LINDSEY TAKES NO CHANCES.
The Little Juvenile Judge Of Denver
VIII Not Give Up His Job Until
Another is Certain.

Denver.-The appointment of q
dummy" judge of the Juvenile Court.
the same to hold his position until the
Juvenile Court law enacted by the Six
teenth General Assembly has been
tested by the courts, and then to re-
sign his position in favor of Judge Ben
B. Lindsey in case the law is declared
valid, is the unusual expedient which
has been determined upon by those in
terested In the new law. A part of the
plan is to secure the resignation of
the dummy" judge before he is ap.
pointed or at least secure from him a
definite agreement that he will resign
in favor of Judge Lindsey. Like the
famous Peabody resignation, this will
be placed in the hands of a reliable
third party, who can be depended
upon to see that its terms are carried
out.
This plan has been decided upon to
meet the emergency caused by the dis
covery that the Juvenile Court bill has
been doctored in its passage from the
Senate to the House, and the irregular
tiles are such as to create a doubt as
to the validity of the law. While the
bill was being considered In the Sem
dte dH attempt was tllt PAL I
of Judge I.indsey's friends to secure
the adoption of an amendment making
the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court
coordinate with that of the District
Court, thus providing for appeals di-
rect to the Supreme Court.
1t was understood that when the
Juvenile Court was established as Il
separate institution under the law,
that Judge Lindsey was to preside
over it, and that another judge would
be appointed for the County Court.
Under the present conditions Judge
Lindsey does not wish to relinquish
his office for an uncertainty.

Clark is Indicted Again.

E. n. Clark, the Denver & Rio
Grande attorney, who was indicted by
the federal grand jury at Salt Lake on
the charge of filing the names of
dummy entrymen in order to acquire
possession of the coal lands for the
benefit of the railroad company, ap-
peared before United States Commits
sioner Hinsdale and gave bonds in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the November term of the Utah fed
eral court, when the Utah coal land
frauds are to come up for hearing.
Clark was indicted on April 22d for
the second time, the first Indictment
against him being defective, the new
papers were drawn up. The charge
in the warrant sworn out for his ar
rest after the Indictment was for con
spiracy to defraud the government out
of coal lands" The government Off
cials permitted him to give bonds here
as matter of convenience and to save
him the trouble of going to Salt Lake
for appearance.

Map Of San cristobaI QUADRANGLE.

A map of the San Cristobal quad
rangle, Colorado, which embraces an
area of about 944 square miles and
comprises portions of Hinsdale, Min
eral, La Plata and San Juan counties,
has recently been published by the
United States Geological Survey.
This area is one of the most highly
elevated regions recently surveyed by
the government. 1t ranges in altitude
from about 500 feet to 14.5OO feet
above sea level and only very small
part of it is below 5000 feet. The Con
tinental divide extends entirely across
the sheet twice in an east and west di-
rection, swinging around the head Of
the Rio Grande, the source of which is
short distance beyond the western
boundary of this area.
There are few mining settlements
in the northwest part of the quad
rangle and a number of hay ranches
in the lower valleys, but the greater
part of the area is uninha bited and
contains some of the most rugged
mountain country to be found in the
United States. Portions of the San
Juan and Cochetopa national forests
are included in the quadrangle.
Numerous mountain lakes are found
In this quadrangle and from one of
these the quadrangle takes jts name
Some Of these lakes are especially
beautiful. Deer and mountsin sheep
are quite numerous and the streams
abound in troit.

Say What Crop Will Be Short.

Omaha.-A special train. with com
mittee of fifty members of the Omaha
Grain Exchange. which has been max
ing a tour of investigation of the Ne
braska and Kansas wheat fields, has
returned.
Wheat, especially in the southeast
ern portion of Nebraska, has suffered
about ten per cent. from green bugs
and continued drought. Sumner
county, Kansas. will not make over
forty per cent. The bugs have done
great damage to the fields which We're
e~nmined. Some members declare the
entire crop ruined between Caldwell,
ha.sas. and the Oklahoma line, and
Wichita, distance of fifty miles. The
party agrees that the yield of wheat

pared with former years I'VE find
wheat IN mighty bad condition
The party covered the districts of
Kansas and Nebraska which have in
the past always raised bumper crops,
going as far south as the Oklahoma

Agricultural Prosperity,

Signs multiply pointing to another
year OF agricultural prosperity. From
every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer
ing. The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great grain-pro-
ducing states, and announces that
the years wheat crop will be
bumper one, despite reports of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
nest wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage ever
planted, with the growing grain classi-
fed at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har-
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition Of winter wheat
is 100, while Minnesota and South Da-
kota seem certain of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in un-
usually fine condition. In some parts
of the middle west there has been
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought, but the general outlook
is most reassuring. And big year
for crops means steadiness and conf
dence in commercial circles.

BIT THE KILLINGS GO ON.

Michigan has a law which makes the accidental shooting of man by a hunter manslaughter. It has not, how ever,j decreased the number of kill- ings in the woods this season. It seems to prove that the tragedies are due to recklessness of @ sort which no plead- ings and cautions can diminish The record in Wisconsin, which, for some strange reason, is nearly twice as bad as in any other State, has already reached "A killed and 3S injured in the few weeks since the season open ed According to tabUlation kept by the Chicago Record Herald, 71 per sons have been killed and 8 injured in the country at large. To these num- bers might undoubtedly be added at least dozen more fatalities which did not reach the notice of the tabulator, There Is small comfort in a compari- son with the figures of last year, for while the number of killed is slightly less the number of injured is larger, There are few accidents of this sort which need happen if the hunter makes a reasonable effort to learn whether the moving creature in the thicket is deer or a man before he shoots.--New York Evening Post.

