afterward the sum of $1,000 was ap-
propriated from the treasury to pur-
chase clothing, groceries, household
necessities,e etc, for the Coal Creek
sufferers and the committee previous
ly named was delegated to disburse 1t
where it would do the most good.
In addition to the $1,000 referred
to several hundred dollars was sub
scribed by individuals, all of which
was turned over to the committee
and was distributed by it. So liberal
had been the contributions from all
over the state that it became apparent
before all of the money set aside by
the city council here had been distrib-
uted that surplus would remain, and
committee of it's own volition turned
$500 of it back into the city treasury,
having become convinced that it was
not needed at Coal Creek. A few
months afterwards a request came to
the city council from Coal Creek for
the 5000 surplus, but 1t was refused
on the ground that the necessity which
prompted its appropriation no longer
existed.
The question of who would be bene-
fitted was never discussed, or suggest
ed. The money was set aside to assist
in relieving the cry of humanity and
the matter of the nationality, business
or social condition of those to be help
ed was never for a moment consid-
cred. Such things at such time make
no difference, it was the appeal of
the suffering and it was generously re-
sponded to by the people of Canon
City. Happily the correspondent Of
the Ex-Parte does not represent the
people of Coal Creek. They are appre-
cative and the general disbursing
committee there wrote to the city here
and thanked it heartily for so gen.
erously aiding the people of Coal
Creek in their extremity.

CLUB NET
ON THURSDAY NIGHT

A well attended and Interesting
meeting Of the members Of the Canon
City Automobile club was held at the
club rooms Thursday night. The or
ganization now has thirty-five men,
bers and is In a fourishing condition.
Steps have been taken looking to the
appointment of permanent committees
for the coming year and much good
Is expected to result from such action.
A first class highway from Canon
City to Colorado Springs. properly
marked with guide boards. showing
the distance from each place. is the
dream of the club members and would
be OF great benefit to both communi-

building such a road can be taken up
and carried to completion within the

ers to try HyOme1 ON Their
Guarantee.
Mitchell & Egbers invite all who suf-
fer from any form Of catarrhal trouble
to ge Hyomei outfit from them with
their absolte guarantee that II it does
not give satisfaction, the money will
be refunded upon request.
There Is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that in any way resembles Hy-
omei, none that gives such quick cur
ative results and lasting satisfaction,
no medicine that can take its place,
none that can be sold on a guarantee
like this, to refund the money unless
it cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can
be cured only by breathing Hyomei, so
that the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs are reached by
its anticeptic healing powers. In this
way all catarrhal germs are killed, the
irritated mucous membrane is healed
and catarrh is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach, but is breathed through a lit
ale pocket inhaler that goes with every
dollar outfit.
The unusual way in which Mitchell
& Egbers sell Hyomei attests their
confidence in the remedy.

News to ourselves: and We do not
think it was 80 intended.
The supplies and money which this
committee turned over to the people
of Coal Creek were turned over to the
Relief Committee of Coal Creek, and
by that committee distributed to the
people in need thereof; and this COM
mittee neither asked nor knew who re-
ceived the money and supplies.
And we are satisfied that the criti-
cism in Florence and Denver papers
is unjust, and without foundation. as
applied to the committee on Streets,
Alleys and Bridges.

INDIGNANT AT ACCUSATION
OF CORRESPONDENT

The following item published in the
Florence Ex-Parte by its Coal Creek
correspondent has aroused great in
dignation here, particularly of the
members of the relief committee, and
they brand the statement as a mali
cious falsehood.
There is $500 still in Canon City,
which was collected for the benefit
of the Coal Creek fire sufferers. 1t Is
being held because the chairman OF the
relief committee at Canon City, which
has charge of the disposition of the
funds, learned that the saloon men
who suffered by the fire would share
In the distribution of the money"
There are few qualities in human
nature so contemplate as ingratitude.
and none 80 bad as downright lying;
both of which are revealed in the
statement we have just quoted. The
correspondent alluded to is either
greatly mistaken, or a deliberate fall
sifier, as he hardly touches the truth
OF the matter. The facts in the case
show that a public meeting was held
at the court house here the morning
after the destructive fire at Coal Creek
to take some steps towards raising a
relief fund to assist the unfortunate
people who had lost their property In
the conflagration and that committee
consisting of Judge Cooper, Henry L..
White. Geo. R. Cassidy, Richard Houle
and W. E. Galley, was appointed to
take charge of the matter. At a meet

