Morsan's Picture Hangs in Saloon.

New York.-The portrait Of J. Pier

prasers' stores. was sold at public auc-
tion today.

trait OF Consul. the celebrated chin

4. J. Wallace, proprietor OF THE
Golden Swan" was the only bidder for
the portrait. 1t was appraised in the
auction list at $25. Mr.. Wallace Of
cred $35 and the portrait was knocked
down to him without question.
When the picture reached this coun.
try Mr.. Morgan declined even 10 pay

SKELETON GLUE TO MURDER.
Jefferson County Thinks It Has Evil
dence Of Foul Play.

Morrison, Colo-The discovery of a
human skeleton in a secluded spot on
Black mountain. seven miles above
Morrison, has furnished a mystery for
the Jefferson county officials to un-
ravel There are indications which
point to either murder or suicide, but
from present Indications it is probable
that the matter may never be cleared.
E. H. Ballinger, ranchman, living
five miles south of Morrison, found the
bones while on hunting expedition
with a party of friends. He returned
to town this morning and Immediately
notified the coroner.
According to Ballinger the head was
missing. He did not make a careful
examination of the skeleton, but ap-
pearances indicated that it had been
severed with some sharp instrument.
A few remnants of clothing and an old
rife were found near the remains.
The skeleton was near the aban
doned Martin sawmill, which is located
in lonely timber country far from
habitation. The hunter describes the
skeleton as that of man, probably six
feet tall, robust of stature, and appar
emily young. He says the man has
probably been dead for several months.
The coroner will go after the skele
ton tomorrow and an investigation will
probably be instituted at once. No one
has been reported missing in this sec
tion for several months.

Popular Author Dead,

Rochester, n. Y.-Mrs. Mary Jane
Holmes, the well known authoress, is
dead at her home IN Brockport. in her
seventy-ninth year. She was taken i'll
last week in Albany while on her way
from Oak Bluffs. Massachusetts
where she spent the summer.
Mrs. Mary Jane Holmes was born in
Brookfield, Massachusetts, on the farm
of her father, Preston Hawes. She en-
tered the village school when she was
three years DID, and is said to have
been making progress in grammar at
the age OF six. Her first work was
written and published when she was
fifteen. She married Daniel Holmes
a lawyer of Brockport New York, and
with him made long tours abroad
The statement has been published
that Mrs. Holmes. next to E. p Roe,
was the most popular of American au
thors. More than 100000 copies Of
her books have been sold. Such is
the demand for her novels at the pub
lie libraries that it has often been
necessary to keep twenty or more sets
on the shelves.
Mrs. Holmes was the author of
thirty-nine novels. Tempest and Sun
shine," published in 1854, was followed
by nearly one new book year. Among
the list may be remembered Lena
Rivers" Dorothy Deane," "Ethelyn's
Mistake" and "Dr. Hathern's Daugh
ters" Her last novel, published in
1905. was Comics Mistake"

Great Institute for Colorado.

Denver.-Colorado, by reason of its
famous cliff dwellings and generally
vast and rich possibilities for archB-
illogical research. promises to become
the seat of the great Archaeological
Institute OF America, the center OF in
terchange between professors of arch
Geology in the universities of Europe
and of this country, and from which
all researches in North, Central and
South America are to be directed.
There is a possibility of its being To-
Gated in Denver.
Within the walls of this institution
will gather professors and students
from all parts of the world to study
the ancient Americas and the history
OF their peoples as written upon the
rocks and caves, canOns and ruins OF
the ancient cities. The work of the
institute has become so extensive that
1t now embraces branches in thirty
states and extends to Mexico, Central
and South America.
Edgar L. Hewett. director Of Ameri
can Archaeology of the Archaeological
Institute of America at Washington,
D. c., Is in Denver looking over the
ground and studying the possibilities
Of locating the institute here. He has
just concluded several expeditions, un-
der the auspices Of the various West
ern branches, including the Mesa
Verde National Park, Colorado; Nc
Elmo Canon of southern Utah. and the
Pajarito Park outside of Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
AS result of his expeditions Mr..
Hewett declares that Denver Is well
located geographically for the insti-
tute and that the natural inducements
offered by the state will receive care
full attention. New Mexico and south
ern California are both in the field
for the institute.

Higher Baggage Rates.