COST OF APARTMENTS.
Some Comparisons That Cause
 Thoughts.

Samuel E. Moffett writing in Col Hers on the real cost of armaments
 makes some interesting comparisons
 between certain of our educational funds and the price of one battleship. On June 30 of this year Yale Univer-
 sity had funds aggregating $S,746,690, or S1,S00, GOO less than the cost of a en-million-dolar battleship, whose life cennot be over twenty-five years,
 and which will probably be relegated
 to the scrap-heap within twenty. The
 Rhodes bequest of Oxford scholarships which made a sensation throughout the world, would buy just one battle ship, and so would the Nobel fund of
 nine millions. The John F. Slater fund for the education of the negroes, for which MT Slater received the thanks
 of congress and a medal was only $1,- Oo0,0O the price of two torpedo-boat destroyers "The cost of one battle
 ship" continues MT. Moffett, would pay for all the newspapers and peri odieals issued in the eight states of Del
 aware Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
 ginia, North Carolina South Carolina,
 Georgia and Florida in year" When
 congress was asked to appropriate three millions for the Appalachian and
 White Mountain forest reserves, which would be of untold benefit to the whole
 eastern section of this country for gem
 erations to come, Speaker Cannon
 said congress could not afford to ap- propriate this sum. It was willing,
 however. to give $20,OOO,OoO for two
 more battleships, although this coun-
 try lived from 1875 eo 1895, contented
 and unconquered without possessing a single armored ship.--New York Even 1 ing Post

SANTA ABOUT TOWN
Sunshine Society Plans to Send Four of Him Out in Sleighs
 or Automobiles.
WORKING ON P. 0. LETTERS
Each Child Will be Investigated and the Really Needy Will be
 Remembered.

The plan proposed by the Journal Courier a fortnight ago in connection with the unclaimed Santa Claus letters at the postoffice is progressing with leaps and bounds with every day that passes. With the Elks and the Tri- bune Sunshine society about to act as amateur Santa Clauses, plans are be- ing developed daily for the success of the scheme to make the children who have written to Santa Claus, and are worthy, the happier for their faith ill the genial spirit of Christmas time.
 It is quite probable that the Sun shine society will have real fiesh-and- blood Santa Clauses, either in sleighs, if there is snow, or in autos otherwise, following the custom of the moment, who will go about from door to door on the coming Christmas eve and call out the children who are to be re- membered to give them their presents. The society has already looked up many of the children who have sent letters. It has had about $50 of them turned over to it. A similar number have been given to the Elks.
 Among those children who have all ready been investigated there have been found needy ones all the way from East Haven to Westville, so 1t will be almost matter of necessity that the Santas use the autos in order to get around to their charges in sea- son.
 The Sunshine society has four local branches. IA Santa Claus committee has been appointed in each branch, These committees and the branches of the society that they belong to are as follows; Elm City, Mrs. w. A. Gran vile, Mrs. w. P, Tuttle, Mrs R. S. Woodruff, Mrs. w l.. Allen and Mrs. Jennie Amber; Mayfiower, Mrs. Sim- mons and Mrs. T. J. Adams; Coreop- sis, Miss Eleanor Booth and Miss Edna EIighby; Queen Esther, Mrs. Frederick J. Meyer.
 These committees will meet this af- ternoon at the home of Mrs. Granville to complete arrangements.
 It Is planned to give the children, as far as.is possible, the necessities of life that they ask for, such as stockings shoes, and mittens, rather than the luxuries, among which are candies, toys and the like, Speaking of the plans of the society last evening, Mrs Granville expressed her surprise at the number oI children that asked for necessities ir the letters that had come to her mo- tice, thus showing that they were real | ly needy
 As was told in this paper yesterday morning, the Elks are planning a mon ster entertainment to be held at Elks hall probably on Christmas eve.

LONDON THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Season of Glorles from the First of
 May to the End of July.

The London season of thirty years ago was far more prolonged and its glories more apparent than they are now. It was loked upon as very se- rious matter which no self-respecting persons who considered themselves fin society" would forego, nor of which a votary of fashion would willingly miss a week a day Relgiously on the first day of May, Belgravia-the Bel gravia described by Lord Beacons- tield-would open the doors of it's freshly painted and fiower-bedecked mansions. Dinners, balls, and parties succeed {, one another without inter missions till the end of July, the only respite being at the Whitsuntide re- cess. A few of the racing people might go to Newmarket for a week, but the fashionable world flocked only to the classic races-the Derby, Ascot and Goodwood.
 Parties were arranged for Hurling- ham to see the pigeon shooting, or for the fashionable flower shows then held at the botanical gardens, or again to Wimbledon to see the shooting for the Elcho Shield, which in those days was a feature of the London season. To be commandant of the camp was a covet- ed post, and 1 remember Lord and Lady Wharneliffe living in large tents and entertaining for whole fortnight in the most sumptuous manner.
