When. however, the last battle had

Mr.. Clarke saw them crawling round

impulse came to him to climb tho

Of tho cross. Accordingly at dusk.

and, reaching up. touched the top of
the cross
After enjoying his moment OF exalta-

and. with hls arms round the post,
slipped down over the great abdomen
Of the ball. His feet touched nothing.
Tho little plank from which ho had

Here was peril and ono for q cool

not look down. Tho hugglng hold that
he had to keep on the bottom Of the
cross shortened the reach Of his body
and made 1t less than when he had
stood on the plank and reached up to
the cross with his hands. Ho must
drop 50 that his feet should meet the
plank, for ho would never be able to
pull himself back If he should let HIM
self down at arms length, and his
feet hung over empty air.
Now his good head began to work
He looked up At the cross and tried
to recall exactly tho anglo Mt which he

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

There has been some complaint
lately regarding the danger that ex-
lists at the Fifth street railway cross
ing. 1t seems that during the past
few weeks several people have mar
rowly escaped being run down by
switching trains and regular trains.
Active efforts for protection are be-
ing made by some parties to have a
fiagman placed at this crossing for
permanent duty. 1t is asserted that
there is more switching done over
this crossing than on any other cross
ing in the city and as the passing of
wagon, and lighter vehicles and peo-
pie on foot over this crossing is very
heavy there is considerable danger.
The matter of having a flagman
placed at this point will probably be
brought up before the city council.

We can see no reason whatever
why any western slope man should
vote for anyone for congress, save
DR.. w. w. Rowan. of Ouray, the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. Hogg de-
voted all of his last term in congress
to a defense of the railroads and
would not vote for President Roose-
velt's railway rate law. He repre-
sented the western slope of Colorado.
in about as large degree. as he did
the Hawaiian islands. He removed
from Telluride to Pueblo and forgot
that he had ever lived in Telluride
or on the western slope. While he
was telling jokes Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming secured appropria-
ions for three public buildings in
towns not so large as Grand juno
tion. This city need never expect
a public building with Warren Hag-
gott in the seat of the representative
of the second district. His interests
are foreign to our own and we will
occupy the same position as we did
under Mr.. Hogg. With DR.. Rowan
elected We may hope to secure some
thing for western Colorado.

In all that has been said anent
the candidacy of Mrs. Breeze, no po-
sitive announcement of her fitness
for the position to which she aspires
has come from her party. The Demo-
cratic nominee, Prof. Thompson of
Palisade has been free to give his
experience in school work and it has
been a large one. He stands not
upon his political faith, but upon
his fitness to fulfill the duties of the
office to which he aspires. The only
contention made for Mrs. Breeze is
the one made in a half injured man.
ner that it is heaping abuse on her
to oppose her, because she is a wom-
an. Now if the good people of Mesa
county desire to maintain an asy-
lum for individuals in the public
offices, who are good people, but
have no particular capacity for the
Office to which they aspire, save that
threadbare argument that "they need
the position" Then we say elect that
class of people. But we hardly think
that such argument should prevail,
where the interests of our schools and
our children are concerned.

The third term idea is just as re-
