British Commend Roosevelt.

London-Most of the morning news
papers devote their leading articles to
President Roosevelts speech at the
ceremony of laying the corner stone OF
the new office building of the House
of Representatives at Washing
ton on Saturday. His outspoken
words in the suggestion of
progressive tax to prevent any indi-
vidual inheriting over certain
amount, the critics believe, will make
him more enemies in America, but
here. they say, the words do not sound
dreadful, as England has what he is
aiming at in an income tax combined
with a system of graduation and a sue
cess.on duty which docs not limit
the amount an heir may inherit, but
produces big revenue from estates.

COTTON is STILL KING.
Continues Our Most Valuable Asrieul.
tural Export.


When we say coffin is king, what do
we mean? Cotton was once king OF
the crops, says ellison Willets in Les
lies Weekly. II is so no longer. Wheat
is now enthroned Though the cotton
crop for the last year was 13,654.O2S
bales Cotton Exchange figures), the
wheat crop OF the year exceeded the
cotton crop in value by more than
1OO,O00,000 But wise men say that
King Wheat is a pretender, tempo
rarirly crowned, and that cotton will
soon again resume rightful place as
king of the crops. The world depends
upon this country for clothes. Clothes
mean principally cotton. 1t is natural,
then, since this country is the principal
grower of cotton, that our most valu-
able agricultural export should be cot
ton. OF cotton we have practically
monopoly; and it is the only crop of
which we have such monopoly; that
it is, indeed, the only staple crop of
which any nation has anything APP
preaching a monopoly. Then there's
the still growing trade in the far East.
How may that trade ultimately help
TO reseat cotton as king? Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, as minister at Washington, said;
If every Chinaman in China should
add one inch to his shirt tail, this alone
would consume the whole American
cotton crop"

me only temporary relief. So / suf-

doctor told me to drink Postum Food
Coffee. She said looked like l was
coffee poisoned.
so | began to drink Postum and
/ gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not
so fast as at first. My headache began
to leave me after ! had used Postum
about two weeks-long enough l ex-
pect to get the coffee poison out OF my
system.
Now that a few months have
passed since | began to use Postum
Food Coffee, l can gladly say that l
never know what neuralgia headache
is like any more, and it was moth

Naples-Several lads in Boscotre-
case who were unframed when the
danger following the eruptions of
Mount Vesuvius seemed most immi-
nent, subsequently ventured to walk
on the cooling lava. They went too far
and the crust broke under their
weight. They were swallowed up be
fore the helpless onlookers. Many
school children who were thought to
have fed from their schools TO become
lost in the mountains are safe. They
wandered about for hours while the
volcano rained red hot stones and
sand, but they escaped unhurt.

TO PROSECUTE si.ikERS.
ocpositors in Bank of Alamosa to Take
Action.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Alamosa says: The depositors of the
defunct Bank of Alamosa, which failed
last October for S1G5,000, incensed at
the decision of Federal Judge Riner,
who last week at Pueblo decided there
was no proof that Herman Schiller of
New York was connected with the al
fairs of the defunct bank, although it
was given out by Abraham and Isaac
Schiller that Herman let the bank fail
and his name was on all stationery
used by the bank, held meeting here
Monday and instructed two committees
appointed by the depositors to petition
he county commissioners of ConeJos
county to appropriate money to en-
ploy the best legal talent in the state
to aid District Attorney Pitcher to
prosecute Abraham and Isaac Schiller
for wrecking the bank.
These two men were adjudged bank
rupts last week in the federal court at
Pueblo on petition of the depositors
and the assets of the bank, when deter
mined, will not pay over 10 cents on
the dollar. The mine at Silverton, sup
posed to be worth $4,000, is held un-,
der a deed of trust by woman named
Robinson of Del Norte. Other tangible
assets of the defunct bank consist of
the bank building and fixtures, frame
House and half dozen lots in Alamosa.
The depcsitors committee has not ac-
Cepted and proposition from the Schif-
ters in settlement.
Abe Schiller will be in Alamosa
Wednesday TO so over the books of the
Gofunct bank with the committee, the
District Court granting the Schifers
this right.
