d. F. Strain who was injured in the
runaway accident Saturday night, as
stated yesterday, is much improved
today. None of the members of the
party that were in the wagon which
turned over will suffer any serious
consequences as n result of the ac-
cident. Mr. Strain and his friends
have n curiosity to know who the bi-
cyclist was that caused the horses to
take fright and then in a manner
that was in no degree characteristic
Of a gentleman rode away without
Offering assistance. One of the gem
tlemen of the party took one of the
children to a place of safety and as
the bicyclist had stopped asked him
to watch over the little one while he
went to the rescue of the others. The
bicyclist said Il can't do anything
for you" and mounting his wheel
rode on toward the city. He did not
wait long enough to see whether any
of the people were badly hurt, nor did
he offer, of would he give assistance
He was a stranger to the members of
the party who got look at him.
From his heartlessness and condemn
able action in riding away after he
had frightened the horses and caused
the wagon to turn over. 1t is to be
Judged that he lacks the qualities
that make up real man.

THE "REDLIGHT" CLOSED
The House of Ill Fame That Has been
Open for Years on South Ave-
nue. Has Closed Its
Doors.

The "Redlight' is no more. 1t has
closed its doors. This house of Ill
repute which has been tolerated at
SCI South avenue for many years
was the oldest and perhaps the most
orderly establishment of its kind that
has ever existed in the city.
Laura Leslie. who for a long per-
iod has had charge of the house. gave
formal notice to City Attorney Coles
today that she had closed her house
in accordance with an agreement
made with the city attorneys office
house voluntarily rather than to
stand prosecution. 1t is said that the
house was closed some days before
the date agreed upon and in fact it
has been closed for about ten days.
Laura Leslie kept her agreement
while Nell Davis of "the new house
broke the agreement she made and
Is now under arrest.
Laura Leslie has been disposed to
be the most orderly and law abiding
of the women of her class and pro-
poses to obey the orders of the au-
thorities regarding the closing of the
houses. Nell Davis, refusing to obey
the orders voluntarily will be forced
to do so.
Nell Clark, the better known wom-
an of the demi-monde of Grand juno
ton, who died here about two years
ago. after residing here for many
years. was the original owner of the
'Redlight" She left a large estate,
with all her faults did many good
deeds for charity's sake.
With "24O Colorado avenue" clos
ed some weeks ago and the Red
light out of business there remains
in the city only one of these public
houses of i'll repute, 'the new house"
and 1t will probably be closed by
law within few days.

LIBRARY BOARD MEETS.

The board of directors of the Car
negie library board held their month
ly session last night.
The formal acceptance of the reslg-
nation of Mrs. a. n. Jay, as librarian
was made by the board. Mrs. jay
was given vote of thanks and com
mittee appointed to prepare suit
able resolutions on her retirement,
to be presented at the next meeting
of the board of directors.
The bills for the payment of the
repairs on the library were allowed
In passing over her books and espec-
tally her book record. Mrs. Jay call
ed attention of the board that when
she took charge of the library that
there were turned over to her from
the books that had been given the
Woman's club 1850 books and since
that time there had been added to
the library books to run the total
over $500. She has been acting as
librarian for period of over five
years and in that time only 62 books
have gone out of existence from the
library and that not to exceed five of
these were stolen and that over TWEEN
ty had been worn out. This record
will hardly be duplicated by the work
of any librarian, having charge of
public library.
The attendance at the library was
less last month than for many months
back. as the library had been closed
for period of ten days for repairs.

THE NEW IS IN
Good Humoredly the Changes in or
hcers Are Made Today at the
Court House-Commis-
sioner's Board Or
ganizes.

The official changes for the new
county administration term of two
years. were made this morning at
the court house. and in spite of the
induction into office of numerous new
officials everything is working smooth
ly at the court house

county clerk and recorders office
from John B. Mann who steps down
into private life after five years OF
public service. George Caldwell is
no longer deputy clerk. Jack Gal
lupe and C. l.. Dyke walk in as new

KRoHN GETS CONTRACT.

