YELLOW SENSATION
NARROWLY

An incipient sensation of the most
yellow variety was nipped in the bud
ding of it's youthful existence Saturday
night, when ran, whose name was
not learned by tie officers, frightened
three young girls so badly that their
experience will be their sole topic of
conversation for fortnight.
The mrh, who is thought to be Il
stranger, was supposed to be drinking,
and espying .he three little girls he
mumbled some unintelligible words -
threats and started after them TIE
children ran. About that time two ic.
cal citizens saw the man and frighten j
him away. Later he was found by an
officer in one of the saloons, and az
his acts could scarcely justify prose
cution, a heart-to heart talk by the of
fcer sufficei to convince him of the ex-
pediency of making some other town

ORDERED TO LEAVE TOWN;
OSCAR JONES SHOOTS SEI,F

Las Animas, Aug. 17.-Because he
had been ordered by the mayor to get
out of town by 9 clock this morning,
coupled with the fact that his sweet
heart had gone back on him, Oscar
Jones, a well known man of this city,
sent n bullet through his brain about
2 o'clock this morning and died about
11:30 o'clock.
The shooting took place at the house
of Minnie Dunn Just after he had
separated from his former sweetheart
Opha WOrmer. When notified last
nighG that he must get out of town,
Jones went to the Dunn house and told
the WOrmer woman that he must Icavc
her. He had been drinking heavily and
WAS without money. The Wormer wo-
man gave him few dollars and Jones
had gone to his room for the night.
A few minutes later the report of a
revolver was heard and the people Of
the house hastened to his room, to lind
him lying across the bed with bullet
wound through his head.
Jones had been resident of Las
Animas for several years. He was a
hard drinker and had an aversion for
work. He leaves mother and a sister,
both Of whom reside here.

THE NATIONS SHAME

A statistician over in Germany, who
has been computing the records of rail
way deaths and injuries of this coun-
that the American lines are the most
deadly in the world. This is not sur
prising. 1t is fact which this coun-
try has been forced to face for SOM.
time, and which is even now the sub
Ject of the most serious consideration
by special commission. Nevertheless
it is a fact which should cause great
humiliation on the part of the railway
managers throughout the country. We
are a progressive people, alert to i'm
prove our ways and means of getting
around in the world, intent upon say
ing time, but deplorably careless abort
human life. We waste it prodigally,
criminally. We calmly permit danger,
Gus conditions, until great disaster
forces action, and then We spasmoGi-
cally reform our methods and for !,
time maintain a higher standard
What this country most seriously
needs today, points out the Washington
Star, is a higher appreciation of the
value of life, of the Importance oi
safeguarding existence. We see the
laws which forbid the carrying "f
deadly weapons continually violaCr,l
and are content with an occasional
prosecution and fine, never thinking
that the only way to prevent the dan
ger is to cut off the supply. We see
other laws wantonly set aside in favor
of local sentiment or tradition and lives
sacrificed by the hundreds annually aud
hesitate about imposing compelling re
strictions upon the public in the matter
of wreaking private vengeance. We
illuminate occasionally when the rail
roads, in consequence of inefficient
management, or inadequate equipment,
or excessive enterprise slay scores
of people at time, and put our fai,ll
in the persuasive force of the economy
of avoiding money damages to work
out a reform from within the corpora
tions themselves.
Truly, if there is one feature of all
the others of our national life that
seriously needs reform it is this habit
of forgetting the value of existence.

pages of maediavilism reads the life Of
Mrs. al Courier, widow of the man
slain recently by her own son by for
mer marriage. Mrs. Courier will he
remembered by many people us the star
witness in the celebrated Knuckles
murder case, which attracted so much
attention throughout the state at one
time. She was married several years
ago to man named James, and by him
had a son whom she named Jesse. Lat
er, Mrs. James and her husband sepa-
rated, and she applied, ignorantly, to n
| Justice of the peace for n divorce. 1t
is claimed that this justice of the peace
took $75 from her and promised to Sc
cure the divorce. Later she was told
that she WAS free from her husband,
and she removed to another locality.
After Mrs. James had married an-
other man, by whom she had another
son who was given the Christian names

SMILES AND TEARS

From the time that Adam and Eve
were expelled from the Garden of
Eden, it has been the lot of man to
come into the world with sorrow writ
ten upon his brow and expressed by
walls of anguish. 1t requires the edu-
cational effect of our civilization and
training in the moral code of Christian
ity to teach him that all is not SORROW
here below. After while, man begins
to smile. Later he learns that laughter
is far more potent factor to success
in life than weeping. And taking his
lesson from the "deseret,' he learns
that the sweetest savored honey comes
from the sweetest scented plants. The
application that the man of greatest in
telligence always makes of this lesson
is that it is always better to preach the
doctrine of salvation than the doctrine
of damnation, that it is better to build
up than to tear down, that it is better
to he = builder than destroyer.
Fortunately Glenwood has perhaps
fewer knockers, in prooprtion to popu-
lation, than any other city in Colorado;
but we would be an optimistic set in
deed if we hoped to exclude them en-
tirely from our midst. We have few,
to the detriment of the city; but they
are largely in the minority.
A "knock"r > is latucal pesSi,,s'

successes, he seeks to profit by the eo

The up-builder is the broad guaged
fellow who takes the optimistic view
He dreams Of flowers instead of Grape
of life. He sees good in everything
His time, talent and energy is spent in
the betterment of conditions, the up
building Of his town and the individual
interests of her citizens. For he realizes
that the welfare of every individual
citizen is the welfare of the town. He
rejoices in everyone's success, and nc
though of jealous enters his heart over
the greater successes of his neighbors
