PEACE IN THE ORIENT.
Youths Companion.

fOutn companion.
One of the characteristics of east
ern peoples which makes life among
them hard for western conquerors
~ their readiness to transform them
selves from fighting men into appar-
entity meek and humble noncombat-
ants when an Overwhelming force of
soldiers comes along. In Burma this
made much trouble for an English
column, whose experiences are told
by the author Of "A People at
School,"
We were in very hostile country.
That was easy to see. When we
went out of town we were fired upon.
We thought reprisal necessary, and
tried it--but to retaliate you must
have some one to retaliate on. We
saw no one.
Day after day we marched over
barren hills and through struggling
villages and looked for foes. We
found only villagers. They titled
their fields and looked upon us with
curiosity. When we asked where the
enemy was they shook their heads
and said they knew of none.
Where are the dacoits?" we
askEa.
What are the dacoits?" they an
swered.
Evil men with guns we said.
They shook their heads. They were
all peaceful cultivators and knew
nothing of such things.
Then we went on, and each peace
full cultivator followed us to get
shot at us.

The confession of AL Gilmore and
Harold Mcknaw to the brutal murder
of Max Weissblei and Teve Bokser At
the crossing Of the Denver & Inter-
Mountain railroad in Denver last
Thursday night, gives a tolerably
clear idea OF the commission Of the
crime. McKnaw and Gilmore said
that they met Weissblei and Bokser
leading a. COW. They stopped them
and objected to the way they we're
beating the COW. All four were un-
der the influence Of liquor and had q
wordy discussion. Weissblci and
Bokser answered the criticism angri.

DANGERS OF A COLD AND HOW
TO AVOID THEM.

More fatalities have their origin IN
or result from cold than from any
other cause. This fact alone should
make people more careful, as there is
no danger whatever from a cold

ginning. For many years Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has been recog-
nlzed as the most prompt and effect
ual medicine in use for this disease.
1t acts on natures plan, loosens the
cough, relieves the lungs, opens the
secretions and aids nature in restor-
ing the system to healthy condition.

THE GRIP.

Before we can sympathize with
others we must have suffered our
selves. No one can realize the suffer
Ing attendant upon an attack Of the
grip, unless he has had the actual
experience. There is probably NO
disease that causes SO much physical
and mental agony, or which SO sue
cessfully and defies medical aid. All
danger from the grip. however. may
be avoided by the prompt use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens Of thousands who have used
this remedy. not one case has been
reported that has resulted In. pne,t
monis or that has not recovered. For
sale by all dealers.

And each might have his share,

FRANK WILL GETS BUSY.

roi SUNNI uays soiue DOy with an
air gun has been taking shots at
old men. decrepit women, small
children and stray dogs and cats,
without any idea of consequences or
any sort of restraint. And il is things
like these which have given the VA
rious communities of Durango much
grief for long time. It has been
complained for years that the city
council has been inadequate in its
sense of policing the city in this re-
spect. For town of 1000 people
three men day and night, compared
to Aspen in her best days, with elev-
en- men, Durango has had large
police revenue from liquor and its
kindred understudies, which in most
towns of the West have been used as
a police revenue.

enough men on the police force or

breeders, and as Mr.. Will says:
What recourse. what redress
have you? I've been trying to find
out. Every man can't live in the
country with high fence around his
children. Some of us have to work
where We can. Must every man be
law unto himself to protect his
family, and take the chances OF go
ing to jail or being indicted for
something that every man with a
family ought to do? will have to
get busy enough to find out.
Yesterday when went home /
found that a boy had shot one OF
my children in neither limb with an
air gun The little fellow was crying
with pain and / went out to see II
could locate the offender. I stepped
out to the corner Of Tenth street and
Second avenue and found the same
boy shooting at Mr.. Navinger's
little boy who resides near me. Two
of the fire house boys were watching
him shooa, appearing to be oblivious
OF the fact that the shooter might
blind one or both of the eyes Of the
Navinger baby. l tried to capture
the young gunnist but he had the
start and outran me.
81 fear that we will have to take
these things in our hands. No boy
should be permitted to go about the
streets with such instruments Of dan
ger to children. and even older peo-
pie. I met some boys day or two
ago with shotgun, handling 1t
carelessly, and asked them II the
gun was loaded. One replied no and
the other told me to go to h"
Mr.. Will but reiterates many other
complaints of similar character.
Parents working in or out OF the city,
those who cannot be about home all
the time, have found many vexations
TO contend with. They have had to
suffer their children to be stoned or
shot at or blackguarded by street
gamins and young loafers and Grim
inals until their patience became
So far exhausted that they had to be-
come violators OF the law themselves.
The city council may find 1t incumi
bent to include in Its policy of po-
licing Durango some attention to the
things which contribute really most
| to disturb the general peace.

DEMURRAGE
scheme
OPPONENTS TO MEASURE SEE A
coLoRED INDIVIDUAL.
1t Is Claimed That Reciprocal Demur-
rage Would Furnish a Fine Cover
ing for the Payment of Railroad
Rebates.

Washington. Jan 15.-Next weel
there is to be campaign at the White
House between those favorfng a recip-
rocal demurrage law as a cure for car
shortage and those opposed to the
same. 1t is the desire of each side to
enlist the aid of the president and each
will ask him to go to the length OF
sending special message to con-
gress
Those favoring reciprocal demurrage
vii. be the committee appointed by
the recent reciprocal demurrage con-
vention at Chicago, Of which Victor
Fl. Beckmsn of Seattle is chairman.
Mr.. Beckman is now here and has ar
ranged for an audience with the presi-
dent for his committee for next
Wednesday morning. He has 1000
photographs illustrating the effects of
car shortage on business, and will at
tempt to show that car shortage is
driving many prosperous concerns to
ruin
ON the other hand, some of the great
est railroads, while admitting all that
is charged about the effect of car
shortage, argue that reciprocal demur-
rage viii prove a remedy worse than
the disease. These roads, which are
not in the Standard Oil combine, con-
tend that under reciprocal demurrage
law ii would be the simplest thing in
the world for a large shipper, whom
the road wanted to favor, to order cars
under circumstances with which no
road could comply, and claim and re-
ceive demurrage In sufficient amount
to have the Identical effect of the out
rageoIls rebates by means of which the
Standard Oil monopoly was built up
and all its competitors crushed. II is
further contended that the transaction
would be fully inside any law that
could be drawn.
The smaller shipper would receive
his cars promptly. but never any de-
murrage, and thus the effect upon his
business would be the same as though
his big competitor was receiving a re-
bate under any of the old rebate de-
vices
1t is becoming apparent to anyone
following the work OF the Interstate
commerce commission that the railroad
interests Of the country have rapidly
crystalized into two camps, one led by
the Vanderbilt Morgan combination,
and the other by the Standard Oil
Hartman outfit and that this recipro-
cal demurrage contest IS only one OF
many which will >have to take place
before the question Of supremacy is
settled. There Is already evidence that
these two groups are taking part in
the next presidential campaign, and
that they are preparing 10 fight over
the nomination In each party
