A new and unwelcome visitor has
been recognized in England. he Is
the Surinam cockroach. and Is de-
structive to greenhouse plants. The
insects are believed to have been in
troduced in a consignment OF orchids-
The town of Thurso, Scotland,
comes to the front with a family rec
ord which will not be beaten easily.
John Gibson, 81 years old, still follows
his duties as superintendent OF some
flagstone quarries. Among the work
men he has seven sons, six sons-in-
law, 29 grandsons, four grandsons-in-
law and two great-grandsons. Forty
nine members Of one family, all con-
nected with the same trade, employed
In the same works, and living In the
same district, is something decidedly
out of the common.
Baron Rothschild, head Of the
French branch of the family, recently
received a curious legacy. This was
the fortune of an ancient beggar
named Abraham F'idler, who died In a
garrett at Nice, and was found to pos
sess 1,250,OO0 francs. He bequeathed
It to the other millionaire, on the plee
that money must seek money
Baron Rothschild was not Of the opin'
Ion. in this case at any rate, and he
proceeded to hunt up the lamented
riders relations, three OF whom
were found at Odessa and fourth a
Brooklyn. The legatee divided thu
million and quarter among them-

STRAINED CONCLUSION.

Send M. ID Vincent to the
LEGISLATURE and you send Roose
welt word that you are not only IN
favor of what he is doing, but tha'
Won are in favor of aiding him to
do other things. A republican U.
5. senator will help the president
and a republican representative
from Delta county Will vote Ior d
republican U S. senator.-Delta
Independent.
We reason from the events OF
the past to those of the future In
the last congress the Presidents
best friends were the democrats
His republican senators turned
his rate bill over to his worst
democratic enemy, Senator lill-
man. The President has not been
helped by his party in carry
ing out hisreform ideas. 1T
our friend Mr.. Vincent is elected,
which is very doubtful, he will
probably support Simon Guggen-
helm for the senate. How much
support will the President get
from the head and front Of the
smelter trust? Even a republican
editor should be able to compre-
hend that without diagram. Mr..
Vincent is a gentleman whom we
all like, but we should dislike very
much to see him elected represen-
tative tor the reason that he would
vote for Guggenheim or some
other trust supporter who would
antagonize our excellent President
in carrying out the reforms upon
which he has SO earnestly EN-
barked 1t is not a strong argu-
ment to advance in favor OF the
election of a republican re
preventative that he will vote for
republican Tor the senate. SO tar
the Presidents ablest supporters
have all been democrats.

EVEN Myron Reed, the man of
the people, the non sectarian, the
greatest mind ever known to the
Colorado clergy, would not mark
time" as he expressed it himself,
as political candidate. Then
what of Buchtel, the corporation
tool, the SNUG man of the Lord
who caters to the rich, who lauds
Peabody for his policy of eviction,
who is denounced by organized
labor from end to end OF the state,
who stands on platform which
glorifes theft and crime and the
trampling down of law-what of
his chances before the people !?

years ago that they did not want

WE observe that Mr.. Tew, candi-
date on the democratic ticket tor
congress from the first district,
refuses to withdraw from the
Lindsey ticket. The proper thing
to do is for decent democrats in
the first district to support the
republican candidate for congress.
The fact of Tew's treacherous
work marks him as man utterly
unfit to hold any official position
on democratic platform. If we
were in the first district we should
go down the line against Mr.. Tew.

THE Republican party, owned
and officered by William G. Evans,
recognizes that its safety depends
upon the makeup of the supreme
court of this state. That court is
the Gibraltar of the corporation
cause. If that fortihcation fails
its entire line of defense is destroy
ed. The army of plunder marshal
ed by the predatory interests may
as we'll be disbanded. 1t will be
helpless to make further forays on
the peoples rights,-Hon. T. J.
O'Donnell.

THE Denver Democrat has fol-
lowed the flesh pots into the cor
poration camp. They are doing
their best to defeat the democratic
ticket and all; we judge, to hold the
legal notice patronage OF the city.
They were very insistent before
the convention to know whether
the reform element would bolt if
they were defeated in the conven-
ton. We now understand why.
They knew they would bolt under
those circumstance and were con.
sequently suspicious of their
opponents
The newspaper., 1906-10-19

In another column we reprint
an editorial utterance of the Ouray
Herald. 1t is logical and to the
point and is in refreshing con.
trast with those utterances of
subsidized republican sheets that
first yowled about what they would
do and then bent their willing
necks to Gabbert's yoke. We
imagine the bulk of the self
respecting republicans will follow
such papers as the Herald.
The newspaper., 1906-10-19

IT is stated by those in a posi-
ton to know that the republicans
are putting up money for the So
ciallst campaign. Of course there
are hot denlals from both sides
but it has been done before and
we doubt not is being done right
now. Some day after socialism
has grown and hourished allie
samee populism under their foster
ing care, the republicans will come
for relief to the democracy as
they did in the popalist case. The
republicans are always keen to
raise up side shows that they hope
will carry them through a single
campaign. They never build for
a future, possibly because they
cannot imagine anything so utter
lv worthless a. the republican
party, having a future.

NEW ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR PALESTINE
ANNOUNCED THE PALESTINE
ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY
WILL BUILD EVERYTHING NEW

Col. Geo. w. Burkitt is in the city,
and he announces he is here to stay,
at least for several months, until
some contemplated improvements in
the electric light plant are made.
These improvements, he told a Her
aid man, include the rebuilding of
the plant, lock. stock and barrel
He says that first new power
house will be built, modern in all it's
appointments. and that two powerful
$50 horsepower boilers of most mod
ern type have been bought, and that
an equipment of new engines and dy-
namos will be purchased as soon as
the best types can be decided upon.
And upon these as a basis to work
upon the entire system will be re-
built. He says it is the determination
to make the new plant second to none
in the South.
Col. George says he has his dander
up now, and he is going to show the
people of Palestine what a sure
enough electric light and power plant
is. He says he has not been unmind-
full of the faults and shortcomings of
the present plant. 1t was built for a
village. and the city has just simply
outgrown it. True, additions have
been made from time to time. in an
effort to keep up with the increased
but all the efforts made
have proven inadequate
The contemplated new plant, al.
ready planned, and on which work
will soon begin. he says. will be built
with an eye to the future, and that
when the work is completed Palestine
will have a plant that will meet all
requirements for years to come. As
he expressed it. I'VE have been trying
to pull Il big loaded wagon with a pair
of donkeys long enough. We are 60

FARMER WAS TOUCHED
FOR FIFTY DOLLARS
HAD SOLD HIS COTTON AND WAS
SPENDING THE NIGHT IN A
LOCAL WAGON YARD.

Mr.. w. l. Raines, a well known
farmer of this county, was robbed of
$4,000 in this city last night. He was
spending the night at a wagon yard
in Old Town.
There are some unique features con-
nected with the robbery. Mr. Raines
came to the city yesterday with cot
ton, and'afteH selling it went to the
wagon yard to spend the night, ex-
peeting to leave this morning for his
home. When he retired he had in
his possession a roll of bills approxi-
mating $4,000. and some cotton re-
ceipts. This morning when he walked
up he had a roll containing only $4,000
and his cotton receipts were also
gone. He figures that the thief
thought the cotton receipts were
checks, or else he got the bills and
the cotton checks mixed in the dark,
and left part of the, money through
mistake. Mr.. Raines also mad $1,000
in silver which was not disturbed.
So far as made public there is no
clue to the thief. 1t is a severe loss
to Mr.. Raines.
