Doesn't "0ver do It."

When Hutter was seen this morn
ing he said, Il have known Dick for
over twelve years. He worked with
me in my fathers shop in Chicago
for more than eight years steady and
we went around together a lot dur
ing that time. No, never knew him
to get drunk" said the bartender in
reply to the reporters question, ''he
drinks, but never overdoes it. -
When asked if he knew anything
about the missing butchers business
affairs. Hutter said he only knows
that Recht is making money. He
stated that the missing man, who is
unmarried, had no women acquaint-
ances upon whom he would be apt
to lavish money and was firm in his
belief that Recht has been the victim
either of foul play or an accident.
Il saw Dick twice Wednesday
evening, said Hutter, ''the first time
he was hurrying to catch the 6:15

he was going and he said, I am 60

any help up at South Chicago and
he said Mayeb I'll telephone to you

Relatives are Alarmed.
When Recht's cashier and book
keeper, Miss May Campbell. came to
work yesterday morning, she found
her employers store locked and
could not locate him. Thinking that
he might have met with an accident
in the store after she left the evening
before, she secured aid and forced
the door. Everything was found to
be in perfect order and the butcher

SAN FRANCISCO NEGCS.
They are Sill Urgent and May Get
Worse.

Denyor.-The Colorado end OF the
relief work in San Francisco is going
along smoothly and Coloradans are
doing much towards bringing order out
of chaos. Mrs. IZetta George of Den
yer, who has supervision over the Colo
RADIO work, writes the Denver Chamber
of Commerce under date of May 18th,
that she and other relief workers are
much in need of blankets and shoes.
She has been telesraphed 10 use her
own judgment in making purchases OF
these articles.
This is her letter In full:
The large box of women's and chill
dren's underwear arrived last evening
and has been greatly appreciated by
the poor receiving it today. The Den.
yer Chamber of Commerce is certainly
doing a great work.
Every day brings a number of Colo
rado people to see me. Mr.. Ramsey
of Santa Rosa, has decided not to go to
Denver at present. 1t does seem as
though San Francisco people ought to
be all provided with clothing by this
time, but find people every day need
ing it, and especially shoes and bed
ding.
Il spent this afternoon at Mrs.
Scotts, 305 Buchanan street. She is a
leading club and society woman here
and has opened her beautiful home as
a relief station. 1t was in ;his house
President Mckinley stayed when in
San Francisco. Mrs. Scott is devotinS
every moment of her time to this work.
and is, as everyone else, discouraged
at the lack of sys;cmatiZ.tion-a
even those who have lived here all
their lives, seem utterly at sea. so do
you wonder that was SO for a week or
more?
LAS | began this letter we had a
severe earthquake shock. You cannot
imagine the weirdness accompany
ing it.
1T was so severe that we all ran
quickly to the street.
eff San Francisco rebui!ds it will be
a brave people who call it home.
How blest Denver is
Il telegraphed this evening for some
blankets. Would you also be SO kind
as to send some outing flannel? The
club women will make it up into gar
ments for the nurses of the city who
lost everything. These nurses were
coming to Mrs. SCOTS residence all
afternoon for clothing.
Everyone here thinks The hardest
times for San Francisco are yet to
come, but ere that time l trust there
will be more order in the relief work.
We are watching for the last Car you
sent. 1t still takes much time TO get
about the city, as few car lines are
operating.
Il am wondering if you get my tele.
grams and letters? / do not get third
of those forwarded from my Office in
Denver. | have written to your COM
mittee several times a week.

Of God. liberty. loyalty to country and
reverence for the home, all sacred in
the hearts of the American people.

children of to-day for the duties of to-

the state participate in the observance
of the day by proper exercises.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state to be affixed, at Denver

seventieth birthday not long ago. Is
still able to enjoy life with the zest
of Peter Pan, nor has he apparent
ly forgotten the delights of stolen
sweets, for the other day, when tenn
perance organizations were under dis

as the true humorist always does)
was this brief remark: Taking the
pledge will not make bad liquor good,

the fruit crop of this county will be at
least double what it has ever pre-

ever produced. It will also be the best
Practical orchard men are now thin
ming the peaches Pruning was heavy
but there are about five times as
many peaches beginning to set as
there should be to have perfect fruit.
For this reason, and to save the
vitality that would naturally go into
these sets, all the fruit men are now
clipping off the peach blossoms so as
to produce an average peach or
seventy-two to eighty to the box. Ap.
pies and cherries are set beyond de-
scription. The trees present a sight
worth travelling thousands Of miles to
see. The great Ashenfelter orchard
will have close to $50 broad gauge

Labor is our great drawback. From
now on 1000 men can secure work.
Unless the labor question is relieved
the fruit growers intend to ship in

to pass, but some consideration must
be given the farmers. The great
crops must be saved.
