west Live Stock Insurance associa-
ton for the best exhibit Of stock.
The collection is attracting the
attention of many, its arrangement
in the big window showing off
well the beauty of the prizes.
The fair association has never
befvre offered so many cup prizes,
most of the prizes in the past hav-
ing been money. But as cup is
generally regarded as the better
prize and one which exhibitors
will work harder to secure, it was
some time ago determined by the
fair association directors to give
nearly all prizes in cups this year.

CALLS JOHNSON
PRfIMfR PITCHER
Mike KahOe War Horse of Both
Leagues PrOcIaimS Him the
Goods.

In an interview given out by
Manager Cantillion of the Washing
ton team, to the sporting editor OF
the Washington Post, he has the
following to say regarding Walter
Johnson:
johnson pitches better every
time he walks on the rubber, and
he is no " conceded to be the best
young pitcher in the country, and
that is saying good deal"
Mike Kahoe, who has been in
both jor leagues for several
years, and who has handled the
deliveries of as many star pitch
ei as any catcher in the country
end should be good judge of a
twirler, has the following to say
in an interview to the same paper ;
Greatest ever, that kid, have
seen them ali, but | have never seen
raw recruit get into the big
league and show so much class.
He can do more with ball right
now than nine-tenths of the pitch
ers who have been in the big
leagues for years. l can hold my
glove wherever | want to and John
son can put the ball into the CEN
ter of it full speed. He has more
speed on his ball than any pitcher
I ever caught, and while he is not
finished, because he lacks exper-
fence, / make the prediction now
that he will develop into wonder.
He has not had single ball hit
hard off him since have been with
the club. 1t is next to impossible
10 hit him.
Kahoe has caught Johnson in two
games and enthuses about him. He
will catch Johnson for the remain
der of the season, as the youngstel
pitches a better ball to him than he
does to any of the other catchers.

their home, one of whom remains
to grow up, Miss Euretta.
Fourteen years of her married
life was spent in Gilpin county,
Colorado, two years in Arizona,
and the last seven years in Boise,
Idaho.
In 1o03-4 when Mr.. Stevens
was Supt. of the Franklin mine at
Pine, Mrs. Stevens had visited
that place.
The third day of August of the
present year, Mrs. Stevens and her
daughter went to Atlanta for the
winter where Mr.. Stevens has been
for the past year or more, Super
intendent of the Bagdad Chase
Mining company.
Only month after arrival, on
Labor Day, Sept. 2, she suddenly
passed from life to death with the
only words: Il am shot, send for
the doctor,' and she was gone.
Her husband was at his office
and with the news that his wife
was seriously injured, he sprang
to a saddle horse only to find on his
arrival that the spirit OF his COM
panion had departed.
The circumstances of the sad &C
cident, incorrectly rumored III some
respects, were as follows:
On Labor Day base ball game
had been arranged but had not been
played. Previously to the prospec-
tive game, the time was occupied
with target shooting. Quite q
number of ladies were present,
among them Mrs. Sevens, occupy
I ing seat beside other ladies, all
watching the shooting. James, OF
ladies when loading, and somehow
no one, nor himself, can tell, his
gun was turned and discharged anc
Mrs. Stevens was fatally shot il
the breast. The cartridge was the
smallest ID with no powder, only {
cap, and the ball only little shot
1t entered above the heart, struck al
artery, causing internal hemorage
Great sorrow is felt for the
husband and daughter by the entire
community, where Mr.. Stevens i;
highly esteemd by the many wh'
know him, and Mrs. Stevens ant
Euretta making many friends dur
ling their short stay.
Towards the young man, of abou
IS years, much sympathy is ex
pressed for the great load of regre
which rests upon him, in which

Must Tell How wrecks Happen.

New York.-A policy of informin,,
the public of the details of all acci-
dents on the railroads composing the
Hartman system has been put inlo
effect by order of E. H. Hartman, ac-
Cording to an official announcement 1y
the Union Pacific Railroad Company
Ii is stated that Hartman has ordered
that reports shall be made and
promptly given to the press containing
fell details of all accidents on the Ha7-
riman system. 1t is also announced
that il has been decided as an expert
nIent to invite outsiders of local reputa-
ZION and standing to be present and
participate in Investigations into acci-
dents, making formal reports, either
agreeing or disagreeing with the find
ing of the board of inquiry.
Over seventy per cent. of the seri-
Gus collisions on American railways in
the last five years were due to negli-
sence of trainmen and enginemen. On
lines protected by block signals ninety
four psr cent of the collisions are at
tributed by the commission tc the ne:c
Iigence of trainmen and signal opera
tors
The plan to make public full details
concerning accidents follows a sugges-
ton made by julius Kruttschnitt, di-
rector of maintenance and operation
OF The Hartman lines, who said:
Personal responsibility for acci-
dents, whether of officers or laborers.
should be known to the public. We
II ust bring about a closer observance
of the rules and greater respect for
danger signals than we now get from
our employees. This can be done only
by the widest publicity of the details
of accidents"
The Union Pacific also announces
that its steel rails for delivery next
year will be made by the open-hearth
process. which. it is expected, will de-
oidedly lessen the number of break
ages.

