leaders in the Austrian colony here,
and each possessed of a comfortable
fortune, were the contestants. They
both adored the tiny piece of human
ity and had shared the pleasure of
caring for him. So strong did their
admiration and love for the boy be-
come that each was jealous of the
other and on several occasions lately
according to friends they have nearly
come to blows as to who had the
prior right to the boy.

would decide the question. The news

COLORADO COLLEGE HEALTHY
Enters Upon Thirty-second Year in
Splendid Condition.

Colorado Colorado College
enters upon its thirty-second academic
year with every indication of a pros
porous session. The attendance is
larger than ever before, the incoming
freshman class numbering 1G5. forty
OF whom are registered in the engi-
neering courses. The faculty has
been materially enlarged and strength
ened by the addition of several profes-
sors and instructors. Three vacancies
in the faculty have been most accept
ably hlled by DR.. George NJ. Howe,
who comes to the German department
with very high recommendations from
Cornell University; Professor Charles
w. u. Parsons. appointed to the chair
OF physics, and Professor c. j. Fore
man, placed in charge of the depart
ment of political economy and social
science
An important addition to the college
faculty is that of G. H. Albright, who
comes from the Polytechnicacl Pre-
paratory School of Brooklyn to assist
Professor Cajori in the department of
mathematics. Another important ap-
pointment is that of Frank NJ. Touret
to the office of treasurer, made vacant
by the resignation last spring of
George n. Marden. Five members of
last years graduating class are regis
tered as instructors either in the col
lege or academy The permanency
and efficiency of this latter arm of
the institution has been guaranteed by
the announcement of James w. Park
as head master of Cutler Academy.
Professor Park is not only man of
high standing as scholar and teach
er, but an athlete of enviable record as
well.
There is much interest here in the
new dormtory for girls. Ground was
broken for this much-needed building
week ago and work upon the founda-
tion is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t is expected that the struc
ture will be completed in time for use
during commencement week next
June.

Denver-By the decision of Inter,
state Commerce Commissioner f. E.
Clark, who was selected as arbitrator,
the switchmen in the western territory

brotherhood of Railway TSainmen,
conveyed the intelligence thar the ar
bitrator had decided in favor of the

effect on October lst 1t affects 5000
men employed on railroads west of
Chicago
Grand Master Morrissey represented
the switChmen al the arbitration court
and General Manager Hurley of the

The decision puts the final quetus
on a question that has been the bone
of contention since last November,

Shortage Of Cars Begins.

Denver.-Because of shortage OF
cattle cars live stock is being shipped
into Denver from eastern Colorado in
box-cars. During the past few days
several carloads have arrived at the
stock yards In this way.
The railroads are already complain
ing that they are having difficulty in
supplying all the cars demanded.
When the heavy shipments of coal
commence. which will occur in ten
days or two weeks, the railways Will
be unable to supply all the cars re-
quired, and may have difficulty in NOV
ing the shipments they receive.
Business in this state was never be-
fore so heavy at this time of year The
fruit crop, although not as large as
last year requires more than thous-
and cars. The sugar beet crop will
commence moving just when the de-
mand for coal will begin to be heard.
and the general shipments of the au-
tumn. which are always heavy, will
give the railroads more business than
they can handle.
One of the members OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission Is inves-
tigating the car shortage in other
parts Of the country and will probably
some to Denver within the next month.

The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as being
from the inside of the big packing

significant when it is stated that they

organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey, with capitalization of $15,00O.-

lowing:

The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price of leather to all factories.
and thus, incidentally:
The price of shoes.
The grain trade is controlled, and, 1t
follows:
Control Bread, Too.
The price Of bread.
Thus without taking such endless
details as the fertilizer market, where
the trust controls the price that
farmer pays for his fertilizer. it ap-
pears that the latest fight of the gov
ernment in the trust field is directed
to the two chief essentials of life
bread and meat.
That the big ten at Chicago has
raised the price of these things to the
consumer and made no corresponding
increase in price paid for raw material
is the chief assertion of the govern
ment, and it is upon this general line
that the most interesting trust fight in
the country is now being planned.

Packing Company decide upon the

tion that has come into the hands OF

Diplomatic notes were exchanged, and
1 finally prevailed upon the duke to
state that he held the wheel harmless
and that his anger had been directed
solely against his niece. This letter
was duly forwarded to the manpsac-
turers, who, after the manner OF their
kind, carefully altered the phrasing
and used 1t in their magazine adver

that they offered me my selection from

never read anything but the Fliegende

FINE GIFT TO PRINTERS HOME
Woman Donates 100000 for Comfort
Of Aged Members OF Craft.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-A Colorado
Springs woman has offered 100000
for the establishment of an endow-
ment fund for the erection and mainte-
nance of cottages in which to house
the families of inmates of the Union
Printers home in this city. The board
of trustees of the home, at the final
session at their meeting here, passed
the necessary amendment to the char
ter of the home to permit the estab-
llshment of the fund.
Another important action taken by
the trustees was the erection of tu-
berculosis santarium. The present
hospital annex will be used for this
purpose and the most advanced meth
ods known to science for the treat
ment of consumption will be adopted.
The offer of the 100000 from the
woman, whose name is withheld, was
made about one year ago. but could
not be accepted, because of the char
ter as it then stood. The last Legisla-
ture passed a law permitting incorpor.
ations to change their charters.
1t is expected that citizens from all
over the country will contribute to the
fund and that within few years the
amount will have grown sufficiently TO
accommodate all occupants of the hos
pital. Heretofore there has been y
great deal of hardship among the fam
lies of the printers because OF en-
forced separation. The new fund will
permit the relatives to live near them
in cottages and tents.
There are about sixty patients in
the hospital annex and nearly 100 in
the regular building.

for them. Whatever she did was right
