Penalties Of Prosperity.

After all is said It must be conceded
that the apparent disregard for human

tribute to progress and to the indus

fatal railroad accidents. the largest
Item in the list. cannot be wholly
eliminated. though they can and ought

says the Indianapolis News. railroad
accidents are only one Item in the list
of annual fatalities. There are fatal
accidents in mining. building. manu-.
featuring and agriculture. They all
claim their victims as sort of tribute

Carefully compiled statistics show that

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
Granite Shaft Will Soon Be Erected
in Denver.

Denver.-A report has now been
completed by members of the Soldiers
Monument Commission appointed by
the last General Assembly to be pre-
sented to the present Legislature. The,
commission consists OF Governor Nc
Donald, Capt. Jack Howard and DR.. C.
w. Curfman. A shaft of Cotopaxt
granite has been procured from the
quarry at Texas Creek, Colorado, and
will be ready for erection soon.
The monument is to be erected at
the Broadway entrance to the state
house in memory of the Colorado SOL
diers who fell in the Civil War. The
design selected by the board, after
conducting a competition and inviting
the submission Of designs, consists OF
a granite monument of six pieces,
three bases, die, a cap and finale,
all to be surmounted by the figure Of
a cavalry soldier in bronze, and four,
bronze plates to be let into the sides
of the die, on which shall be placed the
names of the different battles in which
the Colorado troops engaged.
The construction of the monument
was let to ]. NJ. Green of Denver for
$1,000, the contract for the bronze
plates going to the Sachs-Lawler Ma
chine and Manufacturing Company for
$1,000. The work was somewhat de-
layed by the difficulty in procuring
suitable granite.
The board will report to the Legis-
lature that it has held fourteen meet
ings since organizing, and has ex-
pended $1,009.15 and contracted for
the further expenditure of $10,4S3,
which will leave a balance of $2,616.S5
out Of the original appropriation. The
expenditures made are fully outlined
in the report.
It is stated in the report that the
balance on hand will not be sufficient
to place the bronze statue on the mon
ument, and about $4,000 will have to
be appropriated to finish the monu-
ment on the lines adopted by the
board. An appropriation of this
amount will undoubtedly be requ ested.
