STEVE ADAMS VICTIM FOUND.
Corpse Uncarthcd at Telluride After
Six Years.

Six Years.
A dispatch from Telluride, Col, tells
of the recovery of the body of ]. w.
Barney, who was murdered by Steve
Adams in 1901. The dispatch says:
Adams accompanied Wells to the
place but the snow was deep on the
ground, and as several years had
elapsed, he could not locate the spot
exactly, but Adams gave a good idea
where the body could be found, and
there was little difficulty in uncover
ing the grave yesterday.
Part of the body, including the
teeth, was brought to town and iden-
titled.
Barney incurred the Ill will of the
union by working after the strike in
April, 1901.
1t was after Adams made his al
legged confession, which he afterward
repudiated and in which he is sup
posed TO nave dChnoWieubeu pSihb thC
assassin OF Arthur Collins, formerly
general manager of the Smuggler
Union, and to be familiar with the
places where the bodies of Barney
and Wesley L. Smith, the shift boss
of the Liberty Bell mine, are buried,
that Adams pointed out to Bell the
spot where the bodies were buried.
Adams is also said to have pointed
| out to Wells the tree behind which
he stood when he fired the charge OF
buckshot in the back of Manager Col
Inns. i..'t
| j. w. Barney was q non-union man
and was attacked in livery stable
in Telluride, June 23, 1901. He wa.
heard to cry out, Don't murder me,
and was taken out into the dark b!
his assailants and was never seeI
since. Rewards brought no clue.

LITTLE TOWN HELPS.

In these days of invention and pub
lie conveniences, it pays to be right
up to date. Well graded and paved
streets, shade trees kept in order,
walks and ample lighting make "a
vorable impression on the stranger
who visits the place.
There is a wholesomeness in the
right kind of competition, and in CO.
operation; but neither foolish CO.
operation or foolish competition has
ever been known to help along the
business of any town, unless it is that
other town" near by.
Sales days in the town that is sup
ported by the farming trade, and some
particular attraction that will enter
tain and instruct the members of the
farmers families, have been inaugu-
rated in towns of the west with good
results.
The American farmer is a progress
sive mortal. He is always ready to
learn new things, He realizes more
than ever the necessity of education
in his business. He no longer ignores
the fact that science is a wonderful
factor in his work, money saver
that must be considered if he sue
coed. The more intelligent is the
farmer, the more interest will he take
in the furthering Of the interests of
his home town.
American public schools are the
great props of national government.
The more prosperous is a community
the higher will be the educational ia
cilities. Good schools are help to
any town, and bring into it the most
desirable classes who seek to educate
their children. He who assists in
building up the business of a town,
also assists in lettering the schools.
No town was ever made great by its
people and those in it's neighborh0od
giving patronage to distant institu-
tons.

Never before has there been such
a stirring up of the masses and an

seems at present when faction is ar

and the men in control, like wolves,

1t is amazing how farspread are the

There cannot be doubt that these
various articles appearing in the mag
azines and general newspapers will
have the result of opening the eyes
of the public to things that few hereto
fore ever gave serious consideration.
They will have the effect of making
the people more cautious in making
investments of their earnings, and
will result in lessons that are bene-
fetal to the country at large. Home
trade principles preclude the POSSIBLE
ity of people losing by the operations
OF such gigantic schemers. Money in
vested in your own community in the
development of it's latent resources
will give excellent returns, is ever
under your own observation, and while
the percentage of profit from some
home investments may not be up to
the representations made by the ma
nipulators Of stocks and the shearers
of lambs in general, you are not so
likely to be a loser.

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns is a
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the OBJ
jects desired. The people of the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo-
pie on friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month,
is set aside for market day." For this
occasion bands of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are en-
ployed to interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs, in
fact, every product that thay have for
sale, and the same is auctioaed of to
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprising small towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood of less enterprising towns.
The market-day idea is worthy Of con-
sideration by business men in small
towns who desire to pursue an ;inex-
pensive method of attracting trade to-
the place.