Denver-Colorado is going to be
called upon to pay its share of the
losses by the railroads on account of
the introduction of twOCent passenger
fares on the lines operating between
Denver and Chicago and st. Louis by
increasing the charges for excess bag
gage. A meeting has been called in
Chicago by representatives of all the
western lines, at which the question
is to be discussed. 1t is understood
that they are planning to charge peo-
pie who have more baggage tnan the
free limit eighteen per cent. of the
price Of one-way ticket, which will
be a big increase over present rates.
Several months ago the railroads
were forced to put in two-cent per
mile rate in Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, illinois and Wisconsin. on ac
count of state legislation. Increased
excess baggage rates are to recuperate
these losses. Colorado secured the ad-
vantage of the twocent rate in the
states east of here but did not get any
reduction on rates within the borders
of the state People will have to pay
the excess charges on baggage just
the same as in the states which Sc
cured the twO-cent fares.

OIL AND GAS is FOUND.
Eastern Colorado Comes to the Front
With Both.

Denver.-"Oil and gas in unlimited
quantity have been struck in Rock
Springs valley, three miles north of
Akron" said Robert II. Northcott, a
prominent Washington county ranch
man, at the St James hotel
And mind you. this is in the very
heart of the dryfarming region of east
ern Colorado. Rock Springs valley is
five miles long and not over two miles
wide at its widest point. North, south
and west it is surrounded by high
banks Of clay, while its eastern extrem.
ity slopes of into as fine farming coun-
try as can be found in this region.
Five years ago experienced reseach
showed there are thirty-twO clays OF
greater or less value in the valley, and
oil experts declared that oil could be
found underlying these stratas.
"A well was started in 1904 under
state supervision, the Legislature hav-
ing appropriated $4,000 for drilling pur-
poses. but the expense attached soon
exhausted the appropriation, but not
until limited supply of oil was OBJ
tanned at a depth of 1,15O feet Last
winter company was formed by Ak.
ron capitalists and early in the spring
the work of again boring for oil was
resumed, some of the best known oil
experts in the state being employed.
Work has been continued all summer
and despite numerous setbacks. plen-
tiful supply of oil and gas was obtained
at a depth of 3,lOO feet.
This means new era of CONNER
cial development in eastern Colorado
for several factories for the develop
ment of the clays have already been
projected for next spring by eastern
capital, among them being one for the
reduction of aluminium clay. several
banks Of which have assayed 25.4 per
cent. of aluminium oxide.
There is already in operation in the
valley Fuller's earth plant, operated
by the American Clay Company, COM
posed chiefly of Denver capitalists. It's
officers are: F. A. Knight, Denver,
president; Judge E. f. Armour. Ster.
ling, vice president; DIR. n. K Morris,
Denver, secretary; c. Y. Mcclure,
Omaha, treasurer and general man.
ager; J. A. Hensler, Akron, assistant
manager.
THE grade of fuller's earth turned
out is the finest in the United States
and the demand for it far exceeds the
output, but the projected additions to
the factory next spring will more than
double the capacity of the plant. 4
large brick plant will be built in the
spring, oil being used to burn the brick
and as the superior quality of clay is
unequaled in the state. an immense
business in this line is looked for.
"The Burlington road has promised
to put in a spur track to the valley in
the spring, and what can not fail to be-
come one of the greatest manufactur-
ing centers in eastern Colorado, if not
In the entire state, will be well under
way to completion early next year"

THE PRACTICAL NEW WOMAN.

Miss Jennie Pettyjohr. an obscure.
though pretty Denver miilincr. by rea-
son of her business ability. push and
energy, has become the foremost and
most influential business woman
northern Colorado.
This town of 500 inhabitants. which
was until year and half ago. a wide.
barren stretch OF prairie. with here
and there ranchers home to break
the monotony, owes much to this ener
getic woman Of twenty-eight or thirty
years
Largely through her efforts many
settlers are reclaiming the desert lands
in that vicinity which promise to be-
come one OF the most productive in
Colorado.
When Miss pettyiohn first deter

possible in order TO benefit her health.
she selected the country near Num-.
seventytwo miles from Denver. OH the
Union Pacific railway, as being excep-
tionally desirable because of its few
human habitations and because it pre-
sented an opportunity for development.
Taking up 100 acres OF land. more
than half of which are now under cul
tivation. she made her start with the
meager savings OF several years in the
millinery business. Seeing the posi-.
| bilities of the country she secured op

| and has since held those options while
the price of land has been soaring to
double and treble the price asked

The beginning of the new irrigation

The condition of the men injured Is

over them, causing horrible injuries.
Arms, fingers and ears were torn OF

under the wreckage and were not res

Buildings in the city, from the force

from their homes panic.stricken.
When flames shot from the burning

lie naked for an hour on cots in the
street cars before reaching the hos
