One evening this week a crowd of men-a large crowd were as sembled in a certain public lobby 10 be explicit they were at the Brinkley House ard the topic of conversation drifted 10 the lack of consistency of certain officials in Brinkley. The climax of the talk was when one of the prominent men present. told of a Brinkley Justice of Peace having ac- cidentally gone in on a crowd of men gathered around beer keg in cer- tain place on East Cypress street (namely on the Peoples Gin premises) and finding some of the crowd engag- ed in beer drinking and crap shooting for money; that al this gathering there was present a Brinkley Alderman and Monroe county peace office Ca Deputy Sheriff,) and that notwith- standing all of this no arrests have been made.
 Now this wasn't all of the conver- sation, for the way some of the gentle men present condemned officers whe solemnly swear to uphold and enforce the law would put those officers tc shame if they could but even have heard tl,e mildest thing said of them

Driscoll, leasing on block 191 of the
Stratton estate on Bull Hill, who
orened up high grade ore short time
ago, made another strike in that prop
erty. Since cutting the vein only
enough ore to pay operating expenses
has been broken down and shipped.
The streak lies in a six foot vein of ore
giving returns of from $50 to $40 in
gold. The body is now being worked
at a depth of eighty-two feet and the
tonnage from the property. 1t is said.

lies between the Specimen and Lucky
Gus. two good gold producers.
The ore opened several months ago
by Mills & Co.. operating on the end Of
the Bonanza King property, on Gold
hill, is reported to be improving.
According to assays the vein. which is
four feet wide, gives returns OF from
two to five ounces in gold to the ton.
Development work is being done on
the Mabel NJ. claim OF the Gold Dollar
company at a point $50 feet north OF
the shaft, at the intersection of two
veins carrying values of from six to
seven ounces Ill SOlu 10 tne uOu- II ID
thought that the vein, when broken the
entire width of the winze, will depre-
ciate in value and not show over two
ounces to the ton.
The Bull Hill Mining and Develop

property. on Raven hill. has begun
prosecuting from the 400 and 500-foot
levels, opened on the 600. 700 and 500
foot levels, northeast of the shaft In
dications are tnat the ore body extends
to the surface.
Thompson & Co.. operating the Lit
tie Clara property OF the Work COM
pany, on Gold hill. sent out four cars.
which probably will run $50 in gold to
the ton.
The capacity OF the 10 Dandy mill
on Raven HILL has been increased, and
for the next two weeks an average Of
$50 tons ore each day will be treated.
The mill by August 18th will be in per-
feet working order. and at that time
the company will begin to treat 200
tons each day. High and low grade ore
will be handled without sorting.

Cement sidewalks are common. and

ample being found at the state capt.
tol grounds, this city. But new de-
parture is the cement .smokestack In
connection with metallurgical works.
At the Golden Cycle plant, Colorado
City, the cement smokestack erected
last year Is 1856 feet high and fourteen
feet wide. inside dimensions. This
construction required 585 barrels OF
the Colorado product. At Butte, In
the Montana copper belt, the new con-
cretestack Is $50 feet In height. The
Los Angeles & Salt Lake railway has
bridge 9S4 feet long, seventy feet
high and seventeen feet wide of this
material, at cost OF some 100000.
The Portland Cement Company de-
pends entirely upon home capital, ten
of the largest shareholders finding
place in the revised list OF Colorado
millionaires. as printed by the New
York Herald. Charles Boettcher, the
well-known banker and sugar beet pro-
moter, is president of the company,
while Whitney Newton of Pueblo,
prominently mentioned for governor
last fall, is the second in command.
M. d. Thatcher of Pueblo, properly
rated as Colorados wealthtiest citizen,
is the keeper of the company's cash.
Rival concerens in Wyoming and in
this state are occasionally suggested,
but thus far the Portland company Is
the only producer in the Colorado field.
According to the Kendrick Promotion
Company, large quantity Of cement
material was last year discovered
east of this city, not far from Limon.

The streak broken into is two feet
wide, with one wall showing. The en-
tire character of formation In the
cross-cut has changed, and as net.
work of veins exist at the apex of this
vein, something important is expected.
The ore Is probably gold and silver,
and while 1t may carry some copper
there is no indication of lead.

Need a Good Bank.

A good bank is valuable asset for

its In these banks. The Lincoln bank
at Oak Park, ILL.,. was one OF these in.
stitutions that made great offers to
the people OF agricultural districts In
order to secure deposits. More than
N,000,O00 were deposited by farmers
and Others In this concern. Within q
year 1t was declared unsound by the
United States authorities, the pro.
moter OF 1t placed under arrest and
charged with fraud. The poor de.

ceive five per cent. of their deposits.
Remember that when you send your

wealth Of the place. It is better al,

few days ago by pitching fine game
against the Cincinnati Reds, holding
them down to one run and few hits.
Pastorius and Three-fingered Brown,
of the Chicago Cubs, hold the record
of having beaten the Giants twice this
season, and that is record of which
any pitcher might well be proud.
Brooklyn's first victory of the year
was shut-out for the Giants with
Pastorius in the box. A short while
ago the southpaw beat McGraw's men
again. He not only held them down
in the pitchers box. but won his own
game by helping three runs over the
rubber.
Pastorius has fine control for left
handler. He is likely to succeed Doc
Scanlon and Harry Mcintyre this year
as Brooklyn's leading pitcher.

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

Strangers to town form their
opinions as to its people by the ap-
pearance OF the business places and
the residences. In a town where the
buildings are dingy and dirty, and the
show windows of the stores are care
lessly arranged, 1t is evidence that
there Is a lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of town to be care
full as to the exterior appearances of
their places of business.
Small towns usually contain but few
expensive residences. 1t matters little
how inexpensively built residences are
If the buildings are kept well painted
and the yards neat and clean. This
is evidence of the good taste of the
people.
In many towns in country districts
there are hitching posts placed here
and there before the stores. 1t is gen.
orally the case that where the hitch
ing post is found, unless the street is
well paved, there is mud hole.
Every town that is incorporated
should have regulations as to the
placing Of hitching posts indiscrimin.
ately In the streets. There should be
set aside some side street that is con-
venient to the business portion of the
town. where the farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead OF in
front u the stores.
Good sidewalks give the strangers
to town favorable impression OF
the place. and also they are an advan-
tage In many ways and may prove
matter OF economy through the pre-
vention OF accidents that might give
cause for damage against the town
corporation.
Nearly every small town has It's
public park. II Is often noticed that
these parks are little cared for. They
are public pastures and serve no good
purpose as places where the people
OF the town can meet evenings for
social intercourse. People of towns
should take pride In keeping the pub.
Tic parks in good condition. They can
be made beauty spotA with but little
effort and expense.

S Pe-ru-na Useful
for catarrh?

Should a List Of tho Ingredients ofPe:
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he :yould be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthem was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis.
eases, and had stood tho test Of many
yearS experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE no
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER Peruna is composed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every Ingredient
Of Peruna has a reputation Of its own
in the cure Of some phase Of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the homo the COM.
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the homo the scientific skill and mowl-
edge cfthe modern pharmacist; and Last
but notleast, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of Dr.. Hartman,
in 1.-THE use of fcatarrh remedies, and in tho
treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
case which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is TO doubt as to the ma.
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea Is
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling oft.
No other household remedy 80 uni
versally advertised carries upon tho
label the principal active constituents,
lhowing that Peruna invites tho full
inspection of the critics.
