Are Properly Cared For.
Two men are dead and three more are
lying at the point OF death az the result OF
an explosion in the boiler room OF the steam
yacht Colonia in Oyster Bay harbor yester-
day afternoon. The. vessel which u iSe
feet long, belongs to r. q. Bourne, formerly
the commodore Of the New York Yacht
Club.
With Commodore Bourne, his family and
a party OF friends on board. the Colonia
anchored on the ~Seawanhaka Yacht Club
shortly before noon. Mr.. Bourne and the
members OF his party left at once for Oak
dale, l.. l., Mr.. Bourne's country place.
The yacht was left in charge Of the crew,
who were to begin the work of laying her
up for the winter.
Shortly after Commodore Bourne had
gone ashore and while the en- CINE room force
were at dinner something went wrong
with the feed pipe of one Of the bollers
Engineer John Leonard went below at once
and ordered the fires drawn. but before
this could be done a connection blew out,
filing the boiler room with scalding steam.
As soon as the steam cleared away the
deck force OF the Colonia rushed below
and dragged the injured men on deck.
Engineer Leonard, Fireman Southland and
three stokers were very severely burned.
They were hurried in launches to the rail-
road station at Oyster Bay and carried to
the Nassau Hospital at Mineola in a special
train. Southland and Alfred Grippe. one
Of the stokers. died shortly after reach
ing the hospital. The doctors say that
it is doubtful il the others can ecover.
Commodore Bourne had come on to
New York, but when he heard Of the acct
dent he hurried back to Mineola to sec
the injured members of his crew and direct
that everything possible be done for their
relief.
The explosion was so violent that il
drove pieces Of the piping through the
deck. No fire followed and as far a. could
be learned the yacht was little damag ed.
Mr.. Bourne has had bad luck with his
boats. In February of 1905 his big steam
yacht, the Della ware, was burned while
lying in the ice in the Weehawken Basin.
At the same time the Colonia. which lay
near her. was somewhat damaged and
partly sunk. During the season of 1905,
while ne was commodore Of the New York
Yacht Club, Mr.. Bourne used the Colonia
as his flagship. She is a fast twin screW

Young Man Loses His Life Through Not
Putting Out the Gas.

Putting Out the Gas.
Because he had a dread Of fire and feared
that he would lose his life in case one should
start up at his rOoming place while he
was asleep, Thomas Fletcher, occupying a
furnished room at ITO West Eighteenth
street, always kept his gas jet burning low.
Several times the woman who rented him
the room protested, both because Of the
expense and the fear of accident. She
noticed on Saturday night that Fletcher's
window was open and the gas jet burning
and rapping at the door she warned him
that the wind might blow the light out and
ne would be asphyxiated. He did not heed
her.
The other roomers noticed a smell of
gas yesterday morning. It was traced to
Fletcher's room. Tn door was forced and
he was found dead. The small flame had
been extin guished by the draught. He