Heroic Work of -Four Women.

Laramie. Wyo.-The heroic work Of
four women is all that saved the I'M
mense reservoir of the Wyoming De-
yelopment Company from going out
one night recently. The reservoir.
ahich is on the Big Laramie river,
forty niles north of this city. is the
largest used for irrigation purposes
in the United States. the water being
held back by an earth dam a mile and
Il half long. and covering an area Of
twenty-five miles in circumference
Miss Helen McGill. daughter of a
renchman. and her guest Miss VIII
burta Knight of this city, were riding
over the dam, when they noticed that
the high water in the reservoir. lashed
into waves by the wind, had begun to
cut dangerous hole through the bank,
which each second was made larger.
The girls galloped wildly to the home
of the caretaker, where they found
only Mrs. Reed his wife, and his
daughter. Miss Edna.
The four women fastened to the
break, where all night long they
worked. never leaving the place for n
moment. Fortunately man named
Harvey happened to pass with team
before dark and assisted by hauling no
less than eleven loads OF hay from u
nearby stack, which the women
aeighted down with dirt and used to
stay the water.

Another Earthquake Shock.

Washlngton.--The Coast and Geo
eetic Survey service. reports that an
earthquake was recorded at the Chez
tsnham, Maryland, observatory the
morning of July 1st, beginning at
S:14:52 o'clock and lasting one hour.
The principal disturbance was from
:22 to g.: 25 O'Clock, the largest motion
I eing in north-south direction. Tha
shock was greater than at Kingston,
tut no. so great as the San Francisco
earthquake.
A spscial bulletin issued by the
weather bureau says the seismograpns
~ the weather bureau today recorded
az earthquake of moderate intensity
which resembled in many respects the
ecord of the Kingston eai thquake
made on January IA, 1907. The first
preliminary tremors began earlier IN
tie north and south component recorl
at S:14:49 a. m. with distinct Sec
ord beginning of tremors after an in.
;erval OF four minutes and forty-thrse
seconds. A few minutes later several
aves of noticeably long period were
recorded from 1922 to S:26 a. m.
The motion of the ground in the east
west direction began at 8: IA SO and
consisted of unusually minute AMI
short period tremors. The beginning
OF the second preliminary tremors in
the eas..west was gradual. at abont
s 1899; the maximum wave motion

ponent at about S:25 to S:27 a. IN.
From the general component at about
S.25 to S:27 a. m. From the general
details of the record the weather bu.

state Appropriations Will Be Taxed.

Denver.-During the current bien-

meet the running expenses of the state
cf Colorado. State Auditor George D..
Statler has just completed the classi-
Ecation of the various appropriations
made b. the Sixteenth General Assem-
bly,, and they aggregate this amount.
1T is probable that we shall have
eLough money to pay all of these ap-
preparations, although, of cour;.o, as Is
c1ways the case, some will receive con-
sIderation over others. The secretarJ
OF state, the insurance commissioner.
and in fact all the departments, inform
Ire that their revenues will be largely
increased this term. Besides, the state
Loard of equalization has in'Jeasei
the valuation on corporate propc. ty, so
trat while the appropriations are
larger. than ever before, there will be
large revenues to meet them
In classifying appropriations they
are divided into five classes. The frs.
'c!ass includes the ordinary expenses os
ihe legislative, executive and judicial
public debt. The second class provides.
for the appropriations made to the pc
iial and corrective institutions: the
third class, the educational and shari-
table institutions; the fourth, any
other officers. bureaus. boards. etc,
and the fifth. all other expenses.
The railway commissioners are
placed in the first class. with an appro-
priation of $4,000. The appropriation
Tor the Kansas Colorado water case.
amounting to s1s,500. and which is 10
be used to complete the payment of at
lorneys fees. is placed in this class.
. so the recodification of the Colorado
statutes, for which s21.000 was appro-
Eriated..
The workshop of the blind appropria-
ton, amounting to $4,000 heads the
list of the third class appropriations.
This will insure the establishment IF
the workshop. as the appropriations
for the state university, normal school,
etc, are included in this class. The
s.ate fair appropriation for $4,000 Is
listed in the fourth class. also the tray
cling library appropriation of $4,000.