OF all the humorous bids ever made
in Grand Junction or perhaps in west
ern Colorado those two that were
flied with the county commissioners
yesterday by local undertakers for the
contract for pauper burial, which
is awarded annually break every rec
ord.
Each year for many years there
has been a lively fight between the
undertakers for this contract. Last
year A. l.. Gourley landed the con-
tract. his bid being As cents per case.
This year it seemed that only two
bids were filed with the commission
ers and as predicted yesterday by the
Sentinel, these bids proved to be the
lowest ever made in this county.
Undertaken E. A. Krohn gets the
contract. His bid was 1900 of a
cent per case. in other words he must
bury 1000 paupers before he gets
one cent from the county for the work
There was only one other bid, that
of w. II. Bannister who offered to
take the work for one-fourth of a cent
a case but his bid was way up in the
air with Mr.. Krohns Talk about
cheap burieals If this is not the limit
then the Sentinel is badly mistaken.
Some people may wonder why any
undertaken is desirous of getting the
contract for pauper or county burials.
1t Is easy to explain.
Every person who dies in this
county without friends to pay the fun
eral expenses, every stranger or un-
known person who dies in the county
whether he has sufficient money on
his or her person to defray the ex-
penses or not. is turned over to the
county undertaken. In many cases
the county undertaken is able TO
communicate with relatives some
where in the country. friends or a
fraternal order and secure funds for
the funeral expenses and in this man
ner the undertaken realizes legitimate
profits. OF course very frequently
there are cases which the county
undertaken must care for at an alb
solute loss to himself. The deceased
having no connections who will de-
fray the expenses. If there are a
great many of these cases then the
yearly contract proves Improbable
but usually the good cases bring in
sufficient money to defray the expens-
es and leave a neat margin of profit.
The actual cost of giving a pauper
a decent burial in the county yard is
stipulated by law is about $3.50 so
the county is very fortunate in hav-
ing to pay only 1900 of a cent for
each case.
When there is trip to be made by
the undertaken to get the body of a
pauper he is allowed his expenses
necessary to make the trip.
The award of the pauper contract,
made yesterday. has caused much
amusement today.

Bailey Reelected Senator.

Austin, Tex, Jan. Ex-senator 10
seph w. Bailey was today reelected
United States senator from this state
by a vote, in the two branches of the
State Legislature, of los TO As. In
the State Senate the vote was nine
teen in favor of Senator Bailey and
ten against him, and in the Lower
House Senator Bailey received eigh-
ty-nine votes and thirty-hve were
cast against him.
The prediction is freely made that
the legislative action today has split
the Democracy wide open in Texas
The vote in opposition to Senator
Bailey represented scattering vote
cast for Cecil Lyon, the Republican
nominee, Governor T. NJ. Campbell
former Representative A. w Terrell
and other prominent men of the
State. In the House seven members
present did not vote and two were
absent
The vote necessary to an election
is eighty-three votes, and today's re-
suit returns Senator Bailey to the
United States senate for a term OF
six years. The two Houses will meet
in joint session tomorrow to canvass
the vote

Kingston and the Ohio.

The American people have much
more serious disaster at nome, in the
Ohio Valley floods, than that in ia
maica This will be evident to any
one who stops to consider the popu-
lation affected. The latest estimate
of the total population of Jamaica
was $4,000, over nine-tenthS of
whom are negroes or mixed blood.
The population of Kingston is esti-
mated at $4,000, in about the same
proportion The great mass of the
population are poor, and their dwell
ings are cheap, tumble-down affairs.
The cattle of the country are pas
tured in the hills. Consequently the
general property loss can not be ex-
tensive.
The population of Cincinnati, Gov
ington and Newport in 1900 was
397,141. The population of Louis
vile, New Albany and Jeffersonville
was 236,133. The total population of
these cities and their suburbs un-
doubtedly exceeds the total popula-
ton of Jamaica. But mere COM
parison of population probably gives
an inadequate idea of the relative loss
or of the relative suffering. Cincin-
natl reports about 10000 homeless
people in that immediate vicinity, but
Portsmouth reports about 10000 in
its vicinity, and it is a place of only
Is 900 population Moreover, the
losses of the farmers in the Ohio val
ley lands must be much greater than
those of the city sufferers, for large
part of their crops has been destroy
ed, together with the supplies they
had laid in for winter, their clothing,
furniture live stock and other proper
ty. The suffering of the homeless is
also relatively greater on account OF
the mild climate of Jamaica, and the
abundance of sub-tropical fruits and
vegetables.
1t is evident, therefore, that the
United States may we'll afford to CEN
tralize its charitable work on its
home disaster The reports thus far
received have been from telegraph
centers, but it must be remembered
that the windstorm has prevented III
large part the relief of isolated vic
Tins OF the floods, and has prevented
learning the full extent of the. losses
of lie and property. At Evansville
for example, the relief boats were un-
able to start out until Monday morn
ing on account of the storm. From
other points come similar reports,
with occasional stories of missing re-
lief parties that ventured out.

Unlawful to Color Butter.

Farmers wives should be very
careful at this season of the year with
the coloring of butter, as the pure
food law specially forbids the use of
any coloring matter used in the pre-
paration of butter. 1t also provides
that all moisture over 16 ,,er cent
must be worked out By this is meant
that all buttermilk must be worked
out over this amount. During the
winter months dry feed is used prin-
cipally to feed mich cows and the
butter is usually very white and the
coloring matter is used more or less
by all butter makers. Any infraction
of these laws, though not intentional
by farmers wives, might cause them
to be fined under the pure food law

Weather Guess Year Ahead.

Professor Frank H. Bigelow,
weather forecaster, told the Univer-
sity of Chicago students in lecture
that he is now prepared to make
weather forecasts year in advance
by observing the sun spots. The
kind of weather indicated by the
spots reaches the earth year after
the signs appear.
Local conditions may affect the
predictions somewhat" he said, "but
they will all be fulfilled in time The
curve of the sun spots corresponds
to the temperature curve"
The professor had said it would be
warmer Tuesday with southerly
winds, but the weather was colder
and the wind was in the north.
