Local Option Bill Becomes Law.

Surrounded by twenty ministers of
various denominations of the city, seq,
ators, representatives and in the pres
ence of filled galleries of the House.
Governor Buchtel at 2:15 o'clock Mon
day afternoon signed the local option
bill, and it forthwith became law of
the state of Colorado, the first local
option law ever enacted in the state.
While the governor was seated, sign
ing the BILL a number of the legisla
tors, even several who voted for the
measure, detracted from the solemn
ity and dignity of the ceremony by
striking up the popular tune, How
Dry | Ami" The audience did not lend
their voice, and the singers discontin-
ued after the first verse. Some laughed
but Governor Buchtels heavy eye
brows knitted and by facial expression
he showed his lisapproval of the hill
arity.
Exercises of religious nature, par
ticipated in by officers of the Anti-Sa'
loon League, preceded the signing.

No Show for New NormaIs.

The first of the three normal school
bills. to establish normal institutions
at Trinidad, Durango and Grand juno
ton, was practically put to sleep when
the Senate adopted motion leaving
the selection of site for the schools
to a commission made up of ex-gov-
ernors, and sent the measure to the
bottom of the calendar, where it will
never be reached again this session.
The bill was vigorously fought in com
mittee of the whole. This particular
measure was by Senator Wood, to es-
tablish one of the schools at Trinidad
and appropriating $25,000 for it. In
return Trinidad offered a suitable site
of twenty acres and $1,000 bonus.

"The Tyranny Of the Roof"

We think of the savage tribe as liv.
Ing outdoors. and free from the re-
straints which come from civilization
the garment, the house and the
cook. But there is barbarism which
spends its winters in huts and holes
from which every breath of fresh air
is shut out, and where the sitting at
mosphere is heavy with 'old shapes
of foul disease" Akin to the life Of
the hut and the slum is the life of the
home of whatever grade where cold is
dreaded more than bad air. The farm
house, the millionaire's palace and the
village grocery alike shelter miserable
sinners against natures laws. The
crusade against the ravages of con-
sumption has awakened thousands to
the fact that the need for pure air is
for good food, although it speaks with
less tnsistent voice. But, remarks
Youths Companion, hundreds of thou
sands of housewives yet need to learn

the healing power of pure, cold air.
stepped in Gods own sunshine A
woman who was known as the queen
of the Gypses died recently in Eng
land. She was of great age and amaz-
ing vigor and real character" in
her reserve and her hatred of modern
conditions. She seldom talked, but it
was known that she considered educa-
ton as rubbish, houses as no better
than prisons, and the persons who
died in them as the victims of their
own effeminacy. In phrase both
telling and memorable, she boasted
herself free from the tyranny of the
roof That is truly noble freedom
and one which every wise woman may
covet for herself and her children.
Perhaps another hundred years may
see the stuffy bedroom everywhere
supplanted by the airy porch, and
find civilized man again sleeping un-

Last Week With the Lawmakers.

be busy one, but there Will be NHl
hurry and scurry and all night ses-
sions The Assembly is well to the
front with its work. 1t began well.
There was not an hours delay over
the election of a United States sena-
tor. Three or four important meas
ures remain to pass both bodies, but
they have been discussed and digested
and should be to the governors desk
by the end of the week.
The principal battle will be waged
over the insurance bill, which passed
the Senate some weeks back and is
now with the House. Although all the
big companies, home and foreign, are
giving their support to the measure
nevertheless, strong lobby is working
against 1t, and the last week of ses-
sion is always dangerous when there is
a lobby doing business near at hand
Delay means death to a measure some
times.
A bankers bill framed by the state
Bankers association, passed the House
and is now in the Senate. 1t provides
for the inspection and publication
required of national banks to be ap-
piled to all institutions receiving the
peoples deposits. under whatever
name. AS the law stands at present,
savings banks, trust companies, build
ing and loan associations, fidelity com
panies and the like are irresponsible
to any one. A bank examiner is pro-
vided for in the bill and his depart
ment is made responsible for the
soundness of these institutions. 1t is
said that an effort will be made to de,
feat the measure.

Because of a poor olive crop in
Spain the demand for peanuts is
brisk, and the peanut growers in the
province of Valencia are holding their
crop for high price. Peanut oil is
largely used by the Spaniards instead
of olive oil. and the peanut competes
with the olive at the oil-crushers. The
consular report from which this in
formation is taken does not say
whether or not the Spanish dealers
sell the peanut oil as olive OIL They
may be more scrupulous in their trade
designations than some dealers in cot
tonseed oil have been.

Denver Trade Excursion Extends
Route

Denver,-ln order to adjust the itin-
erary properly, it has been found nee
essary to extend the trade excursion,
planned by the Denver merchants for
early April, to number of towns not
at first contemplated in the schedule
1t was strongly desired to avoid tray
cling twice over the same route. if pos
sible, and to do this, Thomas Scott,
traffic manager of the Colorado Manu-
facturerS Association who is making
out the itinerary, is now figuring on
running the special into Deadwood
over the Burlington and out over the
Chicago & Northwestern This will
avoid duplication of the route and will
allow the merchants to visit Lander,
Douglas, Casper and Shoshoni, none of
which had been originally contem-
plated.
Despite this increased distance of
700 miles, the trip will not cost any
more than at first announced, and
there is every probability that it will
cost even less. Mr.. Scott has taken up
the matter of rates with the roads over
which the excursion will run, and from
present indications it seems probable
that fiat rate of u cents mile will
be granted. This will make the cost of
the trip considerably less than at first
figured and there should be CORE
spondingly large number of new addi-
tions to the list of those who intend to
join the excursionists. This list is re-
ceiving daily additions although no
special effort has been made vet to
make up The final quota necessary. and
there seems little doubt but that the
required number will be gotten to-
gether without difficulty

coking Coal Discovered in Wyoming

Buffalo. Wyo.-A discovery which
means untold wealth and possibilities
for this section of the state and the
Northwest has just been made near
here. 1t is that coliing coal of high
class quality and of immense uuanti-
ties exists in this country extending
from Rock creek, three miles north of
Buffalo, running in southeasterly di-
rection distance of about eight
miles. The vein is eight feet thick
and the samples represent very pure
Ignite. On account of its low ash
content and its remarkably low per-
centage of moisture, it must be re-
garded as an excellent specimen Of
this class of coal

p. B. & W. VOTES
TO INCREASE DEBT
Stockholders Sanction Five
Million Dollars More Of
Expenditure

Stockholders of the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington Railroad
yesterday voted TO increase the in
debtedness Of the company by $5.0O0,-
900. Whether this is to be secured Dy
bonds or some other form Of security
was left to the discretion of the di-
rectors. To the judgment of the board
also. did the shareholders determine TO
relv as to when all or part of the
s5.000.000 shall be issued.
This will increase the Indebtedness
of the p. B. and w. to S25.OOO,O 900. Be-
cause all of the s20.ooO,oOO formerly
authorized had been used the share
holders had TO vote on the proposition
to make the debt greater.
Just what uses the S5,000,000 will be
put TO has not been definitely deter
mined. 1t is likely. however. that at
burse the Pennsylvania Railroad for
moneys advanced Tor improvement
and construction work.
For several weeks it has been
rumored that at the meeting the stock
holders would probably be called upon
to vote on a proposition to merge the
lines Of the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia Peninsula with the Maryland
division. These are the Baltimore
Chesapeake and Atlantic. the Della
ware Railroad and the Delaware
Maryland and Virginia.
No such plan. however, was pre-
sented at the meeting, the increasing
of the Indebtedness being the onfy
business brought up for discussion.