HAD SUCCESSFUL HUNTING
TRIP IN THE NORTHWEST

Arthur Hubbell, OF Grand avenue.
Lincoln Park. reached home Wednes-
day froL. a successful hunting trip In
the mountains OF northwestern Mon
tana where he went early In Septem-
ber for the purpose OF getting some
Of the big game which inhabits that
section Of the country.
Mr Hubbell went by rail as far as
Drummond In Granite county, where
he took the stage for Ovardo, a dis
tance Of about nifty miles. which he
had selected as his Quitting point
From there he packed into the inter-
ior with a guide by the name OF Tay-
lor. formerly OF Farnham. Nebraska,
and pitched camp we'll up on the con-
tinental divide at the end OF a four
days Journey. The country is well
watered one and IL in a primitive
condition, there being no settlers In
any direction for miles. Both shooting
and fishing were excellent and they
had no dimculty in keeping their table
supplied with abundance Of game and
fish. F - ''. .-' '"o.....' F.
That part OF Montana, according to
Mr.. Hubbell, IL admirably suited TO the
sportsman. There IL heavy timber In
some sections. but no tlnderbrush or
tffckets OF any kind, with occasional
patches Of open country. which. for
the lack Of appropriate name, are
called parks" Mr.. Hubbell hunted
chiefly in the valiies OF the Sun and
White rivers. although his explora-
tions covered considerable stretch
OF territory on both sides Of the range.
He succeeded In killing an elk.
Rocky Mountain goat. Canadian lynx,
and lot OF smaller game, the heads
of which were sent to !Stainsky, at
Colorado Springs. to be mounted. Mr..
Hubbell was gone seven weeks and
for thirty days away from the railroad
and out OF all communication with the
folks at home. a1t "'NsA ---
At the conclusion Of his hunting
trip he journeyed to the Pacific coast

1t will be observed from the above
statement that the Relief Committee
turned nothing over to the City, but
did turn over to the Committee on
Streets, Alleys and Bridges OF the City
the sum of $230.6s. And 1t will be fur
not receive any money whatever from
the City OF Canon City, and did not dis
burse any money Of the city; the
moneyof the city being handled en-
tirely and exclusively by the Commit
tee on Streets. Alleys and Bridges.
This Relief Committee was bat a
temporary committee. and appointed
but to relieve the temporary needs
OF the people of Coal Creek. and after
having supplied the pressing neces-
stiles which we were asked to supply,
we had the balance of $230.6s on
hand.
1t would have been an endless un-
dertaking to have rated this sum, and
distributed it back to the donors: and
the subscribers had impressed 1t upon
us that the subscriptions were to be
used In purchasing necessities, and not
to be turned over in cash. This bal
ance was not large enough to supply
the further needs Of the people, in the
way of kitchen ranges, ETC., which
they desired. ~.
And as the city had authorized its
Committee on Streets, Alleys and
Bridges to honor all requisitions on
the part of Coal Greek for needed ne
cessaries UP to the sum OF 81 900, and
this city committee was a permanent
committee, the Relief Committee
thought 1t best to turn this balance Of
$230.68 over TO the Committee on
Streets. Alleys and Bridges, to be
handled along with the funds In their
hands; which was accordingly done.
AS the Relief Committee expended
all the funds by them collected for
the use Of the people OF Coal Creek,
as above shown, except the small sum
OF $230.6s, which was turned over to
the City committee as above stated, we

MAKES EXTENDED EXPLANATION
Canon City, Nov. 2, 1907.
Guy U. Hardy, Esq,
City.

Canon City, Nov. 2, 1907.
Guy U. Hardy, Esq,
City.
Dear Sir:
In the Daily Record of the LIST inst,
there appeared an article entitled
False Report About Our Relief Com
mittee" which is, unintentionally,
quite misleading, and would esteem it
a favor if you will publish this letter
in explanation.
In the first place the report publish
ed in the Ex-Parte and Denver News
had no reference to the Relief Com
mittee composed of the undersigned,
but manifestly was aimed at the Com-
mittee on Streets, Alleys and Bridges
of the city; and we would take no no.
tice whatever of the matter If not for
the fact that the article in the Record
applies the report or structure to the
Relief Committee, and Is erroneous
in other particulars. The facts of the
matter are that the undersigned were
appointed as a committee to collect
subscriptions, and purchase herewith
supplies for the temporary needs of
the sufferers of the Coal Creek fire.
This committee accordingly collected
the following sums. and tose only:
From County Commissioners. 3 10000
From Canon City Volunteer Fire
Department ............. $500
From Woodmen o the World. $500
From town Of South Canon. 10000
From town OF Prospect Heights $500
From private individuals. ..... 465.10
Total 81 1000
And this sum was disbursed as fol-
lows:
Cash to Coal Creek Relief Com
mittee $500
Merchandise and supplies furn-
nished directly to sufferers 61.91
Merchandise and supplies furn-
ished through the Relief
Committee at Coal Creek. 322.51
Cash turned over to the Commit
tee on Streets, Alleys and
Bridges Of Canon City, for
use Of Coal Creek sufferers 23O.68

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Evening Stand
ard, in an editorial article headed DE
mentia Americana" says, referring to the
comparison between certain aspects of Eng.
lish and American justice, which is pro-
voked by the Thaw trial, that the oratory
Of Delmas and Jerome, in addressing the
jury, suggests contrast more significant
than any previously observed It says: 1.-The
nature Of this oratory will produce a pretty
general agreement among English readers.
1t is what may be vulgarly described as
fapdoodle. Delmas was either the greater
sinner or the greater artist. The description
depends on ones point of view. They talk
ed to the jury as though they possessed a
rev raw emotions and no brains whatso-
ever. Each flung his flowers of rhetoric
right and left hour after hour, and wan
dered thunderously in field of yerbiage-"
After remarking that Jerome, as com
pared with Delmas was almost tolerable.
but occasionally no less fanciful and rhe-
torical than his opponent, the Standard
proceeds: Forensic oratory Of such a kind
is uncomfortable in an English court. 1t
would disgust judge and jury alike, and, if
numerically allowed to run to its weedy

body would be SO foolish as to suggest that
