BODY LAY IN STATE.
Honors to the Late Henry c. Brown in
State Capitol.

Denver.-At o'clock Sunday morn
ing the great bronze doors to the west
entrance of the Capitol swung open to
receive the casket containing all that
was mortal of Henry c. Brown. the
man who had donated the most beauti-
fut site in Denver to the state for its
government building.
II was fitting that for n few hours at
least this honor should have been be
slowed on the generous donor and in
trepid pathfinder. \ catafalque draped
in heavy black broadcloth had been
erected upon which the coffin rested.
At the head and foot two guardsmen
took their positions and watched the
body until IL O'Clock. when it was re-
moved TO the home of James II. Brown
for the final service. Tine west corri-
dor of the capitol had been appropri-
ately decorated. on each pillar was Il
standard of furled flags fastened with
Grape streamers. The archways We're
curtained with the national colors
draped in graceful folds, and held in
place by rosettes of black. There We're
no flowers, and the lights shone softly
on the waXen features of the dead as
1000 men, women and children from
all walks of life reyerently passed be
fore the bier taking their last look at
the familiar face of the dead.

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED E?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
Al. Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"a horse is valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed, comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomcd and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required none of these
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself The domesticated
animal. being worked under condi-
lions that are in themselves artificial,
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping OF horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to horses well being as shoeing
him or giving him a comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after a hard days work,
and will rest comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More
especially is this SO in the early
spring. when his hair is long and he
is soft" If worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food
that should go to nourish him will be
used to replenish the heat that is be-
H. L.
by the mass of cold wet hair. If
clipped, the perspiration will evapor-
ate almost as soon as secreted. and
when put in the stable he rests com
fortably and his food does him good.
Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
in the following manner: They own
ed 500 horses, and $50 of these were
clipped early in the spring and $50
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results. and it was found
that of the go unclipped horses 1913
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health If he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear, a heavy suit and fur overcoat,
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would, go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu-
lous to expect horse to be in perfect
health if worked under the same con-
ditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse.
treat him right, and he sure and

Burning Kansas Gas Well.

Cancy. Eans.-An attempt to cap the
great well six miles from Caney, which
has been burning thousands of feet of
gas daily since February Esd, was
made Saturday and failed. When an
immense steel hood was run up to
within twenty-five feet of the well, the
truck carrying the crane needed to
raise the hood left the rails. At about
the same time n steam pump used TO
force water upon the men while they
work broke down. So intense was

There are towns in Hungary, and
small towns, too, where from seven to
ten idioms are constantly being used.
On the Galacian frontier there is in a
lovely valley the old town of Eperjes,
The number of its inhabitants does not
exceed 10000. To this day the good
people of Eperjes are in the habit of
talking or being talked to in six differ
ent languages and several dialects. An
ordinary household will include a Slo-

markable, each grade of society clings
to its own language for centuries.

MINE HORROR IN FRANCE.
Explosion Causes Loss of Over One
Thousand Lives.

Paris.-A mine catastrophe of meal
culable horror and magnitude has
stricken the great coal center OF
northern France. An explosion of fire
damp at O'Clock Saturday morning
carried death and destruction through
out the network of coal mines centered
at Courrieres, and fire followed the ex-
plosion, making rescue difficult and al
most Impossible.
The intense excitement and com
fusion in the vicinity prevented early
estimates of the exact loss of life, but
Il dispatch received here at i:35 p. m.
gave 400 miners entombed and prob
ably lost. AT S:i5 O'Clock Saturday
evening a brief dispatch from Lille
announced the total of 1913 dead.
All France has been profoundly
shocked by the magnitude of the dis
aster. which is said to be the greatest
in the history of continental mining.
President Fallieries sent his secre-
tary, accompanied by Minister of Pub
lie Works Gautier and Minister of the
Interior Dubief. on a special train to
the scene of the disaster.
The ministerial crisis was tenn
porarily forgotten, senators and dcpu
ties joining in the universal public
manifestations of sorrow.
The scene of the catastrophe Is the
mountainous mining region near Lena,
in the department of Pas De Calais.
Here are huddled small hamlets of the
mine workers who operate the most
productive coal mines in France. The
subterranean chambers form series
of tunnels.
Six of the outlets are near Lena and
others at Courrieres, Nerdun and
many other points. The output of
these mines is particularly combusti-
BILE and is largely used in the manu-
facture of gas and in smelling. About
1000 miners work the group of mines
and, with their families. make popu-
lation of from 5000 to 5000 souls.
The latest advices say that the
worst fears as to the enormity of the
mine disaster have been realized. The
death list numbers / 100 and she whole
of the region stands appalled, at the
terrible tragedy, which has brought
sorrow to 6,000 fathers, mothers, wives
and children.
The last great mine disaster in
France occurred in 1885. when 293 per
sons were injured and eighty injured,
but that and all others sink into insiS-
nificance before Courrieres.

shortness of breath. These are danger
