Grand Junction. Colo.-Spartan grit,
and anxiety for his suffering wife, tri-
umphed over the most acute agony
this morning when e. J. Cook Of Green
River, after rescuing his wife from GER
tain death In q gasoline explosion, and
being himself severely burned In the
act, rushed to his automobile, and
while fragments of flesh dropped from
MS hands, cranked his machine and
sped at express train speed for a ply
sician.
Cook is the cashier Of the Green
River Bank and well known in business
and financial circles here.
The accident happened while Mrs.
COOK was preparing to start a fire for
the morning meal. In order to get a
quicker flame in the stove she picked
up a can which she supposed CON
tanned kerosene, but which was filled
with gasoline. No sooner did the VIOLA
tile fluid strike the flames than the ex-
plosion occurred, Mrs. Cook receiving
the full force of the combustion. The
flames rapidly enveloped the upper
part OF her body, quickly destroying
her clothing and burning her breast,
shoulders and arms almost to a crisp.
Ihe explosion aroused her husband,
who, rushing to her assistance, beat
out the flames with his bare hands.
This done, and unmindful Of his own
severe injuries, he hurried to put his
auto into commission for an emer-
gency u to the nearest physician. As
he cranked the machine several pieces
OF cooked flesh we're twisted from his
hands, yet not a groan escaped his
lips. Suffering intense agony he
Jumped into the car and raced at full
speed for medical assistance. Receiv-
ing temporary alienation at the doc
tors house, Mr.. Cook again took the
wheel and hurried the physician to the
side Of his suffering wife. Mrs. Cook
is in a critical condition.

Witnesses EIoekIna to Boise.

Boise, Idaho.-Boise is filling 10
with the witnesses called by the state
TO be used in rebuttal. Clarence C..
Hamlin, district attorney and million
aire mine owner of Cripple Creek, not
to mention his senatorial aspirations,
headed a platoon Of thirty-four that
arrived. Hamlin will explain his SEN
sational speech following the Victor
riot of June 9th. Hawkins, the justice
OF the peace, and Stewart, the carpen-
ter, who were beaten up before the
troops reached Cripple Creek, will re-
late their experiences and charge the
assaults to the strikers. Harry Guy
ton, an alleged gun man, who was EN-.
ployed by the mine owners during the
Teller county troubles, is among the
arrivals.
August Paulson, the millionaire
owner of the Hercules, whose children
Orchard planned to kidnap, will go on
the stand for the state. He believes
Orchards story, but the attorneys for
the defense claim he will make a good
witness for them.
The most important development in
to-day's proceedings was the ruling OF
the court shutting out the evidence of
Alva Swain, one of the best known
newspaper men of Denver. Swain was
prepared to swear he was approached
by Detective MCFARLAND with a propo-
s.tion looking to the fixing up" of GER
tain evidence in support Of Orchards
story. Later on the defense will make
another attempt to get SWANS story
before the jury.
The defense in the S~teunenberg muir
der case charges that Detective Nc
Parland has been guilty of an attempt
10 manufacture testimony against Will
liam d. Haywood, but was unsuccessful
i'll getting the basis and details of the
charge before the court and jury.

10000 Recruits Needed.

Denver.-"I consider the action of
the Navy Department in sending q
fleet to the Pacific at this time as a
significant one" said Lieutenant Cora
mander d. V. II. Allen of the Denver
recruiting Office Of the navy. "The
trip is a long one and very hard on
the ships, as well as the men, espec-
tally rounding Cape Horn. The depart
rlent would hardly go to the great ex-
tense entailed in such a manuever
without some strong incentive. 1 be-
lieve the Department of State is behind
the move
"The navy needs men at every re-
cruiting Office and efforts are being
made to get them. We hope to add
10000 men to the sea force as soon as
possible"
When asked what he thought of q
war with Japan, he said:
mo, it wouldn't be like the n with
the Spaniards. They were afraid 10
come out into the open and fight us
and we had TO smoke them out. The
Japanese would come out all at once
and ono battle would end it,"
The same spirit was evinced by
other men at the station in speaking
OF the japanese as fighters. "They
have got too much n to go to war
with u.s." said one. 1T would be easy
work for the United States. They are
not in our class"
All of the men, while soothing at the
possibility of a war with Japan, are
eager Il take part in it if one SHOULD
come to pass.

Thomas Brown Gets Five Years.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-Thomas Brown,
found guilty of manslaughter, has been
sentenced by District Judge Morris to
a term of not less than five nor more
than seven years in the p~enitentiary.
Brown was convicted of completely
in the murder of Isaac Leabo and
Chris Miller at Goldheld, Colorado, on
election day, November 8, 1904. James
Warford was tried on precisely the
same charge more than a year ago,
was convicted and sentenced to. life
Imprisonment. After p%ronouncing the
sentence to-day Judge Morris stated
that although his action would he crit
icised, he had consulted his own CON
science and believed that he was act
ing justly in sending Brown to the pen
itentiary.
The judge said that he imagined
that friends Of Brown would consider
him severe, while the enemies Of the
defendant would say that the sentence
was not severe enough. He granted a
stay of execution for ninety days, in
order that the attorneys for Brown
might have plenty Of time to carry on
the case TO the Supreme Court on a
writ Of error

THE BEST HE COULD GET.
Amateur Gardener Could Not Under
stand Why Seeds Did Not sprout.

The woes Of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his eff
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married,
early in the spring secured a sub
urban place, mainly with the idea Of
fresh, homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out t his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
own remained as bare as the Sahara.
1T certainly has got me beat" he
eonfided to a friend At his office n
day. 81 can't understand why not a
blessed thing has come up. / planted
peas and corn and tomatoes
Perhaps the seed were reflective,
the friend suggested.
Il hardly think it was that" the
gardener replied, for I got the very
best-paid 10 cents a can for them"

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in a
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians to pat
ent' medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
I'VE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in M year $62,0 600, 900 has been ex.
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country a yearly
Income of 2 1000. In the face of such
facts as these, all talk of love of hui
manity, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes CHEAP and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to US that such bun,
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent" medi-
cine business is about $40, 0OO, 900 in
stead of $50, 900, 900 but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi.
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $3.50, O0O,-
900. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each of
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of s62. OOO, 900 is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.

Good Joke Played In Old Days on
Would-Be Fashionable.


Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
a good story Of a trick played by a
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes. the shoemaker
Of Norwich in the time Of King Henry
VIII, of the proud humor which our
people have to be Of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, a shoe
maker, coming to this tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make it
Of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and %perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have I made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes. 81 will
never wear gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

Flow Of Arteslan Wen.

To calculate the rate of flow of an
artesian well a simple plan is to lower
a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of
say 500 feet and then electrically ex.
plode a cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity of flow. 1t is claimed
that this method gives results as &C.
curate as a weir. The diameter Of
the pipe being known, the rate of flow
readily follows.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great inn
p~ortance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
