He Wa. One of Them.

There is a congressman from 4
northwestern state who not long ago
expressed his sense of great vexa-
ton when a certain private pension
bill came before the house, for, while
his personal convictions were directly
opposed to its passage. yet his po-
litical interests were strong enough to
whip him into line. On the afternoon
when the bill came up for final dispo-
sition colleague met the northwest
ern representative nervously pacing
up and down the cloakroom, mutter-
ing to himself and gesticulatina with
much emphasis.
What's up?" asked the fellow slem-
ber why this excitement"
There's trouble enough for any
body" exclaimed the wrousht-up mem
her, THAT pension bill is up. and
every cowardly nincompoop in the
house Is going to vote for it. It's
sure to pass, man; it's sure to rass!i
"If you feel that way about it,"
suggested the colleague, why don't
you go on the floor and speak against
it?"
Speak against it," scornfully re-
peated the excited statesman. Speak
against it! Why. I'm one of the cow

MR.. GUGoEMHEiM's RESIDENCE
IN COLORADO.

Just what campaign speakers and
campaign newspapers expect to gain
with the people by misrepresentins
facts is one of the mysteries of our
civilization. That they expect to profit
by such Misrepresentation there can
be no doubt and that they never 30
so profit is equally certain.
One of the favorite statements OF
Democratic orators these days is that
Mr.. Simon Guggenheim has only lived
Ii Colorado year or SO. Yet cvcrj7
person who has lived in the state a
dozen years knows this is untrue. and
especially should those campaigning
for Mr.. Adams know that 1t Is untrue.
Mr.. Guggenheim was nominated for
acknowledgement in 1896 on the Fm.
sion ticket which Alva Adams headet
and with the full approval of Mr.. All
ans representatives in the fusion com
mittee.
Mr.. Guggenheim declined to become

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Colorado Legislature viii Be Re
oueated 10 Act.

Denver.-Headed by Thomas F.
Walsh, prominent business men have
banded together to advance the good
roads movement in Colorado. At an
informal meeting held in the Denver
Club ON Wednesday night. and al
which Mr.. Walsh was present, 1t was
decided to ask the Legislature at its
coming session to provide for an ap-
preparation of 100000 to be ex-
pended in building good roads in the
state.
Those who agreed to the proposition
affixed their signatures to paper in
which they pledged themselves to take
an active part In getting the money
required.
The bill proposed for its passage is
one which will call for an appropria-
ton of the sum mentioned, although
this amount need not be set aside in
one year. 1t provides that when a
county applies for money from this
state fund 1t shall agree to give an
equal sum to that asked for out OF its
own treasury, SO that II the measure
Should become a law 1t in reality
would provide for the expenditure of
100000 upon the public highways.
Those interested in the scheme with
Mr.. Walsh comprise some Of the
wealthiest business and professional
men in the city, and their arguments
before the Legislature will not lack
weight.

Again in 1898 Mr.. Guggenheim was
nominated for governor by the Silver
Republican party. with the understand
ii.a that he was to have the nomina-

He accepted this nomination in a LEI.
ter which has never had its equal in
the history of tie state as clear aud
patriotic exposition of conviction upon
public questions. After the RepuD,i-
cans nominated Mr.. Henry Wolcott for
governor Mr.. Guggenheim withdrew
from the race.
In 1904 Mr.. Gngsenheim vas can
didate for elector for President Roose-

The fact is that Mr. Guggenheim has

Combining SILK and Cloth.

II Is odd to notice how effective IS
the combining of silk and cloth. 1t
reminds one of the time when taheta
gowns were trimmed with cloth.
fashion that was smart and never be-
came common. Now this reversal OF
the combination, the trimming OF
cloth with taffeta. is more popular
even than that was, and the great
danger is that 1t may become too pop
ular, the usual fate of fashion that
is unusual and worth following. In
light shades as we'll as in dark this
style of trimming is much in demand.
But the great danger to the inexpert
dressmaker is in the difficulty of get
ting a shade of silk that looks well
with the cloth. 1t is a great mistake
to choose any shade that is not an
exact match. A color slightly on
completely ruins what would be 9TH

STANDARD OIL FINED.
ohio Judge overrules Motion for New
Trial.

Trial.
Findlay,, Ohio.-ln. Probate Court
here Monday, Judge Banker overruled
the motion filed by the attorneys of
the Standard Oil Company for new
trial and imposed fine of $1,000 and
costs of the prosecutions in the recent
suit against the Standard Oil Company
here.
On motion of the defense, the court
lordered. that the defendant company
be allowed forty days in which to pre-
pare and file its bill of exceptions in
the case, and on another motion by the
Standard Oil attorneys, Joseph o.
Troup of Bowling Green, Ohio. and S.
H. Tolles of Cleveland. the sentence
imposed was ordered suspended for a
period of sixty days for the purpose OF
Ming a petition of error in this case.
1t was also ordered that the criminal
informntions pending against John ID.
Rockefeller, the Buckeye Pipe Line
Company and the Manhattan Oil Com
pany be continued until the next term
of court.
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
was the limit for one offense, though
the law stipulates that each day that
the illegal combination business is car
ried on constitutes a separate offense.
Taking this view of the statutes. it
was possible for the court to impose
an aggregate of fines amounting to
over sc 600 600
