The Triumph of Sweets.


Old notions must give way before
modern ideas, if the contention of GER
tain physicians is sound. For genera
tons parents and other guardians of
children have warned the little ones
against the evils of too great and fire.
Quent indulgence in sweets. Yet here
comes London doctor who says that
candy is a good thing, and everybody
should eat not less than a quarter of
pound every day, while larger guam
titles would do no harm. And the
doctor makes his argument favorable
TO utilitarian purpose. He asserts
that nothing is more Strengthening
than sugar, and adds: 1T is possible
to work for hours after eating four
ounces of chocolate without feeling
the slightest fatigue. If / had my way
every soldier in the British army
should be allowed quarter of a
pound of sweets every day" AS to the
danger Of toothache, the doctor says
all he can recommend is that people
clean their teeth oftener. Whatever
may be the general view Of the doc
tors teaching, remarks Troy Times,
there is no doubt the candymakers will
give him vote of thanks.

L. H. PERKINS FALLS TO DEATH
Insures His Life for s45o,Ooo and Falls
From Housetop

Lawrence, Kan-Under circum.
stances that indicate suicide and a
carefully laid plan to make his death
appear an accident, Luicius II. Per.
klns, prominent in legal and Masonic
circles, who had his life insured for
nearly half a million dollars, fell from
the roof of his residence and received
injuries from which he died few
hours later without regaining CON
sciousness.
Perkins went up to the roof at 6
o'clock, and nobody knows what he
went up for. He ventured out on the
east end so far that it would have
been a wonder if some accident had
not befallen him. A man working on
the place saw him topple over and gave
the alarm This man thinks that Per
kins partly caught himself when he
passed trough on the wall, but does
not know He hit the ground in a sit
ting posture and then fell forward. He
was picked up and medical aid sum-
moned, but nothing could be done for
him.
Perkins carried life insurance
amounting to about $45O,0OO. The fam.
ily does not know the exact amount.
Most of this insurance was written in
the past six months. A year ago Per
kins built a house costing $4,000
When nearly finished 1t caught fire one
night and was nearly destroyed. The
origin of the fire was never learned
This loss was adjusted and the house
rebuilt. 1t was named Ufton Court
and Perkins entertained extensively,
Perkins was secretary of the state
examining board for lawyers and last
year was president of the State Bar
Association. He had arranged his busi.
ness preparatory to leaving for Can.
ada for the summer. He was promi.
nent in Masonic circles and was sup.
posed to be quite wealthy.

COAL DEALER RUNS AMUcK
Beats Court Judge With Seal But Has
His Form Pied" When He
Encounters Old Pressmen.

Breckenridge, Colo.-County Judge
J. w. Swisher was the victim of VIC
ious assault in his chamber by
Thomas b. Thompson, distributor for
the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company,
who used the official seal of the court
struck him repeatedly with the wea-
pon, and Judge Swisher, besides Sc
we're bruises. has a cash over the left
temple that bled so profusely as to
cover the floor with blood
After disabling the judge Thompson
locked horns with white haired Col
onel j. R. Oliver, who many years ago
was pressman in Denver when the
papers came out on hand presses. In
those days Oliver was called the
strongest man in the territory and was
nicknamed Sampson" Thompson is
a very burly and active man in the
prime of life, but he was glad to have
someone hold him after oliver seized
him.
Thompson rushed to the police judge
and, pleaded guilty to assault and bat
terry, possibly thinking to get off cas-
lily, but was fined 500 and costs. He
paid the fine and then wanted to ap-
peal the case, but was told there was
no appeal when the defendant volun-
tairly pleaded guilty to charge made
by himself. He then sworc out war
rant for Judge Swisher, Colonel Oliver,
Sam Swisher and A. l.. Wood, who was
not present at the fracas, charging
them with insulting him. Owing to
the absence of District Judge Hogan,
the police judge ordered the case set
for hearing June 10th.
A warrant has been sworn out by
Judge Swishcr charging Thompson
with assauting him with deadly
weapon and Thompson has been
placed under a bond of $500 for his
appearance.
The disturbance arose over column
article in the Breckenridge Bulletin
owned by Swisher, which excoriated
I the local coal dealers, who are r. B.
Thompson and C. A. Finding. Finding
is the man who for weeks lodged H.
c. Clay whose wife he was charged
with leading astray. He had Denver
detectives protecting him, as Clav was
| supposed to be hunting him with a
gun.
For many weeks the coal trust here
has had no coal to supply customers
even at the exorbitant rate of Sc. 10
and 81 ton. Coal was formerly $3.50
| a ton here in car lots, and the Bulletin
has written up the trust every chance
it has had for its predatory methods
of business.

A. J. Dickson, Editor and Prop.
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO
Depar,mentaey Commissioners.

The most sensible and businesslike
plan is that of the interstate COM
Derce commission providing for de-
partmentary commissioners at places
remote from Washington. Under the
old regime, in which the commission
ers themselves travelled all over the
country to hear complaints-many of
them of comparatively small conse-
Quence-the shipping interests suf-
fered intolerable DELAYS. Many months
often interviewed between hearings on
the same complaint. Inquiries were
interrupted by the multifarious de-
mands on the time of the commission
ers, and business suffered correspond
ingly. While all the plans for the
new regime have not been completed,
it is expected, says System Magazine,
that the departmentary commissioners
will be assigned to groups of states
remote from Washington, and that of
fees will be opened in such cities as
Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco and
st. Paul. The deputy commissioners
will keep in touch with railroad mat
ters and will have authority to con-
duct hearings on complaints and to
adjust minor difficulties. The depu-
ties, of course, will have NO rate-fixing
power, but will report testimony to
the commission itself, somewhat as a
master in chancery conducts court
hearings. The interstate commerce
commission is fairly buried in com
plants that have been piling up for
months, and although it has been ac-
lively at work, the task still ahead of
it appeared hopeless

they receive a report within a day or

This may serve as q bulletin TO the de-

of a blacksmith shop last night, The
place in question is located at 7s9 State

hammer. a brace-and-bit and other
tools had been stolen. The articles APP
propriated are nearly always used by

the brace a hole can be bored into

ment with which to knock off the COM

AS the articles in question would
bring but little from a junk man or
