Would Blow Up Hospital.

Cripple Creek. Colo.-Roy Bourquin,
aged eighteen years, is under arrest,
charged by the county physician, DR..
Griscoll, with placing several sticks
of dynamite on the furnace of the
county hospital Bourquin. few
years ago. while playing with dyna-
mite, had both of his hands blown off
and he lost the sight of an eye.
Two months ago some boys had a
bonfire near the county hospital,
where he resides. and he threw a cap
into the fire which nearly destroyed
the sight of an eye of another young
ster. Bourquin has a mania for ex-
plosivcs and is constantly playing with
them. The fact that patient at the
county home went down in the cellar
to fix the fire yesterday afternoon and
happened to see the sticks lying on the
top of the furnace, removed the posi-
bility of the institution being blown
up and Il number of lives lost

In the country district of Burmah
the natives still practice the old

seldom found in the cities where the

Straight ahead was native cart. in
which was a family party out holiday

AReOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Governor 6uchtel Set Aside April 18th
As Day on Which to Plant Trees.

Governor Buchtel is interested in all
the festivities which, as rule, mark
Arbor Day. He was strongly in favor
of calling April "Arbor Month" but
was advised that the law sets aside but
one day to be observed. He has issued
the following proclamation:
The Colorado Arbor Day law is as
follows:
The third Friday in April of each
year shall be set apart and known as
''Arbor day" TO be observed by the
people of this state in the planting of
forest trees for the benefit and adorn-
ment of public and private grounds.
places and ways. and in such other eff
forts and undertakings as shall be in
harmony with the general character of
the day so established; provided. that
the actual planting of trees may be
done on tire day designated. or at such
other most convenient time as may
best conform TO local climatic condi-
tionS, such other time to be desig
mated, and due notice thereof given,
by the several county superintendents
OF schools for their respective coun-
ties"
In accordance with this law, I there
fore designate, Friday, April 10Th, as
Arbor Day, for the year 1907 and heart
lily recommend to all the people Of
the state, to all professors and stu.
dents in educational institutions. and
to all teachers and pupils in the public
schools, that the day be observed in
the manner contemplated by the law.
Special attention is directed to the ad
vice in The law that the actual plant
ing of trees shall be done at such con-
venient time as may best conform to
local climatic conditions. The entire
month of April should. therefore, be
recognized as the month for the plant
ing of trees in Colorado
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great
seal of state to be affixed, at Den
yer, this 26th day of March, A. d. 1907

Shark Bites OF Sailors Finger.

Washin ston.-A curious story illus.
trating the number and ferocity of the
sharks that infest the harbor of Manila
is afforded by an incident reported in
the mail Just received at the insular
bureau from the Philippines. This is
to the effect as one of the boats be-
longing to the little gunboat FL Cane
was being rowed out to the ship Feb
ruary 9Th, the plug in the bottom of
the boat came out, and to prevent it
from being swamped J. j. Dunlap, a
soldier belonging to the Ell Cane,
thrust his finger into the hole. The
finger WIS Immediately bitten off as
il it were amputated by a surgeon,
though the amputation in this case
was by shark. AS the lost finger was
used TO pull the trigger of the rife,
the sailor will have to be retired, being
incompetent to perform his duty.

So We are told by the great scient-
lists who are certainly doing wonders
in reducing the death rate from Tuber-

lect cold or cough. and it is most i'm
portant that this advice be followed.
While the cough or cold may not bring
consumption, 1t is better to be on the
safe side and take no chances.
Here is a simple remedy that will
break up cold in twenty four hours.
and cure any cough that is durable:
Glycerine, two ounces: Virgin Oil OF
Pine Pure). one-half ounce; good
Whisky, a half pint. Shake well and
use in teaspoonful doses every four
hours, The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist At
small cost, but must be pure to effect
the desired results For this reason it
is always best to purchase the ingredi-
ents separately and prepare the mix
tdre at home.
Virgin Oil OF Pine (Pure) should be
purchased only in the original half
ounce vials put up for druggists to
dispense. Each vial is enclosed in a
